*.:: CHAPTER 6::.*


~ The one in which their friends can't believe they are friends~

'Shantanu, are you ready for the meeting?'

Shantanu looked up from his file and smiled seeing Rohan, 'so you have finally returned from your extended stay in Shimla, how was it?'

'brilliant,' Rohan sat on the chair as he recalled the last week in Shimla with Tashu, 'you should also get a girlfriend just so that you can have a great holiday... waise bhi tu machine ki tarah kaam karta rehta hai! Shimla se bhi aa gaya tha...'

'haan woh Sameera ka phone aaya tha ki clients jaa rahe hai aur Monday ki meeting Sunday ko shift ho gayi isliye.'

'waise...'

'kya?'

'What is between Khanak and you?'

'why Rohan?'

'nothing she just looked a little disappointed when she got to know you left in a hurry.'

Shantanu smiled, 'that's because i left her stranded with you and Tashu, the love birds...'

'please! hum log itne bhi lovey-dovey nahi hai!'

'buddy I hate to break it to you but, you and Tashu are inseparable! God dance karte hue dekhna chahiye tum dono ko! Woh kya kehta hai?... ek doosre ki aankhon main kho jaate ho tum dono!'

'fine! Waise meeting ke liye tu ready hai na?'

'Rohan tu bhool gaya hai kya ki tu Shantanu Khandelwal se baat kar raha hai, I'm always prepared.'

'ya... sorry main do minute ke liye bhool gaya tha ki I'm talking to a workaholic... anyway main Akshay bro se milkar aata hoon.'

'fine. Ah ... Rohan, mujhe Khanak ka number message kar de, I forgot to take it, and I haven't talked to her since a week.'

::::

'we haven't talked in a week Tashu, ever since he left Shimla... but why are you asking if we talked or not?'

'I just wanted to know tum dono ne decide kya kiya?'

'Tashu! I told you we are friends!'

'Khanak tu pagal hai, tum dono PAGAL ho!'

Khanak looked at the phone in her hand with disbelief, then put it back to her ear, 'kyun?'

'Because both of you decided to be friends!'

'why? can't a girl and a guy be just friends?!'

'Please! I'm not one of those psychos who thinks guy and a girl can't be friends! I am talking about just you and Shantanu because both of you can't be "just friends"!'

'and why is that Ms. Expert on relationships?'

'Because Khanak you both have chemistry! Tujhe pata hai tum dono jaisi chemistry ke bare mein log sapne dekhte hai! And both of you are throwing it away!'

'what rubbish! And you haven't even seen us together!'

'no we have.'

'we?'

'haan woh jab Shantanu friendship propose kar raha tha toh main aur Rohan tumhare taraf hi aa rahe the, the horses were having their grooming done that's why...'

Khanak smiled at the re-collection of shan going down on his knees.'

'uh ma'am?'

'yes Meher?'

'editors meeting in twenty minutes.'

'okay thanks.'

'Tashu I have to go, editors meeting in twenty.'

'theek hai, I will call later.'

'bye.'

Khanak sat on her desk and called Meher in the office.

'yes ma'am?'

'please, call Aditi and tell her I want her story in two hours, otherwise she can forget it, and tell Sanjay that I like his notes and he should keep going with the research before he starts writing the article, and ...'

Her phone rang, 'one minute,' she picked up to see who was it, but an unknown number flashed on the screen, 'god I hope koi stupid call centre call na ho', she whispered to herself before taking the call, 'hello?'

'I hope tum busy nahi ho...'

'Shaan?'

'Good guess.'

'ek minute ruko,'she looked at her assistant, 'Meher I will take this call, just talk to Sanjay and Aditi okay?'

'I hope you are not angry that I left without saying bye.'

'No that's fine, Akshay and Rohan did tell me about your workaholic nature after you went, I was just a little upset 'cause you left me with the two love sick puppies, AKA our friends.'

Shantanu laughed, 'I said the same thing to Rohan, anyway I have a meeting in ten, so I just wanted to ask if you want to catch some dinner, we haven't met in a week, we can catch up...'

'sounds good, so let's meet at chopsticks at eight?'

'Chinese huh? perfect. '

'bye and good luck for the meeting.'

'thanks Khanak.'

::::

'Hello Khanak Kapoor, how do you do?' Shantanu sat on the chair opposite to her.

'hello Mr. Shantanu Khandelwal, I am fine thank you very much.' Said Khanak with a smile.

Shantanu took of his trench coat, 'god itni thand hai, I froze to death just walking till here from the parking lot!'

'ma'am your sparkling wine. Sir what can i get you?'

'scotch please. Single malt.'

Khanak smiled.

'kya hua?'

'nothing mere dad bhi hamesha yahi order karte hai.'

'really?'

'hmm... once I forced him to order wine...'

'kyunki woh tumhari favourite hai?'

'nahi, I'm more of a apple martini person, wine is a close second, but uss waqt we were celebrating my getting the job in Delhi, he didn't even touch his glass!'

'so you aren't from Delhi?'

'nope.'

'no wonder, main sooch hi raha tha ki itni khoobsurat ladki se mein pehle kyun nahi mila?'

'kyun tum delhi main rehne wali har ladki ko jaante ho?'

'nahi, only the good looking one's.'

' that is so mean Shantanu Khandelwal!' she threw her table napkin at him.'

'tumhe jealous hone ki zaroorat nahi, tum sabse zayada khoobsurat ho.'

'I am confused now, should I be happy you called me beautiful or should I feel offended for the rest of the Delhi girls.'

'ah! They won't mind.'

'Sir you scotch, single malt.'

'waise Shan, I have a question.'

'hmm?'

'tum workaholic ho...'

'grade 1 workaholic...'

'hmm... toh tum ladkiyon se flirt kab karte ho? Tum parties main jaate nahi, nahi kissi bhi social event mein...'

'Rohan aur Akshay bhai meri kaafi tareef ki hai.'

'unse zayaada tumhari mom ne.'

'mom?'

'hmm... she and Maya aunty were quite upset.'

'mom ka samaj aata hai, apr Rohan ki mom?'

'hmm... dono ne milkar plan banaya tha na, matchmaking scheme, a weekend, Shantanu and Delhi's three most eligible girls...' she laughed.

'mujhe pata tha! It was a trap!', he took a sip of his scotch.

'toh?'

'toh?'

'Shan!'

'oh ya! Sorry, woh kya hai na Khanak, whenever I feel like having a relationship .'

'you mean one night stand?'

'no, I go out with a girl for at least a month...'

'so nice of you.'

'thank you, anyway Shantanu Khandelwal the most eligible bachelor, tag works it's wonder and i get a girl, I go out with her, but when she gets too serious i...'

'dump her?'

'yes, but I am sweet and gracious about it so as to not break her heart or anything... or at least break it sweetly...'

'Oh so kind of you!'

His phone rang, he saw the caller id, it was his father, 'I have to take this call.'

'oh it's fine, I will come back in minute.' She got up and went to the washroom.

When she came back Shantanu had finished his drink and had worn his coat again.

'sorry kuch kaam aa gaya hai...'

'it's fine... I'll finish my drink and go.'

'I will wait for you.'

'no it's fine, I'll pay, next time tum pay kardena.'

Shantanu smiled as he got up, 'that's a deal.'

They kissed each other on the cheek and bid farewell.
