NEXT MORNING:

Samaira woke up unusually early, and dressed up in beautiful crisp navy blue knee-length dress for her big interview. She tied her hair in a pony tail and applied light make-up to look like a thorough professional, no-nonsense girl.

"Subah subah kahan chal di itni....itni," Sonakshi checked out her normally tom boyish sister from head to toe, "professional type bankar?"

"Not everyone has the luxury to stay in college all her life....kisi ko toh aate-dal ka bhaav pataa hona chaahiye na iss ghar mein?" Samaira teased her.

"Good luck with your interview......you must be really interested in this job, tabhi itni serious hai!" Sonakshi conjectured.

Samaira picked her handbag and tied a beautiful blue scarf around her neck and waved, "bye Sonakshi...I will need all the luck." She swung her bag on her shoulder and left the apartment, "Pataa nahin job mein interested hoon ya kisi aur mein?" she smiled as she remembered Rehaan's poster from last night.

ELENA AGGARWAL's OFFICE:

"May I come in ma'am?" Samaira knocked on the door softly, "I am Samaira Bose."
Elena Aggarwal, a young lady in her 20's, tall, thin and graceful, looked up and glanced at her watch, "Oh...abhi toh sirf 9.30 huye hain.....aap jaldi aa gayi."

"OK...I will wait in the lobby ma'am," Samaira said politely

"NO...NO...come in...come in," Elena smiled, "we love to hire people who are so punctual.....you have already passed the first phase of your interview......aa jao....I will give you some paperwork in the mean time."

Samaira walked in like an obedient girl and sat down, "thanks ma'am."

"You can call me Elena," her friendly smile was a pleasant surprise for Samaira, as she had heard horror stories about strict discipline and the business-like culture of the company.

Elena Aggarwal

"Here you go.....you have to take this 100 question test first," Elena handed her a thin booklet.

"Test?" Samaira was horrified.

"Yes.....Dev sir wants to make sure all his employees are smart enough for this company.....iss test ke bina wo aapko consider bhi nahin karenge," Elena replied.

Samaira hated tests and exams; she was upset with her dad, that he did not prep her about this part of the interview. She had thought, a phone call from an illustrious ex-employee was enough to get her the job.

Now Samaira was essentially a very smart girl, if she chose to apply her brains. She knew that she could not lose this opportunity to work with her superhero; so she took the test very seriously and with full concentration.

"Here you go Elena," Samaira handed her the booklet.

"Great....have a cup of coffee...I will be right with you," Elena stood up and went to another room.

"Congratulations! You have aced the test Ms Samaira!" Elena came back in a few minutes, with a big smile, "you must be a very good student."

"Well...it depends on the circumstances," Samaira replied

"Circumstances? Aap bahut modest hain.....Dev sir loves that quality in his employees.....well.....everything looks good....bas ek problem hai," Elena pondered over Samaira's paperwork.

"Kya?" Samaira was worried

"Aapka naam!" Elena looked up apologetically.

"Naam?" Samaira was baffled

"Yes....Dev sir does not like names like Samaira etc.....wo sirf desi naam pasand karte hain," Elena replied

"OH! Not a problem," she took her paperwork back and erased her name, "here you go!" Samaira handed it back to Elena

"Sonakshi Bose?Hmm....that will do.....but are you sure you want to do that?" Elena asked

Samaira nodded, "aapki company mein kaam karna mere liye bohot prestigious hai....waise bhi mere ghar waale mujhey pyaar se Sonakshi hi bulaate hain...Samaira toh bas meri friends ke liye hai."

Samaira thought Dev already knew her as Sonakshi, so why not make use of the familiarity.....after all once he got to know her better, she would tell him the truth. She had a goal and she knew she would do anything to achieve it! Love lives of all superheroes always started in their native avators......and Dev was Rehaan's native form! He would understand why she had concealed her true identity, just like she would 'forgive' him for being Rehaan one day! They would be even then, and he would have no reason to get upset with her. Samaira had already started day dreaming about her superhero, even before she was fully hired by the company.

"Good! OK come with me.....let's go and meet a few more people and finally you will meet Dev sir, who will finally decide your employment....OK?" Elena led the way to an impressive, state-of-the art facility with cabins and rows of employees engrossed in their computers and files. Samaira cringed at the sight; she had never imagined in her wildest dreams that she would be working at such a geeky place!

She felt a little stuffy and untied her scarf, and let it just hang around her neck.

After meeting a few boring people and impressing them with her charming and polite self, Elena finally led Samaira to Dev's office.

"May I come in sir?" Elena knocked on his door, "Dev sir...your candidate is here."

Dev was on the phone and just gestured her to send the candidate in.

"Good luck!" Elena wished Samaira and left.

Samaira walked in quietly and sat on the chair across from Dev. He was, as usual, immaculately dressed in a suit with well gelled hair and squeaky clean glasses and manicured hands.

He finally looked up after hanging up and almost fell off his chair, "TUM?!!!AAP????....mera matlab hai....WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?????"

"Hello Dev sir.....main yahan kaam ke liye aayi hoon....don't be scared," Samaira said politely

Dev settled in his chair and took a big gulp, "I didn't realize that you were the new candidate," he had flashes of her asking him all those embarrassing questions about his virginity and stripping in front of her.

Dev went over her paperwork and looked perplexed, "21 years old? 100% marks on our test.....toh iska matlab aapne mujhsey jhooth bola tha?"

"Sorry Dev sir!" Samaira bowed her head apologetically.

"OK.....first things first......are you really serious about working here? If you are, I need to lay some ground rules for you," Dev adjusted his tie, as something about Samaira still made him uneasy.

"Yes sir! Very serious.....in fact, I have always wanted to work in a company like yours....aur maine suna hai ki aapke under kaam karke main bahut kuch seekh sakti hoon," she said innocently

Dev looked at her from the top of his steel rimmed glasses, "yeh toh time hi bataayega."

"Kya sir? Yahi ki aap mujhey sikhaate hain ya phir main...." She paused as she did not want to harass him on her first day.

"OK...RULE #1 NO PERSONAL DISCUSSIONS HERE! Hamare beech jo bhi hua tha....uska zikr bhi nahin hona chaahiye iss office mein.....keep it very professional....OK?" Dev said sternly

"Waise sir...hamare beech kuch hua tha kya?" Samaira could not resist teasing him.

Dev coughed a little, "nahin...mera...mera matlab hai.....wo jo bhi shaadi....you know what I mean ki baat huyi thi....it is all in the past.......so please don't even mention it...OK?"

"Yes sir! Aur kya rules hain?" Samaira asked

"Punctuality....very important....yahan haar kaam clock ke hisaab se hota hai!" he looked at his watch.

"Theek hai sir......lekin agar clock kaam na karr rahi ho tho?" she asked

"We have clocks in every room Sonakshi jee.....yahan time kabhi nahin rukta!" he hated too many questions.

Samaira looked around- he was right-there were more clocks in his office than there were in her whole house!

"Ok sir...next rule?" she asked

Dev gazed at her low V-neck of her dress, which barely revealed part of her cleavage, and then felt flustered, "dress code......no vulgar dresses or skirts......aapke ankles tak cover hona chaahiye sab."

Samaira noticed him gazing at her; she smiled naughtily and said, "parr sir aap ne toh meri ankles abhi dekhi hi nahin.....aapki nazar toh kahin aur hi ruk gayi hai!"

Dev turned red at being caught by Samaira, "Oh....no...no...wo....YEH SCARF KYON PEHEN RAKHA HAI AAPNE? AT LEAST HAVE THE DECENCY TO TIE A KNOT OR SOMETHING!"

Samaira obeyed her boss and tied a knot, "OK sir....aur kuch?"

"No that will be enough," he looked away and pressed the intercom button, "Vicky...please come to my office....I have hired someone for your group."

Samaira was elated, "so I am hired?"

Dev looked up and stuttered, "well...yeah...yes....Vicky Saxena will be your immediate boss...he is a very sincere and hard working man....usey parshaan mat karna...samjhi?"

"Pareshaan? Main kisi ko pareshaan nahin karti sir.....ab main kya karoon agar koi apne aap pareshaan ho jaaye toh?" she made an innocent face and got up.

Samaira walked towards the door but in order to tease Dev, turned back and asked, "are you sure sir, you want me to cover my beautiful legs with a longer dress?"

Dev was really embarrassed now, "Sonakshi jee.....aap please jaaiye aur apna kaam shuru kariye."

"Lekin Mr Vicky ke liye wait nahin karna?" she asked

"Oh...yes...yes...he should be here any moment....there he is," Dev was relieved to see Vicky walking towards his office.

"Vicky! I am glad you are here...yeh Sonakshi Bose hain....she will help you in the accounts department...inhey please saara kaam samjha dena," Dev was eager to get rid of Samaira as soon as possible; she had already managed to disturb his peace for the day.

"Hello Miss Sonakshi....I am Vicky," he smiled and extended his hand.

Vicky Saxena

Samaira shook his hand firmly and instantly liked his warmth and friendliness.

"Let's go...shall we?" Vicky led the way and then turned around, "Dev...yaad hai na aaj sham ko 7  baje Swiss clients ke saath dinner hai?"

Dev scratched his forhead, "Oh aaj sham ko? Aaj toh mom ke saath poornima ki puja mein jaana hai."

"Oh Dev...this meeting is very important...can't you miss one puja?" Vicky pleaded.

Dev looked up and then glanced at Samaira, who was gesturing with her lips, "M-O-M-M-Y'S B-O-Y"

Dev composed himself and looked at Vicky confidently, "OK Vicky...we will go....I will tell mom not to wait for me tonight!"

Samaira saw the relief on Vicky's face and tried best to hide her smile from both of them.

Just as they were leaving, Dev called for her, "Ms Sonakshi Bose...can I ask you a question? Vicky....if you don't mind?" he indicated he needed to talk to her alone.

Samaira went back to his office and stood in front of him.

Dev looked at her and then turned his gaze away, "agar aapko shaadi nahin karni thi toh wo sab naatak kyon kiya tha?"

Samaira smiled sardonically, "Sir....rule # 1....no personal discussions here? Am I right? I would hate to break the rules on my first day itself," she gave him a seductive look and traced her finger on his tie, "see you later sir.....aapke saath kaam karne mein bahut maza aayega sir!"

She turned around and walked away, leaving a perspiring Dev behind.
