Arjun's pov :

Life became so blissful.

Nowadays I and Aaru are chatting or talking on the phone almost daily.

She is slowly opening up to me.

I feel, she too likes me, but she is a little hesitant or shy to express it to me.

Mom and Dad also observed my happy mood and starting their interrogation about any girl in my life.

I diverted the topic and just mentioned my company work but still, they are not so convinced with my explanation.

I'm always eager to listen to Aaru's voice.

I want to spend my time with her.

Listening to her talks.

Laughing with her.

Eating her hand made food.

Sharing how our day went.

And many more. ..

I started dreaming of many new fantasies with her.

One day I will fulfil all those fantasies.

Thinking all these, I reached to office.

Today we have a meeting regarding a new deal.

.
.
.
.

Meeting went well.

We signed the deal.

It's a treaty deal with one of our competitor's company in the textile industry.

Recently the ex-chairman of that company died in an accident. The next heir, his one and only grandson is still young, his father is also no more, he only had his mother, so they are interested in collaborating with us.

His mother had a fear of their relative rivals invading their company, so she came with the proposal.

We are competitors but not rivals.

It's a 50-50 profit for both of our companies.

With this deal, our friendship became a little strong but in the business world, every step has both pros and cons. We should be careful in each step.

Till he completes his studies and reaches the age to handover the company, we will manage its administration and manufacturing.

Later he gets the power back and we will get 30% shares of their company.

And many more clauses are added in our agreement with our respective favours.

It took time to check out paperwork and all by our lawyers and finally deal got sealed.

I'm a little happy about this deal, as still know we are still racing with many other companies in the textile industry but with this deal, we got a step ahead strong.

Both the companies respective staff will work together.

We also planned to design a new combined logo as we collaborated with each other.

Evening :

I wrapped all my work and started towards Ritu's school.

I already asked the driver to pick him.

I'm going to see Aaru.

It's been so many days, we met each other face to face. Today I want to spend some time with her alone.

I want to share my happy moments with her.

.

I reached the school.

I spotted Aaru in the parking slot starting her scooty.

"Aaru! " I shouted waving my hand.

She turned to my side and noticed me.

"Arjun!" She said my name with a little surprise look.

"Hi." I said smiling more.

"Hi. Are you waiting for Ritu? " She asked.

"Nope. Ritu already left with driver." I said.

"I ca..me to.. see you.." I said stretching my words.

"Oh.." She said cutely.

"Any important plans tonight? " I asked.

"Nothing. It's a normal night. " She said thinking.

"Ok. Then, Can I have the special privilege to take you out ?" I asked.

"Umm... Is Mr Arjun Mehta taking me on a date?" She asked smiling.

"Yup. Mr Arjun Mehta is waiting for Ms Aaradhya Verma's answer. " I answered.

"Hmm.. let me think. Is anything special today? " She asked.

"Nothing much. Your presence will make it more special. " I said winking.

"God! You became so cheesy. Ok. Let's go. " She said.

"Wait. Park your scooty here in school. We will go in my car." I said.

She nodded her head and parked her scooty.

I opened the passenger seat door for her.

She seated and I started driving.

"Where are we going? " She asked.

"Exhibition. A new exhibition is opened recently. " I answered.

"Cool. Ok." She said.

.
.
.
.
We reached the exhibition.

It's a different exhibition mingled with various cultures.

It has different games stalls, food stalls, different articles shops.

"Arjun. Shall we try shooting? " She asked excitedly seeing balloon shooting stall.

"Ok. Sure." I said.

We tried shooting. We both lost the game but enjoyed a lot.

We tried a few different games like ring catch, catching little fishes.

We went for some rides.

Aaru had a little fear of heights.

We both hold each other hands throughout the rides.

While entering a ride, she will be all nervous but after a few seconds, she is enjoying like a small kid shouting and laughing.

We tried many rides.

We got tired and hungry, so we went towards food stalls.

We tasted different cultures food items.

               Kulfi Faluda ( Rajasthani)

                Fish fingers  (Kerala )

We started watching some article shops.

Aaru is examining some hair clips.

"Aaru. I think this clip suits you." I said picking one flower clip.

"Try it." I said giving it to her.

She is having a little difficulty trying it without a mirror.

"Wait. Shall I? " I asked taking the clip into my hand.

She nodded silently.

I pinned the clip to her hair.

We shared an eye lock.

It looks beautiful on her.

"It's beautiful. " I said getting out of the trance.

"Thank you ." She said smiling.

We completed our little shopping and started back to our houses.

.
.
.
.
We continued our journey silently listening to songs.

We reached her place.

"Thank you, Arjun. I enjoyed it a lot. " She said getting down.

"My pleasure. " I said smiling.

"Bye. Drive safe." She said.

"Ok. Bye. Take care. " I said starting my car.
