I was in a elevator, and was off from work. When I received a message from Kartik, " I''m in Mumbai now tell me where you are staying I''ll come there."

    He was here because there will be a meeting tomorrow in office ,which will declare the official completion of our project .

    "I''m staying at Taj hotel", I replied to him.

    "Well I''m gonna check in there too", he replied instantly.

    "Oh OK", I replied not knowing what to say else.

    The elevator stopped showing my arrival at downstairs , I was still looking at my mobile . When I bumped into someone I was about to fall when two strong hands caught my waist , which stopped me from falling on my bu??. But I was pulled into a wall like ?h?st, "Ouch!! I''m so sorry , I didn''t saw you just now. And thank you ", I apologized and looked up.

    Guess who it was? None other than Mr. Arrogant Kulkarni himself. I know I should feel pity or something for him , but I can''t . I just couldn''t...

    He smirked that smirk again , he wasn''t like how he was yesterday at all. Forget it, who am I deceiving? I know how he better than anyone else. What was I even expecting him to do? Show those emotions again ?Or smile at me and say, ''hello sorry I disturbed you yesterday and thanks for taking care of me? ''. Never...

    "Are you blind ? Can''t you see ahead when walking ?", he said arrogantly but still holding me.

    "I said sorry already OK?", I said trying free myself from him but this guy''s grip was oh so strong.

    "What do you want? Leave me", I said annoyed by the fact that he didn''t let go.

    "Who are you texting to that you are so lost? Your boyfriend? ", he said pulling me closer. I sensed an unusual emotion on his face. Perhaps was that jealousy?

    Not again Piya, I said to myself.

    "That''s none of your business, and leave me for the name of God", I replied him greeting my teeth.

    He loosened his grip on me and I pushed him freeing myself , I left him without turning to look at him again.

    Kartik was waiting for me at the entrance of the hotel when I reached the hotel. I don''t know why , but I didn''t felt the uneasiness around him again. Instead he felt familiar and soothing, he was a good friend indeed.

    The thing I liked about him most was that he never forced himself on me, even if he told me about his feelings he was patient and willing to wait for me. Unlike certain someone...

    "Hello Kartik, and no I''m not tired at all.", I replied to him cheerfully.

    "Oh if that''s the case , would you like to have dinner with me? I''m hungry after traveling here", he said sheepishly.

    "Of course I will, wait I''ll just go up and freshen up . Oh by the way where are you staying?", I asked him curiously.

    "Well um the room next to you", he said a bit nervously and with a low voice.

    Well, I take back what I said before. He is really gullible sometimes, like a glue.

    "Oh OK , I''ll be back in a second ", I said and went to my room to freshen up.

    At the same time a certain someone had witnessed all this conversation between those two and was very angry.

    "Why is she smiling and talking to her boss like that? Doesn''t she know how to restrain herself ? And why does it feel like she is like a sweet little kitty in front of him and like a wild cat in front of me? ", that certain someone said to himself.

    Though he himself didn''t knew why his heart ached when he saw her smiling and talking to other men.

    She didn''t wanted to spoil her mood by talking to him, so she ignored him and walked past him fastly.

    Alok also noticed her walking past him but he didn''t say anything and just smirked at her silliness.

    Soon Piya realized that Alok was following her, but she pretended that she didn''t know.

    She was getting agitated by his behavior she was just thinking about asking him about it when she heard Kartik.

    "Hello Mr. Kulkarni, it''s my honor to have dinner with you", Kartik said to Alok when he saw him coming out of the elevator.

    Piya was clearly stunned by what he said and asked, " What do you mean by dinner? ".

    "It means I''m going with you... ", Alok said shrugging his shoulders like it was obvious and I was dumb to not realize it.

    But I was concerned about something else and it was ,Dinner with this two? How would it end?
