Episode 26

"So how was your night out?" Joey asked casually leaning on the recliner.

"It was amazing you know. I never thought a man as Rafay would be so simple at times." Elnaz told him excitedly. He just looked at her and fake a smile.

"Ohh you are happy." He claimed looking at her.

"Last night was great. I didn't imagine it could be like that here anyways but things happen you know." She joked around.

"What about today?What are you doing?" He questioned.

"Hey today I am taking a half day." She replied.

"Why? Don't you have work?" He asked.

"I actually do but I have been given a half day as I am going out on a picnic with family." She said.

"Family? Did your parents came?" He asked shocked.

"No. I meant Rafay's family." She replied back as she turned and went to the washroom to wash her hands.

'She thinks of his family as her's.' He thought.

He wanted to take her out badly but here she was always busy and going out with others than him. This way there was no chance of him ever winning her. What could he possibly do? He thought.

Janet got the photograph session done for the product yesterday. Today the photographer had sent mailed her all the photographs. She went through all the photographs and selected the best one.

She smiled as she was done. Getting up from her chair she called Elnaz to come to her cabin.

"Yes. You called me?" Elnaz asked as she came inside.

"Here I want you to get me the printouts of this photos. I have it mailed to you. Make sure that it doesn't gets in to wrong hands." Janet warned her.

"Okay." Elnaz replied as she got out to get her job done.

As she shit the door behind her Janet smirked.

'Now is the perfect time to devise the plan.' She thought. She was planning big and it was going to give a great impact after it was done as thought.

Elnaz as said had removed the printouts and carefully handed it over to Janet. She had an hour left before leaving for home with Rafay. She was excited for picnic.

Just as per timing Rafay called Elnaz to his cabin to inform her that he would wrap his work with half an hour or so. Telling her to finish her work also as soon as possible. Taking it as an opportunity Janet sneaked in to Elnaz's cabin just when she saw her entering Rafay's cabin.

As usual her laptop was on so wasting no time she quickly opened her mail box and searched for her mail.

"There it is!" She exclaimed and quickly forwarded it to a new address. Once the mail was sent she quickly exited her mail box and the laptop screen came back to its previous screen.

Making no noise Janet carefully left her cabin and became acted oblivious of what was going to come in future. But with in she knew what she had done would end drastically and that's what she wanted for Elnaz.

Elnaz came back from Rafay's office and looked at her laptop. She remembered that she was busy preparing drafts for marketing team. Quickly she got on her chair to finish her work as that was only thing left for her to do.

She changed herself into a yellow floral dress with long bell sleeves and put on a cotton yellow plain scarf. She had a matching yellow stole to go with her dress. Putting on some kohl and mascara she put on a light pink lipstick. She dabbed some loose powder on her face. Quickly packing her makeup pouch she put it in her tote bag. She tossed her charger, head phones too in it. As she hurried she remembered her silver bangles and quickly wore them on her hand.

"Finally I am done." She sighed as she got out of her room and closed the door behind her. Everyone were ready. Rafay was in the hall with his parents as the maids walked in and out arranging the lunch boxes and stuff in the mini bus. She was embarrassed as she was late and they were waiting. Slowly she started descending the stairs just when he looked up to see her.

'There she is.' He thought looking at her.

She was ethereal. The way her cheeks tinted red trying to hide her embarrassment that she was late couldn't hide it. Her bangles clanked now and then as her smoothly glided through the railing. Her sandal made a slow ticking sound as she came nearer. Her eyes showed the excitement that she was looking forwards to the picnic. Quickly he lowered his eyes not wanting to be staring at her and look cheap and that was what his religion taught him to lower his gaze if a women passes by.

"Let's go dear." His mother told her as they started moving out.

All of them got in to the bus and their journey started. All of them started chattering once the journey began but Rafay sat silent on his seat looking at the directions. Once he was done he looked around to see everyone busy with talking. His parents were talking to themselves where as the maids where busy whispering something between themselves. Elnaz was talking to someone on phone. He smiled thinking that everyone had some one to talk to . Getting up he went and sat next to driver and both of them got busy focusing on the directions to reach Switzer Falls. It was far away from home but it was worth it.

It took them six hours to reach the place as they parked their bus near the hilly area. All of them got down one by one standing next to each other.

"Okay now listen to me we all will have to do some trekking to reach the fall and each one of you pick one of the luggage so that we don't have rush now and then for little things. Mr. Salmon will join us after he parks the bus." Rafay explained as the maids carried two bags with them.

"Only two bags?" He asked.

"Yes Rafa why carry all the food there? For few hours this will suffice and if we need any thing we will come by." His father told him.

"Yeah that's right too." He said as he started directing them towards the fall.
