THE SINGHANIA SCANDAL

NIKHIL CALLS

  "Don't pickup the phone Jiya"

"But it might be someone important calling?"

She was right it was just that he was so carried away that he didn't want to stop

"Hello, Sagar singhania's office . May I know whose calling?"

"Hey its me Nikhil.I just called to reconfirm the movie timings. It is at 7:15 hrs."

When he didn't get a response he again asked,". Are you there Jiya dear. Is Sagar there ? Let me say hello to him as well."

Jiya handed the phone over to Sagar without saying a word to Nikhil.

She was still in a state of shock at her behaviour. What was happening she no longer had a control over her body.

Her brain was trying to convince her heart that this was wrong but somehow her heart and her body were not listening .

Sagar took the phone from Jiya who had a wierd expression on her face.

"Hello, whose there?"

"Hi Sagar its me Nikhil. I was just speaking with Jiya inviting her for a movie but she seems to be scared of you. Don't behave as a typical boss and allow her to spend time with friends."

"Since when have you been friends with her? Infact I don't recall any girl being your friend even in college?"

"Well the truth is I like her but she is only ready for friendship. Hence I suggested we be friends. Well just allow her to leave office on time tomoorow since we have a movie show in the evening. Thanks buddy"

Sagar was surprised at Nikhil's admission. He was also angry with Jiya who was going out with his friend but a moment back she had been kissing him passionately. What sort of girl was she? Maybe she was no different than rest of the others.

"Sagar what did nikhil say?"

"Well your new boyfriend wanted me to allow you to go home early so that you could get ready for your movie date?"

"Nikhil is not my boyfriend."

"Then why are you going on a date with him?"

"Well he is a friend and friends can go out together?"

Sagar was furious.

"Don't fool me Jiya? Nikhil doesn't do friendships and all. He believes only in sex and not platonic friendships. I have warned you before and am warning you for the last time. He is too much experienced to play friendship with you. He wants you and sooner or later you are going up to end up in his bed whether you like it or not. On the other hand who am I to advise you? maybe you want to sleep with him?"

Before he could complete his sentence she had slapped him.

"How dare you say such things about me? first of all I am not a child but a grown woman. And secondly keep your filthy opinions to yourself"

Jiya was screaming at the top of her voice. She was so angry that he could see her trembling.

"You may be my boss but I will not have you commenting on my personal life. I quit this job"

"To hell with what you say. You have signed a contract and you will abide by it."

"I can say the contract can go to hell but I believe in commitment and I will complete my tenure but for now I am leaving."

Jiya ran out of her office and took a taxi home. The entire distance from office to home she was crying.
