Sidhartha's POV

As we were ascending towards the terrace, I saw her with the same expression less face. Whats wrong with her. In hall and then here she isn't willing to utter a single word.
Its seemed that she wasn't that much excited as me or because I was overthing.

'You are looking beautiful' said Sidhartha in order to unmute the conversation.

'Thank you' said she.

"So.... Dr.Astha I thought you weren't comfortable there so thats why" he said

"Its Ok ,I am comfortable now."

"So Dr.As..."

"You can call me just Astha."Said Astha

"Ok so lets not try not be formal

So, I 'll be straightforward Astha, I dont agree to the fact ki hum kisi anjaan insaan se  kisi bhi rishte mein bandh jaaye just because our families want.

Everything needs time I need time ,you also need time and I can understand that.

Before anything starts I want to know you and I want you to  know me.
See everything develops from respect and trust ,not just by love.

So what do you think?What are your views? " Said Sidhartha

Astha was awestruck by his thoughts.

Astha'POV
I thought he must be in  a hurry because Aai told me that he had come for only for a month. But indeed he is very mature and yes polite too. For a second I thought to tell him everything  but I couldn't gather strength to tell about my condition.

"You're right I need time . To figure out things right now around me." She replied

Sidhartha could sense something fishy from her face.

The situation was already tense so to light the mood he asked

"So whats your career plans after your PG?"

"Idk"

What!!

"I mean after MD I want to start my practice. "

"Great !!"
"Btw I travel a lot . My postings are mostly in costal regions . Currently in Vizag next month I am going London for 4 months posting."

Toh Mumbai.. I mean you will be never posted in Mumbai??she interrupted.

"No no I am just waiting for my promotion after that I will be in Mumbai only most probably for a couple of years" he said

"Ok"

Then they had talk about their interests and liking,but deep down the heart Sidhartha knew that something could be seen in her eyes. But was it because she's an introvert or there is something else?

Soon it was 3pm and they went down. Everyone was waiting for them .

"Ho gyi baat beta?" Asked her father

"Ji uncle nodded Sidhartha

Brigadier-"Chaliye Mr.Dixit ab hum chalte h "

Mr.Dixit-Par khana toh kha ke jaayiye

"Fir kabhi waise bhi ab toh aana jana rhega hi . Wo kya h ki hame ek family function mein bhi jaana h toh..." said Mrs.Subhra.

"Chaliye koi baat nhi ..aacha hua aap aaye" said Mrs .Swati.

"Hume bhi bohot acha laga apse aur Astha se milke" said Brigadier

"Aage ki baat hum phone pe krte h" he continued

"Thik h" her father said.

Then they left.
