12 Surprised Meet
RITWIK'S POV:
I was sitting at of bar counter. My eyes roaming in no particular direction, where I had seen someone who is familiar and catches my whole attention.
When I try to identify who is she, there three-four man crosses in between and I fail to identify. My eyes are going again and again in that particular direction. Later I recognize that she is none other than Ms. Palak.
I think I'm hallucinating so I thought to call Parth and Rishab so they can recognize her. I call them here and tell them to recognize that girl but they both are looking at me like I'm an alien.
I tell them to look over her and not me. On seeing her, they identify in a moment that she is Ms. Palak the supervisor of your new project. They also said that she is also looking damn beautiful. She looks different from her office look.
Listening to all this, I gets little excited to meet her. But something is stopping him to go towards her and I don't understand what it is. This dress fits perfect on her. Her light make up, her curly hair, everything is attractive like her.

THIRD PERSON POV:
When Tani and Palak reached the club they parked the car and saw the entrance of club and both said in unison, “After a long time." They both hi-fi and went inside the club. When they enters a loud music hits their ears which brings energy in them.
Going inside they directly hit the dance floor. While dancing on there favorite music Tani bumped to one guy and when he turns around, he's one of their friends from college times. Not even one but they are group of four people who were their classmates.
Tani and Palak greets everyone and dance along with them. One side of the bar counter Ritwik along his friends is seated and on the other side Palak is coming with her friends towards the bar counter where Ritwik is seated.
Palak didn't notice Ritwik but he noticed her in instance. They order drinks except Palak and she orders mock tail for herself. They all are talking about there college days and fun they had during that time but suddenly Tani notices Ritwik sitting at a little distance from there. She pokes on Palak’s arm to gain her attention in which she succeed, “What?” Palak said little loudly because of loud music.
“See on my left side.” Tani said gesturing Palak to see left side. Palak sees Ritwik and at the same time he looks at her direct and they have a small eye lock.
They don’t know what to do when they saw each other because of yesterday’s incident. Tani taps Palak’s shoulder to get her attention again and due to this their eye lock breaks.
“Do you see him?”
“Who?”
“Ritwik Oberoi”
“Yes, so what?”
“What are you waiting for go and talk to him!”
“No, I’m not going. See, he is with his friends so I won’t disturb him.”
“But he is your superior , you should meet him once.”
“Still not happening, it’s bad idea.” Palak said.
Listening this she drags Palak to Ritwik.
Ritwik didn’t expect that Palak will come to meet him after all that office things but putting all that thoughts aside he said, “Hi, Ms. Palak and you too.” He gestures to Tani.
“Hello, I’m Taniya Rai.” She said extending her hand for handshake and Ritwik reciprocate to it.
“Hello, Ms. Rai.” He said shaking his hand with her.
“Mr. Oberoi, you are my inspiration, can I have one selfie with you.” Tani said taking her phone out.
While taking selfie Ritwik calls Palak to be in the picture together. Rishabh comes in between and said with naughty grin, “Ricky bro, introduce us also.”
“You have already meet Palak Mehta, she is Taniya Rai and these two are Parth Malhotra and Rishabh Khanna, my best friends.” Ritwik introduce them to each other.
“I think we should leave now.” Palak said holding Tani’s arm.
“Wait a minute Ms. Palak, can I have a talk with you?”He asked hesitatingly.
Before Palak can say anything Tani said, “It’s okk Mr. Oberoi, you can have talk with her.”
“I’m there only.” Saying this she gestures towards there old place where they were standing before.
“I think we should also leave.” Path said dragging Rishabh and going in the direction where Tani is standing.
“Please have a seat.” He said pulling out a bar stool for her. There is an awkward silence between them as no one is speaking because she is thinking that why he stalked her and Ritwik is thinking how to start.
For removing awkward silence he said, “What will you have scotch or beer?”
“No, I’m good I don’t drink?”
“Then mocktail and please don’t say no!”
“Ok”
He orders mocktail for her and scotch for himself. Then he turns towards her. “Look yesterday, I didn’t mean to being rude with you. It happened in heat of the moment.” Ritwik said apologizing
“You are still holding all this, I have forgotten it yesterday only.” Palak said genuinely.
“I don’t why but I was feeling guilty because of me yesterday your mood got spoiled.”
“Don’t feel guilty Mr. Oberoi, I’m all good.”
Meanwhile their drinks arrives and Ritwik gestures Palak to take it.
“By the way you are looking beautiful and I didn’t know that you have this side also.”
“Thanks for the compliment. You still don’t know me properly Mr. Oberoi.”
Again there is an awkward silence between them.
Palak said, “I think now I should leave, my friends must be waiting for me.”
“OK fine, see you in the office.”
“Ya, bye!” saying this she left from there to join her friends but she sees Parth and Rishabh standing with her friends and it seems that they are really having good time. She joins them and seeing her Tani said, “Palak these guys are so nice.”
“OK guys, so we’ll take your leave, Ritwik must be waiting, It was fun meeting you.” Saying this they both left.
One side Tani is nagging Palak asking her that what they talked and on another side Parth and Rishabh are irritating Ritwik. But they both didn’t share anything.
After sometime they all left for their respective homes and Tani with Palak at her place as she staying tonight at Mehta mansion.
At Mehta Mansion:
It’s 11 pm and everyone is already retarded to their rooms so they directly move to Palak’s room. After changing in comfortable clothes they both lay down on bed.
“It was hell amazing.“ Tani said yawning.
“Yes, I agree, I had fun after so long.”
“But it got doubled when Ritwik Oberoi came.”
“Don’t get started again on that topic!”
“But we are not finished, I want all details about tonight’s conversation.”
“There is nothing exciting, I’m very sleepy and tired.” Saying this she hides her face in comforter and closes her eyes.
“No, you can’t sleep without telling me. I want to know.”
“Ok fine.” Saying this she tells her everything and listening all this Tani have dreamy look on her face.
“What, why are you give this look.” Palak asks.
“First he was guilt then he was complimenting you, you’re so lucky. Are you really a girl? ”
“Don’t start again, I want to sleep.”
“OK fine, I’ll not say a word, Good night.”
Saying this she turns off the lights and sleeps.
At Oberoi Villa:
After dropping Parth and Rishabh at their houses, he came back home and he didn’t want to disturb anyone so used spare key and directly moved towards his room. After changing in waist and trousers he sits in balcony with his phone and he sees a picture of Palak which she posted few hours ago. The picture is of her and Tani in the club. He liked them and putting his phone aside, he looks towards moon.
END OF THIRD PERDON POV
RITWIK’S POV:
I don’t know why Isha is behaving like this. First she didn’t tell me about all that marriage thing when I tried talk to her and wants to clear the misunderstandings between us and at that time she pushed me away. Today also, she behaved very rudely when I was not even at fault. I didn’t have any idea that they both called her. I thought that maybe she would understand me like always but today she broke my last hope and at other side, Ms. Palak whom I know from last few days is being understanding towards me even it was my fault. I don’t know where did I go wrong that Ishani is behaving like this with me and from now on I’m not going to clear anything with her if she wants to mend our friendship then this time she have to come.
Thinking all these, I gets little tired, I slept after sometime.
