Chapter 8



Shaurya's pov 

After lunch I went back to my cabin. 

"Let's see what Ms Arnika has done." I said to myself and started to check the files.

I checked the files to see if everything was correct but some mistakes were there which were negligible. 

I called her inside.

"Yes Sir, " She came after knocking my door.

"Well , the work you have done was perfect." I said  and showed the mistakes so that she doesn't do it in future.  Although as a first timer she did a great job and within time .

"Okay, now you have to type the mails." I said to her and she nodded her head and started to type.

We did our work and it was already 8 pm when we finished it.

"So, that's all for today. We will meet Tomorrow. You can leave now. By the way, the coffee was amazing" I said smiling to Ms Arnika.

"Okay Sir. Thank you." Arnika said with a formal smile and left.

I completed my work and at around 8:30 pm I wrapped up and left for my home.

Arnika's pov 

I came out of my office and stood near the bus stop which is near our office , waiting for a bus.

After 10 minutes the bus came and I got in. The bus wasn't very crowded. 

I got in front of a grocery store which was 15 minutes away from her house.

I was buying my necessary items when my eyes fell on a married couple who were buying something. When The wife was filling her trolley,the husband looked around and pecked her cheek making her glare at him with blushy cheeks.

I looked at them and smiled .They looked so much in love . I silently prayed to God that they always remain like this .

I shook my head and stood in front of the cash counter .

After buying everything, I went towards my home .

I took shower and made my dinner. 

After having dinner ,I took a  novel which I was currently reading and laid down on my bed.

After reading for an hour ,I slept.

Shaurya's pov 

I went to my home and me and Papa had our dinner. 

Then I went back to my room and switched on the TV to watch a movie.

I was watching the movie when suddenly my phone rang. 

I picked it up without looking at the caller id.

Shaurya : "Mr Singh here…." 

Then I heard a girl's voice.

Girl : Hello Singhji.

I understood who she was.

Shaurya: Ohho….Diksha madam. So finally you remembered me,huh!!

Diksha : Aree Sir Sir Sir….How can I forget you?

I laughed hearing her dramatical voice.

Shaurya: So what's up?

Diksha : Everything is perfectly fine….just work makes me tired. What about you?

Shaurya: I am all good. 

Diksha : Listen listen, let me tell you what happened today.

This girl!!!! I laughed. 

She is Diksha, Dhruti's cousin sister.

Although she is  a bit crazy, she has always been a sweetheart. 

During Dhruv's marriage, the way we flirted with each other was just hilarious. After  that ,we exchanged our number and we clicked & now we are friends. 

Honestly speaking I don't have many friends. Except Dhruv I have a friend who is Samir who is Papa's business client's friend. But he is only a friend out of courtesy...not someone special. 

I have dated 2 girls after my first breakup but I am not friends with them.

So after Dhruv ,if I can call someone a friend it will be Diksha. 

We talked for almost an hour.

I hung up the phone to see missed calls from Shweta . She has been trying to call me for half an hour.

Before I could do anything, she called me back.

Shweta: Hi. Shaurya. What's up?

Shaurya: Hey. Fine. You called me so many times...what happened?

I asked Tensed as I thought something had happened. 

Shweta : No no everything is perfectly fine . Just thought to call you.

I nodded without responding. 

Shweta  : But you were busy with some phone calls...who was it?

I frowned my eyebrows hearing her query.

Shaurya: I was talking with Diksha.

Shweta: Oh that girl….I still remember  the way she was flirting with you throughout the wedding...She is too flirty for her own good.

I closed my eyes in irritation and anger. What does she mean ? I was also flirting with her….

Her tone clearly told me in which way she was indicating it . 

This girl is intolerable. 

Shaurya : For your kind information,we both were flirting with each other. It's nothing bad in flirty as long as it is harmless.  Whatever you are thinking about her just stop right there.She is my friend, I will not tolerate if someone speaks ill about her.

Shweta : I am sorry...I just.. .leave it. Okk. Good bye.

Shaurya: Bye.

I hung up the phone. 

She will never change. She will always be like this. Maybe she was a little polite and considerate,it would be good for everyone. 

I shook my head.She has already spoilt my good mood.

Shweta's pov

I hung up the phone feeling upset.

Somehow or other ,everytime I messed up things . 

I was so eager to talk to him so I called him after I had my dinner.

But for half an hour ,his phone was busy which irritated me a lot.

When he said that he was talking with Diksha ,I lost my cool. I really don't like her as she was continuously flirting with Shaurya.

Hearing him supporting her,I was irritated as hell.

But once again because of my anger,I destroyed my chance to ask him out for a date.

I am so doomed.

Here you go.

How's it?

Stay safe and healthy.
