Gauri entered om's cabin nervously.

G:-I'm sorry sir. won't repeat it.

Without even giving  a response, om just kept going through some files.

G:-Sir I'm sorry, (she said a little more louder thinking that he didn't hear the first time.)

Om raised his eyes and glared at her,, and again continued what he was doing.

G:-Si..

O:-I heard, don't need to play it in repeat mode.

G:-then can't you say me earlier that you heard (she whispered herself, being irritated with his behavior)

O:-What?  Did u say something?

G:-No no, nothing sir.

Om handed gauri, the file he was looking.

O:-This is the list of meetings I have for today. Arrange everything accordingly! Then check my emails,and deal with them. Thats your job as my PA.

Gauri nodded with a smile.

O:-and here, this is my business phone number. Attend the calls in it and talk with them.

G:-me,, how can I?

O:-Its nothing,, just pen out what they say,, then inform me. And I will tell u what to say them.

G:-Ok sir!

O:-being my assistant you will be accompanying me, wherever I go. Always carry my meeting chart with you. Ok, so I have meeting with the Mehra's afternoon, be ready. We will have the lunch from outside.

G:-but si..

R:-om bhaiyya, can I come in?

O:-Yeah.

R:-why did you asked me to come
    today?

O:- I need you to help me arrange  for a party!

G:-wowww partyy

Om and rudra glared at her.

G:-I'm sorry (she said with a pout)

om rolled his eyes.

O:-Mrs Sharma, you can go to your cabin.

Gauri made a sad pouting face as she left.

R:-So what's the party for?

O:- Actually I got a deal with the Kapoors. It's quite big deal for our company's growth. Today there's a meeting with him in the evening, and then we will sign the deal officially! (he said a happy smile)

R:-wowww Om i'm soo happy for you,, (but suddenly he stops smiling)

O:-hey what happened?

R:-why om,, for whom are you struggling this much,, why should you work like a slave day and night for those people who don't even value you? Don't be sooo selfless om.

O:-I have to rudy, I have to.. for my badi maa. From the time our parents died, it was only she who genuinely cared for us .Only this way we can pay back her.

R:- but seriously do you think badi maa is happy. Understand it om,its that Tej ,and his children who is enjoying all these luxury, they don't even care for badi maa.

O:-I know rudy, the only thing badi maa wants is to live with her family till her death, If I have not agreed to work like this Mr. Tej would have divorced badi maa. should I have to tell you, what would have happened to badi maa then? 

R:-what about your happiness om? You have  a life too.

O :-I have you and badi maa, you both are enough for me to be happy.

R:-but.

O:-lets end this topic,, help me for the party. And yeah, Kabir and Ishana will be attending the party, so don't make issues with them, atleast for me.

R:-aghhh ,you know na ,I just don't like them. They behave as if they were born with a golden spoon in mouth.

Om just chuckled.

O:-Its getting late, I have a meeting now with the mehra's .come join us, we will have lunch together.

R:-ok!

×××××××

G:-what does he think of himself,, I was saying him sorry, and don't even mind it. Agghh rudy bhaiyya was correct, he's the most arrogant in earth.

Gauri was talking to herself in her cabin.

G:-Hitler was much better than him I think,, what will I do now, it's getting bored (she said swirling around in her chair)

She suddenly stopped swirling, thinking about the incident which happened in the morning.

G:-Hitler will eat me up, if he sees me swirling,, what was he saying 'should I take you to children's park "huh,, one day I will make you swing at a children's park, Hitler.

G:-but what will I do now,, yeah let's sing on smule.

She takes her phone, and starts to sing on her phone.

"Mein tenu samjhawan ki
Na tere bina lagda ji (2)
Tu ki jaane pyaar mera....

That's when om opened her cabin. He was too surprised to her singing so sweetly. he just stood there enjoying her singing.He couldn't deny the fact that she was tooo pretty, he was lost adoring her beauty.

Gauri didn't see him as she was singing with her eyes closed.

....tu dil tu yoh jaan meri
Mein samjhawan ki,
Na tere bina lagda ji "

She happily opened her eyes, feeling happy aftr singing, but was shocked to see her boss staring at her lost.

G:-sir, do you want something?

O:-beautiful!

G:-huh?

O:-huh.. mm.. woh, I mean the song!  (he said embarrassed)

G:-really?  (she asked happily)

O:-yeahh,, it was amazing,, you sound so sweet.

Gauri couldn't help but blush at his compliment.

G:-Tha.. Thank you sir!

O:-you're welcome,,now come down in 5 min. We have to leave for the meeting.

Aftr he left,

G:-areyy then say your maa to pack food for you,, why to have this unhealthy food all day.
