Gifts for the Lady
Randhawa walked into the gift store, quickly scanning it for the section that would best serve his needs. He headed to the area where crystal pieces decked with Christmas themes were on display. It didn't take him long to select one - he never really had to spend time contemplating his choices. It was a pretty glass jar, lightly filled with confetti and decorated with a cute little setup. There was a little house within, with a snowman and Christmas tree beside it. There were also five tiny vials, with pieces of paper within, scattered in the snow around the house. The delicate piece reminded him very much of the lady he had chosen it for.
The sales person at the counter explained the purpose of the vials, as Ranveer had already figured. The piece of paper contained in each vial allowed you to scribble a message for the person you wanted to gift it to. Randhawa thanked the lady and paid for the gift. He decided to pack it himself instead of using the store-bought wrapping.
As he headed out, he passed by a jewellery store and decided to take a quick look within. He found the accessories section and, on request, was shown the best designs in brooches. His gaze landed on one that had a fine filigree of flowers interspersed with stars, and right in the center of it were the initials PRS. Ranveer was amazed at his luck! Not only was the brooch a design that he instantly liked but it had just the right initials. While it might be a bold gift for Miss Oberoi considering the fact that they hadn't really discussed their relationship status and nor had he officially asked her out, but it would be worth seeing the adorable blush stain her cheeks when she realised what it meant. It was time that the distraction named Dev was pushed aside. He quickly purchased the brooch and walked out with a smile on his face.
His cell buzzed as he got into the car.
"Ranvi, it's me!" exclaimed an excited Nisha from the other end.
"Yes, Nishu, what's up?" He queried.
"With whom are you going to the Christmas ball?"
"Huh?"
"Rudr's party," she clarified. "He mentioned each of us needs to get a date along."
"Oh!" Would he need to ask Miss Oberoi now?
"So we're going together!" Nisha said gleefully.
"What?!" Ranveer was taken aback at Nisha's sudden announcement.
His surprise didn't go unnoticed and sensing something fishy, Nisha asked, "You're going with someone?"
"Erm, actually..." he began but was interrupted by Nisha.
"Ranveer Singh Randhawa, there's a secret girlfriend out there?" She asked, incredulous. "Details! Now!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Relax, Nishu," he replied. "You're reading way too much here. There's no girlfriend. I was just suprised because I might have to give the party a miss. Something urgent has come up." He was lying through his teeth and he didn't care. There was no way he was going to discuss his personal life with anyone at this point. Not even Nisha.
"Quit being boring, Randhawa," she replied wryly. "You're coming to the party and since you don't have anyone else to go along with, we're going together."
"You're still the tyrant I remember from college," he chuckled, before agreeing and disconnecting the call.

I'm now working on Priyanka's preps for the party and finding a date for her since Ranveer clearly is taken - for the evening, that is. 😆 Will be updating again later tonight, once I'm done in the kitchen. 😛
