PART 2:

PRECAP:

"Well I want to be independent!" Gunjan said only these words turning towards him keeping her hands around his neck. They were so close. Samrat understood everything. He just nodded. Then Samrat bent Gunjan down and twirled her. She liked his company. The same went for him. They were lost in each other's thoughts with slow music being played in the background. They were talking to each other of things that they never spoke to anyone else.

Soon their dance came to an end. They felt different. They were smiling wholeheartedly. They were happy. Their hearts felt free. They felt like some burden was removed. They felt weightless. Soon Samrat excused himself and went to the bar. Gunjan on the other hand was roaming about wearing her mask. The surprising thing was Samrat never saw her without a mask. He didn't force her too. So she was impressed by his actions. She liked the way he treated her before few minutes. He made her feel special. Every girl wishes the same. Every girl wants to feel special. Every girl craves for someone who is special. Though Gunjan did not feel love for him, she felt a deep attraction towards him. She was dragged to him. That's why she ended up searching for him.

Gunjan walked a bit. She was searching for Samrat. Everyone were in their masks. So she looked at every men who were there. She felt embarrassed. She never looked at guys like this or neither did she did all this only to find a guy whom she met just few hours ago. She smiled thinking of her stupidity. But she enjoyed it. She was smiling. Her feet stopped when she saw Samrat. Not his face; but the mask. He was sitting in the bar. She was so elated to meet him. She moved forward but again stopped when she realized that he was removing his mask. Gunjan wished to see his face. So she quickly hid behind a pillar and peeped out.

Samrat finally removed his mask. Gunjan saw him. She stood there with a shock. She knew he was Samrat Shergill but didn't expect him to be THE SAMRAT SHERGILL. She stood dumbfound. She didn't know what to say or how to react. But she knew that she must talk to him. She made her palm into a fist and took a deep breath. She finally moved forward. She heard something.

"Do you know who my date is?" Samrat asked looking at waiter as he tossed the glass.

The waiter shaked his head negative. He can't say anything, can he? He kept quiet and listened to what he was telling.

"My date is Gunjan Bhushan! The only heiress of Bhushan groups. Moreover she looks pretty. She looks nice and cute. I am sure she must be really beautiful. I haven't seen her face though. I didn't want to force her as she might take my intensions in a wrong way. So I am waiting. I am sure she will reveal it to me today. Oh God! I can't believe I am talking like this. Gunjan is making me go nuts!" Samrat was going on not realizing that Gunjan was standing next to him. She patted him. Samrat turned.

"Gunjan?" he was shocked. He didn't say anything wrong. He spoke out his heart. But he also knew that Gunjan was different. She is not like other girls. He gulped and looked at her. He was hoping to explain.

"I hate you Samrat!" she screamed at him. She was really mad.

"Why are you overreacting?" Samrat spoke in defence "Don't I have the freedom of speech in an independent country like India?" He chuckled.

"Oh Samrat! That is just one of my reasons!" she spoke back leaving a Samrat to wonder what she meant. She gave him a disgusted look and walked out. Her parents called her but she excused saying she is not well.

Samrat now definitely wanted his answers. She can't leave like this without giving a proper explanation. So he followed her. Their parents smiled thinking that something is cooking between them.

Gunjan walked fast but Samrat was faster. He took hold of her hands and made her to stop.

"Leave me!" she cried out. His hold was too tight for her soft hands.

"Not until you give me an explanation!" he made it clear.

"Ok fine! I hate Casanovas, Samrat and you are definitely one of those who spoil girl's life. And I completely hate people like you! You are seriously disgusting. I am sure your lovely speech about me in the bar must have been one of your tricks to play with my life!" She said it directly. She read a lot about him in newspapers and magazines. The guy himself was impressive. But Gunjan was able to remember only his sins. She read about him dating many girls. Even her friends said about it to her. So she began to hate the guy even before she met him.

"No Gunjan!..." before he could complete Gunjan cut his talk.

"I have to leave Samrat!" she said and turned without even looking at him.

Samrat was sure under a shock. He never expected anyone to point out his mistakes like this. This did affect him. A girl whom he met just few hours ago tagged him as the worst guy in the planet. Though he liked the bad guy look, he didn't enjoy it when Gunjan said it. He wanted to be nice to her.

"I guess it is over!" he tried to calm himself and left.

But that night neither Gunjan nor Samrat had a good sleep. How will they?! They both were deeply hurt. For the first time in their life they were feeling happy and now everything went in drain. Their lie actually seemed complete after years of pain. They both always wanted love nothing else. The surroundings made them to behave different. For the past years they have been without any identity other than for power and money. But they were never happy with it. Samrat sought only pleasure. Gunjan didn't know to seek that too. She was living in a shell. A shell that is stronger than her inner will. Her heart is still not ready to break it. She is still in pain.

"I guess my life will always remain the same!" they both murmured and went to their beds hoping for a peaceful sleep.

Soon the darkness disappeared, giving space for light to enter. Gunjan woke up from her bed. She felt good after a nice sleep. She smiled and stood before the window. She was still hurt by Samrat but still she managed to keep herself strong. She looked at the calendar and little she realized what she was about to forget.

"Oh no!" she said and ran to get ready. She came out after sometime and joined the others for breakfast.

"Good morning dear! What's your plan for today?" her dad asked.

"Nothing dad! Going to hang with my friends!" she said biting her lips.

"Ah! That's nice!"her mom smiled. Gunjan smiled back and left the home after having her breakfast.

It was almost 10AM. Gunjan stood before a big company lost in deeps thoughts. Her hands were playing with her dupatta. She looked so nervous. She didn't know how to handle the situation.

"I hope uncle understands my problem!" she took a deep breath and went inside.

"Can I meet Mr.Shergill?" asked Gunjan looking at the receptionist who was working with her computer.

"Sure Mam! Go left and make a turn right! You will find his cabin!" The receptionist said still looking down.

"Thank you!" Gunjan replied and followed her instructions.

She reached her destination and saw a board with the words *Mr.Shergill* encrypted on it. She murmured silent prayers and opened the door.

"Can I come in Sir..uncle?" she said and entered. She saw a man sitting on the chair with his head struck into a magazine.

"I am Gunjan Bhushan remember? I need a favour from you. I want to work. I want to be independent. My parents will never let me to work. I can't go to other companies too as they will understand who I am by my surname. So I knew that only you can help. I want it to be a secret. I saw an ad of your company searching for a P.A. I would love to do it. People have not seen me that much so I need not worry too. Please help me! But I want to take this job in a proper manner. Here are my certificates." Gunjan said everything that she wished to say and gave it to him.

"Sure Chashmish!" he said. He stood up and looked at her. Gunjan was in utter shock. Her jaws were opened. She was horrified.

"But…uncle….Sam…rat…..you?" Gunjan was fumbling.

"Yeah me! Dad went for a business trip. So I am the boss…Chashmish!" he chuckled loving the idea of ordering her.

"Don't call me chashmish. My parents gave me a lovely name!" She said looking down.

"But this name is more lovely chashmish!" he stressed the last bit and plucked the file. Gunjan started at him in horror. When he took the file, her mind was filled with wrong ideas. She thought he might take revenge on her for last night. She wondered how he is going to get rid of the file. She was not looking at him but the file. It had all her certificates. She feared thinking what he will do.

"Wow impressive Miss.Chashmish. No wonder you are a chashmish!" Gunjan glared at him."It is a compliment!" he continued sarcastically.

"Well Thank you!" she tried to pluck it back.

"Wait!" he defended. "Let me complete!" he smiled with evil thoughts.

"Oh no!" Gunjan thought realizing that he is upto something.

"You are hereby appointed as my P.A!" Samrat said feeling proud.

"What?" she frowned. Samrat understood what she was thinking. So he decided to make her accept the offer.

"Well Chashmish if you accept this offer you will have lot of profits. For example, your parents will not come to know about your job. You already know what will happen if you work in some other companies. And to add all this, our company is safe. We care for our employee's safety!" Samrat said.

"Yeah I know but I don't want to become your P.A" Samrat frowned on hearing this.

"Fine then if you don't agree then I will call your parents and say about your secret plans!" That was the limit. Samrat wanted her to accept the job. She was continuously disagreeing. If not by peace, then by force. So he decided to use these words on her.

"No you won't" she became scared.

"Yes! I will!" he laughed and took his cell. He began to dial.

"Ok fine! I will work for you!" Gunjan said and switched off his cell.

"Now that's good! We will start our work from now!" he winked at her.

"I want some water! I will be back soon!" she said and went out.

"I have never seen a girl as beautiful as she is! Gosh why didn't I bother on seeing her without mask that night! She is an angel and her eyes Oh…I wish I have words to describe it. It looks so pure and innocent. It looks truthful. She is a real beauty. And I am glad that she is my P.A. Now she will spend more time with me and I will get to know her better!" Samrat spoke to himself. He also knew that no one is better than Gunjan for this position. She was perfect. She had what it takes to be a P.A. She is organized. She is elegant and is clear of everything in her life. She deserved something better than a P.A but he understood her feelings as she wanted to hide the truth from everyone. So he accepted.

Gunjan was drinking water outside. She was completely under shock still. She never expected such a thing.

Samrat, he is so mean" She said. "I can't believe he actually blackmailed me! How can he? That was so bad. I hate him more and more. I feel like leaving this place. But I don't have any choice, do I?" Gunjan said.

"I will work for him!" Gunjan made up her mind and opened the door of his cabin.

"So Ms. Chashmish, are u ready?" he asked.

"Yes! I am!" she gave a challenging smile and looked into him.
