"Viaan just bought more than half of the company's share," Aaryan gave a lopsided grin.
"What?" The heights of my surprise just blew up to a different level.
"Lunch, craziness. I'll explain everything to you over lunch," Aaryan winked as he started walking towards the entrance with me.
What was going on in my life?
10. DUS
Igently swirled the smoothie with my straw as I waited for Aaryan to start explaining. We were in an elegant restaurant of a five-star hotel, inside a private cabin with a display of lush greenery and a mini pond. Away from any peering eyes.
Aaryan elegantly cut a piece of steak using a knife and fork before putting it into his mouth. The napkin put around his neck to avoid any accidental stains.
"So..." I cleared my throat hinting him about his promise.
"Oh, yeah!" He placed his cutlery on his plate as he sat back, "Viaan had been interested in that company for months now. Finally, when they were ready to let him buy the shares, with the hope of his investment in the same, they gave him a call about a week ago. Everything was arranged, the meeting was fixed. Neel went through the contract and completed the legal procedures. Vikrant was supposed to accompany Viaan but an urgent matter in the Mumbai business called for his attention. So, here I am with my brother." He paused there to give a dramatic pause before sipping some water.
"Okay," I nodded understandingly and encouraging him to continue.
"We were here by nine, that was when I saw you rushing inside. Our luck! After finishing the meeting," he raised his finger before correcting himself, "actually, I ran from there, through halfway. I couldn't take it anymore. So, I headed to the receptionist and asked for a particular 'Rynah Kundra' and came down to say hello! That's it, the end of the story. Do I have anything else to explain, your honor?" He smirked before taking a sip of his black tea.
"No Aar-Aar, you may not. You are exempted from the law. You did come out with the truth," I waved my hand in the air dismissively.
We both ended up laughing at it. We talked for some more time as we enjoyed the lunch until I realized that my break was about to end. After so many days, I had enjoyed my lunch break again.
We were walking out of the restaurant when my phone began to ring.Faded song by Alan Walkerwas getting louder and louder till I answered the call.
"Hello, Rynah!" It was my mother and she sounded beatific.
"Hi! Ma, what's up?" I asked casually casting a look at Aaryan who stood on the side looking around.
"I've some good news, honey! Ravi and his family have sent a marriage proposal! They like you," my mom shrieked delightedly.
I was shocked for a second before an unexpected laugh left my lips. They didn't reject! They didn’t me like others! I don't have to marry Surya Kanth Nath now!
"Really?" I laughed in joy and disbelief.
"Yes, really really," I could hear the happiness in her voice, "Come back home soon, we need to make the arrangements for the possible engagement."
"Yeah, I will," I smiled at no one in particular as I ended the call.
"Looks like you received some great news," Aaryan commented with a smile.
"Yeah," I sighed feeling better, "My wedding is getting fixed, probably."
He gave me a surprised look, "You are getting married?"
"Not yet, the guy who came to see me a few days ago finally sent his proposal. They might come to discuss the engagement later today, my mom called me home early," I smiled at him.
"That's great news! I am happy for you," Aaryan gave me one of those charming smiles, "I shall pray that everything goes well with your new life."
I couldn't wipe off the grin from my face as we walked to his car and he drove me back to my office.
We chatted animatedly through the ride. Aaryan was already teasing me with Ravi, saying how I will end up freaking him out on our marriage day.
Stopping by my office, he got down to walk me to the door.
"You know you didn't have to do that," I turned to look at him. He leaned forward to whisper in my ear, "I know, but couldn't help myself. Get ready to be worshiped by the queen bitches. I am dying to see the awkwardness that shall drift in the office after today."
