> “Kal ka appointment sirf ek business meeting nahi… balki unki zindagi ka ek naya mod banne wala tha.”

Subah ka waqt tha. Nikita aur Vedika ready hokar Rajveer Singhania ke office ke bahar pahunchti hain. Dono car se utarti hain aur andar enter karti hain.

Reception par jaakar Vedika poochti hai,“Excuse me, Mr. Rajveer ka cabin kaha hai?”

Receptionist politely reply karti hai,“Second floor, left side first cabin.”

Dono waha se cabin ki taraf badhne lagti hain ki tabhi Aarav bhi unke paas aa jata hai. Teeno saath mein cabin ke bahar pahunchte hain.

Nikita thoda Aarav se door khadi ho jaati hai.

Ye dekh Aarav uske paas aane ki koshish karta hai… lekin Nikita aur ek step peeche ho jaati hai.

Aarav ke chehre par halki si chot jaisi feeling aa jaati hai.

Nikita dheere se bolti hai, “Please… aap thoda waha khade reh sakte hain?”

Aarav chup chaap door khada ho jata hai. (in mind) “Yeh aise kyun behave kar rahi hai… maine kya galat kiya?”

Teeno door knock karte hain. “Come in.” andar se awaaz aati hai.

Wo cabin ke andar enter karte hain.

Rajveer Singhania apni chair par baitha hota hai—calm, confident… lekin uski aankhon mein kuch aisa tha jo seedha samajh nahi aata.

“Good morning everyone… aur Aarav! itne din baad?” woh halki smile ke saath bolta hai.

Aarav muskura kar kehta hai, “Ha yaar… in dono ko teri help chahiye thi, isliye le aaya.”

Rajveer ki nazar Vedika aur Nikita par jaati hai.

“So, what’s your name miss?”

Nikita thoda nervous ho kar bolti hai, “Hello… I am Nikita.”

Vedika confidently bolti hai, “And I am Vedika Shekhawat.”

“Nice to meet you both,” Rajveer kehta hai.

“Same here, sir,” dono reply karti hain.

Rajveer thoda lean hoke bolta hai,

“Toh bataiye… kaise aana hua? Waise main usually kisi se personally nahi milta… but Aarav ke liye exception hai.”

Vedika bolti hai, “Sir, hum apna business start kar rahe hain… aur hume aapki guidance chahiye.”

Rajveer slight smile deta hai, “Of course… coffee loge?”

“Thank you sir, but no need,” Vedika politely mana karti hai.

Tabhi Rajveer ka phone aata hai. “Excuse me,” kehkar wo side ho jata hai.

Nikita turant Vedika ke paas jhuk kar dheere se bolti hai,

“Oye… meri gut feeling keh rahi hai… yeh mera jiju banega dekh lena… but yeh banda thoda dangerous bhi lag raha hai 😑”

Vedika aankhen dikha ke bolti hai,

“Pagal ho gayi hai kya? Kuch bhi bolti rehti hai… aur yeh tera jiju? Never!”

Phir dheere se add karti hai, “Aur agar yeh sach mein mafia hai… toh main ise saboot ke saath pakadungi 😏”

Nikita smirk karti hai, “Tab toh tujhe inse pyaar karna padega 😏”

Vedika shocked, “Kya? Main? No way!”

“Phir sach kaise pata chalega?” Nikita tease karti hai.

Vedika thoda sochti hai, “Yeh bhi sahi hai… 😩”

Phir uski nazar Aarav par jaati hai jo bas Nikita ko dekh raha hota hai.

“Oye… tu Aarav se itna door kyun bhaag rahi hai?” Vedika poochti hai.

Nikita turant bolti hai, “Main kisi se nahi darti.”

“Phir door kyun ja rahi hai?” Vedika tease karti hai.

Nikita thoda irritate ho jaati hai, “Bas… mission pe focus kar.”

Tabhi Rajveer wapas aata hai.

Vedika seedhi ho jaati hai,

“Sir aa gaye…”

Nikita dheere se bol deti hai,

“Jiju…”

Vedika usse ghoorti hai,

“Zyada nahi ho raha?”

Nikita smile kar deti hai, “Hoga mera 😏”

Rajveer ek file unke saamne rakh deta hai,

“Isme meri business details hain. Read kar lo… koi doubt ho toh puch lena.”

Nikita turant file uthakar padhna start karti hai. Vedika bhi join karti hai.

Kuch der baad Nikita dheere se bolti hai,

“Yaar… sab normal business jaisa hi lag raha hai… koi proof nahi mil raha.”

Vedika bolti hai, “Haan… par jo information mili hai use ignore bhi nahi kar sakte.”

Rajveer unhe observe kar raha hota hai.

Udhar Aarav ki nazar sirf Nikita par hoti hai.

Rajveer dheere se Aarav ke paas aakar bolta hai,

“Pyaar ho gaya hai kya?”

Aarav halka sa smile karta hai, “Shayad…”

Rajveer hasta hai, “Mujhe nahi lagta bhav degi tujhe.”

Aarav sigh karta hai, “De bhi nahi rahi…”

Rajveer tease karta hai, “Bohot bolta tha handsome ho… ab kaha gaya confidence?”

Aarav bechara face bana leta hai.

Tabhi ek waiter coffee lekar aata hai… aur achanak takra jata hai.

Garam coffee seedha Vedika ke upar gir jaati hai.

“OH NO!” Vedika shock mein bol padti hai,

“Meri dress!”

Time jaise ek second ke liye ruk jata hai.

Rajveer turant uthkar tissues leta hai aur Vedika ki dress clean karne lagta hai.

“Jyada garam toh nahi laga?” wo calmly poochta hai.

Sab shock ho jaate hain—especially Aarav.

Vedika bhi ek pal ke liye chup reh jaati hai… phir gusse mein bolti hai,

“Aapko dekh kar chalna nahi aata kya? Aankhen hain ya button?”

Rajveer ka expression thoda serious ho jata hai,

“Miss… thoda dheere boliye.”

Vedika aur gusse mein, “Aapki wajah se coffee mere upar giri hai!”

Rajveer calm tone mein bolta hai, “Hum call par the… isliye hua. Maine clean toh kar diya.”

Vedika sarcastically bolti hai, “Wah… ek sorry bolna itna mushkil tha kya?”

Room mein ek ajeeb sa tension fill ho jata hai…

> “Aur shayad isi pal se unke beech ek nayi kahani shuru hone wali thi… jisme nafrat bhi thi… aur kuch aur bhi.”
