Chapter 11
Excel
Gunjan fumbled with her books as she walked towards the canteen along with dia.
"Don't worry gunjan, nobody saw u all drunk yesterday"
"dia can u please stop repeating that!" gunjan hissed.
"And can u pls stop being so nervous" dia shot back.
"I am trying" gunjan gulped.
"well try harder, if u will be like that then someone will surely come up and particularly ask u the reason for ur odd behaviour"
"Hey Gun!" someone called, both of them turned.
Dia smiled and nudged gunjan teasingly as armaan made his way towards them.
"How Are you?" he asked his gaze checking her out.
"Much better than last night" gunjan replied.
"u look…different today" he smiled.
"yeah well gunjan is a very simple girl" dia smiled back.
"Yeah ermm gunjan, I was wondering if we could-"
"Chashmish" another voice interrupted them "Dia!" samrat huffed as he reached them.
"kya hua samrat?" gunjan asked concerned.
"we r so dead" he spoke while taking deep breaths, he pulled out a mobile from his pocket "dia su has been calling u since long, and the messages are not very sweet" samrat flinched and passed dia's mobile to her.
"oh crap!" dia mumbled "Annie!" she shrieked and headed off to knw wat had happened exactly.
"Chashmish?" armaan mused.
"yeah, I gave her a nick" samrat smiled and wrapped his arm around gunjan's waist pulling her closer.
"you were saying something?" gunjan asked burning at samrat's touch, her mind buzzing at his odd behaviour.
"nothing important" armaan replied "see u at the selections" he smiled at samrat.
"sure" samrat replied.
Armaan left and gunjan squirmed hoping that samrat would notice her discomfort, he didn't "samrat!" she squeaked.
Samrat removed his hand "problem solved" he grinned.
"what problem?" gunjan asked confused.
"well u don't want to go out on a date with him right?" samrat asked.
"yeah" gunjan replied still confused.
"So problem solved he wont ask u out" samrat winked and started walking.
Gunjan furrowed her brows and matched up to samrat's pace.
"what do u mean?" she asked.
"chashmish tum kitni bholi ho" samrat murmured "he thinks we are together, that means you are taken, so definitely he wont ask u out on a date as that's bad for his rep"
Gunjan stopped in her tracks, samrat on noticing this turned.
"what?" he asked, still feeling a little confused.
Gunjan pursed her lips as her cheeks went red in anger, she raised her books to hit him as she stepped forward.
"Ohh freak!" samrat yelped and ran with gunjan following behind.
"chashmish I did it for you!" samrat yelled.
"How can you lie abt us!" she shot back thru gritted teeth trying to catch him.
Samrat looked around searching for a safe place, smiling he made a run to the library, gunjan followed behind.
"samrat!" she called.
"Silence please!" A stern voice followed. Gunjan mentally hit herself as she realized she was in the library.
Her face flushed in embarrassment as every gaze was on her, she looked up and spotted samrat sitting lazily on a chair, he was playing with a paper weight, but his intense gaze was fixed on her.
Gunjan stomped her foot and turned away.
Passing through the corridors she realized she was alone, taking a deep breath she turned searching for samrat, he was nowhere in sight.
'Might be in the canteen' gunjan thought and stepped back, rushing towards the canteen.
On her way she was about to bang into someone but a pair of strong arms held her, gunjan stepped back "sorry" she mumbled staring at the pair of grey eyes.
"No probs" RV smirked.
Gunjan looked around he wasn't with his minions today.
"So Gun howz excel?" RV asked.
'he remembers my name' gunjan thought.
"Its good, excuse me m in a hurry" she walked past him, her heart beating million times faster.
Suhani and Nupur
"Nupur, I guess u should go home and pack" suhani suggested.
Nupur sighed as she closed the file for the third time.She had been reading it again and again, to know the details of the project.
"Okay, don't forget Dia and Gunjan need a nice little scolding from us, I wont be leaving else"
Suhani chuckled "yup I remember, before leaving inform sadu"
"sure" nupur smiled and picked her bag.
Smiling she knocked on his cabin's door, there was a certain excitement running through her, to see him, talk to him, why did it feel so different, she didnt know, she knocked again not getting a reply, slowly she opened the door, only to find the cabin empty, disappointed she turned back.
Searching through the workplace, she ended up infront of her cabin, she opened the door.
"su"
"u didn't leave yet?" suhani asked surprised.
"I cant find him" nupur shrugged.
"Hang on" suhani connected her phone to the receptionist, after a short convo she turned to nupur. "he's not in office, u go I will tell him when he returns"
"Okay thanks" nupur replied her mind buzzing with guesses as to where he might be.
She shook her head and entered the elevator. 'why m I so bothered?' she thought.
Taking an auto she reached home.
The hall was squeaky clean unlike how they had left it.
"Nice maid" nupur smiled as she entered her room.
Smiling she started packing, Irritation peaked within her, as she couldn't select clothes among the huge bundle.
By God!1 din ki trip ke liye itna confusion! She thought. Whom are you kidding? Its not the one day trip it's the trip with mayank thts bothering u! she discarded the deep down feeling away and finally she settled with 2 anarkali suits, and continued packing.
Samrat's POV
I stared as Gunjan entered the library all riled up by my previous actions, she didn't even realize that she was in the library as she yelled my name.
A look of surprise crossed her face, as she calmed down, flushed in embaressment she looked down and then her eyes skimmed the library..in search of me.
Our eyes met and the next second she was gone.
A certain uneasiness settled in me, recalling her voice, at the party….her touch, the feel of her bare skin when I had unintentionally touched her, when i had revealed my past to her, how and why?
"Hey sam" a familiar voice greeted me i turned to spot one of my best school friend.
"hey Ragz watsup?"
she smiled and took a seat next to me, sprawling her books on the table clumsily.
"wat r u reading these days?" I asked though I was least interested.
"Human behaviour as always" she replied.
"hmm any luck with guys?" I asked.
Ragz would usually be depressed with no guy being interested in her, I helped her get a date, wat I did was easy, took her out on a date and told everyone the truth, that she was amazing.
"nope after ur help I got many guys asking me out, and I went out with a few, but I think, I don't need them anymore"
"wat?"
"yeah, guys are jerks"
"hey!"
"I mean some guys are jerks" she smiled
"better" I smiled feeling comfortable at once,ragz was one of the best person I had ever met, a very genuine girl, and wud say the only girl not interested in me in school, which frankly helped me with girl problems, I wud seek her advice whenever needed some.
"wat about u? dating as usual?"
"nah, college has just started I think it excites me enuf that I don't need to date anyone right now"
"yeah Dating= Exciting for Samrat Shergill" ragz shook her head.
"well what else is it supposed to be?" I asked.
"Love? Have you ever heard of that, its something u r supposed to feel, when u get ur perfect match"
I chuckled at her description.
"as always tell me if I bore you" she began with a spark in her eyes.
"u never do" I cut her off, ragz rolled her eyes.
"to be honest, it's a very beautiful feeling, its not only a guy I seek in my life, my perfect match, I seek for love from everywhere, friends, family u knw wat I mean"
"No I Don't" I winked, that was the way we would interact at times, I would say the exact opposite as to what I felt, It helped to avoid sounding like a sap.
"Its that u feel complete, when u get ur love, it makes u feel that yes life is worth living-"
"Tell me one thing" I interrupted her "Suppose I tell my biggest secret to a friend someone I have met only a few days back…and u knw it just happened, wat is it? Why did I do that?"
"thts confusing tell me clearly, u never told this secret to anyone before?" ragz asked.
"It didn't actually happen, m just giving u an example"
"whom are you kidding sam? Me?" I shook my head the girl was too smart.
"something I have never told anyone before, not even my best friends"
"And tht friend is a girl?" she asked.
"Yup"
"Okay time for love test" she grinned.
"Wat!?" I gaped "Is that wat u have? man out of all the people I expected u to give me some right answers"
"well I will" ragz smiled
"First question: Was it a mere confession? Or an inner feeling to share your pain?"
"The second one" I looked away, not wanting to get the surprised look ragz would throw at me.
"Second: Do u have any non-friendly feelings towards her?"
"sometimes" I admitted
"Third: What happened when u met her first time?"
"Nothin"
"Nothing?"
"I just checked her out"
"And?"
"And she was different"
"In what way?"
"ermm…Indian"
"Duh!"
"No really… Indian…like pure Indian, simple..and innocent yeah"
"Okay fourth : Are you very protective of her….ermm sometimes possessive?"
"Actually yeah"
"Cool Fifth: Do u touch her a lot?"
"wat do u mean?"
Ragz rolled her eyes "tell me do u?"
"well thts a stupid question"
"no idiot that's the most important question!!"
"how?" I rolled my eyes at her.
"have u heard of UST?"
I gaped "You are mad! M going Bye!"
I hurried out, not wanting to spend another second in the library. I didn't think of her that way..even If I did touch her, that was never the reason Aghhh Ragz has messed up my brain, I never Ever think of gunjan in that way!!! But how wud it be? If I did kiss her..if I did…Shut up stupid brain!
That was the inner battle going through his mind as he sprinted through the corridors in search of gunjan
Mayank's POV
I connected to My assistant's cabin pretty annoyed.
"Yes sir" suhaani replied.
"Suhaani send in Nupur"
"sir she left"
"left?" I asked irritated.
"Yes sir, she"
"In my cabin now" I cut her off irritated as I banged the phone.
Why had she left early? And she didn't even inform me abt it!!Highly irresponsible!
Suhani entered the cabin looking worried.
"How can she leave? Whose permission did she take?" mayank asked coldly.
"Sir, she was searching for u, but u weren't in office that's why"
"-so couldn't she wait!? And why did she leave? Isn't there work to do?" mayank half-screamed at suhaani.
"Sir you told her to be ready"
"What?" mayank asked.
"Yes sir, for the meeting in pune with Stylon n CO owners"
"Oh" Mayank was dazed, how on earth did he forget about his meeting this never happened before.
Suhani calmed much more relaxed.
"I forgot" mayank admitted "anyways check up with the arrangements"
"Everything is ready sir" Suhani smiled.
"Good" mayank said "you may leave"
Suhani exited the cabin, mayank paced across his office, what was happening to him? why couldn't he remember his schedules, meets? and why the hell was nupur not getting out of his mind…!!why did he like to blame her for small things? No think straight, u have always been like that, with everyone, then why is it affecting me when I behave the same with nupur?
Mayank shook his head and called nupur's number.
"Hello" she answered. "Nupur bhushan speaking"
"Nupur, ur boss here" mayank spoke.
"Yes Sir" nupur squeaked.
"This is to inform u tht I'll come to ur place at 6:00-"
"why sir?" nupur interrupted
"-to pick u up" mayank answered irritated tht she had interrupted him "from there we will leave for pune, keep the files ready, and backup project too"
"how will we be going?" nupur asked and mayank's fury broke at her questions.
"By Car! Ofcoz!" he replied in a high-pitched tone.
"Sorry sir" nupur mumbled.
"Be ready, no mistakes!" he warned and ended the call.
Samrat's POV
I skidded through the corridors in search of Gunjan, but she was nowhere to be found, I reached the basketball practice court, sameer and armaan were practicing, while Dia, benji and uday cheered them, where was Gunjan? I thought.
"Hey Sam" a very familiar voice greeted me.
"RV" I turned to face him.
"so u will be trying out for the selections?" he asked in a friendly tone..
"look lets come to the point, what do u want?"
RV shook his head, eyeing me "Things change sam" he murmured as he placed his hand on my shoulder and started walking along. "you have got to understand that, its not important for us to be enemies forever, we were rivals for sure….but we can end it"
"Look am not interested in ending it, and abt tht shitty rivalry we share" samrat stared at him in the eye "I don't give it a damn"
"Silly sam" RV mocked "I am not trying for the selections" samrat rolled his eyes, why was Rv so hell bent about discussing the selections?
"Basketball is an old game now, not that interesting"
"Yeah?" samrat asked "what's interesting?Bike racing? Dating girls and ditching them when u get what u want? Or u went for drugs?"
RV creased his eyebrows "Alright wats with u? you worried about something?"
Samrat was thrown off by RV's question, how on earth did he know?n why did he sound concerned?
"None of your business" samrat muttered walking away.
"Well maybe I can help, if u r searching for princess, I mean Gun"
Samrat stopped and turned back hurling at him "stay away from her" he muttered coldly.
"relax dude!" RV tilted his head "I guess u need to cool down, as I said things change"
Samrat backed off "so thts wat u r trying here" he smiled "u r trying to change my notions about u, well hard luck, even if u beg on ur fours, I wont believe u" samrat spat.
"Watch out samrat, m trying to end a rivalry here, and u r just destroying everything, recreating it"
"Didn't u hear me? I said I don't care!" samrat yelled frustrated.
RV shook his head and met samrat's gaze again "watch out sam, ur anger is doing u no good"
Samrat shook his head totally not interested in RV's crap "where is she?"
RV sighed "I saw her heading to the canteen a lil while back"
Samrat broke into a run heading towards the canteen.
"Silly sam" RV smirked as he stared his gaze intense on Dia and then his thoughts stopped at gunjan, samrat was being so possessive for the girl.
A sudden thought occurred to him "what if?" he mumbled as a smirk made it to his face.
Gunjan's POV
I sat at the canteen bench shuffling through my notes, though I couldn't concentrate on them at all. I looked around to find a few people staring at me.
Just then samrat took the seat opposite to me, I smiled in relief but then remembered about his lie and turned away.
"U r still angry!?" samrat asked surprised.
"well yes" I replied not meeting his gaze, I knew I wud melt then.
"ohh cmon I was just helping" he pleaded.
"no u r making my life complicated" I murmured.
"what?"
"nothing" I replied.
"u did say something" samrat spoke curiously.
"I didn't" I shot back ruffling through the pages.
Samrat placed his hand on the book avoiding me from reading.
I looked up having no option. "I have something very important to talk about" he spoke.
"what?" I asked nervous.
"Its about…Its about." He whispered as he closed in, my hands trembled as his breath touched my face, I felt like i was in a furnace as my palms started sweating.
God! He had so much affect on me!
"about?" I asked my voice husky.
"Its about Dia and Benji" he whispered, I breathed out a sigh of relief.
Samrat shifted back to his place, his gaze intense on gunjan, his body tingling at the closeness he shared with her.
"well" I replied "u r right, I think benji likes Dia"
"Sshhh lets not talk abt this here, u knw how rumours are"
"Okay then when do we talk abt this?" I asked.
"Tonight I will call u" samrat smirked.
5:00 PM
Gunjan stood trembling her gaze fixed on the floor, while dia hid herself behind gunjan.
"Dia!" Suhaani yelled, dia jumped as she looked up nervous.
"Its not my fault" she mumbled.
"Well whose fault is it then?" Nupur glared.
"Mine" Gunjan mumbled her gaze fixed on the floor as tears filled her eyes.
"No Its Mine" samrat spoke innocently.
"Samrat u shut up" Suhani glared her arms crossed.
"Sorry Su" he pouted, his eyes innocent.
"Stop that!" suhani glared but a smile made it to her face.
Samrat smiled wider as Nupur giggled.
Gunjan and Dia looked up confused.
"God!" Suhani grinned and hi-fied nupur.
"Look at their faces!" Nupur laughed.
Gunjan and Dia gaped.
"You two" suhani began "just remember tht if anything similar happens again, we wont screw u for sure, just don't do crazy stuff n get urself screwed up!" suhani smiled.
"wat?" gunjan asked.
"yeah" suhani grinned "u two are forgiven, am glad samrat was with u guys, otherwise" suhani felt a cold shiver at the thought.
"there's no other option, I will always be with them" samrat smiled
"Di!" gunjan sobbed "that was not funny" she sobbed wiping her tears.
"Aww!!" nupur smiled as she hugged gunjan.
Samrat stared at gunjan surprised.
"I thought u r really angy, and I had let you down, di I hated it, am really sorry" gunjan went on mumbling as nupur patted gunjan's back.
"Arrey baba, main to bhool hi gaye ki tu mazaak bhi nahin samajhti"
"Di!" gunjan groaned.
Nupur broke the hug and wiped gunjan's tears.
"Achha ab sun main ja rahi hoon pune, Boss ke saath meeting attend karne"
"Kab?" gunjan asked her voice thick.
"Abhi ek ghante main"
"Kya?" gunjan asked shocked.
"Haan tum apna dhyan rakhna theek hai?"
"Woh tum mujhpe chhod do" samrat interrupted "Samrat shergill ka yeh aapse waada hai ki woh Miss Chashmish ko har pal, har waqt khush rakhega!"
"Chashmish?" nupur asked amused.
Gunjan rolled her eyes "yeh samrat hai na, pata nahin mujhey chashmish bulata hai"
Nupur smiled glad that gunjan had such good friends.
"Chalo ab mujhey iski koi chinta nahin"
"Par mujhey hai" suhani interrupted "teri chinta" she answered the questioning looks.
"Dekh sadu ko tu ache se jaanti hai, tune sab files to check kar li na?" suhani asked together the two headed in nupur's room.
"God!" Dia sighed in relief as she flopped on the sofa "I have never been so scared before!"
"Okay girls I g2g" Samrat checked his watch. He signed gunjan tht he would call her later and left.
