Manvi's POV

The next day, I attended the second day of the conference. Aarav gave the speech and I was staring at him. In between, he cracked some jokes and everyone laughed. I glanced at him, he winked at me.

I sighed... he will never change. The conference ended with people appreciating his nature and behaviour.

He taunted "sir.. Ab mujhe hasi mazak toh karna hoga na warna khadoos MD ho toh life boring ho jaati hai"

I shot a deadly glare at him..

"Miss Manvi Shekhawat.. Your partner has a really good sense of humour ye deal aapki hai.." the client informed.

I was overwhelmed hearing it, I shook hand with him "Thank you Sir.."

He moved out of the conference room leaving me with Aarav.

He stood in front of me and smiled "ek Thank you mujhe bhi.."

"No.." I replied firmly.

"Aapke 2 thank you aur ek sorry udhar hai mujhpe" he said, reminding me.

I gave him a look and he elaborated further "haa.. Sorry mujhe sach jaane bina terminate karne ke liye..pehla thank you kal aapko bachane ke liye aur aaj aapki deal final karwane ke liye"

I spoke scarastically "koi bada kaam nhi kiya hai tumne ye part of job hai samjhe"

"Offo.. aap bhi na.. Chaliye chodiye par hum celebrate toh kar sakte hai na? Aaj sham ek dinner karke?" he asked.

I denied "no.."

He smiled at me.. "Shamko 7 baje aapka wait karunga main aur aap aayengi mujhe bharosa hai" he said and walked out of the conference room.

I shouted "I am not coming.."

But he just kept on moving, ignoring me. I sighed deeply..

I walked back into the room and called Ruhana informing her about getting the deal.

"Ye toh bahut achi baat hai mannu.. Toh kal wapas aa rahi ho tum?" she asked.

"Nahi Di.. kuch formalities puri karni hai" I informed.

"Haan thik hai... par itna low kyun sound kar rahi hai?? Celebrate it na" she suggested.

"Di.. you know I don't like.. Celebrate karna kya hai just a deal it is" I informed.

"Tujhe samjhana matlab deewar pe sar maarna jaisa ho gaya hai mere liye" she spoke a bit angrily.

I sighed... "Di.."

"Sach bol rahi hun.." she informed. I ended the call abruptly as I don't want to hear further.

She called back and scolded me "don't behave like this.."

"sorry di.." I apologize

"that's better.." she said, after sometime I ended the call.

I received a message "waiting..."

I sighed and closed my eyes thinking what to do. It was 8 pm by now, he might have gone by now. Just then there was a knock at the door, I went and opened the door.

He was a waiter, I asked "kya hua??"

"Mam.. wo neeche aapke liye koi wait kar rahe hai unhone ye bheja hai aapke liye" he informed.

I took the box from him and closed the door. I opened it and there was a note..

"Aa jayie.. Warna raat bhar wait karta rahunga main.."

I sighed deeply, why is he so stubborn?

Aarav's POV

I was waiting for her at the hotel restaurant for an hour. She has not turned up, if she is adamant then I am stubborn too. She has to come for dinner and I had faith, she will come.

Finally, my wait came to an end, she was approaching my table. A smile appeared on my face. She sat in front of and passed a deadly look.

"Mat samajhna tumhari wajah se aayi hun.." she spoke.

I nodded in yes.. "Par aap aaye toh na.." I replied.

I ordered the food, and we had dinner. Just then the manager came and informed "sir mam.. There is our hotel anniversary celebration please join us"

She denied.. "I am not interested.."

"Mam please.."

I smiled, I stood up and held her hand and started to take her to the hall. She shouted "Aarav leave me.."

"Nahi.. aap aasani se toh maanti hai nahi.. Toh mujhe ab aise hi aapko leke jaana hoga" I said fearlessly.

We entered the hall and I left her hand. She glared at me, she wanted to scold me, taunt me but I know she can't. Because there are lots of people in the hall, to my luck few delegates were also in the celebrations.

Manvi's expressions showed she was helpless to be in celebration. I was the happiest person on earth now.

The song played and the couples were dancing, I said "dance karengi?"

She gave me an annoyed look.

"Kaise karengi? Aapko toh bas gussa karne ke alawa kuch aata hi nahi hai" I said making a face.

She sighed, I knew well she hated when someone underestimates her talent. Thanks to Khushi, she gave me ideas.

"Dost... khadoos aunty aap taunt karo har baat pe.. Phir dekhna kaise wo sab karti hai jo aap chahte ho"

I smiled..

"Mujhe dance aata hai samjhe" she said.

"Main nahi maanta.. Aap toh bas orders dena janti ho.. Aur mujhe daanta.. Dance karna impossible" I spoke intentionally.

She was angered hearing it, she stood up and pulled me to the dance floor. My eyes widened with her move, she asked me to keep my hand on her waist. I smiled.. "Haan phir aap mujhe maaro"

She gave me a look and I kept my hand on her waist. I stared into her eyes and we twirled on the music.

Everyone clapped seeing us dance, she left me and walked out of the hall. I followed her, she was in the garden of the hotel.

"Mam... suniye.."

"Dekho Aarav.. Mujhe pata hai tum kya karne ki koshish kar rahe ho.. Par please stay away from me" she said angrily.

"Kyun?? Main bas chahta hun aap haso.. Zindagi ko jeeyo itna nahi kar sakti hai kya aap?" I questioned her.

"Why?? Kyun chahte ho tum? Lagte kya ho mere? Ye sab mere liye nahi hai samjhe tum" she shouted.

I smiled, it started to rain. She turned to leave but I held her wrist and pulled her back. She glanced at me, I looked into her eyes.

"Hatha dijiye ye jhoot ka chehra.. Hamesha iss khadoos ladki ke peeche maine masoom ladki dekhi hai jo hasna chahti hai.." I said..

She denied, I smiled..

There was a pin drop silence between us, the water was dropping on our bodies. Suddenly, the lightning sound made her shiver and she hugged me tightly. I wrapped my hands around her back. She looked up at me, I just could not stop myself and kissed her lips. I was left surprised when she responded back.

I touched her waist and she stepped back, she was staring at me silently in embarrassment. I came closer to her and whispered in her ear "kisiko nahi bataunga aapne mujhe kiss kiya" and left from there with a smile.

Manvi's POV

I was just left shocked, how I let him kiss me and I responded back too. I glanced at him, he was playing in the water by jumping in the water mud and I smiled seeing the scenario.

There was a smile on my face, the next moment I saw him in front of me and I hid my smile.

"Aap muskurayi.." he said.

"Nahi.." I denied..

"Sach maan lijiye mam.. Chalyie kamse kam ek smile toh aayi aapke chehre par aur sach bolo ye aapko aur bhi khubsurat bana deti hai" he praised me.

What was happening to me? Why I am not scolding him for flirting with me. He held my arm and took me to the water mud. He asked me to jump and enjoy but I denied..

"Please.. Kijiye na.. Maza aayega" he said.

I closed my eyes and then jumped. I started enjoying it, he then sprinkled water on my face and laughed.

I gave him a look and sprinkled back the water.

He spoke "bhool jayie koi aapko dekh raha hai.. Sirf aap akeli ho yahan"

I was lost in her words, it started to rain more heavily. He opened his arms and closed his eyes, enjoying it.

I tried the same, a smile appeared on my face. I heard his sneeze and opened my eyes.

"Isse pehle mujhe bhi cheekh aa jaye hum andar chalte hai" I said.

He nodded and we walked into the hotel fully drenched in water. I had lost my room key somewhere and no one was at the reception as everyone was busy at the party. I sighed as there was no option left and went to his room with him.

He took out his shirt and trousers "aap ye pehen lijiye" he said handing it to me.

I held it and went into the bathroom. I stood under the shower and closed my eyes, I saw him in front of me. A smile appeared on my lips recalling his words.

"Ye smile aapko aur khubsurat bana deti hai"
