SaAz FF:Born To be Together......Ch3 Pg8

Saiyaara is a growing fashion house which is taking baby steps in the glamorous fashion industry. The owners of this fashion house are our own Sahir Azeem Choudary and Arzoo Nausheen Khan. They have equal partnership in the company. To put in a nutshell Saiyaara is their brain child.

Sahir,32 years old, one of the most eligible bachelors and is still struggling to carve a niche for himself in this fashion world - joined his hands with his collegue froms previous company , Arzoo to start a fashion house of their own. One and a half years have gone after launching this organization yet he didn't know what made him to ask Arzoo whether she can be a working partner in Saiyaara and often thinks that he was out of his mind when he dragged her into this.

Arzoo, 25 years old, holds a fashion designing degree but more than that it is her passion to keep making something new which pulled her towards fashion designing. She is bold,confident and daring. She doesn't refrain herself from taking risks but she never knew what made her to accept Sahir's proposal of starting a fashion house and often wonders how they ended up being partners of Saiyaara.

Together they brought Saiyaara to this level, at start they have done everything from designing School Uniforms to designing clothes for drama club of a college just to sustain in this industry .Now slowly they are entering into the mainstream fashion line and today is a big day for Saiyaara as they are going to sign an important contract which will put them in a much higher position in the fashion industry and then they can keep marching forward in this fashion world.

Sahir was pacing impatiently in the lobby of his office The meeting was due to start at 10.00. It is 10.15 now still she has not arrived. What does she think of herself? Just because I dont ask her anything she doesn't have the right to behave so... before he could complete his rant he heard a car coming to halt and he knew for sure that it was her. He saw her paying for the call taxi and coming into the office."What do you think of yourself?" but before he could complete the lady raised her hand signalling him to stop and said "Mr.Sahir Azeem Choudary if you don't mind shall we get into the conference room?"

Sahir felt offended , she was treating him as if he was late for the meeting . He couldn't control his rage "Ms.Arzoo Nausheen Khan you better change your attitude..." but as usual she left before he could complete. He cursed his fate and wondered "Is her partnership in Saiyaara a curse or a boon?"

Sahir ran after her and caught up with her before she could enter into the conference room so that it would appear as if they are coming together. The representatives of other party were already present in the room who were received and welcomed by their design team as he didn't want to welcome them without the other partner . After the formal greetings and wishes they expressed their apology for pushing the meeting time by half an hour which was gladly accepted by Arzoo. But this is news to Sahir. Soon the meeting started and everything went on smoothly. As expected, the presentation of Sahir and Arzoo was more than successful and they signed the deal.

Their happiness knew no bounds and after sending off their clients they hi-fied each other and hugged. Arzoo said in excitement "I am so happy Sahir !!! This is going to change the fate of Saiyaara!". Sahir too was literally jumping in joy he came out of the hug and held her shoulders "Even I am very happy! I am excited to work with them!!"

Soon they shared the good news with their employees which consisted of designers and a peon. They too were overwhelmed with joy and they were given day off. They praised their employers and went off. Arzoo too wanted to celebrate this joy so she pulled Sahir out who was busy in working on the designs of this project.

"Leave me Arzoo. We don't have time to celebrate. We must complete the deal before the deadline and prove our worth" he said in an irritated tone which was because of Arzoo's act on that day. "Don't be such a workaholic! I know that it is important to complete this .We can just have our lunch outside somewhere , celebrate this minimally and get back to work. Okay? " she said without taking in the reason behind his irritation.

Sahir reluctantly agreed because from whatever he knew about Arzoo - she was not a person who would place leisure above work . Maybe she definitely needed a break before she could leap into work. She was such a hard worker that she will go to any extent to bring perfection and he knew that. Also even if she wanted to share the joy with anyone she can't - because she had none-just like him. Although he never knew anything about her personal life, he knows this much that she was alone.

Arzoo has chosen a continental restaurant for lunch. They both entered into it and seated themselves comfortably. He dreaded her choice of restaurant and he was right. According to him continental cuisine is best to have as dinner not as lunch. But he didn't oppose because he wanted to talk with her desparately.

Meanwhile Arzoo knew that Sahir felt uncomfortable eating in that restaurant but still she didn't care because he didn't oppose it verbally . Sahir has always been nice to her and is not like any other men she had met in her life. He is not a male chauvinist who liked to supress women or a flirt who tries to take advantage of women . He respects women a lot and she respects that quality in him.

They placed their orders and were waiting for their food. Arzoo was fiddling with her smartphone "Why didn't you inform me?" he asked looking straight into her. She just didn't understand what he is intending to know and just stared at him blankly. "Why didn't you inform me about the change in time of the meeting today?" he asked her trying to sound calm. "I forgot!" she said just like that and continued to see the phone screen again. Sahir was clearly irritated now "Did you forget that I am also a partner in Saiyaara ? " Arzoo can clearly understand his point but still didn't want to justify herself or explain herself. Yesterday, the state of mind that she was in barred any logic or rational thinking that she forgot to forward the message she received from their clients informing her that the meeting would be postponed by half an hour. The minute she reached the office today she could see the tensed face of Sahir and she immediately knew how much disappointed he would be if he found out that she forgot to inform.

Arzoo's chain of thoughts were interrupted when he almost yelled "Why do you always do this to me? You act as if I don't exist in this world..." But before he could complete the waiter arrived with their orders and gave an understanding smile. Sahir could read what he was thinking. He thought they are a couple in relationship who are fighting over something. He is accustomed to this because everytime they fought this tends to be the common notion about them .But he ignored it because the last thing he wanted to do was to imagine Arzoo in "her" place.

Meanwhile Arzoo was thinking about yesterday's events and tears were threatening to fall out any time but crying infront of a male is the last thing she wanted to do. Her chipku' will not be happy if she cried in public. So she pulled up her fighting mask and retorted "It was a simple mistake Sahir and you don't need to drag it this much. What do you want? You want to ask sorry right? Okay take it. I am Sorry! Alright? " she spat at him. But he was in no mood to leave "What do you think ? If you ask sorry everything will be okay? Everytime it is me who wants to do everything with my partner because I feel that whatever I do on behalf of Saiyaara or with Saiyaara must be known to you. But you? You conveniently forget everytime that I too belong here " he yelled without any second thought.

Each and every word of him pierced her but she didn't show that she was hurt and replied back "Mr.Sahir Azeem Choudary , if this is what you think then you are free to believe so!" and continued eating . Sahir too started eating . They are not like normal people who would show their anger on food and waste it because they know the value of this food and ate without wasting anything.

Soon both of them departed from there-separately . Sahir went back to office only to see that Arzoo has not come back. I went overboard. He felt for sure that there was some serious problem yesterday, he could read it from her expression but still his anger took over him.I think Saiyaara as my child.And I am possessive about it.I don't like being kept in dark about anything that concerns it. That is what I am trying to tell her but she always retorts back for everything I say! Why can't we talk without fighting? He fell back on his revolving chair and closed his eyes. Slowly he went through the memory lane...

The First time they fought

4 Years ago...

Arzoo was waiting impatiently for her interview results in Javed Fashions - one of the leading fashion brands. Her gaze fell on a man dressed in White full hand Shirt and a kakhi pant. He was looking... what to say...elegant..no...Oh come on Arzoo concentrate this is not a time to divert yourself. Suddenly that guy came upto her and extended his hand "Hi! I am Sahir Azeem Choudary!". She at once knew what he was upto. He is a flirt.

"You are here for interview?"

"Yes" she replied in an irritated tone.

"Then chances are less that you are going to get selected" he said smiling sarcastically.

She glared at him.

"Don't glare.If you don't care to introduce yourself when somebody takes an initiative then what can an employer expect from you?" he said in a nonchalant tone.

Arzoo wanted to know who is this but she introduced her first."I am Arzoo Nausheen Khan" she said with a fake smile.

"Better" he replied

"Why are you so desperate to get this job?" he asked seriously this time

"It is none of your business" she spat.

Sahir's fury increased

"Why cant you reply to what I ask?"

"Why do you even care?" came the reply.

"What do you think of yourself?" he asked with rage filled eyes.

"Find if you can" she replied sarcastically and went towards the board to look at the results.

She was selected.

It was her first day in office and she was appointed as a designer. They were asked to report to their designer head and there came the blow. It was none other than Sahir Azeem Choudary.

He smiled in his sleep on recollecting how her face became a perfect 'o' after seeing him.

"What is it so funny that you are smiling alone like an idiot?" asked Arzoo who had arrived just then and saw him smiling in sleep.

" Nothing " he replied trying hard to supress the chuckle . It was a ritual between them.They will fight like enemies and an hour later behave as if nothing happened. Samething was happening today too. To divert the attention and make the atmosphere lighter he asked her a question "So what do you think is the most beautiful name for a guy?"."Chipku" she replied without thinking that she mentally kicked herself for saying it aloud."Chipku?" Sahir felt that it must be nickname of someone close to her and didn't bother to dig deeper ."For a girl?"."Myra" she replied nostalgically.
