The Right Match

IV

♪♫ Aayi aisi raat hai jo

Bahut khushnaseeb hai,

Chaahe jise dur se duniya

Vo mere kareeb hai,

Kitna kuch kehna hai

Phir bhi hai dil mein sawaal kahin,

Sapno mein jo roz kaha hai

Vo phirse kahun ya nahi,

Aankhon mein teri

Ajab si ajab si adaayein hai,

Dil ko banade jo patang saansein,

Ye teri vo hawaayein hai...♪♫

It's been a month since Meera had come to the Singhania mansion. Both Veer and Meera had fallen into a fixed routine.

Meera had gone back to the office two weeks ago and since then she had been listening to teasing, gossip, rumours, and whatnot because everyone was convinced that both she and Veer fell in love while working together and got married. While the reality was far from it. One of their boss was no longer available in the market.

It was evening when the intercom in her cabin rang indicating a call from Veer.

"Come to my office." He said before she could say anything and disconnected before hearing her answer.

Meera rolled her eyes while making her way to his office. She walked in without knocking out of habit.

"Can you get me the EDA project file from the file storage room?" he asked politely.

"Sure."

She got the file and went back to his office to give him the file. Entering his office, she noticed that he was massaging his head with one hand while typing something on the laptop with the other.

"File." She said while putting it on his desk.

He looked up with tired eyes, stood up, and rounded the table to stand right in front of her.

"Can I hug you?" he asked trying to make puppy dog eyes.

She held back a chuckle at his attempt and just gave him an affirmative nod.

He took a step forward, wrapped his arms around her waist, and put his head on her shoulder. She hugged him back while gently running her fingers through his hair which made him sigh in contentment.

This is something that changed in the last month. The whole time they talked and tried to get to know each other better on a personal level.

"Headache?" she asked softly and he hummed in answer. "We should get home; you can get some rest then?"

"Let's stay like this for a while then we can go home." He mumbled against her shoulder which gave her goosebumps but she complied with his wish.

After a while, they both packed their things and left for home as Viaan had already left.

"Stay still!" Meera exclaimed for the 100th time that morning.

It was the weekend, and Meera was excited as Veer had agreed to be a model for her painting. Meera loved sketching and painting—it was more a way to stay connected with her mother than a hobby.
