Sometimes all we need is just a hint, but what happens when we don't realize it?
Same thing happened with me, after talking with Kartika I went to Aditi and offered her help. In the beginning she was not ready but somehow I managed to say yes.
Aditi and I are shifting, arranging the documents in the store and finding out the files which were needed in the coming time.
"Hey, don't you want to meet sir?", Aditi asked me out of the blue. I was taken back from her question as there is no chance I can ignore him my entire life. But I am just not ready for this now.
"Sir?", I said to myself but Aditi replied as she thought that I didn't know whom she was talking about, "Yes, Armaan sir?"
"No, there is nothing like that. I just don't know why, but I was not ready to get together with Mr Armaan.", I composed myself and said in a normal relaxed tone.
"He is our boss. You should meet him because it will be common as you all have to work together.",she suggested while placing the file in the drawer.
"Yes, I agree but-", I was about to complete my answer when suddenly the landline started ringing and Aditi stood up saying, "Just a min."
She heard someone and simply replied, “Okay, I will be there."
After talking on the call she turned to me, "Namrata, sir is here. I am going to meet him. Could you please take these files to the 25th floor and place them at the right places? And then go to the PR department as Raj sir said."
"Yeah, sure.", I said and she replied, "Thanks."

Armaan's POV
Life is so fast in Mumbai. I came to Mumbai five years ago after my graduation and started my business. I faced a lot of difficulties but never lost.
In this entire journey, both my friends were my strength. They helped in everything and I am so thankful to them. They treated me like a brother.
I didn't have a happy family due to some circumstances. I spent my childhood in a boarding school where I met Shlok and Raj and we became best friends. After that we were always together.
I was away from my family but they never made me feel like I am alone. And their wives are cherry on the cake. They always take sides instead of their husbands and I also adore them. Both of them are like my sisters.
As soon as I entered my office, I was greeted by my employees. Raj and Shlok went to the factory due to some work leaving me alone to handle everything here.
I was seated on my chair when I heard a knock on the door and saw my assistant standing there and I motioned her to enter.
"Good afternoon sir", she said standing near to my table.
"Hi Aditi, how are you?", I asked and she immediately replied, "I am good sir. Thank you."
I opened my laptop. and told her, "Please get me my coffee, after that we will start our work."
"Sure sir, I will just get it for you.", she said and left from there.
After waiting for ten minutes patiently I got my coffee. Shlok and Raj also came back as due to some reasons the meeting was cancelled in the factory. We were discussing the strategies which we are going to follow for the next fifteen days.
"Aditi, get me the file of our Palghar project. Also I want you to inform the sales and marketing department to be ready for the meeting.", I told her and she grabbed her notepad and left after saying, “Sure, sir. I will do that."
"Where are you going?", I asked her observing her leaving and she said innocently, "To get the project file, sir."
"Okay.", I replied and she left.
What is happening with me? Why can't I concentrate on anything? Is my mind playing games with me?
What the hell is wrong with my heart that it's beating like a drum?
I was so lost in myself that I didn't realize that Shlok and Raj were also sitting in front of me.
Raj called me, "Armaan." And I hummed in response.
"I have a surprise for you.” he said, showing me his full toothy smile.
I said, mocking him, "What? Did you find my long lost friend?" And he looked at me like I had grown two horns on my head. I continued to clear his confusion, "Yes, who once happens to be an intelligent person."
"Bad joke.", he replied, getting angry.
I raised my hands in surrender and said, "Okay okay now, tell me what's the surprise?"
"Someone special is here to meet you.", He told me and my mind immediately took me to Diana.
"Someone?” f**k is Diana also came to India. I talked to myself and stood from my chair.
"Yes", He said and also stood and Shlok was watching us like we were not even there.
I went towards Raj and asked excitedly, "Where is she?"
Raj looked at me shockingly and asked, "How do you know, it's her?"
I irritatedly replied, "You don't need to know that just tell me, where is She?"
"She is on the fifth floor waiting for you In the PR Department?", he told me and I said in affirmation, "Fifth floor, okay."
After Armaan ran to the Fifth floor, Raj turned to Shlok, "Why is he so excited to meet Ishita?"

Namrata's POV
Fuck, it was so tiring to help Aditi. No wonder she never shows up in cafes or anywhere. She must have managed so many things. I can call her a super woman now.
After completing the work which Aditi asked me to do I went to the fifth floor as our PR department is there. I need to discuss something with them as advised by Raj sir.
But when I reached there I saw the entire PR Department was empty. I saw few cabins but they were empty so I thought to call someone.
I called, "Is anyone here?"
"Excuse me.", I continued
"Hello.", I entered a few more cabins to confirm if anyone was there.
After going through many cabins I stood somewhere to take a breath and talked to myself, "Strange where is everyone. It's not even lunch time."
After thinking for a while I concluded, "Might be they have gone for some meeting or what? I should leave then."
I was about to turn when the room went dark. It means again electricity failed and I yelled literally to myself, "What the hell?"
I palmed my face in my hands and, "What's the matter with this electricity? Why does it always happen to me?"
I was already so nervous due to the darkness when I saw someone standing at the window which made me shiver with fear.
I asked an unknown person "Who's there?" but no one replied.
I was about to run from there but before that I turned and thought to ask again and then leave.
I was about to say, "Who-" but before that I found myself in someone’s arms. And then I heard the most unwanted voice, "Baby, I missed you a lot."
“Armaan Sir”

Armaan's POV
I was literally running to the lift to meet Diana.
I can't believe Diana is here. She told me she had a surprise for me. And I imagined that she will come to India. But later on she said, she will give it later.
I would have trusted my instinct that she would accompany me to India.
I pressed the lift buttons many times until it opened and when I went in. I was getting so impatient and I punched the lift and asked myself, "Why is this lift moving so slow?"
After getting out of the lift I ran to the fifth floor and found Aditi going to the cafeteria on the sixth floor by stairs.
I called her from behind, "Aditi, where is she?"
She motioned me to the PR department and I ran there not before hearing, "She has gone to the PR Department sir."
I yelled, "Okay thanks."
Armaan left from there like someone put his ass on fire and Aditi thought to herself, "now who would save Namrata?"
She talked to herself and said, "Seems, Armaan sir knew that she was trying to escape the meeting. Why are you so dump, babe?”
Armaan reached the PR Department and saw darkness was spread all over.
"Who's there?"I heard an unknown voice which was not unknown actually.
"Diana", I called but no one replied.
I entered the PR Department and there she is. I spotted her standing in the middle of the hall. Her back was facing me. I saw her black reflection in darkness. And unknowingly I just went there and hugged her from behind, "Baby, I missed you a lot."
I was on my peace, my heart was beating fast which never happened when I hugged Diana. I released her from my tight grip and turned her so that we would be facing each other. I found her moving in my arms and I knew she wanted to talk but before that I put my lips on her. Her soft plump lips were different but not unknown. It feels like I kissed them before.
Her lavender fragrance is different but mesmerizing. My mind was relaxed with her scent.
Her hands were soft and her nails were tiny but her hands fitted perfectly in my hands.
She was on her toes and I can say she is not wearing her high heels otherwise she usually reaches to my six feet height.
