I don't know but whenever I'm around Abhir this always happens. I feel too lost and confused, he does something to me that I really can't pinpoint but he does.

I do admit that I feel comfortable in his presence, but I don't know why this happens?. He appreciated my work...and that felt good. I had weird feeling in my stomach.

Even today he asked me whether I had my lunch...as if he cares.

Why would he care he is nothing but just your boss....my inner voice mocked me..

(Sigh) that's right...why would he care ?.

"What did he say about the
presentation?" Kirti appeared by my side.

"Ohhh...he will check it...and if there will be any changes he will text me later."

"Okay!! Umm wait...what am I thinking is we are done with our work...that means we are free tonight. Let's grab dinner together. What's say??" She suggested.

"Ahh....okay done. 8pm The Pacific ."

"Yess....I will inform Stef." She shrieked in happiness.

"Don't be that happy...it's on you baby .."
And listening that her face fell....I always tease her like that.

"Ummm....I think I already had a commitment. Let me just check!!!"

I laughed...

"No problem...still you will be the one paying.." I stated

"Okay....you always catch my lies." She sighed.

"Because you are a terrible liar....Go tell Stef about the plan."

And she left.

She is a cutepie..but a bit tight fisted.
However she is I love her. She always lights up my mood.

Its already 5 and I will leave at 6 today.
I thought of completing over some of my pending work.

I got free by 6 and left for my home to get ready. And luckily I got a bus today. Just some happy things.

As I reached home...I called my mom to tell her that I am fine and I won't be able to call later at night because I have my friends coming over.
She is always scared about me living alone. So I make sure to not tell her I won't be home late at night or she won't sleep until I tell her I'm home.

I went to the washroom took a quick hot shower.
Moving towards my closet I was confused what to wear. Red, blue , pink I have a lot of choices.
I finally decided...I wore a ballooned sleeved white dress with a V neck.
With my normal diamond earrings, infinity pendant and a bracelet and my hair fell open. And my watch.
I decided to carry my black bag and paired my dress with heels .

I looked into the mirror for a last check and believe me I look good

I looked into the mirror for a last check and believe me I look good.

I booked a cab ride because I was already running late and also I won't travel in a bus all dressed up.

I was lucky to not find traffic on my way to the hotel. I reached 5 min prior to our decided time so, I thought of going inside and grab table for us.

I went inside asked for a table for three...I sat there and started scrolling through my phone. I had some unseen messages sent by Meher. I texted her back. Now the only thing I can do is wait.

They are always late...I shook my head.

Suddenly a shadow waved over me...and I felt someone's gaze.

I looked around but couldn't find anyone. Some memories flashed back in my mind leaving me agitated.

You are just being paranoid. He is not here .

Yes, he isn't here. He doesn't know where do I live. It's been 2 months since I left the city.

He is not here , he is not here , he is not here....I kept chanting it in my head.

"Aayat" someone called me. And I was startled.

"Sorry we are late. You know traffic."
Stef said.

"Yes, as always you are again late."I said gruffly.
But inside I sighed in relief, atleast I have them now. I am safe.

"Ok sorry!! Treat is on me.". Stef said.

"Of course." I scoffed.

As they got seated, we talked about our tomorrow's meeting and some normal stuff . Whenever I am with these people I always feel good and happy. They are just amazing. With them I forget about everything that's going wrong. It's just happiness.

Stef kept mocking kirti for always being tight fisted. But I know he doesn't mean even a single word. He had been crushing over her for a long now...but this stupid girl doesn't even acknowledge it. It's in his eyes, whenever he looks at her, it's pure affection and love.

I again felt someone's gaze on me, I tured around to see.

And I was shocked .

Idiot.
