Tanvi finished with work at around 05:30 PM. On the way to her home, she wondered, "Did I make it? What'll Mr. Rudra decide?" She tucked her hair behind her ears, "There's nothing I can do on that. Why waste my time?"
With that, she began surfing through her mobile and came across a few interesting design ideas. Her eyes grew wide in anticipation with a glimmer."They are all great, but how to design the combination uniquely?" She began brainstorming by twirling her pendant with her slender fingers until she connected all the dots. A wave of relaxation washed over her."Woah!! If I made this design it would be stunningly gorgeous know?" Excitement shot through her nerves. She reached her apartment and slipped the keys off in her bewilderment. "Oops!" She tapped her forehead and twisted the doorknob.Tanvi jumped onto the couch and commenced designing the draft. Her round eyes followed the swift movements of an ink brush. Her delicate hand swung while painting endlessly.After hours of hunching over design illustrations, "Yay!! I did it." She dabbed her shoulder in accomplishment. Her lips gave a lovely smile by glancing at the sketch. "Man!! I made it." A thrilling scream banged in her house. Later, she pinned it into the folder carefully.Tanvi straightened, noting with the discomfort in all the kinks and crimps in the muscles of her. As they slowly released their hold, inch by inch, she relaxed, feeling the blood flowing into the formerly tight places.Darted to the balcony, Looking at the beautiful full moon, she wondered, "How good it would be to have this pleasant weather forever?" While she dozed off, a picture of Riaan came to her mind and realization hit her. "I told him that I'll call him.""Hmmph. I always forget such sort of things." She grabbed her phone and dialed. He didn't pick until nearly the last ring."Hey, Tanvi!! You finally called me." Riaan exclaimed."Huh! I'm sorry Riaan, I just remembered about our call." Her voice was apologetic while she bit her lips."It's okay Tanvi. No worries. You called me, that's more than enough for me." Riaan said joyfully."Thanks, Riaan. So, what's up?" She felt grateful with his understanding and nodded to herself."In the office! I just finished my meetings. What about you?""I just designed some drafts. So what else?""Tell me about yourself, like apart from your biodata. I wanted to get to know the you not in the questionnaire." Riaan said slowly"Huhhhhhh??""Hey, just relax!! If you are not comfortable then it's fine with me. I'm just curious about you, want to know more about you" He explained."Okay," she lifted her head and stared at the ceiling blankly. Rolling her already crossed legs, her thumb shifted onto her chin. After a pause, "I love to eat icecreams, chocolates. I like to watch movies, go trekking with my friends, roaming……….""Wow! That's nice.""So what about you?""I'm not that much of a party type, I like to play football, volleyball and watching movies!"Tanvi stood up and paced to her bedroom with a chuckle. She put the phone on the speaker and slipped into her pajamas. They were discussing countless things while she ate dinner and did her chores....In return to her room, the hanging wall clock ticked. Her gaze focused on the clock, "11:00 PM." She squealed. "Damn it!! My ears turned red with the heat."With that she texted Ameera. "Babe!!""What's up, babe?""I spoke for two hours with Riaan."Ameera sent a gaping emoji. "No wonder, you are not online this whole time.""Shut up!!" They both laughed."What magic did he had done on you?""I don't know. But, my pulse quicken when I talk to him." Tanvi covered her reddened cheeks. Ameera chuckled in amusement."Aiyahhhh! I forget to tell my mom and dad about Riaan.""Come on, inform them now."Tanvi checked the time, 11. 15 PM. "Thank god! They will be awake." She quickly made a video call to her dad. He immediately lifted it though. A sense of warmth rushed into her nerves."Hey sweetie, How are you? Now you got time to call me?" Her father said with a bit of a taunt and happiness in his tone."Sorry papa, these days I'm being much busier than usual. I need to tell you some important information. Call mamma also to listen to it.""We are ready sweeties, now tell us what is the matter??" They asked eagerly.Tanvi smiled and started telling about Riaan, like how they met and what he does. She gave them all the details about him to do a check on the information as well."Okay, sweetie, we will check on their family, and once we get the information about him. You can decide whether you want to marry him or not." Mamma said."Uf mamma. He didn't even say a single word about marriage. I don't know what will happen, but I just want to tell you about this thing. Okay now, I have to go. Take care. Bye-bye!!!! Miss You Guys!!!! Love you."...06:00 AM, 1st SeptemberMaahir lay on the king-sized bed curled up in the soft duvet when the sun blossomed with bright rays in the dawn. The reflections falling on the shiny glass windows had passed through the beige curtains when the cool breeze flew. The rays streamed through the swaying curtains and hit his peacefully sleeping face.A grunt escaped from his plump lips, and he tucked himself beneath the covers dodging the blinding light until the silence resonated with loud echos in the room. He rolled off the bed to shut the alarm and opened his sleepy oval-shaped eyes strenuously. The illumination blinded his vision, and he rubbed his eyes to become sober.Maahir strode to the window and became mesmerized by the breathtaking view. His messy hair fell on his eyes with the heavy wind. Leaned onto the wall with his hands tucked into the pockets of his navy blue pajama and inhaled the fresh oxygen deeply. "Get Harish to the warehouse." Rudra's words echoed in his mind, and he became alert immediately.Snatched his phone from the wooden nightstand, his eyes glued to the screen. Swiping his long fingers and checked the call log of Harish. "I called you twenty times yesterday. Yet, you are still unreachable?" He frowned and fiddled with his mobile in the air while debating, "Should I inform, Boss?" Biting his lips, "no, No! It's a bad idea. Let me try it once more."With that, he dialed Harish, and the tuned bot on the other end irritated him, "The number you called is currently switched off!" He sighed with crouched eyebrows, "This Harish deliberately switched his mobile off from yesterday?""Did he want to make things hard?" Maahir thought and dialed a number. "Yes, Maahir.""Trace a number for me.""Okay, send me the contact.""Hm... I need it in half an hour." Maahir said while glancing at the wall clock."Okay."...08:00 AM. Maahir stood at the isolated location dressed in a white shirt paired up with a beige blazer with gelled onyx hair. With his tall figure, wheatish complexion, and husky muscles, he looked extremely handsome. He strode towards the door and rang the bell a few times, but no response.Peered again at the address on his mobile and looked at his watch. He clenched his fists and punched the wall, then took a deep breath. Put out his cigarette and waited for a while. "What games are you playing, Harish? Come on, open the door now." Maahir yelled.Looking at his unbothered attitude, Maahir's blood boiled with fury. Taking a deep breath, "I know that you are inside. If you didn't act accordingly now, your situation will be even worse." Maahir warned him in a threatening tone, yet Harish didn't show up. He kicked the door in frustration and stomped aside.Grabbing his mobile from the pocket, he dialed Rudra. While Rudra sat on the couch, looking through the documents of The Magenta Bu
Tanvi was in her cabin when her manager Jitender messaged her, "Come to my cabin."With a sigh, she put her work aside and muttered under her breath, "Huh!! I'm sure he'll ask about the presentation."Inhaling a chunk of air, "But.. what to say? Even I don't know the answer." She soughed and left her cabin with a pout."May I come in." She gave a slight knock and queried in her dulcet tone.Almost instantly, she heard a quick 'yes' and hesitantly strode in while a pleasing smile plastered across her face.He glanced at her, his gaze excited,"Any update?"Hearing that, she gulped and muttered, "No, Jitender. I'm waiting for them to contact me."A frown settled on him, and he questioned with a raised brow, "Can't you make the first move?""Um... I don't know whether I can directly send an email to Mr. Chauhan?" Tanvi pondered while fiddling with her fingers, "What if it's not a good thing to contact him straight?""Did you have his email?"Snapped back, "Yes, I found it. It's in the col
2nd SeptemberRudra was in his cabin, finalizing a few of the prominent documents about his upcoming dealings when a knock came by. Without lifting his head, his stern voice said, "come in.""Boss.""Hm.""Ms. Tanvi sent an email.""Okay."Maahir remained dumbfounded and frozen in place, "I thought she is important to him? Is she not?""What name did you say?" A voice caught Maahir's back."It's Ms. Tanvi, Boss."Hearing her name, Rudra paused and lifted his head with widened eyes. An amused look danced on him. "I'll look into it." Maahir nodded and left.In an instant, Rudra logged into the email and opened the one sent by Tanvi.From: tanvisiaraagarwal@umbro. comTo : president@chauhangroup. comGreetings to the President,I am Tanvi Siara Agarwal, BlockChain Project head representing on behalf of Umbro Technologies. My apologies if I had crossed my limits in emailing you, but I sincerely request you to watch th
06:00 PM. Tanvi arrived at her apartment after a hectic day. While shoving her door open, the keys jingled, and she dropped them twice before jiggling the right one into the lock. With a deep sigh, she reached her bedroom and slipped into her pajamas.Strode to her kitchen for a good coffee, while her head is aching pretty bad with the level of stress. In addition to it, "I need to meet Mr. Chauhan and Sign off the project officially.""Ah, my cup is already full with piles of work, and I should travel in between too?" She cursed herself while her coffee was ready by then. Grabbed the cup, she switched on her television and began sipping.Meanwhile, a buzzing sound banged in the living room and disturbed her peace. She screamed with annoyance and went to pick it up. It's Riaan."Hey, Tanvi.""Yes.""I'm in no mood to entertain this today. I have no energy left. I just wanted to sleep and relax." She thought when his voice snapped her back."How's your day?" Riaan noticed the discomfo
Rudra was in his office checking the design and presentation that they were working on to present with the 'Builders Dynasty,' which was a great deal he's going to associate with when her thoughts disturbed him."Her sweet voice, deep black eyes, bouncy hair, her fragrance, dazzling smile, an inevitable charm she possesses, ugh! She's bothering me." Rudra sighed when the corners of his lips curved upwards.Put his files aside, strode to the sprawling glass, and glanced at the blue sky, which was becoming grey with the clouds. "There's something in you, Tanvi, which was attracting me and driving towards you." Rudra opened her snap and stared at her intently."I know you got mesmerized by me, but still composed yourself without acting like other crazy people who threw herself at me." A proud smirk lingered on him when his eyes brightened."I'm not sure whether it's a wise decision to want you by my side or not, but your presence brings happiness to me." His forehead creased with this th
Diana05th September Inside the community at Malabar Hills, Mumbai.With a fresh breeze, the bright sun covered in greyish clouds emitting slight illuminations giving enough warmth on a calm day. A red car halted near the 50-floor skyscraper apartment. The wind from the serene sprawling beach hit his body giving chills.Glanced at the beautiful sea, his spirit uplifted. Inhaling the briny air, a tall man with built muscles hugged his clothes with a few strands of messy hair falling onto his right eye. A crafty smile plastered on his contented lips walked into the 40th story with a stack of files.The main door as wide as it was tall left ajar welcomed him with the lavish, sophisticated interior. The glossy white marble floor, decorated with designed artistic paintings that dominated the walls, every color is bold and painted with such precise lines that it almost looks like a mosaic.The walls coated in whitish-grey, perfectly placed furniture, and the beach view enveloped with the la
09:00 PM. 6th SeptemberCurled up on the soft bed under the quilt, "Ah! Why I'm unable to fall asleep?" Grabbed her teddybear, hugged it, and covered her eyes in an attempt to roll off to sleep."Ugh! After such an exhausting day, why the hell I'm feeling lousy rather tired?" Sat upright unwillingly, "This isn't going to work. I shouldn't flee.""You are beautiful inside out, Tanvi." Riaan's words echoed in her mind. "I'm looking for a bright future ahead of us." The conversation earlier with Riaan shook her, "You seemed to be a good person Riaan. I don't want to crush your hopes."Rested her head on the headrest and closed her eyes while her lips quivered with a mumble, "I know you like me with the way you are with me." Her mind wandered off, "I'm feeling good with it too. But am I ready for it?" The question which she was deliberately trying to dodge caught her.A Sprung of fear attacked her. "Can I truly have a normal life?" Anxiety kept on building inside her belly, and it became
14th September04:00 PM. Tanvi came back to her cabin and threw the file in mopey. Looked at her reflection on the glass, "huh." She sighed in dispirit when Jitender's words rang in her ears, "I didn't expect this from you, Tanvi. How can you behave this careless?""Damn it." She punched the hard glass and pressed her rosy lips into a thin line, and furiously folded her full sleeves near to her elbow, tucked her loose hair into a high ponytail."Fine." She thought while her deep black eyes burned in fumes. Strode to her chair, removed her sneakers, and crossed her legs onto it. "I need a few more additional details to make the changes as per Mr. Chauhan's requirement."Held a pen in her fingers and fiddled with it while ticking it on her head, "As per the information, Mr. Chauhan wasn't present here." Deep in thought, "let me try through an email?"Biting her lips, she closed her eyes and pondered, "there's no better idea than this with me now. It's not like I can meet Mr. Chauhan whe
