Akruti Arora

Sunday was a hectic day. I had to go shopping to purchase my clothes for Tara's marriage. I didn't want to waste my Sunday just simply sitting at home. So I went around and purchased the dresses. 

The last two days, meaning Saturday and Sunday, I again dreamt that dream. Same blurry image of man and woman shouting, a girl being escaped. I wonder why I'm getting these dreams. I tried asking my family, but they simply replied 'NO'. What are they hiding from me? I should really do something about that one. 

Monday came so soon. Getting ready in mustard blouse and blank pants with black flats I headed towards the dining room. During breakfast too I questioned my family, but they again replied the same. I was really starting to get annoyed. 

"Please tell me. Are you hiding something from me? Please I'm getting those nightmares frequently. Help me to deal with it", I literally pleaded them.

"Yes, dear. We're hiding something from you. But whatever we're doing it's for your own safety, we're protecting you. We can't disclose the reason for you. Try to understand. ", saying this Nanu left the table, whilst others followed his suit.

'From what they're protecting me?' 

This was the only thing, that kept running in my mind. With this thought, I picked Nila and drove towards the office. We reached our office and went towards our respective cabin. I was so engrossed in the thoughts that I didn't hear the cabin door being open.

"Hey Akruti, you all alright. I've been calling you minutes, but you didn't respond, so I entered the cabin. Now tell me what happened?", making her self comfortable on the seat, Nila inquired me.

"The thing is my family is hiding something from me. It's related to the nightmares I get. I even begged them, but they're not saying the reason. Just told me that they're protecting me from something. I wonder what's that? ", sighing I placed my head between my palms.

"Oh...but it must be really important that they're trying to keep that away from you. Just leave this for some time. As time goes you'll get the answers by yourself. Trust me. Okay now come Mr.Khanna and Mr. Chopra called us for something. Let's get going before they say anything.", saying this we got from our place.

"Is something going on between you and Mr.Chopra, Nila?", I asked her wiggling my eyebrows.

"Don't even interrogate me about that. Nothing is going on between us. We're just a normal employee and employer. Man, he doesn't do any of the works. Just keeps pushing it to me. Thank god, Mr.Senior Khanna made him do some work. And now madam shall we leave.?"

"Yeah. Yeah..as you say.", saying this I chuckled, in return, she glared at me. 

We reached Mr.Annoying's cabin and Nila knocked his cabin, as usual, we entered after hearing his 'come in'. Entering we greeted Mr.Senior Khanna, Mr. Chopra, and of course Mr. Jerk. But we saw another man around the age of Jerk and Mr.Chopra sitting. He was quite handsome but not like Mr.Jerk.

'What the hell is wrong with you?', I heard my subconscious say. I just shrugged my thoughts and kept my mouth shut.

"Ms.Nila and Ms.Arora meet Mr. Sharav Ahuja, CFO of the company. ", I heard the Jerk say. 

"Good morning sir", Nila and I greeted him at the same time. He greeted us back but kept staring at me.

"Umm...Do I know you? ", the new one asked me.

"No"

"But it's like I have seen you somewhere. " 

I was about to answer but Mr.Annoying cut me off. 

"Sharav leave her. Both of you can go and do your work. And Ms. Arora makes sure all the things for the upcoming project are ready. Including the presentation. We can't afford to make a single mistake. Understood? ", he told me in a cold manner. 

"Leave the poor child to breathe, will you? She won't make any mistakes. I have a belief in her. So just take a chill pill Vee", Mr.Senior Khanna supported me. I just smiled in response.

"Yeah, whatever. But this project is important to me. So I don't want anyone to mess it up", the Annoying one replied. Whilst Mr.Ahuja kept staring at me. It began to creep me out. So I started shifting in my place. I heard Mr. Senior Khanna say,

"Girls go and complete your works, before my grandsons can go crazy", saying this he laughed and Mr.Ahuja joined him, while Mr.Chopra and Jerk glared at them. Nila and I just smiled. Thanking them we left for our cabin. 

"Akru wasn't it weird that Mr.Ahuja was staring at you? ", Nila questioned me. I just nodded. 

"Do you know them already?" 

" I don't know Nila".

"What the hell was that Sharav?", I asked him as soon as our PA's left the cabin. He just kept staring at Akruti...I mean Ms.Arora. Seriously what's wrong with him?

"What was what?" Sharav asked me in a calm manner making himself comfortable in the seat. To hell with his innocence. I wonder what happened to him seeing Ms.Arora.

"Why were you gaping at Ms.Arora?" , I asked him gritting my teeth.

"Ooh hoo. Something is burning. Do you smell something Daksh", I heard Dadu say, and he started laughing. I just groaned in response.

Daksh nodding his head burst out laughing. A clueless Sharav kept looking between them and me. He raised his eyebrows at me like what-is wrong-with-them look. I just shook my head.  

And again they go down with the same story. After hearing the story, Sharav too started laughing. "So finally Mr.I'm-not-a-relationship-guy finds out one girl, and what a jam, she turns out to be his PA. I'm impressed Veer. But let me tell you, that I don't have anything for her".

"Then why did you stare at her like that. My poor granddaughter-in-law was so nervous Sharav.", dadu questioned him on my behalf, and I just glared at him when he used that word. 'Granddaughter-in-law'. He just shrugged his shoulders seeing my glare. 

"I felt like I have seen her somewhere. I had this urge in me to protect her, I meant the brotherly way the moment I saw her. Her eyes. It's like her eyes. So only I was staring at her", he replied.

"Yeah even I felt the same way", I turned my head towards him hearing his reply.

'What? Dadu also'

"Like her? Who man?" Daksh questioned him. He proved my answer right by uttering the name which holds so many memories to him.

"Sara"
