Stay.

She just nodded in a no and turned from him. His heart sank in his chest leaving the heartless case still intact craving for its piece to get back. He never knew he would ever feel so bad on watching a stranger-two day friend-boss's boss- sexy bitch's retreating figure. She moved towards the car where Tina and their driver were waiting with their luggages packed n placed in the car. As sonakshi paced towards the car, the driver ignited the engine as well.

"Sonakshi.."
She stopped in a haze and turned immediately, who the fuck called her with this name. Since very long she had been called as either Ms.Bose or Mam.

There he was, panting a little, he ran to her and stood in front for her. Why the hell is he making it more difficult for her. She wanna stay.

"Sonakshi.....Mam (pause)
I brought this for you, for..One last time" he forwarded her the black rose the bouquet. She looked at him and there was something that pacified her, like something she wanted to see, oh not love! It's the never ending hope he is keeping inside, she wanted him to be that way, to never loose hope of loosing her and to keep putting all his endeavours till the end of the war, she wanted him to not give up on her.

The driver ended the engine's fire and it went silent.
What the world is witnessing, no one gives a fuck.
She took the bouquet from his hand and smiled, that smile could have got a tear as well, but this is Sonakshi Bose I'm talking about people, she knows very well how to stop the hurtening lump in the throat and undo the upcoming tear in the eyes. She knows to control herself.

She looked down at the bouquet and then looked up with a gracious smile.

"You..Pack your bags
You are coming with us" that bossy boss is back. Her attitude, her poised and composed cold behavior is what makes her a bitch of fragile heart.

"What?? Me" he was shocked obviously.

"Yes, you
I want you
Aa..
I want you to come with us, we need to plan the garden of our new hotel" she fumbled but she is a pro.

He was confused for a while, does she really want HIM to accompany them because he is a good flowerist/gardener.
In addition to his confusion a melodious voice came from behind
"But mam, we are not even sure yet if the hotel will be made there or not because workers are on strike remember"
Yes, the savoir the godmother Tina jumped in between to save her mam from everything right  and put it in wrong.

Sonakshi turned to her with a face mommies  make when they want to say *ghar chal tujhe batati hu* and said
" Tina my darling...
Have you been fool like this since your 25 ages or is it exclusively for me"

Tina got her cue.

"Why are you standing here like dumb, didn't you hear me, go pack your bags and come asap, we have to leave as well" she ordered him and he couldn't process, so just ran from there.

A while later,
In the car.

Sonakshi asked the driver to get off as Dev will be riding and she doesn't want more people to come up with her. Her logics.
Dev was driving and was happy, one can see his happiness meeting his eyes and eye bag turning upwards, his face glowing like any LED light, meanwhile sonakshi was happy too.
She made a move for herself, finally.

Suddenly Dev switched on the radio, because without music travelling is like man without dick.

Kiska h ye tumko intezaar mai hu na...

Sonakshi heard the lyrics mingling in her ears and before she could turn to look at him,

Dekh lo idhar tum ek bar mai hu na...
Khamosh q ho jo bhi kehna h kahooo
Jee chahe jitna pyar utna mang lo..
Tumko milega utna pyar
Mai hu naaaa...
Kiska h ye tumko intezar mai hu na.

Kon kon isko ga ga ke padh ra h?

Now, she couldn't move from her place. She could feel his gaze over her and hear his humming along with the tune but she felt so relatable of the lyrics that time that she couldn't do what was asked in the song.

She felt uncomfortable, listening something so relatable and connecting at that time. How on earth something like this can happen to her? It's been just two fuckjng days and she is feeling like a strong magnet towards him. Like he has read all the chapters of her life and she cant just help herself but hide behind the pillow for him to not read anymore.

Soon the shrill of Tina diverted her mind. Tina saw the beautiful picturesque scenario of the Bombay-Puna expressway. Beautiful waterfalls leaving their body carelessly and falling down and down and down to what, we never know.
Sonakshi looked outside the window and felt the breeze washing her fear and concerns all away. She found the water fall so alluring. She wanted to fall like this.

The music, the water fall, the Dev beside her, it all felt so perfect at that time and in the meantime, Dev was happy for no reason at all.

"Aamchi mumbai, apratim mumbai( our mumbai, awesome mumbai) " He was proud of his state and it's beauty.

"Kya bola tu?" Tina asked with suspicious eyes, as if he cussed her,, as if she isn't cussed enough by her madam.
Anyways, less humorous girl.

"I said
Aamchi mumbai, apratim mumbai"

"Are what does this mean, I heard what you said"

"To google krne ka na madam"

"My mumbai, awesome mumbai" who is this? Sonakshi.
She knows marathi...How the fuck.
Dev and tina looked at her whilst she was polishing her nails in pride.

"What.....
I know marathi ok.." as fed up with the suspicious glares.

"Tumhi maharashtrian aahat ka?
Tumhala marathi mahit aahe ka?"
( Are you maharashtian?
Do you know marathi?)
Dev chirped like a new born bird chirps for the first time, so zealous.

She laughed at his enthusiasm and looked at him
"Ektu, ektu" said cutely.

"Ektu ektu..What
Wait
Bengali
What the fuck...?" He got confused

She laughed more and looked his confused face. " Im a bengali chhela Mr.Dixit, I just know some of various languages, I like learning new languages and cultures, it helps in connecting with more people as I have a job sprawled in all over the world."
Finally...

The mystery of bengali mulgi(ldki) solved.

"No one is going to speak in marathi here please, I don't understand a single word"

"Tujha tonda band kara"
(Shut up your mouth)
Both said in unison.
