AUTHOR'S POV


"And I was so embarrassed at that time...god..." Mishti and Shivam both chuckled as they listened to Kamla, the servant who do all other chores of the Mansion.

This morning Mishti woke up by the sound of loud knocking on her door. Shivam made Mishti meet Kamla who is quite an old lady maybe in her 50s and she has worked here for almost 10 years.

Kamla is cheerful and full of life and tells a lot of jokes. Mishti liked her at the instant. And the strange thing is that she knows what 'family business' Ritwik do and she isn't bothered by it.

When Mishti asked her a few minutes ago that why isn't she afraid of these men then she told 'they are not that bad to be afraid of unless you poke your nose in their business'.

Mishti knew Shivam was a bit fazed by her question but she can't help feeling unsecure at this place. Shivam want Mishti to feel at ease and he has told her a lot of times that he's here to help her with anything. And he is quite around her age so they fit in perfectly.

"Ok ladies...I'm off to work now." And Shivam was out of the Mansion like that.

"You look quite young Mishti. What are you? 28?"

"25" Mishti replied Kamla and she smiled in return.

"You are the same age as Shivam. And you both are quite perfect for each other. Wanna date that hot guy?" Mishti's eyes widened.

"No, not at all. What the hell are you saying?" Mishti was a bit flushed but Kamla only chuckled in response. She doesn't know why ritwik bring her here and what his motives are. But then Mishti thought maybe Ritwik wouldn't have a problem if Mishti date someone....he just want her for sex right? Once he get it he wouldn't even come near Mishti. That's what his actions say. But it isn't gonna happen with Mishti's own wish. That's for sure.

After finishing her breakfast, Mishti didn't know what to do as she has nothing for now so she decided to help Kamla. And for another hour, she gossiped with her and passed the time.

Kamla lives alone, she never had a family except her brother who now lives in another country with his wife and son. Her husband left her for some other girl many years ago and she never ever decided again to settle. She has no one and that is sad because Kamla seems so caring and sweet, how can someone leave her? Out of all these things, Kamla told Mishti many things about herself and her experience of working here.

According to her Ritwik has never talked with her for long enough to get to know each other. Ritwik is still a puzzle for Kamla even after all these years. He opens up only with Om or his close ones. But that doesn't mean he shouts or behaves wrongly with anyone. He just doesn't like to talk out of his business, From there Mishti assumed that Ritwik isn't someone who easily open up with others.

After some time Mishti left the place to meet Rohan again. He told her that he would take her to a university today to ask for entrance exam or some scholarship if they'll be providing it to the transfer students.

He picked her from the bus stop and from there they went together. She purposely didn't gave him her address as she doesn't want people around her to involve in any way with Ritwik. Soon they were inside the University and were talking with the receptionist.

She was saying something to Rohan when suddenly Mishti noticed a familiar figure coming out of The Director's office.

Ritwik. Her breath hitched in her throat. Wasn't he out of the city for two days? And it's the afternoon of second day. Damn! Out of all the places he has to show up here. But what could he be doing here at the place like this? As if he would tell her that...Whatever, she should hide her face before he see her. Then urgently she turn her back to him while he was still busy staring ahead. She was praying he would leave as soon as possible.

"Good day Mr. Noon." The receptionist called when he went past Mishti. She released her breath once he pass her without looking at her face. But then he stopped in his racks for a moment and before Mishti can again hide her face, he turn around.

'Mishti, what are you doing here?" That got attention of Rohan and the receptionist.

Ritwik was looking like A Greek God in his business suit, his hands tucked in the pockets. And he was not alone, Om was here to.

"Who's that?" Ritwik was so straightforward asking for Rohan when he noticed that Mishti is here with him.

"He..uh...is a friend. And I'm here for my admission." She replied and he casually nodded his head.

"Om, go ahead. I'm coming in a few." Ritwik said and Om did like wise.

Then Ritwik opened his phone and called someone still standing at a distance from her.

"Mr. Jain, someone of my known is here for an admission. I want all paper work done as soon as possible and whole the fee details will be sent to me. Am I clear?" He said in the phone and Mishti's eyes widened hearing this is he talking about her? Ofcourse he is. With that Ritwik cut the call and went towards the exit. Mr. Jain, He's someone from the management of this institute. He called him...

And then everything happened in matter of seconds. Receptionist didn't even ask for any other detail and filled Mishti's name in the computer for her registration.

Rohan asked her who was that and she told it was Ritwik. Even Rohan was impressed by the fact how much power Ritwik hold. But that doesn't matter to Mishti. She don't want him to pay for her. Why did he have to do all this? Never in million thoughts she imagined her life like this. A person like Ritwik taking care of her expenses. He's not her guardian who would give her money. Heck. He is her employer. And he should act like it shouldn't he? But then she remember the day he kissed her so passionately and the night...they have a chemistry she knows that but still...he shouldn't have done that. She would talk to him once she's home, she mentally made a note.

Then Rohan went for his work leaving Mishti alone at the college gate. She would be starting from monday and that would be after four days. Now she has to go back. With that thought she catch a cab and went to the Mansion. There she saw the same black Range Rover Ritwik used to take everywhere he goes. It's not like he doesn't have other cars but it seems his favourite. That means he is at home. Mishti Went in with the hope of talking to him about the scene happened earlier, She dropped her purse in her room and then went upstairs to find Ritwik.!
