A/n pov:
At " PETAL" shop:
Gauri: so you have to do this...
Gauri visited nitya today while carrying that Oasis foam as in this time she can only trust the person is Nitya...
Nitya: okay but it'll take time gauri..
Gauri: I'm ready to wait but still do your best
Nitya: I will don't worry...but gauri are you sure you don't had any misunderstanding?
Gauri: I don't know...I don't know who to trust that's why I want to find it out on my own...
Nitya: sehgals are indeed mysterious as I heard...
Gauri: I'm just hoping it's not what I think...
Nitya: like?
Gauri: nevermind.....
Nitya: hey since when you started hiding this from me?
Gauri: it's nothing, really
Nitya: gauri you can-
Her sentence got interrupted by the ring of her cell phone and she picks the call..
Nitya: hello......rn????...is it necessary...?..okay... okay...I'm coming...yeah yeah I'm coming...
She cuts the call and looks towards Gauri
Nitya: gauri I'll need your help rn, just looks after the shop as my batchmates called me to come at college since we are having demo presentation...
Gauri: it's ok nitya, no need to explain everything
Nitya: I love you gauri for this...
She tooks her bag and ran outside the shop
Gauri: go safely my dear!!
She yelled behind nitya who yelled back saying okay...
Gauri smiled and tied her hair in bun
Gauri: let's get to work gauri...
She put the apron and went towards the counter
Time skips~
A quaint, fragrant flower shop filled with a colorful array of blooms. Soft sunlight filters through the windows, casting a warm glow over the scene.
The bell above the door jingles as it swings open, and a tall, imposing figure steps inside.
Gauri was behind the counter while arranging arranging a bouquet and turns around to greet the customer
Gauri: Good afternoon! How can I help you today?
The man paused to take in the surroundings his cold demeanor softening slightly
Man: Good afternoon. I... wasn't expecting such a lovely place. I'm looking for something... unique.
Gauri: (smiling warmly) You've come to the right place. We specialize in unique arrangements. Do you have something specific in mind?
The man took a step closer, his eyes scanning the shop before landing on Gauri.
Man: Not quite... Maybe you can help me figure that out. What's your favorite flower?
Her eyes lightned up and she replied
Gauri: Oh, that's a tough question. I love them all, but if I had to choose... probably lilies. They're elegant and timeless.
The man nodded and got intrigued at her words
Man: Lilies....I can see why you like them. They're beautiful, but they also have a hidden strength.
Gauri tilted her way curiously and replied
Gauri: That's an interesting way to put it. Most people just see them as delicate.
The man smirked slightly and replied
Man: Delicate things often hide the most strength. It's all about perception....
Gauri: You seem to have a unique perspective. What brings you here today? Is there a special occasion?
The man hesitate for a second but decided to be honest
Man: No special occasion. I was just... drawn in. I don't usually visit places like this...
Gauri: I'm glad you did. Sometimes, stepping into new places can lead to unexpected surprises.
Man: You're right. This place is... surprising. Peaceful, even.
The man tones got more introspective by the time
She smiles and replied
Gauri: Flowers have a way of bringing peace. Maybe you needed that today.
Man: Maybe I did. It's strange... I usually find solace in darker places.
Gauri: Sometimes, light can be more comforting than darkness. It's just about letting yourself see it.
The man studies his face for a moment and replies
Man: You speak as if you know a lot about finding light in dark places.
She replied while arranging the bouquet
Gauri: We all have our shadows. It's how we grow past them that matters.
He took a step closer and his voice became soft..
Man: You’re... different. People usually avoid talking to me like this.
Gauri meets his gaze and replies
Gauri: Maybe they’re missing out. Everyone has a story worth hearing.
Man: And what’s your story, Miss?
She laughed softly and replied
Gauri: Mine is filled with flowers and sunshine. It’s not as exciting as you might think.
His eyes got soft and he replied
Man: Sometimes, a bit of sunshine is exactly what’s needed.
Gauri: Well, if you ever need more sunshine, you know where to find me.
He nodded reluctantly and replies
Man: I might take you up on that..btw..Thank you, Miss. For... this
He shows her her bouquet and she replied
Gauri: Anytime, Mr. Everyone deserves a little light...
with a final, lingering look he spoke
Man: I'll see you again, Miss...
Gauri nods and man leaves the place while Gauri went back to her work..
