CHAPTER 9
Its 8 in the morning...veer reaches the office and everyone wishes him...Ananya was not there...kahan hai ye ladki...secretary ye hai or wait muje karna padta hai...cabin bhi arrange nahi kia hoga isne...she is just good for nothing...!!!
While thinking he enters ho his work space n saw the things arranged well...he observed it fully n found everything in its proper place...but something got his attention.
Arre ye vase...isme fresh flowers kyu nahi hain aaj...!! While thinking he dialed the intercom n it buzzed on her desk outside n she came there in the cabin.
He wanted to know if she found something presentable or not after all it's been three days when they discussed about the designs and he was willing to know if there is any progress.
Anaya entered... again with those stern expressions...swallowed puffy eyes...somehow it irked him somewhere. He wanted to ask her the reason but then their previous encounter was not much good that he could muster the courage to say anything.
Ananya...before he could say...plz call me Ms. Saxena...she said maintaining expressionless demeanor. He was not shocked but still not used to it...he was uncomfortable...!!
What the hell is going on in your pea size brain??? What you think of yourself...!!! He mind screamed inside...he so wanted to shout at that time but rationality took over him n he couldn't.
Ohh...so Ms. Saxena...sarcasm dripping off his voice...atleast somewhere he had to show that...he didn't know why but he again felt an urge to talk to her...to fight with her...but that all cool demeanor didn't allow him...!!
Yes...she broke his trance...yeah... so tell me when are we getting the good designs did u find any...??
Sir actually...she stopped...!
What?? He asked again.
Yes I have something..!! She answered confidently
Then show me...his voice was demanding...not so satisfied.
Now she was stuck...her stone like expressions broke and panic was all that could be seen and it didn't go unnoticed by him.
What happened now...??? Show me the designs...I hope they are good enough...!!!
She held out a black folder unnamed but finely arranged...he grabbed it opened there were some designs of different ornaments...beautiful so catchy and mind-blowing they were his expressions changed bit by bit eyeing each single designs encrypted beautifully clean...!!
Ananya's breaths were stuck in her throat...her eyes were fixed on him...observing every expression, every feature he had on his face...his changing expressions were giving her a sort of relief...it was visible...he was satisfied...so was she...!!!
She saw him so many times before...every time he had a stern face...hard lined and expressionless...his eyes were expressive but every time she tried to find some emotions...she found nothing but emptiness...unshed tears...that glitter...that charm was missing...buried deep inside...!!!!
But today it was different when she eyed him...thanx to her stars he was lost in the beauty of those sketches observing every single one with so much concentration...she saw him being dreamy...a small smile playing on his lips...a pleasing one...ohhh she could die to see that once more...!!
Bas itne hi??? He pouted which made him look cute...even more...!!
She tried to control but chuckled at his expressions.
What??? He returned to that angry young man self...huhhh...why you laughing??
Nothing...she suppressed a laugh...these are the samples I will show you some more if u liked them...!! She became all business types herself...those hard lines were back on that beautiful face.
Yes I would like to see more of them as soon as possible...!! He was desperate for a reason unknown to her...she was witnessing this side of him first time.
Yeah...!! She finally breathed out a sigh which was held from a long time...give me a couple of days and I will show you some more.
Ok...but will you tell me who drew these sketches???
She knew it would come to her way...umm...vo sir...aapko designes mil jayenge bas aur vese bhi copyright to company ka hoga na then no need to bother...!!! N she sighed...because she lied.
He was amused with her reaction...huhhh??/ what??? What did you just say??? Hmmm ok fine I won't ask...!!! He kept his thoughts at a bay.
She was about to go when he spoke...ummm...Anaanya..didn't you bring the fresh flowers today...see these roses are dry...he pointed towards the big wooden vase kept on the table.
Ohhh I forgotsaying she picked up the intercom and called the peon inside...he bring some orchids and placed them into the vase replacing those dry roses.
It was Ananya wo made him habitual of those flower aromas in the cabin...she used to bring the flowers everyday...sometimes roses n orchids too...and now he was a bit annoyed seeing this sudden change ...!!
before he could say anything she took her leave from there.
~~~~
Ananaya...are you mad?? You were laterally checking him out??? How could u??? her mind scolded her while her heart craved to see that smiling face once more she wanted to make him smile at any cost...she wanted to see those sparks in his eyes...!! Her determinations were vanished in the thin air.
She was a girl who could do anything to make someone happy then why not veer...she didn't know the story behind this project but every time she saw him worried when they talked about this and now he was satisfied...pleased and she saw the glitters in his eyes...but somewhere deep down the pain was still there...!!
.blabbering to her self she was walking in a daze ...tu ne kah to diya designs do din me de degi but kahan se layegi designes...thode bhot nahi bhot sare designes...par veer bhi to kitna pareshan hai...uske liye I have to do...and after all it's a part of my job mai kuch alag se thodi na kar rhi hu...!!! she consoled her flowing emotions.
And bang ...!!!! She dashed to someone and this time it was not her cranky boss who every time chose to hold her and make her feel erratic ...then who??
She saw up with an annoying face...again u dashed to me only??? Apko or aapke dost ko koi or nahi milta kya???
Or tum ne kasam kha rakhi hai har wakt apne aap me khoi hui hi chalogi...he chuckled.
Dhruv...!!!! She hit him playfully.
Pari came running to them...dhruv chachu veer chachu kahan hain?? She asked him innocently and then she saw ananaya and something clicked her mind.
Aap vahi ho na Ice-crream wali chachu ki friend??
Friend...Ananya twitched her lips...yup mai hi hoon or aap pari ho if I am not wrong...!!
I am so sorry...muje maaf kar dijiye na please uss din maine aapko itna ganda bola...i am really very sorry...she held her ears n said it all in one go..!!
Dhruv was shocked...ananaya tum pari ko janti ho? Kab mili isse????
Veer came behind out of his cabin but chose to keep mum eyeing them from a far away...he wanted to see if ananaya is angry for pari's bad behavior or something else.
She knelt down in front of her and gave a pack on her cheek...apologies accepted...and both smiled wide...!!
Agar pari se nahi to aakhir kyu naraz hai ye...he thoughts when pari came rushing to him and leaped on him...he held her up.
Ananya didi I am inviting you on my birthday party...please come na...pari said maintaining her most cute expression...please u have to come...
Or else pari will be thinking that you are still angry with her.
Dhruv completed and winked at pari...both chuckled.
What...??? Veer and anayna both asked together.
And all of them shared a good laughing session,
But how will I...she was confused.
You will be granted a half day leave...this time veer spoke.
She made a face...huhhh...!!
Dhruv got busy with pari... and veer said slowly..See maine tamiz sikhai hai usse...she is a good girl.
She is a good girl but you are not good...!! She chipped
Ohhh really m I that bad ??? He frowned.
Not exactly...but not so good...!!
Huhhh...toh ms. Saxena ab aapke uss lecture ka kya jo aapne muje uss din car me dia tha...???
Hmmm u needed that...!!
No I don't...!! He spoke up a bit loud.
U does...!! She almost shouted.
Chachu...ananaya didi...ap dono fir se lad rhe ho...!! Pari laughed.
Pariii...!!! Veer was annoyed...these two ladies were impossible to handle.
Dhruv chachu...aapko pta hai ye dono hmesha ladte hain...uss din bhi ice-cream shop me lad rhe the...!!
Kyu?? Dhruv asked stifling a chuckle.
Anaya didi ne chachu ki shirt kharab kar di thi na...!! She laughed some more.
Hahahahahaha both of them burst out laughing and Anaya and veer eyed them as if will eat them row...!!!
Toh aap aaogi na Ananya di...pari asked her again...just to confirm...she again packed on her cheek and nodded in affirmative.
~~~~~~~~~
Evening crept in...All the people got to go there home...ananya too made her way out of the office bidding a formal bye to everyone except him...which did not go unnoticed by him..!!
He was still there in the cabin sitting there thinking random things...why is she so angry...I thought Pari is a reason but no they both were fine with each other...then what's there bothering her so much...and...how can I forget that storeroom scenario...what was she saying??? Ohh ya that I don't let her go away...well yes rok ke toh rakha hai...but that's a legal formality jo sabko karni hoti h na what's wrong in that...huhhh ...!!!! He made a face and stood up to go...he came out and his eyes stuck to something.
It was a sketch book kept on her desk...maybe she forgot to take it with her..First he thought to see it once then remembered that we should not sneak in to other's personal things' so he rejected the thought..I will give it back to her and saying this he kept the book with his own belongings.
~~~~
Singhania mansion...
Veer entered the door step n pari came running to him...chachu aap aa gye...fir se late..aapne promise kia than a that u will come on time...by now she was up in his armrs...haan but pariii..kaam to kitna sara hota hai na vo sab finish karna hota hai na akele chachu ko...!!
Akele kyun???? Aapki vo friend hai na Ananya didi...unse kah dena she will help you...bhot sweet hain vo...mujse naraz bhi nahi thi...!! she chuckled and he made a face.
Ohhho pariii abhi bas... Let me freshen up then we will play something okay...!!
Okay chachu...!!
He retired to his room.
~~~~~
He kept his laptop bag and that sketch on the study table and once again an urge to see the sketch book came rushing to him...no no veer u shouldn't...he said to himself like a mother says to her child...!!! Thinking this he went to freshen up a bit.
~~~
After the dinner he chose to spend some time with his dearest...laptop...!! He picked it up and opened...the first thing caught his eyes was a beautiful snap of Jahanvi he took when he brought a western gown for her...and as usual she looked beautiful...!!
After spending almost an hour staring at the pic and remembering some beautiful moments of them he chose to sleep as his fatigued mind was not ready to support him anymore...!!
She kept her head on his shoulder while he was driving the car...he gripped her firmly and pecked on her forehead..
Veer there is good news for you?? She said smiling sheepishly.
Huhh what??? He cocked his eyebrow.
We are going to be parents...I am pregnant...!! She giggled happily.
Saying that he was happy was an understatement... his emotions were beyond happiness.
He hugged her tightly leaving the staring wheel and when they broke the hug...
Veeerrr...she screamed and his vision blurred.
PS: this time I have tried to write a bit long...plz ignore the mistakes...!! 😊
