Chakor shooes of her memories and goes to get ready. She dresses up in a formal attire ,applies a light makeup and putting her black heels she turns to move out of her appartment. She makes her way to the drawing room and reaches for the main door keys kept in a adjacent drawer. As she picks up the keys ,her hands reach for a photo placed in the drawer. She runs her fingers over the photograph. Seeing this photograph every morning, revived all her old memories as if all her wounds were dug afresh. Seeing his smile , which once was her sole reason to live now became her biggest pain. She pretended to herself that she hates him yet everyday while picking up the keys she atleast once caresses his photo. A lone tear escaped her eyes as she put the photo back in drawer and took the keys and left.
While she sat in the car, her phone ringed. The caller id flashed to reveal the caller id as Vivaan.
She picked up the call using her bluetooth and started driving the car.
Vivaan: Good morning Dear
Chakor: Good morning Vivaan
Chakor: Vivaan itni subah call kiya? Kuch kaam tha tumhe?
Vivaan: Haan actually maine tumhe puchne ke liye call kiya tha ki tumhari car repair se vapas aa gayi kya? nahi ayi toh main tumhe pick kar lunga office ke liye.
Chakor: Haan woh car aagayi repair se tum fikar mat karo main aa jaungi.
Vivaan: Okay fir theek hai. Carefully drive karna and agar kuch bhi problem ho toh ek baar call kar dena.
Chakor: Thank you Vivaan, For always being there for me.
Vivaan: Bas yahi baaki reh gaya tha na apni hi best friend se thank you sunna.
Chakor: Acha bas no thank you. Now I am driving , so see you in the office.
Vivaan: Bye.
No matter how much he hides, his love for Chakor is always visible in his eyes. They had known each other from five years now. Though she was his brother's fianc when he first saw her, yet he fell from that very moment for her beauty and simplicity.
Over this many years, for Chakor her bond with Vivaan grew as a best friend but for Vivaan he fell for her more and more with growing time. Vivaan respected the fact that Chakor was Suraj's wife and fiance but with their separation he felt this was a chance to prove his love. Over two years of separation of Suraj and Chakor he has been there for Chakor everytime she needed him whether it be shifting to a new city or finding a new job , he was there with her at each step . He never directly confessed his feelings for Chakor as he knew Chakor was still not over with Suraj yet , so he wanted to give her time to accept him.
Vivaan reached office first. He decided to wait for Chakor in the parking lot. He was busy with his phone when Chakor stepped out of her car and called him. Seeing her, once again took toll on Vivaan's senses.
Vivaan (in his mind) : Each time I see you, I fall for you even more. I love you Chakor, but when I'll be able to say this to you.
Chakor: Vivaan kahan kho gaye tum.
Vivaan: Nahi...Kahin bhi nahi...
Chakor: Sorry woh hum late hogaye, aaj subah der se uthe isliye.
Vivaan: No problem, Vaise agar tum roz itni sundar dikhogi toh poori life tumhare liye wait karne ko taiyaar hu.
Chakor: Bas ab yeh flirty nature thoda office ki ladkiyon ke liye bhi toh reserve karke rakh do.
Vivaan was one of the most handsome boy of the office. Girls used to drool over him. He was used to getting all the attention from the girls as he walked in the office. But his heart still only beats for Chakor. This was the reason why most girls were jealous of Chakor. However, Chakor never knew this reason.
Both of them headed towards Mr. Ahuja's cabin as they recieved his message to meet him in his cabin in 5 min. As both of them entered the cabin Mr. Ahuja greeted them with a welcoming hug.
Mr. Ahuja: My two brilliant employees I am proud of you.
Vivaan: Sir you tell this daily par aaj itna zyada khush hone ka koi special reason ya phir Mrs. Ahuja ke aloo parathe ka kamal hai.
Mr. Ahuja: Aloo ke parathe bhi aur hamari new scheme ki success bhi. Woh hamari last scheme mein saare flats almost book hogaye hai woh bhi all at the decided price. Congratulations to you both
Chakor: Thank you so much Sir.
Vivaan: Thank you Sir. Par itni badi scheme ki success sirf itni choti si congratulations se and vaise bhi yeh hamari akele ki nahi poore team work ka effort tha.
Mr. Ahuja: Ofcourse not my boy, Iski success itni grand hai toh ek grand party bhi toh banti hai na celebrations ke liye. Iss weekends, mere farmhouse pe saare employees ko meri taraf se grand feast.
Chakor: Aap jaise Encouraging boss ho toh employees ka bhi toh efficient hona banta hai na Sir.
Mr.Ahuja: And ab aapka yeh encouraging boss chahta hai ki aap dono jald hi hamare next project pe work shuru kar se. Saari data sheets jaldi prepare kar dijiyega.
Chakor & Vivaan (together): Next project?!
Mr. Ahuja: Yes next project and iss baar tum dono alag projects pe kaam karoge with different teams.
Chakor: Sir, par hamari toh abhi ek hi project pe research shuru hui hai na toh fir do alag project kaha se aaye.
Vivaan: Exactly, Sir.
Mr. Ahuja: Vivaan, actually main chahta hu Mr. Kapoor ne jo hume location suggest ki thi for a mall, woh tum jaake ek baar inspect karo in Delhi for our joint venture with Kapoor Industries. Main iss matter mein completely trust nahi kar sakta hamare newly made partners pe and kyunki hamara yahan Lucknow mein already ek project start ho chuka hai toh Chakor ka yahan rehkar yeh project ke finances sambhalna bhi zaroori hai.
Vivaan: Par Sir woh project toh hum 6 months baad take over karne wale the na
Mr. Ahuja: Yes par as hamare paas resources bhi hai and work force bhi toh abhi hi ispe work karna beneficial hoga. And don't worry tumhara trip toh sirf 8 days ka hai just to make proper record of our expenditure on this project. Tumhare rehne and all arrangements are made by the company. You will leave for the project next week.
Vivaan: Okay sir (With a dull face)
Mr. Ahuja: And Chakor humari Company ko kal se ek naya senior architect join kar raha hai. Suna hai he is very efficient in his work and kaafi well known banda hai. He is coming from New York tomorrow. I want u to team up with him for our new project.
Chakor: Okay, Sir.
Taking a leave from their boss ,they walked out of his cabin. Vivaan seemed to be gloomy after hearing about his sudden trip without Chakor.
Chakor: Kya hua Vivaan itna sad kyun ho rahe ho sirf 8 days ki toh baat hai
Vivaan: This is the first time I am working without you. And kya pata tum uss naye bande se itni comfortable ho jao ke mujhe bhul hi jao. Kahi mere absence mein tumhara uss naye bande se dil lagane ka toh plan nahi?
Chakor: Haan ofcourse btw tumhe kaise pata chala? (In a joking tone)
Vivaan suddenly gripped her shoulders
Vivaan: Ab main tumhe kabhi kisi aur ke haathon nahi khone dunga. Tum sirf meri (he suddenly realised what he was doing and he left her) ...best friend ho and meri hi rahogi and suddenly broke into laughter.
Chakor: Haan woh toh main sirf tumhari hi best friend rahungi.
Vivaan hugged Chakor at that moment ,Chakor thought it as a friendly hug and hurriedly hugged him as if to get over that hug as soon as possible. After all, The only person in whose arms she felt bliss was her husband
Soon they parted their ways and went to their respective houses.
