Ragini smiled brightly standing in front of the building 'RSS Corporation'. Finally she got a perfect job. She can't wait to work there.

With her steady smile she headed inside. She went to the reception. A girl was talking on the phone and writing something on the paper. She waited for few minutes to let her complete the call.

Ragini (to the recepionist) - Excuse Me?

Recepionist (putting back the phone on receiver, with a smile) - Yes, How can I help you?

Ragini - I interviewed here and just yesterday got the call that I got the job. O Sorry, I am Ragini btw.

Recepionist (looking through some papers) - Ragini Sinha? (She nodded) O yes, yes. You are in the finance department. Just go the the 11th floor and meet Mr. Anurag, who took your interview. He will tell you afterwards.

Ragini smiled and said a 'Thank You' to her and headed towards the lift.

She was waiting for the lift to come, along with several other people, when she listened two girl whispering to eachother.

Girl1 - You know, he came today. O God, I was flying when he flash his perfect smile to me.

Girl2 - Don't be flatter, Pre. You know naa..how he is.

Pre - So what Swara, everyone can change.

Swara - Not him. He changes girls like he change clothes. Stop being so infatuated with him.

Pre - That's not infatuation, That's love.

Swara rolled her eyes at her repetetive comment. She looked around and then her eyes fixed on Ragini.

Swara (with a smile) - Hey, You are new here?

Ragini(smiled back) - Yes.

Swara - Which department?(forwarding her hand) O btw, I am Swara and she is Prerna.

Ragini - Finance department. (shook her hand) Ragini.

Her eyes gleam with excitement.

Swara (excited) - So, you are Ragini. Aonu told me about the interview and you are joining here.

She laughed seeing her confused face.

Swara - I work in the finance deptt. too. (she saw the lift door open) Come let's headed inside.

She was about to go inside it when the door of the private elevator open and a Man wearing a black suit dashed out of it with so much anger.

She felt nervous all of a sudden. Don't know why but there was  something familiar with that man. She couldn't able to see his face but she feels like she know him.

Swara - Come naa, Ragini.

She came out of her trance and nodded.

Ragini (feeling anxious) - Who was he?

Swara (rolling her eyes) - He is the son of our boss. A true heartbreaker, if I tell you.

Prerna (dreamily) - And he is mine.

Swara shook her head seeing her friend swooning over that man. And this was the first time she spoke before Ragini, otherwise she was drooling over that guy in her dreams, with wide open eyes.

Swara - Ignore her. She had a huge crush on him.

Ragini was still feeling uneasy but she put those feelings aside as soon as they reached there floor.

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

Anurag (forwarding his hand) - Welcome to the RSS corporation, Ms. Ragini.

Ragini - Thank you sir.

Anurag - Aah..!! Don't be so formal. Just call me Anurag. I am not some Kharus boss of yours.

Ragini laughed little and nodded and he too smile.

Anurag (rubbed his hands together) - perfect. Now, I'll tell you what your work will be here. You will be working in account section but before that you have to work under me, so that I can train you better (smirking) cause I am perfect in that  (shaking his hand in front of her) Don't think I am praising myself. But that's what I do everytime, I think. but apart from that, you will be getting your Id in an hour, which you have to collect from the manangement deptt yourself. (taking a loong breath) Haah..!! That's it.

Ragini who was looking at him in bewilderment, chuckled.

Ragini - I never thought you to be a very talkative person, when you interviewed me.

Anurag - Then I can say, First impression is not the last impession.

Ragini - Definitely..!!

Anurag - Now, follow me..!! And I am warning you before only, I hate lazy people (giving her his best mocking angry look) So, don't even think to bring out my bad side.  Understood?

Ragini (nodding supressing her laugh) - Yeah..!! Very well.

Anurag - Boss is in bad mood right now, so it's good you meet him after some time.

Ragini (curious) - If you don't mind may I ask why he is having bad day? (anxiously) Is it because of his son?

Anurag (shaking his head) - You got to know about him on your first day only. (sigh) Yeah..!! He wants his son to leave his ways and join the company but all he does is to go around with girls and drink till the time he lost his senses. But you let it be. What happened today is common so He will be fine in few hours, Then you can meet him.

Ragini nodded absent-minded thinking a argument of a father and son is common? But followed him nevertheless to his cabin.

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

Sanskaar stromed into his room frustrated and throw the first thing he saw in his room.

Same threat again..!! His father gave him the same threat again to disown him from his property.

He was hell bent on that he joined the company and leave his bachelor life.

How can he think about it? That he will leave his friends, for him! Or his stupid conditions.

He didn't get along with his father from the time his mother passed away. He was just 11 year old.

And instead of focusing on his child, his father focused on his God damned business. He left for his business meetings for weeks, never stay at home in nights, kept himself busy with work and only work. Not even a single second he thought about his little boy who just lost his mother.

He hate his dad for leaving him alone in this big mansion, sobbing to himself in the corner of his room.

And he hate his Mom for leaving him alone in this world, in the mercy of those who didn't care about a tiny bit.

Sanskaar (looking at the only picture of Sujata in his room) - Why did you leave me? Why?

He took a deep breath and brought out the bottle of liquor from his cupboard. His eyes were burning red as he opened the bottle and took a big swig from it.

Sanskaar - I am lonely Mom. Come back to me.

He slurred as he falls on the bed loosing his sense.

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

Ragini was going through some files which Anurag said him to check and make a report on them.

Swara came there along with Prerna.

Swara - Hey Ragini, we are going to have lunch? You want to join us?

Ragini (surprised) - It's already lunch time!?

Swara (laughed) - Yeah..!! I think Aonu gave you too much work on your first day itself. (putting her hands on her waist) I have to talk to him.

Ragini (immediately) - O no no..!! That's fine actually.

Prerna (chuckling) - She was just kidding. And sorry we didn't get to meet properly, as I wasn't paying attention to you (surrendering her hands) No offense..!! But welcome in the company, Ragini.

Ragini - None taken..!! And Thank you.

Swara - So what are we waiting for come let's go.

Ragini was about to stand when Anurag's voice halt her in her place.

Anurag - There's still five minutes left in lunch break.

Swara (rolling her eyes) - Stop being Mr. Perfectionist. And let the girl go before I punch you square in the jaw.

Ragini looked at her with jaw drop and wide eyes as she just gave that tone to her senior.

Prerna (chuckle and whispered in her ear) -  They are siblings, so that's not the worst thing she said to him.

Ragini looked surprised as the two kept bickering in front of her. And at last Swara won the argument as always.

She gave a cheeky smile to her brother and grabbed the hands of the other two and left to the cafeteria, with a smug smile.

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

Ragini (placing her tray of foodon the table) - Why everyone keep talking about this infamous son of the boss?

Prerna (with bright smile) - Because he is soo hot.

Ragini chuckled and Swara gave her a funny look.

Swara - Because every time he comes here, one of the staff get fired.

Ragini looked at him with wide eyes and she chuckled.

Swara (chuckled) - Don't worry, Boss is not that bad, he just get very angry to his son wasting his life. People don't get fired without any solid reason or mistake. But too bad it happened every time he comes, (laughing little) So think it as a superstitious belief of the company.

Prerna - It isn't his fault I know, (sheepishly) he just have a bad timing.

Ragini laughed to see her face and she pouted.

Ragini - Then I wish him to not to come back here again.

Prerna (protest) - Hey..!!!

Ragini - Cause I don't want myself to be fired from here, due to his bad omen presence.

Prerna gave her a friendly glare and Swara gave hi-fi to Ragini.

Swara (winking) - Welcome to my team, Ragini.
