"Blind date?"
"Seriously!!"
"When did it happen?!!"
"You on a blind date? When has sun rises from the west!!"
Reading the messages on the whatsapp group made by Avni after her wedding, Shanaya had no sense how to react.
The thought of Vihaan going on a blind date had snatch every sense from her body and mind. She felt numb and, it took a minute for her to realise someone was talking to her.
Oh yes, Ms kriti was standing in front of her, her face masked with confusion. .
She heard kriti asking " Are you okay, Ms Shanaya?" and felt the concern in her voice.
And, she knew the reason for her concern. She had ignored her like, for the last five minutes!
"Wow! the mere mention of Vihaan going on a date has made you knock to the death and, you think you are fine!" she heard her mind back to its sarcastic mood and, she could not blame it.
She had no reason to get affected by what Vihaan does and, she was sure the moment she had said "I love someone else" to Mr Khanna in front of Vihaan, she was moving on from him.
"I can see it, Ms moving, determined and, revengeful Shanaya!" quoting the words in the air, her mind interrupted, again.
Clearing her throat, Shanaya roams her hand on her hair and, spoke without looking at Kriti" Yes, I am fine, Ms Kriti. Was only thinking about something."
kriti seemed to buy the lie as she spoke again" Ms Kritika is here for the photoshoot."
"Oh, yes, I forgot about her, totally." standing up from her chair with hurry, Shanaya joined kriti and walked away from her office to the floor where she had arranged for the photoshoots.
"Is she ready?" walking along with Kriti, Shanaya enquired.
She was back to her professional mood or, to her distraction mood.
It was the only thing that had helped her ignored Vihaan for the last four months.
She remembers every moment they had been struck together late at the office because of work.
She remembers every moment she had felt his eyes on her and, she had looked at him in secret.
She remembers it all, but the words' Forget it, now' did not stop following her and, she knew what to do.
She knew to be strong whenever Vihaan would stand closer to her in an elevator or, would sit closer in the car.
Distracted in her thoughts, she walked along with Kriti and soon reached the spot, only to see the source of all the problems.
She saw Vihaan standing with Kritika at one corner of the room, and saw him laughing at something she had said.
Looking at him laughing with a beautiful girl make Shanaya suffocated and all she wanted was to grab some air. She had that possesive feeling all over her body, which she had never felt.
And the point that 'someone else' was no one else than his 'ex' made her feel angry.
She wanted to slap him hard for kissing her and, challenging her to forget, that day.
She wanted to curse at him for tossing with her and then going on a blind date and not to forget, flirting with her ex!
The thought of 'Blind date' did not make things easier. She could not believe he was going to marry someone!
Or she was not ready to believe it. The mere thought was terrible for her.
She might not be his, but, she was not ready to let him be someone else's.
"If you keep glaring at them, the room soon will be on fire" coming to stand behind her, Vansh looked at Vihaan with Kritika and than at Shanaya who was standing with her arms crossed and flaring nose.
"Excuse me!" furrowing her brows, Shanaya turned her attention to Vansh.
"In case you have not noticed, you are glaring at them," speaking the fact, Vansh looked at her.
Scoffing, Shanaya spoke without looking away from them" I am noticing her dress. I designed this dress. It's looking good on her."
The bottle green floor-length gown had a pleated bodice and, a Queen Annie neckline. It had a beaded waistline belt, thɨġh high-slit and zip-up back.
Shanaya wanted it to be sėxy but decent a the same time and, had chosen the zipper at the back till the waist rather than the full body style.
Shanaya had liked it the moment she had designed it. She had never worn such dresses but, she knew deep inside she was dying to wear it.
Especially after watching Vihaan admiring the dress.
"Shut up! I can't believe I am thinking like this!" talking to herself she spoke again to herself the moment she saw Vihaan resting his hand on Kritika's waist" Do not touch her!".
God, she was all raging.
Noticing Shanaya, Vansh knew he was correct. He had the idea about their attraction for each other for many days but, he had thought not to involve himself in it.
He was not going to tell anyone anything. He was going to let them realise it themself.
And, he was not going to be biased in it. He knew Saaransh was going to confess his feelings to Shanaya and, he was going to make sure to give him the opportunity.
He saw Shanaya walking back to her office and, he followed her. He saw her sitting on her chair and resting her head on the desk.
Shanaya wanted to cry her feelings. Looking at him with Kritika was too much for her.
She knew she was in trouble, and, she had no idea what to do.
"You are coming with me in the evening, right?" sitting on the desk, Vansh patted her head and spoke softly.
He wanted to be with her, even if it meant staying quiet.
"of course, It's Shiv uncle 50th birthday" biting her lips, shanaya look at Vansh while keeping her head on the same position.
She could not believe it was almost a year. A year for her to meet Vihaan and all the things they had gone came flashing in her mind.
More importantly, the kiss on his birthday and the challenging kiss.
And God! she wanted it again, she wanted to be with him.
She wanted to be 'kritika' for the first time.
