THE WAY WE LOVED

Chapter 3: Now It's A Shitty Life After All

*picture of Neha's work outfit above*

...

Neha couldn't believe this. The nerve of that guy! How could he just show up at her doorway in the middle of the night? Unbelievable!

Angered and exhausted, Neha lied down on the couch; her legs couldn't carry her any further. She closed her eyes and once again the handsome face filled her dreams.

Flashback:

The party was in full swing as the dj played the rocking music. Neha always loved to dance. She was at the centre of the crowd, surrounded by her friends at the school reunion, to which they had passes to. She slowly lost herself in the music and was moving her body when a strong hand grabbed her waist and spun her around.

"Wow you really can dance," Suraj whispered in her ear. Neha giggled.

"And you definitely cannot." She poked her tongue at him.

But who cared at that moment? Both simply had fun all night. Soon enough the music ended. It was time to go home.

Neha looked at her best friend and smiled. "I had a great time tonight Suraj."

"Me too Nehu. Come here," and with that he pulled her into a tight hug.

Being there in Suraj's arms gave Neha a warm fuzzy feeling in her heart. She felt like it was the most important place to be. She felt safe. She felt ridiculously happy.

"Is this really happening to me?" Neha looked up and saw Suraj's smiling face. Her heart did a mini somersault just at seeing his face. That's when she knew.

"Oh dear lord, I'm in love."

End of Flashback.

...

The sound of alarm woke Neha up. Still tired, Neha looked at her watch groggily.

"Oh bloody hell, I'm LATE!" She screamed and rushed to her bathroom. Boss will be so pissed. Dressing up in a record fifteen minutes, she put on her favorite black top and paired it with red trousers. Grabbing her purse, she searched her medicine cabinet. Grabbing two Advil, Neha put on her black stilettoes, locked her apartment and rushed to work.

Neha sat down on her chair. She was really late and would probably be skewered by her boss; she thought and opened her laptop.

"Boss is in a shitty mood today, beware yaar," Priya, her best friend and colleague sat down beside her and handed her a coffee "Figured you might need it."

"See this is why I love you." Neha blew her a kiss and sipped on her coffee.

"Ugh, such lesbian vibes! So I will see you tonight at Rahul's party right?"

"Not really in a mood Priya."

"Oh please, you have to come. My boyfriend is throwing a party after ages, everyone's coming. Pretty please?"

"Oh stop batting your eyelashes. Fine I'll come."

"Yay! See ya then." Priya hugged Neha and left.

Minutes later Neha was sitting infront her boss, creative editor of Today magazine. She had been working here since she graduated, and from a mere journalist she has slowly but steadily risen to the position of assistant creative editor.

"Neha I have some important work for you."

"Don't you always Monak?" Neha smirked and glared at her boss, who had been her friend since college.

"Enough with the sarcasm Neha. Already having a shitty day."

"Got that earlier. Girlfriend?"

"Don't ask. Ok now listen I'm taking a few days off and you are in charge. The next week's issue is almost ready, you only need to do the finishing touches. Meanwhile we have a rich guy who is interested in investing in our magazine. You need to meet up with him tomorrow and pitch our company's ideals. This investment would really mean a lot to us. Fine with you?"

"Yeah sure. Who is the rich snob anyway?"

"Owner of some Gamezone Company. Pretty amazing. Guy single handedly started a game company and within four years turned it into an empire. You know him?"

"Nope. Who is this legend?"

"Suraj Mehta."

At that moment Neha's jaw dropped, "You can't be fucking serious."
