"Dhruvika.."
The duo heard a female voice and snapped their heads at the owner of the voice..
"Vruz...!!" she squealed jumping from the couch and ran in arms of a lady in dark blue formal knee length dress..
"Dhruvika..!!" Dhruv murmured her name and felt some unknown sense of satisfaction..
He smiled on his own as he realized their names was kinda familiar..
He saw her giggling and squealing in joy as the lady whom Dhruvika addressed as Vruz tickiled the side of her tiny waist..
Zeppelin too ran to them and started taking rounds of them wiggling his tail..
"Mr. Narang.." Carla called Dhruv standing beside him..
But neither he felt her presence nor paid attention to her voice..
He was just staring at Dhruvika's happy face..
Her giggles were injecting life in his cells..
"Mr. Narang.." this time she called a little louder, thus gaining his attention..
"Huhh.. Huh..!!" Dhruv was clueless..
"Mr. Narang, the meeting is over..
Mam will see you now..
Take the elevator.. Her cabin is on the fourth floor, at the end of the corridor.." Carla informed and gave direction..
"Thank you.." Dhruv chipped quickly feeling hell nervous..
"No problem, sir.." she chipped with a trained smile and left..
Dhruv exhaled deeply and headed towards the elevator glancing at Dhruvika one last time...
.
.
.
He felt his heart beating in his mouth as the elevator door ping opened at fourth floor..
They were together for years.. It was true that Hemal left him, broke her promise.. But she didn't broke their friendship..
And moreover there wasn't a single day in those five years when he didn't wish to see her again..
And when he was getting the opportunity to see her once again he was scared, nervous, anxious, happy, overwhelmed and what not..
Dhruv himself had no idea that why he was feeling that way..
But he got one thing that those emotions were making him weak..
Still he somehow reached till the door of her cabin taking baby steps..
He gave him a minute to muster up some courage and strength before knocking the door..
"May I come in.." he asked tentatively gulping the lump in his throat..
"Yes.. Please..!!" almost immediately he heard her voice..
Her soft soothing voice, that too after freaking five years..
His ears were at peace as they heard her..
And suddenly he felt a urgent need to let his eyes have their share of peace..
Hence without wasting a single second he pushed open the door and stepped inside..
And there she was, standing between a glass table and her chair, looking at him without blinking..
Neither of them uttered anything or made any movement..
They were quite unsure about how to react..
They keep rooted on there place staring at each other..
They could clearly notice each other's glossy eyes and quivering lips..
Both wanted to rush to each other's arms and cry their hearts out..
But they stopped themselves to do so..
Dhruv mentally noted that her features were still the same..
But her dull glowless face and thick dark circles under her eyes pained him..
But he had to admit that she was looking very pretty in her simple pleated black knee length A-line dress..
A couple of seconds later Hemal tore her gaze from him and looked everywhere except him..
"Umm..!! Come.. Have a seat..!!" she gulped..
Dhruv walked up to her table and sat in front of her..
And this whole time his gaze was fixing on her..
She too sat down without looking at him and fidgeting with her fingers..
They were sitting in silence..
Hemal twice looked at him but finding him gazing her with undivided attention she again looked down..
Dhruv could clearly see how nervous and scared she was..
"This is not the Hemal I knew.. She always had her chin up..
She never used to look down..
I know you are feeling guilty..
Why did you do that, Hemal??
Why did you do something which is making you guilty..??
Because of which you can't even match my eyes..
Why, Hemal??
In this five years I always wish for your happiness.. I thought you must be happy with the person who was ready to give your and his relationship a name..
But you're looking anything but happy..
Why I'm having a feeling that something is really wrong..
What's wrong, Hemal..??" he mentally groaned and looked away..
He took a deep breath and again looked at her..
