Armaan's POV:

I screeched the Mercedes tyres on the mud outside the parking area of the office and pulled out the car keys, handed over them to the watchman and while fixing the coat I entered the office. I remembered the last night rain when she was drenched in search of the cab and I offered the lift to her.

She was shivering, sitting beside me and especially when I fixed the seat belt. I kept walking the pathway of the office, when everyone was wishing me, morning but I was crossing the path of the corridor. My whole concentration was on Shilpa.

I tried to distract myself from her. So I started arranging my tie when I realized how innocent was looking she when I adjusted the seat belt. The water droplets adored her face as if they were on the fresh rose.

A smile creep automatically on my face and I was really near to my cabin, passing the corridor when I collided with someone, very light and delicate.

She was about to fell on the floor when I caught her in between and managed to not let her fall on the floor, flat on her face.

Shilpa's POV:

My eyes were tightly closed as my feeling was I was on the floor, but when I opened my eyes slowly, I found myself leaning in his arms and he has protected me again, as always.

I kept looking in his ocean blue orbs, they were so fascinating that I literally wanted to kept looking in them and don't look anything else. But a wind wave took me back to my senses, making m spine shiver, and he too started looked here and there after making me stand on my feet, carefully.

"Umm! Care-careful, he might be searching for the words.

So was I, "Sorry...I mean thank you... I mean both

He calmed me down and said, "Chill!, and marched to get inside his cabin.

I bit my lower lip, closed my eyes and muttered, "silly me

I collected the files lying on the floor of mine and entered to my cabin.

I was trying to keep my attention at the work but I was up to something else. The past night and the recent incident were distracting my mind from the work.

I still remember how I was imagining him with me in the rain, getting drench and dancing, then in my room as if I wanted to spend time with him. This was the only thing which wasn't getting out of my mind, "Why am I thinking about him constantly? And if I don't want to think then why does he come to my thoughts? Why is he becoming so important to me?, so many questions were there in my mind and I wanted their answers.

Riddhima's POV:

"Riya! Please arrange some agency and make my car toe from ... this address, I wrote an address on a piece of paper and ordered to my PS.

"Sure ma'am, she took a bid.

I still remember that guy what's his name, yeah... Siddhanth Modi, offering me the lift after my car's puncture. Initially, I thought he is not a nice guy and I should get away from him, but after yesternight I realized that no, he is not bad, after all he helped me lot.

"Silly me! Kuch bhi sochti hu, and I get back to my work again when someone knocked my door.

"Hey! I welcomed her, it was Shilpa smiling on my door.

She came inside and I offer her a seat when Riya again entered and informed, "Ma'am. Your work has done. XYZ Company is going to toe the car from the particular address

I smiled being impressed from her, "Good job, itni jaldi kaam kar diya tumne mera, and thank you, she smiled back and left the cabin when Shilpa asked me, "you need to toe your car? What happen?

I narrated the whole incident of the last night, what happen and how Sid helped her lot by dropping her to her bungalow, and how she was wrong about Sid.

"haahah, Shilpa laughed a little.

"Why are you laughing?, I clueless asked.

Shilpa smiled and said, "this is what Sid is, my best friend, so helpful so kind

"I understand. Best friends hote hi aise hain, I thought about Armaan without realizing that on the other side co-incidentally my best friend has given lift to her.

She was all lost in her thoughts so I asked about what she was thinking, "kya hua?

Shilpa's POV:

I was still thinking about him and the moments I spent with him which Riddhima noticed, "Kya hua?

"Nothing. Was just thinking something, I gave a lame excuse and tried to change the topic, "you just check the accounts thik hai ya nahi, if they are..., but she intervene me.

"Haan, now just don't change the topic haan, she sarcastically said and continued, "Tell me what happen? Kya soch rahi ho?, she was so excited while asking but I just wanted the solution and reason of my problem.

I fake smile, "Kaha na kuch nahi tum accounts check karo

I thought in my mind, "Is it right to ask Riddhima? No. pata nahi pagal na samjhe mujhe.

"Haan don't try to hide the topic and tell me what happen, she excitedly asked.

"Promise me you want tell anyone, I whispered locking the cabin at which she laughed.

"Okay okay fine, agreed she.

I narrated everything, "Mujhe na koi har jagah dikhta hai

"Possessed ho kya?, she chuckled.

I hit her palm at which she giggled and said, "Okay har jagah dikhta hai? Kabhi bhi kahi bhi

"Yes, I replied.

"Oh my darling Shilps, you are in love, she mocked and told.

I rolled my eyes and said, "Not at all

"To madam phir aap pagal ho gayi hain, she retorted.

I left the cabin all lost how should clarify this question when I passed through the Armaan's cabin and stopped for a while when I heard my name.

"Shilpa, please order a coffee for me, without looking at Natasha he asked for a coffee, I was going to blast with laughter but controlled.

Natasha was fuming with anger, "Sir Shilpa was your ex-PS. I am Natasha, she corrected him.

"Oh I am sorry, he apologized and she ordered for a coffee for both of them.

When the peon took the coffee I hid, somewhere in the corner, "May I come in, he asked at which he allowed, "Come Shilpa, at which Natasha blasted with laughter. I was feeling as I should hit her with my sandal.

"My name is banwari, not Shilpa, the peon corrected him and Armaan again hit his head, "I am sorry

The peon kept the coffee on the table and left when Armaan said, "Please have a coffee Shilpa

Natasha greeted his teeth, "Shilpa shilpa shilpa! I am Natasha

"I am sorry Shil- I mean Natasha, I almost laughed at this and was about to leave when he said, "Actually ek baat share kar sakta hoon please don't share with anyone, which stopped me.

"Aajkl mujhe aage piche upar niche bas wahi dikhti hai I don't know what has happened to me, he snapped his head.

I was stunned that his and mine problem were same.

"Really. Does Riddhima Maam knows it?, she asked excitedly.

"No, he lamely said.

She pressed her lips, "Ab Sir ya to aap pagal ho gaye hai ya pyaar mein ho gaye hain

"What nonsense?, he clenched his jaw.

I was stunned when she said that because I knew that I couldn't be in love with this man.

"I am sorry but this is true. Pyaar mein aise hi to hota hai, she smiled.

I nodded my head negatively and he too said, "No I don't believe this

"As you wish but true, said she and left.

Armaan's POV:

"Is it true what Natasha has said?, thought I and persuade myself by saying, "Not at all. I love Ridz. She is my fiance after all.
