******************************

Shivaay's office,

      Annika entered into the office and Ramona who was near Annika's desk, welcomed her. Ramona and Natasha with 2-3 other staff people were discussing about today's match and Ramona dragged Annika too in that conversation. Soon Annika also started talking and they went on talking on any random subjects. Sharing some funny messages, memes, n videos which they saw before.

       Shivaay parked his car at his usual place in office parking area and came out. He kept his hand on his heart and he knew that Annika was there already. He took a deep breath.

Shivaay-"come on Shivaay. It's time to be SSO."    
     
      He said doing his famous hair flick and then moved towards the office building.

      He came to the main door n before he entered into the office he heard Annika's laugh. he smiled widely when he heard her voice and came inside. He saw her standing near Ramona and was laughing loudly on something. He stood there looking at her with a small smile playing on his lips. She was wearing a yellow color net saree and was looking pretty as always. Shivaay looked at her face then which was red now due to continuous laughing. Shivaay smiled looking her so happy and prayed to god silently to keep her like this always. He stood their looking at her for few seconds. And came out of his thoughts when one of the employee entered into the office and stopped there only as he saw Shivaay there. That employee was trying to told everyone that their boss is here but everyone was too busy in laughing. Shivaay came from his thoughts by that employee's whispers and looked at him. That employee smiled shippeshly and then Shivaay came back on earth and remembered what he decided. He then again looked at Annika who was still laughing.

Shivaay-"She is looking so happy Shivaay. Is it necessary to do that today only?"

       He asked himself looking ay her smiling face. He don't want to act like Stone Singh Oberoi now as he knew he hurts her everytime in that avtaar in some or other way. N he don't want to do that today not after looking at her happy face. He stood there and then remembered what she was doing from last 2-3 days and nodded in no.

S-"No Shivaay you have to do that now only. Already its too late n before she starts her drama again you have to find it out."

      He again made himself ready and took a deep breath and looked at her first and then at others. Everyone was so busy in their own world that they didn't realize their boss is here not after that other employee's whispers who was standing near Shivaay. Shivaay looked at them for few seconds and then smirked as he got some idea.

       He again did his hair flick and moved towards them.

S-"What's going on?"

      He asked in his rude voice standing beside them.

Annika-"Kuch nhi hum toh aise hi time pass. You can join....."

      She said turning to the person and stopped in shock as Shivaay was standing there. All looked at him and stopped laughing at very next moment. Everyone looked at each other and then looked down. Only Annika was looking at him. She smiled sweetly.

A-"Good morning Sir"

      She said in extra sweet voice. Shivaay ignored her and looked at others.

S-"I asked what's going on here?"

      Everyone was to afraid to say anything. They just stood there looking down. Annika looked at them and then at Shivaay.

A-"Nothing sir, we were just discussing about today's match."

      Annika said and he again ignored her.

S-"Mihir what's going on here?"

      He asked one of the employee. Mihir looked up at him and nodded in no.

Mihir-"S.....Sir....."

A-"I told you na Sir that....."

S-"Ms. Trivedi I asked you to speak? No na?"

A-"Haa but I was....."

S-"Not a word more Ms. Trivedi"

A-"Haww, but maine toh kuch bola bhi nhi na Shiv..... I mean Sir"

      She said and bite her tongue, Shivaay and others looked at her. Before anyone says something Shivaay asked Ramona,

S-"What's happening here Ms. Ramona? Care to explain?"

      He asked angrily and Annika was about to say something when Ramona says,

Ramona-"N..... Nothing sir. We were just....."

A-"We were just discussing about the match and....."

      Annika again interrupted and Shivaay looked at her angrily. She was confused and about to say something when he turned his gaze to others and said,

S-"This is my office not any cafeteria if you want you can resign and then go to cafeteria and talk about all things other than work."

      He shouted and all looked down except Annika.

S-"Now go back to work. It's our players work to play. And your work is to look after all the other things about match. So please focus on that only. Now if I see anyone doing time pass I will fire them on the next moment. Am i clear?"

      He asked showing his famous Tadi and everyone nodded still their heads were down.

A-"But sir, you only said that you can't afford to lose anyone in these three....."

      Before she continues Shivaay roared,

S-"Ms. Trivedi you... come to my cabin right now."

      Shivaay said looking at her angrily and left from there. All looked at Annika who was looking at his cabin with confused expressions.

 
Shivaay's cabin,

      Annika came there and looked at Shivaay who was walking to n fro in his cabin. As soon as she entered he looked at her,

S-"Don't you have manners Ms. Trivedi? It's a very basic thing, you have to knock before entering into anyone's cabin. And here I am your boss."

      He said in same rude voice and she nodded her head in disbelief and came to him.

A-"I can come here whenever I want. And I don't want anyone's permission to come inside. Not yours too."

      She said with smile standing in front of him.

S-"I think you forgot that I am your boss and this is my office."

A-"And I think you forgot who I am. Hai na? Waise why your mood is like this today? Are you ok?"

      She asked in worried tone and was about to touch his forehead but he moved back.

S-"Why you are interfering in my life n my matters haa? Who are you? By which right you were saying all that to them? Why you were defending them?"

A-"Accha you don't know by which right I said that? Really?"

S-"Look Ms. Trivedi, I don't want to listen your idhar udhar ki stupid baate. Tell me why you were defending them?"

A-"Why means? They didn't do any crime ok? Office time se pehle baate kr rahe the. It's normal. And you also told me na, that you can't afford to lose anyone in these three months. So what if they left the job by your continuous scoldings?"

S-"That was not for them ok? That was for you and you....."

      He stopped as she realized what he was saying and looked at Annika who was smirking now.

A-"Accha ji?? Toh that rule is exclusively for this Ms. Trivedi. Hayeee itni special treatment. You can't afford to lose me right?"

      She asked in flow and both looked at each other. Shivaay broke the eyelock after few seconds and then looked at other side. Annika smiled and said rather asked,

A-"Waise Shivaay why your mood is bad today? Something happened or what?"

      She asked and he didn't answer.

A-"Ok listen this joke you will feel good. Rudra sent me that in morning."

S-"Rudra?????"

       He asked looking at her, acting as if he was surprised. She laughed.

A-"Don't try to look shocked Shivaay. You are very bad actor you know? You very well know how I met OmRu yesterday."

S-"Me...? How? How can I knew about it?"

A-"Don't be Bhola Singh Oberoi ok? Khud toh pata laga nhi sake toh dusro ko bhej rahe ho....."

      She said and he just looked at her and then at others side.

A-"Leave that...for now listen this"

      She said looking at her phone.

A-"You know what happened once an ant....."

S-"Ms. Trivedi this is office not any school."

      He said rudely trying to stop her.

A-"School me jokes nhi stories sunate hai Shivaay."

      She smiled sweetly but he ignored that.

S-"Whatever... listen this is office and...."

A-"Ruko na..... Suno toh....toh once an ant who lives in a small forest....."

     Shivaay looked at her and her phone. He knew he have to do something big to stop her stupid tries. So he came forward, snatched her phone and throws it angrily. Annika was startled by his this move. She looked at her broken phone at first and then at him. She was so confused and he saw some fear too in her eyes. So taking advantage he came towards her and held her elbow tightly.

A-"Aah...."

      He released his hold but didn't leave her hand.

S-"Listen Ms. Trivedi, this is my office and people come here for work not for any time pass. Dare you do something like this again. Now go to your desk and do your work."

      He said in loud voice angrily. She looked at his stern face and was scared a bit. She didn't able to conclude what's going on in his mind. She tried to speak but he stopped her again.

S-"I think you didn't hear me Ms. Trivedi, I said go"

      He again shouted. She couldn't able to conclude anything about his behavior. So she decided to go from here for now. She turned to go and Shivaay smiled as she listened to him but was feeling bad for her. He stopped her.

S-"Ms. Trivedi..."

      She turned with a smile.

S-"Who will pick up these pieces?"

      He said looking at her broken phone pieces lying on floor. She looked at him shocked.

S-"Pick them up before I get hurt by them."

      He said and she was more shocked by this. He looked at her for one second and then left from there. Annika looked at his back and called him but he left.

A-"What happened to him? He was fine till yesterday. Everything is good at home too. Yeah he was jealous as maa took my name, but why will he behave like this for that? Something is wrong with him n I have to find out it."

      She said and then sat on the floor and started picking those pieces. She was thinking about his behavior and the possible reasons behind it. So her mind was somewhere else. So she was about to touch one glass piece when someone moved her hand aside. Annika was confused. She looked up and saw Shivaay there. She looked at him first and then at floor.

S-"Are you mad? Dhyaan kaha hai? Lagi toh nhi? Dikhao mujhe"

      He said looking at her hand for any injury. She looked at him without blinking her eyes and smiled when she realized that nothing big happened with him. She sat there with small smile looking at her Caring Singh Oberoi.

A-"Abhi bhi itni care krte ho meri?"

      She asked and he came out of the shock.He looked at her and saw she was smiling. He left her hand not before confirming that there was no any injury. He got up.

S-"What..... What you mean?"

      He said looking here and there.

A-"Why Shivaay?"

      She said coming close to him and he moved back.

S-"Whattt?"

A-"Why you cares so much for me haa? Before two minutes you scolded me and now you are caring for me. Why?"

S-"I.....you....haa.... Haa....You are working here n what if....."

      Before he continues she stopped him by placing her index finger on his lips. He looked at her finger then at her.

A-"Can I give you one suggestion?"

      He looked at her confused. She smiled and moved her hand away from his lips.

A-"Record your these lines in your phone. What's that haa.. 'you are my employee n I can't afford to lose my employee in these three months n  it's your duty to look after them n bla bla bla.....'  haa these ones n some more. Record them. Baar baar bolne me mehnat jaati hai na. So record n play that recording whenever you want."

      Shivaay looked at her shocked and then was about to say something but he knew he can never win in argument with her. And today he was on mission so he wants to focus on that first. He went towards his table without looking at her. She all this while looking at his actions with confused expressions. She knew something is wrong with him today n she wants to know what it is. She was thinking about that when he called her.

S-"Ms. Trivedi come here"

      She went towards his table.

A-"Shivaay it's Annika. How many times I have to tell you one thing haa?"

      He ignored her and throws five files of different different colors in front of her on his desk.

S-"I want those files done with proper presentation within.....yeah within next 4 hours. N I am your boss call me Sir."

      He said looking at his watch. She looked at him shocked and then at those files and then opened one of them and her eyes widened in shock.

A-"What?? These record files? That too 5? In just 5 hours. Shivaay you know na each file takes 3-4 hours. How can I do all of them in just 5 hours. I will do only one, ok?"

S-"I am boss here and it's my duty to order n decide not yours Ms. Trivedi."

A-"Shivaay, something is definitely wrong with you today? Kya hua hai?"

S-"4 hours. You have to complete them in 4 hours."

A-"Haww.... Shivaay I am asking you one simple question instead of answering that you are showing your Tadi, listen....."

S-"3 hours..... I want them ready in next 3 hours. And your time starts now."

      He said again looking at his watch.

A-"Shivaay, this is wrong n you know I can't able to do this as I am new to all these things n one more thing what's wrong with you today?"

S-"Ms. Trivedi it's Sir.... And niw I think you want time less than 3 hours to complete it, right?"

A-"Shivaay....."

S-"If you don't go now na, I will fire you right now, n I am serious about this. Or else I am going from here now and will not come here till your job ended here."

      Shivaay said last line as he knew she will listen to that only. And it worked. She picked those files and left not without,

A-"This will cost you more Shivaay. You just wait n watch what I will do once you came back from your SSO avtaar."

      She said angrily and left from there. He gulped hard hearing her warning but then smiled and started thinking about his next move.

      Annika came to her desk and placed those files on her table.

A-"Something is wrong with him today. But what? He was fine till yesterday. What is the reason for turning into SSO mode? I have to find out."

      She said to herself and then started thinking about his behavior with her today. She was thinking about his words with confused n worried expressions but smiled at the end when she got something.

A-"When I was about to touch that glass he was worried. And what he said in last, that he will not come here if I don't do this work."

      She laughed at her bagadbilla.

A-"Kya dhamki di hai waah..... That means nothing is happened to you. You are just pretending like you are angry, but why?"

      She thought about all possibilities.

A-"Or may be he is planning something. Whatttt?? No no I have to do something or else he..... no no that will never happen."

      She decided something and went towards Ramona's cabin.

R-"But Annika what if....."

      Ramona looked at Annika as he she asked her to go n jump in well.

A-"Mam please for me"

R-"But Annika....."

A-"Please please please....."

      Annika said and Ramona agreed to do that.

R-"But Annika don't you think you both have to speak to each other about all things, rather than playing these stupid games?"

      Ramona said and Annika smiled,

A-"I told you na mam what I want"

R-"I am talking about Shivaay sir. You said na he is playing some games. So why he is not talking to you instead of doing such things."

A-"I also want that mam. But as I told you before he will never do that. First he will find out about the truth and now will talk. So let's see what happens. How can he get it from me."

      Annika said with a sad smile and Ramona patted her back.

A-"Ok now go and do as I said ok?"

R-"Haa"

A-"All the best."

      Annika said and Ramona left from there.
