Chapter 5
Sahir was working in his office as usual. He looked up only to find arzoo missing from her seat. Well she has not been present there from past half an hour but only now he was starting to get worried. She never spent so much time talking on her phone specially in office hours. He stood up and went to find his new found friend.
As he came out of saiyaara he breathed a sigh of relief as he saw her sitting on a bench outside. He went and sat next to her but she was too lost to notice him just then.
"suno" he said trying to get her attention.
Arzoo whipped her head in his direction surprised to hear his voice. Then she stood up quickly.
"w..wo hum aa he rahe the bas. Sorry hum office hours meh aise bahar aake beth gaye" she said worried that sahir would again get angry on her. Though they were friends now she was well aware of sahir's anger issues aand wouldn't want to be the one towards whom this anger is directed.
As she moved forward to go he grasped her hand. She looked back at him questioningly and he gestured her too sit with him. She nodded and sat back.
"ji" she asked curious
"wo kya hua kuch pareshan lag rhi ho" he said looking at her.
"nahi wo aise bas" she said looking away.
"mujhe nai bataogi dost haina hum toh?" he asked innocently
Arzoo smiled seeing his expressions. Though there friendship was not old enough to share their problems with each other she still trusted him enough to tell her problems. She nodded.
"humaari ammi ka phone aaya tha. Unhone bataya ki makan maalik rent ke paise maang rahe hain. Par abhi tak toh humari salary bhi nahi aayi hai. Samajh ni aa raha kya karey" she said worried.
"bas itni si baat mujhse advance lelo" he said as a matter of fact.
"par abhi tak toh humne kuch kaam bhi nahi kiya as such abhi se kaise" she asked.
"kabtak dene hai paise?" he asked
"parso" she stated.
"theekay toh parso tak mujhe do designs dedo bridal aatire's or mujhse advance lelo" he said
Arzoo instantly brightened up.
"arey haa good idea, thanku" she was about to hug him but stopped right in time.
His smile dimmed a little as this got a little awkward. While she hastily got up.
"m..meh design's banana start krdeti hu" she stuttered.
He nodded while she left from there.
LATER SAHIR AT HIS HOME
"kya hua sahir aaj bhaut khush lag rahe ho" sahir's ammi asked curiously
"han aami, aap janti hai ek nai intern aayi hai saiyaara meh arzoo aur mene usse ab company ka junior designer bana diya hai, aur wo itni zyada talented hai I am sure she'll make it big in the fashion world. Aur wo itna bolti hai ki meh kya batau kisi or ki sunti he nahi" sahir kept talking about arzoo quiet animatedly while alvira observed him keenly.
She had never seen him so excited about something or someone. You know they say a person's smile is the most beautiful when he is talking about his passion and alvira had never seen sahir smile so openly. She wondered who is this girl who had managed to bring out so much good in sahir???
