Maya's POV

"Oh god I'll be late to the gym today, I'm sure the new trainer is going to put me through hell today." I think this to myself and walk briskly towards the gym in my locality.

Recently, my gym trainer Priyank had moved in to a different city, so his colleague who is also known as a beast in gym, will be training me. Well, I have never seen this person but have heard a lot about him. I never wanted to see this person, let alone getting trained by him. Phew...

Don't think I forgot to introduce myself. I am Maya and I am a practising CA and own my firm in the metropolitan city of Bangalore. I love my life here but also miss my parents a lot in my hometown. I'm their only child and I miss their pampering. I belong to an upper middle class family where my dad is an accountant and my mom is a home maker. I moved in to Bangalore after clearing CA and built this firm on my own at the mere age of 25 and I must say, I'm proud of myself. I love me!

I wanted to include health and fitness into my routine so that I'm not worn out due to the excess work pressure and thus decided to join a gym in my locality. Priyank is a genuine guy who agreed to train me as he knew I wanted to maintain my health and nothing much. Now that he is moving out of Bangalore, I've started getting panic attacks because of this new trainer "Arpit", Arpit the arrogant trainer.

"Why God why? Why me?" I thought to myself and sighed sharply and went inside the gym to find the devil already waiting for me. He had is back facing towards me and I could see his bulging muscles through his tight t shirt. My heart was already pounding but I gathered my courage and was about to pat his shoulders to make him aware of my presence. But he suddenly turned towards me with a cold but sparkling gaze. His eyes were brown and pretty, his lashes looked like a peacock's feather, his eyebrows were perfectly thick and shaped, his lips were pink and a bit plump. I was taken a back by his appearance as it didn't match the description given to me by others in the gym.

He snapped me out of my thoughts and introduced himself in his husky deep voice, "hello, good morning, you might already know me by now, I'm Arpit, your new trainer. I'll be taking Priyank's place from now on." in a very cold tone. I gulped audibly and whispered, "Hi..i Ar-Arpit, I am M-Maya." He narrowed his eye and smirked, "Isn't it supposed to be CA Maya?" I was shook completely and was clearly intimidated by his gaze and his comment, "Haha... Yes yes... " I replied and proceeded with my daily sets of exercises.

He was watching me and was doing his job perfectly well. Never once, he raised his voice at me and was calm throughout. As I was doing my regular exercises, I felt that he was staring at me in a soft and humble look and to be honest, it made me concious about myself and my insecurities started building around me. I don't know why I felt that but yeah, I was sure that it wasn't an uncomfortable stare.

I was done with my exercises for the day and was about to finish it by some meditation, suddenly I heard my name being called by none other than Arpit. I was surprised but I replied to his call. He asked me if I was comfortable around him. I said yes by nodding and a smile appeared on his bearded face.

To be honest, I found Arpit to be very handsome and was also glad that he wasn't a beast like the others described. I would've left the gym if that was the case because I get panic attacks when someone raises their voice at me because of a past trauma I had when I was in high school.

I left the gym and headed towards home and started getting ready for my office. My cook Chithra has already made my favourite breakfast, Idli and sambar which I love the most.
I started having my breakfast and was thinking about whatever happened in the gym today.
Is Arpit really a beast? Or is he misunderstood? Nevertheless, he is handsome to the core and I'll admit, I developed a crush on him, but I shooo away the thoughts and start focusing on my breakfast and my work simultaneously. I finish the breakfast and head straight away to my office in my car. Thankfully I'm on time like always.
