Akanksha's PoV

Need to get back to work and ignore him, I don't want any mess here and don't want my brother to know that sidhant is back into my life again..

After the long day of work, I make my way to exit leaving my office laptop 'coz bro I don't want to work at home today atleast.!

My phones rings and oh boy what timing 😭. My brother keeps calling. I mean he calls every day at this time to ask how my day went and it's good but not today. I'm not ready to tell him anything and I can't lie. If I ignore he will keep calling till I pick up or he will just wake everyone at home creating panic..

As I struggle with my thoughts I pick the call
On phone 🤳
"Hey Akash" I try being as normal as possible, why is he silent now did I even pick the call? I cross check and he is still silent

After a long pause he speaks
"Hey bro" bro? He is calling me bro something is about to happen noo

"Bro? Is everything ok why are u calling me bro" can't keep my mouth shut
"Leave all that, guess where I'm now" he says trying to be calm and choosing what to say next?
I don't like where this is going
"Don't tell me you are in London" I'm just praying and hoping that his answer is No
"Noooo" he shouts and I sigh in relief
"Are we going to do the guessing game?, because I'm way tired and have no interest" I have to be honest as much as possible
"Ok fine, I am here in Mumbai, actually was in Mumbai. I have a flight in few hours so will be back home soon anyway." Wait did he just say Mumbai? As in Bombay?
I need to be calm "why are u in Mumbai , I thought you decided never to go back to Mumbai and you even made me come back from Mumbai, you cant back your word after whatever you did" that wasn't anything near calm
" You know why I made that decision and it was good for you" he said remaing calm
"Good? For whom?" My voice isn't calm anymore
"Listen, atleast let me tell you what happened"
I didn't realise I walked towards the station during this whole call, and if I go underground I won't be getting any signal
"I reached station and I won't be able to continue the call, so let me call you back once I'm home, if I don't call back then let it be because I'm in no mood to listen anything after the long day I had" I say this and cut the call without even waiting for his response.

Tapping in and my making my towards the platform, I can't ignore my thoughts when I'm all alone, why akash back to Mumbai now , why sidhant back to my life, what the hell is happening, all this thoughts making me crazy while i spot sidhanth in a corner waiting , nope I don't want to see him, ignore like he doesn't exist.

The hell is this tube late today, for once it can be on time. I didn't even connect to music and it's rush hour again so many people on top of that sidhant is standing there wait where did he go again, I started looking for him. When someone in hurry was about to push me. I thought I would fall but nope just like some romantic movie someone takes pulls me towards them. I closed my eyes and praying that someone isn't sidhanth rajput 🙏.

"Watch out" Sidhanth shouted at the guy and I was like God isn't in favour of me today.
I opened my eyes and tried to distance myself from but he didn't leave me, why is he doing that, but I tried a bit harder and he left me.

"Sorry, Miss.Varma" did he just call me Miss.Varma? That's amazing that he doesn't remember me, makes it less easier for me

"It's ok Mr.Rajput" I distance myself even further and the timing is perfect, my tube comes and I get it ignoring him.

I reach home and fresh up and order some food, didn't have any energy left to even cook. By the time my food arrives I decided to call my brother and spoil my mood further.

On phone 🤳
"Akash, now tell me why did u go to Mumbai" straight to the point
"Amma, I can't keep avoiding Mumbai any further because I have my business to run, so for a conference I had to go" he said it one go.
" Ok, i know there is something more to this and I want you to tell me now"
" So I met Mr.Vikram rajput, u remember him right?" Did he just ask me that, when they are the reason I had to leave sidhant and Mumbai.
" How can I forget?, so you are back to business with him?" Puting my doubts out
"No, will never do that and you know it, I met at the conference lunch and he told about how his kids started a firm and doing great" his voice sounding not so great
" You should have told that I'm well settled in London" I tried to say with pride
" I didn't want to give your information to Rajput's so I ignored him and left from there"
Before I could continue the call my delivery arrived and I ended the call.

One week passed and I successfully ignored him, as Ria informed me the other day that he is here only for a month and will leave early if possible. This news made me the happiest.

I have an important meeting today and my heels decided to eff it up, I took out my new heels and now I'll keep tripping and falling for the whole day till I get adjusted and it will be a feast for my colleagues today and you will know why soon.

I walk as fast I can to the closest meeting room from my cabin so it won't be a problem for to carry the files without tripping.
As soon I open the door I can see a meeting going on and my ignoring streak just broke. I didn't realise the meeting room was occupied by Kieara and Sidhanth. I was about to leave when I heard a voice from the screen.
"Oh my god, is that Akansha ?!!!!" The voice screamed and it echoed in the whole room
I turned to see who does this voice belong and to my bad luck it's none other than Meera Rajput, Sidhant's baby sister.
"Bhai, apne kyun nahi bataya ki Akansha udar london mein he apke saath" she was now talking to her brother and Kieara was confused and I tried to remain silent.
"Wait a minute do you all know each other?" Kieara asked
I made a breif eye contact with sidhanth
"Actually their father was a client to my brother's company and we are just acquaintances that's it" I stated this directly looking at sidhant who was just staring but I could sense a tad bit of sadness in Meera's face.
"Oh?" Kieara was more confused and decided not to say anything further on the topic.
"How much for longer are u going to have this meeting" I asked Kieara because I didn't want to shift the meeting to other room. Kieara just glanced from top to bottom and smiled no wait that not smile she saw my new heels, nope please don't shout please please I was just internally praying but then that's Kieara we are talking she never stays calm
"Oh my my look what day it is today" her voice echoed and guess who was passing through corner and came in.
"Kiera I asked something you answer that or I'm leaving" I was about to leave and bumped to John and tripped a bit before he caught me
"Love, be careful" John stated and I could sense from the corner of my eye a  bit of anger glare from sidanth.
"John, our Akansha is wearing new heels, you know what time it is, get the board out and all the associates" she stated and laughed, only people that were confused are the rajput siblings.
"Umm Kieara?, If I may interupt what is it ?" Meera asked out of curiosity.
"Hello there, whenever akansha wears new heels we have a tradition in office to count how many times she trips , falls or balences herself out, the person with the higest number decides the next place we all party and my love Akansha here has to pay the bill for our drinks." John stated while controlling his laugh.
"Are we done here? And John we are disturbing their meeting, let's leave" I said trying to move out and this time sidhant spoke
"Miss.Varma, if you need this room now, I can happily move I have no problem with that" he said with the most calm tone and I know why he is doing that but I won't let that happen.
"Thank you for the offer Mr.Rajput but we have enough meeting rooms in this building that I can adjust, and I'll let you guys continue with this meeting and sorry for the interruption" I stated and moved out finally before closing the door I heard Kieara call me
"Aks, you are still coming today right, I'm not taking a No this time" she asked looking hopefully.
"Just text me the details and I'll be there but I'll be late I need to go home first" saying that I left from there.

I needed to go out and can't keep with this office mess that's keeps happening. Instead of focusing on Rajput siblings, I decided to focous on my meeting.

Sidhant's PoV

Back in India

I'm packing my bags here, instead of me Meera was supposed to go but then the one stays in India would be accompanying my dad with his conference and after what ever happened few years I stopped going to anything related to his business. And going to London isn't part of my plan at all, but I have this weird feeling, I don't know what will happen.
"Bhai, you can still stay here, I know you don't like going to London" my baby sister voices out her concern.
"It's fine choti, going to London is better idea than attending any of those conferences with Dad." My voice came out way rude than expected.
"Anyways drop me at the airport, I'm getting late and moreover I'll end the work early and come back quickly" I stated that and she nodded.

I am standing outside the office building, the firm I have tied with for international clients, I can't let go of this weird feeling.
I went upstairs and met this lovely woman Ria, she was talking and we entered into a cabin, when Ria called out Akansha, I was shocked to hear the name but was more suprised when I saw her infront of me, she was standing there staring at me with the same shocked face but she controlled herself and started shouting at this poor woman, obviously what I can expect from someone who knows only to leave people without explanation she is still the same heartless person, her brother akash is worst, but looking at her makes me wonder if everything can ever go back to normal. Some other people walk in and one lady apologies on her behalf and I didn't want create any scene and left with that lady.

The same day when I was waiting for my tube I saw her and I thought I could talk to her and given how doesn't like crowds I tried holding her close to me and again she chose to distance herself, if she wants to pretend that she's doesn't know me, than I'll do the same. Calling her Miss.Varma is weird, she is my akansha not some corporate lady.

One week has passed and she chose to ignore me  I see her everyday laughing and smiling with everyone. I wish I was reason for her smile but we know that's never going to happen.
We were in a serious meeting with Kieara and Meera, the client took a break and went offline a for bit when Akansha walked in thinking it was an empty room.
Oh no, I forgot to tell Meera about Akansha, but it's ok I don't think Meera will even remember her. But to my dismay she remembers her and is asking me what should I say? Should I lie? I guess I'll just remain silent. Did she just call us acquaintances? So she let's random people hold her by waist? Hug her ? My thoughts are getting more clouded but I came to reality when that guy called her love. Why hell does he keep calling her love? If I called her that she would kill me on the spot but who am I kidding we are just strangers. 
I could see her struggling with those heels and offered her to give the room but she is an idiot who never listens to me, she said no and left the room but Kieara called her asked about some plans. I zoned out into my thoughts after she left that I didn't realise when the meeting ended and Kieara left the room leaving me all alone.

I walk back into the small space I was given till I work here. But I came out to drink some coffee and I could hear her shouting at someone and this is the first time in this week I have seen her this angry, and it worrying on why she is this angry and I wanted her to calm down but I can't do anything from this distance. I was about to go more near to the room when I heard Ria's voice
"That poor intern, I wish he didn't mess something up or he is in for great fun" she stated out loud
"What do u mean?" I couldn't keep up with my confusion and asked her
"Nothing Mr.Rajput, whenever Akansha lashes out like this it means that they messed up real bad and given how important her important is today, I hope that poor guy is saved from her wrath" she replied and before I could answer she continued "she is usually normal and does her work all the time without burdening anyone but when it comes to serious work and someone messes up, you see her worst side and the amount times these kids have to stay late night and complete the work till she approves no one gets to go home, I hope that doesn't repeat today, as it's Friday and no one wants to work on weekends" she sighed and in order to lighten the mood "Maybe she didn't get her coffee, go give her coffee and she will be fine" I laughed after saying and Ria gave me a look.
"Mr.rajput, it's actually fine for us to joke about her coffee intake and stuff but u don't have that right so next time don't try joking infront of her" with that she left from there.

I went back to work and came out to get other refill of coffee when I saw she was about to trip I almost held her, and she backed off as she my touch made her uncomfortable, that man gets to call her Love but I can't even hold her when she's falling, wonderful.

"Mr.Rajput, never try to touch me again, even if I'm tripping" she was rude. This pissed off even more
"Miss.Varma, I was being kind but I think heartless person like you doesn't deserve that" I sounded even more rude. She's hurt and I can see that.
"If you could move, I have to go the other side, you are in the middle" she said and I couldn't control it anymore.
"Yeah leave, just like you did it last time, but don't worry this time I will be the one leaving you in the middle." I said that and left from there, it didn't make any sense to my heart but my brain is an egoistic person. She left from there  only to hug some guy and is she smiling at him? Now who the hell is this guy.....
