"Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war ; love is a growing up."

Next morning,
Annika's House,

      Annika was running in the hall with some papers in her hand. Sahil was behind her, asking her to calm down. Sahil came in front of her and stood there.

Sahil-"Annika didi....."

Annika-"Sahil, you will manage na? Look we are new here and may be I will not able to come early. And you are....."

Sahil-"Uff Annika didi stop."

      She stopped and looked at him.

Sahil-"I'll manage didi. Why you are so nervous ha? This is not your first job ok.... Just calm down."

Annika -"How can I? We are new here? Your leg is paining. I have to go to office so who will look after you?"

      Sahil hugs her.

Sahil-"Don't worry didi I'll manage."

A-"Pakka??"

Sahil-"Haa now go to your bagadbilla or else he would get angry"

A-"Sahil, he is no one to me. And stop calling him by such names. We are not connected to him now so we have not any right to call him by such names."

Sahil-"But Annika didi....."

A-"Mujhe late ho raha hai Sahil. Take care. And call me if you want something."

      Sahil nodded and Annika hugs him.

A-"Bye"

      She said and left from there. As soon as Annika left, Shivaay came there.

Shivaay-"Good Morning"

Sahil-"What are you doing here? Ghar nhi gaye the?"

Shivaay-"Gaya tha"

Sahil-"So go to office na. Annika didi left already."

Shivaay-"I know that. But I am the boss, I can go when I want to."

Sahil-"Ho gayi start Tadi... Mujhe nhi Annika didi ko dikhani hai Tadi"

Shivaay-"Haa use bhi dikhaungi. First eat this. I brought it for you. Your favorite-Desi ghee ke chowmein"

Sahil-"Woww.... Thank you."

      Sahil started eating. Shivaay sat there looking at him lovingly. After Sahil finishes,

Shivaay-"Ok now take rest. If you have any problem, call me. And look he is one of our security guard. He will be here till evening"

      He said pointing to the man who stands outside the house. Sahil looked at him and nodded.

Shivaay-"And don't worry. First hum tumhara operation krenge uske baad school bhi phirse join kr sakte ho."

Sahil-"Ok. SSO I want to meet Om and Rudra Bhaiya."

Shivaay-"Abhi nhi. I'll tell them about your arrival in few days. Then you can meet them. Ok?"

      Sahil nodded.

Shivaay-"Now take rest and call me if you need anything. Bye"

Sahil-"Bye SSO , all the best"

Shivaay-"Thank you"

      Shivaay kissed his forehead and left from there.

Shivaay's office,

(This office is not Oberoi Industry. This is for that cricket team related things.)

      Annika came there and looked at the big building. She was so nervous, scared and sad. She didn't want to see or meet Shivaay again after that incidence....but now she have to work with him...no no no work for him for next 3 months.

      She took a deep breath and entered in the office. She came to the receptionist and that receptionist told her that Ramona was waiting for her in her cabin. Annika nodded and went to Ramona's cabin.

      Ramona welcomes her with a lovely smile and she explains every work to Annika. Ramona showed her the whole office. Annika listened everything with so much concentration. When Ramona was showing her office she got to know that Shivaay is not there. She sighs in relief. She asked Ramona about Shivaay then Ramona said that he has so much work to handle in Oberoi Industry, so he came here once or twice in a week. Annika was happy now. As she didn't want to see him and she knew that in his presence she can't able to concentrate on work. But she very well knew Shivaay, she knew that he will do something to trouble her. But for now, he is not there. So , Annika decided to start her work with fresh mind and without any tension, nervousness.

      Ramona showed Annika her desk and gave her some files to read. Ramona left after wishing her all the best. Annika sat on her chair and looked around the office. She then opened that file to read.

At 11 AM,

      Annika was busy reading the files , she was so engrossed in her work that Ramona came to her two times but she didn't realize. Ramona left after talking with Annika. Annika again started her work and was engrossed in that.

      Shivaay first went to Oberoi Industry and then came here. He came out of the car and felt Annika's presence. He kept his hand on his heart and smiled. He was walking towards the office building but stopped in middle.

Shivaay-"Stop smiling Shivaay. Don't forget you have to torture Annika. But what to do Annika ka naam lete hi......ok I'll try to be rude."

        He remembered last 15 days and blinked his eyes once. He did his famous hair flick and entered in the office building.

      As soon as he entered into the office all employees gets up from their seat to wish him good morning. But he didn't paid attention to him and looked at the Annika's desk. He asked Ramona to give Annika that desk which are in front of his cabin so that he can able to see her all the time from his cabin. He looked at her and a small smile appeared on his face but he hide it immediately.

       Annika who was busy in her work felt something in her heart. She kept her hand on her heart.

A-"Why I am feeling like he is....."

     She looked up and stopped as her eyes met Shivaay. Her heartbeat skipped as she saw him. Both were looking at each other , their eyes were locked but Shivaay broke the eyelock and turned his gaze to other side. She looked down and closed her eyes. As soon as she looked down Shivaay looked at her. She opened her eyes and again started her work.

     Shivaay smirked and started walking towards his cabin. Everyone was wishing him good morning he was just nodding his head. Shivaay came towards her desk but she didn't get up and didn't wish him too. He came and stood in front of her table.

S-"Ms. Trivedi..."

      Annika thought he was calling someone else. So she didn't react and continued her work. Shivaay looked at her and banged his hand on her table, he shouted,

S-"Ms. Trivedi....."

      Annika looked at him confused and gets up from her seat.

S-"Don't you have manners? Everyone is wishing me good morning and you are sitting here. And I am calling you still you are not paying attention. What's wrong Ms. Trivedi"

      He was stressing on the word 'Ms. Trivedi' everytime he said it.

A-"Ms.....Tri..... Trivedi?"

S-"Your name is Ms. Trivedi na? You forgot about it??" Strange....." He said in mocking voice.

A-"M...my na...name is Anni....."

S-"Ms. Trivedi, I know it's your first day. But it is one common thing that you have to respect your boss. And what are you doing"

A-"What I am doing?"

S-"Don't you know? Look at everyone....they are wishing me good morning....and you... You are busy in your own world. I am calling you still you are not responding"

A-"I thought you are calling someone else"

S-"Really?? I think Ms. Ramona introduced you to everyone here. And none of them is Ms. Trivedi except you."

      Annika just looked at him. She was so hurt hearing Ms. Trivedi from his mouth.

S-"Where are you lost now? Hello Ms. I am talking to you."

      He said and banged his hand again on the table, but winced in pain after he did so. Annika immediately looked at his hand.

      Tears formed in her eyes and she looked at him.

A-"Shiv....."

S-"Ms. Trivedi , I hope you understood what I said. Now concentrate on your work ."

A-"Y...your hand Shiv....."

S-"Seriously Ms. Trivedi you don't know how to behave with your boss. Concentrate on your work. And once you done with this , come to my cabin. I'll appoint you next task."

      He said without looking at her and left from there. Annika sat on her chair. She was worried about his injury.

A-"What happened to his hand? I think that injury is fresh. Kaise laga hoga but? Kitna pain ho raha hoga....."

      She was thinking about him but stopped,

A-"Why I am thinking about him. Jo bhi ho unhe, mujhe kya..... Mujhe kuch farak nhi padta. Kyu padega unhone mere saath yeh kiya tha tab unhe bhi koi farak nhi pada tha na....."

      She said looking at her hand which had injury. Suddenly something strikes in her mind.

A-"Kahi woh injury..... No no no why will he do that... He hates me now so.....but if it is true then...... No no it's not true. Yeah I am sure it's not because of my this injury."

      She was confused. Her mind and her heart both are fighting with each other. So, she removed that thought from her mind and started working. But in  her heart she was not feeling good.

     After sometime, she went to his cabin after gathering lots of courage. She knocked on the door. He said,

S-"Come in"

      Annika entered into his cabin and looked at him. He was already looking at the door. As soon as she entered, their eyes met. Annika walked towards him in trance. They both were looking at each other, as if asking many question which are troubling them from last few days.

      Annika came in front of his desk and stopped as his phone rings. He broke the eyelock and attend call looking at the other side. She stood there looking at his injured hand. Shivaay cuts the call and looked at her who was lost somewhere.

S-"Ms. Trivedi"

      She came back from her thoughts and looked at him.

A-"Huh..?"

S-"Oh finally you got it that I am calling you only. Thank god"

      Annika looked at him for some seconds.

A-"Why are you behaving like this?"

S-"Like what?"

A-"You know what I am talking about. Calling me Ms. Trivedi and....."

S-"Excuse me, if your name is Ms. Trivedi so I'll call you by that only , hai na?"

A-"Accha? You know what....."

S-"I don't know anything and I am not interested in it also. I called you here for some work."

A-"Which work?"

      Shivaay took one file and throwed it in front of her on the desk.

S-"Sign it"

A-"What's this?"

S-"The rules and conditions of this job which Ramona sent you. I want your signature there."

A-"Why?? You think I'll leave this job?"

S-"May be....yes..."

A-"Woww..... If I want to leave this job, why I joined this haa? I am not going to leave this job , don't worry"

S-"Any guarantee?"

A-"Kaisi guarantee? I am telling you na , nahi chodungi yeh job me next 3 months tak. Trust me."

S-"Trust you??"

      He laughed.

S-"There are many things that you promised me before. But then broke that promises. And asking me to trust you on this? Woww just woww..... I am not fool this time Ms. Trivedi. No I can't trust you."

A-"You are saying this?? Yeh toh meri lines honi chahiye na..... Promises break krna is your habit not mine."

      Shivaay looked at her. She was looking at him with so much anger and pain in her eyes. He gets up from his seat and came to her.

S-"I didn't call you here to listen your bakwaas. This is my company and you have to follow the rules."

      He took that file and throwed on her face. She caught it in her hand.

S-"Sign it."

A-"Alright. Aur expect bhi kya kr sakte hai aapse..... Har baat ka proof chahiye jab baat meri ho but in return aap koi explanation, proof mat do apni harkaton ka....."

      She signed that papers and throwed that file on his face and turned to leave.

S-"Stop"

      She stopped but didn't turn.

S-"Maine bola jaane ke liye?"

      He said angrily and came towards her.

S-"Listen Ms. Trivedi....apna yeh jo attitude hai na use ghar pr chod aana kal se. I hate people who shows attitude to me."

      She looked at him and again turned to leave.

S-"Maine abhi bhi jaane ko nhi bola hai."

A-"I have lots of work. Khali nhi baithi hu."

S-"I also called you for work, not for time pass"

A-"But you are doing that only"

S-"I said don't show me attitude... Leave it. This is your first task. You have to collect all information about them, all information means information from their past matches."

      He said and gave her a list of all players name.

A-"Ok, where are the record files?"

S-"In the store room, on ground floor. Go there and collect all information today itself. You have to make records for each player. Now go and start the work."

      He said but she didn't listen  what he said after first sentence.

Annika-"What?? Store..... Store room?? No I can't go....."

      She said with fear in her voice. When Ramona showed her office in the morning , Annika saw that store room. That store room was at the ground floor. And there is no any other department or rooms there. And there was no lights in the corridor only one small bulb in the room. And that ground floor is covered with darkness. She held Ramona's hand and request her to go from there. She was so scared. And now Shivaay asking her to go there , that too alone.

S-"Kya kaha tumne?"

A-"I will not go there....."

S-"Ms. Trivedi , you are my employee. And you have to follow my orders."

A-"Yes but....."

S-"What but? You signed on the document where written 'you can't say no to any work'... Remember?"

A-"Shivaay aap jaante hai na ki mujhe....."

S-"Excuse me, What did you call me? Shivaay???  What's wrong with you? I am your boss call me 'Sir'."

A-"Mein Shivaay hi bolungi. N mein waha nhi jaaungi."

      She said and looked at the other side. Shivaay came close to her angrily and she looked at him. He held her hand tightly and twisted it behind her. She winced in pain.

S-"Listen, I said don't show me this attitude. You are my employee and you have to call me Sir. Like others call me as sir."

A-"I am your employee , right? So you bahave like this with each and everyone here who are your employee?"

      She said looking at his hands which were holding her hands and his face which was so close to hers. He looked at her confused.

A-"Tell me, aise hi behave krte ho kya every employee se? Jo employee baat nhi maanta use aise hi pakdate ho?"

      He looked at her shocked and immediately left her and stood there looking at the other side.

A-"First you behave like boss then tell me to behave like employee"

      He looked at her.

S-"Don't waste your time here Ms. Trivedi. I want all the records today itself. Go to store room and collect them. And haa don't give excuses."

A-"Ok fine, I know what you are trying to do...... But don't forget I am Annika. I can do anything. I'll do this work. Just wait n watch. Don't worry you will get all records in few hours."

      She said and left from there while Shivaay stood there smiling.
