They both got seated in the car, on the way back to their hotel, things were changing between them, it went as a silent ride, but this time it wasn't awkward, they stole glances of each other, they have found their comfort..

Ab to teri to khamoshiya bhi sukoon deti h

Anokhi looked at Shaurya

Anokhi : Ek sawal puchu

Shaurya : Mai na kahunga to nahi puchogi?

She averted her sight and start looking in front

"Maybe"

"Acha, Ask!"

"Why you hate me?"

Unexpected, yes, don't know why I asked that.., it just came out..

Shaurya frowned at her and cross questioned

"Why do you feel so?"

We were quite considerate today with each other, yes i scolded her, but apologised for that too, where did this question came from? Shaurya thought

Fidgeting with her fingers

"It's not about today.... From the day i joined TSF you've been behaving so differently with me..
Is it just because of your equation with Aastha mam or I'm not worthy enough for your film?"

She was doubting her worth, her talent, does my words went that harsh?

"In these months, mujhe itna to samajh aa gya h ki aap insan ache h, par mere sath..."

She was struggling to find words

"Aap jese aaj mere sath the, vese humesha kyu nhi reh sakte..?"

Her words fell short and voice became heavy somehow she controlled breaking down

Guilt was all over his face, he was disappointed with himself, in his career of these many years he has always motivated, guide and mentored all the new commers, but today things went totally opposite
He can do anything but can't cheat with his profession

Shaurya stopped the car with a jerk, breaking Anokhi's chain of thoughts

Shaurya : You know what, Let's start afresh!

"Hi Anokhi, I'm Shaurya"

"Sir...-"

"Shaurya, only Shaurya"

"Huh? Aap thik to h!?"

"Arey abhi toh you asked ki aap humesha ese hi kyu nhi reh sakte.. so I'm trying ab agar tumhe nhi.."

"Nhi nhi I'm in..."

"Hi, Anokhi..."

Still clouded with confusion but decided to give it a chance , Actually this idea was not that bad, she smiled and forwarded her hand for a handshake

Shaurya felt relieved seeing her smile

Still one question was unknown to her.. why his behaviour affects her that much?
