Showing Them The Light (IPKKND Fanfic)

20. Spending time

Today, Payal came office with her mind made up. She wasn't able to pull his words out of her brain. She kept thinking about them and her heart won over her mind. After thinking about him and his words whole night she has decided to give him a chance. 

She came and sat in her cubicle and saw there were no roses present. 

‘Has Akash given up the hope?’

“Rajeev… ” She called. 

“Haan…” He spoke, looking up from his work.

“Is sir in his cabin?” She asked.

“No. He didn't arrive yet.” She nodded and he went back to his work.

‘Did I take it too far?’

Khushi was walking out with Latika out of the campus. There college timings were over. From the Khushi has told Latika that she gave Arnav a chance, Latika tease her at every moment she can. Even, Latika is curious to meet Arnav. She want to scare him to death so that he won't hurt her Jalebi.

“Where is Mr. Hot shot?” 

“Who?” Khushi asked confused.

“Who else?! Your boyfriend.” Khushi rolled her eyes. 

“He have a name Latika….”

“So..? Everyone have…” Latika gave her duh look.

“Well… I don't know where he is right now. Working maybe…” 

“Great!” Latika muttered. Khushi laughed. Then only Khushi's mobile rang.

“Pick it up dear! It has to be your boyfriend's call.” Latika said in an obvious tone.

Khushi's cheeks turned pink. Why Latika have to call him as her boyfriend?

Laad governor…

“Hello?” She picked up the call.

“Khushi… You got free?”

“Amm… Haan…” She replied glancing at Latika who was waiting for her to finish the call.

“Wanna, like- I mean if you are not busy… we could get lunch? Or even just coffee if you don't have a lot of time…” He spoke stammering.

She smiled. What has happened to the great ASR? Huh?

“Okay… I will be waiting for you in the cafe near my college.” She spoke softly and felt him grinning on the other side of call.

“Sure! I will be there in ten to fifteen minutes.” He replied excitedly.

“Woah! Don't drive too fast!”

“I will try!” He spoke and hung up the call.

“Date fixed?” Latika asked.

“Aisa kuch nhi hai…” Khushi spoke blushing.

“Ya… Ya… I will leave then..” Latika spoke in duh tone.

“No wait! Why don't you also meet him?” 

“Does he want to meet me?” 

“He will be glad to meet you. Come on!” Latika shrugged and agreed.

Arnav reached cafe grinning. But his smile faded away as soon as he saw another girl sitting with Khushi. 

‘I wanted to spend some time with her alone…’ His face fell.
