Chapter 16: NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS

NEXT DAY MORNING

Hello. Sahil... How are you?

Hi. Abhijeet, I am fine.

You seem to be excited. What is the matter?

The thing is my childhood friend Raj is coming today evening.

That friend, who you are going to meet after eight years. Am I right?

Yes, he is the one.

I called you to inform about this. Sahil.

Okay Abhijeet. Let's hangout together with Raj, when we get a chance.

Sure Sahil. Okay bye.

Bye Abhijeet.

They hung up.

AT FASHION TRAFFIC HUB:

Akansha... Akansha... Are you here? Asked Preeti (her colleague) shaking her shoulders.

Akansha came to her senses. Yes. Tell me Preeti.

Were you day dreaming just now? Asked Preeti sarcastically.

No. Said Akansha blushing.

Were you dreaming about your boyfriend?

Shhhh..... Just keep your mouth shut. Preeti. Someone might hear you. Said Akansha, keeping her finger on her lips.

Okay...okay... I will not say a word.

Here, proofread this report and give it to me in two hours. I have to submit this to M.D. Said Preeti and gave a blue file to her.

Okay, I'll proofread and give it to you. Don't tell anyone about it. Said Akansha and grabbed the file.

By the way, you should tell me about your love story, when you get some time. After saying this, Preeti winked and left.

While she was checking the file, she heard footsteps approaching her.

Hey, Akansha. I heard that you have a boyfriend. Who is he? Asked Shreya folding her hands.

I told Preeti not to tell this to anyone, but I guess, she didn't listen to me. Akansha thought to herself.

Preeti didn't not tell me. I overheard the conversation. Said Shreya.

Whether I have a boyfriend or not, that is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. Replied Akansha putting up a half smile.

After hearing Akansha's reply, Shreya gritted her teeth and was about to say, but Preeti announced that, M.D is coming on rounds. So, please everyone, be on your seats and do your work properly.

This made Shreya leave. I was curious to know, who was her boyfriend, but this Preeti interrupted. I think I have to find it myself. Thought Shreya.

Akansha sighed. Everyday I have to face her. She thought to herself.

She continued working .

It was almost 6:30pm. Everybody started to leave.

Akansha was the last one to leave.

She left the building.

She stretched her hands to ask for a lift.

A white car stopped in front of her and a handsome hunk came out of it.

It was none other than Abhijeet.

What are you doing here? Asked Akansha.

I was going to the Airport and I saw you. So I stopped to pick you up.

No.

It's okay Abhi. I'll go by myself. You should go and pick up your friend.

There's still time. I'll drop you and go.

Okay. Said Akansha and got inside the car.

They drove fast to her home.

He stopped his car, near her house.

She came out of the car, saying bye.

Hey, Akansha...wait. You forgot something. Said Abhijeet and got out of the car.

What Abhi? Asked Akansha and turned.

Abhijeet grabbed her and kissed her on her cheeks.

She blushed. You are always building up a reason to kiss me. Abhi. Said Akansha and ran inside her house.

Abhijeet smiled and left for the airport.
