Episode 113

When we entered the house, I saw Dad standing beside Grandad looking puzzled.
” Morning!!! ” Ansh said.
” Huh!!! Morning…. Is it? Where were you two? And why the hell you didn’t take your cell phones with you?”
Sht!!!

” We were really worried when Sara informed us you both were missing since the early morning.” Grandad said after we narrated him that we went for a walk.

I know it wasn’t a walk although.
” Sorry Dad… See what I have brought for you. Do you like it?” I gave him the packet.

” God! Ahana… This is Dad and my favourite. We used to have it almost once in a week. Where did you find it?” Dad said enthusiastically.
” On the beach….”

” Good!! Common on quick. Let’s have the breakfast. You have really cooled us down giving us our favourite food. ” Grandad said and went towards the dinning area.
I looked at Ansh and he gave me winking smile.
” See… I told you. Everyone likes Muska Bun…. ”

I washed my hands and face and brushed quickly and went to have breakfast.
” Dad… Today I will be going to the office.” I said.

” Why what happened? I thought you had to rest.”
” Yeah!! But some important work is pending and it needs my assistance.”
” Ansh!! Don’t exhaust her much. Come home soon.”
” Yes!! Dad…”

After the breakfast we both got ready. He was in his black Armani and I was in a knee length light cream dress with a jacket. At most comfortable.

” Let’s Go…. ” Ansh said holding-hands.
” Well… It feels good to go to work after such a long time.” I said quickly grabbing my purse.
” Yeah!! But you are not working… Remember…”

” I know. You are going to tell me why are we going to Maldives and from where did you find that photo. ”
” Curious… Are we? ”
” Of course….. ”

ANSH’S POV
It always felt wonderful to be with Ahana. She is such a kind of person, that the more you know her, the more you will want to know her.

I saw a little innocent girl hidden deep inside her today at the beach.
” Ansh… What are you thinking?” She said bringing me back.
” Huh! Nothing….”
” Don’t lie…..” She made an expression.

” Well, I was thinking that when are we going to tell everyone about the Twins. It’s their right too.” I said changing the topic. I was driving while Ahana was beside me. I did lie, but I was thinking about it lately.
She looked a bit upset now.

” Ahana…. ” I said looking at her and then at the road.
” Hmmm…

I am feeling guilty now. I shouldn’t have hidden about it in the first place. Everyone should know about it. What will they think about me?” She was on the verge of crying.
We had already reached the office by then. I parked the car at the usual place.

Then I held her hand and lifted her chin up cleaning the fresh tears.
” It’s Fine… You had your reasons, and I was responsible for all of them.

But it was a thing of past. Look… They all will be equally happy about it. I know. And I will answer all their questions. Trust me…”
She nodded.

” We can tell them together. A get-together at our home would be fine. ”
” Done… After we return from Maldives…. ” I said.
” What? When are we going there?” She asked me surprised.

” Tomorrow Morning… ”
” Huh!! Are you serious? ”
” Yes… I don’t think we should delay it more. It’s already been a long wait. And I have planned everything. ”

She smiled at me. It was the best thing ever. Those dimples will surely be the death of me one day.
We entered our lobby.

I must say everyone was equally surprised seeing Ahana. I think they all liked her. All the employees were coming towards us and wishing us. It was a very different sort of happiness.

Something that I can’t express. Something that, Ahana was responsible.
Happiness of becoming a father, that too not of one but two. Just then Jen came.

” Morning Mam… Morning Sir. Nice to see both of you together.” She said hugging Ahana.
” Same here….”
” How are you mam?”
” I am good.”
” Anyways… Her work wouldn’t be pending Jen, is it?” I said.

” Not at all sir. Although mam didn’t come to the office for almost 3 months all her work is up to date.”

” Okay!! We are in my cabin. I hope there is no meeting set up for a week. ” I said.
” No Sir… I have rescheduled it. ”
” A week….. Ansh…. ” Ahana said giving her evergreen surprised look.
” I will explain. Thanks, Jen. ” I said pulling Ahana to my cabin.

” Ansh!! What the heck are you planning to do?” She said once we were in the office.
” We are going to Maldives. I told you right? ”
” For a week…..”

” It’s a wonderful place. Won’t we enjoy ourselves? ”

” I know you have something going on in your wicked mind. You are not a person who will take a vacation.” She said sitting in the chair.

I neared her and wrapped my hands around her waist.
” Ansh!! What are you doing? ”
” Really…. You know me so well… ”

Just then someone knocked.

” Oh my goodness! Bad timing. Please come in,” I said, and Ahana chuckled.

“Sir, coffee…” Jen entered and placed the coffee on the table before leaving.
“Ahana, no…” I said as she reached for one of the cups.

“What’s wrong?”
“You’re on a ‘No Coffee’ streak, remember? You’ve already resisted for a long time. Why not hold off a little longer?”

“Oh, come on! One sip won’t hurt. Besides, I don’t really want to drink it, but since it’s right in front of me, I feel tempted.”

“But you’ll be even more tempted,” I warned, and she made a face.
“Okay, fine! One sip, and then I’ll treat you to a big cup of hot chocolate and a pastry,” I offered.
“Promise?” she smiled.
“Yeah!”

“So, Ansh, what’s the plan? How did you discover all this and when? Did you contact her?”

“Yes, I’ll explain,” I replied, taking her back to the flashback scene when I called Miss Rose.

“May I speak to Miss Rose? It’s Ansh Raichand calling.”
“One moment, please. I’ll transfer the call.”
“Yes, Mr. Raichand. How can I assist you?” she asked.
“Actually, your work has been amazing. The designs you sent us were highly appreciated by the entire board of directors. We would like to collaborate with you for the upcoming project as well. That’s why I called you personally.”

“Oh, that’s fantastic to hear. I’m looking forward to it. But I’m currently out of the country.”
“Not a problem. When can we meet?”
“Well, I’m on a month-long vacation in the Maldives,” she replied.

“I don’t mind coming there for a meeting if you agree, as I don’t like delays.”
“Well, some work would be fine. Inform me when you’ll be arriving, and I’ll make arrangements.”

“It won’t be necessary. I don’t want to bother you on your vacation. We can meet in two days. Please text me your location.”
“Okay, it’s settled…”

AHANA’S POV

I was surprised and equally impressed with what Ansh told me. I never expected this from him. He always manages to surprise me. When I first saw the photo, I couldn’t believe it was Zara.

How could it be her? She had long auburn hair and round eyes. But it was definitely Zara, with the only difference being her slightly shorter hair and the fact that she was wearing contact lenses. I can never forget her, with her diamond-cut face and that smile.

“Ansh, I can’t believe it. How did you find her?”
“You know I went to London about a month before our wedding,” I said.
“Hmmm…”

“She is the head of operations at ‘Fashion Feista.’ I met her there to get the designs for our new brand, ‘Quintessence,’ The Aurora of Uniqueness. We’re in it together, you know.”

“Of course, I know. Didn’t I tell you that the designs were awesome, and the client response was great? It’s one of our most profitable firms.”

“Yeah! So when Jaai showed me your picture with her, I found a resemblance. Then I left abruptly from the charity event to confirm by comparing it with the group picture we took in London.”

“Hmmm… And even Jaai was looking for her in London. So, what’s the plan now?”
“Let’s call Jaai and tell him about it. No… let’s go together to his house in the evening and surprise him. He’ll be shocked and thrilled.”

” Are you sure? He can prepare himself if you tell him beforehand.”
” Ansh!! He is always prepared. I am going to my cabin and will do some work. Tell me when we have to leave. ”
” Sure… Don’t exhaust yourself. ”
” Ansh!! ” I called him while leaving.
” Hmm… ” He looked up from his files.
” Thanks…. ”
I smiled.
” Anytime… ” He winked.

I went in my cabin. I missed it so much. I sat on my comfy chair. It feels so good to be back. The place was as it is as I saw it the last time.
I kept my purse on the table and removed all the files.
