Chapter 19

The guy seemed to be in a tense mood, as soon as the elevator slid open, he strode out, whilst doing so, their shoulders touch,it was like spiral waves flowing through both their bodies, the guy stopped for a second the walked out without a second glance
Kripa purses her lips and shakes her long black glossy hair
and then follows him since she is needs to go in the same direcion

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Kripa passes through many offices but doesn't see any sign that is labelled Conference room 3, she walks on down the hallway almost giving up, she watches the guy who was in the lift with her,disappear into the last room in the hallway, Kripa is about to pass by that room, when she notices a sign on the wall next to the door labelled as "conference room 3"
Kripa presses her fingers into her palms, a slight ripplw of fear passing through her, fear of losing her dream job without even starting it.
Kripa takes a deep breath, then she leans a little and raises her wrist to to knock, but the door bangs open, Kripa gasps at the sudden burst, almost adding to her anxiety.
Kripa looks upto see the same guy who was in the elevator with her glare down at her.
Despite the air-conditioned room, Kripa runs through a bout of cold sweat.
The man: (now his eyes, seeping through curiosity, with a wave of recognition, as if he knows the answer without her proving his suspicions), Ms. Kripa Sharma toh nahi hain na aap???
Kripa: jee, mai hi Kripa Sh...but the man cuts her off
The man (sarcastically): Oh, toh aap hain the famous Kripa Sharma,he looks at her, and puts on a fake pitiful smile, aap kadhi kyu hain betiye na, aapka hi office hain, jab jaahe asakti hain, ahiye na
Kripa (confused and begins to think the man in front of her, is really genuinely, not angry with her), so she proceeds to sit down
The man: What, the hell are you doing?? he booms???
Kripa is shocked: par apine toh kaha tha ki...
The man: aaj pehla din hain aapka,na koi previous work experince na contacts hain aapke, aur upar se do gante late ayee hai aap, aur upar se aap bholi bhali memsaab ki thara ayee hain, what do you think of yourself, ki tum yaha "Khanna Enterprises" jaise badhe fashion House main apply kiya hai, na koi work experience, na koi contacts, batha nahi kaha kaha se ajaathe hai lauk? God!
He bangs his fist on the shiny mahogany table, Ab kadhe kadhe mera moo kyu dekhri ho, dafa hojao yaha se, you can leave!!
Kripa's eyes begin to water, feeling really humilated, she rushes out of there, fuming, cursing her now exboss, rumbling to herself (kya samjatha hain apne apko, mere pass work experience nahi toh main capable hi nahi, aur maine thodi jaan bhuchkar dehr ki, kadoos kahin ka, huh)
On the way out, however, since her eyes are focussed downwards she doesn't notice someone coming that way, and she bumps into him.
Kripa apologetic: I am sorry...mai then she takes a closer look: arre aap, yaha, Angad kaisa hain???
Angad who is coming out of the conference room, hears Kripa's last three words, and stops midway, curious to know why Ms. Sharma is asking about him, he leans back against the wall, so they don't notice him
The man:arre Kripa beti, Angad tumse milna chahta tha, lekhin jab maine kaha ki tum usse abhi toh meele ho, toh ithni jaldi usse milne ki zidd kaisi, to batha hain ussne mujhse kya kaha
Kripa smiles: kya?
The man: woh kehra tha, ki woh meri dost hain, aur dost kabhi bhi kisi waqt milsakte hain,
Kripa: main usse milne zaroor aaongi, apna ghar ka address toh dijiye
The man's face lights up: sach beti, Angad to khush hi hojayega, he then takes out a pen and paper and jots down his address and gives to Kripa, waise beti mai phirse to tumhara shukriya adha karna chahta hoon
Kripa stops him: iski koi zaroorath nahi hain, mai aapki beti ki umar ki hoon, toh kya yeh bacho ka farz nahi, ki woh apne bhai ko musibath se bachaye?

laughing,they then bid bye.

Angad is confused, whether the two were chatting about him or someone else, and is him, why did she not seem to show any sign of recognition and why would an employee of his decide how he feels!
