Navya was getting ready for work. She put her hair in a clutcher letting them half open.
She put her nude lipstick and pouted her lips giving herself a wink.
She looked good. He would definitely see her now.
This 'He' is her senior in office she has had a crush on since the first day she had joined.
Varun Mishra. Girls in the office swooned after him. There are only two men in office after whom the women were crazy.
One was Varun, her crush and the other was Ahaan Shekhawat, her best friend, who made office bearable.
Varun had the handsome chocolate boy look. Ahaan on the other hand was more masculine and rugged.
She reached office with a huge smile.
"Aaj toh he would definitely notice me."
She mumbled with a mischievous smile and got out of the elevator. She stopped seeing him standing near the reception.
Setting her hair she walked near the reception where he was standing with her heart beating like crazy.
It happened whenever she was nervous.
She signed her entry looking at him through the corner of her eyes but he didn't spare her a glance.
"Good morning sir."
She finally greeted and he noddedd without looking at her making her smile fall.
He went inside and Navya stood there with a sullen expression.
An arm was dropped on her shoulder and she looked up to see Ahaan standing with a grin.
"Why this sad face?"
He asked and she pouted even more making him want to pinch her cheeks.
"Do I not look good?"
She asked and he took a good look at her from top to bottom and back. She ignored the way his gaze made her feel and continued looking at him with a small pout.
He looked into her eyes and whispered close to her face.
"You look amazing."
"Then why can't he see me?"
She whined and his smile fell.
"Why can't who see you?"
"Varun! I have been dressing up, doing things to gain his attention but he never even looks at my side."
Ahaan felt like someone had snatched his breath away from him.
"You-you like him?"
She nodded and looked towards where Varun was standing talking to another employee.
"I do. Since day one. Lekin the only time he has talked to me is while giving me work."
She then turned to him and asked.
"I thought tumhe pata tha."
How could he have known? He just saw her. Nothing else.
"I-I-mai-I didn't - you really like him."
He said when he saw her look at him nonstop. She turned to him and nodded.
"Ahaan! Do something na. I want him to notice me."
She pulled his sleeve and he clenched his fist. She could have asked for his life instead.
"I'll-i'll think of something. You don't worry."
"But-"
"Do you trust me?"
He asked and she nodded without hesitation and he smiled.
"Bas phir. Trust me. Kal tak kuch sochta hu. Ok. Abhi focus on your work."
He said and went inside trying to control his inner turmoil.
The whole day he looked at her only to see her gaze at Varun. He felt like he lost something he never had.
He dropped her home like always and stopped in front of her home.
She had her head rested back and was sleeping peacefully. He smiled and turned to her side.
He tucked her hair behind her ear and kissed her head.
He would do anything for her and her happiness. Even if it meant sending her away from him.
He reached his home and went to his room not in a mood for dinner.
"Tum chahti ho ki Varun tumhe notice kre. Kaise? Kaise apni nazro ke saamne kisi aur tumhe dekhte huye dekh lu? I'd prefer death over it Navya. You cry over him kyunki wo tumhe dekhta nhi hai. And me? Why can't you see me?"
He closed his eyes as he felt tears of frustration and pain fill his eyes.
"I know you like him. But I just want to he selfish when it comes to you. Sab se chhupa ke rakhna chahta hu tumhe mai. Kuch pal hi sahi lekin sirf apna hote dekhna chahta hu."
Navya on the other hand was waiting for Ahaan impatiently. He would be having ideas of how she could gain Varun's attention.
Ahaan reached office and Navya ran to him with a wide grin making his lips curl into a smile.
"Did you think of something?"
She asked and he frowned.
"Think what?"
"Arre! Ki mai Varun ki attention kaise gain kru?"
His smile fell and he nodded grimly looking away.
"Really! Kya?"
Her eyes sparkled with excitement. He whispered a sorry to her in his mind and took her in a secluded corner where he could talk without any disturbance.
"Have you heard about fake dating?"
She nodded and he gulped before continuing.
"I discussed this situation anonymously with my friends yesterday. Unhone kuch ideas suggest kiye. And found this one the most reliable. You know a guy usually finds a woman in a relationship more attractive."
She frowned and asked.
"So you are suggesting that I get into a fake relationship and Varun would find me attractive?"
He nodded and she went into deep thoughts.
"Do men really find a woman attractive when she is in a relationship?"
He nodded and she asked.
"Do you? Find a woman in a relationship attractive?"
He chuckled and shook his head. How can he ever find anyone other her attractive.
"Nhi! But most men do."
She bit her lip thinking and said.
"I think try krne mai problem nhi hai. Itna kuch try kr chuki. Ye bhi sahi."
"So do you have someone in mind for a fake boyfriend?"
He asked internally praying she takes his name. She thought for a moment and then said.
