Shresht pulled the car in front of my apartment and I jerked myself out of my thoughts and looked around. “Thank you” I smiled at him and stepped out of the car. While I was walking towards the building I heard Shresht and turned. He smiled at him and leaned to place a sweet kiss on my cheek and I couldn't stop myself from blushing.

“Good night” he stood straight with a brighter smile and I smiled back gaining my senses and walked towards the building

“Good night” he stood straight with a brighter smile and I smiled back gaining my senses and walked towards the building.

When I entered the apartment I was totally exhausted. Reason being these two Wadhwa brothers. One is scaring me with his sweet gestures and the other with his mindless possessiveness both of which I never wanted in my tranquil life which was so perfect all these years.

Giving a break to all my thoughts I lied on my bed and sleep engulfed me soon.

It was the busiest Saturday I ever had in my whole career. First I decided to handover the contract to Adi who was dying with excitement to see our first international deal. It felt terribly good that I could achieve it for the company finally.

When I stepped in Pegasus I was surprised to see everyone in celebration mood. The whole office was decorated with glitter and balloons. Did I forget any special day we celebrate in the company. It was possible because I had been more like a visiting staff than the regular one. But I was sure Adi will discuss such events with me before organizing.

“Surprise”

I heard everyone shout around me and popping balloons and poppers. I was so startled that I felt I was in between a war zone where there people are firing from both the sides. A loud squeal escaped my mouth which I covered and looked around with wide open eyes still trying to grab the things happening.

Everyone looked at me with their huge smiles and I found Adi at the center. He had the widest smile plastered on his face.

“God... I thought I will not get through this heart attack” I said panting which cracked up everyone around. They knew I was always sarcastic when expressing shock.

“Congratulations” Adi stepped forward reaching me and gave a warm hug. I smiled covering him. “You know you made me the happiest man alive” he said dragging himself back and that made me smile wider. “You got me the first international client and not only that you saw the share prices of our company today? We will be out of our losses in a month time” he beamed and I just nodded my head slightly.

“Keeping a track of the shares is your job. And it's not just me. We all have worked day and night to achieve it. No one has done anything less. Though I was out of the office everyone did the job perfectly without anyone's supervision and kept me posted. This is not just me Adi. This is us. This is Pegasus. I might be doing the convincing part with the clients but to that they give me the assurance” I looked around meeting each of my colleague's eye. They really accepted the complement from me because they know I don't do it very often.
