Rishabh opened the door after the doorbell rang.
"Arey aaiye aaiye"He said
"Kaisa hai"Darshan greeted with a hug
"Mast Bhai"
"Arey Darshan...aao aao betho beta"Jayashree
"Khush raho"Pawan said along with Jayashree as he took blessings
Sitting on the couch he looked around
"Are you finding something?"Rishabh asked
"Or maybe...SOMEONE?"Piyushi said with a smile
"(Awkward laugh)Nahi nahi"Darshan
"Waise...aap sab ne decide karke half day liya tha kya?"He asked
"Actually ha"Pawan said
"Bohot dino se sabhi busy the...toh"Rishabh added

"I am sorry...I guess it was your family ti-"
"C'mon...kaisi baate kar rahe ho...you're also family"Pawan interrupted him
Darshan smiled
"Maa call the one for whom he is here "Rishabh said
"Ha..HARSHUUU"Jayashree shouted
"Yeh ladki na kaan me headphones lagake bethti hai"She complained
"Aur kaha lagayegi fir?"Rishabh asked
Piyushi slapped his shoulder
"Darshan tum hi chale jao na upar"She said
"Uh..no no..it's ok-"
"Arey jao...we don't have any problem beta"Pawan said
"Go bhai... seriously"Rishabh
"I don't think usey sunayi dega ab"Piyushi said looking up
"Jao yaar"Rishabh showed him stairs

He hesitated but went as they forced.
Door of her room was open so he knocked..but got no response...Darshan opened the door slightly and saw her lying on the bed under the blanket...her laptop in front of her and earbuds plugged in... windows curtains were closed to block light which made the room a little dark.He felt cold as he entered indicating that AC was turned on...Kinda cozy atmosphere

"o-oh..hi"Harshita sat on the bed taking her buds out
"Actually I knocked..but you were busy..so"He said scratching his neck
"Yeah.. it's fine...come..sit"Harshita said keeping her laptop aside
"Netflix?"He asked sitting on the other side of the bed
"Huh?"
Darshan signalled towards her laptop
"Accha woh...no..not Netflix...just random videos on YouTube"Harshita replied with a shrug
"YouTube pe videos?"he smirked
"Podcasts idiot"She showed him the screen
"Just kidding yaar"he laughed

Both of them went down after chitchatting

Next week:

"We can go some other day!"Harshita said
"6 days are remaining...when do you want to go?a day before your engagement?"Jayashree
"Tch..."She folded her arms being grumpy
"Why don't you want to go today?"Piyushi asked
"My friends ar-"
"Ab toh Aaj hi jayenge... friends se baad me mil le beta"Jayashree said
"But mumma"
"She is right harshu...Ring Lena is important...and one huge work will be done"Piyushi said
"Fine"Harshita said getting up
"I'll inform Rajal ben"Jayashree said
"Ha..I'll tell Rishabh and Papa to directly come there"Piyushi dialed his number
"I'll join you from the office"Harshita said and went
.

"Maa...bhabhi..I am leaving"She said taking her car keys
"Sambhal ke jaana"Piyushi said
"Haaa...byeee"

"A chokrine samji sakto nathi...te sagai mate tayar che..Ani rings lene mate tantrums fenki che"Jayashree said coming behind Piyushi
"Teni nervous hovi joye maa...it's alright..don't worry"Piyushi smiled .
Jayashree nodded with a small smile..and looked out as Harshita drove off
"Chalo...we only have two hours"Piyushi said

Harshita reached her office and started her work...she came out after the meeting was done and waved at Darshan who was with someone in the reception area...He waved back with a smile

She went to her cabin

"Sir,Harshita ?"Darshan asked Naushad
"She went..just now"Naushad said
"Okay..bye"Darshan said

He spotted her staring blankly at the flowers near parking
"Hello miss"Darshan snapped his fingers
"Ah..o-h..h-hii"she got startled
"Why didn't you call me?"He asked
"I thought you left"She replied
"Tumhe chodke thodi jaunga"he winked..Harshita just smiled as a response
"Anything wrong?"Darshan asked
She stared at him for few seconds and nodded as no
"You can tell me"
"Umm..Rings lene hai aaj"she said
"Hmm..toh?"
Harshita sighed and looked away from him
"Are we hurrying? everything will be fine right?"She sounded nervous
Darshan took her hand from the railing and held between his
"It will be fine...and nahi bhi hua..toh we will make it fine..together"He smiled as she looked at him and smiled too.
Harshita took her hand out and hugged him.
Darshan caressed her back
"Don't be so nervous"he said
She nodded
.

"Finally!Kitna late?"Rishabh asked as they entered inside the shop
"Aapki behen"Darshan said
"Sorry.. meeting thi"Harshita said
"Let's not waste time...Harshu beta..rings dekhlo"Rajal said
"Mujhe bhi bolo yaar"Darshan said
"Tu chup reh"Rajal said
"Arey nahi nahi..tum bhi dekho beta"Jayashree said
"Aunty mujhe adopt karlo please"He said
"Then she will be your sister"Piyushi said
"Plan cancel"Darshan said as everyone laughed

"These?"He showed a design to her
"Good..but...they will be too heavy to wear everyday no?"Harshita said
"Haa.. right"he kept them back and started searching again
"Yeh?"Harshita
