'There are hearts that do not know how to hate, no matter how much they have been wronged.'

Riya reached her office and made her way to the cubicle she occupied as an intern. The office staff greeted her on the way to which she gave a formal brief nod. Though she was yet to hold any significant post as such, the staff treated her with respect.

She was sitting on her chair and going through some report when someone suddenly pulled her chair towards the other direction. Riya was startled by the sudden movement. She put a hand on her heart in an attempt to control her elated heart beats and glared at the person who had pulled her so inhumanly.

A very nervous looking Aditi stood in front of her. She paid no attention to Riya and abruptly sat on the chair infront of her, nearly missing it due to the sudden push caused as a result of her rash sitting, thereby gaining the attention of everyone around. She smiled awkwardly at everyone before burying her face into the file on the desk.

After a minute of pretending to read she looked up from her file only to find Riya looking at her with a raised eyebrow. Aditi was just about to cry from extreme nervousness.

"Riya, Riya, Riya kya hoga mera!!! I am so unprepared. What am I going to do in the meeting today? Your father is going to fire me for sure after seeing this shit of a presentation I made. No other Company will give me a job this way. Oh god!" She rambled bitting the nails of her left hand, her right hand over her laptop keyboard going through the presentation for n'th time now.

"Dramebaaz!! Dramatic enough!!" Riya muttered under her breath and rolled her eyes getting back to the report she was reading earlier.

........................................................

"Yay!! Meri naukari bach gyi. My job is saved." Aditi was jumping with joy holding Riya's hands after the officials had appreciated her's and Riya's presentation and after suggesting a few minor changes it was decided that they would be delivering the presentation on the behalf of the company to the client the day after. They had the meeting with the client in one of the luxurious Hotels of S S Group.

Riya rolled her eyes at her friend's childlike enthusiasm. This was Aditi's usual behaviour before and after every exam, presentation or competition. Riya shook her head and started walking towards the cafetaria to grab her lunch. A chirping Aditi followed her while surfing on her social media account only to come across something.

"Riya yeh wala gaana sunna. Kya awaz hai yaar. Kya pyara gaata hai. Awww.... Kitna cute dikhta hai. Riya listen to this song. What a voice!! He sings so well. Awww.... He looks so cute. Those eyes, that smile, that body.......Haye!!!!" Aditi blabbered, sighing dreamily while watching some video on her phone urging Riya to have a look.

Riya ignored her and kept walking towards the cafetaria. Aditi pulled her back holding her elbow making her lose her balance.

"What?" Riya asked holding the near by wall for support.

"Dekhna. Have a look." Aditi forwarded her phone for Riya to see.

"Nhi Dekhna mujhe. I don't want to. Come fast. The lunch time had already ended" Riya said resuming her walk towards the cafetaria.

"So what?? It's not our mistake that the meeting ended so late. Anyways who is going to scold or stop you. Miss Future CEO" Aditi said only to be ignored by Riya again who took her lunch from the counter and grabbed a chair.

"We eat here everyday. The food is so boring. Lets go out somewhere. There's a nice cafe at the end of this lane. We'll get to see so many hot guys. Chalna!!!! Come on!!!!" Aditi said grabbing Riya's hand urging her to dine out with her in the process nearly falling her plate.
