Navya was in her office, working on her laptop. She heard a knock at her door and orders the one to enter.
NAVYA- come in..
A young girl enters with some files.
ARTI- ma'am, sir has forwarded these files ..
NAVYA- ya give me..
The girl leaves from there while Navya puts her laptop into the sleep mode and start checking the files.. To interrupt her, her cellphone rang and it was Ritika.
NAVYA- hey.. wassup..!!
RITIKA- I know you are very busy and I know that you've surely forgotten today's occasion. But it's ok, you have a habit of that. That's why I'm not been angry with you..
Said Ritika in a go without allowing Navya to speak anything. Navya looks little confused plus scared to think what she has forgotten. She checks today's date on the phone's screen and her eyes goes wide.
NAVYA- oh no...!!
She whispered closing her eyes while Ritika pressed her smile.
RITIKA- so.. I'm waiting...
NAVYA- I am so sorry Ritika.. you know what, I remembered till last week but then.. you know me ... I forgot..
Said Navya admitting her fault while Ritika laughs at her.
RITIKA- it's ok darling...
NAVYA- wish you and Ranbir a very happy wedding anniversary...
It was second anniversary of Ranbir and Ritika's marriage. And Ritika surely expected that navya will definitely forget to wish them.
RITIKA- well thank you. And I'll pass your wish to Ranbir too.. because at this time he's on call..
Said Ritika looking at Ranbir who was talking on phone with someone.
NAVYA- so..? What is the plan today.?
Asked Navya flipping the pages of the files in front of her.
RITIKA- we have arranged just a small get together. Actually this was the main reason to call you. I've informed Deepak uncle and meeta aunty by personally calling them. And now I'm personally inviting you too... Do come..
Ritika invites navya at her home. Navya first looks at the time then rolls her eyes to think if she has some important work to do.
NAVYA- aa..bb...Ritika... I....
RITIKA- listen.. I'm not going to hear anything from you. You have to come.. Anant and whole Bajpayee family is also coming...
Navya gets a smile at her face hearing this. But at the other moment a thought came to her mind..
NAVYA- Ritika.. did Anant wish you.?
RITIKA- yes.. at morning only. Why..?
Navya nods her head lightly but then frowns a little that Anant didn't remind her.
NAVYA- nothing..
RITIKA- ok.. now listen.. I don't know anything about your work and all.. you have to come.. also, there is an announcement we have to do...
Said Ritika smiling and blushing while Navya looks confused. She was about to ask her but then decided not to..
NAVYA- ya baba.. I'm coming.. I'll see you at evening then.. cya..
RITIKA- ya.. bye..
They both disconnect the call. Navya thinks for a while and immediately calls Anant. Anant was busy in his own work discussing something in his cabin with his co-workers.
ANANT- excuse me..
As he witnessed navya's name on call, he immediately pick the phone excusing himself.
ANANT- hey..
NAVYA- why didn't you remind me.?
Navya directly frowns at her while Anant looks at the two men sitting in front of him. He took his phone down and whisper to them.
ANANT- gentlemen, should we continue this in sometime.?
Anant ask for an excuse while the men nods at him agreeing. Both of them leaves his cabin and Anant gets back to Navya.
ANANT- ya so .. tell me.. what I didn't do..?
NAVYA- you didn't remind me that today is Ranbir and Ritika's anniversary..
Said Navya complaining while Anant smile at her. He scratch his head lightly thinking for an answer.
ANANT- I didn't do that intentionally navya.. it just got out of my mind..
Said Anant feeling apologetic as if he did a mistake by not reminding her. Navya makes faces and rests herself on her chair.
NAVYA- you should be sorry understand.. you know I'm very bad to remember dates..
Navya said sounding kid-ish while Anant laughs at her statement.
ANANT- Who would know more than me.. you've forgotten my birthday also.. and that too first after we got married.. remember..?
Navya smile lightly remembering the day. She has forgotten anant's birthday and when everyone in the family wishes him at morning, she came to know about it. She has apologized to him for this but Anant never mind those things. Ofcourse, he was expecting something surprising from his newly wedded wife, but it was rather a shock for him as she didn't remember his special day..
NAVYA- you're going to taunt regarding this for whole life or what.?
Asked Navya complaining while Anant laughs at her statement.
ANANT- nahi baba.. I was just telling you that, I know you..
NAVYA- ofcourse.. and I know you very well. Mr taunt-er...
ANANT- taunt-er?? What is that..
Anant's jaw drop and he looks confused by this new name..
NAVYA- the one who gives taunt. Like you.. Anant Bajpayee..
Anant nods his head in disbelief hearing her. After a moment Anant continued.
ANANT- ok then.. you are coming right ? At the get-together.?
NAVYA- ya I will.. see you there..
ANANT- ya.. bye..
They both disconnected the call getting back to their work...
*****
The Mishra's enters Ranbir and Ritika's house for the evening party. They have a small get-together party to celebrate their wedding anniversary with their close friends and family.
RANBIR- hello uncle.. hello aunty...
Ranbir and Ritika bends down to touch their feet to takes their blessings.
DEEPAK- god bless you both.. a very happy marriage anniversary..
Deepak and Meeta congratulated them by handing them a floral bouquet. While both of them thanks with a smile.
RITIKA- aunty, where is navita didi and jiju..?
Asked Ritika looking at back, trying to find them.
MEETA- actually Ritika, guests came to their house that's why they couldn't make it..
Said Meeta feeling apologetic while Ritika gave a pout.
RANBIR- no worries aunty.. aap ayiye na..
They welcomes them inside where the Bajpayee family were already there. Deepak and Om greets each other with a hug while meeta goes near the ladies.
MEETA- namaste maa-ji..
Meeta greets dadi who greets her back with a smile..
MEETA- how is your health.?
DADI- I'm doing good.. but what happened to you. ? You don't even come home..
Complaints dadi while meeta gave her a light smile.
SUGANDHA- yes meeta.. you are so busy these days or what?
Said Sugandha sounding angry while meeta gave a light laugh.
MEETA- no it's nothing like that. But.. I promise, we will soon be visiting there..
Said Meeta while Sugandha nods at her. Madhavi, Ranbir's mom, comes near them while Meeta gets up looking to greet her.
MEETA- oh namaste Madhavi-ji.. When did you come from Delhi.?
Ranbir's parents shifted to Delhi at their family house after his father's retirement. They used to visit their son and daughter-in-law occassionally. And today was the occasion when Ranbir's mother visited them.
MADHAVI- I came yesterday. How are you.? And.. where is Navya.? The most I miss is Navya..
Asked Madhavi smiling. She is a very sweet lady, who moves with the generation. Ranbir gets his cool attitude from his mother's side.
MEETA- she must be coming...
Answered Meeta. Navya parks her car at the parking area and gets down from the driving seat. She was looking elegant in her bottle green color strap kurta bottomed with ankel length pant and a silk dupatta. Her hair were kept open, wearing a emerald earrings with matching bracelet. She took her handbag from the other seat and locks her car. She started walking, when a stone comes under her right foot, giving a slight twist. She was about to fall sideways, only to be held by Anant. She looks at him who was holding her in arms by catching her waist while her hands were placed on his chest. Anant dressed himself in solid brown color casual blazer with white round neck t-shirt inside, paired with black jeans. Navya blinks her eyes, breaking the eye lock.
NAVYA- anant...
ANANT- you look beautiful. .
Said Anant suddenly for which Navya looks shock. They were still in that position, Anant not intending to make her stand.
NAVYA- huh..??
Navya ask getting confused which makes Anant realised his words. He nods roughly and helps her stand properly. She picks up her handbag which had fallen down when Anant tried to catch her.
NAVYA- thank you..
Said Navya looking at him while he was looking elsewhere, avoiding to look at her.
ANANT- never... Mind...
Said Anant smiling. After a moment, Anant indicates her to walk and Navya started walking while he follows her..
