'Shivika' some shots!

My Beloved Past and Present (Part 1)

Hello everyone. I am Nivedita. This is a Two shot story of our Beloved couple Shivika. I was planning to write one from quite a while. So without much preliminary, I will want you'll to read this one and share your views afterwards. ❤

"Oh. God! I so want this to work out. I have waited for this chance for almost two weeks." Annika, a girl in her mid twenties told her friend with whom she was sharing a flat, Chanda.

"Don't worry you will get through it. You have applied properly naa? Just don't take stress and give the interview nicely tomorrow."

Annika had applied for the job of Creative Supervisor in a company. She had been trying to get hold on a job on her own independently after she came back to India from Europe. Her father was adamant to make her practice a job in the Europe itself after getting graduation and then eventually get her married to a nice guy.

Annika couldn't sit well with the suggestion. She wanted to stand on her own feet before even thinking of her marriage proposals. She wanted to earn money of her own. After a lot of persuadings and pleadings with her Mom and Dad, she decided to start her base from India itself, as it was her birthplace and also the place where she had completed her schooling. This place was very close to her heart.

So she requested them to give her few months to prove herself and establish herself on her own money. The idea that was so pleasing then, sounded so tough right now. It was no cake walk to earn a living on her own easily in a city like Mumbai.

She had basically applied at many places, but couldn't fit well with them. At some places she didn't like the work environment and others weren't paying her enough according to her.

That's when an advertisement of a job of Creative supervisor caught her eye in the newspaper and that too from a very renowned company.

The next day Annika got up early, ate her breakfast and hurriedly went to the desired place. She didn't want to be late. There were 25-30 people sitting outside the cabin waiting for their turn, they were informed by the P. A. of the CEO, that Sir himself will be taking all interviews as he was very consequential with the post and the selection of the candidates. And there were only 4 Recruitments to be done so far.

Annika patiently waited for her turn. She was on no. 15. She was hell nervous. She wanted this job at any cost as she has waited a lot for something like this to happen and moreover she was having all the education qualifications that were required for this post.

Her name was called after sometime. She stood up to go inside the cabin. She was now confident enough to crack it. She knocked on the door slightly and a voice came from inside, "Come In!"

She went inside and closed the door behind her back, the guy sitting infront of her had a file infront of him, his face hidden. Having sensing her inside, he removed it and looked directly at her.

She expected anyone but him!

Her face fell. His familiar blue-green eyes and well built body was not so new to her.

He signalled her to sit. She didn't know how to react. She sat quietly on the chair infront of him with hands on her lap and fingers intertwined and pressing each other. She was prepared for the Worst.

He forwarded his hand to ask her file that she was carrying with her, looking directly in her eyes. She was looking anywhere but him! Mentally cursing her luck but making herself strong at the same time, she gave away that file to him. She tried very hard to keep a straight face infront of him.
