38: Stranger!!??

Nandini's pov:

" i am so sorry!" i said to the man i dashed with..i looked up to witness relatively unfamiliar face, his attire was entirely different too it didn't seem he worked here as an employee in any manner..

I couldn't see his face as his eyes were stuck to the ground and he had these huge glasses on with a black cap that he kept continuously figiting with, he never for once looked in my direction and before i could say anything he walked away in jet speed..i looked at his retreating figure with furrowed eyes as he walked faster than a normal person almost running...his behavior was weird..i got these instant negative vibes from him, even though the encounter was merely a sec this stranger and his strange behavior was something i couldn't help but ponder on..

I kept looking at him until he was no longer visible to me wih my eyes furrowed...
* nandiniii! Chill ho sakta hai koi worker ho kuch thek karne aaya ho ya kuch aur stop worrying unnecessarily* it was my subconscious..i figured out she did have a point so i decided to shrug it off..

I turned around only to step two steps back seeing someone standing soo close

" aryamaan..what the hell!!! You scared mee!!" i said keeping my right palm on my heart and trying to calm myself down in return he gave me a sheepish smile...

" vahi toh..dhayaan kaha hai tumhara main kabse yaha khada hu par tum pata nahi kise dekh rahi thi" he said..

" vohh...nahh!! Nothing bus aaise hi" i said..firstly i thought i should tell him about the stranger but then dropped it as i had no sane reason to be this suspicious about him..

" finally!! Finally you are back!!!! Kitna miss kiya hai maine iss chand se suhane chehre ko hayeee!!" he said dramatically keeping his right palm on his chest near his heart, and a dreamy look in his eyes...i shook my head in disbelief at his drama and with a small smile and walked towards the lobby past him as i was still near the main entrance of the building..

" abb aaise ignore toh mat karo jaane man...hum tumhara yeh rukhapan jhel nhi payenge..pata hai kaise kaate hai maine yeh din tumhe dekhe bina" he said catching his pace and walking beside me...this guy and his stupid flirting!!! He can never get enough of it..but it wasn't awkward between us as we both knew he was just fooling around and by now we kinda developed that level of comfort between us, the best part being he knew his limit and he never crossed it.

" lagta hai aap ne hume sabse zyada miss kiya hai kya baat hai.." i said playing along...

" hayeee!! Yeh awaaz sunne ke liye mere kaan taras gaye the" omgg!!! This guy seriously kaan taras gaye the!!

" kaan taras gaye the seriously aryamaan!! Kuch original lao yaar yeh kya 70's ke dialogue maar rahe ho...chiiiii maannn i thought u Excelled in at least this one thing but..ahh..here u dissapoint me again" i said and he gave me a deadpan expression at which i laughed off....he looked so funny...afterall not everyone can pull off manik malhotra's patent expression!!!!

We were still in the lobby and heading towards the elevator but as i said this aryamaan stopped on his tracks making me look at him as i stood as well facing him and giggling...

" i think i don't pay my employees to flirt around and hang out in my lobby" the stren voice caused me to gulp my giggles..i was well aware of person the voice belonged to, talk of the devil an the devil is here...i squeezed my eyes together before turning around and facing him..

" so..rryy sir..voh hum bus.." it was aryamaan..i have never seen the guy this scared ever...he was literally shuttering so much...

*obviously darega na it's manik malhotra duh...* ms.subconsious poked again she's been asleep lately but seems like now she's back on duty..
