"Purvi." Anand yelled from downstairs as he wait for Purvi to come down. Anand sigh shaking his head when he didn't get any answer and know that she must be getting ready.
Anand went back in the living room and sit on the couch to watch the Tv while he wait. As he tried to pass his time, upstairs, Purvi was having a quiz to herself as she eyes two beautiful gown laid on her bed.
One was in red color. It was sleevesless and had heavy work around the top area and tight around the waist area before it flared. It just came up to under her knees. It was a little short for her choice.
Another was in dark blue color. It was a sleeveless turtleneck long dress which is tight around the top and waist area before it flow down to the floor. It was just like Purvi prefer wearing on this types of occasions.
Settling on the blue dress, Purvi put the other one back in the protective cover and went to change into her outfit for the evening. She had already done her makeup and hairs. After stepping into her heels, she grab her clutch and put her phone and some cash before leaving her room.
Purvi walk in living room and smile as Anand looked over. He smiled as well and stood up to go. Anand driver open door for Purvi while Anand help himself in the car. Purvi was about to sit but stop when her eyes fall on the car behind them before going inside the car. Purvi look at Anand and sigh when he give her a stern look.
Purvi still didn't like the idea of guard following them to the hotel where the event is held. This is her first time going out since she came from the hospital. Anand didn't even let her go to the park for the jog and insist to do her running on the treadmill in their house or run in their garden. Purvi put her head on the glass of the close window and look at the places they were passing by.
Purvi straighten herself as she saw the hotel coming into her view and look at her father when she spot some journalist outside the hotel. Anand just shrugged making her sigh.
"Ab tumhe inn sab cheezon ki aadat dalni hogi." Anand told her how to act in front of media at event or when they ask questions about their business and life. Purvi take a deep breath as the driver stops the car and get out to open door for her.
The first thing Purvi saw as the door open was the flash of the camera that hurt her eyes a little but regain herself and step out of the car confidently and look at her side when Anand stand beside her. He give her a small smile and gesture her to move forward by putting her hand around her shoulder lightly.
Purvi walk and smile when a reporter stops them to ask a question or two. Mostly Anand gave the answer but Purvi notice how he interact with them to keep it in her mind.
Purvi release a sigh as they finally get to step inside the hotel and follow the manager who guide them to their event and walk in to the hall.
As soon as she walks in, her eyes immediately scan the crowd to spot the peoples she is familiar with but somewhere she know she is looking for one specific person who is on the other side of the hall, taking to some of the worker in the company. Purvi's eyes stop on that person and it looks like he could feel her gaze on him and look in her direction.
Rajat stop breathing for a moment when he saw Purvi looking drop-dead gorgeous in that beautiful blue dress. A color that Rajat personally like. His eyes went toward Anand and saw him talking to one of his client. Rajat feets starts moving on its own and take him toward his boss.
"Good evening." Rajat greet getting a hold on himself as he greet Anand and Purvi. They turn toward him and smile at him. Purvi looked at him up and down and feel a small smile appear on her face at the co-incidence of his tie matching her dress.
"Good evening to you too. Kaise ho Rajat?" Anand asked and they started to discuss about things going to happen later that night.
"Hey Pretty Lady." Rajat was frozen as he heard someone and turned to look only to see a man beside Purvi and giving her one of his most charming smile. Rajat look at Purvi and saw her surprised face with a wide smile of her face.
"You came. I didn't think you would come all the way here." Honestly, Purvi wasn't expecting him to come when she asked him because he says no. Purvi friend shrugged and put his hands in his pocket and smile at her Dad.
"Tum bulao aur main na aaon? Anyways, how are you? It has been a long time since we talk." Purvi nodded and started to talk her friend. Rajat quietly excuse himself and step away from the group. He stand in corner and saw Purvi and the mystery man.
Rajat was feeling something inside his heart as he saw Purvi laughing at something the mystery man says but he didn't quiet understand what and why he is feeling. He didn't really see Purvi laughing like that with anyone else not even with him when they used to talk before all that money thing. He didn't want anyone else to be the reason of her smile, laugh and happiness but himself.
"Are you okay?" Rajat was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard someone and turn to his side when he feel someone presence. He give a confused look at Vikas before looking away with a sigh.
"Yeah, I am fine. Thank you for asking." Rajat say politely making him nod with a small smile.
"Rajat right?" Vikas asked to confirm himself. Rajat nodded and force out a small smile.
"Jii. Anand sir ka assistant." Rajat says incase Vikas didn't know. He nodded and look at Purvi and smile slightly.
"Aren't they just perfect?" Vikas says absently as he continue to stare at his friend. Rajat look at him and follow his gaze to see Purvi smiling at the mystery man. Rajat look get stern as he glare at the man.
"No." Rajat blurt out without thinking. Vikas snapped his head toward Rajat giving him a confused look.
"Mera matlab tha ke, woh dono perfect nahi hain. I can tell Purvi Ma'am is uncomfortable." Rajat says. Vikas frowned thinking how can he be so sure about it.
"Tumhe kaise pata?" Vikas pushed him to say it and he did.
"Because her hands are playing with the necklace she wore. Something she did when she feel nervous." Rajat says what he observed about Purvi. Vikas look back at Purvi and saw her doing what Rajat says and was surprised to know it because he know how much uncomfortable she is right now but still doing for her friend sake.
"So, you observe alot of things about her? Huh?" Vikas asked him. Rajat swallow nervously because he didn't wanted to be caught but he was already did.
"Not really. I just say what I usually saw." Rajat tried change the topic. Vikas open his mouth to say something but stop when Anand call his assistant. Rajat let out a sigh in relief and excuse himself from Vikas before walking toward his boss.
"Kya hua? Yahan aise kyun khade ho?" Vikas heard his wife and smile at her. He shake his head and look at Rajat who was talking to Anand with a file in his hand.
"We were right." Vikas inform her. Sneha was confused for a few minutes but understand what he is talking about when she saw him looking at Rajat then at Purvi.
"No way." Sneha gasped and look back at Vikas when he nodded. "We should tell her then." Sneha frowned when Vikas shake his head.
"No." Vikas look at Purvi then at Rajat. "Woh khud bataye ga ussay."
"Aur woh kaise hoga? He would never confess it by himself." Sneha argue. Vikas look back at his wife making her narrow her eyes at him.
"He will. I have a plan." Vikas grinned evilly making her sigh knowing whatever he is thinking would be good for their friend.
"Can I have your attention please." Everyone look at the makeshift stage and saw Anand standing with Rajat and his daughter a step behind him.
"First of all, thank you for coming here to be the part of this evening with us. As many of you know the reason behind this event, but incase someone who didn't know I would like to tell you." Anand stop for a second and look over his shoulder and give a nod. Purvi step forward and smile at her Dad before her eyes scanned the crowd with a nervous look that she tried her best to hide.
"Everyone, meet the new owner of Pari Textile, Ms. Purvi Sharma." Purvi smile as everyone cheer and smile at her. Anand look at Rajat and nodded at him. Rajat place the file at the table in front of him and give him the pen.
Purvi look at the legal documents and saw as Anand sign it before passing her the pen. Purvi hands shake slightly but manage to do her signature and thank Rajat when he take the file and pen. Purvi turn to her father again and smile at the proud look in his eyes for him. She step forward and give him a hug that cause a few tears escaped from his eyes.
"I love you Pari." Anand whisper tearfully as they pulled back. Purvi smile and squeeze his hand softly.
"Love you too, Papa." Purvi smile and saw as Anand forward her the mike. Purvi take it and look at the people in front of her.
"Good evening." Purvi greet and smile at people who gave their time their work to her company.
"I am not going to drag too long, I just want to thank everyone for giving their time, their experience and their hard work to this company to make it stand where it is right now. I may be not the great boss as my father but I will try my best to give you what you all deserve from me and I expect to get it back in the same way. Enjoy your evening." Purvi says raising her glass of soft drink to toast as the chime of glasses clicking fills in the air.
Soon, soft music starts playing in the background as the bosses and the assistant step down to the stage.
"Congratulations, Pretty Lady." The mystery man congratulate Purvi as they step on the ground. Rajat stop in his place and glared at the man before looking at Purvi who smiled at him.
"Thank you." Rajat gripped tighten on the file as he saw Purvi blushing at the flirteous smile giving by the mystery man.
"Dance?" Mystery man asked forwarding his hand. Purvi look at his hand then at him and gently place her warm hand in his.
"Rajat, inn papers ko sambhal ke rakh lena. Kal inko lawyer ko dene hain legal process start karne ke liye." Anand says grabbing his attention. Rajat nodded and went up to the table in the corner where he put the briefcase that he bring with himself. He carefull put the file in it and lock the case.
Rajat turned around and his eyes went to the dance floor where he saw Purvi laughing softly at something her dance partner says. Rajat was indeed feeling jealous but also a little did he know that somewhere, Purvi also feels the same about him. He also know there is not any match of them as she is rich and his new boss while he is just a middle class man and her assistant.
"Excuse me." Rajat thoughts were broken when he heard a soft voice and saw a familiar women standing in front of him. She works in Pari Textile as well and he had seen her a few times at the office in the break room when he went to print some papers and exchange a few hellos as well.
"Would you like to dance? Please don't take it wrong. I like to dance but almost everyone here is unknown to me as I never really talk to them beside you. Soo..." The women trailed off. Rajat look at her up and down. She look beautiful as well in the pink floor length dress but not more beautiful than the women who stole his heart without knowing it.
Rajat give her a small smile and nodded accepting her dance offer as they make their way to the dance floor. Rajat kind of know that whatever is happening right now was only to make him jealous and now he is not going to let go off his chance to make her jealous as well.
Rajat and his dance partner passed Purvi and her partner as they stop in middle of the dance floor and get a hold of each other before swaying slowly on the music. Purvi caught Rajat eyes and he could feel her confused on what she is seeing. Rajat give her a evil grin that signs the game is on.
