Subject: UPDATE YOUR BLOG ASAP.

Dear AR,

I would sincerely like to know that why the hell your blog is not updated. I guess I should really give a second thought on you working from home. You are not using your perks, you're misusing it.
Listen to me carefully, I want you to update your blog asap and try something new, I don't want that boring tales of yours. Give something uncommon to your readers and followers. Now update it or you'll be fired.

Regards,
Venkatesh Berman,
Chief Editor,
The Verve Int. Holdings.

I'm really fucked now, what am I gonna give "New" to readers. It's not easy to find a fantastic ideas.

I opened my blog, official fb page and Twitter handle in different tabs. I was trying to think about something new that I can give to my readers. I was scrolling the news feed when my eye caught a painting. The painting portrayed a poor little girl watching another young fellow playing with a Barbie, her eyes seemed eloquent as if she was paitiently waiting for her turn. I clicked on the page, it was of the official page of an artist RV, I scrolled the whole page to see his paintings and guess I was mesmerized.
All the paintings, sketches were somehow depicting different emotions. One painting was of hands praying, like Muslims do when they offer namaz, it depicted faith. I was mesmerized by the way the artist had potrayed all the emotions. Simple but in beautifull way.
Then it hit me, I finally got and idea sirji..

I quickly clicked on my blog's tab and updated my status.

"Hey folks, I'm so excited to share the news with you all. Since I wanted to know my readers more so here I give you a chance for you all.
I know that everyone is attached to that one emotion which defines them, which define the most about this feelings, so I want my all readers out there to share that emotion with being anonymous like me.
You just have to sumbit the your word of emotion here on the link given below.

http://www.document submit.arblog.verve.org

You just have to write a word of emotion like love, betrayal, lust, first time, wonders, wanders etc with a no. Which makes you differ.
Like : #98 Love

Then, I'll write a 2 to 3 sentences story depicting that emotion. Small, simple yet powerful.
At least I will try to.
Hope you all like it.

See you soon, I hope I'll get a good response. I'll be waiting for you all. Love ya."

I sighed and hoped that my readers would find it interesting.
As soon as I linked the blog with document link, I already had 10 submits. Now all I have to do is write the stories.

After 30 minutes I again updated a status.

"I'm so happy and excited. I loved your submit and I will try to write the story on all the sumbits. Every evening from now I'll update those short tales depicting your emotions.
Love ya."

For a start,

#24 Heal

A flower withered,
It's final petals lost their hue,
Fresh buds bloomed,
Broken hearts do HEAL.

#02 Virgin

Undressed by hungry eyes,
Rolled over by endless likes,
And kissed by undone pages;
A VIRGIN story shivered as a plagiarist walked in.

#876 Funny

A million dollar company,
A million dollar smile,
A million dollar wedding;
FUNNY, she never asked for dowry.

*****

I was going through the comments and tweets about my block when I saw a person's comment from who I got inspired, the same artist RV. His comment was full of appreciation which I found really proud cause at least my mentor, my idol, the person inspired me unknowingly liked my work.

Aditi's POV

I was talking to Aryaman when someone called me from behind, I instantly recognized the voice and was frozed on the spot, he again called me, this time with a more authorative voice. I turned around and was about to say something when boy passing by suddenly slipped and broke his laptop, making 2 other people slipping with him. I was laughing my head out when I saw Aarav from my peripheral, he actually did not find it amusing instead his eyes was fixed on Aryaman, giving him death glares. He was walking towards me with angry young man expression. I was about to introduce both of them but to my surprise they hugged each other, I was utterly confused at their gesture but Aarav on seeing my confused state, told me about Aryaman being his childhood friend and a business partner, he was also going to attend the meeting with us.
"At least I will have a better company", I mumbled.
"Excuse me, did you said something?", Aarav asked my deliberately.
I knew they both heard and Aryaman was finding it hard to swallow his laughter.

After 30 minutes we were on board, Aryaman took his seat beside me which of course Aarav was not liking but at least it was better than sitting with him in an awkward situation. Journey was of 4 hours, after 1 hour of talking and chatting, Aryaman was asleep so I opened my laptop to complete some of the left to do things. In between working I stole a glance at Aarav to check what he is doing, to my disappointment, I mean I felt that feeling at that time when I saw him writing something in his phone and smiling. I was curious to know to whom he was talking. Of course one of his girlfriends or may be just the random girl, and here I was thinking May be he was telling the truth about his first kiss.
I shoved off the thought and got engaged myself in my work.

We're about to land when I felt Aryaman cupped my wrist tightly, I glanced over him and saw he was pale, in between his breathes he told me at he was scared of quivering of the plan while it lands. I didn't say anything but nodded giving him the permission to hold my hand.

Aarav's POV

I was waiting for Aditi from last 30 minutes, how can she be late, didn't I informed her about the timing. Aayegi bhi Ya ni!!
And that's when I saw Aryaman but he was with a girl, wait she seems to be familiar, as he turned back, she was Aditi, what she's doing with Aryaman?
I was curious to know that how did he know Aditi and never told me. I marched towards them giving Aryaman a death glare, but the look on the Aditi's face was so amusing that it was so hard not to smile. Aditi was about to make me stop I guess when I hugged Aryaman, the confused Aditi asked what's happening!
I then told her about Aryaman being my childhood friend and a business partner. Then we boarded the plane, I was about to take the seat next Aditi cause of course it was my private jet, but Aryaman already took it. I was annoyed cause I wanted to talk to her, apologize to her, clear the misunderstanding. Now that I missed the chance, I engaged myself in my work. I saw them talking, I felt sad, I was angry with myself, seeing Aditi laughing and happy with him, why can't I make her laugh like the way Aryaman is making her.
I know I liked her, but why am I jealous, no I am not.
I shoved off the thought and concentrated on the screen in front of me.

We're about to reach Prague, I glanced at Aditi and saw Aryaman holding her hand, now I was boiling inside, how can she be so comfortable with a person she just met. I ignored them and proceeded as soon as we landed.
Whole car ride towards the hotel, I ignored talking to them.
Aryaman didn't joined us in our car cause he had to go to meet her sister and would be staying at her place during the visit. At least I'm glad, he is not with us.

As we arrived at the Hotel La Paerla Grandeur, one of their senior staff came to escort us.

"Dobrý den, pane", she greeted

"Dobrý den", I politely replied with a nod.

Hearing me speaking Czech, Aditi was surprised.
