Kiss < Coffee < Call
'so shall I give you a ring or will you?'
He leaned over to grab the fine tipped pencil and she leaned over to help him, only the timings were a sec apart, which made her nose and lips hit his cheek, planting a kiss, shocking them both.
The touch of his rough cheek against her soft lips sent a sensation through arohi, She quickly moved back. She put her fingers to her mouth and gasped at what happened, an honest mistake but an awkward one. It was not like those friendly or polite pecks. Arjun slowly leaned back not showing his anger at her awkwardness he has been witnessing since last night. 'I am so sorry , I did not mean to , u know' she tried to clear herself, 'it is allright' he kept his tone as polite as possible. It is just a beginning and he still has to start his acting of being in love with her. May be he should take this as an opportunity. He looked at her directly in the eye trying to catch her attention, she could not read what went in his eyes but she got lost in them, unaware she was staring at him even after he looked away. his slight cough brought her back, she was embarassed and shifted in her chair. 'relax' he said with a relaxed voice making her more tense and increasing her heart beat.
Sanchit walked in just then, after an hour or so arohi started to leave before sanchit could say anything, arjun responded ' I am leaving too, are you driving or can I drop you off?'. 'I came with bhaiyya' 'fine then I can drop you' he said walking out not waiting for her response. Arohi looked at sanchit, he signalled her to leave. He was surprised how things were working out by themselves, but arjun left just like that, they could not talk about anything important. It felt strange to him.
There was a familiar smell in his car, of his cologne , which she had started to like. He had his sunglasses on and was focused on the road ahead. She at one point felt like he didnot even know she was in the car, it had just been 5 minutes though, and she felt like it had been 5 hours, how can one sit for more than 5 minutes without talking to the next person. so she started. 'umm can I ask you something?' he who was thinking how to start the next move was glad she began 'yeah' 'no its nothing, you will probably laugh' 'I wont , I assure you' 'why did you not stay back in the party, you left early, hope my singing did not drive you away' he wanted to say yes it did, that was the main reason he left 'sorry about that, how rude of me to leave in between, but a friend needed me so I had to' she was delighted at his politeness , he continued 'I am sure I will get another chance to listen, wont I?' 'I would be glad to, because you know I love singing and playing the piano, I just love music' she said excitedly.
He had mentally decided to start the game so there was no point in waiting for right time. ' Would you like to have a cup of coffee' he asked her. She had not expected such initiative from him, that too after all the mishaps she has been doing, she felt flattered. 'yeah sure'. He stopped at a cafe and despising the popular rule that a 'gentleman should open the door for a gal' , he went to the other side quickly and opened the door for her, almost shocking her. Once he did these two things, it was easy to carry on.
He did not talk much during their coffee break but arohi was excited just by the fact that she was with him. She told him how she and her friends liked this place, how she found out about this place first, what other varieties are really good, what else they can find in that area. Half of it went over his head. She was talking like she knew him from a long time. She expected him to start talking about himself, but all he did was nod or say 'is it' 'good to know' etc. She cursed the coffee for getting over so quickly and cursed herself for talking only from her pov and not asking anything about him.
After dropping her home, he bent down and called out to her 'is it ok , if I call you', she knew what that meant, she felt blood rush through her cheeks 'of course' 'so shall I give you a ring or will you' 'ring?' ring? so soon ? 'I said give me a call from ur phone so I can call u back' oohh that kind of ring she felt like a fool for jumping into unnecessary conclusion, and gave her number so he can give a ring first. He called her cell and they both had their numbers with each other. Then he smiled at her, looked straight in her eye for a second more and left, leaving her standing there rooted to ground not believing he actually smiled at her and paused before leaving, she felt her heartbeat race. Already smitten by him, this short outing seemed like a date to her. 'silly me, it is just a friendly gesture' she told herself and skipped inside. She ignored her mother calling out to her and went straight upto her room and locked the door.
What a day. once she thot that, the accidental kiss replayed in her mind and she closed her face with both hands even though she was alone. She laid down on the back, she turned over, sat up again, got down the bed and walked to and fro, again laid back on the bed, repeatedly her lips touching his rough cheeks popped up. thank god it was just cheeks, thinking this she blushed again. There was a loud knock on her door and amrit called her . She had to open 'what are you doing? how many times I have to call you to come down' 'I did not hear you' 'where are you lost? I called you more than 5 times' 'fine, I will come now' 'how was ur day at work' work?she didnot work. 'bhayya told something I didnot understand' 'you have become lazy, so what did you do then' kissed a guy, had coffee with him, gave her phone number!! 'nothing much, but he was there' 'who?' 'bhayya's new partner , Arjun' her voice became low when she said his name. 'oh ok. you want parantha?' her mother kept talking and arohi imagined arjun sitting in front of her watching her eat. if only it was real , she smiled at her own thot.
She spent rest of the day dreaming and was in one when her cell rang. Her heart skipped a beat and she slowly took it and saw shefu's number flashing. stupid cant she guess that she is waiting for a special call. She did not take the call, five minutes later shefu called again, after 3 attempts she stopped calling. Arohi waited for rest of the evening and even after dinner , she never got her special call. At 9.30 she could not take it anymore and called him herself. 'hello' a rough voice came from other side 'hi' she said criging for making the call, listening to her voice he became alert, he just took the phone thinking it was the manager from shimla who had gotten a earful just few minutes ago. he recognised her voice, hardly any girl call him to get confused, 'Arohi?' 'yeah its me' 'what a pleasant surprise, how are you' 'fine. just thot I will call you since you mentioned earlier' sh*t he had completely forgotten. good thing the girl called herself 'oh no I forgot actually ...' arohi felt sad suddenly he forgot? 'I mean I almost called and I got another call so I forgot to ring again' he had to lie. 'it is okay' 'will you excuse me for a minute?' he said and cut the call. she almost had tears in her eyes, what an insult he just cut her call? why did she call at all her thots were broken when her phone rang 'hello' 'sorry , I said I will call and so I wanted to call you' how nice, she misunderstood him so quickly as fast as she had sulked she became excited again 'it doesnt matter who calls' 'it does to me. I want to make it upto you, I mean make amends for not keeping my word, how about a cup of coffee tomorrow evening' 'tomorrow?' 'yeah same place at around 6' 'okay' 'good, I was afraid you would say no' 'I dont mind , I mean it is just coffee' 'great because I do like your company, and it is not just to me' 'like your company' sounded like 'like you' to her 'good night then' he said 'good night' she was sad the call ended so soon. she did not realise how quickly he had asked her out twice. She wanted to say 'it is not just to me either, it actually means a lottt'.
'Sanchit ahluwalia your fame and reputation are going to go down the drain soon along with your wealth' arjun thot after the call ended and arohi's confused blushed innocent face after she had accidentally kissed him came up. He wiped his cheeks for the nth time now. clumsy girl. He worked on his laptop till late night, he had to look up the work happening at shimla, delhi, studying the reports. Once he was done with that, he studied the personal details of some of the prominent shareholders of Ahluwalia industries, jay had sent him. He estimated about 5-6 mths before sanchit can be given his first shock.
Finally he slept. That night he had a strange dream , he saw arohi in his dream chasing a butterfly which eventually landed on his hand , she came to him , he caught her roughly but she vanished , he saw a fairy in white taking arohi away protectively, the butterfly still sat on his hand, he went behind them the fairy turned around and smiled at him, he woke up startled 'mom?'.
