Another Day of hustle bustle started in Delhi , The sun just peaked in and the busy life of people got initiated , With loud noise of horns on the roads , Thousand's of car's running at high speed in order to reach at their destinations , People running before the bus in order to jump in ,And numerous of events were taking place simultaneously .
Khushi opened the door of her office in a hurry .
"Good Morning everyone .." she said with a cheezy smile to which she got many greetings in return .She turned around to greet other's "Good morning .." she greeted again to a guy standing in front of her , Dressed in a black suit .
"Good morning " he replied without any expression on his face while doing some work in file's .
"Khadoos kahin ka .." she said under her breath .
"I heard that .." said that guy ..
"Heard what ..?? I didn't said anything ..." she pretended to find some paper's from the bunch of file's kept on her desk ..
"Better then ..." and he left .He , Arnav Singh Raizada who worked on table adjacent to her's .
It was almost revolting for Arnav to share same roof , Share same projects and Obviously Share same feeling -Hatred for each other .
Teasing him was her favorite time pass ,Whenever she felt bored or so , all she used to do was get him into unwonted quarrels . May be these quarrels were bringing them close .
"Why is she like that .. Crazy ... " he said angrily ..Each Day this was the story , They would get engaged in unwanted quarrels and spoil their mood's .Its now 3 weeks since she started working here with him .
And Another Day ended like that only with some important meetings, cute pointless fight's and yes With a Hot discussed topic -A Couple's party ...
At Parking
"Khushi aren't you excited for tomorrow's party .?? " Asked Lavanya , Khushi's office mate .
"No ! I'm not interested .." she said witha mouth full of tiredness ..
"C'mon it's your first party here in Delhi ..!! If you say i'll find a partner for you ... What say ..???" Lavanya pleased .
"What ??? Partner ??? In that case I'm not going and That's it ..! " khushi blurted .
"Oh ! C'mon at least come there for few minutes .." lavanya pleased again .
"Nahi matlab nahi .. You think about your partner ...By the way who's your's " Khushi asked her teasing ,Winks .
"Umm.. I don't if he agrees for the party or not once i'll get to know about it i'll tell you .." she said with a slight blush on her cheeks .
"Okay ... See you tomorrow at office then .." And they bid off ..
The whole way to home actually proved tough for khushi ,Whole time she kept thinking about the Party and that too A couple's party which was organized by the management .
She opened the door of her apartment . But before going in she glared at the adjacent apartment , "Arnav Singh Raizada , Rz -24,F Royal society " was written on the name plate .
" Mr.Stone Heart Raizada .." she said .

He stood on terrace holding a hot Cup of coffee .Enjoying Cool night flakes blowing his hairs.
Under the moonlight , Everything appeared magical , out of the world , completely different to him . He was in no mood to fight , Diving deep into his thought's was all he wanted to do in that moment . Usually Terrace is the one of those places where a person get's philosophical , Thinks about the beauty of nature and beauty of the human .
The Dark tree's were swallowing the little traces of light's suspended in the sky .
" Beautiful ..." he said .According to him he was watching the most beautiful sight on earth , pure like an emerald , pure like a freshly unleashed pearl , But his thought's were proved wrong when he accidently peeped into adjacent terrace ..
"Wow ..." these words escaped from his opened mouth .
She was standing there , dressed in white , Switching the Bulb on , Which scattered a dim golden light all over .
"She was the one " he partially realized .
While she left him totally mesmerized .
When time elapsed ,
He cannot feel , nor he knew ,
He was so lost in the beauty standing beside .
She saw him watching her , constantly .."Did she wore some thing wrong , Or her kurti was upside down ..?? " She was confused . She saw his relaxed face , totally plain without any line's of tension for the first time . He had a heart , golden one , with numerous faces , and one of them she just saw now .
He still stood there , motionless .
"Is everything alright .." he broke out .
"No it was not !!! " he felt embarrassed . He was watching this lady from past few minutes ,Taking minute measurement's of her beautiful soul ..
Mad , These things are mad and useless , he shrugged and went inside .
While khushi still stood there ,Still surprised by this sudden scene .
A simple gazing session when turned intense for these two heart's , they didn't know .
Or may be Like said "Terrace is the place where people often turn philosophical "was true .. Was he turned into one ."Philosophical " .."Love types ..??" ...
Still contradictory for him to leave his sweet hard coated cover .
While lying in bed, Khushi and Arnav separately reflect on what they feel and the words they can't seem to speak aloud about this miniature version of love storm they felt .
