CHAPTER :2
RECAP :
"The dumb she thought of" and as she was done and about to shower him with tough blows'she was Stunned!They had in front on them the people they longed to see...FINALLY!!!! But...
But ...words?!? what were they at this moment...
Silence doomed and memories flashed. Viren and Jeevika never really had any memories, because they were never together physically...but through the deepness of love, they had the very fond memories of their lives.There hearts which were already filled to the brim with a mixture of love and regrets began to overflow and the feelings were about to be spilled to be spoiled by Jeevika's PA.
PA: "Ma'am are you alright? Sir you should pay a little attention while walking"
and reciprocated Viren's assistant
A: "Excuse Me are you telling him to be careful. Sorry but your boss needs to look ahead while walking and not into the files"
It Sounded as the two would enter a file soon but thankfully Virika intervened taking them back
The two had a lot to say yet no words. Was silence speaking?
Had they been willing to stand each other...it wold be understandable, but they wished to get each other out of sight...for reasons no one knew, not even them..for questions unanswered...
Viren took a step ahead to the conference hall and so did Jeevika ending up their hands on each other's.The touch melted their hearts...such longing had it all taken...
The cheerfulness in their hearts for a dream about to come true had sunken in some corner and grief filled up. They regretted not being together,they regretted not confessing, they regretted not accepting!
Jeevika closed her eyes, feeling the warmth while Viren's eyes filled up with pain.
He couldn't take it anyone and pulled back his hand with a jerk leaving a baffled Jeevika for a moment but she later realized that they were not meant to be together...NEVER could they be one!
Taking in a deep sigh Viren like a gentleman he was gave way to Jeevika to enter first and followed her with the PA's following them...
Through the long four hours of meeting their eyes did meet but they averted their gaze each very time trying to concentrate only on work! after all that's what they were there for.
Viren was to conclude the meeting with a presentation on which the partnership would rest on...but unfortunately something seeming went wrong and the drive refrained to work. This irritated him so much! Had he been working on THIS what didn't work on time for an entire year trying to get hold of the deal...but fate again!
He stood up from his seat asking for pardon from all the gentle people sitting there for the inconvenience and half and hour as a break to get things right for he wouldn't let this go off so easily!
Those suited people barely felt the difference between day and night..t them all was presentations, excel sheets, statistics and all boring stuff to a normal person...so inspite of already spent 4 hours they didn't mind resuming after a short while and granted him the time. Also Mr.Viren Vadhera was famous for his presentations and moreover his Words! They wouldn't have wanted to miss a chance to check him.
The halt set in and time began to tickle at a pace too fast for Viren...but for Jeevika it was merely strolling.She needed to run back home and spill the beans to Izzie...she was being suffocated with it all. Just to distract herself and calm a little down...she began to take a walk around the corridor when she heard Viren shouting at his PA. "How dare you leave the back-up plan back at office.Do you have any sense of responsibility..Yo know how important this deal is and if it doesn't works out now, it'll never work out." Viren was furious..at no one but himself
,for being careless.
He began to search for his laptop trying to get out the presentation from his drafts but Wolla! It wasn't working...his laptop which was perfectly fine a few hours ago was working dead! He anger ad tension were fuming up...when Jeevika who had been witnessing all this secretly, entered in and gave him her laptop to get things worked up. His first reply was a plain No! but as she insisted on it and reminded him of the already spent 15 minutes and his dream project...Viren couldn't just help but take it from her and get working.
Jeevika was happy that she could help and most importantly...that they shared words!
Viren's PA went out to get him some water because he had been boiled up all this while...
Viren who was busy scrolling through his mail...looking for presentation and compiling all the stuff...finally made it through! He breathed a sigh of relief and as he was about to return back her laptop..he found his Name! He had no plans to open it up...but a curious heart couldn't just stop...he had to check that folder because he couldn't go back home with another doubt and regret in his heart.
He with a shaky hand opened the folder and was taken aback by seeing his pictures which he never got clicked. Yes! Jeevika had secretly clicked his moves and smiles and there was a morphed picture...two pictures of Jeevika and him combined into one and the caption read..."LOVE IS NOT ABOUT TWO BODIES BEING TOGETHER BUT IT IS ABOUT THE SOULS BEING TOGETHER...FOREVER!"
This was enough for him how much Jeevika loved him...It made his heart ache...he never thought that Jeevika loved him so dearly.He never knew she still remembered him...she still still missed him. How could he be oblivious of it all.He spilled a tear and was in a heartbroken condition...questioning himself and finding no answers when a delegate came in saying "Mr.Vadhera..are you done its already 35 minutes.Everyone is waiting" and snapped him about of his trauma. It didn't tale more than 2 minutes for people to flow back in and he on seeing Jeevika entering in, she couldn't help but stare at her with guilt in his eyes. She was walking upto him to ask if her laptop helped her, but he was busy staring...and she could sense something wrong when she realised and froze for a moment of what all her laptop contained.She rushed towards him and had a look at the screen. She was dumbstruck...how could she forget about that and hand over him the laptop..All was out now. Viren who himself was in no condition to proceed further was questioned again..."Mr.Vadhera,we hope u got the presentation...or else" and he was about to complete when Viren stood up faking a smile and said "Gentlemen, I'm glad to tell you that..i found the presentation and its working fine now.We shall be able to conclude this meeting today" "Please talk your seats everyone while i demonstrate you all through it"directing Jeevika towards her seat courteously and smiling at her gesturing her that he shall return her laptop after the presentation. Jeevika went to her seat but was all lost now...while Viren seemed to have some sudden plan in his mind. He begen the presentation taking everyone by surprise for it was too good for a man of his age and experience. He ended with a huge round of applause in his honor .Jeevika too was among the bunch...though she was lost in between the presentation for a while...she did listen to it well.She never was careless with work...whatever might come.
The deal was cracked! Something which had almost gone down the drain was a success now
The deal was cracked! Something which had almost gone down the drain was a success now.
Yet another hour went by getting done with formalities and stuff and FINALLY the day came to an End!
BUT BUT BUTTT...
Not for Viren and Jeevika...the day had something more to it...
To Be Continued...
