Shreya's P O V:

The man was really good and skillful when it came to work related some matters. And I had to admit he explains very well too. But I just couldn't stand when he called me newbie.

Though he is full of arrogance, maybe he has a good heart.

I turned on my heels to go to my cubicle.

Just then, I faced him again. Saurav.

This time he looked at me and a sort of i-think-i-know-you expression appeared on his face. He came forward and thinking that there was no way out for me, I smiled at him.

"You're from Kolkata.. right! I think I know you! ", He exclaimed.

"Umm.. I think we know each other.. I studied in VC.. ", I stated.

"Ah.. I remember.. what's up? You work here?? I work here too.. ", he said.

Thus it started.

Third person P O V:

It was the tiffin break. Shreya grabbed a sandwich from the counter and searched for Saurav. He had told her that he would be here.

Instead of Saurav, whom Shreya met , was Shivam. With a cup of coffee in this hand, he came towards Shreya.
"Hey newbie! ", He waved at Shreya.

"What's it? ", She asked having a bite on the sandwich.

"Finish your food fast.. dont waste time ok! go and work .. ", he smirked.

Can I throw him out of this planet?
No I can't.
Let's tolerate.
She thought.

"I know .. I'll go back when I'm done eating... ", She replied him a bitter smile.

"Waiting for someone, huh! Ah he's here I guess! ", He stated and left her with Saurav.
Did he notice me and Saurav talking earlier? It's possible.
Shreya thought again.

Saurav and me had talked about many things, both successfully avoiding the topic of Sangeeta. Shreya didn't want to bring that up yet.

At the evening when everyone was ready to go back home, Shivam came to Shreya, and told her that the project, which she made, was good.

"You should thank me for my guidance, Newbie! " He told.. "if I hadn't helped you, Sir would never have admired it, You know!"

"Ahh... Sure!!!!! Thank you Mr. Shivam Avasthi!! Without you I couldn't have done this.... Happy ?? Now let me go! Bye! "

Everyone wrapped up. It was time to go back home.
                      ----------------------

After one week,

Shreya was on the lift of their apartment. These days, Saurav and Shreya had already became good friends. They went to the canteen together for lunch almost every day.

Today, she had to work a bit over time. All thanks to Shivam. But he said that the boss had given everyone some extra work.

When she opened the door,she saw that Sangeeta was home already and talking over phone with someone.

"Listen to me.. if you want to quit, you can do that.. but don't be like this.. you're all insincere with your work.. the boss will fire you anyday.. "

Shreya didn't know what the other one said.

After the call ended, Shreya asked her about it.

"This boy is never going to rectify himself .. you know! I am always just hiding his mistakes and covering up his delays.. he just doesn't come round!! "

Sangeeta sounded annoyed. She knew it was about Amit. This guy was really dependant on Sangeeta. She heard about him from Sangeeta often.

"He is a very good human being and a very good friend too.. but why am I always helping him in his work.. I don't know", Sangeeta told her this, very often.

After the dinner was over, both of them did the dishes.

Before going to bed, Shreya took a look at Sangeeta's room. She was busy with her laptop. She was working on some project. Shreya didn't disturb her.

It had been many months, Shreya didn't work on her incomplete songs. She wanted to finish them, record them and post them on YouTube.
But nothing was going, according to her plan. She was super busy in Pune and couldn't make time for anything here.

So she took her phone and played her favorite playlist through headphones.
Just then she received a text from Saurav.
>> [Shivam was asking about you, after you left. Be sure to contact him. Maybe he had something to tell.]

                    [ Ki??? (What) um.. Ok I    will..what does he have to say now? 😥]<<

>>[ 😅😅Don't worry.. it's might not be anything serious.. just text him about it.]

                    [ Yeah... I mean.. I didn't text him personally yet.
                      Ok I'm doing it. 😟] <<

>>[Ok .. good night dear!!!! 🌚]

Shreya texted Shivam with a fear in her heart.
                         [ Umm.. hi! Saurav told me to contact you. Did you have anything to say? ]<<

After 5 minutes.. the reply came.
>> [ He told you to contact me? Woah..
I thought he's possessive.
About you.
😛😛]
                      [ Whattt!
                  I'll kill you someday... -_- ] <<

"Oh no.. I must not have said that. " Shreya told herself. "I'm not that close to him.."
The reply came.

>>[ Really?
      Yes please !
       😏😏
       Kill me! ]

[A/N: I don't know how is it going.. please let me know! And I hope you enjoy the upcoming episodes.
Please keep reading.
Thank you! ]
