A/n pov:

After two days:

At Neel's office| Neel's cabin:

He was sitting while doing some paperwork when chandar came Inside his cabin.

Chandar: boss...I have a information for you.

Neel: hmm?

Chandar: Mr Khanna is back...

He stops working and looked towards him

Neel: yash Khanna is back?

Chandar: yess, our men got information that he had contacted Mr Jalandhar and I think it's regarding mono project which we are eyeing..

Neel: I won't let him win this time too...

Neel's face was holding a kind of disgust and hatredness for him as if he had some kind unfinished business with him in past...

Time skips~

The man entered inside the shop hoping to meet Gauri but his hopes got shattered when he saw some another florist instead of her...

Nitya greeted him and he spoke

Man: umm excuse me, where is the other florist?

She looked at him in confusion but suddenly realised to whom he was talking about..

Nitya: ohh..you mean gauri...

Man: so her name is gauri...

Beautiful just like her...

Nitya: well gauri doesn't works her anymore..

Man: but two days ago she was attending me..

Nitya: ohhh I see...well the thing is that gauri used to work her but not anymore, that day she was just temporarily attending the customers since I had some buisness to do

Man: umm can you tell me where she live?

Nitya: sorry sir but I'm not obliged to share my colleague's details...

Man: oh Okay....thanks anyways...

Nitya nodded and that man came out while sighing in frustration, disappointment was clearly visible on his face..

He remembered her words and a smirk appeared on her face

Gauri: you know where to find me..

He smiled and spoke

Man: of course I'll find you...

Currently Neel was in meeting with Mr agnihotri and Mr jalanadhr

Jalandhar: that's great Mr sehgal but I cannot promise that I'll collaborate with you

Neel: no worries Mr Jalandhar, whatever your decision will be, we'll accept it

He smiled and Mr jalanadhar spoke

Jalandhar: btw I'm hosting my 10th aniversary party this Friday...

Neel: oh congratulations for it

Jalandhar: thanks and I would like to you to attend the party...

Neel: sure why not...

Jalandhar: and it would be better if your wife will accompany you since my wife wants to see couples in the party more...

Neel: *smiles* okay sure

Jalandhar: sure

Gauri was sitting on her bed while talking with her mother...

Gauri: btw maa you are taking good care of yourself right??

Swaparna: of course dear, I'm taking care of myself. Don't worry, your mother is rough and tough.

Gauri giggles and replies

Gauri: yeah you are

Swaparna: anyways tell me how is everything going between you and Neel?? You are happy right??

Swaparna: yes mom, he is taking care of me

Swaparna: that's good to hear, I hope your relationship goes stronger day by day...

Suddenly gauri remembered about Neel's past which is yet to know to her..

Swaparna: gauri??

Gauri: yes maa..

She came out from her thoughts

Swaparna: you sounds as you were lost...

Gauri: no maa..it's just... nothing...

Swaparna: you know you can share with me anything right?

Gauri: yeah I know, I really have nothing to share...or yet

Swaparna: very well then

Suddenly gauri heard Neel's voice so she spoke

Gauri: maa I think Mr Sehgal is here...

Swaparna: oh my dear, call him Neel..why still formal?

Gauri: maa I can't... I mean calling him Neel would just sounds umm like...i don't know how to say but...i prefer Mr sehgal...

Swaparna: okay okay I got it...but try once calling him Neel once, I'm sure you'll get used to it

Gauri: okay maa, I'll call you later

Swaparna: okay beta

Gauri hung up the call and shove her face in the pillow in embarassment

Time skips~

Gauri was doing her night routine while Neel was doing his work on his tablet. He casually looked towards Gauri who was tieing her hair in bun while her neck was visible which made him gulped

He averted his gaze and gauri turned towards him while getting up from her seat

Gauri: Mr sehgal you should sleep now..

Neel coughed and replied

Neel: I will, btw gauri...

Gauri: hmm?

She replied while making their bed

Neel: there is aniversary party of my on client Saturday and the owner want both of us to attend the party..so do you...?

Gauri: okay no worries, I'll go with you

Neel: are you sure?

Gauri: yess why not, he invited both of us then we should definitely go together plus he is your one of the client, we shouldn't disappoint him right?

Neel: umm yeah right...

Gauri smiled and spoke

Gauri: okay then

A smile appeared on Neel's face as he looked towards Gauri and he thought

Neel: I wish I had meet you two years ago...
