"Sooo..." Purvi sigh and look at her right. She is getting annoyed by the look she is getting. She glare at the person sitting in front of her as he raised his eyebrow at her with a smirk.
"So what? It was just a simple date." She says for the fifth time since they get in. She saw the person open mouth to reply but was cut it off.
"Office aagaya." Purvi driver announce making her let out a sigh in relief. She quickly open her door and walk out leave the person behind as he shout at her to wait for him.
Purvi quickly press the button of elevator and step in when it came empty. The door started to close but a hand stop it. Purvi groaned and glare at the person when he laugh at her look. Purvi quickly press the button of her floor and look forward.
"If you say a word right now I swear, I am going to bang your head against the wall and don't forget I have taken self-defence classes." Purvi smirk when she him closing his mouth nervously and step back.
When they reach her floor, she step out of the elevator and walk toward her office. A smile take over her lips when she saw Rajat on his desk. She heard a whistle behind her and try to mentally kill the person behind her. She saw as Rajat look up and a smile come on his face as well but it faded away. She was confused when she suddenly saw a hard look taking over his face.
"Good Morning, Ma'am" Rajat says. Purvi frowned but nodded and walk in her office.
"Kya hua?" Purvi shake her head at the question that was asked by the person and sit down on her chair.
"Kuch nahi." She says and turn on her computer. She open a file that was resting on her desk and saw the sketches of the new collection that Vikas sketches in it. She scan it carefully and pick up her desk phone.
"Mr. Rajat please come in here." Purvi says and put the receiver back when she heard him okay.
"You still call him Mr?" Purvi glare at the person sitting on the visiting chair making him raise his hand in defeat.
"You called me." Rajat says standing at the door. Purvi look at him and nodded.
"Yes. These are the design that Mr. Kundar designed for the next shoot. I want you to print them out and talk about the fabrics with him and made an appointment with the fabric company." Rajat nodded and take the file from her when she hold it out for him.
"I will get it done. Anything else?" Rajat asked her. Purvi shake her head but suddenly she remember something.
"Ahh, yes Mr. Rajat. I know you already meet him but I want to formally introduce to you." Purvi says standing up and walk around her desk.
"Mr. Kumar meet Mr. Rajat, my assistant and Mr. Rajat, he is Mr. Sachin Kumar, our new client." Purvi smile and saw as they shake hands. Purvi frown when she saw a painful look crossing on Sachin face and he look at Rajat weirdly. Her eyes went to Rajat face only to see him glaring at Sachin.
"Anyways," Purvi break up Rajat glare by getting his attention toward her. "Mr. Sachin chahte hain ke hum unhe office ka ek chota sa tour karwayen. Why don't you go and show him around?" Rajat look at Purvi to argue but she give him a look that shut him up.
"Fine." She heard Rajat mumbling and smile slightly. Rajat walk out to give him a tour while Sachin stay at his place look at door.
"Ahhh... He literally break my fingers." Sachin says shaking his hand and trying to ease some pain. Purvi chuckle and went back to sit at her chair as she saw Sachin leaving.
Purvi sigh and quickly open up her email on the computer and take a file from the pile on her desk and get back to work.

"How is it going with him?" Purvi asked as she saw Sneha eating a bag of chips then her eyes went to the desk area in front of Sneha to see three empty packet of chips.
"Good for now. I mean, woh mera bohat khayal rakh raha hai. Mujhe jo cheez jis waqt khane ka mann karta hai woh laa ke deta hai." Sneha says and smile when she remember how she make him run to the sweet shop to get her sweets last night.
"Good for him then." Purvi says and look at her computer when it buzzed with an email. She check it and saw the confirmation email from Rajat about making him the appointments.
"I am telling, something is wrong with him." A voice says. Purvi look up and saw Sachin coming in her room. She look at him confused as he sit on the other visiting chair.
"What you mean?" Sneha beat Purvi asking it first.
"Rajat. I mean, I don't get it. I never meet or saw him before then why the hell he is always rude to me?" Sachin asked them. Purvi and Sneha look at each other. Sneha shrugged replying that he is always like that to the people he didn't know but Purvi mind went somewhere else.
She notice it as well. Whenever Rajat saw Sachin or he came near him, he gets rude. She is sure that they haven't met before but only once at the party. She knows something is bothering Rajat, she can tell it by his body language. For now, she let it go and focus on her work. But she promised her self to ask him about it later when he will be good mood.

Purvi sigh as she shut down her computer and pack her things. She check her phone to see if she had any message or missed calls from Anand. She sigh in relief when she didn't see anything and saw the time. It is almost 9 in the night and she is still in office while everyone leave at 7 in the evening.
She locked up her office and went toward the elevator. She press the buttons and take out her car keys. She let her driver drop it off when she feel she is going to be late today. Purvi step in elevator and press the parking lot button before leaning back on the wall with her eyes closed.
She quickly recall her day and mentally noted the things she had to do in the upcoming days. She open her eyes when she heard the ding of the elevator and step in the parking lot. She saw her car parked a little far away. She slowly walk toward her car and feel the buzz in her bag.
Purvi put her one hand in the purse trying to find her phone. She stops in front of her car and take out her phone. She smile when she saw a message from Rajat. She quickly open it to read.
'I miss you.' It says. She feel a light blush coming up on her cheeks. She put her bag on the roof of her car reply when suddenly she scream loudly as someone scare her. Purvi phone drop from her hand and her eyes were tightly shut. Suddenly she heard something. A laugh. A whole hearty laugh come from behind her.
"Tumhara chehra." Purvi quickly turned when she heard a familiar voice. Purvi calm down her racing heart when she saw Rajat.
"I hate you." Purvi say glaring at him. Rajat calm himself and look at her angry glare.
"Sorry but I wanted to have a little fun with you." Rajat shrugged and give her a smile. Purvi tried to look angry but her glare started to slipped and a smile take over her lips. Seeing her smile, Rajat know he is forgiven.
"So, aap iss waqt yahan kia kar rahe hain?" Purvi asked him and grab her phone from the ground and put back in her bag before opening the car with her keys.
"I was just missing you so I thought to spend sometime with you." Rajat says and shrugged. Purvi nodded and throw her bag in the passenger seat.
"Anyways," Rajat step close to her and lightly put his hands around her waist. Purvi heart skip a beat seeing him close to her.
"I have a little surprise planned for you." A excited look cross in Purvi eyes when she heard Rajat.
"What is it?" Purvi asked him and groaned when Rajat shake his head.
"I am not going to tell you." Rajat says. Purvi sigh and smile slightly putting her hands on his chest. Rajat freeze and look at her as she slowly run her hand up to his chest and wrapped it around his neck.
"But I really want to know." Purvi say slowly and play with the hair on the back of his head.
"Please." Purvi says and mentally smirk when she saw her plan working.
"B-but..." Rajat trailed off when he saw her stepping even closer to him. Purvi put her forehead against his and gently bring her hand on his cheek.
"What's the surprise?" Purvi asked him slowly. Rajat close his eyes when he saw her closing the small distance between them and place her lips on his. Rajat copy her slow movement and wrapped his arms fully around her. Purvi shiver when she feel his hand slowly rubbing her back. She slowly break apart with their eyes closed and rest her forehead against his.
"So?" Purvi asked him in a whisper. Rajat take a deep breath and smile slightly.
"I am still not going to tell you anything about it." Purvi heard his low voice and pulled back to look at him only to see him smirking at her.
"Nice try and thank you for the kiss though." Rajat laughed and winked making her surprised at her fail attempt to get things out of him.
"I seriously hate you." Purvi says and push on his chest making him laugh again.
"Meet me at your apartment in 10 minutes. I love you." Rajat says and went to his bike and ride away leaving her there. Purvi sigh and run her hands through her hairs and get in her car to follow Rajat directions.
*
Purvi step out of the elevator and walk toward her apartment. She ring the bell knowing that Rajat is already in there. She waited for a minute before ringing to it again. She was confused when he still didn't open it and take out her own keys to open it.
Purvi close the door locking it and slip off her shoes. She walk through the small hallway but stop when she saw something she wasn't expecting.
In the middle of the living room, Rajat was standing beside the coffee table where her favorite food was set with soft drinks and in the center of the table was a candle that give the soft dim look in almost dark room.
Purvi walk barefoot on the rose petals lying on the floor and stand in front of the person she is in love with. She smiled when she saw a smile on his face as well.
"So, yeh hai surprise?" Purvi asked as she waved around. Rajat shrugged but nodded as well.
"Yeah. I was feeling bad for my behaviour at office." Rajat says. Purvi was confused because as far as she remember, he didn't do anything to her today but to Sachin.
"And beside, I have to tell you something." Rajat says and gently held her hands in his.
"Kya?" Purvi asked him. Rajat take a deep breath and release it slowly.
"Something about myself." Rajat says quietly. Purvi frowned but nodded.
"Theek hai, but pehle khana kha lein? Mujhe bohat bhook lag rahi hai." Purvi says and blush slightly when her stomach growl loud enough for him to hear it. Rajat laugh softly at her and nodded.
They sit down on the cushions and started to eat. They make a light talk and share some facts about each other. When they were done, Purvi offered to help him to take dishes but he turned her offer down and told her to go in balcony.
Purvi sit on the chair and look at sky filled with stars. She smile slightly when she saw a star shining brightly and winking at her. Her hand went up to her neck and her fingers wrapped around the pendant.
"Here." Purvi heard Rajat and turned to look at him. She look at his hands as he hold out a bowl with some ice-cream for dessert. She smile slightly and take it from him.
"So, apko kya baat karni thi?" Purvi asked after a few minutes of silence. Her eyes shift toward Rajat when she feel him getting nervous.
"I have to tell you about my past. Main nahi chahta ke humare beech kuch bhi chupa rahe. I want to tell you everything about myself. Things that no one know about me." Rajat paused and look at her to see her reaction. Purvi had her spoon stop in the middle and was looking at him.
She was confused. She don't know what he is talking about. She thought that she know everything about him but maybe she didn't. Just like he have no idea about what she did in her past. Purvi snapped out of her thought when she feel someone hand on her shoulder and put the spoon back in the bowl and nodded for him to continue as he look away.
"Mera pura naam Rajat Kumar hai." He says while Purvi frowned because she already know. Rajat look at her and swallow nervously.
"Rajat Arvind Kumar."
