"What did you say?" Uncle Robi threatened.
"You are funny..."
Naina interjected his words when she pulled Shyam arms making his mouth shut instantly. "Uncle Robi, He is a new member. So, Please" She grabbed by the arm and literally drag him out.
"Sorry Director, But I think this is not your place" Naina said in convinced tone.
Shyam raised his eyebrow, "What is my place then?"
Naina looked at him carefully out of the corners of her eyes. "I mean this kind of shabby club doesn't suit you."
Shyam stared at her gloomily, "Did you know that I came here because of you?".
"Sorry" Naina slightly bowed.
"Don't apologize" Shyam face darkened.
Naina was nervous and she didn't know what he was thinking, so she braced herself and said, "Director, I think we should make it clear. I don't... "
"Stop it! I don't want to hear" Shyam snapped. After taking a deep breath, he finally managed to calm down.
"Slm Naina, Why can't you give me a chance?" Shyam asked taking a step forward, his eyes looked on her.
Naina opened her mouth to speak but she clamped it back shut. Shyam's frown deepened when she remained mute, not making an attempt to answer his question.
Shyam took a step again towards her and she responded by taking another step backward.
"Let's hear the reason at least. Who knows I might become your perfect boyfriend". He demanded, this time his voice was more graven than before. Naina's breathing became ragged from his gaze.
"Because I have a boyfriend". Naina blurted out unconsciously.
"Boyfriend!" Shyam said in a low yet dangerous tone, as he slowly leaned closer. "Who is it? The one that you hug in front of the club" He said, his eyes looking at hers which were fluttering.
"The one that I hug in front of club. Did I hug anyone?" Naina was struggled inside her brain.
"Is it?" Shyam pressed again.
Naina squared her gaze at him in a defiant manner. "Yes, He is my boyfriend".
Shyam had his eyes locked on hers, her pupils were calm and earnest, she didn't seem to be joking around...
Shyam nodded his head as he pulled away from her. "It's okay. You are not married to him yet." Shyam said in domineering tone.
Naina glanced at Shyam with an expression of dislike. "What's wrong with this man?"

"Should I just call him?" Glipy become more anxious after he saw Sundar leaving together with his ex girlfriend.
"No.. No.. It's not like they are going alone. Moreover they break up. Don't overthink!" Glipy snapped herself back to reality.
Time passed by quickly and the sun was about to set as over the west horizon. Street lamps started to light up and many people were preparing to come home.
Having finished her dinner, Glipy went upstairs and to the bedroom with her phone. An hour later, her phone rang. She immediately picked it up after looking at the caller ID.
"Sundar?" Glipy greeted in happy voice.
"What are you doing right now?" Sundar spoke into the speaker of his phone.
"I just finished my dinner" Glipy replied.
"Seems like my girlfriend is enjoying herself" She heard a deep teasing voice.
"What are you saying about?" Glipy couldn't help but smile as she answered. "So, Where are you now, in a hotel or...?" Glipy paused.
"Or Where..?" Shyam asked in teasing tone.
"Nothing... " Glipy said in audible tone.
"Don't worry! I am in hotel with my friend Kinson. He is sleeping right now" Glipy answered without a smile.
Glipy smiled as she used the pillow to support her back as she relaxed on the bed's headboard. After two seconds of silence, Glipy asked concernedly, "Have you eaten?".
He smiled as he said with his deep voice, "Well...Its unfortunate that I can't eat my favourite now".
"Yo.....u, you, you". At this point, Glipy stuttered as she was too shocked to speak. Sundar laughed loudly as his deep voice rang through the phone.
