After the tests, he took Krishna back to his sister. She did not say a word to him, ever since she entered the office. Her brow pinched as he looked at her. Was she angry with him?
Karan's phone rang diverting his attention from her. He tilted to the side and saw that it was Koran. It seemed he had a connection with Priyanka. His brother called while she was still in his office.
He picked up the call and walked to the end of the office. Priyanka's eyes trailed him as he moved around the corner to talk to his brother.
"What's man? Are you done with the surgery?" Karan asked.
"Yes, we just finish and I'm heading towards your office so that we can have lunch together, bro" Koran told him. His voice sounded dull. "I need a good rest."
"I know. It is good that you are coming to my office" He smiled at the Priyanka who rolled her eyes up. It was clear that she did not like him. Well, it did not bother him, since he did not like her too.
"Why did you say so?"
"Your sweetheart is in office," Karan said, in a low tone. He walked into the door that led to the restroom so that Priyanka would not listen to their conversation. He did not believe that he was doing this.
"Which of my sweethearts are you referring to?" Koran's voice asked, again.
"The dancer girl, You met the other day."
"Oh, she?... Please don't tell me she is around? Lunch is canceled, Karan. I'm not coming again."
"But Why?" He was confused. They were supposed to have lunch together. They do it every day except if one of them was not in town.
"If I come to your office, she is going to know that we are two different people with the same face and I don't want to confuse her like this."
"She is already confused. You have to explain to her since you are the one who brought the confusion" Karan told him.
"Well, this is the wrong time to tell her" Koran maintained. "You help me set a date with her, this evening. I will pick her up at the dancing house."
Karan almost screamed in the restroom. He felt like punching the phone but it won't help him. Koran was not going to be affected. "You will do the date setting yourself. I'm off."
"Wait, don't end the call. Please just do this for me. After today, you will be free of us."
Karan sighed. He was not going to refuse his younger brother. Most of the time, he did all their dirty work for them. "Fine, I will." He ended the call and glared into the mirror on the wall. How on Earth was he going to say this to her?
She did not like him. It was obvious from the way, she looked at him today. Priyanka was going to think that he was falling for her.
He turned the tap on and poured water on his sweaty face. His heart was racing so hard that he was afraid that it might stop.
Karan was not new when it came to girls. He takes them out for parties every night. His best friend was female. But he has never asked any one of them to go on a date. This was so strange and unlike him.
Nevertheless, he was going to do it for his brother.

Priyanka waited for them to come back. They spent two hours before coming back to the office. And when Karan came, he left for the other room.
She wondered what type of host he was. How can one abandon his guests for a call that took him more than twenty minutes? "Are you sure he is still alive in there?" She asked Krishna, who sat beside her.
"Don't be negative, Priyanka. The call must have been from a very important personality" He defended, placing his hands on her shoulder. "The doctor will be out soon."
"I pray so," she said. Her eyes wandered around the room till they fell on the photo frame on his table. Priyanka was surprised to see it there. She didn't believe that Karan has someone special in his life. The cold-hearted punk behaves like a man without a love life.
"Let me check out his photo frame" She walked to his table and winked back at Krishna. ", Don't worry he won't come out now."
He smiled. Krishna knew that his sister liked the Doctor. Why she was pretending was what made it more interesting. True lovers hate each other at first sight. The next minute, they jump at each other's throat while falling in love.
Just when she was about to touch the photo, the door opened and the doctor came out, staring at her.
Quickly, Priyanka hid her hand at the back and started walking around the room, endless. She did not expect him to come out soon.
"What are you looking for?" Karan veered towards her. She was surprised that he cane rather fast.
"I wanted to see whose photo, it was."
"Well, you should have asked for my permission first. I don't like when peopleee touch my things like this" He came so closed that she thought, their lips were going to meet. Her heart skipped as she stared at his sexy lips. the thought of kissing them drove her insane.
Those pair of golden eyes gazed curiously at the same time, passionately. (Was Karan going to kiss her?).
Priyanka felt the heat traveling from her lips to her spine. He did not touch her yet, she felt like he did. But why will she allow the man she hates to touch her?
Karan took a step back as if he just noticed the little boy's presence in the room. "Sit down, Miss Kapoor."
No response.
"Priya?" Krishna called.
Priyanka was yet to recover from the heat. He strolled passed her. Her brother dr voice brought her back to her senses. "Y-yes...dear."
"The doctor is talking to you."
"W-what?...Y-yes. I'm listening" She swiveled to the doctor. He was writing a note. Priyanka exhaled. It was good that he was not looking up.
"You will come back for Krishna's test results a day after two tomorrow," Karan told her. He finished writing the note but he shoved it into the pocket of the blue long sleeves shirt. She just noticed how dashing in looks while dressing in corporate wear. He looked like those hot, sexy, and rough CEOS, she read in books.
"I will be here on that day" She nodded like a little girl, who got scolded by her teacher.
Again, I want to ask for a favor" He let out. "I hope you will say yes to me?"
A favor to do for the prince of doom? No way! she was not going to help him in any way. "I can say yes without knowing your request, so go ahead."
He took a deep breath, gazing at her. His fierce eyes changed into the innocent eyes of a baby as he spoke "Can we go out on a date this evening?"
