Ashes Of Desire

❀ He's Back ❀

Reva

Entering into the cafe, I was fuming with anger. The only reason I accepted this deal was that the mighty Atharva Raisinghania won't be handling it, he doesn't even stay in Mumbai, why is he back. Why after 7 years?

I am damn sure that Shyra knew that he was back. She is gone now, I won't leave her. Stepping in the kitchen I shouted "Shyra!!"

"Thank Goodness you are here. Come here and help me quickly, two of the waitresses are on leave, there is Chaos happening here. Wear an apron and serve this of Table 3, we'll talk afterwards." She said while flipping some pancakes.

I was shocked would be an understatement but you should never mess with her when she's at work, so I quietly wore an apron and went back outside in the hall to serve the customers.

She was right it is packed here, sighing I went towards table to serve,

"Reva?!!" I heard someone call me, as I turned I saw Neha from my college, she was a bitch to everyone. This day can't get any worse. She came towards me and said dramatically " My God!! You are a waitress here, the attitude you gave back in college as if you are a queen or something now here you are cleaning dishes" she laughed and continued "If you need any financial help you can ask me I'll ask my daddy to help you sweetie afterall we were classmates"

"I see you still live off your parents and are nothing but a waste of space. You don't have to worry about me, this is my card come to my company if you want a job I think the canteen of my company needs a waitress try giving an interview" I gave her my card and she was walking away from embarrassment but I called her again "also Neha never ever show this attitude to me or you'll regret the day you met me, I'm not someone who will see wrong happening to anyone so it's better for you if you don't show your face to me next time" I said and walked away and continued my work.

After working 2 hours I'm hella tired, we just closed the cafe and now are lazily sitting.

"Thank you for today, I'm tired now" Shyra said while stretching her arms.

"Thank you and all nhi chahiye Tera chup chap ajj ki mehnat ke liye pay karna mujhe" I said.
(Don't give me your thank you, just pay me for today's work)

"Ok madam what do you want?" She asked. I smirked as I only wanted to hear this.
"Nothing much just tell me when did you get to know that Atharva is back in Mumbai?" I asked her now being serious.

"Uhmm W-what I think I left the gas on let me go and check" she said stuttered and was about to get up.

"SHYRA AGRAWAL SIT DOWN AND TELL ME THE TRUTH" I spoke calmly but dangerously.

"Ok ok I will. I got to know last week the people in our school group chats were talking and someone said that Atharva is planning to shift Mumbai... Permanently. I didn't tell you because you were busy with your new project and I thought that it's being 7 years and I think the hard feelings you had for each other might have gone in these years, also it's not like you both will meet each other or something" She explained.

" I will never forget what he did to me 7 years earlier, and I will have to face him because the new hotel chain we were establishing is with The Great Raisinghania group, I accepted this deal as it was important and I thought it will be under the Mumbai Headquarter, I won't have to deal with him, but he is back and head of this project and today he bloody dared to order me around and even questioned my abilities" I hissed with anger dripping through my voice.

"What you met him ? When ? " She questioned. "Please don't tell me you murdered him right away"

"Why are you so dramatic all the time and I met him and I began telling her about today's incident...."

6 hours earlier

I entered the Raisinghania Group building, I was running 10 minutes late as the traffic in Mumbai is no joke and even my car broke down.

Just as I entered the Meeting room, I noticed that everyone was present and were waiting for me, while taking my seat  "I'm sorry for the dealy Mr. Singh my car broke down" I apologised to Mr. Singh he was Director of this branch, but his back was facing me as he was standing near the glass window.

" Save your excuses for another time Ms. Malhotra we all are here to do buisness, I hope next time we can expect professionalism from your side and if you still can't make it happen then tell us because I don't know about you but our time is important" He said and turned around but he was not Mr Singh

He was none other that My enemy, my past the person I hate with every fiber of my body - ATHARVA RAISINGHANIA.
