Chapter 138 - Man to man

The sun seemed to have been arisen from West, for Mr Vihaan Singh Rathore was late!

Nodding his neck while receiving morning wishes from his employees, he rushed toward his office with long strides in fitted black jeans, shirt and long overcoat.

His hair was in usual, messy but not out of place and his handsome face 'cheery on the cake' on his well-built body.

How could he not look that handsome!? He had spent hours on it.

"Not hours! It was just five minutes! " scolding his mind, opening the one-sided view door of his office, he walks towards his chair and sat down.

It was neither five minutes nor hours, but, for fifteen minutes he had stood in front of the mirror, knowing very well he was late.

But, he wanted to look good, no matter how much late he had slept and had dark circles under his eyes.

Laying back fully on his comfortable chair, he crossed his eyes and rubbed them with his fingers. .

He was desperate for some sleep!

How could he not? He was wide awake till four in the morning thinking about no one else than Shanaya.

He had not stopped regretting hurting her in the past, in his childhoods.

Or, in his immaturity.

God! How much he was regretting it!

Shifting forward, he sat straight and taking the phone out of his inner coat pocket, dialled a number.

It was time to claim what was his.

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

Halting his car in front of the huge and beautiful Rathore company, Saaransh opened the car door and come out of it.

Not wasting a second, he went inside but, not towards Shanaya's office.

He had just taken few steps toward the cafeteria when he saw Vihaan walking towards him.

Walking towards him, Vihaan glanced around his company making sure Shanaya was nowhere in proximity.

He had call Saaransh half an hour ago, for, it was time for them to meet and sort things out.

He wanted two persons in his life the most, Shanaya and Saaransh and he was not going to lose anyone of them.

He saw Saaransh closing the distance between them and he nods his neck awkwardly, acknowledging him.

Sensing and feeling the uneasiness, for it was still present, Saaransh rubbed his hands to warm them against the cold breeze.

Or, to erase the discomforts.

Clearing his throat, Vihaan glanced here and there and when he could no longer ignore his best friend, he finally looked at him.

He had never thought he too would become one of the reasons for his pain and sadness, but, he was ready to bear the guilt for this, for the lifetime.

For he knew, Shana was not made for Saaransh.

He was aware of Shana's feelings and he was not going to let her make the wrong decision.

And, Saaransh sadly was one of that decision.

"How are you?" gathering the courage to speak, Vihaan looked into his eyes.

Saaransh could feel the efforts and deep down he wanted to embrace him, forgive him for, Vihaan had never taken any initiation, but, all he did was "I am fine, what about you?"

"Same, I am also fine" roaming his right hand in his hair, Vihaan spoke.

He spoke further" Do you want to go somewhere else?"

What he was going to talk needed a place, a place where they could speak freely, and for a long time.

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

Taking all the warmth the rays of the sun can provide through the window glass of the car, and the AC of the car, Vihaan and Saaransh remained sitting in Vihaan's car in complete silence.

No one knew what to speak.

The same way they did not knew when Vihaan had driven them from his office, to stop at one of the restaurant to order hot coffee, and then they had just driven for a long time with no destination in mind, to stop at the roadside.

Saaransh looked here and there and when he could no longer avoid looking at Vihaan, he turned his attention towards him only to see him in the same position.

Trying to avoid Saaransh.

"Uhhmm" clearing his throat, Saaransh finally spoke up" You wanted to talk something? "

"Ahhh.... Yes" playing with the steering of the car, he suddenly stopped and placing his left hand on his left leg, he opened his mouth to speak.

But, no word came out.

"What? Say it slowly and clearly, Vihaan" only catching the word 'Shanaya' and 'yesterday' , Saaransh curiosity double up.

It was the first time for Vihaan to speak about Shanaya.

"Ahhhh" slapping the steering with his right palm, he took his time as if he was getting ready, ready to tell the person beside him, he had proposed the same girl they both like.

"I.... Proposed.... Shanaya..... Yesterday" speaking so slowly, almost like a snail walking, he looked at the shocked Saaransh and he continued" I asked her to marry me, because I am ready, eagerly ready to make her my wife. "

"What did. .." Saaransh stopped for a second to clear his choked throat, and once he was sure he could speak with no problem, he spoke" What did Shanaya says? "

Looking no more at Vihaan, Saaransh looked outside and continued" And why are you telling me all this? I did not ask you to tell me. "

Starting the engine of the car, Vihaan spoke while looking ahead of him on the road " Because you are my best friend, and I do not want to hide anything more with you. "

And finally he looked at him.

Only to speak" I can not lose you again, just like I can not lose Shana. "
