Days passed, while Vikram was investigating the scandal that had happened at Vidharth's company. Vikram even avoided looking Ahana straightly. It's been a week since he last saw her eyes. This in turn made her felt worried. She couldn't bear the thought of losing both Vikram and Dhruv though she kept in mind what Shiva had said and was patient enough that everything would get better soon.
That day Ahana went to Vikram to get a signature in a copy. She gave him that copy. Vikram looked at the file for a few seconds and his face narrowed, "Ahana, Where is your focus? Look, what is this?" He gave it to her and when she saw it, she said, "Alas! I have brought this mistakenly" She didn't stand there for a second and took the exact copy and handed it to him.
Vikram then signed, "You don't want to add this project. I would hand over to Ravita" said Vikram, "Oh... OK" she finished in one word. (A week later, a conversation took place between the two)
"Ahana, your focus is not here even now. Only show your focus at work when you are at work..." he said looking at her face.
"Hmm..." she mumbled. Her reply disturbed Vikram's mind.
"Ahana... Can you do me a favor?" He asked and she stared at him in amazement.
"Quit this job and get out of here. Another job is ready for you" he said softly, and she blinked raising her eyebrows.
He continued, "Didn't you dream of leaving this job in the beginning? Here's the appointment letter of your favorite journalism business. You go there and be happy, Vikram's heartfelt congratulations to you Ahana..."
"Hmm ..." she smirked, "I'm stuck in your circle of friends and I'm unable to get out... but Are you planning to quit me completely? Well done! You allowed me to share in the happiness of both of you (Vikram and Dhruv) but now you planned to drive me away when trouble comes! I do not need anyone's permission to be with you at this time...
I'll take it myself... sorry!" Her eyes reddened.
Sensing her pain and love, Vikram said, "Hmm... I couldn't tell you more. Listen to me, take care of your health that's all!"
"Well... Am I bothering you so much? Do you really want me to get out of here? Will Dhruv come back here as soon as I go? Will you both be happy?" She cried and walked away without stopping for a second.
He leaned his head on the chair, breathing heavily and his eyes became red.
*****
Ahana stood in front of Dhruv's house with tears in her eyes. Today, with the intention of bringing an end to this. Dhruv, who was not expecting her at all, welcomed her with his signature smile, "Ahana... Come inside" and she smiled fakely too.
"I never expected your presence here. Didn't you go to the company today?" He queried.
"Hmm" she nodded.
"How do you know my house?" He asked excitedly.
"I told your name and the cab dropped me here" said her gently.
"Why are you looking dull, Ahana?" He observed since she came.
"I don't know what the problem is, why am I like this? Why is the silence between you two distracting me badly? It is as if my peace has gone away from me. I don't know where to go? I don't understand whom to seek for help?" She said.
