Jay's eyes were fixed on Muskan. The moment he had been waiting for has finally arrived. He had prepared a lot for this moment. He had practiced a lot to insert his heart talks in the midst of work so that Muskan would not feel uncomfortable. But when that moment came and he heard his name for the first time in 10 years from her mouth, Jay stood at his place completely numb.
Muskan, who courageously toughened herself up to such an extent that even when Jay appeared in front of her, it didn't matter to her. But seeing him staring at herself like this, she remembered the incident that happened 10 years ago.
When Jay had confessed his heart out to Muskan on the day of the school festival, she saw the same look in his eyes on that day when she appeared in front of him in a light yellow dress. Jay had such power in his eyes that without saying anything, he told her everything. That day as well as today, his eyes were saying the same things.
"At last you have come, Muskan. No one in this world can be more beautiful than you. Thank you very much that you respected my words and came here to meet me. My yearning eyes are now finally relieved."
Coming out of her past memories, Muskan managed herself and tried to wake Jay as well with her words from a distance.
"Mr. Jay? Mr. Roy?"
When Jay regained consciousness after Muskan called him repeatedly, he pulled himself together and invited her to sit on the sofa of his cabin.
When others came, Jay himself used to sit on the chair in front i.e. the main authority chair and made others sit on the adjacent chair, this was his way of letting others know who the boss was. This style of his was very famous in his offices abroad and the same tradition and its significance was explained and followed in his office in the home country. But today he sat on the adjacent chair in front of Muskan, facing her..
"What did you call me here for?" Muskan asked straightforwardly.
"Yes. I called you Musk-"
"Ms. Muskan. I want us not to drop our formalities. Here we both have a work-related relationship. We don't have the need or permission to get personal." Muskan said, interrupting Jay.
" My bad. Ms. Muskan. So I asked you to come because-" Before Jay could finish his sentence, there was a knock at the door of his cabin.
Jay said in a high-pitched voice, getting annoyed,”Come In.”
"Sir, lunch." Standing outside was Ted. He had two packets in his hand that contained their lunches.
"Looks like you are very hungry, that's why you are already on the couch. Sorry there is a lot of traffic here so the order took time to arrive." He didn't see Muskan sitting there because of the height of the sofa and kept the food on the table making fun of Jay without looking around. After placing the food, he saw that Muskan was also present there.
"Ted!" Jay called his name to shut his mouth. Because he knew that in private Ted was not his assistant but his wife. The one who used to taunt him for everything. He didn't want to make fun of himself in front of Muskan.
