Kehne Ko Humsafar Hein

Episode 42: Life pondering

Pooh and Abhi walked down from Rohit's office. He had gently held her hands while walking towards the parking lot. Rohit had seen that scenario from his window. He was a bit upset and envious. 

Michelle, his assistant logged out of his laptop and asked him to leave.  He decided to wind up the day but Ana had sent him food.  It was some boiled veggies and some sandwiches. He made a face and finished his lunch.

He called for his driver and he did not know where he should go? He got peace of mind in Ana's apartment - Love Nest.  His bungalow made him gloomy in his emptiness. He drove to the bungalow expecting Ana to be at home.

Abhi had made Pooh sit in the car. He played some light music. She looked disturbed. After covered sometime, she covered her face and she was weeping. The thought of Rohit unwell was building her fears. Michelle,  standing so close to him and her touch on his shoulders,  gave a bad omen feeling to her. She was determined that she won't allow Rohit to cheat Ana. 

"He is a womaniser." Poonam tightened her palms. She had a strong desire to punch Michelle.

Abhi stopped the car.  Pooh looked into his eyes, she was shocked what was Abhi planning to do?

He pulled his head,  closer to her. She took her head back and her head hurt.
"He smiled and wiped her tears.  His touch was magical. He took her to the ice - cream parlour."

Pooh ordered a chocolate ice - cream. She checked her phone.  Rohit had messaged her.

"Poonam, I have never appreciated you ever.  You were my eyes but I was blind and I am happy for you and congratulations on your new job and helping me to get a new client. "

She was startled. She simply messaged him :

"Thank you, Rohit for your kind words. You seem to be disturbed. Go home and get some rest. "

Her phone dropped down. She was about to pick it up but Abhi showed the male -chivalry. 

Poonam was impressed and was getting attracted towards him. 

"Sir,  thank you. " She was shy.

"Call me Abhi... No formalities. " He winked.

"Was he crossing the limits?" Poonam had her doubts.  She was liking it. She hoped like films and rosy novels,  she too got the love of her life. She was not like her sister Sheena. Both were opposite poles. Sheena dated even after getting divorced, thrice.

" One divorce shut the door for Pooh. She had forgotten the definition of Love. She wanted to rewind and play the symphony of that feeling but the keys of her emotion piano gave unpleasant tunes. "

She was feeling restless from inside and requested Abhi to start for their office.

"It was sunny hot.  A girl and a boy were smooching under an umbrella."

She could not see their faces. A broad smile decked her face but suddenly it turned into a frown.  The girl was Nikki and boy Takshu. They were not yet engaged.

"Nikki -Nikki ..." Poonam yelled...

The yell was like an electrifying shock. Nikki dropped her ice -cream.  

"The chocolate cream mixed with the dust of the ground and the stray dog licking it without being bothered or unable to differentiate the chocolate chips and sand particles signified her life. "

Her happily married life status was easily crushed down and now at an early 40's, she was looking for a perfect match was an irony.

Nikki was embarrassed when Mom asked her to go home.
