Later, they both fresh up and Piya wears the dress which Aryansh gave  as a valentine gift. Her dress becomes a mess due to their earlier activity so she is more than happy to receive the gift.

Piya sits on the sofa whereas Aryansh lays his head on her lap and plays with her fingers. She remembers the word which Aryansh used some time back in the bedroom.

Why "Jaana"?

Hmm, aren't you my sweetheart? Don't you like that ?

She kisses his forehead while seeing the frown on his charming face and says.

I love it and you have a foreign accent to your tongue so it sounds more sweet. Did you stay abroad?

On her question, his mind gets alert and to divert the topic, he stands and passively replies.

Yeah a few years back for education. Do you want to go back now?

Aryansh points towards the wall clock which alarms her as the time is 2:00 AM.

He drives her home which is 45 minutes away from his apartment. She leans her head on his shoulder while he clasps her palm with his and keeps it on the gear. They reach her place and Aryansh take her in a deep kiss before letting her leave the car.

**********************

The weekend went and Piya spent time with her family and her friends as Khushboo's marriage date is coming closer. Aryansh is busy in an upcoming project for which he might have to travel out of the station.

They both get time at the night to talk on phone calls. Aryansh shared how his day went and how his family was trying to spy while recollecting about the evening incident.

Aryansh was checking emails on the phone while having the evening coffee. His father was watching the business news and observed his Son's dedication on the phone so he randomly asked him the most unexpected question among everyone.

How's your girlfriend, Son?

Good

Which one?

Ajay Shekhawat surprisingly received two responses on the question which sent the whole family in hyper mode especially his Dad, Digvijay Shekhawat.

"You have a girlfriend?" Digvijay Shekhawat asked looking towards the Aryansh and turned his face towards the Atharv with narrowed eyes and asked "you have girlfriends?"

Atharv gulped the saliva in fear whereas Aryansh remained cool though his mind was cursing him.

Yes, Grandpa. I have a girlfriend and you already met her, showing his phone.

What's that? Phone?

My work. I love my work and Dad was pulling my leg.

Others laughed on Aryansh's answer except the Ajay who gave a "well-played son" look to which Aryansh gave him a bow saying "thanks" 

Now you tell us Atharv, his mother, Sunaina Shekhawat asked.

Atharv took inspiration from his elder brother and immediately pulled books from the bag and put them in front of the family.

My girlfriends. I love my books and they are the love of my life.

Piya laughs on hearing the whole story whereas Aryansh feels peace with her but soon that peace will vanish as he missed to mention an important thing.

************************

Monday

Aryansh reaches the office a bit early due to a meeting with a good mood but his temper increases when he comes to know that no one bothers to tell him that the meeting was cancelled by Gupta Group for the second time without any valid reason. 

Simran gets afraid of his anger and immediately asks Ram for the help. Ram requests his boss to talk with his son.

Ajay gets worried about hearing his Son's mood in the morning because from the past week, he looks very happy. He is also aware of the reason for his happiness so when he sees Piya taking her desk, he tells her to come with him.

Piya gets confused when the CEO asked her to come along for an important work but didn't tell where. She realized on seeing that they are going to her boyfriend's cabin.

Ajay enters the cabin without any knock. Aryansh who is reading the file with a furious face gets calm down on seeing them.

Dad

Yes, my dear Son, with an overly sweet voice

What are you doing here and why P.. I mean Miss. Sharma is here?

It came to my attention that you are angry and raising hell on everyone (on which Piya raises her eyes in shock) especially on Mrs. Kaur (Piya narrows her eyes on him).

Aryansh is more interested in watching Piya's expressions than hearing his father's words but gets afraid of seeing her face on the last line.

Dad

Yes Son

For that you came here along with Miss. Sharma ?

Yes

Aryansh understood what his father was doing as it seems that he knows about Piya and him.

Ajay leaves the cabin and Piya doesn't know what she needs to do here so she turns to leave but he stops her.

Miss. Sharma

Aryansh comes and locks the cabin before taking her for a kiss without any warning . Shock would be the last emotion Piya feels because the feeling of getting caught frightens her. She tries to stop him but his strong hold doesn't give her a chance.

Stop struggling Jaana

He breaks the  kiss and tells her.

Someone will see

I lock the cabin

But......

Before she can protest further he takes her again for a kiss and this time he didn't face any struggle from her end. He leaves her after sometime. She pushes him and runs away without giving him a chance to speak or do anything. The rest of the day goes in work and in between Aryansh messages Piya to come to his cabin who daringly denied his request.

************************

Next Day Morning

Piya neither receives any message from Aryansh nor sees him in the office. She ponders upon his disappearance and tries to call him but his phone is not reachable. She thought to ask Atharv on Insta but that didn't feel right.

Now she is angry, sad, and worried so she starts sending him messages.

Where are you?

Are you okay?

Aryansh, busy?

Please reply once you see the messages.

Miss you!

By the end of the day she somehow comes to know through the gossip with Simran that Mr. Aryansh Shekhawat is out of the town due to work related issues. She smiles on Simran's answer but inside sharpens her claws and decides to teach him a lesson.

She receives a reply to her messages from Aryansh the next day saying "Been busy with work Jaana, will talk to you soon" and she replies "Ok". Aryansh didn't think much of her message.

He comes to the office on Thursday and the first thing he does is to check on Piya but gets struck with the another board meeting which lasts till late afternoon.

Later, he goes to the floor and finds the desk empty. He calls Ram and asks about Piya who replies that Piya is working from home.

The next day also went without any talk between the couple except busy and okay messages. He asks her if she is free on Saturday or Sunday.

She replies that she will be meeting her friends and has some personal works to finish. Aryansh makes the face seeing her rude and straight forward replies.

Can't she make some time for him in her busy schedule? Then it clicked him how he forgot to inform her about the sudden trip. Also, he didn't reply to her messages till the next day.

Are you angry with me Jaana? he message her

Piya who is busy folding her clothes sees a message notification on the phone from him. She reads the message and replies.

NO

Means Yes?

Why would I be angry? Do I have any reason to get angry?

Jaana, sorry

For?

For not telling you about the trip?

And?

For not replying to your messages. I was busy with work so didn't get time to talk to anyone.

I understand Aryansh you will be busy. Your position demands a lot of responsibilities but can't I expect a simple reply about your whereabouts. Do you know what I went through seeing no response from you?

Aryansh understands she is hurt and feels guilty.

I promise jaana, I will always reply to your messages from now onwards.

Don't do the promises Aryansh which you can't keep.

I will keep my promise Jaana.

Time will tell how much he will keep this promise especially when she breaks and looks out for him. Will this promise sustain or fall in the ocean of "Promises are meant to be broken"

Hmmm

He calls her and this time she picks the call.

Sorry Jaana

Don't do this next time.

Okay

I missed you, Aryansh

Missed you too Jaana. Are you free this weekend ?

NO

She forgives him but still his punishment stands which is he can't meet her in the weekend.

Please Jaana

Nope, you enjoy your weekend with the work and I will enjoy mine with friends.

Jaana (Sweetheart)

Bye Aryansh and Good Night

Piya cuts the call and giggles whereas Aryansh yells in the room in anger. He tries calling her but there is no response. He realises that this weekend will be the most boring and dull weekend of his life.

***********************

Piya and her girl gang (Rati, Shruti & Misha) went shopping to buy bridesmaid dresses and jewelry. They selected indo-western dresses in a similar shade of pink. Shopping took the whole day and later in the evening they went to the club as Misha wanted to visit the place where Piya went on new year. Manish (Rati's boyfriend) also joins them as he will be dropping the girls home at night.

They are tired but not that much to miss the beats on the floor. Piya is dancing in her own land unaware that someone is admiring her from far and also cursing her for coming here without him.

Hope you all enjoyed this chapter.
