"This looks nice " the girls said smiling a bit. She held the dress and stood in front of the mirror.
She put the dress infront of her and scrunched her nose checking herself in the mirror.
"How can I forget that green colour isn't my thing!!!" She said rolling her eyes.
She once again went to her closet and picked up a blue top and wore it. Then she came back to her room.
Looking in front of the mirror she smiled brightly and said ,"Perfect ".
"Jitni bhi kosis karle bandariya dikhti thi...bandariya hi rahegi (No matter how much you try, you look like a monkey...you will remain a monkey." She heard a voice and she knows who it is.
"Stop irritating me,Samar." She said.
"Kyun? sachchai chubhti hai?"(why ? Does truth sting?") Samar asked.
"I know that I am very beautiful...boys are mad about me. So you don't have to start your nonsense here...Please...just leave." She said.
"I came to remind you that Ms Shweta,you are late today.Today is Monday and if I go late,my boss will kill me....trust me I am not going to drop you to your office ." He said.
"You know nah I need to look perfect so it takes time...you will not understand....Wait wait wait...now I understand why you are making me rush....You are jealous as I look beautiful...which you are not. " Shweta said.
"Beautiful and me!!!!" Saying this Samar burst out laughing and said ,"Oh hello... I am handsome ... I don't want to be beautiful, you fool."
"Arrggg....whatever. Let's go." Shweta said and both went downstairs for breakfast.
"Where is Dhruv Bhai?" Shweta asked after she took her seat.
"Your bhai is in the kitchen and your Dhruti bhabhi is helping him." Her father,Dharam said smiling.
Then they saw both husband and wife coming out of the kitchen.
"Maa and Dhruv ,you guys sit...I am serving." Dhruti Said .
"No ,today I am gonna serve. " Saying Dhruv made both the ladies sit and started serving.
"Wow...what a taste!! Samar and Shweta, learn something from Dhruv. " Dharam said proudly, making others smile.
They had their breakfast while laughing and talking.
"Ok I am getting late...Let's go Shweta." Samar said to Shweta and left.
"Let's go." Samar as they settled down on Samar's bike .
She is Shweta Kapoor ,daughter of Dharam Kapoor and Shrestha Kapoor. She is working as a manager in a Malhotra Group of Companies. Her Father,Dharam Kapoor asked her to work in his own company but Shweta wanted to get a job with her own talent . So she chose to work here.
"We reached....listen after finishing your work just give me a call and I will pick you up from here." Samar said.
Shweta nodded and went inside.
"Hey babes" Puja ,Shweta's friend greeted her.
"Hey girl...What are you doing?" Shweta said.
"Nothing just work...work & work." Puja said, making Shweta chuckle.
"Now let's get back to work ,otherwise the boss will eat our head." Shweta said and got back to work.
At around 3 pm I decided to go outside and have lunch.
I went to my boss and asked for permission which he gave me luckily.I went to the restaurant which was just 5 minutes away from our office.
Shaurya's pov
"So here is the presentation and thoughts for the very next project..." I finished the presentation.
"We are absolutely thrilled to work with you Mr.Shaurya..
We are impressed by this.... " one of the clients said.I sighed in relief as soon as we signed the contract. Thank god!! Finally something good happened.
"Ayaan, I am leaving. I have to go somewhere. Did you do something about the advertisement of PA's post." I asked.
He nodded and started to tell me the details. We made our way outside the restaurant.
We were in the middle of our discussion when a voice stopped us and made me a little irritated.
"Shaurya....hey you here?"
We turned to see Shweta coming towards us.
"Sir, I think I should go.." Ayaan said. Before I could say anything to him he left from there.
"Hi...I was in a meeting. " I said.
"Oh ...let's go..we can have our lunch " she said.
"Oh no..I mean...I had my lunch with my clients. So I have to go now. " I said. I really don't want to get struck with her.
"Oh come on Shaurya, at least have some coffee or something. Come and you also promised me for a Date ...ummm sorry I mean an outing you know. SO..." Shweta said nervously.
Date!! Really!! When did I promise her about a 'date'?
I don't want to sound rude but to be honest , I don't feel like that for her .
Knowing everything still she is doing all these. What can I do now?
I passed a formal smile towards her and went inside with her.
We settled down and she ordered her food. I took a cold coffee and a chocolate cookie.
" So,how's everything going?" She asked.
"Everything is going very well. What about you?" I asked.
"Fine.." She said.
Then she said anything and everything about herself ,sometimes I think how she is different from Dhruv and Samar. They think about everyone around them ...especially Dhruv ,but Shweta is and always has been very self centric...full of herself.
Not only that but in many ways they are different.They are siblings - it's hard to believe.She stopped talking when the order came.
"Do you need anything else ,mam?" The waitress said who somehow looked a little nervous. She is 18 or 19...not more than that What if I had a sister ,she would have been like her.
I frowned and thought why she is working as a waitress at the age of studying in a college.
Shweta rolled her eyes and said loudly,"No..just leave." It actually sounded very rude.
The girl flinched and turned towards me and asked if I needed anything.
I smiled at her and said ,"No....Thank you Sweetheart.... "
She looked startled but smiled sweetly at me .
"If you don't mind can I ask you something?" I said.
"Sure Sir." She said.
"Why are you working here? I mean don't you have college?" I asked.
"Yes I do. My shift ends here at 3pm .Then I go to my college.
I study in an evening college so I will go to my college directly from here.. but why Sir?" She said.This girl is very innocent, normally not everyone gives a reply like this freely to a stranger. You shouldn't reply like this to a stranger for your own good.
Her fidgeting with fingers, eyes say that she is innocent and nervous around people."No...nothing. Study well ok..What's your name?" I said.
"Megha Kulkarni, Sir." She said and left.
I looked at Shweta to see she was fuming in anger.
"What?" I asked.
"What was the need of talking so sweetly with that girl?" She asked.
"I talk like this with people ." I said.
"No...I mean she is just a waitress...so no need for it." She said, flipping her hair.
"Well ,Shweta, talking rudely with someone without any reason isn't my thing...maybe you are used to it. But I am not. It irritates me. And don't think I owe an explanation to anyone. " I said to her in a tone to make her stop the discussion.
See that's why she makes it difficult for me to talk properly with her without losing my cool.
"Anyways...I am getting late. Do you want to go or stay?" I asked her.
"No..let's go." She said.
I paid the bill and we went our own way.
Shweta's pov
Well...guess what!! The meeting with Shaurya didn't go well .
Currently I am sitting on my bed after dinner.
Suddenly my phone rang.
Puja : Hey Shweta ,how was the lunch date?
Shweta : Not a good man....it didn't end up on a good note.
Puja : Why?
I briefed her on what happened.
Puja : Oh man...you lost the chance of a good Romantic date.
Shweta: Romantic, like really!!! We aren't friends as well. I don't know how will make him realise my love for him?
Puja : Listen, I saw an advertisement in a newspaper that he is searching for a suitable PA for him.
Shweta: So what?
Puja : Why don't you give it a try? If you become his PA ,you will get a chance to be close to him and make him realise your love for him.
Shweta : But......
Puja : About your job..I told you just to give it a try....not to leave your current job. If it happens then it's good and if not then no problem, you will try for other ways.
Think about it...okay now bye. See you tomorrow.I hung up the phone.
Let's give it a try. Puja is right...At Least I should try.
I slept with a smile on my face.
Here is our Shweta.
How's it?
Stay safe and healthy.
Keep reading.Shaurya's povI woke up early in the morning as today is the day when the interview is going to take place.I completed my morning routine and got dressed for the day."Good morning, Papa" I said hugging my father who was sitting for breakfast and I joined him."Good morning....ready for the day?" He asked."Yes Papa. It's tough to search for a loyal employee. I don't know what's going to happen?" I said, frowning."Don't worry...everything will be alright. Just keep on checking who is giving you answers with utmost honesty. " Papa said.I smiled and nodded.Finishing our breakfast, he said," I am going to meet Dharam now...if I don't go, that fellow will sulk like a kid again. He will never change."I smiled and thought that in their case ,it took too long to become best friends again because of those misunder
Author's pov One middle aged couple entered a saree showroom and started to check some beautiful sarees."Hello Sir & Madam, Welcome. Tell me what can I do for you?" A girl asked them."We need some silk sarees." The lady said."Okk... Come with me" the girl took the couple towards a counter where the silk sarees were kept."Hey show them the silk sarees." The girl said to another girl who was standing there to attend the customers."Yes..." the girl who was behind the counter said and started showing the sarees.She was showing the sarees . Suddenly another sales girl called Arnika for some work. She went to talk with her and because of that the couple had to wait. They were getting irritated with each passing second.After 15 minutes she came back to see the couple
Shaurya's povI got ready fast as I had to go to the company early today. There is a project which needs to start so I thought I would read some reports before that."Good morning Papa," I said to my father as soon as I saw him sitting in the living room having his morning tea."Good morning… going early today?" He asked."Yes..need to study some reports for the next project and my PA is also joining today." I said. Papa nodded his head.We had our breakfast and I left for the office.I entered our office and everyone who was there greeted me. It was only 8 am so there was not much staff.I entered my cabin and after some time Ayaan also came."Good morning Sir." He said."Good morning Ayaan….so all good?" I asked. He nodded."Here is the file ." Saying this he gave me the file.
Shaurya's pov I reached my home at 8:45 pm as traffic wasn't there much.I entered and searched for my father."Where is Papa?" I asked our cook,Shoma."He is in his room ." She replied. I smiled and nodded.I went towards his room and entered as it was open.I looked at the study table to see Papa was sitting and reading a novel there. The walls of his room were filled with the photos of Mom and me. One photo was there of three of us when I was just born on the wall behind the bed. His study table has photos of his & Mom .I have seen him crying at night for my Mom while looking at the sky and her photos.I know how much he misses her and his outer hard shell can't hide his broken heart and soul from my eyes.I wish Mom was here with us....I am so unlucky that I don't have a
Shaurya's povAfter lunch I went back to my cabin."Let's see what Ms Arnika has done." I said to myself and started to check the files.I checked the files to see if everything was correct but some mistakes were there which were negligible.I called her inside."Yes Sir, " She came after knocking my door."Well , the work you have done was perfect." I said and showed the mistakes so that she doesn't do it in future. Although as a first timer she did a great job and within time ."Okay, now you have to type the mails." I said to her and she nodded her head and started to type.We did our work and it was already 8 pm when we finished it."So, that's all for today. We will meet Tomorrow. You can leave now. By th
Shaurya's povIt's been 12 days since Ms Arnika is working here.These days I have never seen her talking with one except me and Ayaan. She is perfect in her work and most importantly she is very much hardworking and organized. One of her best traits is that she can catch and learn new things very fast.Let's not talk about her handwriting…...it's utterly beautiful.She just comes in office ,does her work quietly, eats her lunch alone ( if me or Ayaan don't join her somedays) and finishes her work and goes back to her home.Not only in her work ,but also in making coffee she is perfect. I really didn't have such nice coffee ever. Honestly, I got addicted to her coffee.One thing which I noticed is that she doesn't smile or laugh except the formal smiles.She is full of mystery and puzzle. But she is
Shaurya's povI was laying down on my bed and started to think about the day.The most important part of the day is Ms Arnika.Everyday she surprises me in a different manner but Today I saw a different Arnika altogether -- A strong one who can't be tamed and defeated so easily.I saw and heard what happened during the lunch hour….how one of our employees, I don't remember her name tried to degrade her.But Ms Arnika was just like fire ..the way she said her point to her made that girl red in anger.I know what I have to do about it as it's my duty to protect my employees in every way possible.And she behaved like this with the boss's PA so it's needed to be taken care of.The next thing which was unforgettable was the way she dealt with Mr Verma...the man who was adamant for the joint venture but he wanted everything

So you guys are coming in theevening right?Shaurya : Of course. So any preferences for gifts?Samar : No...it's your task to do.

That is my gift of your wedding and birthday. What say?Samar : Nothing like this will happen unfortunately as Mumma has already told us that only after your wedding ,I can get married. So do onething, just marry as soon as possible.I laughed out loud hearing
