In the Ritz mansion, upstairs in Natasha's room, her phone rang, she was in the middle of a chit chat with her sister Nikita. She wondered who might be calling her.
She picked up her phone, checked the caller I.D and saw that it is her fiancee, her future husband Yuvi that was calling. She smiled and told Nikita, it is Yuvi that is calling.
Nikita smiled back and replied, ok big sis I will be in my room, I will give you some privacy to talk to my brother in law Yuvi. She left Natasha's room and went to hers, almost immediately she finished her last sentence.
Natasha picked up at the last ring and said hello Yuvi. Hello Natasha, what took you so long? you usually pick my calls at the first or second ring Yuvi responded.
Sorry Yuvi I was chatting with Nikita, she was just leaving my room when I picked up your call, Natasha replied.
Ok my angel, that is alright. I miss you so much already. I miss you too my darling she replied.
Why don't we go out next weekend to our pent house, baby you know we got interrupted the last time we went there! Yuvi groaned.
I miss you too my darling, alright I will figure out how to go an a weekend getaway next weekend with you to our pent house, Natasha replied.
Thanks love I will pick you up after school from the university on Friday. Will that be alright? Yuvi asked. That is alright baby, I will be expecting you then, Natasha replied.
Alright baby I will call you before you sleep. Love you baby, talk to you later, Yuvi said. Love you too my darling, Natasha replied and they both ended the call at the same time.
Meanwhile at the Mehra Mansion...
Sonal and Jasmine were upstairs in Sonal's room. Sonal it's been so long I saw you, we hardly ever hang out anymore. Jasmine complained bitterly.
Jasmine am sorry am just so busy with work at the TV station, haven't had the time to catch up with you. And you know I work sometimes on weekends aswell. I don't have much free time on my hands nowadays.
Alright Sonal, maybe I should be like you too and go get a job, I saw a job add for management trainee at Jah Company. I was checking for the new release date of Jah magazine in the newspaper this morning when I stumbled upon the job add page.
Sonal agreed with her best friend Jasmine immediately, she saw it as a brilliant idea, if they can both work, they would add more value to their lives.
So she said, Jasmine that is a great idea, I wish you the best, you smart and I believe you will get the job. Thanks Sonal, Jasmine replied.
By the way Jasmine, isn't your brother at the army, currently at the military base in the outskirts of Delhi? I remember you mentioned it to me that he recently joined the army.
Yes that is true, Ajay my brother is there right now, and he called home a couple of days ago. But why do you ask? Jasmine asked.
Some cadre of the old army officers are going to get a promotion, Mehra TV is among the selected TV stations that is handling the live coverage.
And as you know, my dad is the Army officer in charge of the military base at Delhi outskirt. I am among those who will be present on ground at the military base to cover the event live.
Do you want to come with me? You can see your brother aswell when we reach the military base.
Yes Sonal, my brother will be delighted to see me. And the trip will keep me busy, and stop me from thinking about the absence of Rohit too much. I need the distraction right now girl. Thanks Sonal.
You welcome Jasmine, what are friends for! They both smiled and continued chatting. It was already 6pm when Sonal left the Mehra mansion and went home to the Singh mansion.
When she got home, she washed her hands and ate dinner with the rest of her family members and went upstairs to her room.
In her room, she took her bath, got dressed and dialed the number of Rohit. Rohit has stopped calling her and when she calls him, it is either he is busy or he is exhausted.
So when Rohit's number was ringing. She thought to herself that is the perfect timing. He is nor busy at work and it is not too late for him to be exhausted to the point that that can't talk for long.
Rohit's phone rang the first time and he did not pick. But surprisingly, as she dialed his number a second time, the call was cut short. She frowned and wondered why Rohit will cut her call. She tried his number for the 3rd time but it did not go through, he had switched off his phone.
Jasmine was sad, tears almost fell off the corner of her eyes. She raised her hands and looked at the diamond ring, she was currently wearing.
She took it off after a while and placed it in her drawer. She wasn't breaking up with Rohit, she doesn't know what is happening with him in Bombay right now.
She was going to ask him about it when he can talk to her but for now, looking at the ring is making her sadder than she already is.
If she doesn't see the ring in her hands, she would not feel the sadness that much, hence the reason she took off her ring.
Meanwhile in Bombay....
Rohit was having dinner with Sunita. He didn't want Jasmine's call to ruin this moment. It wasn't a proper date but it was a chance he had to get to know Sunita more.
Sunita asked him, wasn't that call you had important? I still think you should have answered your call, it might be an emergency, you might never know now, since you didn't answer.
It's my assistant calling, he must be wondering where I am, am not in my room, I will just explain to him later upstairs that I was with you, Rohit lied.
Ok Sunita replied, shall we continue eating, we don't want our food to be cold right? Sunita asked. Yes true, our food shouldnt get cold before we eat it, Rohit replied. They continued with their meal.
Sunita's friends decided to stay back in their suite, they ordered room service though it came with a price they didn't mind, they wanted to give their friend Sunita, privacy downstairs. They didn't want to make the suppose couple feel awkward incase they were spotted by them.
Rohit's assistant, had already ordered some take away and went straight upstairs to his room. Him and Rohit usually do not use the room service, they prefer moving out and getting fresh air like they do when they go out for work.
When Rohit and Sunita finished eating, Rohit paid the bills and they stood up to go upstairs. When they entered the empty elevator, Rohit keyed in their floor number and the elevator moved up. Rohit didn't know what to tell Sunita, Sunita didn't know what to say to Rohit either.
They were both nervous, but both of them didn't allow the other person to notice. It was an awkward silence. When the elevator reached their floor, they stepped out.
As they moved, Rohit summoned up courage and held Sunita's hand. It felt good to him and Sunita didn't object to it, so they held hands till they got to Rohit's room. Sunita's room was still up ahead.
When they reached his room, still holding Sunita's hand with one hand, he used the other hand to get his room key from his pocket.
Before he opened the door, he summoned more courage and asked, do you mind coming inside? I want to treat you to a cold refreshing juice before you go back to be with your friends in your room.
Sunita hesitated at first but in the end she agreed. Initially she was already feeling sad inside that once Rohit opens his door, she will bid him goodnight and go to her room.
But now, Rohit was giving her an invitation to come inside his room. She couldn't be more happier. Though she hesitated before she answered, but what she wanted to really do was jump up for joy.
She couldn't do that, she could only answer shyly that she doesn't mind accepting his invitation inside his room.
Inside Rohit's room, his table was packed full with his documents scattered all over the place. He usually worked like that. He would have arranged it earlier if only he knew he would be having Sunita come inside his room.
His invitation for her to come inside his suite was not planned but spontaneous. It wasn't like how he planned to invite Sunita to dinner earlier in the day.
Sunita is one who likes a clean environment, once she spotted the scattered documents all over the table, she offered to help him arrange it.
Rohit is one who likes arranging his personal things himself, he doesn't even allow his fiancée Jasmine help him out. He declined her offer and told her to be comfortably sitted.
He went to bring out the cold juice afterwards with a glass. He poured the cold juice into the glass and offered it to Sunita. After that he went to arrange the documents on his table.
As he was arranging it, he suddenly noticed that Sunita had not touched her juice. He paused and raised his head properly. But to his surprised, he caught her staring at him. He wasn't sure if he was imagining things but it looked like she was admiring him while he arranged his documents.
Sunita was attracted to him and the attraction she has for him has even gotten deeper because of how handsome he looked when he was arranging his documents.
Rohit then asked her, I noticed you were shy downstairs and even up til the point we got inside but suddenly you not shy anymore and you have not even touched your juice.
Well Rohit, she became bold all of a sudden, the way you worked on that document, I mean how you arranging it is very nice. So it is nice to learn a thing or two from that. She didn't spill all the juicy details that she was actually admiring him.
Rohit was touched that she was paying attention, she looked, even if it was just learning how am arranging the documents, it still meant a lot to him.
He then felt unhappy all of a sudden when he remembered how his fiancée gets bored easily by just looking at him when he I working, but instead she prefers to occupy herself with other things like her magazines if he is busy.
Sunita noticed this slight change in his face and said politely. Am sorry if my staring has caused you any discomfort, I will drink my juice now.
Oh no Sunita on the contrary, am pleased, just I remember something back in Delhi but I don't want to spoil the moment. Please carry on, enjoy your juice.
Sunita started drinking her juice and soon enough Rohit was done arranging his documents and came to join her. He brought himself a glass cup and poured some juice for himself.
They drank the juice silently and when they were done drinking, he put the empty glass cups and empty juice can away.
When he came back to sit beside Sunita, he noticed her face flustered red, and he was nervous himself.
He came closer to her, all he wanted to do was kiss her lips at that moment. She wasn't thinking that far, she just loved his company.
She become nervous too, so she stood up almost immediately and stammered, Rohit I think I should take my leave now. It's really late now.
Yes, it's quite late, I will walk you to the door Rohit Responded. Rohit walked her to the door, and even further to the front of her room.
Before she knocked on her room, he summoned the courage and hugged her, wished her goodnight and left.
Sunita froze and before she could recollect herself, Rohit had reached the front of his room. The front of his room could be seen from the front of her room.
Rohit watched as Sunita knocked on her room door, her friends opened for her, she went inside. He opened his room and went inside afterwards.
