"Thanks Ishita! Dil karta hai zindagi bhar aise hi tumhara hath thaame rahun"

Did he just say that!?

But why? Isn't he acting weird today?

Did he by any chance come to know that I was going to ditch him???

No...that can't be! Can it???

"Kya hua? Kya soch rahi ho?"

"Kuch...nahi..."

"To chalein?"

"Haan...Can I get my purse?"

"Yeah sure...Mai bahar parking me tumhara wait karta hun"

"Ok"

When I came back with my purse I saw him leaning on the car with arms crossed.

As soon as he spotted me, he walked towards the passenger side & opened the door for me.

Chivalrous Plus 1...my mind noted

Having made sure I was seated comfortably he closed the door with a smile. I smiled weekly in response.

He adjusted himself in the driver's seat & looked at me "Are we ready to go?" He asked. I simply nodded.

Gentlemanly Plus 2...my heart gushed

As we turned into the main street a sharp ray of sunlight hit my eyes.

I closed my eyes in reflex and looked for my sunglasses in my purse. 

Shit I forgot to get them.

I scrunched my eyes to protect them from sharp sunrays.

He must have noticed it.

He blocked the sunrays with the sunshade & handed over his glasses to me.

"Its ok. I am fine" I said hesitating to accept his glasses.

"I can see that" he said smirking and forced me to wear them.

I simply obliged.

Raahon me tumko jo dhoop sataye
Chaaoon bicha denge hum
Lines from Ajnabi's song rang in my ears again.

Caring Plus 3...my mind reminded

After about an hour of driving, he pulled into the parking of a commercial building.

Do I have to mention that the drive was silent?

Obviously I avoided every possible conversation.

He must have realized that & so kept mum throughout.

I remember nothing from the drive except him stealing glances at me every now & then.

He opened the door & led me to the elevator & then to a posh looking office.

From the entrance to a cabin that hadCEO Ramn Kumar Bhalla written on its door, every employee that we came across stood up to wish him.

He nodded & replied with a smile.

So this is his work place. 

But why are we here?

No i didn't ask him that! 

I was on #AvoidConversationSpree you see.

He held the door to the cabin open signalling me to enter.

I did as was indicated.

He asked me to sit & I did that too.

"Poochogi nahi ke hum yahan kyun aye hain?"
