Aap Jaisa Koi...
Episode 18
Ranveer comes back to his office, a lil embarrassed to face Bani. He sees that his room is all neat n clean, n turns to luk at Bani, but she was bz in her work. He goes to his desk n admires Bani while sitting down to his work.
Right then Aditya comes barging in n says, "Ranveer, bahut gadbad ho gayi hai. Voh jo hamare Australia se clients aaye the na, voh log parso hi wapas jaa rahe hai."
Ranveer very casually shaking his head says, "toh usme gadbad kya hai, dad. Humne toh unka kaam kar diya na."
Aditya, in a very emphasizing manner says, "haan beta, hamne unka kaam kar diya, isliye voh humse dusri deal karna chahte hai. Actually unka ek bahut bada delegate aane wala hai India ek din ke liye, so voh chahte hai ke saara intezaam hum sambhaaley."
Ranveer luks happy but Aditya cuts in n says, "khush hone ki baat toh hai per problem yeh hai ke unka delegate parso hi aa raha hai."
Ranveer is stunned n asks, "oh ho, toh kal nahi parso?"
Aditya imitates Ranveer n says, "haan, kal nahi parso."
Ranveer then reacts immediately n says, "toh phir Dad, aap yaha kya kar rahe ho. Chaliye phir bahut kaam karne hai hamein."
They both walk towards the door n Ranveer turns to luk at Bani b4 leaving the room, but finds her still bz doing her work to even luk at him. Ranveer steps out n thinks to himself that, "shayad voh meri taraf dekhna ya mujhe face karna nahi chahti, kyunki voh sharminda hai uss chote se incident ke liye jo hamare beech hua." He gets a lil disturbed thinking abt what she was thinking of him n he shrugged his thoughts n left.
Here Bani WAS a lil embarrassed abt the whole episode that happened few minutes ago. She cudnt breath till Ranveer was in the room. All the time, she knew that he was watching her but she cudnt dare luk up as she was scared he might notice the affection in her eyes for him. She took a relieved breath after Ranveer left but was missing his stare n his presence in the room.
Rano's College:
Rano was so disturbed with all these changes happening around her that she cudnt think of anything else. She was talking to Pia when Anu n Sahil joins them. Anu comes n hugs Rano n Rano bcomes more disturbed n so Sahil covers her hand with his. Rano luks up to him n Sahil gestures her with his eyes to take it easy.
Pia n Anu r bz talking abt something when Sahil takes Rano aside n asks her, "kya hua Rano, tumne Pushkar se baat ki?"
Rano is all confused whether to say anything to Sahil or not, so she says, "Sahil, voh…ghar mein thodi problem hai. Main ussi mein bz thi ke Pushkar se baat hi nahi ho paayi."
Sahil suddenly gets concerned n asks, "kya baat hai Rano? Sab theek toh hai na?"
Rano shrugs her shoulders n says, "aisi koi baat nahi Sahil. Sab theek hi hai, bas vohi regular stuff."
Sahil was still concerned n was abt to ask something else when Anu n Pia joins them n asks, if they wanna go for lunch. They both agree n they all leave for lunch.
Walia Group of Industries:
Next morning, Ranveer schedules a meeting in his office n calls upon Aditya, Roshni, Rohit, n Bani for the meeting. Everyone gathers in Ranveerz office n sits on the sofas.
Ranveer assigns everyone some work n keeps explaining to them what they are suppose to do.
Bani notices that Ranveer didn't luk at her for once today, but luked tired himself. She was now luking at him for every few minutes, she thought to herself that maybe he is too occupied in his work. On the other hand, Ranveer cudnt digest the thought that Bani might not be interested in him. Even though it was killing him to see Bani with Rohit today, but he didn't luk at her let alone saying a word to her. He was deliberately ignoring her so that he can give her some space.
Roshni gets bz with her work n asks Aditya to help her. Whereas, Ranveer was left with most of the work so he was so occupied that he didn't even notice that it was the lunch time. Rohit asks Bani for lunch n she agrees thinking Ranveer is going to lunch with Aditya n Roshni.
When she sees everyone leave n Ranveer still doing his work, Bani comes to him n with a lil hesitation asks, "Mr. Walia, aap lunch per nahi jaa rahe."
Ranveer doznt even luk at her n says, "nahi. Mujhe bahut kaam hai, aap log chale jaayiye."
Bani feels very weird going to lunch, but had to go as she already said yes to Rohit. So she leaves. Ranveer just keeps on staring at the door after her. He cudnt understand the pain he was feeling. He shrugged off his thoughts n went back to work.
It was Bani who came quickly after lunch n as she stepped into the door she saw Ranveer resting, sitting on the chair, bent down with his head on the table. She came inside slowly without making any noise. She came closer n realized that he was actually sleeping. With lots of courage she moved closer to stand next to him n admired him from close. She just kept on looking at his features, his broad shoulders n his hair that were all tucked back, making him luk more like an arrogant but handsome bizness man. She laughed at the thought of calling him arrogant n then slowly took her hand towards his face, but pulled it back. She felt a tinge of pain in her heart when she stood so close to him n without realizing what she's doing, she bent forward n kissed him on his cheek.
