Crazy Love
After clearing my Masters I joined Singhania Industries. Earlier my reason was different. I had a huge crush on Raghav Singhania from my school days and always dreamt to be a part of Singhania Industries to impress him. But when I entered in teens I realised I was not even in his friend list and probably he doesn't even know who I am apart from the apparent fact that we are classmates. From that day I changed myself and focused more on my own self rather than dreaming of him. Singhania Industries is the best in corporate to groom one self and for a fresher its like a jackpot. I gave interview and cleared and got my break through.
Today being in Singhania Industries I have just one motive to learn as much as I can and leave. I still don't have the capacity to stay close to him by any means, although I have buried my feelings for him deep down in my heart but I don't trust myself. I have shielded my pain, to hide it from world. But fate had other plans and it exactly went opposite to what I have planned for myself.
---------------------------------------------------------------
I never had any feelings for her. Infact I never looked at her with any sort of interest. To say that I m a bad guy...NO I am not. I never played with any girl's feelings. But I never thought we both can gel and hence never made any attempt to befriend her. But I knew she had something for me. Whenever I met her accidentally I had seen something in her eyes for me, though the very next second I brushed off the thought but I am sure she liked me. I had done my masters abroad and had no idea about her being employed here. When I met her the first time I smiled and she returned but somewhere that something or to be precise that liking wasn't there. But that day my thinking for her changed and a sudden urge to know her grew within me.
---------------------------------------------------------------
We both accidentally stepped in the lift together. He was with his friend Ria whom we all employees knew as a 'chamchi' of Raghav since she was trying hard to impress him but he was least interested and considered her as just a friend. Since I had already stepped in so I had no option but to remain inside since I didn't want to show him, if at all he is noticing me, that I am trying to avoid him. As luck would have it the lift got stuck and on the top of it behind the close doors we didn't even know in between which floors or on which floor we were. Ria got scared and screamed as if she would die the next moment but honestly even I was scared like hell but I chose to remain composed keeping my fears at bay and stood for a while to catch my running breath. From the corner of my eyes I saw Raghav hushing Ria and mumbling in her ears to calm down. I felt bad very bad even I was present but he didn't spare a glance at me. With all the courage I banged the door and cried for help ignoring the scene playing before me.
--------------------------------------------------------------
The sudden cry of help caught my attention and I looked at Kalpi. She was banging the door but at the same time she had clutched her pencil skirt tightly with the other hand. Though she was trying her level best not to show she was afraid but her demeanor said it all. I felt guilty because just like Ria even she was my responsibility and I completely overlooked her just the way I used to in my childhood. Automatically my hands slipped from Ria's shoulder and I came ahead and helped her in asking for help. From what I can guess seeing her face she was having problem in breathing. I took out my cell asked my secretary to arrange for help immediately. After good one hour the door slided open and Ria walked past us to catch air. Honestly I didn't notice whether she walked out to catch air or was she jealous because I no longer paid attention. My eyes were on Kalpi who had her eyes down casted giving me a clear sign that she wants to avoid me. We came out and I saw her going near the window and taking in fresh air. I could see her nerves getting relaxed as relief seeped into her eyes. I approached her and gently kept my hand on her shoulder and asked "Are you okay" she immediately shifted a lil and as a result my hand slipped from her shoulder. "I am fine Sir Thank you." Her formal tone irked me and more so her plain eyes. I knew very well that i did wrong and wanted to apologisr but before that she walked away to the main corridor leaving behind my new arisen curiosity to know her.
---------------------------------------------------------------
A month passed by and I noticed Raghav. Off lately he is taking extra special interest in me. Suddenly I was taken in the project where previously Mr. Mehta was going to participate. In the meetings I could feel his gaze on me all the time making me feel uncomfortable most of the times. Our paths crossed many times and I belive it was intentional. I was getting suspicious of his moves. I don't know but I guess he was trying to get close to me. But why!!!! I mean of all the girls suddenly out of the blue leaving Ria aside why he is taking interest in me. After lot of efforts I have managed to face him everyday without showing my emotions and feelings for him and now all this...errr...
