"Sorry to make you wait so long.... actually a client from UK has come to visit our place..." Walking in, then taking his seat Neil spoke in a single breath and Aravi's meticulous gaze followed his every movement.

Riddhi his PA served Aravi a glass of cool vanila shake. She very well know Avni and Aravi is like family to Khannas. There wasn't any instructions required from his employer Neil, to get Aravi in his cabin and take care of her personally when her boss isn't around. So she let Aravi comfortable in a couch and also didn't forget to offer her some refreshment.

Her hand stood still before her lips causiously moved to the glass to take another sip from that vanila shake.

"You didn't keep me hold on too long" gulping down the smooth liquid she replied with a small smile. And he returned a wide one.

It was just next to impossible for Aravi to have a talk with Neil in both their houses without any audience around. Therefore this morning before she was dropped in her sasural Aravi had decided to meet Neil in his office. Before stepping out of the house she didn't forget to let Neil know over a short call, that she would see him at office if he will be available at the said timing..

And then she left her house around 11a.m.

"So?" saying Neil clasped his both hands over the table in front of him and leaned forward in a manner his entire attention on Aravi.

He waited for her sudden emerge in his office, at this hour. When Aravi called him he furrowed in consternation but it was instantly, brusquely pushed aside by his head when he reminded his tight schedule of the day. And he focus was back to his rendezvous lined up next.

Aravi took a deep breath, quitely put the glass down off her hand on the short coffee table at the centre. Her demeanor stark intense, as if someone inwardly preparing oneself to start some consequential discussion. His vaguely crinkled eyes followed her actions.

"It's about Ayan" she dropped the bomb and immediately his face faded the smile it was there on his lips, instead it grew serious. From the distance Aravi was, she saw his shoulder squared up being shrewd. The name she took turned his whole form taut, his face tightened in way someone in disdain. And she remained poised.

"Trust me Neil you don't have to feel insecure regarding anything about Ayan" her diligent words were. She watched his hands clasping hardened.

"I know" his arctic tone caused Aravi flexed her facial muscle in search of a stupendous reply.

"Then why do you act this awful around him? You go weirdly on acute silent mode whenever he is around or by any chance any of us take his name in between our conversation lately" she rebuked.

"I don't" he spat mildly with his same cold tone and looked everywhere but her. Unclashping his hands he pulled a file near him, pretended to retrieve his work but failed. Neil closed his eyes shut to circumvent her words away his mind.

"Would you stop with your those hogwash mono syllabic replies? Or you want me to bang your head on that concrete at the back of you?" Aravi condemned. Her accusative words brought his eyes abruptly opened and his morose gaze darted, recoiled Aravi on the spot she was across him.

"Look Neil the vagaries of your behaviour is itself a prove that something is up with you" Aravi was no way ready to yielding up so easily. She crossed her arms and he heaved a sigh of vexation under her badger before he spoke.

"Nothing is there to talk about" His flippant reply, impudence, annoyed her but she let it pass focussing onto more getting it to fix.

"Don't you have trust on Avni or there is some other issues you are not spilling out right now. Tell me so that I can help you out with this misery of yours" she said. At the mention of that name Avni he shot her a glare then looked away.
