Infatuation.???????..Love.??????? Part 6

Kajal was looking in Sujit’s eyes, she saw surprise and then recognition coming in it. They both straightened and Sujit handed over Kajal’s phone to her and there was an awkward silence around them.

"What are you doing here?" they both said in unison and laughed.

Kajal didn’t know what to say, she had never expected to see him again, but here he was. His tall frame was the same, so was his awesome face which had just become more mature and also more handsome. His hair were still dark black which he wore till his collar. He was in his uniform, a cream white short sleeved shirt and black trousers. He was still the same breathtaking, and his mouth. Better not think about it right now, she saw her new friends were looking at curiously. Hastily she introduced them and sensing their awkwardness they excused and left the canteen.

Now it was only him and Kajal. They were still standing between the tables, finally Sujit broke the silence.

"You had your lunch?" Sujit asked Kajal, he didn’t know what else to say. Shocked was very mild word to describe what he was feeling. When he had seen her it felt like a truck had flattened him and then going back done it the second time.

Communication was never a barrier between them, they could talk about almost everything {but that was before that episode}. She was his best friend and god he had missed her. A lot.

"Yes, I did. I had finished my lunch, and while getting up I dropped my cell." Kajal replied to him, but her mind was reeling. She had to concentrate on what he was saying, and not to look at his eyes, his neck. His lips, she wasn’t going to think about his lips. No, Not at all.

Again there was silence, canteen was not that crowded as most of the lunch crowd had gone. They both were looking at each other thinking what to ask. Disgusted by the scene Sujit thought this was her best friend, and now they were acting as strangers. He looked at her she had become more beautiful, and more distant.

There was time when she would just come and start talking making her stop talking was TASK and now she was thinking what to say to him. A waiter passed and just missed hitting Kajal’s head with the tray.

Making a decision Sujit steered her towards the exit of the canteen. He would explain his colleagues later, right now aftershock was thinning and anger was replacing it. Sujit welcomed it, he required it to think beside her soft hand he was holding.

While walking with him, Kajal was only aware of Sujit’s hands on her elbows. His hand was big and warm and she was feeling tingles not only where he was touching but on all parts of her body. She also had her EROTIC dream and its image in her mind. Why did god had to torture her this way, she had forgotten him and his kiss. LIAR LIAR. Her inner voice called out. Damn it! For once couldn’t her inner voice lie, now a girl couldn’t depend on that also? She was okay in her dreams with him, in reality HE WAS MARRIED, and now she will have to remember it. Every minute of the day, while talking to him, while fantasizing about him. She will have to remember that he was MARRIED, which simply meant she could not lean and nibble on his jaw. Girl get a grip.

Guess something snapped in her system as she realized that they were standing in front of her office building and Sujit was staring at her intensely. Nervously she looked at herself, if some of the lunch remainings were there on her dress but found nothing. Finally she looked at him, "Is something wrong?"

"No, nothing is wrong. Why would something be wrong, when one of my friends and let me tell you one of my close friends or I considered her as one of my close friends. She goes to out of town and forgets that she had a friend here. That is not wrong right. Of course the same friend comes back in town and I don’t know it. Now there is no problem in that right kajal" when Sujit finished he realized he was more than angry and was glad all was out, not all of it but part of it.

Kajal’s mouth was open she had never seen Sujit angry atleast not with her, and she should have expected this but she didn’t which showed that he was right. "Look I know I should have said bye and gone but you know how my father was ill and" Kajal could not continue as sujit took one step further and Kajal thought he looked dangerous, deliciously dangerous. Which showed that she was out of her mind.

"We both know the reason of your hasty departure and not keeping in touch with me. But now I guess its time we had a talk about that subject, don’t you think?" Sujit said it calmly but there was something in his tone for her to swallow as her throat was too dry. No one said a word for a while and then one of the security officer went saying Hi to Sujit. It brought him to sense that where they were.

Sujit straightened and tried to control his anger, after seeing her for such a long time he could wait a little bit longer. Bloody 5 years he had yearned for her, he can wait for some more time. But one thing was for sure, he had suffered these 5 years now it will be her turn. He distanced himself and looked at her, "You better get going, I will see you later."

Kajal turned and left before she did something foolish, she only stopped at her desk and kept her head on the desk. She had never thought that she would meet Sujit again. Her table seemed to start vibrating, she saw that her cell was ringing. It was an unknown no., if someone wanted the sell something to her that person was in big surprise. Ready to bite off the person’s head she shouted, ‘hello"

"Hi, Kajal? This is Karthik."

Kajal groaned and cursed god one more time. Both brothers had same timing, wasn’t that cozy?

"Hi Karthik, sorry I didn’t have your no. Tell me how are you?" Kajal tried to be friendly but failed .

"I am fine. But you sound tired, you are not well?" Karthik continued, his voice was similar to Sujit which made her remember the anger on sujit’s face. Kathik said something else but kajal’s mind was somewhere else.

"Sorry Karthik, the thing is it’s my first day in office. So" she trailed off expecting him to understand. Which he did by saying.

"No problems, I understand. I’ll call you later and if you are free we may go out. Bye" karthik ended the call

Why did both brothers have to contact her on the same day? Cursing she went on working, and made a decision to avoid Sujit and Karthik all together.

But Kajal didn’t know what Sujit had stored in for her...
