Earlier:
Jus as she is ready to leave, the phone rings, stopping her in her tracks... and she looks back a lil surprised.. wondering who would have called...
Continued:
She walks over and picks the phone and listens and despite herself... smiles as she answers ... "Ji.."..
"Main shaam flight se waapas aa raha hoon.... and shaam ko business delegates ki party hai, so just be ready... alright then..."
"Ji.."
*Click* and the line goes dead...
Smiling , she replaces the receiver and heads out of the room...
At the Crossword book store...
Wandering around in the Poetry section, she finds the book she needs and just as she is about to leave, she notices some of her own favourite books ... and stops to take look, when she hears a familiar voice call out her name and turns around to see Anupam...
"Gauri... accha.. to tumhe bhi hai kitabon ka shauk.... chalo accha hua... ab main tumse kitabon ki baatein tho kar sakta hoon...." smiling...
Gauri smiling.. "Ji.. wo, aise hi, kuch kitaben...." , when Anupam notices , the book in her hand... "Arre tum bhi inki fan... thatz nice..."
before she can answer, anupam's cell , which rings interrupts the conversation and Anupam excuses himself, nodding at her when she indicates , she is heading towards the billing... and leaves the book she picked for herself there at the shelf, taking only one back with her...
As she gets the book billed,she requests for a gift wrap.. which Anupam notices, and smiles to himself... not uttering a word and casually asks , why she left the other books back at the counter...
"Ji... wo, baad mein le loongi... aaj sirf ek kitaab leni thi..."
"Accha ..Gauri , phir ghar pe milte hain.... mujhe thoda kaam hai...", excuses himself, and getting his books billed , leaves the place...
Gauri looks on as the book she purchased is sent to teh Gift wrap counter, and suddenly she remembers , Shiv talking to Vivan... "Blue is cool, it feels good .."
Almost immediately... "Suniye... Aap, please blue color waala gift wrap use karenge please... " and on being told to choose it herself... chooses a lovely sea blue wrap with some a random design of books in a library in the same color ... and finally having done wth the ordeal, happy with her purchase, heads home....
