*******************
"TUM?"

Both said looking at each other, the memories of the past flashed before them as they looked at each other. When Avni had known about her meeting with a certain Jatin Roy never did she imagine that it would be the same person who was her past. Tears threatened to spill out of her eyes, but she controlled herself, she could not let herself fall weak. On the other hand, the situation with Jatin was no different never in his wild dreams did he expect that the past would come knocking back into his life and in the most unexpected situation. There was silence as both were still trying to comprehend the situation.

"Hi Avni" said Jatin breaking the silence

"It's Ms.Avni Goyal but you can call me Ms.Goyal, And I would prefer any one of these Mr.Roy" Avni snapped back at him as Jatin was taken aback a bit, he could understand her reaction but then he had to handle the situation carefully, this was a very big opportunity for his firm and he could let it go because of some personal issues.

"Sure Ms.Goyal, Glad to meet you" Jatin replied calmly

"Please have a seat Mr. Roy" said Avni as Jatin settled down as Avni asked him "What would you like to have Mr.Roy"

"A coffee would do and you can call me Jatin, Ms.Goyal" he said as Avni looked at him, without a word she picked up the intercom and called her secretary "One Strong coffee with One teaspoon of Sugar" she ordered as Jatin's head shot up to look at her.

"You still remember" he said with a smile as Avni mentally scolded herself for getting carried away but the next moment she replied, "I wish I didn't" as Jatin's face fell "You hate me so much" he said as Avni looked at him in sadness.

"We are to discuss about work Mr.Roy, not our personal lives" she snapped back as Jatin controlled himself from saying anything further

"So, shall we start?" he asked as Avni replied "Just a moment" she picked up the intercom and called Dev's secretary asking her to send Dev to her cabin for the meeting.

As they were waiting for Dev to arrive Jatin asked "So, How's life been Avni?" as she shot an exasperated look at him, here she was trying to avoid any reference to their past but Jatin was making it difficult for her.

"Mr. Roy, I guess I had made it very clear that we are here for work and not to discuss our personal lives. I would really appreciate if you could just remember that" she shot back at him angrily, as Jatin internally chuckled, he knew how much she was affected with his presence, but she was trying to put a strong façade in front of him and this is what he loved about her.

"Avni, please listen to me once" said Jatin as he kept his hand on top of hers which was on the table.

"How dare you touch me Mr.Roy?" Avni shouted angrily as she stood up while Jatin got up as well seeing her intense reaction, never had he expected such a reaction from her. Just then Dev walked in opening the cabin door but the scene in front befuddled him as he saw Avni whose body language suggested she was angry and then he looked at the stranger who seemed to be equally perplexed while looking at Avni.

"I am sorry, I should have knocked" said Dev as Avni's anger seemed to dissipate listening to her friend's voice which did not go unnoticed by Jatin.
