EPISODE 2
Naziya and Arjun both lead to the market to buy a gift for Ravi, their friend and his wife. Naziya bought a platinum gold ring for Ravi's wife Meera and Arjun bought a luxury watch for Ravi. It's been too time in purchasing the gift. Naziya and Arjun both were tired.
Coffee!!!
Yes!!! Naziya took a deep breath.
They went to a Cafe, where both ordered first some snacks and thereafter Naziya's favorite drink, Coffee. Actually Arjun was fond of tea. He liked tea more than Coffee. But with Naziya, he also used to order Coffee.
We met so many times but never ever asked about each other, said Naziya, while having sip of Coffee.
But that kind of meeting was not meeting at all. In 5-10 minutes, can someone know what about anyone, replied Arjun warmly.
Absolutely right!!
On Ravi's reception party, Naziya wore a black coloured Salwar-kameez. She wore smoky eye makeup and carried oxidised jewellery. Here Arjun wore black three-piece suit. Both reached on time at the venue. Both praised each-other and talkings about lot of things as about themselevs and families.
They are looking so cute, naa, Naziya pointed out towards Ravi and Meera.
Of Course!! They are childhood friends now going to be life-partner, said Arjun with a smile.
What is your thinking about marriage? asked Arjun.
Well!! I haven't thought about it yet, Naziya replied. But I'm pretty sure that I'll do what my parents want. Anyway, what about you?
I'm pretty sure that I'll do what my heart wants, said Arjun with a smile.
Naziya was in thought after listening to him.
Hey!! where are you lost?
No...No, Nowhere......
Oh!! It's been too late. Now I gotta go. Bye, Arjun. It was too nice to talk with you and know about you.
Me too, Naziya.
Bye. Take care.
Why heart is beating, when I be with him? Why my heart not listen to me? What is it in him that draws me to him?
So many questions are crawling in my mind but I can't find any answer yet. Naziya was thinking while lying in bed. And thinking all this, when did she fall asleep, she didn't know.
When she got up the clock was running 8 a.m.
Oh, Allah! Boss gonna kill me. She got up as soon as possible and then did her daily chores. At 10 a.m. sharp she was ready, fetched out scooty from parking area headed to the office.
But........the scooty got punctured interruptedly in middle. Oh! Allah! again........what I do? she murmured herself.
Luckily Arjun was passing by there. Seeing her in trouble he stopped his bike in front of her.
What's the............as soon as she rose up her face, seeing him in front of her, she anger vanished. Her face blossomed.
You.......you, here? she did moderate herself.
Why shouldn't I have been here? he smiled.
Hmm......actually......
I know, I know.
Can I drop you at your office? If allowed.....
She nodded in yes.
But scooty.....she was bit upset.
Don't worry about it. I call a mechanic.
It was the first for both of them that both were so close to each other. Suddenly a dog came interruptedly in front of his bike, as he applied brake, she falling off on him and her hand automatically placed on his shoulder. Their bodies collided with each other. By this unexpected adventure both became uncomfortable.
Didn't know from where it came? Sorry! he said
It's alright. It happens sometimes, she replied shyly. I know that your intentions are not wrong.
Did you say something?
No, no, nothing.
There were a few tea-coffee stalls by the side of the road.
Shall we stop for some-time? Asked Arjun.
She nodded.
They got off the bike walked towards a stall.
They both sat on a wooden bench. What would you like to have? he asked.
A cuppa Coffee.
Bhaiya, do coffee. Thoda jaldi karna please.
Nazia was shaking her legs nervously. Arjun could see her nervousness.
Don't be nervous, Naziya.
How did you know? she was surprised.
I can see it on your face.
Actually today is big day for me. I have to show my presentation in front of my boss. First time I've made it by myself. That's why I'm bit nervous, saying this Naziya started to look at the stall for Coffee.
In a while, the waiter came with two hot coffees. As soon as Naziya took a sip, it's so delicious that I had tasted so far, not even in that cafe.
Then it started drizzling lightly.
Oh, Wow!! It’s really amazing to take sip of Coffee in the midst of the slight rain, said Naziya.
Arjun said nothing just smiled.
So, shall we go? After having coffee Naziya insisted.
Sure! He said and they walked towards the bike.
Thank you so much, Arjun, while reaching office Naziya said him a big thanks.
Dosti ka ek usool hai madam no sorry, no thank you. Ever heard, laughed Arjun.
Hahaha......many times, also laughed Naziya.
As she turned to go, Hey Naziya!! Don't worry, I'm sure that your presentation will be good, said Arjun with thumbs up.
Thank you, smiled Naziya. But in a next moment she said, oh I forgot, dosti ka usool hai no sorry, no thank you. And both laughed.
There were some employees in Nazia's office who never did their work on time, due to which they had to be scolded by the boss. They were all jealous of Nazia, the reason was because the boss always praised her and used to say learn something from Nazia. She was a hardworking girl, used to do her work honestly, so the boss was also happy with her.
And on that day her presentation was mind-blowing too. She then did message to Arjun. Guess what? My presentation gone to be perfect and boss praised me. In a few seconds, he also messaged, I knew it. Kudos to you, Nazia. Congratulations!!! and then he sent her a smiley.
Thank you, she also sent a smiley.
Then he called her. Hey, won't you give a treat?
Of course!! Tell me, which restaurant or cafe to book? She asked.
As you like!!
Okay, then meet at the Papaya at 8 p.m. sharp.
No, no I'll pick you. I'll book a cab.
It was a cool evening. Both are excited to meet at a different place. Naziya had scattered her outfits on the bed. What should I wear? she was confused. She then went with an off shoulder deep red dress. She carried a Chokar with matching studs. Makeup was dark which complementing with her dress. Smoky eyes, red lips were giving her a picture perfect.
Here Arjun was also in a bit confused about the dress. I think I should go with white shirt, black jeans and bandi. Then he set up his mind and got ready in some few minutes.
At the 7 p.m. he was standing outside Naziya's apartment. He then called her. Hey! Are you ready?
Yes, coming in five minutes.
Hi there! said Naziya, behind of Arjun.
As he turned, he got awstruck. He staring at her without blinking his eyes.
Hello!! as Naziya brought him out of his thoughts.
Ammm.....yes!!
Shall we go?
My God!!! You are looking so pretty, Arjun praised.
Thanks, let's go.
Ya, sure.
