Sometimes being soulmates is not enough, there are many inner and outer battles one has to fight. Sometimes for ourselves, sometimes for the ones we love the most..
This tale is of how Anuj & Anupama make their way to each other or they will conclud...
Anuj was in a meeting and checking his files when Anupama entered after a subtle knock. He looked at her and gave a smile with a nod, pointing to indicate that he was on a call.

She felt shy meeting his gaze. A pink hue had taken permanent residence on her cheeks, camouflaging her with her pink saree.
Anuj cleared his throat after the call: Anu, acchi lag rahi ho...
Anupama turned red: Thenkew...
Anuj coughed again: Anu wo... phir wo party ka confirm rakhna... jaana matt... main hi lene aayunga...
Anupama nodded at first, but then, remembering the last time, she hesitantly asked: Anuj... ek cheez puchu...
Anuj interrupted. He placed his palms on the table, looking dead serious into her eyes: Nahi, mujhe kisi ke saath nahi jaana, koi kaam nahi hai, koi plan nahi hai, main tumhare ghar par hi aayunga tumhe pick karne. Tum mere saath hi aayogi aur main hi tumhe drop karunga. And no one else.
She found the courage and added softly: Wo Sana ji bhi hongi wahan...
Anuj queried: Kaun...
Amused by his ignorance, she was going redder minute by minute: Wo interior deco-rate-or...
Anuj prodded: What about her, you and Devika handling her right.
She nodded with amusement. She found herself unable to focus on the work at hand, and he was finding it difficult to move his gaze from her. He chided himself: Anuj... behave.
Devika entered the office and felt the difference in the air. She sat on the sofa, noticing Anupama behaving differently around him—her cheeks had a hue of light pink blush.
Anuj checked his watch: Time dekha hai, ye time hai aane ka
Devika narrowed her gaze: Aa gayi na, wahi bahut hai
Anuj replied in a strict tone: Respect the timelines, otherwise you will be replaced soon
Devika took the cushion and hurled it towards him: Acha bachu..
Anuj, who had just picked up the glass of water, was unaware of the attack. Anupama held the flying cushion in between. She passed a stare to Devika: Abhi lag jaati inko toh
She turned towards Anuj: Aur aap bhi aaram se paani pijiye, thaska lag jayega
In the very next minute, Anuj choked on the water. Anupama patted his back. She touched his chin and moved it upward: Upar dekhiye..He did. Finally, he was able to breathe again, while looking at her from the side of his eyes.
She frowned: Kaha tha na maine, aaram se pijiye
Anuj pointed at Devika: Uski wajah se hua hai, she threw the cushion aur phir main...
Anupama looked at Devika: Aise paani peete insaan ko pillow marte hai kya
Devika pouted: Theek hai, aage se jab ye nahi pee raha hoga tabhi maarungi.
