ANYA (Anant&Navya) FF: Wo Peheli Baar.! NOTE on page 13

Hello all. I am a regular writer of Navya forums. I am starting this new post after so long. So this is for my regular readers and some new ones... ENJOY READING
*****

In the blink of an eye, everything changes. You meet a person and do not know whether they are going to be your true love or the only illusion you were making for so long. Life is a lot like movies whose characters are unpredictable and we keep on knowing them as we move forward. As life unrolls, surprises unravel to us...

*****

Ting...ting... Her cellphone rang again. Since so long she is hearing the tune of her cellphone ringing. But she is not bothered at all. All she was doing is running from one corner of the room to other just to collect her things and get ready for her evening plan. She moves towards her bed where her bracelet was kept, picks it up and wears it. She was looking pretty in her yellow one piece dress coming till her knees, with open smooth hair dark brown in color (she does not need to color it they are her naturals). She moves towards the side table where her small pearl earrings were kept and wears that too. She was simple and elegant.

Again her cellphone rang. And again she ignores it. She moves towards the mirror and darken her already applied Pink color lipstick. Suddenly her mother enters her room...

MEETA- navya.. what are you doing? your phone is ringing for so long. dekh to ritika hogi..

Her mother yelled at her because the ringing tune is now making everyone irritated at home.

NAVYA- i know it is ritika. But cant take it. If she found out that i am still at home she will come out of the phone and bark at me...

Said navya packing her handbag. Meeta nodded her head in disbelief. Again both of them heard the cellphone ringing but this time Meeta picks it up to which navya's eyes goes wide and she almost stops her.

MEETA- hey ritika..... ya.... ya she is here only.... ok..... you only ask her.... wait

Meeta hands the phone to navya to which navya makes a puppy face. She was evergreen girl used to make cute faces. Anyone can fall for her seeing her expressions, her laugh, he smile, her NAKHRAS...

NAVYA- hey darling...

RITIKA- To hell with your darling.. you know the time? its 9.. and at what time we have decided to meet for dinner?

Navya looks at her watch and smile innocently...

NAVYA- oh. i am only 1 hour late ritika.. I will be there in 15 minutes..

RITIKA- really? how will you travel from Goregaon to Andheri in 15 minutes that too with evening traffic? please suggest me i always get late for my office with this mumbai traffic...

Said ritika almost taunting to navya. Navya smile widely while meeta asks her what was happening.

NAVYA- sorry ritika.. really am sorry. please wait for me i will be there so soon... And please say sorry to ranbir too.. Cya coming soon....

Saying navya disconnects the call. Ritika looks frustrated at ranbir. Ranbir laughs at her

RANBIR- i told you. Tell navya almost 2 hours prior of our regular timings..

Ritika pouts at her boyfriend and folded her arms to wait for navya. They were waiting for navya since 1 hour sitting is THE DINNING restaurant.

Here navya pecks at meeta's cheecks and ask her not to wait for long...

MEETA- ache se jana and listen please dont be too late. you know your dad, he will get tensed.

NAVYA- ya mom. cya....

Navya bids bye to her mom and goes in the lift of her apartment. She goes in parking and unlocks her red WagonR, makes herself comfortable at driver's seat by fasting her seatbelt and drove herself to the restaurant where her best friend was waiting for her with her boyfriend...

***

To be continued....

Navya looks for ranbir and ritika as she enters in the restaurant. Ranbir wave at her and she almost runs towards them..

NAVYA- hey... Sorry for the late

Ritika looks furious at navya while she cutely smiles at her

RANBIR- it's ok.. tumhare ane Tak we had our lone time.

Wink Ranbir at ritika. Ranbir and ritika met each other at airport when Ranbir was moving for his meeting to Bangalore and ritika was moving to Delhi at her relative. After which they started seeing each other for almost 1 year. Ritika and navya were best friends since college. They studied together in Arts college. While navya goes in the direction of interior designing, ritika works in the department of designing clothes for a well known designer of the town. When ranbir proposed ritika after their 1 year of seeing, it was navya who approved for ranbir (as nothing can be done without best friend's permission). And it was another 2 years of their relationship since then...

RITIKA- you are so insane navya.. who do you think we are

NAVYA- sorry na baba ritika.. you know I have a lot of work these days. I got late from my office

Ritika just nodded her head in belief and smiled at her best friend

NAVYA- so Mr Singh. Order something for me.. I'm craving

Ranbir laughs at her and calls for a Waiter. They order some Indian food as navya is a huge fan of that food and cannot resist herself from eating these whenever she gets chance to eat by her choice. They have their normal talks until waiter bought the food they order. The buttery naan, panner pasanda and jeera rice to go. Navya's eyes lite seeing the much needed food for her stomach

RANBIR- ok so let us talk about that for which we are here

Navya looks at him as she take her bite of spiciest panner.

NAVYA- you both are getting married?

As soon navya said this ritika chocked. She had a glass of water and looks at navya in embarrassment

RITIKA- no... Not so soon

RANBIR- excuse me? Is it soon? We are dating each other since 2 years and know each other from 3

Navya enjoyed their talks as she got busy in her favorite food without disturbance

RITIKA- I'm only 23 Ranbir... I need at least another 5 years

Ranbir roll his eyes and again concentrated on navya

RANBIR- leave her . So navya I was talking about that offer.. my friend's new apartment....

NAVYA- Ya ya.. what about that?

Said navya licking her finger tips.

RANBIR- my friend had his new apartment recently. He is looking for an interior who can work for him. I suggested him for you

Navya looks at him and smile. She knows she is one of the good designers and she has achieve it in the starting of her career and she is proud of herself.

NAVYA- well thank you so much for this Ranbir.. I'll surely be meeting with your friend.

RANBIR- ya you've his appointment

Ritika and navya looks at Ranbir is amusements

RITIKA- is he a Dr or what? That his appointment is to be taken

Navya smile mockingly

RANBIR- no.. he's the owner of BAJPAYEE INDUSTRIES

As soon as Ranbir declared this both navya and ritika chocked and looks shocked. The bajpayee industry, which was one of the best industry of manufacturing medication, owner of it was friend of the one who is sitting in front of them

RITIKA- you're kidding ryt

RANBIR- why would I be doing that ..I'm serious. We are childhood friends. Recently he had taken a small apartment for partying in Bandra and wants it's interior to be done. He was searching for well known designer but I suggested navya's name to him

NAVYA- apartment for partying??

Navya was laughing in her head thinking about this insanely rich person who has bought a new house just for partying.

RITIKA- Kash.... Me uski hoti.... Aur wo Mera ...

Said ritika dreaming while Ranbir make a face at her. For which ritika pecks him at his cheek

NAVYA- so basically I've to meet him? As you've taken his "appointment". And when I've to meet?

RANBIR- tomorrow at 1pm.. here is his card. You've to visit in his office

Navya took the card from Ranbir. She read the name below- ANANT BAJPAYEE...

*****

It was next morning and navya was in her room with many papers and sheets spreaded all around. There was a knock at her door and her father enters to have a look at his younger daughter

DEEPAK- hey... What's all these

Navya looks at him and smile. When she gets her free time she occupies herself into her fourth love that is painting, first being her parents obviously, second being SRK (also obviously) and third being her work (not so obvious)...

NAVYA- hey Dad . Wassup. You are home at this time?

Asked navya looking at the wall clock which shows 11:30

DEEPAK- ya took a off today as navita will be coming at evening

Said Deepak coming towards her and sitting on bed. Navya's face lite up hearing about navita, her older sister, who lives in panvel with her husband

NAVYA- woww.. at what time?

DEEPAK- upto 5 I guess. But you've to go at bajpayee industry ryt?

Asked Deepak checking one of the painting of navya which was on bed

NAVYA- Ya.. I have to.. Ranbir already took the appointment. I can't deny

Said navya concentrating on the design she was moving her paintbrush into.

DEEPAK- you should be there. This is your biggest project uptil now.. hey what is that

Suddenly asked Deepak looking at the painting navya was making. It was a feather like structure

NAVYA- don't know. Just a random drawing. Isn't it great?

Deepak laughs at his daughter while navya kept on looking at the painting she drew just now...

***

To be continued...

NAVYA- excuse me...

Said navya to the receptionist present at the reception in bajpayee industry. It was a big office, literally a huge one. Navya and her assistant enters there checking at it's interior which was far far beautiful.

RECEPTIONIST- yes?

NAVYA- this is Navya Mishra. And my co worker Apeksha Sen.

Said navya indicating at appy who was present besides her

NAVYA- we have appointment with Mr bajpayee

The receptionist smile at them and checks in her laptop at her desk. She once again confirm their names and again looks at the screen

RECEPTIONIST- there is only navya Mishra written here. You don't have an appointment lady

Said the receptionist looking at appy

APPY- but I'm her assistant. Why there is a need for me to take a separate appointment?

Asked appy looking amused

RECEPTIONIST- sorry ma'am. We've certain rules here

The receptionist really felt sorry for them. Navya makes sure appy to wait for her here as she'll be going herself into his cabin. The receptionist makes a call and one man , dressed in suit around her age only came near them

NAVYA- hello Mr bajpayee. This is Navya

Navya puts her hand forward. The man standing in front of her started laughing. Both appy and navya looks embarrassed

ADITYA- I'm not the one you're looking for. This is Aditya Verma, Mr bajpayee's secretary

As soon as Aditya said those words navya looks weird. She always assumed that the secretary of these big industry people is always a girl in her mini skirts with pony tail like thing who is next word for hotness who can entertain her boss when he is bored. But looking at a male secretary gives navya a positive impression for this Mr bajpayee.

NAVYA- oh I'm so sorry. I thought. ...

ADITYA- it's ok. Please come I'll take you to his cabin. This way...

Aditya indicated navya to follow him. As navya move forward she looks here and there at this whole office. She was amused looking at the interiors. The modern furniture, walls, showpieces were next word for beauty. They were just perfect at their places. She was feeling little scared now. How can he hire her for his apartment interior. She was just the beginner. In her 2 and a half year of experience she had only been through 10 projects, maybe 11th will be this. All she had designed till now is homes, offices, restaurants etc for people but never seen such thing before. She was damn scared. Aditya knocks the door of the cabin which was situated at the first floor of this building. The whole floor was occupied with his cabin , she thought.

ANANT- come in...

The hard and manly voice came from inside. Navya shivers by the voice. Aditya indicates her to get inside. She was shocked to know that she'll be going alone there which she was assuming as a lion's den. She step forward to enter his cabin. Aditya close the door behind her. Now she was alone with this stranger who she was assuming was a ruthless man. He was backfacing her doing something in his files, signing some sheets most probably.

NAVYA- ex.... Excuse... Me ..

Said navya almost in a low voice. The man turns around and for the very first time their eyes met....

WOH PEHELI BAAR....

JAB HUM MILE...

HATHO ME HAATH...

JAB HUM CHALE....

Anant bajpayee... The man in his 28 , the bachelor of the town. He was perfect in his masculine body. The black shirt fits him perfect.

HO GAYA YE DIL...

DEEWANA....

HOTA HE PYAR KYA...

KISNE JANA.....

Navya was froze.. she was looking innocent beauty in her purple top paired with blue jeans. The files and documents she were holding was loosing from her hand. She gain consciousness soon and breaks the stare from him. Anant moves forward at her.

ANANT- navya Mishra ryt!?

Navya nodded in agreement. Anant indicates her to sit and himself sat in front of her on his huge chair. She steps forward and sat in front of him keeping her handbag besides her and the files at table finally resting herself. While all this anant was staring her and making her uncomfortable

ANANT- hope so Ranbir, my friend, had atmost told you everything

Again she nodded. For the first time in her entire life she was so nervous. She is very confident and positive girl. She never gets scared of anyone and of anything. But today this man was making her feel scared.

ANANT- anything you want to say?

NAVYA- I've some of ..... My designs with.... Me.... You can check it...

She offers him to have a look at her file. He looks at the file and then at her

ANANT- what will I do by seeing those?

NAVYA- you'll get an idea

ANANT- and how does it will help?

Navya search for an answer. She takes the file back to her and again looks at anant.

ANANT- you have a look at my apartment and prepare some designs accordingly. Show me those in a week, if I like those we'll final you.

Navya just nodded in yes. Anant write something on the notepad and hands it to navya.

ANANT- this is the address. Will see you at evening there...

Navya looks at him in surprise

NAVYA- actually... It's not possible at evening. Tomorrow will it work?

ANANT- is there anything more important than your work?

Ask Anant giving her shivers...

NAVYA- my family

Said navya almost in a confidence. Hearing her Anant kept on looking and nodded lightly. She took the paper from him and put it in her bag.

NAVYA- anything else to go Mr bajpayee?

Anant opens his drawer and give a file to navya.

ANANT- these are some designs which can help you get my taste. Hope you'll understand it

Navya took the file and nodded in agreement. She gets up and take the leave from him while Anant kept on looking at her.

***

NAVYA- guess what....?

Shouted navya sitting in front of ritika who was working on her desk. Ritika looks at everyone in a sorry expression and then at navya

RITIKA- this is my office navya... please be quiet

Said ritika keeping her finger on her lip. Navya folded her arms and pouts. Ritika nodded in disbelief

RITIKA- tell me.. what's there?

Navya's face lite up. She composed herself to tell ritika everything what had happened in the bajpayee industry

RITIKA- what? Are you serious?

NAVYA- yes... For the first time in my 23 years of life, I was so silent. Didn't said anything before him. Oh man... What a grace he had

Said navya dreaming. Ritika laughs at her.

RITIKA- I too wanted to see him

Said ritika making a puppy face. Navya took ritika's laptop near her and started googling him.

NAVYA- there he is.. anant bajpayee

Ritika looks at the images and then at his information

RITIKA- oh boy he is of Ranbir's age.. he is so...... Hot...

Said ritika in excitement. Navya smile crazily. They kept on tracing him on social media and got very less to know about him. He was conservative and doesn't reveal much about his personal life. Only thing they got to know is the number if awards he received and what ever conferences he has attended and seminars he were chief guest of.

RITIKA- so boring profile..

Commented ritika and rest herself back to her chair. While navya makes face looking at her

NAVYA - you won't understand. All these business people have social media profiles like this only.

Defended navya while ritika smirks at her.

RITIKA- crush already? By the way what is the number?

NAVYA- I don't keep a count. May be I have crossed 100

Navya has a unique type of hobby, to have crushes. She has so many of them that she forgets the number. Once it so happened that she makes 3 crushes in a single day. But her Love was constant- Shah rukh Khan..

RITIKA- you are literally insane

Ritika nodded in disbelief at her. While navya closed the tabs where she searched for anant

RITIKA- wanna come for coffee? I'm moving home. So tired today

NAVYA- what did you do that you are tired? Oh wait.. you and ranbir were together last night hai na??

Smirks navya while ritika blush.

RITIKA- shut up.

NAVYA- I'm sorry I can't come. I've to move towards home. Di is coming and if she again doesn't find me to welcome her then you know her.

RITIKA- aww bechari..

Said ritika pulling navya's cheek. They both headed towards their respective homes...

***

To be continued...

Navita was 5 years older than navya and was married to gaurav for 3 years. The way navya is, bubbly Charming naughty and talkative, navita was just opposite of her, silent mature and not so talkative. Navita always dreamt to enjoy her life at her full but was not able to because of the silent features she had. She always looks at navya and say that whatever she was not able to do in her life is achieved and done by her little loveable sister.

NAVITA- So what's up with you these days?

Asked navita as both the sisters were relaxing and having each a cup of coffee.

NAVYA- working on a project. It's not finalized as such. First I've to design on paper and then if the "boss" likes then it will be finalized

Said navya making her fingers acts on the word "boss"..

NAVITA- why so apostrophe remark at the "boss" word

NAVYA- Yu hi. Nothing serious. Just as he is the boss of bajpayee industry or something

Navita's eyes goes wide by the mention of bajpayee industry. Somewhere she felt proud of her sister to work on such a huge project

NAVITA- bajpayee?? Woww.. you know who is he ryt?

Navya rolls her eyes showing that she is least interested. She don't want to show her "crush full" eyes to her sister

NAVYA- ya I have Google searched him. Well yet the project is not finalised. Tomorrow I've to visit his apartment and then design it on paper first

As soon as she told navita about her visit she WhatsApp to appy as she have forgotten her to tell.

NAVYA- wassup with you di?

NAVITA- relaxing at home and enjoying with my husband's money

Joked navita and navya laughs at her. As navita has dreamt to live life like navya, navya also dreamt to have a husband like navita. Gaurav was a perfect husband material and navya was praying so hard to get someone like him ..

*****

Anant was waiting for navya to come at his new apartment in Bandra. He was sitting at the back side of his black BMW. Aditya who was sitting at front besides driver looks tensed and was again and again checking his watch. He looks at anant who was expressionless staring nothing. But he knows that his boss is very very angry and fuming like hell. He gets scared of him. Obviously Anant is the personality of whom everyone gets scared, his office staffs specially. Suddenly they hear a red wagonR coming towards them. Navya and appy gets down from it and so as anant and Aditya from theirs.

NAVYA- hello Mr bajpayee

Navya puts forward her hand for a handshake but anant ignores that and started moving towards the lift. Navya looks confused at Aditya

ADITYA- rule number 1... Never be late, always be on time

NAVYA- excuse me.. it's 1:45.. time given was 1 but you can't predict mumbai's weather and traffic

Said navya looking at the raining environment. While Aditya just nodded in disbelief.

APPY- hey.. this is Apeksha.. you can call me appy

Aditya and appy shakes hands amongst themselves. All three moved towards the lift. Anant's apartment was on 14th floor. It was a very lavish and beautiful apartment having nothing inside it. Obviously this is the work for which navya was there. She looks at the whole apartment and was amused to see the beauty. Anant watched her doing that

NAVYA- may I ask you one thing Mr bajpayee. I mean just for a curiosity

Says navya moving towards Anant.

NAVYA- this apartment you've taken just for.... Doing parties?? I mean really?? My own flat where I live is smaller than this.

Said navya mockingly. Anant looks at her expressionless while Aditya jumps between to escape navya from his boss..

ADITYA- navya let's start from the master bedroom. You have a look everywhere and note down the points. Already you've a file with you so it'll be easy to guess what is needed and what not.

Saying this Aditya and appy started moving towards bedroom. Navya was about to follow them when her leg twisted and she was about to fall when anant holds her right arm. She looks side ways to find him near her, for the very first time. He was dressed in blue suit looking handsome and so so hot. Again her crush for him was getting deep. Whereas he was only busy in smelling navya. She smell so beautiful. In her red one piece dress she was looking a doll to him. Suddenly he makes her stand properly and her concentration brokes

ANANT- walk properly Ms Mishra

Saying anant moved towards bedroom while navya makes a face seeing his arrogance. Navya guided appy to write some points and she followed her boss. She was asking anant about what he want and what not but all answers were given by Aditya. Finally they completed their job

NAVYA- I'll mail you the designs till weekend.

Said navya packing her bag.

ANANT- no need to mail. Come in my office and show the hardcopies to me

Said anant rudely while navya smile thinking that she will again visit him.

NAVYA- so when I'm getting your appointment?

Asked navya to which anant make a face and started walking from there. Navya looks at Aditya

NAVYA- ab Kya galat bol Diya mene?

Aditya laughs at her while navya scrunched her eyebrows

ADITYA- nothing... Once you are done with your design just call me.. I'll inform you when to visit.

Said Aditya smiling and all of them left from there...

*****

To be continued...

APPY- are you serious? Ye tumne banaye he?.

Asked appy getting shocked and surprised at the same time sitting besides navya in her red wagonR while navya was driving.

NAVYA- ya . Why so surprise you are? Aren't they good?

APPY- good? I mean.. they are excellent.. very good.

Said appy being happy while navya smile at her.

APPY- but I'm little surprised. I mean ever since I'm working with you I've never seen these type of design. You're a great designer I know that but these came.... Naturally... By heart

Said appy looking at the each sheet she is carrying having designs of different rooms of anant's apartment. Appy was working with navya from 1 year. Navya was always been working independent but ever since she have met appy her work has been flourish more. Appy is intelligent and looks so with specs and curly hair always in her formal wears. She takes a good care of navya's work.

NAVYA- I hope he likes it too...

Said navya smiling and stops her car in front of bajpayee industry. They both get down and this time the receptionist permitted both of them to visit anant's cabin. They knocked the door and anant calls them inside. The moment navya looks at him she again gets stumped. He was busy in his laptop and not paying much attention to navya. Both the girls sit in front of anant waiting for him to speak. Navya was looking at him properly- his brown shirt was giving him sparkle, his cool and light beard, his perfectly aligned body, his lightly gelled hair, his sharp nose, his light pink lips, she was getting his fan more and more. Suddenly her stare gets over when anant looks at her. And now it was his turn to scan her- she was looking elegant in her white sleeveless kurti. Both of their stare interrupted by appy

APPY- good morning Mr bajpayee. Your designs are ready. Just have a check on it.

Appy hands over the file to him. He took some minutes to go through the designs. Navya was looking at his expression and was confused whether he likes it or not. After some time he looks at her.

NAVYA- are they ok?

ANANT- I love it...

Smile anant for the very first time infront if her. Oh she loved his smile. Though it was lite but she loves that.

NAVYA- thank you

ANANT- when will you be starting with it?

Asked anant again getting busy in his laptop.

NAVYA - may be from tomorrow

Anant nodded his head. He dials a number from his intercom and instructed Aditya to prepare testimonial and estimations discussing with appy. They both gets up to leave when anant also gets up and puts his hand forward

ANANT- welcome to my world Ms Mishra

Anant waiting for navya to shake hand with him. Navya was nervous to touch his hand for the first time. Slowly she put it forward and they touch each other . Chills ran through anant's body as soon as navya touch him. He takes his hand backwards while navya smiles at him. Both the girls leave from there .

*****

Navya was so happy and reached her home. She hugs Deepak and meeta and told them about her new project

MEETA- congratulations. I'm so happy for you

Said meeta getting emotional. Navya gave her a warm hug. Deepak also felt proud of his daughter.

DEEPAK- so what's next now?

NAVYA- have to start this from tomorrow. We have received our reporting timing at 10am sharp.

Said navya rolling her eyes. Anant had told navya and appy to work from 10 at morning to 5 till evening. Aditya has instructed them specially navya to be punctual as he knows anant last time has ignored but will fume the next time if they are late.

MEETA- why so early?

NAVYA- Mr bajpayee wants that. Anyway it's his apartment so we have to follow him.

Suddenly navya's cellphone rang. It was ritika

NAVYA- hey ritika... Wassup

RITIKA- we are meeting for a dinner at 8... And this time you've to be at 8. Understand?

NAVYA- hey I can't catch you tonight ritika. I've to start working at bajpayee's project from tomorrow so need to sleep early so that to wake early

Said navya making face. Meeta and Deepak laughs at her.

RITIKA- come on navya.. we will meet in goregaon only. And ranbir is going to Kolkata the day after so tomorrow we are busy...

Said ritika in a smirk for which navya laughs. Meeta asks her what was there but she nodded in disagreement

NAVYA- ok... Cu till 8 at Cafe de Laila...

Both the girls hangs up the call.

NAVYA- mom I'm going out on a dinner with ritika and ranbir

Said navya picking her bag and moving towards her room

MEETA- he bhagwan.. tu un dono ke bich kya karne jati he. ? Such a kabab me haddi you are..

Shouted meeta for which navya replied from her room

NAVYA- because I'm the love striker in their love story

DEEPAK- hope you get that one soon for yourself

Navya smile hearing Deepak said those things. She chose a black top and blue jeans for herself and gets ready for the dinner...

*****

NAVYA- chicken tandoori and butter paratha with it...

Ordered navya to the waiter.

RANBIR- I don't understand. You eat almost everything.. every healthy and unhealthy thing. But still you are so in figure. How's that ??

Asked Ranbir to navya for which she laughs and ritika pouts

RITIKA- I know what you are indicating at. Don't mess with me you Singh I'll kill you tomorrow

Said ritika pointing her finger at him for which he looks scared. Navya laughs at their cuteness

NAVYA- come on.. ritika is not that fat. And secondly coming back to your question... Mera to life ka ek hi funda he - khate raho aur khush raho...

Said navya making her hands in air. The waiter served their dinner to them. They started having it

RITIKA - how's your work going?

NAVYA- hmm starting from tomorrow. Sharp at 10 to 5...

Said navya making a face

RANBIR- navya.. I'm warning you. Be aware of anant. He is little.....

NAVYA- I know... I've met him 2-3 times and I can guess he's so irritated person

Said navya for which ranbir looks sad.

RANBIR- no it's not like that . He's a very nice person. Once you'll get close to him you'll understand him

NAVYA- why would I get close to him?

Ask navya little worriedly after ranbir mentioned about their closeness. Ritika smirk at her

NAVYA- oh ritika I'll kill you.... Kuch nahi tikta na Tere pet me

Navya fakes anger at ritika while she laughs. Ranbir looks serious

RITIKA- what happened to you?

RANBIR- it's a bad past for anant. At a very young age he had became mature...

Navya and ritika looks at each other and then at Ranbir again

RANBIR- he lost his parents and little sister in a road accident. His parents has died on spot but his sister was hospitalized about 1 week. At that time anant was 17 and did not have that money to cure his sister. Due to lack of good medication his sister died. Anant lost his whole family. And from then onwards he decided that he will not let anyone die due to this reason. And see today... He owns one of the greatest company for medication

As soon as Ranbir said those things navya and ritika became sad .

RANBIR- because of this incident anant has became hard like nut... But I know him. He need someone to be taken care of

NAVYA- tragedy is the new cool. Everyone's those who are rich are having painful past ...

RITIKA- you're not close to him? As in best friend types?

Asked ritika to get to know more about the anant bajpayee..

RANBIR- actually he's a kind of introvert. Lives in his own den. Besides me he doesn't have any friend. And after that accident he's not much close to me also. Just we talk about normal day to day things..

Navya goes in a thought after knowing so much about her new client who is her newly found crush and now turning out to be a man with so much of hidden stories ..

Oh thank you so much....

Navya and appy reached their site at the given time. Anant and Aditya were already waiting for them there.

NAVYA- hey... Exactly at your given time Mr bajpayee

Said navya smiling. Anant point out at his watch

ANANT- you are 2 mins late... It's 10:02 am Ms Mishra

Said anant arrogantly and moved towards lift. Navya's jaw drop while appy looks confused

APPY- is he alright? Mad or what??

Whisper appy to navya. And both of them follow towards lift

Navya makes all the workers and appy understand their job. She instructs them the designs and the work they've to finish till evening. She moves towards anant and Aditya

NAVYA- you don't have to stand here the whole day. They will do their job. I'll also leave in sometime

Said navya to Aditya. Anant looks confused

ANANT- what do you mean by that? You'll leave? Then who will look here?

NAVYA- appy is there. I don't have to stay here whole day. I'll come and check once at evening

Said navya looking at anant

ANANT- I've handed this work to you. Better you stay here and work accordingly Ms Mishra

NAVYA- excuse me... I have other things to do. This is not only project I'm having. I've to visit other sites also

ANANT- let your assistant do that. You stay here

Ordered anant in a harsh voice. Navya gets irritated and angry by his bossy behavior. Appy and Aditya were looking at both of their bosses arguing with each other

NAVYA- you know what... You are so bossy and arrogant

Said navya for which anant looks at her sternly. While Aditya was shocked at navya's sudden outburst

NAVYA- I'm not your regular employee ok. I'll work according to myself. Don't interrupt in my work...

Said navya staring straight into anant's eyes. Aditya was literally scared. Not because of navya's this side but because of the reply which anant will give. Anant indicates Aditya to follow him and both of them left from there. Appy moves towards navya

APPY- what was that?

NAVYA- what? We do like this in our every project. No one pinpoint us. Then why he? Is he some special?

Said navya folding her arms and sounding angry

APPY- but I thought you're interested in him

Wink appy for which navya looks shocked.

NAVYA- what??

APPY- what what?? I have seen both of you staring at each other

Navya becomes red hearing her

NAVYA- Ms Apeksha Sen. You better concentrate on your work otherwise you're fire...

Appy laughs at her and gets back to her work. While navya smile thinking about anant

*****

Anant was thinking about whatever happened some time back at his apartment with navya. He was sitting on his chair in his cabin playing with paperweight in his hand. He looks expression less. He took his cellphone and called a number

RANBIR- hey anant wassup...

ANANT- cool .. are you busy!?

RANBIR- not that . I can have a talk...

Answered ranbir. Anant was looking for some sentences before he ask ranbir about navya

ANANT- let's catch-up at night, my place. We'll have beer

RANBIR- anant actually I'm flying to Kolkata tomorrow. So night plan is already with ritika. What about evening? No beer but coffee??

Ranbir tried to preponed their plan but anant was least interested in that. All he wants to know and ask about navya

ANANT- how well do you know Ms Mishra?

Ranbir reacts shocked when anant questions him about navya.

RANBIR- Kon? navya?? Oh she's ritika's best friend. I know her from 3 years

ANANT- I'm not asking time period.. answer me what do you know about her??

Ranbir smirks when anant ask this.

RANBIR- ehm... She doesn't have any boyfriend... I know you're only concerned about this statement that she is single and ready to mingle..

ANANT- shut up... Happy and safe flight to you. We will meet once you return

Anant hangs the call while Ranbir laughs at his friend. Anant smile lightly but the thought of something else strikes him and his smile changes to hatred...

*****

At evening, navya was still at anant's apartment. She was looking into some sheets of white papers and instructing her workers about the objective. Anant enters there and looks at her.

NAVYA- leave this part for tomorrow. You all can leave now.

Instructed navya. Her eyes falls on anant and caught him staring her. Appy watched both of them. She moves towards navya and whisper

APPY- cu tomorrow. You enjoy your evening

Appy lefts from there. Navya took her handbag and moves towards anant. She was about to say something when he interrupt her

ANANT- coffee??

NAVYA- what??

Anant waited for her to answer. She nodded lightly. He moves ahead and she follows him. They both headed at parking where their cars were there.

ANANT- Aditya will drop your car at your place.

Said anant looking at Aditya who was waiting for them. Navya gave her car's key to Aditya and follows anant towards his car. She was surprised and shocked together to know that she will be riding in a BMW with her newly found crush. She occupies seat besides anant while he drives the car himself.

ANANT- what's summary for today?

Asked anant as they headed towards their destination

NAVYA- hmm work started. Guided everyone about what had to be done. You don't have to worry much. Your apartment will be ready within 2 months

ANANT- take your time. I'm not in a hurry

Navya looks confused. She was about to ask him the reason but stopped herself

NAVYA- Mr bajpayee.... Actually.... I'm sorry for morning

Said navya looking down..

ANANT- what happened in morning?

Asked anant concentrating on his driving

NAVYA- I... Shouted at..... You...

ANANT- you were doing your work. Not a big deal. If I would have been in your place I would have done the same

Said anant sternly while navya smile lightly. She was busy looking outside while anant was stealing glances at her now and then. He was now feeling like why he asked her for coffee. They reached one cafeteria

NAVYA- here??

Asks navya looking at the lavish and huge cafeteria which must be costing thousands for a single cappuccino

ANANT- you have any problem?

Navya just denied as she wanted to have a cup of coffee with this man so eagerly

They both headed at cafeteria and sat at a corner table. Anant indicates navya to order. She smiled and took the menu to have a check. Like a fellow she first check the cost of everything. Her eyes goes in wide looking at the so much costly coffees.

NAVYA- it's so costly here Mr bajpayee. At a normal coffee shop we can have 10 in the cost of 1 here.

Anant took the menu card to himself. He called the waiter and ordered their coffees

ANANT- 2 chocolate cappuccinos and 2 cheese sandwiches

The waiter left and anant looked at navya

ANANT- my treat... Don't worry

NAVYA- treat for what??

ANANT - for this new project

Said anant smiling. Navya was liking this type of anant. They both kept silent not speaking anything for a while. Suddenly navya started having a conversation

NAVYA- ranbir is your best friend ryt?

ANANT- ya.. we know each other since long

NAVYA- so both of you must be similar

Anant looks confused by this sudden question of navya

ANANT- Meaning?

The waiter brought their order. Navya waited for him to leave.

NAVYA- you have any girlfriend?

Anant was shocked at her sudden question. Navya waited for him to speak

ANANT- why you want to know?

NAVYA- I thought we are not only professionals but also emerging friends now. Are we?

ANANT- what? Only Professionals or friends?

Navya looks confused. She quietly had her coffee looking down. Anant smile at her.

ANANT- I had once.. but now I'm single

Navya looks at him and smile.

NAVYA- what happened?

ANANT- nothing.. just a bad relationship. Ya but taught me everything about love and commitments.

Navya gave him a ok expression and continued her coffee.

ANANT- what about you?

Navya laughs at him.. while he looked confused

ANANT- what?

NAVYA- I knew this was coming to me.. well I've uncountable number of crushes .. but only one true love...

Anant became sad somewhere listening this from her.

ANANT- oh nice... So when are you getting married?

NAVYA- he's already married. And he's not going to leave his wife ever.. coz he love her so much

ANANT- and still you love him? I mean... Please don't be a home breaker. It's just a suggestion

Navya laughs at him..

NAVYA- neither I want to be a home breaker. But Kya karu... Dil he ki manta nahi

Act navya dramatically. Anant feels amused by her this behavior. He wanted to ask his name but denied asking

NAVYA- Nam nahi puchoge??

ANANT- huh?.. what will I do ?

NAVYA- come on try it... You know him... Infact whole world knows him

Now anant looks more confused. He gives questioning look at navya.

NAVYA- the one and only... Shahrukh Khan.... My only love till now

Anant started laughing. Navya was looking at him without any expression. The very first time she was witnessing this type of anant.

ANANT- oh my God... You were talking about him... I got scared...

NAVYA- why you got scared?

Asked navya wanting to know about it. Anant became normal and looks around themselves if anyone was watching them. He again looks at navya who was still staring him and waiting for his answer.

ANANT- stop expecting anything Ms Mishra.

Navya nodded in disbelief. They both had a little talk about their work. After sometime anant dropped her home and drive himself to his house.

*****

Anant was resting himself on his bed. His lavish apartment was situated at Malabar hills in Mumbai. Though his apartment was huge but he doesn't have anyone to share it with. In his entire life he only had fallen in love with Sonia 5 years back. They were into serious relationship according to him. They dated for 3 years and when anant finally decided to propose her for marriage, she denied as she doesn't want any commitments. Later she revealed it to anant that she was with him only for his money and glamour. Anant was so heartbroken that time and swear to not trust any girl and make fool of himself again. 2 years had passed to this incident and till now anant is as hard like nut. His life played with him 2 times. First when he lost his parents and sister and secondly when Sonia backstabbed him. Suddenly his trails of thoughts broke when his phone rang. He picks it up

RANBIR- hey buddy... Wassup

ANANT- hey... You reached Kolkata?

RANBIR- ya... Just heading towards hotel. You tell.. how was your date with navya?

Asked ranbir in a smirk. Anant gets surprised and gets up from bed.

ANANT- date??

RANBIR- don't act.. you know these girls... Navya told ritika.. who discussed it with me.. and now I'm asking my best friend about it.

ANANT- aisa kuch nahi he ranbir.. it just happened unplanned.

Ranbir smile at anant.

RANBIR- wo to mujhe tab pata chalega when I'll be able to look at your blushing face

Anant looks surprised again as how did ranbir came to know he's blushing

RANBIR- don't worry.. navya is a nice girl. You can go ahead with her

Suggested ranbir to which anant looks sad.

ANANT- I'm not thinking anything like that ranbir. You know about my past. And I'm not sure whether I'll be loving anyone again or not.

Ranbir was about to say something when anant interrupt him.

ANANT- you meet me when you're back. Got to go now. Good night...

Anant cut the call.. ranbir nodded in disbelief...
