Promise of luv

"Jealousy is sometimes the first indication of love brewing between two people. Envy might be one of the seven deadly sins,but its also a beautiful emotion to see.."

This time when the girls met the secretary at SE ,they were both invited inside Mr. Sekhawats office. Naina was grateful for that. No matter how excited she was at the prospect of being face-to-face again with the man who ruled her dreams,and showing him her designs,she was not sure she could face him again without Shalini. Till now,things had turned out considerably smooth. Mr. Singh had loved the designs and even Mrs. Singh had grudgingly approved of them. Shalini had corrected some technical flaws in the design. So they were set to meet Mr. Sekhawat and blow his mind-thats how Shalini put in

But the problem, Naina realized,was that he was not the kind of man who was blown away so easily. What if he hated her designs? The thought crossed her mind more than once. For all the confidence she had in her work,she was almost shaking with fear as they made their way to his office and there he was. Sitting on one of the couch busy in his phone.

Once she set her eyes on him,she could not look away. She was stumped. She had prepared herself for the man to be dressed in a sharp suit and crisp shirt waiting for her,but his casual demeanour made her stop short. He was dressed in a worn-out sunlight red tee,with its label barely visible. At first glance,she thought they were bought in that condition,but it slowly dawned on her that they had become so over time. This was obviously his work outfit.

Naina- hii

Shalini- Hi!! Shalini Singhal.

Rajveer- hello..
He looked towards Naina..
Didn't I ask you to call me?

Naina- What? Oh,mujhe laga aapke secretary se baat karke appointment lena zyada accha hoga..

Rajveer- did you? Khair..designs ready hai??

Naina- haan... living space,one bedroom and the hallway.. as its bed-and-breakfast,all the rooms will be more or less of the same design..have a look..

Rajveer- lemme see..

He opened the folder and took in the first page. He poured over the designs half curious and half surprised- he had not expected. In a good way,though. He turned pages and scrutinized the designs carefully. She was so confident while making the designs but when he was seeing those designs her confidence level dropped.

For some in decipherable reason,that man had an inexplicable impact on her. She cared about the Singh mansion project, but more than that she cared about what Mr. Sekhawat thought about her design...

She tried to gauge his expressoon,but his face was oddly impassive. After what seemed like two lifetimes,he finally looked up. He met her eyes....and he didnt say anything..

She was cursing him in her head when he finally said..

Rajveer- kab complete kar ke de sakti hai aap??
