Swara Bose  :"He was perfect "

                 He didn't even notice that their hands were entwined.  Only when we reached inside his cabin did he let go of her hand . And  reached for  his intercom and announced to his PA that he should not be disturbed for awhile .

   She couldn't understand his behavior , she didn't know what would be his reason for dragging her into his cabin and then it dawned on her that may be he was going to  dismiss her from the job ,  and he felt the need to protect her privacy by doing it without on lookers .

             Maybe it was all to avoid an scandal later, He would think about his company's social image and she understood his reasons . She always knew her luck can never last and she got the job in an unethical way and yet her pride won't allow  her to be dismissed for her conduct ,  instead she preferred to resign on her own .

      So  she quickly searched her bag to find the resignation letter she had written three days ago when her conscience bothered her about getting her paycheck . Though she changed her mind ,the letter remained in her bag .

      Before  she could place it on the desk and apologize, His voice rang out. And his words made her wonder if she was dreaming .  Because nothing explained why he would be the one to apologize .

                 " Why would you apologize ,I am the one who made a mistake " Swara spoke up  as she wondered the reason behind his apology. 

               And his words amazed her , He said sorry because he misunderstood her , apparently he  believed she had  used his name . Here she  was worried he was going to fire her . 

        But when he stressed on how he imagined she used their one date to gain her job ,she felt the need to clarify that she would never use him in such way .

      Yet she didn't because she knew  he  couldn't possibly believe her ,when she did something similar with his  brother.  She knew she had lost his trust by her actions.

                 
             She could simply go on and pretend it didn't bother her but it did and at that moment she knew she can't continue to work in the company , even if he didn't dismiss her ,it was better to leave on her own with an sincere apology.

            She quickly placed the white sheet over the desk and said those three words she was desperate to say, " I am sorry ".  Then she started rambling which was her  trait when she  got  nervous.

        She told him about her dream of having a steady job and  her desperateness which led her to  do the worst thing to attain it .  And she promised that she   will quit the job since she didnt deserve it .

         And in an move that totally surprised her ,he asked her not to do so.  He told her ,  she need not resign because she was good at the job . And yet she knew there was another obstacle in her path .

            She didn't know how she found the courage but she told him working with his brother will make her uncomfortable .

         He simply raised his head and looked at her ,then after a beat of silence asked her if it was   an bad breakup. That she could answer with honesty as she claimed  that it was the worst and added the fact they  might kill each other if they  met later.

                       And he simply nodded as if he understood her reasons . And just like that her  dream job was gone and she was  back to being unemployed. She slowly rose up from her   chair and walked towards the door.

      When his voice halted her yet again ,she turned around and it took her a moment to accept what he was saying because  the fact be promised to look into other departments and  check if she can transfer to some other department was too good to be true .

       She mumbled a small thanks  and walked away smiling  . He knew her worst side and yet he was willing to let her work. But then she remembered lucky and she  couldn't  believe he was  related to him. Because for one he was  so perfect.

Sanskaar Maheshwari:" She drives him crazy "

   Sanskar Maheshwari, The ruthless, arrogant business man wouldn't have  let a small tactical error by an employee slide but here he was  willing  to let Swara mistake slide. 

         Maybe  it was because she was  family. And he  knew he  would do the same for laksh. And that what he made himself  believe when he decided to let Swara keep working in his  company.

                        But even then he still couldn't believe he  let her work as his  personal assistant. He  had a valid reason for such decision ,  First their was no vacany in any other department. And no one was willing to transfer departments with her either. So he had no other option.

    His  personal assistant was  going on an personal leave for his wedding. The job was supposed to be vacant till he got back from his honey moon and Sanskar  really didn't need an substitute  till then but Swara needed an job.

        Hence here she was staring at him for his  next order. It been just two week since she started working as his PA. He had told her it was an temporary offer till his PA  gets  back and in the mean time he will find her an suitable position in  other departments . She didn't complain about it. Truth to be told she seemed more happy about it. But while she was happy he was  this close to be driven crazy by her.

                  She was good at her job, No doubt. Honestly he  would have  no complaints with her if not just her mere presence drives him  crazy for some unexplainable reason.

       Maybe it because he can't act normal with her. She decided to treat him  as her boss and she had created an barrier between them ever since she found out he was laksh brother. And he hate that, Hated feeling left out.

      She never once talked with him outside the business matters . He knew that how it should be but he can't seem to be okay with that,  he wanted to know more about her,  he  wanted  to know why she dated his  brother.

          Well he was not jealous, though he had keep reminding himself that every time whenever his thoughts ran around his brother and her .

    He finally admitted at least to himself that he  was curious about her and after two weeks of silence from her side. He had enough and decided to act upon it.

                     And the opportunity came only an week later. He had an important client meeting that stretched for longer than intended. It was around 8 PM when the meeting concluded and he decided to drop Swara at her home.

          It was the most logical thing he decided. And on the way he had an list of  questions that he  can casually add into the conversation. He was excited about it.

                              He expected her to accept the offer right away but she said no, She said she will be staying at her friend house today and she was completely fine going home alone .But something seemed different with her. She seemed troubled and anxious.

      For once his curiosity took the back seat  as he  was really worried about her. So he insisted that he will drop her at her friend house which was rejected as well. Then she lied saying it was not actually a friend house but an date.

     He knew she was lying because she didn't look like she was going on an date, he asked her once again but nope she kept rejecting his offer.

                            And he  honestly couldn't pester her more than he already did before coming across as arrogant .  So he let the matter drop and drove back  home.

        Still he  couldn't relax. When the clock stuck  9.00  , he  decided he should drive by her house to see if she reached home safely .  Yeah he felt like an stalker but he can't help but feel something was troubling her.

            He has  never been to her house. All he had was her  address  from the PI report and locating her house  in the night with that seemed bit difficult so he decided to ask the local vendor shop for directions . 

    And he was glad he stopped in that shop. People love small talk and love sharing gossip  and sometime they just annoy us  but sometime they kind of help as well ,  Like this instance. All he  asked was the direction to Shekhar house (Swara father)  but the lovely vendor not only provided him  with the directions but also the current scenario at the house.

      And finally Swara behavior made sense. He was angry that she didn't tell me anything. He  could have helped but he knew she had her reasons for not coming to him as they were just acquaintance. 

          Now that he knew, he was not going to sit quietly while Swara is forced to get married to an man twice her age.  Today was her engagement the local vendor said ,  He assumed Sanskar was one of the guests and talked freely about what he thought of the wedding. In simple terms he felt bad for the kid aka Swara for having an father like Shekhar.

                  Just like he mentioned the house was decorated as if it was an happy occasion. It not an happy occasion when you force your daughter to get married. It finally made sense why Swara was so hesitant to let me take her home. She didn't want me to find out about it. But too bad he found out and he was not gonna let it happen.

         He entered the house and everyone  treated him like an guest and ignored his presence  ,  until he walked a little too close to the bride and everyone attention was focused on him .

          The moment she saw him ,her face widened with relief and yet all he saw was the fear in her face before she noticed him .  He didn't know what propelled him to do or  say what he did.

    But he figured that will be the only thing that stops this wedding. He announced himself as her boyfriend and declared that this wedding will not happen. Everyone was shocked by his statement including the bride whose position in his  life changed from personal assistant to girlfriend in matter of seconds.
