A shepherd may like to travel, but he should never forget about his sheep. --- The Alchemist

CHAPTER 2

"Khushi ….Khushi wake up, you are getting late for office. It's already 9 o' clock."

"Jiji, just two more minutes. Let me take Salmanji's autograph."

"Khushi seriously, buaji is right. You are really a Sanka Devi. Get up or else I will call Buaji."

"Jiji , nooo… don't do that. All right, I am getting up. You surely know how to get your ways."She got up and smiled at her sister.

"Hey Bhagwan, it's already 9 o' clock! Surely, I am dead today. Amanji told me that ASR Sir is very strict about time. Jiji , what do I do know? Devi Maiyaa, Please help me! " She said while chewing her nails.

"Khushi, don't worry. You just get up and get ready. I already prepared your breakfast." She said and assured her.

"Jiji, you are the best!"She said and clapped her hands.

~~~~~*~~~~

"Aman", shouted Arnav. "Where is my black coffee?"

"Here Sir, take this."

"And where is the new Head Designer?"He asked him angrily.

"Sir, she was to join office today. Maybe she is stuck in traffic."

"As if I care! It's already 10 o' clock!"He barked at him.

"Sir, I will just check and tell you."He nodded at him.

~~~*~~~~

"Are Parmeshwari, it is already 10 o' clock! Do you want to lose your job on the first day itself?"

"Aye, Buaji! Bye, Jiji."

"Khushi, listen! Atleast eat this aloo -poori."

"Jiji, don't worry. I will eat something at the canteen."

"Bhaiyyaji, could you please take me to AR Designs?" Khushi asked the auto driver.

"Off course, Madam come."

"Bhaiyyaji, stop the auto here. How much do I have to pay you?" asked she.

"Hundred rupees, madam."

"Do I look like a fool to you? I am not paying you this much."She said while narrowing her eyes.

"Are madam, you work in such a large office then also fighting for just twenty rupees?"

"Twenty rupees does not matter to me. But I cannot compromise with my morals and values."

So true, but she did not know that her morals and values will be the ones putting her into grave danger.

"Divya, did Khushi reach the office yet?" asked Aman.

"No, Sir." Replied a tall, lean and beautiful girl.

"Just tell me when she comes. ASR is very angry." He told and walked away from there.

"Excuse me? Can you please tell me where is ASR Sir's cabin?" asked a terrified Khushi.

"You must be Khushi Kumari Gupta if I am not wrong. AR's new Head Designer?"

"Yes, I am Khushi Kumari Gupta, AR's new Head Designer and you?"she said while shaking hands.

"I am Divya Baranwal. Head of Accounts Department. However, since Lavanaya is not here, I am handling the reception today. She replied gloomily.

"Pleased to meet you. Now, can you please show me ASR Sir's cabin?"

"Yeah, why not. Go straight and then turn right."

"Thanks" replied Khushi and broke into a run in that direction.

"God , save this poor soul! She doesn't know what she is getting into."She said while shaking her head and looking upwards.

"May I come in Sir?"Khushi said while knocking the door.

"Yes, come in."

"Sir, I am Khushi Kumari Gupta. AR's new Head Designer."

"You are half an hour late Miss Gupta."Arnav said in a rasp and cold tone.

"Yes Sir, I know it's my mistake. Next time it won't happen."

"There is no next time in AR. If you want to work here then learn to do things perfectly."Arnav said and turned around in his chair.

"I will try to do my best Sir."Khushi said and looked in his direction.

The moment he saw her, he shouted "YOU! How Dare You Come Here?"

"Excuse me, Mister Laad Governor. Are you trying to follow me? Do you want to learn another lesson? Was that not enough for you?" "And I dared to come here because Amanji recruited me as AR's new Head Designer."She replied in the same cold tone.

"And by the way, what are YOU doing here?" She asked sarcastically.

"What the! Do you even know who am I?"

"YES, I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.YOU ARE A LAAD GOVERNOR WHO HAS NO RESPECT FOR OTHERS! WHO IS UNHUMAN! WHO ONLY CARES FOR HIMSELF! WHO LIKES TO PLAY AND DESTROY OTHERS LIFE!"She said this in one single breath as tears welled up in her eyes.

"I want to meet ASR Sir. Where is he?"She snapped at him.

"You want to meet him na? Then meet, because he is in front of YOU! SHOCKED! YES.I AM ASR.ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA.CHAIRMAN OF AR DESIGN."He said with with fury in his eyes.

"I know cheap girls like you. You very well knew that it is my office. You must have only contacted Aman and pleaded him to recruit you. Otherwise who will want to keep cheap and filthy girls like you?"He said mocking her.

"ENOUGH MR. RAIZADA. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOURSELF, HAAN? TELL ME! YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR PROBLEM IS? YOU COME TO CONCLUSIONS ALL BY YOURSELF.YOU TURN A BLIND EYE TO YOUR SURROUNDINGS.AND AFTER KNOWING THAT YOU ARE THE HEAD OF AR DESIGN I NO LONGER WANT TO WORK HERE.GUD BYE AND KEEP YOUR JOB TO YOURSELF." She said while turning around and leaving his cabin.

As soon as he heard her saying this, anger shot up in his veins. He got up from his chair and held her wrist. He then pushed her to the nearby wall with all his force and held her shoulders tightly."WHAT DID YOU SAY?I COME TO CONCLUSIONS ALL BY MYSELF.I TURN A BLIND EYE TO EVERYONE.AND AFTER KNOWING THAT I AM THE HEAD OF AR DESIGN YOU NO LONGER WANT TO WORK HERE. THEN SO SAD ,MISS GUPTA.YOU ARE WORKING HERE.WELCOME TO HELL.AND IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE BEFORE ONE MONTH THEN YOU HAVE TO PAY ME TWENTY LAKHS.AM I CLEAR?"He said while smiling sarcastically.

"Ok MR. RAIZADA. If you want this, then so be it. But I have one more condition."She said while looking at him viciously.

"WHAT?" He snapped at her.

"IF YOU FIRED ME BEFORE ONE MONTH, THEN YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME TWENTY LAKHS. Do you accept this?"She said while looking into his chocolate brown smoldering eyes.

"DONE", he said after thinking for a while.

"Ok, then. DEAL?"

"Yes, DEAL" he said while shaking hands with her.

"So, shall I start my work now?"

"Off course, Miss Gupta. Let me call Aman. He will explain you, your work."

Both were burning with hatred. But surely , they did not have any idea that when this hatred will change into pure love and they will not be able to live without each other.

Chapter 3

"Khushi, is the design of Mr. Mahlotra ready yet?" Aman Asked her.

"Yeah Amanji, I am just working on the details." She said chirpily.

"Khushi...! How many times do I have to tell you that don't call me Amanji?" "I feel like a fifty year old man. Gosh! It's just double my age." He said and rolled his eyes.

"But Amanji, how can I just call you Aman?"

"OH GOD KHUSHI! You just called me Aman. You are really unbelievable man!" He rolled his eyes and laughed out loud. How can a girl be so innocent!

"Hey Devi Maiyaa! man nahi woman! Do you have an eyesight problem?"

"Oh god'.Khushi' what do I do with you?"He again laughed but thought how is she going to survive here for one month? Lavanya and her chics would not leave an opportunity to harass her.

"What have I done now?"She asked , confused. Firstly, he calls her man and now is laughing at her for no apparent reason! Hey Devi Maiyaa, are all people in this office alike?

"Khushi, save this for tomorrow or do you want me to laugh till death?"He said still giggling that was stopped by the angry glare that Khushi threw at him .

"Okay'okay I am sorry. Now back to work or be ready to face ASR's wrath."

"What else that Laad governor knows?"She mumbled angrily.

"Did you say anything Miss Gupta?"echoed his cold voice. "Aman, I pay you for doing work not for merrily roaming around."He said while his eyes focused on Khushi.

"Shaitan ka naam lo aur shaitan haazir ." She mumbled softly.

"Sorry Sir. I was just coming to you. Khushi is finalizing Mr. Mahlotra's design. It will be ready by tomorrow." He looked at Khushi whilst she just nodded in agreement.

"Aman, call everyone in the hall right now. I have an important announcement to make."He said to Aman whilst his eyes were still on her.

"Yes Sir." Aman nodded and walked out of the room.

"So Miss Gupta, are you ready? Working in AR is not as easier as it appears. I want you in the hall in five minutes." He said curtly and went from there without waiting for her response.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I know time is precious in AR, so I don't intend to take much time of yours. As you all know, the post of AR's new Head Designer was vacant from many days. Therefore, here I present Khushi Kumari Gupta as AR's new Head Designer. I hope she will not let us down. However, you see there is a deal between me and Miss Gupta and whoever looses will have to pay twenty lakhs to the latter. Therefore, I request all the people present over here to not get much acquainted with her. If I see anyone helping her or talking to her by any means then be ready to face the consequences."He said in his usual honey filled cold voice.Now, you will get to know what is the consequence of messing up with me Miss Gupta.

Everyone looked at Khushi and thought what had this poor soul gotten herself into?

It was lunch break and Khushi was sitting all alone in the canteen. No one had ever behaved with her like that till date and no one would have in the coming future if not for Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada.

"Would you mind sharing the table with me? Divya asked Khushi. She saw her sitting all alone and felt bad for her.

"No, off course not. You can sit here. Anyways there are not much people here with whom I can talk." Khushi muttered under her breath.

"So what was all that about? You made a deal with ASR? Khushi, please do not mind my words but anyone with a right mind would not try to step in the lion's den. What were you thinking while doing this? Were you out of your mind?" She was sure that there was much more to the story that was told to them. ASR can never sign such a foolish deal with anyone without seeing his interest in it. He was successful at such a young age not without a reason.

Khushi gaped at her. "Why do you all make a fuss about ASR? He is nothing but a Laad Governor."

"Khushi' shh...If ASR heard us then we are surely dead." She said, horror evident in her eyes.

"Hey Devi Maiyaa! How will I cope up with these people? They fear him as if he is a GOD! The thing that they do not understand is at the end of a day, he must be nothing but just a normal human being who goes to his home, eats food and spends some time with his family."She was correct in guessing how the people here were afterall, with no brains of their ; just following their boss's order.

"Are you done with discussing my life Miss Gupta? If so, then would you care to come in my cabin?" he said and thought angrily, ' this girl really had the nerve to rile him up.

Khushi looked at him and gulped hard. "Y...Yes Sir, I will be there in a minute."

"Would you like to explain what are you doing here Miss Baranwal?"

"N'Nothing Sir, I was just going at the reception."Divya stammered and tried to flew out of the scene as soon as possible.

"Why at the reception? If I am correct, then you should be at the Accounts Department right now."He said while shifting his gaze from Khushi .

"S'Sir, vo Lavanya Ma'am is not here today so I am handling the reception."

"Good, when is she coming back?"

"Tomorrow, Sir." She said and hurried towards the reception. It's better to keep as much distance as possible from the lion's den.

"Miss Gupta, in my cabin RIGHT NOW."He ordered and walked towards his cabin.

"May I come in Sir?"She asked whilst knocking the door. What did he want now? 'There are so many people present over here, he could have asked them but no! How can the Laad Governor be happy without making her life hell?

"Yes, come in." came the stern reply.

"Hello Aman, I want you to give all the designers working on Mr. Mahlotra's designs a half day. From here, Miss Gupta will carry on the work."

"But S'Sir, there are so much designs pending how will she finish them all alone?"

"Do as I say Aman."He retorted back angrily.

"Yes Sir, as you say."

"So Miss gupta, did you hear the conversation between me and Aman?"He asked smirking at her.

"Yes Sir."She replied calmly.

"You already know that Mr. Mahlotra is coming tomorrow to collect his designs. I want all the work done by tomorrow. I do not care how you do it or how much time you take. The thing is you should do it all alone and if necessary then stay here for the whole night. I do not give a damn to this. Am I clear Miss Gupta?"He asked her smiling devilishly.

"B...But Sir, working hours are over at eight pm. Then how can I work after that?"She asked him. This laad Governor was hell bent in making her life hell. Was that Incident not enough for him?

"Do as I say or give me twenty lakhs."He told her in the best way he could ; threatening her.

"Ye'Yes Sir, your work will be done by tomorrow."She said and walked out of the cabin.

"Wait and watch Khushi Kumari Gupta. You will curse the day when you were born. I will make your life pure hell. You will pay for everything you did and will never try to look at my family again."He smiled thinking to himself.

The thing, which he did not know was that while making her life hell somehow he was bringing more misery to himself.
