2. Something New And Unexpected
Morning came with the light and warmness of sun and spread it everywhere. Few rays of sunlight also fall on Ayesha's beautiful soft face who was sleeping while leaning on the pillow. She opened her eyes and fined herself sleeping in a sitting position. She realized that while the part of the night she was thinking about Rathore she would have fallen asleep. The memories of last night flashed on her mind. The drive with Rathore, knowing a little more about Rathore and some secrets of him which may be no one else knew. Though he shows that he is a tough and a sort of angry man but a part of his heart is very soft and slowly-slowly this has started attracting Ayesha towards himself.
Ayesha looks towards her hand on which she was wearing a silver color bracelet with a design of not so big or not so small just a perfect size bow on it. It was simple yet fashionable like the way Ayesha like things to be. But the prettiest thing was that it was a gift to Ayesha from Rathore last night.
She was looking towards it and then touched it remembering the way Rathore put it on her hand.
Mrs. Kapoor: [Shouting from kitchen] Ayesha its 6:30 dear. Get up otherwise you will be for your office.
Ayesha snapped out of her day dreams and quickly rushes towards the bathroom to get ready but before that she keeps that bracelet on her dressing table carefully.
After about half an hour she came out of the bathroom wearing white top and black jeans. She stood at the front of mirror and starts to comb her hair. She tied her hair through a rubber band into a pony tail but after few minute she decided to keep her hair open. She looks towards that bracelet and wear it again. She went near the door to move out of the room but through the window near to the door she saw Rathore leaning on the car just at the front of her house. She was blushing at that moment. It feels something new and beautiful.
She rushed down stairs and finishes her breakfast as fast as she could. She was in such hurry that she didn't even bother to sit and eat. After all she doesn't want Rathore to wait for her anymore.
She came out of her house and the both exchanged a smile. Rathore was so happy to see her. They both sit on the car and then Rathore drove to ETF office.
7:30 am ETF office [Conference Room]
Shree: Where are all of them? [He looks towards his watch]
Sakshi: Relax shree. They would be coming.
Liza: [entering inside the conference room] hey guys. Where are others?
Shree: god knows where they are. From last thirty minutes we are waiting for them. [Totally annoyed]
Suddenly, they saw Riya entering the conference room. Both Sakshi and Shree's faces lit up and both of them stood up. Obviously, Sakshi has told to shree what she saw last night in Arjun's cabin and so they decided to tease Riya on it.
Sakshi starts to walk away from shree when shree holds her hand and they both start the act.
Shree (As Arjun): [Teasingly] Riya, please don't go anywhere. I can't live without you my love.
Sakshi (As Riya): [acting to shy and said softly] oh no sir. Leave my hand. If someone will see us like this what he will think about us?
Shree (As Arjun): [He pulls Sakshi closer to himself and again in the same tone.] let others think what they think. I don't care about them. The only thing I know is that I love you a lot and don't want to stay away anymore. Just look into my eyes and you will know how deep mu love is.
Sakshi (As Riya): [Looks into Shree's eyes] no. I can't. I need to go. My parents would be waiting for me.
Shree (As Arjun): you care about someone who will see us. You care about your parents. Don't you have any place in your heart for me who care about me?
Shree was not able to control and he started to laugh very loudly. By seeing him Liza and Sakshi also starts to laugh.
By the time Ayesha came inside the office with Rathore both e was having some work so he went to his cabin. Ayesha was walking through the corridors with a huge smile on her face. She was blushing but then she realized the place where she was and so stop to smile and blush anymore. She looks here and there to see if someone was looking her smiling for no reason and thankfully not.
Ayesha reached to conference room and saw all three of them laughing. She stood beside Riya and was having a smile on her face to see how badly all three were laughing.
Ayesha: hey, why you all are laughing.
Shree: [To Sakshi] Sakshi, let's show her also.
They both were about to start that act again. But no one noticed Riya who was fuming with anger and she finally bust at both of shree and Sakshi very loudly.
Riya: [loudly] stop it! Just stop it! What you both are trying to say through this act, that me and that Hitler are in love with each other.
All of them became silent. Ayesha and Liza shocked. Shree and Sakshi were looking down as they realized that this has hurt Riya very much. She was just staring towards both of them.
Riya: [Fuming with anger] how dare you to think about me and Arjun sir like this. I just ate that person, his attitude. He doesn't deserve the love of any of the girl. There is a limit of joking and teasing and you have crossed it. Mind you, I don't want any more this sort of joke or otherwise it will make you pay very heavily.
There was a pause. No one was saying anything. Riya was keeping on staring towards both of shree and Sakshi. Liza and Ayesha exchanged a glance and they both were about to say something when an unexpected thing happen and everyone became shocked to see that.
Riya was laughing as loud as loud as she could. She was not able to control her laughter. Everyone was shocked to see her laughing like this. Shree and Sakshi were starting towards her with wide eyes. They were not able to believe what just happening now. Liza and Ayesha were having a big smile on their faces because they understood that all the anger of Riya was fake and it was to make Sakshi and shree scare.
Shree: hey, you scared us.
Sakshi nodded to this.
Riya: [Still laughing] so what you think I will really scold both of you like this. [Stop laughing] but seriously, me and Hitler. Never. It's impossible.
By the time Rathore entered inside the room. He was happy to see everyone laughing and giggling. He was much happier to see the beautiful smile on Ayesha's face.
Both Ayesha and Rathore exchanged a smile and other witnessed this.
Shree: [Naughtily] what happen sir?
Rathore: [confused] what happen?
Shree: Sir, you and Ayesha were smiling looking towards each other. So I thought something would be there so I asked.
Ayesha and Rathore felt a bit shy to this and others were hiding their smile on Shree's naughtiness. Ayesha passed her an angry glance to make him quite.
Suddenly, Arjun entered inside the room with his same boring rude looking face. He was wearing a black shirt with folded sleeves till elbow and blue jeans and was looking awesome in it today. For the first time Riya liked his fashion sense. "Black makes him look nice."Riya thought to herself.
Arjun: I have a plan [Rathore shook his head which states that he was already aware of the plan]. For this we hate to go to that hotel again. We will find the culprit there only.
10 am Hotel Alpha lobby
Everyone was on their positions. They all were spread in whole lobby. Rathore was sitting on the couch with a magazine which he was pretending to read. Shree was acting as if he is talking to someone in his phone. Ayesha and Sakshi were talking to each other and at the same time looking around secretly to see if the person they all are waiting for has arrived or not.
Arjun was moving from one point to another and again and again he was looking towards his watch. Though others are waiting for some person but Arjun was waiting for someone else also.
Suddenly, Riya entered inside the hotel. All ETF members were looking towards her and they were shocked to see her.
Sakshi: [whispering to Ayesha but looking towards Riya] what a beautiful saree!
Ayesha: [looking towards Riya's saree] I love the purple color of the saree. It's so beautiful.
Yes, Riya was wearing a beautiful purple saree and she was looking very beautiful in it that Arjun was also motionlessly staring at her. His expression was something like "Wow". Obviously it was his plan but he was not having any idea that his plan will be so beautiful and cute and lovely.
Riya came and stood at the front of Arjun who was still staring at her.
Riya: [whisper to Arjun] so, shall we start sir?
Arjun just shook his head. He was lost in his own world.
Riya came a bit closer to him, make an angry face and gave a tight slap on his right cheek dragging him out of his day dreams into the real world.
