After all the day went like that ........ Next day ...... Maya was working in her office ....... She got a call from landline ....... It was from the reception she said something and cut the call ........ She hear a knock and says come in ....... It was the doctor who treated her yesterday ...... actually he was her family doctor ....... She told him to seat ....... Maya asks ........

Maya : koi kaam hai ?........ Says working on her laptop .......
                    Is there any work ?........

Doctor : haan woh !....... Main yaha paas mein koi kaam se aaya tha ....... Tumse kuch zaroori baat karna hai ........ She just nods her head like yes ....... Ab tabiyat kaisi hai ?.........
               Yes actually !..... I came here for some work nearby....... I want to say something very important ........ How's ur health now ?........

Maya : better ........

Doctor : tumhari family doctor hone ki naate main tumhe ek suggestion dena chahta hoon ....... Parso pehle tumhari jo haal bohot mushkil tha ........ Tum apne aapko bhi nahi sambhal payi kisi anjaan ne tumhe ghar le aaya ....... uss ne hi mujhe call kiya ...... har baar aise koi aake tumhe help nahi karenge !....... Main chahta hoon ki tum apni khayal rakhne keliye ek care taker rakh lo ......... Maya turned her gaze towards doctor like ' what ' .......
                      Being your family doctor, I want to give you a sugesstion .......  Day before u were in very critical condition ........  U can't even handle urself some stranger took u home ....... She only called me ...... Not everytime that someone would come and help u ....... I just want u to hire an care taker for u ........

Maya : mujhe ko kisi ki sahare ki zarurat nahi ........
               I don't want anybody's help .......

Doctor : isse sahara nahi Kaam kehte hai ....... She looks at doctor confusingly ....... Woh tumhari dhyaan rakhegi aur tum uskeliye salary dogi bas ....... Jaise tum mujhe deti ho ........ Kal jo hua uske baad main tumhe aise hi chod sakta ........ mujhe pata hai ki phir bhi tum care taker nahi rakhna chahte ho ...... Par dobara tumhe aisa attack hua toh kam se kam mujhe bulane keliye toh rakh lo ......... Kehne ka toh care taker hai par tum usse employee hi samajh lena ........ Maya thought for a while and says .........
                      It's not help its work ....... U'll be giving salary for them to taking care of u just like how u gave me ........ I can't leave u alone after all what happened .......  I know u won't like to keep an care taker for u ...... What if u again get attack atleast keep them to call me ....... They will be just caretaker for name but u just treat them as ur employee ........

Maya : main aisa kisi pe bharosa nahi kar sakti ........

Doctor : pata hai !....... Meri paas ek sugesstion hai ...... agar tumhe pasand ho toh main baat karta hoon .......
                 I know !...... I have an sugesstion for u ...... If u ok with it i'll talk to them .......

Saying that he handed a file ....... And went ....... She continued her work ....... After sometime ....... She opened file to see whom he suggested ...... Unknowingly a small smile appeared on her lips ....... She softly caressed the picture she despirately turned the page to see bio data ...... And says ......

Maya : sharanya Bisht !..... Says with a small smile ...... Then she read all her data's ....... Don't know why she was somehow ( ahem ahem note that somehow !..... Really ?.....) ok with the sugesstion ....... She kept reading the file again and again ......... She saw that she's studying in clg ...... Just 18 yr old girl ....... Her mobile number also given ....... She saved it on her mobile ........

Here Sharanya's college was about to end ...... She came out of her college with her friends talking , laughing with them ...... Her phone got ringed ....... She saw that it was from her friend in her work place she attend the call ....... End of the call she was in beyond shock ........ She told her friend she have to leave hurry ....... She left for hotel ....... Her friend was waiting for her in corridor ........ She run towards her having heavy breathes and asks .......

Sharanya : kya hua pari ?....... Tum phone pe ....... She says shakingly ......
                    What happened pari ?..... U told in phone ......

Pari : pehle shaant ho jao Sharanya ...... Tumne phone pe jo bhi suna woh sach hai ....... Manager tumhe kaam se nikal chuke hai !....... Sharanya was looking at her shockingly ......
               First u calm down Sharanya ....... It's true Whatever u hear in call ....... Manager quits u in the job ........

Sharanya : par kyu ?...... says cryingly
                      But why ?.......

Pari  : unhe hi pochna hoga .......
                U have to ask him only .......

She says helplessly ........ Tears starts to dwell up in her eyes ....... She's feeling so helpless she went to manager ask about why they're quitting her from job ....... Manager says that .....

Manager : tumne kal bedi sir ka insult ki thi ....... Unhone hi tumhe kaam se nikal ne ko kaha .......
                 U've insulted bedi sir yesterday ...... He only tolde to throw u from the job .........

               What he said is left her beyond shock ....... She begged the manager to keep her in job ....... But the manager refused strictly ........ and told to ask vyombedi about her job ...... Maybe if he forgives her she might get her job again ........ She came out of the office wiping her tears ........ She sat on the near bus stop blankly ....... Not knowing what to do ....... Then only manager word stuck in her mind ....... Agar bedi sir ne tumhe maaf kar diya toh tumhe kaam wapas mil sakta hai ......  (if bedi sir has forgive u might get ur job back ) She wiped the lone tear ...... Took an auto went to ' bedi empire ' she ask permission to meet vyom ....... Receptionist first denied her as he don't meet people unnecessarily ...... Sharanya explained her situation to her she said ok then call vyom ...... he said yes ...... She knock his cabin door ....... After hearing ' come in ' she opened the door slowly went in ....... Standing near the door looking down ....... Vyom look up to see sharanya ...... As he was not shocked either surprised ....... He looks at her like ' I've expected this ' kind of look with a victory smirk all over his face ....... He said ' come ' slowly ....... She came and stand infront of him looking down ..... he was expecting her to look up ....... To get her attention he coughed and says .......

Vyom : kya baat hai ?...... Tum yaha ?...... Koi zaroori kaam hai mujhse ........
               What a surprise ?...... U here ?...... Any important work with me .......

He said in a sarcastic tone ........ Finally she looked at him he saw that her eyes , nose were red ...... Her face was pale and expressionless ...... He was shaked by her state ........ His inner voice says ....... Kya hua isko ?...... Kahi iss haal ki vajah main toh nahi ?...... Chuckling all his thoughts ........ He asks ....... Kya hua tumhe ?........ He asks normally .......

                What happened to her ?...... Am i the reason for her state ?...... What happened to u ?......

Sharanya : kya bigada hai maine aapka ?....... She asks blankly ........ Kya apko sach mein lagta hai main aapki badle ka layak hoon ?...... Aapki sach jaane ki baad main bas aapse koi lena dena nahi rakhna chahta tha ...... Isiliye kal aapse aise baat kiya !...... Taki aap dobara aise meri chokhat pe aake khada na rahe ...... Par aapne galat samajh kar mujhe meri kaam se nikal diya !....... She said weekly ....... Mujhe aapse takrane ka na hi himmat hai na hi aukat !....... She fold her hands and says ....... Please mujhe meri kaam wapas dedijiye !....... She says requestingly ........ He was looking at her blankly ....... Aap ek baar manager se keh denge toh mujhe meri kaam mil jayega !...... Please ........ Dobara aapki nazron mein bhi nahi padungi ........

Vyom : her last words took his breath away for a second ....... His heart starts to beat rapidly ....... Composing himself  ...... He says ..... kal maine tumhe ek offer di thi uska istamal kyu nahi kar sakti ....... Dobara wahi kaam keliye mere saamne haath jodkar kyu khadi ho ?......
                        Why can't u use the offer letter
....... why u asking for the same job again .......

Sharanya : mujhe bas wahi kaam karna hai bas !....... She says looking down ........
                  I jut want that job only ......

Vyom : he let out a sniff and says ....... Nahi milegi !...... Says casually ......
               U won't !......

Sharanya : milne keliye kya karna hoga ?......
                  What should i do to get ?.......

Vyom : woh kaam nahi milegi jo tum chahte ho !....... Par woh kaam milegi jo main chahta hoon !....... She looks at him shockingly ........ Manzoor hai ?......
                 U won't get that job u want ...... U will get that job i'll choose ....... Is it ok ?......

Sharanya : mujhe aap keliye kaam nahi karna hai ...... Says blankly .......
                      I won't work for u ........

Vyom : haath pe kaam nahi ..... Guroor mein kam nahi !...... Huh !...... He says letting out a chuckle ....... she felt so humiliated hearing that ....... Agar kaam chayiye toh yahi kaam milegi warna u can !...... He shows hand towards the door ....... She just give him one haterd look ...... She turned was about to go ....... Vyom says ...... I think ab tumhe kaam ki sak zarurat hai !....... Right !....... Warna apni zindagi kaise chalaogi ?........ Sharanya got freezed in her place as he hitted the right point ....... She needs the work ...... To live her own life ...... she slowly turned to see vyom having a smirk on his face which boiled her anger even more ........ She came again to him and says .......
                 Don't have any work but no less in pride ....... If u want job u only have this otherwise u can ........ I think u need this job very badly ....... Right !...... Or else how u'll survive .......

Sharanya : mujhe ye offer manzoor hai !...... Par ek baat hai ...... Main yeh kaam sirf Jab tak karunga tab tak mujhe ek naya kaam na mil jayi ...... uske baad ek second bhi aapki chate ke neeche nahi rahunga ......

Vyom : fine !...... Aakhir kuch toh acha faisla liya tu ne !....... Saying that he took reciver of landline called someone ........ After few mins ....... His p.a come up with an letter she gave it to him and went ......... He handed the letter to her and says ....... Ye tumhari appoinment letter hai !...... Aur ye contract papers iss mein sign karlo ....... He hand over both in her hands .......

Sharanya : par main yaha sirf ek mahine keliye kaam karungi ........ uskeliye contract ?.......
               But am gonna work here only for a month ....... Contract for that .........

Vyom : agar kal hi tumhe koi kaam mil jaye tum ye kaam chod kar chali gayi toh !...... Kam se kam ek mahine toh tumhe meri saath ek chath ke neeche rehna hi padega !......
              What if u get an job tomorrow itself
And leave this job ........ U have to be with me under same roof for atleast one month .....    

Sharanya : samajh nahi aa ra hai ki aapko mujhse kya dushmani hai !...... her words hitted his heart so badly ...... But didn't show it ......
                     I do not understand what's your enmity with me !.........

He says shrugging his shoulders ...... Ok !...... She kept the contract on the table took the appoinment letter went from the place frustratingly ....... Vyom saw the doorway her words were only ringing in his mind ........ ' pata nahi aapko mujhse kya dushmani hai ' ....... fame he says ...... Dushman !...... Aisa maine kya kiya ki woh mujhe apne dushman samajh li ....... Main toh bas uska help kar raha tha !...... chahta tha ki ...... Usko acha kaam aur salary mile !...... aur woh akele rehti hai !...... Isiliye chahata tha ki usko apne paas rakhunga toh uspe nazar rakhunga ...... aur Ye jaan saku ki woh thik hai ki nahi !...... Par usne mujhe dushman kyu kaha ?.......
                         I know u don't have college tomorrow !...... u can join tomorrow .......  And yes it's a part time job ....... U'll be having no problem for going clg ...... And 25 k is ur salary ...... Is that ok for u ...... If not them i can make some other arrangements for u .......   Don't know what kind of enimity u have with me ......  Enemity !..... What did  I've done that she considered me as her enemy ?......... I was just helping her ........  I just want her ...... To get better work and salary ....... And also she lives alone .......  That's why I wanted to keep her with me, so that I will keep an eye on him .... and know that she's fine or not !.... but why did she call me sh her enemy ?......

            Little did ....... He want to help her ...... Want to know about her well beings and wants to take care of her needs ...... And he himself don't know why he's doing all these ....... Somewhere of his inner self says to protect her , take care of her ...... But he don't know how to do all these in a proper way ....... Unaware of that he didn't know that he hurted her so emotionally ...... he's not used to this care , concern , emotions and all ....... It was not his thing ........ He never cared or concerned for someone in his whole life ...... Now he wants to look upto someone ....... But doesn't know how to do ?...... He sat completely lost in her words ....... Here Sharanya came home sat on the couch ....... Tears were flowing continuously in her eyes ....... She fell asleep on the couch itself ........ She wake up on 8 ...... As she was feeling so hungry ....... She took her phone and see so many missed calls from an unknown number ........ She went to kitchen to cook some food and dialled the number ....... That person attend the call and she says .......

Sharanya : kaun hai ?....... (Who's this )  She sounds so low ...... Opposite person says ....... Maya ....... She asks ....... Kaun maya ?...... ( who maya ) In an not so intrested tone ....... She says .......

Maya : maya mehrotra !....... Sharanya's phone fell from her hands ........ But she catches it ......... And says ......

Sharanya : sorry ..... Sorry mam !........ Says shakingly ....... Maya senses something wrong in her tone ....... And asks .......

Maya : are u ok ?....... Awaz kuch thik nahi lagra hai ?.......
                 Why u sounds so dull ?.......
            

Sharanya : suddenly she remember today incident that makes her even more low ....... She says blankly ........ Kuch nahi mam !...... Aap batayiye ....... Aapne call kiya koi baat hai ?........
                   Nothing mam !..... U tell me !..... What's the matter that u called me ?........

Maya : gifts ya paise lene se toh mana kar diya ...... Isiliye socha kal tumhe dinner pe invite karu ...... Kam se kam uss mein toh aaogi na ?.......
                    U denied to take money or gifts  ...... So i thought to call u for dinner ...... Will u came atleast for that ........

Sharanya : mam !..... Sorry ....... Kal mujhe kaam pe jaana hai kya main parso ko aa sakta hoon ?...... She asks requestingly .......
                      Sorry mam !..... Tomorrow I have to go to work can I come day after tomorrow ?......

Maya : thik hai !....... (Ok )  Saying that she cut the call .......

Next day morning :
                It was 7.30 am ..... Sharanya was getting ready to go office ........ As she had no intrest in going there ....... But she has no other way other than going there ....... she went to the office at right time ........  She came out of the auto ........ She saw that it was a really 5 times bigger building than her previous work place ...... Is that enough to make her happy ....... She have to do nothing wid that ......  Thinking that she went inside ...... She asked a girl about her work showing the letter ...... She told her to go on 10 th floor ....... She took lift went to 10 th floor ....... she was waiting infront of vyom's cabin ....... She gave a knock ....... Hears a come in she opened the door went inside vyom look up to see sharanya was standing there having the appoinment letter in her hands ........ Unknowingly a small satisfactory smile were playing on his lips ........ She came and stand infront of him looking down .........

                     Yes ........

Gaurav : Sweety ne bola tha tumhari bare mein ....... Agar free ho toh kya hum tum aur sweety hum sab saath mein lunch kare ?..... Humari baat bhi hojayegi ....... He asks sweetly ......
                   Sweety told me about u ........ If u free can we have lunch together ........ We can have some talk too ......

Sharanya : sure !..... She says smilingly ........ Then sweety also came that way watching Sharanya talking with her friend she also joins with them ...... Three of them having some fun conversation ...... Vyom was watching all these from his cabin ...... And thinks ......

Vyom : in dono ko toh aaj mili hai par aise baat kar rahi hai ko saalo se jaanti hai ...... Par mujhse toh pehle hi mil chuki hai par ...... Mujhse nahi ........ Kyu ?...... Aisa kya kar diya maine ....... Infact maine usko help kiya ...... then he came out of his cabin three of them saw vyom and shocked like anything vyom says ...... Agar tum dono ka kaam ho gaya ho ....... Toh main p.a se apni kaam karwa sakta hoon ........ He says simple tone but it scares the shit out of them both went back to their seats ...... Vyom signalled her to come inside and sat on his seat ...... Sharanya asks ......
                She met them today only but talking like she knows them for years ........ But she met me before them ...... Why don't she talk with me like that  ...... what did i do

Vyom : umm .... Uhh ...... Bhar koi blue color file hoga usse leki aao ...... And get me a coffee ....... She says ok and went to take both and comeback with file and coffee .......  She kept both on table .......
                 There will be an blue color file outside take that ......

                ( Sir this file and coffee )

Vyom : Sharanya !....... She turns to see and  asks .....

Sharanya : yes sir ........

Vyom : tumse kuch pochna hai ....... She just nods like yes and vyom says ........ Tum un dono se aaj hi mili ho par tum unse aise baat kar rahi ho jaise saalo purane dost hai ...... Mujhse kyu nahi ......... He asks unsurely ....... She was standing there silently ....... Vyom asks ........ Jawab do ......
                      I want to ask u something ...... U have just met them but u talking with them like ur old friends ....... why not me ........ Answer me .....

Sharanya : aapne aisa sawal nahi kiya jo kaam se juda ho ...... I don't think iss sawal ko main aapko jawab dene ka responsible hoon ....... Saying that she was about to go vyom stops her ......
                U don't ask such question that related to work ........ I don't think I'm responsible to answer u .......

Vyom : Sharanya !........ Meri sawal ka jawab nahi mili ........ (I don't get my answer )

Sharanya : mujhe toh jawab dena hi nahi ...... Aap uski intezaar mein kyu baithi hai .......
                  I dont want to even answer ........  Why u waiting fir that ......

Saying that she left from his cabin ...... Vyom was looking at her unbeliveably ...... Till now no one ever dare to talk back when he's talking ...... But this girl went on giving him a savage reply ......  Doesn't even consider him as a piece of shit ...... That make him restless ........ Then it was lunch time he came to canteen and saw that Sharanya was sitting with sweety and Gaurav enjoying their lunch ....... He was simply looking at her how she's being with them ....... Somehow deep inside his heart wants to be with her ..... Wants to have talk with her , smile with her ...... He stopped for a second and thinks  .......

Vyom : ye kya soch ra hoon main ?......  (What I'm even thinking ) He asks himself shockingly ...... He's the person never used to be with PPL , having coversation , spending time with someone and all ...... But now ..... His heart wants to do things which he never done before ....... And the main confusion is ...... why ?...... Suddenly all these feelings ....... And all ...... he's so confused with his ownself ........ He was standing there silently watching her smiling face till they finish ........ Then he went back to his cabin before she arrives .......

the day went like this ....... Sharanya went to her home ....... By evening 7 she saw a white car was parked infront of her house ....... She went inside she hear some knocking sound she came and see a tall person perfectly suited came to her and says ......

Man : good evening Sharanya mam !..... This is for u ....... Maya mam ne aapko kal dinner keliye invite kiya hai ....... Ye unki taraf se special invitation  hai  ...... tomorrow evening 7 pm Mam will be eagerly waiting for u ....... She just said an ok ....... And then he left saying thank you ........ Sharanya was looking at the bouquet which was completely hiding her figure ....... Then kept on the table ...... And went ......
                 Tomorrow mam invited u for dinner ...... This is special invitation from her side ........
