Kriti's POV:
Can this day be any more surprising? First I had the tremendous fight with the landlord, then got an interview call from such a renowned company. And the CEO of which turns out to be the one whom I scolded this morning! The moment I saw him I knew he's not gonna select me at least, ego after all. But again... surprise surprise! I got in. I realized he really keeps his personal and professional life separate. God! I am so excited for this job. Finally I can support maa financially. I have dreamt of this day for so long now!
On the other hand, Dhruv was still confused of his feelings.
Dhruv's POV:
Why am I getting so restless? She is just another girl. Another normal girl. Nothing special. Then why did I get such amazing vibe with her? No...no it's nothing. It can't be anything. She is just my employee and I'm her boss. That's it.
He was fighting his thoughts when heard a knock on his door. It was his mom.
Dhruv: Mom? Come in please! From when do you need permission to come to my room?
Mom: (smiles) no I thought you are a grown up man now so I should not disturb your privacy.
Dhruv: Mom! Really? Now you are being formal with your own son.
Mom: Ok leave all this. Listen to me. Do you remember your dad's friend Sudhir uncle?
Dhruv: Aaaa? Y... Yes Sudhir uncle! The one from UK? Yes I remember. What about him?
Mom: He is in our city now. Shifted with his family a week ago.
Dhruv: Ok?
Mom: Now... Do you remember his daughter Akansha?
Dhruv: Ohh mom I remember everyone! Uncle, his wife, his daughter... everyone!
Mom: Yes. So I and your papa were discussing if you could meet Akansha any day for marri...
Before his mom could actually say the word Dhruv stood up annoyingly
Mom: But beta hear me out at least!
Dhruv: Mom please! No. Not again. How many times I actually told you not to bring this topic? But you being you will not listen to anybody but yourself. I already told you million times that love... marriage.. These things are not for me. Not anymore!
Mom: But Dhruv for how long will you hold to past? You can't stay like this forever! You have to move on.
Dhruv: I try mom. I try every day. And I fail....Everyday! So please leave me to my condition. If any day I feel that I can start a fresh life I'll come up to you first. I promise. But that day is not today nor any day soon. So don't keep up your hopes. I don't enjoy disappointing you every time. Try to understand my side!
Dhruv's eyes became teary by now. Drops rolled down his cheeks. This included both disappointment and pain.
Mom: Beta it was not your fault! (trying to comfort him)
Dhruv: No mom it was ... It was my fault that I could fix what happened.
Mom: Dhr....
Dhruv: I don't to have this conversation again mom. Please leave me alone for now.
(his mom left the room and Dhruv sat with his laptop pretending to work but totally lost in thoughts)
A week passed by this and finally it was time for Kriti to join The Khanna Publishers. She was shown her cubicle which was had a very clear vision to Dhruv's cabin.
In no time she was buried under piles of work folders.
She whispered to her co worker Zoya, who sat next to her-
Kriti: So many files! Is it a publishing house or a government service office?
Zoya: (laughs) These were almost done but since you are a new intern, Dhruv sir wants you to go through them so that you understand the work process here.
Kriti: Is he too strict?
Zoya: Dhruv sir? No no he is chilled most of the time, but when it comes to the reputation of this company he can be the worst.
Kriti: Dude don't scare me please!
Zoya: ha ha! You should know whom are you working under.
She nodded and returned back to her work.
Kriti: (to herself) hmm! I should know whom I'm working under!
She turned to her phone and searched Dhruv's name on instagram. It took her few seconds to find his account.
Kriti's POV:
His account had very few posts. Most of them were form award shows and of the company winning prizes. God! Is this his account or the company's? (laughs to herself) There were pictures of his family and friends. And finally I found one of his single pic. I must accept he really is a handsome hunk! The picture was from some hill station as the mountains were in the background. Now that's something interesting – the caption: "and the best photographer award goes to my babe". Babe!!! Aha Girlfriend! So Mr workaholic has a love life too. But the picture was 4 years old and this information is of no use to me. Suddenly I lost control and my phone slipped and fell on the floor. I picked it up and ......
Wait .....
Did I just?
Nooooooooooo!!!!
Fuck !!! Fuck!!!!!!!
FUCK !!!!!!!!!!
Did I just liked his freaking picture?
