Shravan again woke up with Drishti spread all over him.
Does she even realise that she sleeps using him as a cuddle bear??
How would she know?? He always wakes up before she does.
Shravan shook his head and extricated himself from her death grip and got on with his morning business.
Once he was ready for office, he looked towards her to see her still sleeping.
He tore a paper from his notepad a wrote a message for her and left it on the bedside table and left for his office.
Drishti woke up to the constant ringing of her phone.
"The number you are trying to call is currently busy sleeping. Please hold the call or call again later" Drishti mumbled into the phone without even opening her eyes.
"Get the hell up D. You promised to help me in the preparations." Siddu said from the other side
"Yeah yeah. I promised to be there by afternoon. It's not noon yet. Why do I have to wake up early when I don't have to go to college. Let me sleep and go bother someone else" she mumbled sleepily
"You have to go shopping remember??" Siddu said and that did the work
Drishti sat up on the bed with a jerk.
"Oh dear!! I would be late to come to your home. I have lots and lots of shopping to do" Drishti said all excited at the prospect of a new wardrobe.
What?? She loves shopping!!
"Get a dress for today's dinner. You can go for the remaining shopping tomorrow" Siddhu said
"Only if you promise to give me company!!" Drishti went in for the kill.
Siddhu groaned loudly.
"Fine." Siddhu agreed and Drishti laughed heartily at her victory.
Once she hung up she was about to get down the bed when she saw the note on the bedside table.
'I was a little tensed with some issues at office'
Drishti turned the paper around to make sure she didn't miss anything.
And when she accepted that there's nothing else written she huffed in annoyance.
"Where's the magical word he was supposed to say??" She asked loudly
As soon as she got ready for the day, she decided she isn't coming back tonight. She will stay at Siddu's place tonight and that will give Mr Husband enough time to miss her.
Anyway, as a courtesy she should message him about her plans and she took her phone to do the same and realised that she hadn't taken his phone number when she gave him hers.
"Damn"
The her eyes again fell on the note which he left.
Well! If he can leave a note, so can she.
She took the paper and wrote a message on the other side of the paper.
'Stay over at a friend's place. Got a function to attend.'
Soon after her shopping Drishti reached the Agnihotri Mansion.
"Finally" Siddhu came towards her and took the shopping bags from her.
"Siddu say cheese" Drishti called out posing the phone for a selfie.
Siddu rolled his eyes and took the phone too from her
"If the phone is with you, you wouldn't do any work"
"My phone" Drishti whined
"Will return in after all the works"
Shravan was going through some files when he heard his phone ring.
He picked up the call seeing the ID Abhay.
"Abhay. Why were we not informed about your wedding before??" Shravan asked as soon as he picked up the call
"I could ask you the same thing" Abhay said with a laugh
"I would have informed you if someone had informed me." Shravan said
"What??"
"It's a long story man. Will tell you in detail later"
"Anyways. I called to invite you for dinner tonight. Actually there's a pooja this evening and dinner afterwards. I'm inviting only you Mithran and Isha. You can bring your wife too. That way we can meet her too" Abhay said
"Sure. We will be there. See you at night" Shravan said and hung up the call and went back to his files
"Did Abhay call?? He was saying he couldn't get to you yesterday" Mithran asked as he walked into Shravan's cabin
"Yeah. We just talked." Shravan said and took in Mithran's attire
Mithran is wearing a black ripped jeans, black t shirt and black leather jacket
"Why do you always dress like this to the office Mithran?? Wear something formal. You are the Co CEO of SM."
Mithran laughed
"This is how I'm Shravan. And anyways, I'm usually out in the field. So why should I wear a three piece suit and have myself melt in the sun" Mithran said and Shravan shook his head
"You will be coming to Abhay's home tonight right??"
"Yes. Where's Isha darling?? Let me go and check if she needs a lift tonight" Mithran winked at him and left his cabin
Shravan looked at him in disbelief. Isha is their friend. And Mithran has lately started flirting with Isha a lot. Why in the hell does he want to ruin their friendship??
Shravan took his phone to send a text message to Drishti about the dinner.
'Dinner tonight at friend's place. Be ready by 6'
He walked into an empty apartment
Now where the hell is she??
She is supposed to be back from college by 4.30 in the evening and its already 5.15 now.
He dialed her number again which went unanswered.
He decided to freshen up and get ready first instead of doing nothing and waiting for her.
As the time crossed 6.30 he started getting worried
Is she okay??
Did she get into some trouble??
Is she still upset with him for what happened yesterday??
Didn't she see his note??
He looked towards the bedside table and saw the note he wrote lying on the floor.
He took it and read his own words and scrunched his nose
Not very apologetic!!
He crushed the note and threw it in the trashcan.
When the clock struck seven, his phone rang and he picked up the call not without seeing the caller ID as his Bluetooth ear pods were connected
"Hello! Drishti?? Where are you?? It's 7 already. I have been trying to reach you for god knows how long??"
"Woah. What's wrong??" Mithran asked from the other side
"Mithran??"
"Yes. The one ane only. Now tell me! You were supposed to start an hour ago. And what's it about Drishti?? She isn't home??"
"She isn't. I have been waiting for two hours. I don't know where she is. She isn't picking up the phone" Shravan said running his hand through his hair in frustration
"Let's go looking around for her. Send me a picture of her. We will go in different direction"
"I don't have a photo of her" Shravan said
"F*cking great. Now give me a little details about her" Mithran asked already getting on his sports bike.
"She's very beautiful" Shravan said as he locked the door and got into the elevator.
"Cool. As there are not many beautiful woman in the city, it will be easy to find her" Mithran said sarcastically as he kick started his bike.
Shravan huffed in annoyance as he walked towards his car.
"She's of average built."
"Go ahead"
"She has dimples" Shravan said as he started the car driving out of the apartment parking area
"How cute."
"Shut up. You are not helping"
"I'm asking you to tell me something with which I can identify her. I'm not asking you to describe her beauty"
"She has green eyes" Shravan said
"Great. As green eyes are pretty rare, it could help" Mithran said seriously this time.
"I hope so"
"I will call Abhay and let him know we will be a little late. Meantime, you see if you could get a picture of her." Mithran said and hung up
"Where the hell are you Drishti" Shravan whispered to himself as he tried her phone once again
