Chapter 8: chapter 8

NEXT DAY:Yamini as usual after doing everything went to the office. After she entered inside her cabin she found Puja and Darek both waiting for her.She got confused seeing Darek there though Puja coming there was normal for her but Darek never intervened during their office hours but this was the first time he was here.She went to them and asked while sitting on her chair "Wow Darek another  pleasant surprise that you're here in the office!"Darek just smiled in return while Puja replied with a sad face "He has a reason that's why he came otherwise who can force this man to be here"Darek gently hugged her from the side and said "Ohh my darling... don't be sad na I don't like seeing you sad like that..."Yamini lifted her brows in confusion as she did not get any idea about what they were discussing. She asked confusingly "Why is she sad and why did you come here?" Puja replied sadly "He came to see off as he is leaving for the US in a while". Yamini widened her eyes in shock and asked "What? Today but why?"Darek made an innocent face and replied "what to do I somehow got a holiday till today...so that's why I have to leave now and moreover what do you guys call in hindi..." He thought for sometime when suddenly he remembered the word and said "Yeah khadoos...my khadoos boss will not allow me to take more leave"He pronounced that word khadoos so weirdly that both Puja and Yamini couldn't stop themselves and started laughing hard.While Darek admired Yamini's laughing face and said in his mind "I hope you always laugh like that little sister...because I just can't see your dull face. When you smile you make everyone else smile...I hope you get the best man in your life...whatever happened in the past was past but now I'm sure you'll get your Mr Perfect very soon"When both of them stopped laughing then saw Darek standing there and watching both of them with a gentle smile on his face but he seemed lost somewhere else.Puja waved her hand near him and called "Hey Darek...what happened what are you thinking??"He came back to his senses and replied "Nothing.. I was just thinking about why you both were laughing so much did I say something funny??" Puja again laughed hearing this while somehow she stopped herself and said "Omg seriously your asking what funny you said...when you know that any hindi words will sound funny from your mouth then why do you pronounce also"She again started laughing while he started making faces while staring at her weirdly. But here on the other hand Yamini was already lost in her own world thinking about whatever conversation she had last night with her lawyer.She was so engrossed that she did not notice Puja and Darek observing her from long time. She came back to her senses when she felt someone's cold hand on her shoulder.She glanced towards that person and found Darek watching her with concerned look. She just smiled softly trying to steal glances from them."What happened Yams? Why do you seem so lost? Did anything happened?" He asked observing her closely."Ummm....nothing actually I have something to discuss... I don't know how I should start" she replied with her face having full of confusion.Puja came forward and asked back "Why what happened?"She took a long breath before answering and finally she said  "Actually last night I got a call from our family lawyer Vishwas uncle who is also my father's very good friend. He told me that some local people who had eyes on our ancestral property there in India signed a petition claiming that property to be theirs, so he wants me to go back there with all the property papers so that he can fight and win the case"Puja and Darek were surprised to hear this while Darek replied "Omg Yams that's very serious...what will you do now?""That's what I'm not able to understand...should I go there or not? You guys very well know that the place has snatched many things from me I just don't want to go there again but I don't have no choice left either...what should I do now?" She asked while looking at their faces hopefully.Darek thought for some time then he replied "I think Yams you should go there...I know whatever happened back there was unfortunate but now you'll have to face whatever is coming to you. You just cannot sit and escape like this and regarding your property then I think you should definitely go and try to save it because it's your father's and your family's last memory you got there sis... I think you should go there as soon as possible""But what about the office... I know if I go there then it will take me time to settle everything out there...till then who will look over everything?" She asked again with a questioning lookPuja who was silent for a long time came to her and said assuring her "Yams...when I'm there then why do you fear? I'll look over everything here and whatever Darek said is totally correct. You go there and try your best to win"She faced Puja and asked with a concerned tone "Are you sure you'll be able to handle everything properly?"She blinked her eyes in yes and then said "Yams pack everything up because tomorrow you're leaving for India."She smiled softly at them and then took her phone out from her purse and called her lawyer and it seemed that he was already waiting for her call as he immediately picked up the call in one go.As soon as he picked up the call she said "Vishwas uncle... I'm coming back tomorrow...please arrange everything which is required for the case" Guys what do you think will happen next? How will destiny arrange Shrey and Yamini's meeting? And what will happen when they cross paths?
