Since, due to some issues.. our forum was going down with the amount of active users.. I have decided to post my stories here also.😊 Let's try to keep the environment happy & active!😃

Chapter 11-
It was already 10 in the morning and till now no sign of Raghav & Kalpi at Mr. Agnihotri's office though their expected time of arrival was 9 in the morning. An anxious Mr. Agnihotri waited in his cabin for the duos arrival but all in vain. Ten minutes slipped by and a luxurious Lamborghini screeched at halt in front of the Agnihotri Group of Company premises. A suave man who got off the car thereafter, was none other than the Raghav Singhania. The man seemed to be in quite a haste and there he started taking swift steps towards the office, as fast as he could but maintaining the CEO swag too. He had to after all!
Just as Raghav's car went to the parking, there came another luxurious Porsche from which a beautiful maiden, Ms. Kalpana Jadhav got off. She was in the same hurry as Raghav seemed to be. She swiftly carved her way towards the lift. But to her inconvenience, the lift was about to leave but then & there someone inside the lift pressed the re-open button and the world seemed to slow down as the lift opened revealing a crowd of people stuffed inside. Kalpana's eyes met the person's who was responsible for pressing the button, Raghav.
He stared back too. The crowd immediately made space for her as soon as they recognized her. By now Kalpana had entered the lift and stood beside Raghav as it was the only space left to stand at first place. The two kept glancing each other quite a few times as similar questions played in their mind,"Is he/she trying to follow me? That too till here? How did he/she know that I am coming here? He/she surely must be having connections with terrorists! " (They imagine nothing below terrorists!)
The lift stopped at 16th floor and they stepped out, but now their stupid intuitions were strengthening as they were following the same track. Now both of them decided to attack. They decided to shoot off their accusations at each other, "Wait a second!! Where are you going by the way you jerk head??!! Following girls?? Is this what you have learned throughout your life? "
Kalpana was all so fast that Raghav was baffled and couldn't utter a word.
"Oh..now I get!! I was correct!! You are following me?? Isn't it?? That's why you couldn't reply me where you are going?? Hai na?? You are a terrorist in disguise, aren't u!!??"
Raghav's anger had crossed its boiling point,"Oh just shut up!! You stupid little kitten!! And keep your claws to yourself!! What do you think hun?? What do you think yourself as?? A Princess of Nowhere land?? And let me tell you..even if you are the last girl on this planet, I wouldn't even look at you! And moreover, I had come here for some work! And if you are done with your crappiest of craps, I am leaving!! " after passing a disgusted look at her and not even waiting for her reply, he left towards Mr. Agnihotri's cabin.
Kalpi was dumbstruck, as it was the first time someone had talked back to her like that and it had infuriated her like anything.
Cursing her fate, stomping her feet & deciding to increase her security thereafter, she marched towards the cabin.
As she pushed open the door to the cabin, and only one word escaped Kalpana's lips, "Tum!!??".
Raghav looked up, turned and repeated the same, standing up,"Tum!!??" though a bit late.
Mr. Agnihotri, who was the witness to all the exchanges of expressions between them, gulped hard.
Mr. Agnihotri's POV- Ye log jaante hain ek dusre ko? Arre.. mai bhi kya socch raha hoon.. jaante toh honge hi.. par itna jhagad kyun rahe hain? Pata nahi yeh dono meri baat sunne ke baad mera kya karenge!? Bhagwan baccha lena haan.. (What, they both know about each other? Oh.. what am I even talking about.. they surely must be knowing each other. But why r they fighting so much? Don't know, what will they do with me after listening to what I have to say.. God save me hun..)
He fixed his tie and made Raghav and Kalpana sit down.
Mr. Agnihotri stared at the two sulking people in front of him, decided to keep his calm and say what he had too.
After much hesitation,
He let out, "So, Mr. Singhania and Ms. Jadhav.. u both r here so that we can discuss something important and that is regarding the most awaited Annual business meet. I hope you both have received the invitations by now."
Both of them nodded.
"Hmm.. As u r now aware of it.. we can talk further. You both are the biggest rivals in the business sector, u both very well know that. So as to fund the business meet this year.. the finance partner wanted a promise from us after only which he'll provide with finances. And as it was really important and his company is one of the safest to play money with, asked us to.. get a dance performance." He said out in once.
"So what, we always have performances in the meet. Call some professionals, give them money and make them dance. Why are we here?" Raghav said getting up.
Kalpana stood and continued, "Yes, he's right Mr. Agnihotri.. call them as u always do. Now don't tell us, u want us to arrange them for u cause we make buildings.. we don't arrange for dancers."
Raghav nodded.
"Errr.. umm.."Mr. Agnihotri went blank, he didn't knew how to continue.
"Speak it up, Mr. Agnihotri. We don't have time. I have meetings lined up." Raghav shouted in the most formal way possible.
"Umm.. okay. The truth is, they don't want dancers this time. They want u both dancing this time.. together, on stage." Mr. Agnihotri said out with every bit of confidence left in him.
"Whattt?" Raghav's jaw dropped.
Kalpana fell into the chair, holding her forehead.
"How can u Mr. Agnihotri? Me and him?? NEVER." She spoke with disgust.
"What do u mean never? I decline this offer.. who r u to do that Ms. J.a.d.h.a.v.???!!!" He said with a piercing gaze on her.
"How dare u talk to me like that Mr. Singh!!??" Kalpi flashed anger in her eyes.
"It's Singhania! !! Not Singh, Ms. Ja!" He retorted back.
"Whatever! !! And it's Jadhav."
"Whatever! !!" Raghav mimicked her tone.
"Youuu! !!" Kalpana said pointing her finger at him.
Before Raghav could reply, Mr. Agnihotri cut them off.
"Keep quiet, please. Where are your manners?? Sit down. And Raghav, it's not an offer.. which u can reject, it's something which I am telling u, which u both have to do. Get it?"
"But why? Why do we do it? U didn't even ask us before confirming about this, Mr. Agnihotri!" Raghav said while sitting down.
Kalpana looked at both of them one by one, trying to read their expressions and also thinking about what should she say next.
"Yes Mr. Agnihotri, u could've at least tried informing us.. we could've stopped this nasty decision over there only. And why do they need us? That too dancing? Get some other business couple dance." Kalpana gave her point.
Raghav looked at Kalpana assuring her with a little nod.
Kalpana nodded back.
"But this is because, u r the biggest competitors in the field of business! ! People want to see u both together.. not any businessman or woman!! U both r bloody famous! ! Only u both compete for the businessman/businesswoman of the year title, in the the truest sense!! Only u both have the capability to set the stage on fire. .no one else!! U both will get us huge profits due to the TRPs!! And I guess, no one better than u both understand what profit and loss means and does to us. I would never be able to host this meet after this year if I fail to fulfil my promise to the finance partner. U know about the losses, I needn't mention. I am sorry about this decision though because I thought u both won't reject it as I am great friends to u both, as I think. Hope you'll respect my decision. " Mr. Agnihotri finishes at last while looking at both the expressionless statues in front of them with high expectations.
"Ok, we understand u Mr. Agnihotri. But how can I dance with him.. u know-" Kalpana mumbles softly only to be cut off by Raghav himself.
"What do u mean? U can't dance with me? Am I a monster Ms. Jadhav?" Raghav spat with anger.
"Uh.. no. Actually, I was wondering if you know how to dance.." Kalpana completed in a low voice.
"How dare u point at my dancing skills! !?? U don't know how good of a dancer I am, okay!! So u better wait and watch! I am way better than u at least! !" Raghav growled.
"Oh, is it?? Then let me show u my dancing skills too!!" Kalpana looked back at him with comparable intensity in her eyes.
"Let's see. A challenge?" Raghav brought his right hand forward.
Taking his hand for a shake she accepted his challenge.
And without even looking at Mr. Agnihotri for the last time.. they shot off the cabin.
Mr. Agnihotri sighed at their childlike behaviour and was somewhat happy that they both accepted his request, though in a different way all together.

Next update ~ Raghav and Kalpana arrive at their first dance practice.
