Destined Soulmate

D I Y A

I was in my room thinking of everything that happened today getting a job my boss turning out to be my childhood neighbour with whom my marriage is arranged and whom I have avoided since then , his father talking about our marriage and especially the moment we shared in the garden. God! I can't stop thinking about it the way teased me recalling our childhood , the way he looked into my eyes like they were the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, the way he took his steps towards me there was something I can't explain.
I am already feeling nervous thinking about tomorrow. I think i should sleep by now afterall it's already 11 pm and I can't afford to be late on the first day of work.

"Mummy nasta ready hogaya kya?? Mujhe late hojayega already 7 bajgaye hai " I was screaming from my room
"Nasta kabka ready hai ab tum niche aajao"I heard my mom and went downstairs towards the dinning table .
"Khud late uthti ho aur blame naste ko kar rahi ho" mumma was muttering behind me.
"Mumma kal se jaldi uthungi pakka" I assured her with a smile. She glanced at me gave me my breakfast and said "Haa Haa bachpan se yehi kehkar sabko pagal bana rahi ho tum yeh sab apne papa ko bolna mujhe nahi"
"Papa ko kya bolu woh toh sidha aakar fan band kar dete hai" I replied
"Achha achha abhi nashta karlo wanna late ho jayega"mumma suggested
"Ha ha kyun nahi apne pati ki baat aai toh kitni jaldi topic change karliya wah" mumma laughed listening to me
"Achha abhi mein jati hoon bye" I told and left for office not before eating dahi sakkar though.

It took almost half an hour to reach here. I asked the receptionist Tia Verma who showed me the way to the CEO's cabin and I was now outside the cabin. I knocked the door.After Siddhant said come in I entered the cabin. Well the office was beautiful with the CEO's table in the middle of the room large windows and a pair of sofa on the side.



And there he was sitting in his chair proudly looking as handsome as possible in dressed in blue suit wearing glasses and now I know why people say man look good with glasses on. He looks flawless or should I say ravishing. He cleared his throat and I realised my action. "Good morning Sir" I greeted him afterall I need to be professional. He just nodded his head as a reply. Looks like he is the arrogant type of boss who thinks he will be robbed he speaks nicely to his employee huh! I mentally talked to myself.



"So from now on its your job to manage my schedule and appointments, check the documents I need to sign, handle my emails, attend the formal meetings and parties with me and most importantly bring me my coffee in the morning at sharp 8:30 am" he stated all my works while I was processing them. "Yes sir" I nodded my head. He glanced at his watch and spoke again "its already 8:10 Miss Mehra". I understood what he ment but I don't know where the coffee machine is and as if he magically read my mind he said "Miss Tia is still outside she will show you around".I nodded and walked outside.

"So Miss Mehra-"
"Miss Verma you can call me Diya" i hurriedly said.
"Then u should also call me Tia" she said with a smile I nodded my head.
She showed me around the office and gave me some tips about our boss saying I should stay as far as possible from him and never make a mistake because he doesn't tolerate even a single mistake. Then I made my boss his coffee gave it to him and currently I am sitting infront of the computer in my cabin which is opposite to the CEO's office.

I was working on the files and now I am getting annoyed as there is too much work for the first day thank god one of the meeting got cancelled because of the clients personal reason. Actually the client is going to get a divorce today due to which the meeting was postponed I got that information from Lavanya who works in the marketing department. I am friend with her now my socialising skill are quite good as not only lavanya but tia and manav who is also from the marketing department is also my friend now. Manav and lavanya are friends since school and even got job at the same place they are quite lucky now I am missing my school friends especially manya my best friend.

As I was thinking all this the intercom rang. "Come to my office" I heard Siddhant's voice as soon as I picked the call. I stood up and knocked his door. "Come in" I heard. "You asked for me sir?" I said. "Yes my dada dadi are returned from their trip today and they invited u to dinner today"he looked at me and replied. I looked at my outfit and thought for some seconds and said "OK I will reach there at time"
"You can come with me afterall I am going there as well" he suggested
"No need for that I will need to change so I will go home first and then go to your place"I said again
"Ok then call me when you get ready then I will pick you up"he said blankly
"Ok if that suits you" I replied.
"You can go home if u have finished your work otherwise it will be late"he said looking at some files
"I still have some mails to check I will leave completing them" I answered
"Hmm" he replied looking at his watch.

I came back to my cabin quickly finished my work and again knocked in his cabin "Come in" I heard and entered. "I have completed my work and I am leaving for home" I said in a breath and he just nodded his head. Will his height decrease if he speaks more than a word??
"Do you have anything else to say?" He asked
"Ohh yes actually your number.."
"What?"he asked as if I was asking him to marry me.
"You told me to call u to pick me up so your number"i replied in a duh tone
"Oh yes give me your phone I will save it" he suggested I gave him my phone then I left after he gave me his number.

"Mummy mein kya pehnu kuch samaj nahi aaraha" I whined looking to mummy.
"Itne sare kapde hai par akal nahi hai"mummy shouted "Mummy yar badhme datna abhi kapde nikal dijiye"
I made a puppy face
"Woh pink color ki anarkali pehen jo pichle mahine kharida tha" Mummy suggested and then I started getting ready. I looked in the mirror put on my bindi and tadaa I was ready.



Then I picked up my phone to call Siddhant he picked the call after a few second.
"Hello" I spoke
"Who is this?"he asked
"It's me diya"I answered didn't he recognise my voice
"Ohh yeah are u ready?"He asked
"Yes I am ready"
"Oh ok I will reach in some time wait till then" he said. As if I had other options
"Hmm" I said and cut the call
I am really nervous to meet his grandparents after all our grandparents suggested on our marriage when we were kids but unfortunately my dadi died when I was 10 and dadu passes away a year after we moved to lucknow. I don't know that they will talk about what if they pressurise me about marriage. Its not that I never want to get married but I just want to take my time.
No I can't get nervous thinking about that as they have never done that. I need to calm down afterall all is well.
