He had done it. The biggest deal of Dev Dixit's life had just been finalized. He knew that this deal was a huge step for his company, but it was a binding contract. He had to get engaged to Natasha, Mr. Gujral's daughter. Natasha was a well-mannered woman, and she was pretty, but nothing about her was exciting to Dev. She was just like all the other girls that Dev had met before, except for one.
Sonakshi.
Something about Sonakshi was so charismatic and captivating- whether it was her soft smile, her large and sparkling eyes, or the way she fought with him- he repeatedly found himself getting lost in her and everything she did. Whenever she was around him, his stomach would churn and he couldn't think straight. Like the other day- where she brought him coffee, and his clumsy self spilled it all over his shirt. She didn't think twice before she ran to clean his shirt, muttering about how he should be more careful. She then returned with another cup of coffee, storming out of the room as Dev smiled to himself.
She cares so much about me.
Dev paced back and forth in his room, feeling anxious and uneasy. It was probably because he hadn't seen Sonakshi all day. He pulled out his phone to text her, when he suddenly received a call.
"Namaste."
"Namaste!" A cheerful voice replied- it was Mr. Gujral.
"Aap sir?"
"Yes. I wanted to congratulate you on our deal. "
"Yes, congratulations to you too sir. It truly is a dream come true for me. " Dev sat down on his bed, rubbing his sore eyes.
"So Mr. Dixit, why not throw a grand party to commemorate this deal? It would give you a chance to talk more to Natasha. What say?"
Dev's stomach dropped when he mentioned Natasha. For a split second, he had forgotten all about the second part of the deal- the very reason why the deal even went through.
"Mr. Dixit?"
"Yes- sorry sir."
"Never mind that. Do you like the idea of the party?"
"Sure sir. If you would like to have a party, then I agree. "
"Great! Where would should the party be held?"
"My home?"
"Sure. Well done, Mr. Dixit. I will pay for the caterers and decor. The party will be held tomorrow."
Tomorrow? Dev sighed.
"Sure, sir. "
"Oh and Mr. Dixit. Feel free to invite anyone you want to."
"Ok sir."
Dev disconnected the phone with a jumble of thoughts in his head.
Party? In my house? What was I thinking? Who should I even invite? His mind wandered off to Sonakshi- he could invite her. She looked so beautiful at the last party- breathtakingly stunning. The problem was of how he would be able to speak in front of her without getting tongue-tied.
Dev walked down the hallway, running his fingers through his hair and readjusting his shirt.
Since when did I start caring so much about how I looked?
Looking up, Dev realized that Sonakshi was walking towards him. Her soft curls bounced with every step of hers as she scribbled furiously on her notepad.
She looked up to meet the soft, brown eyes of Dev. He looked ever so innocent, with his hair ruffled and his light pink lips.
Oh how I just wanna run my fingers through that hair... and those lips..
Sona quickly shook herself of her naughty thoughts. Just ignore him, and you'll be fine. She looked back down at her notepad, pretending to be unaware of his presence.
"Sona- Ms. Bose" Dev called out to her.
Shit, he's calling you. Ignore him. Sonakshi pretended to have not heard him and continued walking past him. He grabbed her arm and swung her around to face him.
"Ms. Bose, I was calling you." Dev said with a hint of anger.
"Oh.. uhm.. sorry... I didn't hear you." Sonakshi quietly replied.
"Anyways... I had something to ask you." Sonakshi raised her eyebrow in question.
Dev, feeling the pressure of the situation, began to blank out and felt his knees buckle under him.
"Woh... actually" He rubbed the back of his head in nervousness.
"Yes Mr. Dixit?"
"Are you free tomorrow?"
"No, I'm working tomorrow. You know, here?" She replied sarcastically.
"Oh no, I meant to tell you that... we will have a party tomorrow. I was wondering if you wanted to... uhm... attend." He spoke quickly in one breath.
Sonakshi stared blankly at him. Did he just ask me... to come to his party?
"Ms. Bose?" Dev broke her out of her reverie.
"Oh.. I will have to think about it."
"Ok, Ms. Bose. I hope you can make it. "
She smiled at him and walked away, with confused thoughts swimming around in her head.
