Chapter 119 - Missing besty?

"Keep this too, Shana." picking up the golden coloured big round steel box from the bed, Shanaya's mother, Mrs Ankita Malhotra, spoke while keeping it inside her travelling bag.

Shanaya was busy collecting her dresses from the wardrobe when she heard her mother and, walks toward her mother, pausing her other work for a moment.

"Akshar made them for you." picking the book from the bed, Mrs Ankita spoke.

"Really?" beaming with happiness, Shanaya took out the box and opened it without wasting any minute.

"Wow! pede!" looking at the box full of pede, an Indian sweet dish, Shanaya could not stop her mouth-watering.

Before her mother could speak" Do not finish them eating in a day", Shanaya had two of the pede in her mouth.

"umm, they are so tasty!!" exclaiming, Shanaya was about to go for the third one when she felt the box snatched away from her hands..

"Mom!" she exclaimed with disbelief.

She just could not believe it.

"What? Are you planning to finish all of them today itself? I told Aksar it is going to be a bad idea. You can not control your tongue once you start tasting any sweet!" scolding her, which was not at all scolding, her mother put it back in her bag.

"I can't believe you favour pede over me!" making mouth toward her mother, Shanaya laid down on the bed.

"He made them for Vansh, Saaransh and Avni too. What will you give them if you finish eating them yourself? And, who is going to pack your things, hmm?" looking at her, her mother questioned, while slapping her back, lovingly but complainingly.

Closing her eyes, spreading her legs and hands in the remaining space on the bed, Shanaya murmured" I am not doing it. You want me when I am not at home but, once I am at home, you want me to go away! You do not love me at all! I am telling you, I will marry someone there without telling you about him! I won't even ask him to come to you."

"I knew you were seeing someone!" forcing her to sit, Mrs Ankita sat beside her and asked curiously" Who is he?"

Okay, that was the wrong idea and, Shanaya realized it too late.

She had no idea what she was going to say next.

Ignoring Vihaan name that emerged in her mind at the mere idea of getting married, Shanaya did not speak anything. Her heart had started beating furiously, and, she was not going to risk speaking in front of her mother.

For, she doubts she could speak in her original voice.

"There is no one. I am not going to marry anyone." standing up from the bed, Shanaya, walked toward the wardrobe and resumed her work.

...........................................

Vihaan's mind was not at all in the meeting that was taking place in the meeting room. It had been a week without listening to Shanaya or fighting with her and, he was missing it.

Missing her whole, rather than just fighting and talking.

He had never thought there would come a day when he would be missing the same girl he had thought of none other than a timepass in his teen days.

The mistake he had made in his twenties was the reason Shanaya was away from him, without giving him a chance to at least explain.

"And explain what? Are you going to say to her' Shana, I am sorry for letting you go in the past? But, now I want you, would you forgive me?'" Vihaan closed his eyes when his mind teased him, but he knew he had no chance.

Afterall, his mind was correct.

Knowing Shana, he doubts she would give him another chance.

Or a chance at all.

But the thought of being away from her seemed impossible to him. He wanted her in every way and seeing her with someone else was making him crazy.

He was going mad thinking of the situation where she would never talk to him she would be dating someone else and thought of marrying someone was intolerable!

Deep down in his thoughts, he did not realize Erina, calling his name.

Sitting beside him, Erina looked at the physically present but mentally absent Vihaan. She had an idea about his ongoing situation, but she was not sure.

But, at present, she had other things to do. Being a personal ȧssistant, she knew she had to step up to tackle the situation.

Clearing her throat, she spoke again, with a loud voice"Sir, I have taken the notes. Will you give the final decision after reading it?" and sigh in relief when she saw Vihaan looking at her.

"Oh, yes, sure" not knowing what else to say, Vihaan adjusted himself on the chair and addressed the employers present "You can go now."

A minute later, he was alone with Erina.

"Thank you, Erina" passing a genuine smile, Vihaan spoke gratefully.

"It's okay, sir" welcoming his appreciation, Erina cleared her throat once again.

The news she was going to share was definitely going to affect the person sitting in front of her.

Vihaan paid his attention to Erina when he heard her clearing throat and, he knew she had something more to say.

"What is it, Erina?"

The moment Vihaan heard "Sir, Shanaya mam informed, she will be joining office from tomorrow", his breathing stopped and, he could not think of words to say.
