Meet Shekhar, an athiest man from a middle class orthodox poojari family and his journey to finding purpose of his own life.
When one day he meets his boss's daughter and little did he know, his whole life is about to change.
Gauri is a Shiva devot...
I didn't even enjoy seeing outside my window while sitting in the bus. I always enjoy looking outside my window.
A guy was sitting beside me and had his boat airdropes in his ears and blasted music so loud that even I could figure out what he was listening to. Which right now is "Beqarar karke hume yu na jayiye." He seems to like old tunes cause last songs were old as well.
But for all I cared; the seats beside ours.
Gauri kept glancing at the seat beside me. And I kept glancing at his head. Who does he think he is? And oh don't get me started in their conversations.
His desperate need to keep talking to her just made me more and more annoyed. Like no Gaurav she does not care about the stakeholders right now.
Yes his name is Gaurav. Gaurav Sharma. He literally told Vijay who was her new mentor by the way, to leave and as her section head, be her mentor instead!
This guy has been after her since a long time.
She seemed tired of his blabbering because I mean who wants to talk such boring stuff during a bus ride in Goa! We're legit in a bus in Goa to our resort !!
But good. Keep her bored with your nonsense.

1 hour 47 minutes later
Gauri's POV
Finally. Fuck.
I wanted to fall asleep but my head? He kept on going on and on and on about business and market value and what not!
But finally we reached our stop. I kept glancing at Shekhar's seat and I guess he noticed that once or twice.
Sigh.
What had I planned and what happened.

Shekhar's POV
Everyone crowded in the reception which was huge by the way. Our office budget seems to have taken a rise!
Shaurya sighed and rested his arm on my shoulder. "I'm so exhausted." He cried. "Already?" "Yeah." "So you'll just sleep as soon as you get to the room?" "I wish." He said as he huffed.
"I can't waste Goa time" he said "Good." I replied.
I looked around and my eyes found Gauri who was sitting on the couch with Anushka.
And also Gaurav.
"This prick ruined everything." I gritted and Shaurya too adverted his gaze towards them.
"Oh." He straightened himself. "What happened?" I asked weirded out by his sudden alertness. "Hmm? Nothing." "Its not nothing."
He shook his head as no.
I looked at the three and my mind clicked. "It's Anushka. Isn't it?" Shaurya did a pfft.
"What do you mean? What Anushka?" I smirked, "What did you both talk about?" "Nothing special." "Shaurya!" I whisper-shouted "Its nothing!" He whisper-shouted back.
Gauri's POV
Shekhar and Shaurya were standing at some distance talking to eachother. Shekhar had a weird expression on his face and Shaurya was...looking flushed? Like panicky? I don't know.
To my left was Anushka and to my right was well, Gaurav.
Sigh.
"What do you think, Gauri?" He asked "Hmm?" I was zoned out "You weren't listening?" "No-no I was I'm just really tired so kind of brain dead hahaha"
Save me.
"Oh? You'd like coffee?" "Oh-oh? Yeah sure..."
He smiled and got up to ask for coffee or maybe some refreshment to the reception.
Whatever keeps him away for sometime I guess.
I sighed and looked at Anushka but she was looking at ... Shekhar?
Oh wait no. Shaurya.
"Why are you looking at him like that?" "Huh? What?" She was zoned out too? "You lookin at Shaurya?" "Whaaat? Pffft no"
That was a weird way to deny.
"You both did sit together, what did you both talk about?" "Nothing much." "Really?" "Uh huh." She took out her phone and started scrolling instagram.
Something is suspicious.
But before I could further poke her, Gaurav was back.
* * * Shekhar's POV
After waiting for a whole hour, we finally got our rooms alloted.
Two people in one room. Of course Shaurya and I were together.
And Gauri and Anushka together. They both really seem to hit it off, always together like me and Shaurya. Besties for real.
Ew did I just use the word besties?
Homies better.
Shaurya jumped and laid on the bed as soon as we entered and let out a huge sigh.
"You can rest, 30 minutes later they'll call us for snacks. Take a power nap till then." I adviced as I looked around the room.
The room wasn't too big, rather small but also with enough space.

For better visualisation
The resort also had their own private beach which was also really close from our room so that's a plus point!
Shaurya was already snoring. Damn.
Just then his phone dinged. Seemed like instagram notification. I'm not snoopy but we're literally like a married gay couple.
So, I looked over at the screen and saw ...
"Anushka_344 has requested to follow you"
Whaaat-

A/N: When you think of Gauri and Shekhar, which celebrity would you cast? I'm curious 👀
