●Diya

I was in the kitchen helping mumma with the dishes because papa had already invited his friend Devkaran uncle and his family for dinner I guess he is too eager to meet him after all they have been friends for half of their life. They had constantly been in touch even when we were in Lucknow but I always avoided meeting them because as soon as we met he would start talking about how he wants me as his daughter-in-law I don't get what's their obsession with me getting married to their son. But still I had met him a few times but luckily his son went abroad so I didn't need to meet him and when he was here I would avoid going to any function which he attended

"So how was your interview" my mom asked "Good" I said and my thought ran back to the interview I still feel that I had seen my boss somewhere before his face was too familiar I even stared at him during the interview God that was embarrassing . He didn't even bother introducing himself maybe he was too fed from that after interviewing several candidate maybe I should search about him afterall I don't even know who took over Malhotra Group of Industries and what's the companies name I am hoping to work for now. I washed my hands and took my phone to search for it but
suddenly my phone rang

Diya :Hello
Unknown: Is this Diya Mehra speaking?  
Diya: Yes
Unknown: Ma'am i am speaking from    Raizada Group of Industries to inform you that you are appointed as the PA of Mr.Raizada and you are expected to join from tomorrow morning at 8 am
Diya: Ohh Thank u ma'am

"Whose call was it diya?" Mumma asked
"Work call mummy I got the job" I told her." Oh that's good I was just thinking of  asking your papa's friend to appoint you in his company if u didn't get the job" my mom said. "Guess u don't need to now I got the job in Raizada industries" I told her proud of myself . "But you went to Malhotra Group of Industries for interview how come u get the job in Raizada Industries and another thing Raizada industries is the company of your papa's friend ullu" my mom said
And that's when it hit me Raizada Group of Industries is actually Dev uncle's company and that's why the CEO was looking familiar!!
What the hell just happened I was too confused 
WAITTT!!!That means I have to work under him as his PA all day long and I can't even avoid him Oh god why is my luck not in my side I mean its my luck it should be in my side
What am I going to do now?? Did he recognise me??If he did why did he appoint me??
Did he secretly fell in love with me during childhood and kept eye on me and when he knew I am giving an interview in Malhotra Group of Industries he took over the company to be near me?? Is it all his plan to marry me??
What am I even thinking? Have I gone mad??
"Diyaa"I heard my mom call me "HAA mummy boliye"
(Yes mom say)
"Darwaza kholo beta kabse bell baj raha hai"
(Open the door the door bell has been ringing since some time)
Jii mummy
(Ok)
I opened the door and there he was my old neighbour and new boss standing tall and proud.
He seemed shocked to see me I greeted his parents and his sister and welcomed them inside.
Meanwhile papa and bhaiya who were setting the dining table came and greeted them. Papa was very happy to meet his friend mummy was also talking to Geetanjali aunty and bhaiya and I were talking to anusuya as anusuya was my classmate when we were kids and bhaiya was very familiar with her afterall we used to play together all the time even Siddhant used to play with us when we were kids but he used to tease me alot so we got into fight quite often and eversince our parents started with the marriage talks we got awkward as we grew up and he went to London so we hardly meet and as a result I didn't even recognise him today!
All this while I and Siddhant exchanged a few smile whenever our eyes met and that's when I noticed that bhai was completely involved with anusuya and her talks. Was something going on between them? cause it was siddhant we didn't meet but we used to meet anusuya many times in function especially bhaiya because he used to go to their family function when I didn't agree to go with papa mumma. Am I really missing something? I need to talk to bhaiya tonight I can't miss a love story that too my brother's not any chance!
