"You f∆cked up Darshan Raval...she must have cried...argh...ahy did I have to panick so much"Darshan shut the door with a thud

Harshita came out of the bathroom after freshening up.... sitting on the bed she plugged off her phone from charging

'Home?'She noticed the text from her brother
'yes'

He called her
"Why so late today?"Rishabh
"Had some extra work"
"Roj roj you are working till late Harshu..not good at all"
"I'll have to take leaves for your engagement Bhai...uske baad kaam pending rahe...isse accha hai ki pehle hi sab complete kar lu phir kuch load nahi aayega"Harshita said
"Hmm...still"
"Here..talk with Mumma"he handed his phone to Jayashree and they talked for some time
and then again handed it to Rishabh
"Aaj aise kaise baat kar Rahi hai tu?"He said
"Wdym aise?"
"Bina kuch ulta baat kiye"
"Aise hi"
"Everything alright?are you hiding something?"Rishabh asked being concerned
"Nahi bhai"
"Don't lie...tell me what's wrong"
"Just..work load"
"Kisi aur ko phekna yeh...Naushad sir ne kuch kaha?ya office main kisine?"
"Nahi"
"Papa?"
"Arey nahi yaar"
"Darshan?did he say something"
"Umm....no...why would he"
"So you two fought"Rishabh said
"Can't call it a fight"
"Then?"
Harshita explained to him everything
"He was so furious...but meri kya galti thi isme..Maine thodi gadi kharab ki thi"Harshita said...a little disappointed from him
"Well...tbh..I would have slapped you if I was in his place....what were you thinking bro?12.15 baje akeli?that too on that keshav nagar ke piche wala road... nonsense"Rishabh yelled
"Can you imagine... anything could have happened Harshu!kidnap,robbery,ra-....itne ghatiya idea aate kaise hai tujhe?"he added
"I didn't have any other option!"Harshita exclaimed
"You did...agar chalna hi tha...toh wapis office chali jati...it was hardly 5 minutes away...you could've called Darshan from office's landline"
"Yeh....yeh mere dimag main aaya hi nahi"She said in low voice
Rishabh sighed
"It's fine now that you are safe...And..should I talk with Darshan?"He asked
"No no.. it'll look like I complained you about him like a kid...I'll see tomorrow"She said
"Fine...sleep now...good night"
"Goodnight"

Next day

"Good morning"Harshita said and passed a small smile
"Good morning beta"Pawan replied
Maid served them breakfast
"Something wrong?"he asked as she didn't speak anything
"N-no...why?"Harshita laughed it off
"You are looking like that"
"Arey papa...kal almost 1 Baja tha aane ko... couldn't sleep enough...maybe that's why"She said
"Ohh...take care of yourself too Harshu"
"Haa Papa(smile)....give me that mechanics number...my car broke down yesterday"
"How did you come then?"he frowned
"Darshan dropped me...car is still there so I'll take Rishabh bhai's car today"
"Okay...I'll send you his number"Pawan said

"Good morning Mam"Ashish said as he spotted her
"Morning"Harshita smiled at him
"Harshita mam...Sir is calling you"
Harshita went in Naushad's cabin...Darshan and Kartik were already there
"Yes sir?"
"Why are you so stressed?"Naushad asked
"Ah..is anything wrong?you called me"She said
"No no... It's just that Vaibhav is not present today...anyone from your department will have to take His measurements"Naushad said
"O-hh..okay sure"She said being nervous
"I'll ask Mah-"
"I am comfortable with her only"Darshan said pointing at Harshita

"Haha..I know"Naushad laughed
"C'mon go right away...we have meeting na Harshita?they are on their way"he added
"Yeah"

Darshan stood there while she wrapped the measuring tape to take measurements.
Wrapping the tape around his neck..Harshita looked up at him and found him already looking at her...both of them locked their eyes...not moving for sometime.
Darshan held her hand and placed it on right place
"S-sorry"She said and started her work

She kept the tape back once she was done
"What about the car?"Darshan asked
"I have told the mechanic"Harshita answered
"Okay...Uhm...I-...I shouldn't have behaved like that yesterday...I was worried..and then you were walking on the streets alone...I-"
"I understand you were worried...but meri kya galti thi Darshan?"She looked at him... disappointed
"I know....you weren't at fault....but Harshu aise raat ko 12 baje...akele...it's not safe... anything could've happened"
"I was really mad at myself for the thoughts I was getting...and then it just got worse....I couldn't control"He said
"I am sorry"
"It's...okay I guess...I am sorry too"
"Promise me you won't do anything like that again.... atleast won't walk alone at 12..on that scary road"
"Promise"Harshita chuckled
"So...Ms.Harshita Shah..will you join me for lunch...please?"He asked extending his hand with his signature smile
"Sure Mr.Darshan Raval"Harshita placed her hand in his
He pulled her in a hug
"I am really sorry"....."it's alright"
"Harshita...they are here"Kartik called her
"Yeah coming.."
"You go ...I'll wait here for you"He said
She nodded and went for the meeting

Darshan was sitting on a chair in her cabin scrolling his phone when Ashish came with a bar of dark chocolate.
"Good morning sir"he greeted Darshan
"Good morning"Darshan smiled
Ashish came near the table and put the chocolate down...Darshan watched his movements
"What's that?"Darshan frowned
"Uhm...nothing just..dark chocolate...Harshita mam likes it"Ashish replied
Darshan forced a smile
"So Nice of you to bring chocolate for your SENIOR...but actually...she doesn't like this one"he said
"But...she likes this only"Ashish looked at it
"I mean...she doesn't eat chocolates on Thursday"Darshan excused
"Oh"Ashish was disappointed
"It's alright...you can share it with your colleagues"Darshan said patting his shoulder
"Or..I can give it to her tomorrow"Ashish smiled taking it back from the table
"Dena hi hai?"Darshan asked
"Ha?"
"Argh...right...you can give tomorrow"

Darshan glared at him leaving
"I can give it to her tomorrow"he mocked Ashish and rolled his eyes
