Prithvi stood outside the office as nervous as anything, it was the first big face to face presentation with an even bigger company he didn't know about and he was to give it. Not that he had never given any presentations before but those were small ones and his life didn't depend on them but this time his boss had clearly said that he would kill or die to get this contract, he didn't fear the loss of his life as it wasn't with him but he never wanted any loss to happen to his company because of him and also that this job gave him the facility to live in the kind of atmosphere he loved, peaceful and cool. Working in Darjeeling had been a very pleasurable experience till now and it was good as he had known it to be. But right now his only dream of living here forever was in danger and he couldn't afford that "stay calm Prithvi it's not that you haven't handled such pressure before" but then he remembered construction and infrastructure was not his line of specialization "all the best Prithvi if she is their then the presentation will go well no doubt" and with a calm face he entered. Prithvi gave a small greeting smile to everyone but his eyes seemed to be searching only for one person in the hall and when he found her sitting between the clients he looked confused for a second seeing her there as usually she would be just standing beside him, admiring him and supporting him to go ahead, but maybe today was a test and she was to see him pass in it he thought and smiled wider and began to give the presentation with full confidence to prove it to everyone, especially her.

The presentation was a success and everyone congratulated him while he could only smile at her as she still sat back with a wide smile on her face looking at him proudly "Prithvi" the grateful voice of his boss shifted his focus towards him "This the special client I was talking about, the chairman of Saxena enterprises" Prithvi's eyes widened with shock as the name registered in his mind and he looked up to see a sight he had been dreading for the past 6 months, "Damini Gujral" the man introduced and signaled him to shake hands with her "Saxena" she added bringing her hand forward but he was hardly listening to any of them, lost in his own world of reveries and thoughts "he is a little bit shy" his boss added bringing his hand forward getting him out and throwing him an angry glare "I wouldn't think better" she said squeezing his hand tight making him look up at her and then smiled "oh, Miss Gujral" he finally stepped out and started professionally gaining enough of his courage that he had developed in past months but seemed to shatter just seeing her hear "Mrs. Saxena, I prefer being called by this name so that doesn't mislead others" she said in a tone he couldn't contemplate and he was confused too, hadn't she got his letter and the divorce papers yet? Was she here for answers of why he left? But what concerned him more that he had thrown a smile at her like an idiot and the one he wanted to smile was nowhere to be seen "so Mr. Prithvi is the dinner prospect okay with you?" she asked noticing his aloofness but showed nothing, and he nodded foolishly in a yes "great my pleasure, I will tell the driver to pick you up at 8" and without a back glance she vanished like she was never here in the first place itself.

Dinner!! With Damini!!! At 8!!!! Today!!!!! Prithvi couldn't help but open his mouth farther apart as he digested the piece of information down his throat where it had stuck up since she had first said it "Yes we did it" Nikhil shouted like a school kid as he entered the cabin "you did it Prithvi, you impressed the toughest client of all" and he hugged him in a friendly manner "and I must say yaar the way she looked at you was like'she was flat on you" he added mischievously, ha flat, Damini, and that too on him, Prithvi could laugh on that one for years to come when he was the one practically grinning idiot when he had first misunderstood her to be his Damini and thrown a smile at him "and dinner-shinner haan" he nudged him and Prithvi looked away with a sly smile and then his smile changed into fright as he remembered it "who all are going to the dinner?" he asked desperately "dude what's wrong, I agree she was sexy par tu kaise'.." Prithvi's blood boiled on the sentence and he grabbed his collar and pushed him to his level "don't you dare say another word about my'." He wanted to say her name and punch him hard but knew this would increase the doubts of them and until he talked to her he didn't want to tell anything to anyone "character" he added and slowly left the collar of the dumbfound man who hadn't seen Prithvi so angry "and she clarified she was married anyways" Nikhil continued shamelessly and disappointedly and this gave Prithvi a relief and became normal "how many people Nikhil?" he asked irritated "I knew you were smitten by her stunning figure''.." Prithvi threw a daggering glare "2, only the two of you" he said going out of the room and Prithvi wanted to bury himself in the ground "and you are no less Prithvi, I saw her reaction when she saw you as well, she couldn't blink an eye, just dress well and who knows she needn't change her name but might decide on changing her husband" he whispered as Prithvi looked at him in surprised. 'naa even the husband would remain the same' he grinned and then slapped his cheek slightly for thinking such a thing for her "dinner at 8" her words rang in his head and he sighed slipping back into his chair.

At eight he was outside his door dressed in a black 3-piece tuxedo suit with a bouquet of colored flowers in his hands, it was a formality he was told to follow by the staff. The driver picked him and dropped him at a small house like his own and told him that he was told this place was where Damini lived and left immediately like his life depended on it. Nervously he rang the door of the bell and she immediately opened it welcoming him casually as it meant nothing to her or well she didn't want to show it. And he knew why, she had probably got nothing and was waiting for him to settle down and then she would explode, but till then the house decoration from inside was enough to blow him off. It was all in white wall over which the royal blue curtains hung properly swaying with the cool wind. A slighter lighter shade of the same was the table cloth and the white chairs just matched perfectly setting the evening for his best date ever. And she was wearing a black sari just looking as beautiful and matching with him and if a third person looked at them then he would say how made for each other they looked. He held out the flowers to her and she smilingly took while he waited for her outburst patiently "like it?" she asked as she found him staring at the decorations and he nodded dreamily "I did it just for tonight" she whispered softly and he was left confused of her exact intentions.

The dinner went in silence with only a little talk of business and nothing else and one would say they were two strangers working together and having a little talk of it, they finished together and then she went to keep the dishes aside while he strode from one side to the other stressed out impatient for her explosion and wanting to get a smell of her deeds, the candle lights that set the romantic ambience, the wind blowing with perfect intensity was just driving him crazy with pressure and all he wanted was to run away from here, from her and hide somewhere the guilt of leaving her with probably no answers wouldn't eat him up, but he knew he had to answer her anyhow and now that she had seen him she wouldn't let him go so easily and well she could use all her power to find him and he wouldn't be able to run away again. He felt a tap on his shoulder and knew it was her, he reluctantly turned to face the angriest outburst in his life but found her smiling instead "a dance maybe" she offered him her hand and he shook his head "maybe next time, it is a little late now" he excused "it isn't that your wife is waiting for you to return home Prithvi is it?" he could tell she had asked this bit a little afraid but it was only a little doubt he had but she was right, his life and world was here and he was trying to run away from her, how foolish he could get.

She put on some romantic music and they stood close to each other eyes capturing each other's and hearts beating rapidly, as they swayed just looking at each not being able to break their intense eye lock. But doing that was necessary in order keep himself in his senses as he twirled her around slowly and she came back into his arms closer than before, wrapping her arms around his waist she laid her head on his heart, a property she knew she had proclaimed hers and he absolutely could never deny the same. But this all was not supposed to happen was it? It was supposed to be an argument, her explosion, his explanation, and then her going back from his life forever and move on in hers but here she was hugging him as tightly as possible never wanting to let go, he didn't either but it had to be this way. Prithvi opened his eyes and moved back "this isn't right" and Damini looked at him shivering with emptiness as he left her and hugged herself for sheer comfort, Prithvi noticing this took off his coat and wrapped it around her and said "I must go now" and moved to the door when she held his wrist stopping him "I know I did wrong but you wrote you still loved me, so how come this isn't right Prithvi? Please tell me how is it wrong" she came in front of him and shook him by the collar, her eyes wet with the constant flowing of tears, and then hugged him sobbing her heart out while he was busy in his thoughts, if she got the letter and still came back to him then that could just mean one thing, she was here for a squaring off and that would only be possible if the lady had the heart to forgive him for his deeds. "I don't deserve you" his heart had lunged for the prospect of a second chance but he just couldn't stop thinking "I know" she replied steadying herself in his arms "you deserve someone far better than me, someone who could understand the way I never could" she added surprising him. And he thought he was a moron to let her go in the first place when she landed a step ahead by considering herself guilty "but still I need you to be by my side, you wouldn't leave me for the better woman na?" how did she actually manage to think such rubbish even. The sudden rush of affection for the beautiful hearted woman standing in his arms and the urge to tell her what she meant to him was too much to control today, he couldn't miss a chance of breaking this shell when she had taken the first step ahead and he had felt her loss miserably from the last 6 months, "I couldn't dare leave you for the epitome of perfection, I'd die of loss" he said with pure love in his voice, he knew that he had to tell her his true feelings now or else he would never be able to share them with anyone and her coming back into his life even after so many mistakes of his was enough to tell him that he needed to let himself in front of her.

They danced for some more time closer than ever this time but none of them regretting it, this distance had surely bridged the missing bond between them and the fear of losing each other wouldn't let them repeat their mistakes again. "Damini" he said softly and she looked up her eyes questioning him and for a moment he felt all the courage drain out of him, but then thinking how she would glow with happiness when he said it was worth it "I love you" a simple confession was enough he thought but nevertheless he kiss her temple sealing his words with his actions as she closed her eyes with a blissful feeling, when words become necessary to explain then one shouldn't waste time with thoughts.....
