OBSESSION (COMPLETED)✔

CHAPTER 12

Shruti dropped Rhea at the entrance of a two-wheeler show room. Rhea had planned to take a cab here but since Shruti was going for work she suggested dropping Rhea off here. Rhea thanked her and Shruti drives away to her work. Rhea comes in the showroom and her jaw dropped. This showroom is unlike the showrooms back in Lucknow. She quickly composes herself and walks towards the scooty section.

After few minutes of looking around a sales man approached her 'May I help you Maam?' he asked politely.

For a minute, Rhea debated if she should or should not then she decides it will be better to take help, it be easier and faster. She nods her head. Salesman asked her the kind of scooty she wishes to buy, she gives the description and the Salesman nods his head and leads her towards the range of scootys.

Fifteen minutes later, Rhea had chosen the desired scooty and she is proud of it. She takes a quick selfie to send it to her father and then followed the salesman to the counter where she is to complete the formalities.

'Tomorrow you will get the Scooty, Maam' the salesman said from behind the counter. Rhea nods her head happily. The salesman gives her the receipt, she smiles widely taking it. For some reason, she felt immerse pride, her first scooter. Soon she will start her internship and will get her first salary she has planned to do something special for her father. Since she lost her mother, Hashim, had selflessly taken care of her. Now, it's her turn to do something special for him.

Shad takes a small box from among his luggage (he is yet to unpack), he smiles taking out a delicate golden sideway star pendent necklace. He got this for Eifad, he quickly writes a note

"You are the star of my life"

He stuffs it in with the necklace in the box, and quickly gift wrapped it neatly. He will give this to her and surprise her tonight.

The door-bell rings and Fatima goes to open the door. She frowns on seeing Eifad on the other side. Fatima doesn't like Eifad and despises her coming here. Eifad formally greets her and entered the apartment.

Shad comes out from his room, he smiles on seeing Eifad. Ignoring everyone else she walks towards Shad with a smile. Fatima watch them with a scowl on her face.

'You here? You didn't go for work?' Shad asked surprised. Eifad smiles and hands him a paper, Shad looked at it confused. He reads and smiles, it is an offer letter for him to join the hospital. Before he could respond Eifad takes the paper from him and his smile dropped.

'Today sharp 3pm, your interview. Clear it and get this offer letter' she said simply. Shad is shocked. Today 3pm and now it's 9am, he has so less time to prepare how will he manage. Before he could respond Eifad turns around and leaves.

After Eifad leaves, Fatima asked Shad why she was here. After Shad, had said about the interview and Eifad's offer Fatima instantly asked him to decline the offer. As it is Eifad keeps sticking to her son and now she will be with him even at work, only there she won't be able to keep an eye on her son and the Psycho Eifad.

'Ma! Why should I refuse? Hooda Red Cross Hospital is one of the best hospitals in Delhi, only a fool will reject working there. Plus, it is my best friend's hospital. It is much better than that idiotic hospital I used to work.' Shad said and rushed into his room to prepare for the interview. Eifad has given him an excellent opportunity by offering the job, but he will not misuse the fact that he is best friend of the owner of the hospital. He has decided to crack the job on his merit.

Eifad gets into her car, taking out her phone she dials, Mr. D'Souza, the head of HR department.

'Hello, Mr. D'Souza. There is a candidate coming around 3pm for interview. Mr. Shad Ali Siddique. No matter what happens I want him hired. Make sure he does and if not then you can kiss your job good bye' Eifad said sternly on phone. Mr. D'Souza in his quivering voice assured her that Shad will definitely be selected. Eifad smirks as she cuts the call.

Before going for training Shad was working in a third-class hospital, that time Eifad had wanted to hire him in her hospital but the board members didn't agree stating he wasn't qualified enough. Now, Eifad has ensured he gets hired through the HR department. Even the board members now can't interfere. She leans back resting her head against the seat. She tilts her head and looks out from the window, she smiles- Now she will have Shad working under her, he will not only be with her at home but also at work.
