Chapter 11(B)She was sitting in the balcony of her room, clutching the shawl tighter to her body and thinking about him or should I say specifically about THE MOMENT in his house and afterwards.
How he was looking at her through rear-view mirror of the car awakening the butterflies. How he was looking at her from his cabin when she was drinking her coffee. And when she noticed him staring , how confidently he gave her a teasing look as if asking answer for his question. Whole day he was teasing her with that stupid smirk of his ,as if she has done something wrong. Oh...yeah..she has watched him shirtless. But that was um..um..totally unintentional. Why the hell I am even thinking about that sadu and spoiling my beauty sleep. Saying this she moved inside her room. Her destiny smiled at her and said ' You think about him daily and spoil your so called beauty sleep '.
*******Arjun was sipping his coffee and thinking about her. How she was looking or better say gawking at his shirtless figure. And the appearance of red colour when she realised what she was doing. How cute she was looking with that naturally appearing colour. Red was surely her colour complementing perfectly her complexion. And her nervousness was quite visible when Jai offered to drop her. How pissed she was when I was teasing her. Her expressions was shouting loudly that she desperately wanted to wipe that smirk off my face. But her bad luck and my good luck that she can't do anything. She is damn cute when she is angry. Waise she looks cute in every expression and good in every attire. Hell where that come from. Did I just...NO... I need to stay away from that girl and for now I need some sleep to keep away this stupid thoughts.
*******Arjun was sitting in his cabin reading some documents. But only he knows how much he was into that file. He was just flipping pages and time to time looking at the watch and coffee maker area.
" Waiting for someone " Jai commented entering his cabin and looking at the direction of his interest.
" Why will I wait for someone."replied he looking at the file.
" Oh then it's OK...I thought you were looking for Arohi."teased Jai rolling his tongue inside his mouth.
" Why would I look for her?... Waise where is she. She need to submit the progress report."he said calmly turning the page of the file pretending every thing is casual.
" She is on leave "said Jai looking at his face.
" What? Why? Why didn't she informed me "asked he instantly.
Jai smirked at his reaction.
" Why will she inform you. She need to inform the HR department and she has done that."replied Jai seriously hiding his laughter at condition of his best friend.
" Yes she needs to inform me. She is my manager. "" She was your manager. Forgot Gaurav has rejoined the office. replied Jai.
" But she is assisting me in Khurrana's project. So technically she is still my manager."justified he.
" A part time one "teased Jai
" Whatever... Waise tujhe ksise pata chala. asked Arjun.
" I called her... seeing your desperation. "replied Jai murmuring the last sentence under her breath.
" What did you say? "" I said I called her because she is my friend na." replied Jai.
*******Arjun was flipping the pages of file.
" Was she avoiding me? " thought Arjun.
" But why? Even if she is why it is affecting me. "
" Aacha hi hain. Mujhse jitna door rahegi mere liye utna hi behtar hai. "
His thought was broken by knocking of door.
" Sir we have meeting in Hotel Paradise with the suppliers."informed Gaurav.
Arjun nooded and took his car keys and marched towards the exit.
*******" In which hotel "asked Arohi on phone.
" Hotel Paradise. Room no 205 "replied the person on the other end.
" OK. Wait for my message. And don't worry everything will be fine. I am there na."assured Arohi.
She reached there. Everything was planned. All she need to do is to make her plan work.
" Room no 205 "asked Arohi.
" 2nd floor.Left side ma'am"replied receptionist smilingly.
She reached there. The room was locked from inside that means he is still in the room. Everything was going according to her plan. She just need to enter the room somehow.She looked here and there and found a house-keeper. She got an idea. She called the housekeeper and gave him some money and told him not to clean this room. First he denied but seeing bundle of note he agreed.
She messaged ' Stage 1 completed '.
*******His meeting was over so he was coming out of the room looking at the mails.When he collided with a hotel staff. He held his arm to prevent him from falling.
" I am sorry. It was my mistake "apologized Arjun.
The man was just staring at Arjun dumbfounded as if he has seen some ghost. Arjun was also looking at him still holding him trying to remember where he has seen him.
" Do I know you? Why I am having strong feeling that I have seen you somewhere?"The staff adjusted his turban and touched his beard and sighed.
" No sir. I don't think you know me. May be you have seen me around."replied he nervously and walked out hurriedly from there.
" Hey wait."called Arjun.
He stopped.
" Kya tumne abhi English Mein baat Ki?"He bit his lips and turned around.
" Sir aapne bhi to mujhse English Mein poocha. Waise bhi yahan bahaut se foreign customers aate hai to "he replied confidently.
" Sir let's go "said Gaurav.
Arjun nodded. He was still not convinced that he had not seen him before. Something was fishy.
" You go I have some work here.".
He followed him.
*******" Hey Babaji aaj to aapne bachaa liya warna main to pakdi hi jaati."said Arohi.
" Not yet Miss.Arohi."said Arjun from behind.
She was shocked to hear this. She didn't turn around because she very well know that if she turns his doubt will get confirmed.
" Don't act I have recognized you " he said coming in front of you.
" Sir aap mujse kuch keh rahe hai. "she replied.
" Yes MISS AROHI."" Sir aapko koi galatfaimi hui. My name is Aranjeet."replied Arohi.
" Woh to abhi pata chal jayega."said Arjun holding her hand and dragging her to his room. He closed the door and pulled her towards him with a jerk. She collided with his chest and her hand automatically held his coat to prevent her from falling. His one hand was wound around her waist. Both looked into each others eyes. The closeness has paralysed the senses of both. He pressed her waist to pull her closer. He himself don't know what made him do this. Maybe the desperation to see her or maybe he don't want her to ignore him. Her breathing was fast and heavy. He inhaled the air around her. The air around her smells citrus as if lemon or lime. It confirmed his doubt.
" Sir " she said nervously trying to maintain the manly tone.
" Shh...he said keeping his thumb on her lips and caressing her exposed cheek with his index finger.
Her eyes got widened on feeling fingers on his cheek and lips.
He removed the fake beard slowly. And then moving his hand towards the turban. He swiftly removed the turban and then the rubber, freeing her long lustrous cascades of black hair. He removed the small hairs from her face. She could not do anything as if she was into some spell.
" Do you have anything to say now."he asked in low voice looking into her eyes and still holding her close.
" Sir... "she said wriggling her body.
The realisation dawned him. He at once removed his hand from her waist and moved backward creating some space between them.
" So you lied "" Yes Sir but it was for good. "" Care to explain what you are doing in this clothes. "" Sir believe me. I am not here to cheat someone or harm someone. I am just here to help my friend."He raised his eyebrows hinting her to tell him everything.
" Sir I will tell you everything. But for now I have to get that pen drive from that 'beep' before he enter the room. "" What is in the pen drive that you are desperate to have it in wrong. Aur waise bhi how do you know that pen drive is in room not with him. "" I have seen him locking the pen drive in side table."" How? And if he had locked it how your gonna open it."" Woh ye get up main ye pata lagane ke liye liya tha Ki kya pen drive Ki aur koi copy hai aur us lichad ne pen drive kahan chupaya hai."" What if use pata chal Gaya Ki tumne ye sab... Aur usne tumhe hurt karne Ki koshish Ki to." asked Arjun concernly.
" Sir agar pen drive gayab Hua to use aise bhi pata chal jayega Ki ye mera kiya Hua hai. "" Sir woh meri friend ka ex-boyfriend hai. To uske pass un dono Ki kuch photos hai jise lekar woh use blackmail kar raha hai. Parson uski shadi hai. Ladke ko pata hai aur even usne bhi ise samajhane Ki koshish Ki par ye lichad maan hi nahi raha. Ladke Ki family purane khayal wale hai. Unhe pata chala to woh shadi tor denge aur phir aapko pata hi hain ... "He was not convinced with her idea of going in his room. He know that she was hiding something from her.
" Sir trust me I will tell you everything after I get the pen drive."" Ok.. But I will also go with you."And he trusted her just like that. The person with the serious trust issue trusted her just like that.
" What's the plan."asked Arjun.
She told him the plan. He listened to her very carefully.
" There are sudden loopholes in this plan. "commented he.
" Once a sadu is always a sadu"murmured she under her breath rolling her eyes.
" But main loophole is you have not thought anything about the security cameras." She bit her lips. He was right she has not thought about it. She can be charged for stealing.
" Ok I have a plan but it's kind of...kind of..." he trailed feeling awkward to say something.
" Bold "he finally spoke.
He told her the plan and she knows that this is the only way to avoid the cameras. So she agreed.
" Make sure your face is covered with your hair. I don't want your reputation to be ruined." he ordered.
She was smitten by his concern. She came out of the room wearing her turban and beard. She changed into her own dress taking care that her hair is left open so that she can hide her face.
She came back in the room. He spilled some drink on her. She exited the room stumbling acting as drunk. He followed her and locked the room. He called the manager.
" Hi I am Arjun. I have booked a room. Actually my wife is drunk and she has thrown the card somewhere. So can you please open the door."he said holding her clinging figure firmly.
After checking and confirming manager opened the door with master card. The moment he opened the door she stumbled and collided with the manager making the card fall from his hand. She instantly took the card.
" Ma'am card."" No this is our room's card. I will not give you."acted Arohi.
" Baby pls give it. "acted Arjun
" Can you please do me favour. Pls remove all the alcoholic drinks from the room. And don't worry about the card. She act like stubborn when she is drunk."The manager moved inside to call the room service. Meanwhile she leaned on the door of room no 205. He covered her from the camera and she opened the door of room no 205 and moved from there. He handed him the card.
They entered their room and closed the door.
" Step 1 completed. Now step 2 "" Waise Sir aapko kaise pata chala Ki main hi hoon. Mujhe pata hai ki aap ko shak ho gaya tha. Par I Koi aur bhi to Ho sakta tha."asked Arohi.
He looks at her. How he will say that he recognized her from her citrus smell.
" Kaam par dhyan de few minutes Ho Gaye hai."She nodded and opened the door and acted again as the drunkard wife who don't want to be in her room. Arjun followed her like a sincere husband. She hugged him tightly and pretend as if kissing his neck. He made sure that her face was covered. Her breath fanning his neck and her soft form plastered to him was driving him crazy. He reminded himself about the situation to remain intact his sanity.
He opened his coat and and threw it on the camera. He gestured her to go inside the room no 205. And he himself move towards his room and locked it hanging ' DO NOT DISTURB ' card. After doing he entered the room no 205 and saw her opening the side table with the keys. She was try keys after keys to match the lock. But she couldn't find the right key.
They heard some noises and he instantly pulled her with him and they hid in the balcony. He peeped to see who was there and was stunned to see the same person he has seen Arohi with when he had seen Arohi for the first time in the hotel.
