CHAPTER.14 SECRETS AND SUSPICIONS

Vivan sat at a quaint café, laptop open, engrossed in work. Suddenly, a face caught his attention.

The girl, with a hint of recognition, approached him.
"Hey!!" she said with a smile.
Vivan's expression turned puzzled. "Do I know you?"
The girl laughed. "We met briefly. We my brother mayank gave you a lift the other day."
Vivan recalled and Vivan's eyes widened. "Oh yeah! You're the one I bumped into, and your files went flying!"
She nodded, chuckling. "That's me."
As they conversed, she introduced herself as Noor.
Noor mentioned her NGO that was struggling with fundraising.
"But then a colleague's friend helped with an amazing idea," Noor said.
Vivan's curiosity piqued. "What idea?"
Just as Noor began to explain, the idea vivan realized it was his idea"
Vivan added futher details to idea which made noor happy, but he did not mention that the idea was his  and he was on the phone that day .
Just as vivan was about to tell her that his girlfriend also works in NGO. Noor's phone rang.
"Sorry, I need to take this," Noor said, stepping away.
Vivan waited, noticing Noor's tense expression.
When she returned, Vivan asked, "Everything okay?"
Noor hesitated. "Yeah...work stuff."
Vivan returned to their conversation. "I was saying... that"
Again, Noor's phone rang.Vivan waited patiently.
After noor told him about the issue. Vivan thought of helping her and he told her about his friend who might help ,and various ideas were exchanged.
Just then kavya enters and asks vivan to come with her.
As they were going Vivan handed Noor the bussiness card of his friend, to make a contact.
Noor smiled. "Thanks, Vivan. This means a lot."
As Vivan left with Kavya, Noor's expression lingered, her eyes locked on Vivan's.
As they stepped out of the café, Vivan asked Kavya, "What's going on? Why the hurry?"
Kavya's eyes narrowed slightly. "How do you know Noor?"
Vivan explained, "We met briefly. She gave me a lift and after I bumped into her and her files went flying. And today, I ran into her again at the café."
What were you guys talking about?" asked kavya
"Nothing she mentioned her NGO's fundraising struggles and said, A stranger gave us an amazing idea. I listened intently, knowing I was the one who provided the idea." Chuckled vivan.
Kavya's gaze intensified. "Did you tell her about the idea? Or that you're my boyfriend?"

Vivan's expression turned confused. "No, I didn't."
Kavya exhaled, relief washing over her face. "Okay, that's fine."
Vivan's curiosity piqued. "Why? Was I not supposed to tell?"
Kavya's voice dropped to a whisper. "I just don't want her to know about us, okay?"
Vivan's confusion deepened. "Is everything alright?"
Kavya forced a smile. "Yeah, everything's fine."
"if you want me to not talk to her I will not" said vivan
" no no there is nothing like that but just don't tell her about us"
"but why" questioned vivan
"I just don't want to" replied kavya
"as you say ,madam" said vivan caressing her.
The tension lingered, unsaid concerns hanging between them.
As Kavya and Vivan conversed, a motorcycle screeched to a halt before them.
The rider eyed Kavya. "Hey, hop in."
Vivan's confusion deepened. "Who is this?"
Kavya's face drained of color, her eyes wide with fear.
"Uh, what... dakshay?" she stuttered.
Kavya waved him off, her voice trembling. "No, no, I'll be late. I have work."
dakshay raised an eyebrow. "I can wait."
Kavya's excuse spilled out hastily. "I...I forgot my phone charger."
dakshay nodded, unconvinced. "Okay, later then."
As he sped away, Vivan turned to Kavya.
"Who was that?" Vivan asked, concern etched on his face.
Kavya's eyes darted around, evading Vivan's gaze.
"Oh, just...a colleague," she stammered.
Vivan's skepticism grew. "A colleague?"
Kavya forced a laugh. "Yeah, from work. Don't worry about it."
Vivan's eyes narrowed, sensing Kavya's deception.
Vivan's eyes narrowed. "A colleague, huh? Why did you lie about having work? You're free, aren't you?"
Kavya's smile faltered.
"Who was he, really?" Vivan pressed.
Kavya brushed his arm, her tone playful. "Yeah, he was a colleague. And I was with you, na? No need to explain."
Vivan's skepticism lingered.
Kavya leaned in, her voice sweet. "Janu, I wanted to spend time with you. That's why I told him to go. Otherwise, I would've gone with him."
Vivan raised an eyebrow. "You would've?"
Kavya's hands wrapped around Vivan's. "No, babes, I didn't mean it like that. We hardly spend time together nowadays. I wanted this moment with you."
Vivan's expression softened, though doubts still lingered.
"Really?" he asked, seeking reassurance.
Kavya nodded, her eyes locked on his. "Really, janu. Just us, today."
Vivan's concerns slowly dissipated, replaced by affection.
And they went to spent some us time together.

What is kavya hiding?
Why did she lie that dakshay was work collegue?
Why did kavya wanted to keep their relation secret from noor?
