Chapter 20: Chapter 20

Shanaya Oberoi

I was having lunch in the canteen when Ayan and Myra joined.

"Shana, It feels like it is been years I haven't talked to you to my heart's content." Myra said pouting.

"I know! By the way, how is your progress with mission convince Dad?" I asked her wiggling my brows.

I talked to Daksh about it and he was absolutely frustrated because that man is a hard nut to crack.

"Daksh is frustrated as hell! But then Dad came and talked about him a few times with us. So I take it as a positive sign." She said smiling.

Just then my phone started ringing and I looked at the caller ID shocked.

Him & calling me?

"Hello." I answered.

"Where are you?" He asked. He was clearly stressed about something.

"In the canteen." I said.

"I need to talk to you. Call me when you get home." He said and hung up.

Rude much!

"Am I dreaming? Or is it really Aarav bhai calling you?" Ayan said with dreamy eyes.

"Stop right there! He said he has to talk to me about something important." I said shrugging.

"Yeah! Everything starts like this only." Myra said teasing me.

What's wrong with them?

"Are you guys out of your minds? You are shipping me with Aarav? Seriously? I can't even imagine him getting into a relationship." I said rolling my eyes.

"Why not? He is just too diffrent when it comes to you." Ayan said shrugging.

"I am out of this conversation! Bye." I said and left for the department.

I haven't seen him for like a week. He didn't visit the college and well why would I meet him anywhere else. So today when he called I kind of felt a bit happy.

Just a bit!

I called him when I was getting out of the hospital.

But then I saw him standing near his car leaning on it and I cancelled the call.

I went towards him slowly and I screamed in his ears.

"Bhooooo!"

Guess what did he do?

He fucking rolled his eyes at me!

Freaking rock!

"Worst than a rock!" I said huffing.

"You are worse than a kid!" He said and turned around.

I scowled at him.

"You're lucky. I came by a cab today. Now you get to have this precious company of mine on our way home." I said grinning.

"Please save me!" He muttered and then opened the passenger seat for me.

"What was it that you wanted to talk about?" I asked him munching on the choclate bar he just handed me.

"And where were you all this week?" I asked him.

"Will you let me breathe? Throwing questions at my way." He said annoyed.

"You asked for it. So yeah! Deal with it." I said shrugging munching on my choclate.

"How many times did I tell you to maintain a healthy diet?" He asked me irritated.

"Dude! I even had my lunch today." I said trying to not look at him.

He started the car and said

"Do you think I don't know how you almost fainted on the stairs?" He asked me still in his annoyed tone.

"What? Are you like stalking me?" I asked him narrowing my eyes.

"No. I was talking to Ayan when that happened and he hung up on me. But that's not the point!" He said still annoyed.

"It was nothing! I am fine sitting beside you,see!" I said pointing towards me with my index finger with a wide grin on my face.

And he just shook his head.

Maybe it was the when-is-she-going-to-grow-up shake.

"How was your day?" I asked him and he looked at me wide eyed.

"What? Why are you behaving as if I've asked you murder someone?" I asked him confused.

"Ohh nothing. My day it was umm— fine, yeah fine." He replied.

"Just fine? Why?" I asked confused.

"What else is it supposed to be? It was like every other day. Patients, surgeries and the same old stuff." He said shrugging.

"You mean to say that your everyday is this boring? Just fine?" I asked poking his bicep.

"Yeah. Do you think I have anything interesting in my life?" He asked with a bored expression.

"You are a neurosurgeon. Not just a neurosurgeon, you are one of the top ones in the whole city. And you think you have nothing interesting?" I asked.

"I never wanted to be a doctor. It was just family pressure because Ahana being the stubborn one refused to get into medical field." He said sighing.

"Then you could've done what you are passionate about." I said to him.

"It is not that easy. I was passionate about something which was out of the line for my father.Being the only son I had to take responsibilties, so here I am."

He said maintaining the same poker face but today I could make out he was hiding so many emotions in those blank eyes of his.

"But that doesn't mean I don't love what I do. Of course I love it and I've worked hard for it." He said with a smile.

"By the way what was it that you were passionate about? Being a hitler boss, eh?" I said with a grin and smacked his arm playfully to lift up his mood.

"You talk too much! Can we get to the main issue now?" He asked not even sparing me a glance.

"Yeah! What was it?" I asked and he stopped his car.

I turned towards the window to see he stopped it before a cafe.

"What are we doing over here?" I asked him confused.

"I told you I wanted to talk  to you." He said removing his seatbelt.

And boy he looked hot while doing that!

No normal girl with hormones can ever decline the fact that Aarav Kapoor is just simply hawwt.

"I thought we were going to talk at home. And I would get to eat your handmade food." I said whining.

He just chuckled and said

"Don't whine I'll make dinner for you. For now let's settle on this cafe."

I got down on my own because ofcourse we can't expect Aarav to be a gentleman and open the door for me.

Can we?

He lead me towards a table which was beside the window.

"So, is this a date?" I asked him and he just choked on his own spit for a second.

He just sat there beside me with his jaw hung open and eyes wide.

And I must say

He looks cute!

I started laughing and said

"I am joking. Calm down."

He again rolled his eyes at me.

"By the way, you look cute." I said pinching his cheek.

He just swatted my hands away and glared at me.

"I like to irritate you a lot!" I said smiling ear to ear.

And there was this very micro smile on his face which he was trying to hide but ofcourse his beautiful dimples were visible.

And damn!

I would be lying if I say they don't affect me.

"Will you let me talk? Or are you going to continue this?" He said trying to glare at me.

Keyword- trying.

Because he was trying hard to hide his smile.

"Ohh come on! Just smile, now. I won't fine you for smiling." I said and he smiled and shook his head.

Finally a smile!

"Satisfied? Now will you let me talk?" He asked still smiling.

"Yess! Now we can talk." I said plopping my elbows on the table and holding my face in my palms.
