Enchanted Pursual (Complete)

Chapter 22

Mitali Jain

I swing opened the glass doors of the building and smiled at the watchmen walking straight towards the lift. I noticed how most of the employees had already left and the place that Maria would always take so happily stood bare and empty.

It made me realize how different places aren't really beautified by the interiors or the famous things that we use to decorate them. The true beauty is reflected to them by the people leaving and working there.

Just the way how this office looks bare and unpleasing without its employees!

Boarding the lift I pressed the 15 number and waited for a mere minutes or seconds to finally reach the destination. As the lift went up with each of the floors, it reminded me the number of times I have already been here.

The first blazing and horrifying way I had barged into Jai's cabin. The romantic manner in which Jai had got me here for our first date, more like to know each other. I found myself laughing at it; somewhere it seems silly to bring your date on your first date at your office and show her your office.

But that was the most I liked about Jai... he knew what was important for him, and he didn't hesitate to let me know beforehand. Giving me the lead in our relationship!

As the lift came to a halt, I walked out chuckling at the small ding of the lift and turning towards the left. It seemed meeting each other on the left side had been our thing.

As I neared the cabin, I saw a few suited men standing up as Jai rubbed his forehead. I walked towards a distance such that he wouldn't really notice me yet I would get to see him and watched the way he kept on huffing again and again.

As he let out his breath once again for the uncountable time, I felt guilty for not realizing how he might as well be affected by certain things.

In our relationship of 1 month, we have grown quite close... yet I failed to miss the miseries in Jai's eyes. And as I kept on looking at the way he banged the file shouted at the two men, I realized, Jai wasn't really the person whom I had always met... he was a very different person when he was a business man.

And how easy was it for him to hide his feelings, his worries, and his thoughts from him.

It was as if the more I would try to understand him... I would always be at loss. Then what would really be good to do?

With the jumbled thoughts still alive in my brain I walked towards the small pantry that Veer had always talked about. Finding my way in it, I prepared 3 cups of coffee, pouring them in the cup and dishing them on the tray I walked back towards Jai's cabin and knocked the door.

The surprise on his face was evident as he quickly looked at me and then at the watch and let out a few curses as he saw it was already 7:30 almost an hour had passed after the decided time for our meeting.

"I am really –"

"sorry? You don't have to be, I had left the office early today" I said stopping him from apologizing for something he wasn't at any fault. He stood up quickly and walked up to me and took hold of the tray from my hand and kissed my forehead.

Though it was a complete 180 degree turn to his behavior, and surely had not just surprised me but as well as the other people.

"I thought it would be a nice coffee break?"

"you ... okay, guys let's take a small break," he looked at me as I smiled, and then I saw him taking a deep breath once again as he let out a chuckle and said, "no, let's do this tomorrow you can retire for the day."
