Juhi was organizing her stuff for the next day. She had an important meeting. The meeting would take her a step forward. She could directly work under her father, if this meeting turned out successful.

Though she was nervous, but talking to Ankita and meeting Vikram had taken her mind off things, until she made a list of "To do tasks" for the week.

Now she was panicking, having wasted her day off. She didn't even go through the presentation once. How could she be so irresponsible? Such an important presentation and she messed up! Sighing, she opened her laptop and put on her glasses and got to work.

Midway through the presentation, her phone rang, it said Vikram calling. She answered the call.

[J for Juhi and V for Vikram]

J : Hello!

V: Hello! So, what are you doing?

J: I am actually going through a presentation.

V: Oh! You continue. I will call some other time.

J: No, Vikram! We can talk. I am almost done.

V: You are obviously busy, Juhi

J : Quit the formalities. Tell me what were you doing.

V: My friend just went back home. I was going to retire for the night in a while.

J : You don't work on Sundays?

Juhi was amazed how can a workaholic like him not work on Sundays!

V: I do! I got my work done in the afternoon.

Juhi chuckled at how correct her first thoughts were

J: Lucky you! Got work done in the afternoon.

V: Yeah! So, you didn't work in the morning?

J: Wish I could. But maa took me in the kitchen today.

V: What did you make?

J: If you can count shapeless rotis and veggies a dish. I made that.

V: First time?

Vikram asked chuckling.

Juhi nodded but then realised he couldn't see her,
J : Yes, now I will be joining her daily. She wants me to learn cooking for you.

Vikram's eyes widened. Just how outspoken was she. He flushed and with a smile said,
V: I myself am not good in kitchen. You don't have to learn cooking specially for me.

Juhi was amazed by this man.

J: Initially, she had to force me. But now, I want to learn, for you.
She blushed profusely. What was wrong with her, she could never talk to any guy like that. He was doing things to her head.

Vikram on the other hand had gone silent. He was rubbing his face with a weird smile on.

After a bit of silence, she asked
J: Are you there?

V: Yes!
came his voice loud, as if he was startled.

V: If you say so. Do what you want to.

Juhi hummed in response.

V: So, how was the first time?

Juhi blasted him with details and also her father's comments. Vikram was enjoying the conversation laughing at her antics.

When his eyes fell on the clock, it was 12. She had told him, to not call after 12.

V: Juhi, sorry to interrupt but it is 12.

Juhi glanced at the clock and wondered how she managed to talk to the guy for more than an hour.

J: Yes, I should go.

V:Yes, good night!

J: Good night, Vikram.

Hanging up Juhi, stared back at her laptop. Groaning she got back to work.

While Vikram had a smile on his face, he was excited to talk to this girl.
He made a note to ask her out on a date soon. With that he fell asleep.

A song for their chats, a budding romance 😉
