Episode 2: Sautan!

ISHVAY'S POV

Aarvaksha Enterprises (The enterprises of Ishvay)

"Waah bhai...yeh to mujhe pata hi tha ki tu ek na ek din meri sautan dhundega hi, par itni jaldi? Yeh tujhse umeed nhi thi... Mere dost", I said in one go in full dramatic tone.

[Wow… I always knew this day would come, that you’d find me a rival. But this soon? I truly never expected this from you, my friend.]

Dhruv's lips twitched slightly "Chal side ho, lift aa gyi hai ", he said while entering the lift.

[Move aside. The lift is here]

"Mai sab janta hu, you are trying to change the topic, Right!", I teased him.

[I know everything you are just trying to change the topic, Right!]

"Okay okay, please don't eat my brain", he said and shook his head a little. "I will show you her photo, not now but after meeting"  A small smile playing on his lips.

"Chal Mera to fir bhi sahi hai, I will adjust and try to share you with her. But you think Riya is gonna let you marry someone else that easily?", I said making him pause, his smile losing its spark.

[Okay I will adjust and will try to share you with 'someone else' but you really think Riya will let you marry someone else that easily?]

"Why would she?" He said and even he knows how much of Riya loves him. "And care about yourself 'Mr. Solanki' not others"

I looked at him puzzled.

"Riya ki cousin ne agar tujhe kisi ladki ke sath bhi dekha na mar dalegi us bichari ko", he said making me roll my eyes.

[And you should worry about yourself, not me. If Riya’s cousin even sees you with another girl, she’ll end up killing that poor soul]

Kyu mai kya use virasat m mila hua Dhan hu? Ki koi or le nhi sakta?", I Said with a small pout which made him laugh.

[Why? Am I some inherited property of hers that no one else is allowed to have me?]

I Shrugged, "You really think I care about that  'Chipkali'?"

[Do you really think I care about that ‘lizard’?]

"You think I care about the big chipkali then?", He replied in his cocky tone.

The lift opened with a 'ting' at the same time and we started to move out of it.

"Of course not, but I would love to see the look on her face", I said dreamily, "Jab ye baat use pata chalegi na mujhe bula Li mai bhi dekhunga" I said laughingly.

[When she gets to know about this, don’t forget to call me, I want front-row seats]

Dhruv gave me a look.

"And anyways she doesn't know that you are already booked... By me", I said laughing between my words and he was laughing just the same as me.

"Abey Chu-", he has to stop before speaking any more non-sense.

[You As—]

A few businessmen were standing in front of us talking with each other.

They noticed us and stopped in their place.

They shook hands with me and then Dhruv's, "Hello Mr. Solanki. Hello Mr. Kapoor" they said in unison.

We just gave a nod and said, "Hello".

We all headed into the meeting room together and took our seats.

I sat in the CEO's seat and Dhruv sat beside me.

One of the employees stood from his seat and walked ahead with confident strides, with a little bow he started introducing himself and then shifted on the topic without wasting time. 

The presentation felt boring.

I looked around at everyone, the way they all wore clean and perfect air dried suits despite whatever they really are beneath that personality.

I moved my head towards Dhruv, he looked towards me at the same time.

Perfect timing.

"Bro, show me her photo", I whispered leaning towards him.

He did the same "Later", he said and shifted his focus ahead, the presentation is no better than a boring lecture though it's effective.

I coughed a little, "Ahem-" as I was clearing my throat, all eyes turned towards my side even the young man giving presentation stopped for a few moments.

I just looked at them with 'What are you looking at? Focus ahead' eyes.

Their gaze lifted from me and shifted ahead towards the panel.

"Photos~", I repeated slowly.

He looked at me with 'You are impossible' eyes, he must have wanted to hit me, completely defeated. But instead he passed me his phone.

The phone lock opened as soon as it took my face, I opened his gallery.

This man wouldn't have any photos of women, he is different from me. He doesn't change girlfriends like me literally everyday. He is not a womanizer.

I clicked on the photo, my brows arched upwards and a small pout appeared on my lips "Aarvi" Dhruv whispered telling me her name with a cocky grin on his face.

"My rival, huh?", I mumbled under my breath.

If this girl is good, nice and loyal then I am seriously happy for him, despite his tone or behaviour he is kind, unlike me.

But Still I wish she wouldn't come between me and bro as a wall. Hmph.

After what felt like eternity, finally the lectur—I mean the meeting came to an end.

I looked at my wrist watch "6:09 p.m." it read.

Everyone stood to pick their stuff and left the room, while those few men present started approaching me and asked for dinner to brag to others about it, beneath the, "Let's discuss this plan".

I looked at Dhruv he was already looking at me and After their being so persistent.

I sighed internally and nodded.

We all headed downstairs and I bid goodbye to Dhruv.

Unknown from the fact that after this dinner nothing will be the same.
