Sakshi heard him, and rushed into the shop to see who had the audacity to buy the bouquet, she had ordered.

"Kisne liye yeh flowers?" she asked angrily and looked towards Dev.

Dev too, looked in the direction of voice and his gaze met hers. His eyes widened in shock by looking at her. Same eyes, same face, same anger, same voice.....

Could she be his.......

"Sonakshi..." he whispered

Sakshi scanned the person in front of her from top to toe angrily, and turned towards the shopkeeper.

"Lekin order pehle maine diya tha. Aap aise kaise inhe yeh bouquet de sakte hain?" she raised her voice

FLASHBACK (Chapter 2 of LTE)

Sonakshi: "Maine yeh book pehle issue ki....therefore its mine (turning towards the Librarian) Sir, aap hi kuch boliye naa"

Dev: "Listen....main library mein pehle aaya tha....So this book should be mine"

END OF FLASHBACK

"Am sorry madam...par inhone toh paise bhi de diye hain...aap please koi dusra bouquet le lijiye" he requested

"Aise kaise dusra le lun?? Aapko pata bhi hai ki yeh bouquet kisi normal aadmi ke liye nahiin hai...he is a very big man" she argued

"Am really sorry madam...main aapko isse bhi accha bouqet dikhata hun aur...." but he was cut off in between by Dev.

"Ek minute....order pehle yeh madam ne diya tha. Toh yeh bouquet inko hi milni chahiye" he said calmly and kept the bouquet back on the counter.

The shopkeeper gave him the money back  and Dev was about to leave when he heard the lady calling him.

"Excuse me, thanks a lot. You are a gentleman" she smiled

Her smile instantly reminded him of Sonakshi, but he composed himself and slightly nodded his head with a faint smile.

He walked out of the florist shop, but halted hearing his company's name.

"Bhaiyaa, Dixit Industries kahaan par hai?" That lady asked the shopkeeper

"Bass aage se right madam...ek bohot badi si building hai, wohi hai Dixit Industries"

"Okay. Thank you"

"Why was she asking about my office?? Kya kaam hoga inhe?" Dev thought to himself and got seated in his car.
*********************

DIXIT INDUSTRIES

Dev walked towards his cabin all lost in his thoughts.....but was stopped by Bunty.

"Sir....Mehta and Companies ke managers 20 mins mein aa rahe hain" he said to which Dev simply nodded and went inside his cabin, leaving Bunty a bit confused over his strange behaviour.

Meanwhile, Sakshi arrived at Dixit Industries and was amazed to see the huge office. She walked to the reception and requested the reception to let her meet Mr Dev Dixit for a few minutes, but the receptionist didn't agree to it stating that there was no appointment.

"Aree appointment nahiin hai toh kya hua?? Sirf 5 minute ke liye hi toh milna hai. Please let me meet him" Sakshi requested

"Ma'am, meeting Dev sir isn't that easy. Please have a seat and make yourself comfortable. Tab tak, main aapke liye next  month ki appointment dekhti hun" said the receptionist.

"Next month?? Aap toh aise keh rahin hain jaise kal ki baat kar rahi ho" exclaimed Sakshi. "Dekhiye, main kuch aur nahiin sunna chahti! I have to meet him" she raised her voice, gathering the attention of others officials in the office.

Hearing this chaos, Bunty rushed towards the reception. "Priya...kya hua?? Itna....." words refused to come out of his mouth as soon as he saw Sakshi standing. He gulped down the whole glass of water kept on the table and gawked at her, leaving Sakshi amused.

"Excuse me, am Sakshi and...." but she was interrupted by Bunty.

"Ek minute...bas ek minute" he said and ran towards Dev's cabin.

"Devvv....Devvvvvv...ba...bahar...woh" he said hastily.

"Jaanta hun. Andar le aao" Dev said, presuming the visitor to be his clients from Mehta and Companies.

"Kya?? Tu jaanta hai" Bunty was gobsmacked

"Haan....ismein shocked hone wali kya baat hai?? Jaa, andar le aa" he replied

Bunty, was totally confused by now. However, he decided to do as he was told. He went to the reception where Sakshi was impatiently and a bit angrily waiting for him.

"Aap...aap aaiye mere saath" he said in a meak voice. Sakshi beamed with joy upon hearing this and followed him towards Dev's cabin, not before giving a mean look to the receptionist.

Bunty escorted her to the cabin, and even opened the door for her. Dev looked up from his files and was shocked on seeing the same lady at the florist in his cabin.
He stood up in astonishment, not knowing whether its a reality or a dream!!

"Aap??" Sakshi was surprised

"Shock hogaya naa??" asked Bunty

Before Dev, could reply, Sakshi butted in, "Haan...bilkul" she came near his table, and said, "Oh My God!! Am so sorry!! Yeh flowers aapke liye hi the" and forwarded the bouqet to him.

"Thank you" Dev accepted it but was still in his shocked state.

"Yeh keh rahi hain, ki inka naam Sakshi hai" Bunty spoke loudly and broke his chain of thoughts.

"Haan...woh toh hai. Bachpan se hi. Aap aise kyon react kar rahe hain?" Sakshi was really amused by their 'staring behaviour'

"Ah..ahh kuch nahiin. Woh mujhe sirf aapka naam bata raha tha" Dev said quickly giving an angry glare to Bunty.

"Ohh...Accha"

"Please have a seat" Dev said politely

Sakshi smiled and sat down, followed by Dev, whereas Bunty stood there wanting to know what they would be conversing about.

"Yes, Ms Sakshi. What can I do for you?" Dev asked curiously

"You just have to give me some of your time" she said, leaving Dev surprised, once again.

She sensed it, and replied, "Let me introduce myself. Am an author, Sakshi Mehra" and handed over her visiting card to him.

"Maine abhi ek biography Mr Karan Jaiswal par likhi hai, and its a big success. Ab next biography, main aap par likhna chahti hun" she said.

"Meri?? I don't think there is anything special about me, which you would write, and others would read" Dev humbly replied

Sakshi smiled and said, "This is your humility Mr Dixit. Otherwise, aapne toh kitna kuch kiya hai society ke liye. Cancer patients ke liye toh aap bohot kuch hain. Orphanages, old age homes, blind school, shelter for widow women, and much more. Aur yeh sab, aapne apna business handle karte hue kiya"

"Ek minute, aap itna sab kuch kaise jaanti hain mere baare mein?" Dev was astonished

"Abhi tak toh sirf aapko waise jaana hai, jaise log aapko describe karte hain. Now, I want to know, how you describe yourself...Please, if you could spare some time for this" she requested

"I keep very busy....," Dev replied making an excuse.

"Only busy people have time Sir" Sakshi was quick to answer, rendering Dev speechless.

"She is right!!" Bunty, who was a silent observer till then, added his two cents. Dev glared at him once again, but he made a puppy face, trying to make him agree for the biography.

"Ummm...I'll think about it and let you know" Dev said, finally.

"Ok then, I'll take your leave now" she stood up and handed over her card to Bunty too.

She walked towards the door, but turned back to say, "I'll wait for your call Mr Dixit. And I hope, your answer would be Yes!!" She smiled and left, closing the door behind her.
