AM PM - A Forever Love Story

ch 13: UNEXPECTED

4th march 2024

There are some days in my life which I don't want to face, days which remind me of my past and that I don't want. So today is one of that day 4th march my old friends birthday. SARA, her name. we were in the same class from 6th to 10th. We became friends in 7th class. we had or maybe we still have the Friendship which cannot be broken means friendship for forever i guess.so back to today its her birthday and i don't want to wish her but i sometimes can't handle things maybe because of our bond i don't know but i always wish her through Skype . she lives in London and she is a fashion designer she is great in her work but not better then my fashion designer because its one of the top. so back to present day I as usual went to office and ignored the fact that i have to wish someone i reached office and as usual everyone greeted me but there is something missing that is my receptionist BARKHA . she is with me from the start and she deserve this job or maybe better than this but as I said you cant handle all the things. hmm.. so i reached my cabin and because of the non handle thing I immediately reached for my laptop and opened Skype to wish Sara. she immediately accepted the call maybe because she was waiting or expecting me. whatever it is .

"happy birthday sara " i said while skyping her.

"thank you so much pia" she said while clapping her hands like a child.

"hmmmmm......" i said while smiling.

"i wish you were here pia . i miss you so much." she said while making a puppy face.

"hmmm....." i said.

"pia how's your company going? i have heard it is one of the top. wow " she said.

"yeah. i guess" i said while smiling.

"pia you remember our school days. we used to be crazy....................

she went on and on talking about our school days and in my head all those memory where coming and making me smile more and more even if i don't want. my smile got wide and it happened every time.after few minutes i realized that arjun is standing on the door and watching me with a smile . he was wearing white shirt with black court and black pant and was looking stunning. for sometime i was not able to take my eyes of him but soon i realized that i am pia singh . He came inside and took a seat. i closed the laptop and said

"you are late mister malhotra" i said.

"And you were chatting with your friend on your working hours" he said.

"don't try to act smart and change the topic" i said rudely while folding my hands.i continued "and by the way i was talking about work." i lied.

"ohh so talking about your childhood memories is your work now" he said and winked me.

"excuse me?" i said while staring at him with anger.

"sorry sorry miss pia. you get offended really early" he said with a smile and continued " and if you don't mind who was it?". suddenly from his SORRY it reminded me of "that boy" actually it reminded me of him. what it make no sense and off course my head starting thinking again. i stood up and went to the washroom. on my way to the washroom and back to the washroom my head was thinking about "that boy", should i tell him that i have been thinking about you? what should i do and when i reached office he was sitting there and patiently waiting for me . After 2 hours my work was over. arjun stood up and bend forward and said " miss pia singh your eyes say lot of things.so an advise you should work on your expression because it shows your emotions" . he moved away and suddenly he turned and said " and yes your smile is perfect specially when you were doing a face time". he went away and i just stood there without moving a inch. i was free till 6:00 clock. i reached home then freshened up and ate something by then navya was home also . she did the same thing like i did . we rested for sometime and at 8:00 clock navya requested me to go for a walk with her and i couldn't refuse her. we were downstairs walking and chatting. when we saw kabir, tej and arjun standing and talking. navya got happy and joined them leaving me alone. i was standing there talking on my phone when i saw arjun coming towards me . i did not want him to come near me or talk to me but like i said "can't handle some situation". within a second he was standing in front of me .

" hey partner" he said with a smile. i ignored him and continued talking on my phone.

"opps sorry for disturbing. SORRY" he said. " sorry " not again . i sometimes feel he is saying it with a purpose. i opened my mouth to say something to him but then i dropped the idea. i hanged the phone.

"you want to say something miss pia? " he said coming near me.

"n.....noo" i said while avoiding eye contact with him.

"hmm....." he said. it was a awkward situation and i was not liking this . so i decided to go away from him. i was leaving when he called my name. "pia" he said. i looked behind and saw that he was again coming towards me.

"pia in your cabin i said something about your smile that it is beautiful and i also wanted to say that you look gorgeous from the balcony" he whispered in my ears.he looked into my eyes and smiled and continued " i am sorry for banging with you, sorry for the files that slipped from your hand" we stared into each others eyes. i was lost in his eyes. whenever he is near me i feel like the time has stopped and people around us are still. my heart beat gets fast, typical movie style. we were still staring into each others eyes but navya broke the stare.

"uhm uhm . pia lets go home " she said while holding my hand and moving actually dragging me from the place as i was still. i was walking when i looked back and saw arjun smiling and waving his hand to me. i didn't knew how to react so i just looked towards him again. he was still staring and smiling . i was confused and i never expected this. i never expected that he knew what i wanted to ask or say. my head was spinning with questions which have no answer.

The days passed so fast. Today is 6th march ,2024 two days have passed and i cant keep my mind away from arjun. every day i meet him for the work and every time he is near me or talking to me i feel strange but in a good away. he is irritating ,weird and many thing but still i get a positive vibes.

In the office

I finished my work and was going home when arjun called my name.i stopped and looked at him. he was coming near me i did not wanted to be near him so i looked away. he was standing behind me and i didn't wanted to turn but i did but this time with a force. suddenly i felt my head heavy as if someone has hit me with a hammer. opps.... it was arjun's head.

"ouchhh....." i said while holding my head and rubbing it.

"oh shit i am sorry." he said.

"oh man is your head a hammer?" i said.

"i am sorry pia" he said. he came near me held me hand and kept his hand on my head. he blew towards my head. i was again still could not move. he stared into my eyes and i did the same. we were again lost. he tilted his head little bit to the right and kissed my upper lips. his lips were moving  very slowly and sweetly. his hands were on my cheeks holding it very carefully. he continued kissing me but i didnt kissed him back . within other second i realized that i should stop him and so i did . i pushed him away and said " what the fuck? what the hell were you thinking you fucking asshole ?" i shouted at the top of my voice . " pia i.. i " he tried saying but i interrupted him. " shut up . you don't dare to clarify yourself . you boys are same exactly the same. you all want the same thing . buss off" i said and went away. i drove back home parked my car and was walking towards my house when some flashback came from the night i dont want to remember. within a minute i was on the floor all i could see was the flash of car light . it stopped near me and next thing i remember was that a man coming near me.
