CHAPTER 4
"Okay Bhabhi. You should leave. Bhai must have got quite hungry by now." Said Nimisha teasingly.
Navya lowered her eyes shyly.
They have arrived at the college campus. Navya was witnessing that quite a bit have changed their till she has left. She also met her old teachers and seemed to be a favorite of all of them due to her soft and sober nature.
She sat inside the car after hugging Nimisha and was taken to Anant's office.
***
Navya entered inside the office and enquired about Anant's cabin from the receptionist.
"Sir, we believe in quality rather than quantity. Our company..." Anant was on phone when he heard a knock on his cabin door. He told to come in without seeing the person. Navya came inside and stood infront of his desk.
"Yes.." Anant turned his chair to find Navya standing with a lunch-box.
"Navya, tum?" He was completely surprised seeing her here. She was wearing a pink colored sari with minimum makeup. "Come, have a seat."
Navya sat there with a small smile on her lips.
"Vo aap.. You forgot to take your lunch-box so.."
Anant smiled silently at her sweet gesture.
"Wow palak paneer, that's my favorite." Exclaimed Anant excitedly as he removed the lid of the box.
"I know." Skipped from Navya's mouth.
"You know? How?" He raised his eyebrows upwards.
"Vo.. Nimisha told me."
Anant smiled and took one morsel of the dish. Navya was keenly looking at his face to see his reaction.
"Hmm the taste is quite different. This is not made by Maa, I guess." Said Anant and looked at her.
"Actually I..I made this." Replied Navya nervously. She thought that he didn't like it.
"Delicious." Exclaimed Anant with a grin. Somewhere he felt happy that Navya cooked his favorite dish for him.
"You know Navya, I am always conscious about the taste of the food. I mean till now mujhe sirf maa ke haath ka bana hua khana pasand tha but from today onwards my list gets extended with another name." He added with a slight smirk.
Navya blushed receiving this unusual compliment from her husband cum friend.
He started eating the morsels with a quick speed much to Navya's amazement. He was eating like a little child who was too busy in relishing his favorite dish. Seeing this, a small smile crept on her lips unknowingly.
He saw her looking at him and stopped midway getting a bit embarrassed for his antics.
"Umm vo sorry, I got a bit carried away." He bit his tongue. "Tum.. tum bhi lona. I am sure you haven't had your lunch as well, right?"
Navya nodded her head in reply.
Anant got up from his seat and sat beside her. Navya looked at him confused.
"We can't share the same food from sitting at such a distance. Can we?" He passed the lunch box gently at her side. "Come on, have it now!"
Navya nodded and took a piece of morsel with a slight smile.
Few strands of Navya's hair came infront as she was eating the food. Anant noticed this, her eyes were lowered. She was looking beautiful again, He thought. Without giving any second thought, he tucked those strands of hair behind her ear lovingly which made Navya conscious and him as well!
"Vo..vo.." Anant fumbled "Those strands were disturbing you na so I tucked them."
Navya dropped her gaze and looked down in shyness made Anant gave a shy smile as well.
Anant returned back to his cabin after leaving Navya till the car unaware about someone noticing all these things very keenly.
"What the hell? She looks such a down market girl. She is so not of Anant's type." Thought Kanika and frowned. She was Anant's colleague and his good friend. She was Maya's daughter who was the best friend of Sugandha. Both the ladies wanted their daughter and son respectively to get married and not so surprisingly Kanika too liked Anant a lot but neither he knows about this nor he considers her as more than a friend.
"Hey Anant, Is the presentation ready?" Asked Kanika entering inside Anant's cabin.
"Yes its almost ready. Have a look" Said Anant and gave the pen drive to her.
"Umm Anant, that was your wife, right?" Asked Kanika calmly not showing her eagerness to know every detail about her.
"Yes. She is Navya. I actually wanted to introduce you both but she was in a hurry so I guess next time." Exclaimed Anant with a smile. Kanika could notice that the mere mention of his wife brought a smile on his lips which irked her more.
"Yes next time." Kanika faked a smile. She took the PD from him and went from there.
