Goriye
Tu kinni gori hai
Tu zameen pe chaand ki jodi hai.
Buri hai
Badi buri hai,
Duniya ki neeyat, Chhoriye...
Nazar na lag jaaye jaanu
Thought ye ghabraye saanu
Nazar na lag jaaye jaanu
Thought ye ghabraye saanu

"What does he think of himself huh, he is the one who said to wait for me & god what happened now he is saying that GET BACK TO WORK huh." i imitate him.

That Akdu Rathore ughh i hate him, i groaned. But Riddhima he is the one who stands for you, my so called subconscious mind again gives me reality check.

Riddhima it's not time for think these stupid things let's find Nishant sir.

Nishant sir where are you, i tried finding him here & there. I think i should call him, i think before making a call. What he didn't receive my call maybe he is busy.

I think i should message him. Hello Nishant sir sorry to disturb you can you meet me after office at parking lot please, i delieved a message.

Now it's time for Dhruv, i smile midcheviously. Dhruvji i am coming, i walk towards cafeteria.

Reaching cafeteria i roam my eyes in all cafeteria & found him sitting beside window seat typing something in his phone.

I walk towards him without making any noise and coverd his eyes from behind, he flinch little because of sudden movement.

"Buttercup i know you are covering my eyes" he said. "Aree yrr Dhruv tumbhi na" i smile to him & take a seat infront of him.

"Btw Buttercup itna sab kuch hogya tumne mujhe btaya kyu nhi, you consider me as your friend" he worriedly asked me.

"It's not like that Dhruv i consider you my bestest friend but yk what at that time i want some alone time i hope you understand " i said placing my hand on his hand.

"I very well understand buttercup what you are feeling at that time that's why i didn't budge you but you have to give me a promise that in future if you face any problem or want any help from me then you will definitely tell me, please " he said holding my hands.

I instantly feel butterflies in my stomach,"ofcourse Dhruv i promise".

"Btw Dhruv are you free after office". i asked him.

"Yes after office i am free " he replied.

"Great then let's go somewhere " i replied.

"Hey are you asking me for a date" he teased me with a smile.

"If i say yes wanna go out with me Mr. Malhotra" i asked him with a smirk.

"If that's the case then my answer is yes Miss Riddhima" he replied with a wink

I giggled at his actions "Hey Dhruv i am not asking for a date but in future i definitely ask for it" i replied with a smile.

His felt a little sad hearing my reply but still gave me a big smile, but why did he feel sad, i thought. " Dhruv i am giving you & Nishant sir a treat, please mna mat krna" i hopefully asked him.

"Buttercup i never deny for treat let's go baby" he excitedly said, but what he said make me again feel those butterflies.

"Okay let's meet after office " i stood up from the chair.

"What do you mean let's meet, buttercup lunch time over hone wala h chlo sath mein chlte hai " he also stood up.

"Dhruv i have urgent work as you know ye sab ke chakkar mein mera boht kaam pending bacha hai or mujhe ek theory phasi h jiske liye mujhe Tech department se help chahiye toh mein tumse direct office bd parking lot mein milungi okay then byee " i give him a smile.

At 5:00 P.M.

Let's go Riddhima Nishant sir & Dhruv is waiting for you , i glanced at my watch & pack all my stuffs. I hurriedly run towards parking lot after 10 minutes i reached there but found no one except other employees.

Kidhar reh gye Nishant sir & Dhruv, i tap my heels, after 5 minutes i found Dhruv running towards me, God he looks so handsome, idhe ye run kre rha h tbhi handsome lg rha h, i smile internally.

"Heyy buttercup i am here" he said panting heavily.

"Dhruv are you ok, omg why you have to run like you are running in marathon" i asked giving him a watterbottle .

"You said n we are going out so, i don't want to waste any time that's why i run" he said while drinking water.

A blush crept on my face but i hide it with a smile, i look here & there suddenly a voice startled me.

"Wassup everyone" i turned around and found Nishant sir standing there with a smile.

"Nishant sir you came " i asked

"Kyu nhi aeta aap bulae or hum na ae aisa to hum hai nhi " he replied with a mischievous smile.

"So meine ap dono ko yha iselie bulaya h ki mujhe ap dono ko treat Dena hai please mana mt krna Nishant sir" i asked showing him my puppy eyes.

"Riddhima don't tell me you are giving me this treat because i help you if that's the case i help you because i believe you you never do this type of things " he said.

"I know Nishant sir but you said na we are friends to apko meri ye baat mne padege that's it " i replied

"I am ready but ek shart pe ki ye ek friends outing hai koi thankyou treat nhi " he said

I sighed " okay as you say " i smiled.

He smile " let's go " i give him a hifi.

"Riddhima tum kidhar ja rhi ho meri car idhr hai " he said.

"Wait mein apni billo rani ko leke aeti hoon " i replied with a smile and walk towards my scooty oops sorry billo rani.

He got confused " Hey Dhruv tum aise kyu khde ho jaise tumne bhoot dekh liya ho " i heard Nishant sir said.

I walk towards them with my billo rani. " What happened Dhruv are you ok" i asked him but he didn't reply so, i shaked him little.

He flinch Little" are you ok Dhruv " i again ask him.

"Wo Riddhima i just got little shock " he muttered.

"What shock " i asked.

"Umm Riddhima i always see Nishant sir in cold look but today see him like this makes me shock " he replied.

Hearing his reply i couldn't stop myself to laugh " omg Dhruv are you serious" .

"Seriously Dhruv i am not Abhi i mean i am not Mr.Rathore who didn't smile, just chill Dhruv i am not gonna kill you relax you are also my friend " he said with a smile forwarding his hand for handshake.

Dhruv smile and handshake with him.

"Okay let's go to SUNSHINE CAFE" i said while starting my billo rani.

"But Riddhima where's your Billo Rani i didn't find her ' Nishant sir asked.

Dhruv chuckled " Nishant sir Billo Rani is not any girl its her scooty name " he laughed making Nishant sir eyes widened.

I shot him a glare" What's problem on this, Agr bhide apne scooter k naam sakhram rkh skta h to mein kyu nhi rkh skti" i replied.

" Okay okay i understand I am extremely sorry Billo Rani ji" Nishant sir said between his laughs.

"Ap logko idhr khade hoke hasna hai toh mein akele ja rahi hoon" i glare to them and start my scooty.

"Okay okay sorry " Nishant sir said while holding his ears.

"It's ok let's follow me" i said

"Dhruv come with me , Riddhima let's go " he said while opening the door of the car.

After 30 minutes we reached i parked my billo rani & wait for Dhruv & Nishant sir to come.

They come " let's go" i said & walk inside the cafe.

"Dhruv, Nishant sir you can sit here, i will come in a minute" i said they seated themselves and i left.

" Umm hii Mishti how are you " i asked to the girl.

" Hello Riddhima mam i am good how are you " she replied with a smile.

" Heyy don't call me mam, btw where's your mam " i asked.

"Mam is in kitchen wait a minute i will call her" she replied.

"It's ok you do your work i myself go & meet her " i flash her a smile and walk inside the kitchen.

I found a girl standing there making something i walk towards her without any sound & cover her eyes from behind " Pehchano kon " i said with a smile.

"Or kon hogi jo aise baccho wli harkat kre skti hai ofcourse mere janam se sorry peechle janam se wli bestiee " she turned around and engulf me in a hug.

" Best friend ki ydd aegyi mujhe lga bhul gyi bde log jo hogye h ap " she sarcastically said & hit me.

" Abe yrr Srishti btaya toh tha n boht busy thi bilkul time nhi tha " i said.

"Yes yes you are the most busy person on this planet right " she sarcastically asked.

"Acha chal sorry ab nhi krungi promise " i hold my ears while showing her my best puppy eyes.

"Yrr aisa na kia kr pta hai na mein pighal jti hoon " she said with a smile and embraced me in a tight hug.

" Acha let's go tumhe kise se milwana hai" i said.

" Kon koi hot ladka hai" she excitedly asked.

"Tharki giri tumhara jyega nhi na" i said giving her slight hit on her head.

"Tumse he seekha hai baby ab chalo" she said giving me a push.

We walk towards Nishant sir & Dhruv "guys meet my peechle janam se bestie Srishti, " i said &they look towards us .

"Hello " she replied awkwardly & continuously staring at two mens.

"Yrr Riddhima tune btaya nhi ki tum itne pyaare pyaare logo k sath kaam krti ho " she whispered in my ear.

"Chup kre ja behn wrna tujhe pagal smjhenge jaise tum ghur rhi ho " i whispered back.

I laugh Little " Srishti this is Dhruv my another bestie " i said pointing towards Dhruv.

'Hello Dhruv nice to meet you but Riddhima is my bestie first don't try to snatch her away from me, she's mine" she threatened him while forwarding her hand .

I laugh at her possessiveness.

"Hello Miss Srishti nice to meet you & don't worry she is yours" Dhruv said & give her a big smile.

"Srishti he is Mr. Nishant he is M.D. & personal secretary of Mr. Abhimanyu aka our CEO of company & also my another buddy" i said pointing towards Nishant sir who seems lost in another world.

NISHANT P.O.V.

We entered inside the cafe, the cafe looks beautiful , the cafe walls were white & they were decorated with types of some quotes posters & ferry lights. There's a soft music playing in the background, people were chit chatting i found there's a whole book section & the wall full of customer messages. Nice choice Riddhima i finally know why Abhi found Riddhima unique because indeed she is. Looks like i am in some Italian cafe.

After sitting comfortabley i started using my phone after 5 minutes i hear Riddhima's voice i look towards her & found her standing with a girl.

After seeing her looks like my world stops around only her i can see, her beautiful long hairs waving in air freely & not to forget her greyish eyes makes me want to drown in them.

Her smile makes my heartbeat fast gosh is she real no she is an angel, suddenly Riddhima voice makes me back to real.

"Huh yes what" i muttered.

"Nishant sir are you ok" she worriedly asked.

"Yes I am btw Hello Miss Srishti" i shyly said forwarding my hand.

" Hello Nishant sir nice to meet you" she replied reciprocate the handshake. Gosh her hand looks good with mine, i thought.

"Okay guys you can talk i will back with Sunshine cafe specials" she said & stood up but stop.

"Umm Nishant sir my hand" she awkwardly asked, suddenly i realised i still hold her hand and i immediately left her hand she left while giving me a smile.

I am still embarassed, what does she think me of a creep or some lutcha lafanga, god why are you like this Nishant, i mentally cursed myself.

"Umm Nishant sir i have to ask you a question please reply me honestly" suddenly Riddhima asked.

"Carry on" i replied with a smile.

" Umm if you want gift someone a gift for example if you want to gift Mr. Akdu i mean Mr. Rathore something what you will gift him" she asked.

"Umm good question but i will definitely give him a new watch or chocolates because he love chocolates" i replied with a smile

"Okay wbu sir what you want if someone will want to gift you anything " she asked & i smile

"Riddhima i know why you are suddenly asking me this question but if you are so eager to gift me anything then i will definitely ask you to give me when time come " i said with a smile.

She gets shocked hearing my reply "how you know sir" she asked.

"Riddhima it's Nishant magic" i winked to her.

"But sir what you want" she asked.

"I will definitely tell you when time comes" i said with a smile while looking towards srishti who is instructing something to girl.

After 10 minutes Srishti is back with Mishti who is holding tray.

"Guys sorry for making you wait here's the Sunshine cafe special presents mango shake and
red velvet pastry & for you Riddhima your favourite chocolate pastry " she said while serving.

"Miss Srishti did you make all this " Nishant sir asked

"Yes i made all this but with the help of Mishti " she replied with a smile.

"Srishti baith na yrr khdi h " i asked while tapping a seat beside me.

"Riddhima yrr or bhi cheeze h wo toh le au " she said.

"Aree yrr pehle ye khtm kre le phir le aena baith pehle " i made her sit beside me.

" miss Srishti your cafe is so beautiful and peaceful i love this place" Nishant sir said.

"Thank you Nishant sir " she said with a smile. I pat her head.

" Miss Srishti Nishant sir is right i also started liking this place, btw did you design your cafe on your own " Dhruv asked.

"Yes Mr.Dhruv i design this cafe but but i am not alone in this my bestie is also the one who helped me alot in designing the cafe" she said with a smile.

"Wow buttercup i don't know you have this talent also " Dhruv asked me with a smile.

"Are aisa kuch nhi hai Dhruv just isne suggestion mngi or meine dedi that's it " i replied casually.

"Hold on hold on Dhruv why are you calling Riddhima Buttercup " srishti asked getting confused

"Because she is my buttercup i gave her this nickname " Dhruv said with a big smile which make me instantly blush.

She understands what's going on "ohhhhh" she give me a smirk to which i shot her a glare.

We are talking & laughing Mishti is back with lots of snacks & drinks , Nishant sir exchange number with Srishti & Dhruv also, suddenly we hear a hard & cold voice we turned around and my feet turned froze because we found Mr. Akdu aka Mr. Rathore standing there with his famous cold look hands in his pocket, coming towards us like a lion coming for his prey.

I don't know what happened with this Nishant is he okay suddenly he message me that he have some important work & now he is not attending my calls.

I am in the car coming back from the meeting suddenly car Stops, "what happened Prem uncle is everything alright", i asked him .

"I think tyre got punctured Yuvraj but don't worry i will change " he said

"No need to change call mechanic he will change you have back pain and it's an from your yuvraj " i said sternly.

He nod & call the mechanic, i look outside the window and found most unexpected view My so called secratary aka my dearest friend is gossiping happily with Riddhima, what the fuck they both doing here in cafe & this fucker is saying that he has some personal work, i will kill him definitely.

I immediately walk inside the cafe "So this is your personal work Mr. Nishant" i said, anger dripping from my voice.

They turn around and gets shocked & also everyone present there also get shocked to see me. I found Miss Riddhima completely gets freezed on her place.

"So tell me Mr. Nishant " i sarcastically asked.
