8 parts Ongoing Episode 11: First Day, Old Feelings
Vardha hummed softly as she picked out her outfit-a crisp white shirt, black pants, and a matching blazer. Professional. Perfect.
She placed her laptop on the bed, grabbed her towel, and headed for a quick shower.
The warm water did little to calm her nerves.
First day. New city. New job.
She exhaled deeply. "You got this, Vardha."

Breakfast & Chaos
She walked out of the bathroom, towel-drying her hair, and slipped into her outfit.
In the kitchen, she made a quick bowl of oats with strawberries, forcing herself to eat despite the nerves swirling in her stomach.
Her phone buzzed.
Kavish.
She grabbed it, still chewing. "Hey, Kavish, I was just about to call you-"
"Figured. You need the office address, right?" he said with a chuckle.
"Yes, please. Also, how long will it take to reach?"
"About 40 minutes in Mumbai traffic. Leave soon."
Vardha glanced at the clock. Crap. I should've left five minutes ago.

Apartment Lift Mishap
She hurriedly slung her bag over her shoulder, clutching her laptop in one hand and phone in the other as she rushed to the lift.
Just as the doors were about to close, a hand shot out, stopping them.
Abhigyan.
Vardha stepped aside, still typing a message to Kavish.
"Big day?" Abhi asked casually.
"Yeah, first day at Vizlot."
His brows raised slightly. Vizlot.
Interesting.
He gave a small nod. "You nervous?"
"Nope," she lied.
He smirked. "Liar."
Vardha huffed. "Fine, maybe a little. But I'll survive."
The lift dinged.
They stepped out together, walking toward the parking lot.
"Need a ride?" Abhi offered, unlocking his car.
Vardha hesitated.
"I can book a cab-"
"Don't be stubborn, neat freak. Get in."
She rolled her eyes but got in.
As Abhi drove, he glanced at her.
Vizlot.
This just got interesting.
