I and Elham we both are upset as we land back in India, Bangkok was so much fun. I felt like crying as I missed the place, Elham had fun time leg pulling me for that. Javed Khalu is at the airport, Elham wanted to go hug her father but she stopped herself. Ever since Saif fiasco, there is a crack in this father-daughter duo.

Back home Elham couldn't stop talking about our experience, Khala and Mamma were really interested in listening.

Elham helps the ladies make dinner, while I sit with Javed Khalu. Khalu informs me that the tenant of our apartment will shift and I, Mamma and Elham can move there. I nod.

At Dinner Elham announced she is going to work tomorrow. Khala suggested her to not go for work tomorrow but Elham says she has already missed so many days she can't afford to loose more days.

I suggested I will drop her to the office and that way she can show me around the place too. I had suggested so because I know she might be reminded of Saif there.

That night she herself brought up the topic 'Juwaid' she says sitting next to me on the bed. I am sitting on the bed reading a novel, I turn my head and look at her. She looks upset. I smile at her warmly.

'I will miss Saif so much there, every day I used to see him. Kriti, my colleague was saying that we have a temporary boss, Dinesh Choudhary. I hope Saif sorts his problem soon' she says sadly. I place my hand on her shoulder.

'Elham, honestly I think you should look for some other job' I suggested. She shakes her head, and shifts closer entangling her arm with mine, she rests her head on my shoulder.

I give up resting my head over hers. Soon enough, I hear her snore. I tilted my head and find her sleeping. I rested her gently on her side and covered her with the duvet. I stuck the ear plugs in my ears, switching off the light I lay down. I frown as I felt the duvet slide off me.

Next day, on Elham's suggestion I wore a navy blue slim fit shirt and white pants. She comes in the room and compliments me, I look at her. She is dressed in v neck emerald green long Kurthi and black palazzo, her hair tied with a black banana clip, her natural wavy hair giving it a beautiful look. She has applied minimal makeup, kohl and lip gloss, it is making her look elegant and beautiful. I compliment her too and she smiles widely.

I still haven't got my driver's license so Elham is driving me to her place. Throughout the way she kept showing me around, strangely her constant blabbering not affecting me anymore. In fact, I was enjoying her talks.

She stops at a stall and insists me to have some snacks, but I refused stating I am already full from the breakfast, she made me promise that after office I will have. I agreed.

I am impressed by the office, its huge. The entire place is elegant with beautiful flooring and lighting. I look around.

'Impressive Haina! At first it was boring but Saif had it renovated' Elham says and I simply nod. She takes me to her cabin, I noticed the wall I had always seen in case we chat when she is in office. The decoration is the same. There is one other girl in the cabin.

'Hey, Elham!' she says happily, the girl's hug.

'Kriti, this is Juwaid and Juwaid meet my colleague and friend, Kriti' Elham introduces us, I smile politely at Kriti. She smiles widely at me and then looks at Elham. She nudges her arm

'You are very handsome' Kriti complements and I smile awkwardly.

'Hey watch it, he is my best friend' Elham says possessively wrapping her hands around my arm.
