Not a date

"Excuse me, gentleman, what are you doing here?" Mr. Sinha asked Kaushik as he suddenly popped up in the meeting room from nowhere. Mitali who was standing beside him raised an eyebrow. She knew Mohit's family crisis well but she didn't expect him to forget the face so soon.

"Mohit called me. He's stuck in an emergency. So I came to operate...." He found everyone glared at him with confusion. Those years of being a doctor, he couldn't get rid of those terms in a day, "I mean you just need his presentation, I'm gonna present it today."

"Why will I allow you here?" Mr. Sinha was fuming with anger. His brat son suddenly went impossible in such an important meeting and again sent another person to take his place. Did he think business meeting was a playground?

Kaushik smirked, "Because the presentation is in my hand. If I don't help you, you need to go through losses."

Kaushik was not such a gentle person. At least not to that person who disowned his daughter for marrying a poor person, even though he didn't make a background check.

Mr. Sinha had nothing to say. It was true only Kaushik could help him. It was very confidential presentation that Mohit didn't even allow their assistants to carry it. If he chose this man, there must be a reason.

The presentation went smoothly. Kaushik didn't plan to stay in the office more. As his father in law didn't like him much, he didn't want to tell his real identity. But what he didn't expect was to meet his father there.

He didn't know why Kartik Ganguly came to visit Sinha Designs suddenly. Looking at his direction, Kaushik asked Mitali in a low voice, "Is this company planning to design aprons for doctors? If so, ask Mohit to send me some."

Mitali found it funny but didn't dare to laugh.

"Kaushik, what are you doing here?" Kartik asked surprised. He never expected to see him here.

"Umm...just helping Mr. Sinha a little. But why are you here?" Kaushik didn't inform his family, even Maya about this. Moreover Kartik knew the relationship between Maya and Mr. Sinha.

"Mr. Ganguli, you know the person?" Mr. Sinha was confused as they knew themselves. Mitali standing beside them gasped at the situation. If Kartik Ganguli knew them and those fathers are in good relations, how come Maya became disowned by his father.

"He is my son. But I didn't know he is interested in designing more than operating patients. His taste changed."

Kaushik smiled bitterly. He still remembered the day when he met Mr. Sinha for the first time. Thanks to his face, changed a lot in the meantime. That man scolded Maya a lot. Kartik wanted to help them but Maya didn't want to meet her family anymore, at least her father.

"By the way, I'm here to ask for a little help. Can you design wedding attires for my son?"

Kaushik looked at him with confusion at first but suddenly smiled understanding he referred to Anand.

"Did Anand ask you for this? Did he agree to marry Avantika? I mean where is he now?"

"He said he's going to take Avantika out tonight."

Mitali and Kaushik exchanged glances. They were in a hurry to make calls. Of course that was a piece of news.

Anand was waiting for Avantika for five minutes. He knew she was always punctual, so he didn't mind these five minutes. Suddenly he gasped to see Avantika came towards him in a saree. He became dumbfounded to see her like this.

"You are wearing saree, why?"

"Don't you like saree. You once said to Arun those women you like wears saree." She raised an eyebrow.

"That's not like this. In my life I was only close to my mom and Drishti, and as a bangali both of them liked to wear saree, that's all I mean." He explain with a bitter smile.

"Ohh...but didn't you like it?"

Anand didn't know whether to laugh or cry. But of course he liked it.

"You look beautiful today."

Not knowing how to respond to his compliment, she asked, "Where are we going today?"

"I'm taking you there, just don't break up with me." Anand got into his car without any further words. Avantika didn't know what she meant but that was rude not to open the door for her.

"Why would I break up?" She asked curiously.

"If I say I didn't plan to take you on a date!?" He smiled awkwardly.

"Then where are you taking me? Are you kidnapping me or what? What is on your mind?" She was confused as he didn't reply.

Almost after fifteen minutes they reached in front of a building. It didn't look like a house neither a hotel or shopping mall. It looked like an office building. She didn't know what he planned but followed him anyway.

When they got in, suddenly an officer saluted Anand, "Sir, I've prepared what you said to do."

Avantika was looking at the person curiously, as the person did the same. She really felt awkward to come to such a place in a saree. Now she understood why Anand reacted like that.

"What's going on?" She pinched on his arm.

"You need to learn how to shoot. It's not so safe to become my wife. I caught a lot of criminals and even encountered a lot. A lot of people want to kill me. I heard from Arun you know martial arts. I will train you on that little by little. Now you need it most. So your training starts now." He explain returning his eyes in stern mode as if he was the trainee.

"Can we break up now?" She asked in a low voice.

"I gave you the chance to go back one. Now, you have no way out." He smirked.
