"Come in." Purvi called as she work on her laptop. Her eyes raised when she heard someone grabbing her attention. Her heart skip a beat as she saw Rajat standing there.

Since that event, which was almost a week ago, Rajat kept his distance with her. He barely talk to her about work and didn't even wish her a good morning when she came. Purvi didn't understand why he is doing it but that night was something that they both would never forget about.

"Yeh file hai new contract papers ki. Apke signatures chahiye thay iss pe, Ma'ma." Rajat says with bitterness in his voice as he added Ma'am. Rajat put the file on the table and left the room without even listening to her.

Purvi sigh in frustration and grabbed the file before signing it. She put it aside and grabbed her head putting her elbow on the table. Purvi rubbed her temple with her fingers when it started to pain and close her eyes.

Suddenly tears start filling up in her close eyes as she remember what her friends told her a few days before that event.

"You guys are joking right?." Purvi asked Vikas and Sneha for the ninth time. Sneha groaned and glared at her best friend.

"Why would we joke about something like that?" Vikas asked her. Purvi sigh and look down at her hands.

"So, what should I do then?" Purvi asked them not knowing what she should do. She was kind of happy but also scare that they might get a saw it wrong.

"Well, tumhe kuch nahi karna hai. Hume jo karna tha humne kar diya. You just had to do as the things goes." Sneha says with a grin. Purvi nodded and look up at the mischiveous look in their eyes and instantly regret agreeing it.

***

Purvi forehead creased when she heard her phone ringing. She slowly open her eyes and pull her head up only to hissed as she feels a cramp in her neck. She slowly move her neck trying to get rid some of the pain when her eyes fell on the clock. She quickly straighten herself and look out of the window of her room. It was dark outside telling her that the clock says right. It is almost 8 in the evening and she is still in office.

Purvi sigh and grabbed her phone and bag before walking out of her room. She didn't know how she fall asleep thinking about Rajat but she is disturb with his behaviour and now she wants to know the reason behind it. She know it wasn't of what happened that night. It was something else and she can feel it.

Purvi walk toward the elevator and press the button to come up. As she wait, she sent a message to her Dad telling him that she is on her way to home. She was surprised that he only called her once when it was 2 hours past the office timing.

Purvi head snapped to her right when she feels someone presence and saw the person, she was least expecting, standing beside her. She was confused but let it go thinking that he may had work to do so he stay late in the building. Purvi and her assistant enter in the empty elevator and press the lobby button.

There was a uncomfortable silence between them. They didn't talk to each other nor even glance at each other. They do wanted to talk or atleast Purvi but didn't know from where she should start. Suddenly tension started to rise in the elevator as they feel it shaking it virgously before the lights went off.

Purvi quickly take out her phone and turn on the flash light. She look and saw as Rajat press the emergency button but it didn't work. Rajat turned toward Purvi and sigh.

"Would you please call the lobby, Ma'am?" Rajat asked taunting her for the second time today. Purvi feel her temper rising but take a deep breath to control it. Purvi open the contacts on her mobile and search for the number before pressing the dial. She put the phone on her ear and heard the bell ringing but no one pick it up.

"Koi nahi utha raha. Pata nahi kahan hai guard." Purvi mumble and leaned back on the steel wall before dragging herself down to the floor.

Rajat look at Purvi as she keep dialing to lobby and sit on the opposite side of her while they wait for the guard to notice the ringing of the phone. Rajat take out his phone and turn on the flashlight before putting it in the middle of the floor.

Rajat eyes went back to the woman sitting in front of him. He still remember how she comfort him that night. He close his eyes and let that night flash in close eyelids.

Flashback.

After the dance, Rajat peel himself away from the girl and walk back to stand at his spot in the corner but he was stopped by Anand.

"Yes sir." Rajat says as he stand in front if his boss and one of his friend with his back toward Rajat.

"Inse milo, yeh hain Mr. Arvind Kumar, humare new client." Rajat freeze hearing the name and quietly prayed that he wouldn't be face the man who ruined everything but his expression change. He hadn't seen him since he throw him and his mother out of their house all those years back.

"Hello." Arvind offered him a smile and take out his hand to shake it. Rajat look at it then at him. His face is emotionless. He didn't believe the man standing in front of him is his father who abandoned his father in sake of other woman.

"Rajat." Anand call him confused and snapped him out of his thoughts. He look at Anand then at Arvind only to see them frowning at him. He can tell that Arvind didn't recognize his own blood.

Rajat didn't wanted to shake his hand but he had no other choice. He firmly shake his hand and squeeze it tight enough to see slight pain on Arvind face. His father look at him and feel something weird but ignore it for now.

"Ab se yeh important client hongaye humare." Anand told him. Rajat nodded at whatever his boss is saying.

"Haan liken kaam apni jagha aur rishtedaari apni jagha." Arvind says making Anand chuckle while Rajat stood there confused.

"Aray itne confuse kyun ho rahe ho? Rishtedaari matlab maine Purvi ki shadi ke bare main socha hai aur woh bhi Arvind ke bete ke sath. Woh dekho." Anand says pointing toward the other side of the corner only to see Purvi and the mystery man talking with Vikas and Sneha.

Rajat look at Anand with a surprised look then his eyes shifted toward Purvi and the son of Arvind. Rajat was having mix emotions. He was heart broken, angry and upset.

Rajat feel his throats tighten when he imagine Purvi marrying someone else. He excused himself and went up to the bar section to get a soft drink. He sat on th be and wait for his drink.

For the first time in his life, he feel something for someone but before he could tell her about what he feels, that person is going to be taken away from him. He feel his eye burning but didn't let his tear to fall in front of many people.

"Here you go." The bartender says as he slid the glass toward Rajat. He glance at the man behind the bar and drink the liquid in one go. He slammed the glass back on the counter and order for one more.

"Make it strong with little alcohol." Rajat says and the bartender could feel pain in his voice but went to make his drink.

Rajat think how hard is this going to be for him to let the woman go who he love with all his heart. He think how she is going to marry the man who is his step brother from his father second wife.

"Sir your drink." Bartender put the glass in front of him again and watch closely as Rajat again shoved it down to his throats in one go.

"One more." Rajat says and put the glass again on the counter.

"But sir you can get drunk if you keep drinking like that." Bartender told him. Rajat looked up at him and glared at him.

"Maine tumse pucha nahi hai. Just make me one more." Rajat hissed angrily. Bartender swallow at the redness in his eyes due to forcing his tears back and turned around to make him another drink.

"So what you wanna drink?" Rajat heard a familiar voice and turned his head to see his step brother standing beside him with Purvi.

Purvi tell him to order a soft drink for her before her eyes fall on Rajat. She saw Rajat staring at her for a long time and was confused to see his red eyes. She step forward and stand next to him.

"Are you okay?" Purvi asked him concerned. Rajat eyes snapped up to Arvind son and saw him giving him a small smile.

Mentally, Rajat shake his head thinking he wouldn't let his step brother ruin Purvi life like his father did to his mother. He look back at her and saw her looking at him curiously to answer her question.

"Sir you drink and this one is last." The bartender says setting the glass in front of him again. Rajat throw the drink down to his throats again and stood up.

"Mr. Rajat-" Purvi started but was cut it off by Rajat as he suddenly grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the hall.

"Well, that was interesting." Vikas says as he step beside the mystery man with his wife. The man nodded with a smirk and look at the door where Purvi and Rajat disappeared.

"But I am worried for her. I mean, he look a little drunk." Vikas smile at him and put his hand on his shoulder to make him relax.

"Sachin, just relax. As much as I know him, he wouldn't do anything to her. Trust me." Vikas assured him. Sachin nodded with a sigh and they went back to enjoy the party knowing that it is time for both of them to talk about how they feel.

On other side, Rajat was dragging Purvi toward the back door of the hotel from where they reach at the swimming pool and a huge lawn. Purvi had enough and forcefully freed her hands from his grip.

"What the hell is wrong with you." Purvi yelled stopping at her tracks. Rajat stop as well but didn't turn around.

Purvi glared at his back as she wait for him to turn and explain himself. She rubbed her wrist to sooth some pain. Her eyes frown in confusion when she saw his back moving up and down slightly She slowly walk around him and was surprised to see tears in his eyes.

Since she got to know him, she can remember how he always had a hard look in his eyes and face. She know, he wouldn't let his feeling came in front of him but today he didn't care. Tears in his eyes wasn't only because he feels sad of his first ever heart break but also because of seeing his father after so long and marrying his stepbrother to the woman he love.

"Rajat, are you okay?" Purvi asked him softly. For the first time, she call him with his first name with adding 'Mr' or 'Ji'.

Rajat look up at her and Purvi heart clench seeing a tear fall from his eyes down to his cheek. Purvi bring her hand forward and gently put her shaky hand on his cheeks and wipe the tears away.

"Don't cry. Everything is going to be okay." Purvi comfort him without knowing the reason behind his breakdown.

"Nothing is going to be okay." Rajat says to her for the once time this evening. Purvi shake her head and take a step closer to him.

"Main nahi janti ke baat kia hai par main itna zaroor janti hoon ke jo bhi ho, you are going to face it and solve it because you are strong and nothing can knock it off." Purvi says with a soft smile.

"You think so?" Rajat asked her in the same way. Purvi nodded and take her hands off his cheek to hold his hand.

"I know so." Purvi says confidently because she trust him. Rajat was having a mental war in his head, if he should confess what he feels or congratulate her on her soon to be wedding.

He was snapped out of his thoughts when he feel her hands leaving his, only to wrapped it around his neck. He close his eyes as her light perfume fill in his nose. Without thinking twice, he wrapped his arms around her as well and buried his face in the side of the neck making her shiver slightly. Being in each other arms, they feel save... they feel complete.

After a few minutes they pulled back to look at each other but didn't take a step away. Looking in her beautiful brown eyes, Rajat feel lost and his control on himself lose as he started to lean forward.

Purvi close her eyes and her heart stop beating as she feels his lips on her. They move their lips in sync pouring their feeling for each other in that kiss.

That night was unforgottable for both of them. Little do they know that they crossed a line that they shouldn't do but they didn't regret it.
