Do you love me?

MORNING JOG

Unknown (male voice): I am her classmate. Is she making a terrible mistake by leaving this opportunity?

Pavan: first of all what's your name? What are you talking about? And what is that opportunity?

Unknown: I am Vikas. We have met a few times before.

Pavan: Hey Vikas, How are you, man? I know you tried sincerely to impress Priya, but she doesn't like you? Do you think not loving you is her terrible mistake?

Vikas: I am not talking about that, I am talking about her dream.

Pavan: Which dream are you talking about?

Vikas: I think you know Priya's dream is to get placed in one of the top 10 Interior Designing companies in the USA and, after gaining experience, she wanted to set up her own company in India.

Pavan: But she was not selected for the companies she was looking for, so she joined our company. What's wrong with that?

Vikas: Only two students were selected in the interview, conducted by Axis designing company at our university. Axis is one of the top companies in the USA. Priya and I were the two who got selected in the interview. we planned everything regarding the accommodation, expenses etc. But after getting a Visa last month, she said she was no longer interested in the job.

Pavan: Why did she lie to me about the interview? Did you ask her the reason why she is not interested now? Don't tell me that you misbehaved with her ?

Vikas: No man I sware I did nothing wrong with her and I tried thousands of times to her number to know the reason, but it continues getting a busy tone. So I thought you could help me to reach her.

Pavan: can't you understand she blocked your number? Man, if you really want to talk to her, meet me at our office at 12:20 pm tomorrow. I will take her to the canteen so we can talk there.

Vikas: thanks for understanding bro, I am looking forward to meeting her. (hang up the call)

After having dinner, Pavan went to bed early but he started thinking about Priya & why she lied to him and what would be the reason behind it ? While thinking, he slowly fell into sleep.

Next day (Monday)

Pavan woke up at 3 o'clock to use the washroom but couldn't get back to sleep again, so he went for a jog with Rocky ( Rocky is the name of Pavan's dog, a breed of German Shepherd). After jogging for some time, he sat on a bench to catch his breath. He could sense the touch of a cool breeze and could see the beauty of the colorful sky with the rising sun. Sunrays start falling on the earth and birds start their day while singing a morning song. Slowly, the park was filling with people.

Rocky starts barking at a girl passing by. She was jogging wearing a pink colored jacket (full sleeve)with headphones on. Pavan saw her curves from the back and thought "this girl covered her skin with clothes but failed to hide her charms". But suddenly, Rocky ran towards her and jumped on her. Pavan ran to catch the rocky and dragged him away from the girl but she started petting him. While the morning light was falling on her, her face was shining like a full moon covered with droplets of sweat which were twinkling like stars. While seeing her, his eyes forgot to blink, but he was stunned after realizing that she was no one other than Priya.

Priya came towards him with Rocky and greeted him with a smile.

Priya: I never thought you would wake up before 7 a.m.

Pavan (thought in mind) I never thought you were such a beauty?

Priya: Don't tell me that you have a habit of sleepwalking?

Pavan: maybe I am not a morning person who wakes early like a hen, but I go to the gym every day like a lion.

Priya ( she starts lounging): who said the lion goes to the gym? And where is your tail, Mister lion ??

Pavan ( changing topic): Hey don't bring your lunch today, let us eat at the canteen together.

Priya: How sweet. So you started liking me and wanted to spend time with me right ?

Pavan: Yeah, I even have a surprise for you, so don't forget to come and I am done with jogging, so I am going back, do you like to come with me?

Priya (holds Pavan's hand and says): I love to.

Her eyes are shining like high voltage bulbs in which a blind man can see her love ❤️. The three went back home and they two got ready for office. Pavan selected a pair of clothes that were gifted by a Priya and dressed up in them. After having a tiffin, he went to the office.
