16. New job, a new beginning

Keerthi's Pov

I was finding a hard time unable to contact him. All my efforts went in vain, Right from the party to the hospital and now in college too. with no other option left, I decided to visit his house directly

After a long battle, at last, I found his new house. When I entered his house to my dismay I found him exchanging ring with a girl. I could not stand at the sight of him with another girl. I ran out of his house right away crying all along the way to my home.

***** After two years *****

"Keerthi?", a loud voice penetrated my ears. It was none other than Harini who stood by my side in all my thick and thin parts of life. Other than her none of my friends or family knew about Gautham.

"yeah", I answered crawling to the other side of the bed.

"am I an alarm for you? wake up, you sleepy head, Don't you remember that you have a job interview today?", as she yelled at me I woke up instantly on realization.

"Now what am I going to do, I have to reach there in an hour", I exclaimed at her out of fright.

"don't panic, my friend Gautham works in the same company I have asked him out to hold up the situation there for a few more minutes and in the meantime, you should reach there."

When she started the name Gautham, I was taken aback for a few seconds. Although 2 years have been passed I could not move on, his memories always haunted me. When people used to say it's hard to forget ones, 1st love, I used to laugh at them but now none of them knows better than me. Then I came back to my senses when Harini called me out to get back my attention.

I wore my favorite navy blue color shirt and white denim. I also applied less makeup to make myself presentable. Slipping into my black heels I made my way to the office.

On my way, to my dismay, I got stuck in traffic. Unaware of what to do I headed straight to the place where the road was blocked. When I reached the spot I found a man quarreling with a woman standing by her car. The woman looked a bit innocent, she had a hard time managing the situation. She was literally pleading him to forgive her but that man wants to drag her to the police station and earn fame. The people surrounded them also blindly believed the lies of this man just because the women offered money for the loss.

As the situation prolonged the man held the women's hand to drag her to the police station. Unable to bear the sight of it, I stopped the man.

"who are you miss young lady? It's none of your business you better stay away" the man said to me in a loud voice.

I faked my identity as police and helped the women. The woman thanked me and introduced herself to be Wincy. She offered me a lift after hearing out my situation. But due to all these commotions I reached there late and failed to attend the interview. When I walked down the stairs disheartened, to my surprise I found Wincy waiting at the parking lot for me.

"don't tell me that you have been waiting for me all this time!", I exclaimed at her narrowing my eyes to slit.

"I just felt that I must know the result of the interview before I bid goodbye to you"

"I didn't get a chance before we could reach here the candidate has been chosen, I guess it's not my day"

"no, I don't think so... do you want to be my p.a?"

"seriously!"

" don't think that I am giving you this offer just because you helped me out. I liked the way you approached the problem plus you are educated I think its more than enough. Now what do you say"

Although I was trying for some job in the technical field I found it to be a better choice rather than sitting in the home idle and readily accepted the offer.

The next day I was again late, I rushed up to my new office praying to God to spare me one last time. After a bit of commotion, I reached there just on time right behind miss. Wincy.

After a few minutes, Wincy called me to her cabin to report myself,

"I guess you help a lot", she scoffed off

Within I could reply she continued in a professional tone, "you may have been appointed directly by me but that doesn't mean that you can disobey the office rules, here all are treated equally"

I apologized to her in return. Ignoring my apologizes she continued with a professional tone,

"ok Keerthi now back to work, fortunately, or unfortunately, on your first day, you are going to meet a very important client its none other than my fiancé" as she informed I looked at her puzzled.

"soon within a month I am going to get married and as a pa, you will have to look after that too. As it is about my marriage there is no place for any mistakes so prepare yourself", she spoke out in a stern voice making me freak out.
