NOT HIS BRIDE

16. WHO'S THE TRAITOR?

꧁ इस दिल को तूने मुश्कुइल में डाला
इस उम्र में ही दिल धड़कता है
मिलने जुलने को यह तडपता है꧂

[You put this heart in trouble
The heart beats only at this age
It yearns to meet]

ANIKA'S POV

Everywhere I could see was chaos and people were preparing for an interview, that was going to be organized at the university, they were saying it was a huge company and if we got selected it would be a lottery for us, I asked Juliet if she is going to try,

"Are you also going to give this interview?"

"Yeah, of course, I would, who would miss this opportunity" she said enthusiastically, she continued by saying, "I have heard that the CEO is very handsome, and surprisingly, he is an Indian" She said winking, what does she mean? Are Indian people not handsome? Suddenly I remembered him, I don't know why but I was not able to forget him, in the last recent days he hadn't troubled me and that day when I recalled a few weeks ago

FLASHBACK

"I suggest her bed rest for at least two weeks, it's looking like she has taken a lot of stress due to which she is not having enough food and sleep, required for her, please take care of her mental health MR. Raghuvanshi" The doctor said to him and I was just looking at the floor as if it was the hottest thing in that room, the real reason was that I was responsible for this condition and now I am feeling like a burden. I closed my eyes now and was waiting for him to go out but instead, he started shouting, "Can you not take care of yourself!?" Why does he care I thought and those words left my lips also, "Why do you care", A question was visible in his eyes, but he didn't say anything after that and left the room. A strange and awkward feeling got into my heart after that day he took care of my food and everything till I got well enough to do things by myself and after he didn't bother me that much Then when he came home drunk home one day and spoke his heart out, I felt sad...

PRESENT

I was staring at the notice till now and thinking everything but was jerked off when she called me out and snapped a finger in front of me, "Kha kho gyi h meri mohtarmaa" and with this, she gave me a tight hug, I looked at her, my safe place and my everything, she got her job transferred here just because of me, I can't imagine my life without her

(Where were you lost, mam?)

"Umm no- nowhere," I said

She looked at me and then her eyes fell on the poster on the wall, "Don't say you are going to ignore this poster!?"

I looked at her she was still dramatic as always, Rohini please, it's looking like this is a massive company and I am just pursuing my degree with no experience here, I don't think-

She cut me off in the middle of the sentence, "Are you backing off without even trying? I do not see my old Anika, where is she, she would have made a wise decision cause she is smart and you are totally dumb"

I just glared at her and she said sorry with capturing ears with her hands she was so cute, I giggled and was going to move forward but she again started, "I am registering you for the interview you are going no more further discussion" Oh my god this girl I can't defeat her, ok I should give a try. With that, I just nodded and we went towards her car, to be honest, his company is really well, Rohini got her job only 3 and a half months ago and till now she has enough money to buy a house on rent here in England and on top of that a car she purchased in India, it's not that much modern but yet a car is a car.
