Adhira

I'm just so excited today!
I guess it's the first time ever in my whole 22 years of existence that I'm actually interested in seeing what the day holds.

It's because I got a call yesterday and I've been selected for the position of personal assistant of The Ritvik Malhotra.

To be honest, he looks really ji scary to me, but I guess I'll work with it.

And also, I can finally move into my new place the following weekend.

I'm just so happy today!
I just hope it remains the same.

I'm right now done making the breakfast, which is also my tiffin for today.
I was actually making it for Ria as a thank you, cause she loves the Aloo Parathas that I make, so I made one for me too.

Quickly packing for me and cleaning the kitchen, I went outside to see that Ria was up.

"Good morning Adhu! " She wished with a smile.

"Good Morning! " I wished back.

"I don't understand, why are you so excited to work for a man, whom I haven't ever really seen smile even once? " She asked as she sat on the sofa.

I just shrugged my shoulders, " I don't know. Anyways, here are parathas for you. The pickle is in the drawers there and there is curd in the fridge. " I said and here face glowed in happiness.

"Wow! Thank you so much Adhu. " She said and I smiled in response.

"So, bye now. Gotta go. " I said and walked out.

The office is fifteen minutes, if you go by a vehicle, but since I can't afford it, I'll go walking.
I mean, that's the reason I am ready when there's is still an hour for my work to actually begin.

.
.
.

I finally reached the office and as soon as I entered, I felt a feeling of happiness in me.

All the best Adhira. We'll get through this.
I said to myself and walked in.

Then I went to the receptionist who guided me further and I was supposed to wait for a while since I was pretty early.

I sat in the corridor waiting, when suddenly I felt everyone around me getting tensed and standing up.

So I did the same, and then I realized that it's because Sir had arrived.

.
.
.

After a whole lot of lectures from the receptionist, I finally went to Sir's cabin.

I knocked and entered when I received a response.

"Good Morning Sir. " I greeted as I went inside and stood in front of him.

"Good Morning Ms. Mehta. " He greeted back with a stoic expression.

"So, you're my assistant. And as you suggested, it's on temporary basis for a month. " He said and I nodded my head, recalling the same told to me earlier.

"I hate laziness and arrogance. So if you want to be a permanent person here, you need to be puntual and perfect. In simple words, you need to be like your best friend. " He explained.

"Ok sir. Got it, I'll try my best. " I said, trying to sound calm, but inside I was dreading.

Because I can never be like Ria. I know that. And if says that I need to be like her for being permanent, it's gonna be tough for me.

"Good. So now you may proceed to work. Like a typical boss, I need my coffee on time, so send it. Also, when you go outside, you'll meet a person, his name is Shukla. He'll show you around a bit. " He said and I nodded.

"You may leave now. "

"Ok sir, Thank you. " I said, and before I realize, I had already bowed. Damn, it would've looked weird because he's giving me that amused look.

"Sorry sir, just out of habit. " I said and he nodded.

I immediately left, cause no more embarrassment for today.

I went outside and met the man that Sir told me. He showed me my cabin and I was shocked for a second.

Cause I had a laptop, all for my self, for official purposes.

I kept the bag and decided to ask Shukla Sir to whom I should ask for the coffee that Malhotra Sir had asked, but he had already left.

I went outside to see if I can ask anyone to send a coffee for him, but there was no one.

Finally I spotted two ladies at a corner, maybe gossiping.

"Hello, I'm new here. Can you tell me from where can I get a coffee? " I asked.

"So you are that little kitten who stole our Ria's job. " One of them said eyeing me top to bottom.

"I'm sorry, what? " I asked in confusion.

"You'll get a coffee in the cafeteria which is downstairs on 10th floor. " The other one said.

"Thank you. " I said and walked towards where she told me.

I guess people are already not fond of me, even on my first day. I seriously don't know how will I be able to sustain this job.

It took me some about twenty minutes to just reach there and get a coffee.

Realizing the time, I quickly rushed to his cabin.

"Sir, your coffee. " I said as I placed it on his table.

"Why did you bring the coffee? " He questioned with confusion.

"You asked for it. Didn't you? "

"I did, but you would've told anyone from the cafeteria, they would've brought it. " He said.

"I didn't really know anyone. " I said and he nodded his head.

I stood there for a second before realizing that I need to go back and work.

I went and sat down on the chair and opened the laptop. Since I'm not that tech savvy, it took me a while, but I quickly understood what all I had to do.

I started my work for today, and it included, forwarding mails, talking to some clients and even bringing old files from the storeroom.

And I even understood that a lot of people here don't like me. I tried talking to a one or two, but they just seemed downright rude and well others kinda ignored me.

I didn't actually understood the reason for their behavior, but since I had to work, I didn't pay much attention to it.

I deciding to just pause for a moment as my hands were tired from the typing, when I saw the time.

It was freaking 4 in the evening!
I missed the lunch time.

No doubt my eyes we're feeling too tired.

As I need to be productive fir the remaining day, I decided to have my tiffin that I packed.

Making a little space on the table, I opened the tiffin and just took a bite when the door opened,
" Ms. Mehta, why isn't your telephone working? " He asked as soon as he entered.
