Rucha Pov:
I reached the building and it's has a such a calm aura, it is more beautiful than that of those pics I have seen in the newspaper.
Who would have thought a middle class girl like me would have a opportunity. I don't know why but I am so emotional right now, but I don't want to ruin my impression so I am going to pretend like i am not shocked and mesmerized by this moment at all (i want to cry)
I slowly enter the main office and I see so many people waiting on the interview, now this made me even more nervous than i already was, those thoughts started coming up in my head again
"Am I not good enough?"
"These people are so much more better than me"
" I won't be able to crack this"
"You are good for nothing"
Suddenly a loud voice called my name and snapped me back out from my thoughts
" Miss rucha, Sir is calling you"
Yes, i started picking all my important documents but
" You don't need those miss"
" But they are important"
" Sir Only wants to talk with you"
that's weird but who cares.
I knock
*Knock*
" Come in"
I hear a deep but calm voice
" Hello sir, Nice to meet you, my name is ru-
" I know, sit"
he has to be from Pune, because where else would he get that attitude from, I have heard a lot about him from the newspapers
"Manas Kulkarni, the CEO and founder of INARA announces a new launch,"
" Manas Kulkarni, 30 under 30"
" Manas Kulkarni is said to be one of the most strict and attentive bosses"
" It's a nightmare to work with him, says a employee from INARA INDUSTRIES"
"I value discipline more than anything else, says the CEO of INARA INDUSTRIES"
Well, You can't possibly have a good image of him after hearing all these feedbacks, but I am not one to give up, respect is the most important thing for me, i would rather loose all the money than be humiliated by a man.
I try to say something again
" I am so honoured to be he-
" You had a lot to say about My company in your resume though, miss- what is your name again?"
Oh, so the newspapers were right about him, he is a asshole.
I still try to remain professional (something this man definitely can't do)
" Umm my name is Rucha and yes I did write some constructive criticism in my resume, you asked for the changes and I told you, I can't belive you could possibly say..............
Manas Pov:
i couldn't hear what she was saying, it was like I was taken aback or....or... mesmerized?
Her lips were like ripe cherries,Every word that passed through them seemed to carry a melody, captivating the room
She carried herself with an air of confidence that was as captivating as her beauty. Her gaze was like a fiery ember,
Her hair flowed like strands of silk, going down her shoulders in a mesmerizing manner of elegance.
As she spoke, her words flowed effortlessly, carrying with them a certain grace and charm that mesmerized anyone who would hear it
I just stared at her, the whole time she was talking
"Snap out of it manas, you are not a fucking teenage lovesick boy, you are the MANAS KULKARNI"
I snapped myself back and said something I never thought I would say in my entire existence of 26 years
"You are hired"
( Bhai why did I slay this so hard 💀?)
Megha POV
Finally back from London finishing my MBA...will have to look into a firm to work now, but before that I am going to meet Manu dada after sooo sooo long..Manu dada mhanje Manas re, my brother who sticked with me throughout all my thick and thin, supported me when my parents did not want me to pursue what I liked
As I enter the gates of Inara,quite a large empire our parents worked hard to build up and just got a sense of history for a while about how much hardwork it took to build and expand this business
*Megha enters his office and gives Manas a tight hug... the siblings get emotional seeing each other almost after 3 years and Megha cried s waterfall out of her eyes*
"Why did u return this early? Couldn't let me enjoy peace?"Says Manas
"Kutree"
"Okok stop...it's been a long time, I truly missed you my annoying but cute sister"
"I missed u too re"
It was all sentimental until a man entered the scene
"Sir, I have planned ur schedule for the day and-"
I was all teary and my nose flowing and a really good looking guy just entered the office...he caught my eye as soon as I saw him..his eyes seemed obnoxious, a sharp jawline and his hands, veiny that were suited on by a silver elegant watch and the black suit which couldn't make him look more better.
"Yes Akash, I will come back to u in a few mins" says Manas
Akash...A name as handsomely as his face 👀
I just stood staring at him with my bloodshot teary eyes and my nose still running...it was soo embarrassing my godd why do I end up in such a position everytime 😭🥲
He takes out a handkerchief out of his pocket and hands it over to me...I take that and wipe my nose
"Thank you" was all I could say to him
I just returned from London and fell for a guy, that too in my BROTHER'S OFFICE...can life be anymore eventful?
But he had a poker face throughout...he kinda seemed rude...I ain't going to fall for him
Come to your senses Megha, WAKE UP
Akash POV
I have worked with Manas sir for 5yrs..Not even once did I feel he looked down upon me, we were almost like friends
He helped me knowing my Father's condition and that's what I am immensely grateful for
*Flasbackzz*
My Father worked at the Mansion of the Kulkarnis as a gardener...I was still in my 12th class and my sister 8th, Father was paid enough to let us have a days meal but my mother never understood the hardwork he puts through....She always complained about being so poor and not getting enough jewellery for her, Pappa loves her so much and still tries to fulfill her demands but she was still unsatisfied.
One day, My Sister fell ill due to a Pancreas tail...She had to be urgently operated on and The hospital fees went upto 30 lakhs, which was a huge amount for us
But When Manas sir heard about this, He promised to pay for my college fees and also provide me employment.
No matter how tough and cold he looks on the outside...He is a very kind hearted person who naively helps on seeing others suffer.
*Back to Present*
Fortunately due to his Great Help...we are all financially stable and secure
But My Mother as usual sits and Nags at my Father that her friends still get more diamond jewellery sets and things like that went on for years.
Seeing my Father still suffer I could never smile my whole life...Never ever.
As I entered Manas sir's office with his schedule...I saw a Girl, She was crying and it kind of made my heart sink to see her sad
I did not know what to do so I took out my Handkerchief and gave it to her for wiping her tears
"Thankyou" she said being all teary eyed
Manas sir introduced me to her and I left the office
In the hallway I stood, Could not stop thinking of her, She was so Cute and I could feel my heart beat for the first time in 20 years
And unknowingly, I caught myself smiling, a Smile that I could not bring myself up for since 5 years
