Unadulterated Love

Part 23

Shehnaaz's POV

It has been 7 days since meeting with senior Taneja. It went better than expected.

He is very disciplined, unlike his son, Pranav is really talkative.
And the good thing I found was his choices are classy, he might be 65. But not at all old-fashioned. And construction has began as per their choices.

The biggest change within this week! Me taking dance classes!
Though I don't have any professional dancing specialty. I am simply good in classical, Punjabi folk and little bit western, since my college. Nothing more.

What a fantastic experience it was in Ashiyaana! Wow! I love those kids. They are of 10-13 in age. Super cute and energetic. And so friendly.

And talking about me and Sidharth, we're doing good too. I had so much fun cooking with his mother. She's a pro in the kitchen. And I love her.
Sidharth is my darling, I can't find enough words to express how happy he makes me. Just the two days in a week, I get to spend with him are the best.

And there's one more thing, him being over- possessive now. Always asking me to keep distance from guys at work.

You know who.. Pranav. And we had a small fight on this lately.

I'll tell you what happened last Wednesday:
I stayed back late night in the office for some work and because of that I couldn't talk to him. Just texted I'm busy.

The next day, he was enquiring who else was there with me. Why that Taneja?

He gets mad seeing Pranav's texts. Even when every single message is related to work. When it comes to unnecessary ones, I do not reply. And he knows that. But still he has to react loud.

Sidharth is getting anxious on small and unnecessary things now a days. And I'm not getting this!

How many times do I need to tell him that Pranav might be a flirt, but not a bad guy.

He's a Punjabi too, that could be a reason we became friends. And he's a little funny. That's it.

"Chalo Madam... Lunch over.." Pranav called me. I had taken a break from work. To have some coffe. And when did he come?

"Tum fir aa gaye..! Kuch aur kaam nahi hai..?" I asked.

"Arey..! Tum mujhe kyuu bhejna chahti ho vapas.. Mujhe yaha bada mazaa ataa hai..! Light environment and all... " he excitedly took a seat infront of me.

"Kyuu.. Tumhare office me kya burayi hai..?" I asked.

"Vaha.. Boring hai mahol.." he said.

"Ya fir tumhara kaam me mann nahi lagta hoga.. Haha.." I laughed while he gave a smile.

I went back to scrolling feeds on my phone, "Utho..abhi.. Kafi kaam pada hai.." he stood up.

"Ha.. Ek second.." I thought of checking, if there was any reply from Sidharth.

"Kiske messages dekhe jaa rahe hai.. Mai bhi to dekhu.." he peeked.

"Koi nahi hai..." I locked the phone screen immediately.

"Oh come on..! You can tell me.. I thought we were friends.." he made a puppy face.

"Chalo.. Late ho raha hai.. Dant padegi varna Vikas se.." I made my way out of the canteen.

When back home, I called Sidharth multiple times. All unanswered.

"Hey..!!" I picked up instantly when he called back.

"Kyuu bar bar call kar rahi hai..?? Kuch kaam tha..?" he asked.

"Nahi.. Bas aise hi.."

"Do you know.. Insaan busy bhi ho sakta hai..?" he said sarcastically.
