AN INEVITABLE INTRUDER

CHAPTER ELEVEN

NAINA

I can't believe that I hugged him... All the hugs have been initiated by me... Why can't I control myself when I'm around him??? "Because you can't resist him Naina... You love him... You've fallen for the Khadoos Maheshwari...", my inner voice screamed... I closed my eyes reminiscing his warmth... My cheeks automatically turned red at the reminder...

I suddenly jerked when Swati shouted in my ear, "Naina... Naina... So gayi kya??? Kab se main aur Preeti tumhe aawaaz de rahe hai... Aur tere gaal yun laal kyun ho rakhe hai???" I couldn't find my voice... So, I just kept looking at them... Preeti kept her palm on my forehead & I didn't understand what she was doing...

"Isse bukhar toh nahi hai... Naina... Tumhari tabiyat toh thik hai na??? Agar tabiyat thik nahi lag rahi toh tumhe Shimla nahi aana chahiye...", Preeti suggested looking concerned for me... "Nahi... Main... Main... Thik hun... Bas thoda mummy-papa ko miss kar rahi thi...", finally I found my voice & I lied... This was the half-truth though... I was missing my parents but I was missing HIM too...

"Chal... Tu fresh ho jaa... Hume dus minute mein nikalna hai... Hum neeche wait kar rahe hai... Jaldi aa jaana...", Swati said while walking out of my room with Preeti... I started taking deep breaths to calm myself... What was I doing??? I can't let them know about our little secret... I freshened up quickly & joined them to leave for the airport...

I was surprised to see the entire staff at the airport ready to board the flight... Everyone seemed elated for the trip... I saw Kamya walking towards me, "Hiii... Naina... All set for your first trip???" I smiled genuinely at her, "Heyyy... Kamya... Yesss... I'm all ready to go... actually very much excited... Pehli baar India mein kahin ghumne jaa rahi hun..."

She smiled, "That's great... I'm sure you will love it... And you will surely enjoy amongst us..." She looked around the others, "Inn sabko toh aadat ho gayi hai aise trips ki... Tumhe bhi aadat ho jaayegi har saal... You know Naina... Everyone waits for this trip, so they could relax & enjoy... I feel lucky to be a part of this wonderful organisation... I haven't seen any company offering this to their employees..."

"You're right Kamya... I'm looking forward to this trip & I'm sure I would enjoy it too with all of you... Ummmm... Kamya... Can we be friends??? Obviously, I'm leaving this choice to you..." She came forward & offered her hand, "Friends it is..." I happily pulled her in for a hug... "Main apne friends ko gale lagaati hun... Handshake kaafi formal lagta hai..." And we both laughed out... I saw my friends raising their eyebrows at me but I neglected them & continued talking to Kamya...

Kamya left me saying that she needed to check on the other staff members who are yet to arrive... Swati & Preeti immediately joined me, "Arey waahhh... Hume itne saal ho gaye iss company ko join kiye hue par Kamya ne kabhi humse dosti nahi ki... Aur ab dekho... Naina se ek jatke mein dosti kar li... Waahhh... Naina... Tussi great ho... Tumhare aate hi bohot se parivartan hone lage hai yahaan... Kyun Swati???", Preeti said in a teasing tone...
