Destiny: Time To Fall In Love

Chapter 16 - New feelings

It's been almost a month since party day. Me and Mahi are closer now than ever, it's like I found my Richa here. My relation with Vikram and Veer sir  also has been changed, they behave like friends more than my seniors or boss. I was having my cold coffee in the cafeteria when Veer sir called me on my phone and asked me to present in his office as soon as possible. So I went there.

In Veer's cabin

"You asked for me, Mr Maheshwari" Aashi aaked Veer after coming in his Cabin. " Yes, Aashi! Are you free on this Friday, there's a meeting of mine where I need you to accompany me" Veer said looking at Aashi. "Yes sir, I'm free but isn't usually Vikram sir goes with you, neither I'm your scetecry nor do I know this stuff" Aashi said shrugging her shoulders. "Believe me Aashi, there's something only you can help with, that's why I need you there, I can't trust anyone else on this" Veer said there was a urgency in his voice. " Okay than, I'll accompany you" Aashi said with a small smile and left from there.

Time skip/Friday

I informed my mom that I'm going out for office work and maybe not returning today as I don't know where we are going. Veer sir directly picked me from my home. "Where we are going for this meeting Mr Maheshwari" I asked him. "Manali" he said "MANALI, wow!" I couldn't hide my excitement as I love Manali. "My client mostly stays abroad, so whenever he visits India, he stays in Manali" Veer explained to Aashi and Aashi made an "O" face.

When Aashi was looking outside the window, her eyes caught the amusement park "wow amusement park" Aashi unknowingly whispered. "You like amusement parks" Veer asked Aashi. "Yes a lot, don't you like, Mr Maheswari" Aashi asked being curious. "I don't know, I was ten when I last came to an amusement park" Veer said. "Really, that's been so long, I often used to come here with my friends, I really miss those days" Aashi said looking at the amusement park site and Veer just looked at her and chuckled. "Why are you laughing Mr Maheshwari, did I crack a joke" Aashi said while pouting. "I'm sorry Miss Malhotra, but you're looking like a kid who's whining for lost candy" Veer said while laughing.

Soon Veer and Aashi reached a restaurant where their client Mr Ahuja booked a VIP table for them. "Hello Mr Maheshwari, welcome" Mr Ahuja greeted Veer and asked him to join them where a girl around his age was already sitting. "Hello Mr Ahuja, pleasure to meet you" Veer handshaked Mr Ahuja and pointed Aashi to sit next to him. "Mr Maheshwari, meet my daughter, Suhana. She's around your age" Mr Ahuja said with a smile but his smile was hiding an agenda. "Nice to meet you Miss Suhana" Veer gave her a professional trained smile. "And who's this lady next to you Mr Maheshwari? Must be your secretary"  Mr Ahuja asked. " O no, she's my girlfriend" Veer said leaving everyone there shocked.

"WHAT!!" the three of them said in unison except Veer. "I'm not your damn girlfriend, Mr Maheshwari. Have you lost your mind" Aashi whispered shouted at him. "I'm sorry baby! Please don't be mad at me, I promise we will go to the movie next Friday and my whole weekend will be yours, okay sweetheart! Now don't be angry" Veer said while cupping Aashi's face with his palms and receiving death glare from Aashi.

"Mr Ahuja, just allow me two minutes with my love, she's really angry this time, actually I promised her to spend my time with her and here I am signing a deal with you" Veer said like a concerned boyfriend. "Sure Mr Maheshwari, take your time" Mr Ahuja said with an annoyed face and Veer dragged Aashi with him to the corner.

"What the hell! Mr Maheswari, have you completely lost it, how can you lie about it just like that" Aashi just burst out at him and before she could continue Veer putted him palms on her mouth making her stop continuous scolding. "Shhh! Aashi, they will hear you, please listen to me, I really need your help on this. I had this intuition that Mr Ahuja will bring marriage talk this time for signing this deal and my intuition seems to be right since he has come with daughter this time. And I can't really marry that girl, she is annoying as hell. She has been continuously looking at me since we came here" Veer said while rubbing his temples.
