SHORT THREE
Omkara was sitting on his office desk looking at the pile of resumes. Though the pictures of the girls Rudra brought were good, beautiful and obviously gorgeous but as usual they were his models. He separated the photos according to his liking as he got through them. "Oh... Yeh bhi hai? he picked up her picture. He decided to keep it aside but then kept it on the pile of the selected ones. He called up her secretary to hand over the resume's.
"Yes sir Annika entered. "Yeah, please arrange an interview with these five. I think they are the only ones I am interested in hiring he handed over the file to her and she walked out taking them. He stared at the screen of her laptop where the resume of all the five girls was plastered on. The first one was slender, fit, and absolutely gorgeous. The second one was not that slender but had beautiful eyes with auburn hair and a smile on her face. The third one was absolutely fit to be a perfect model and he deleted it. The fourth girl looked a little shy and awkward to face the camera as her eyelids were down with dark black shoulder length hair covering her face. Swiping he came across the last girls, hazel eyes, peach colour lips, dark hair with sides pinned up. Confidence was visible and the smile swiped through her face. Now all he had got to do was interview the candidates and make them ready to be his wife for three months. He sighed.
"Jaldi kar chirraiya, tu late hai she said rushing to the place she got the address of a while ago. She rushed with her feet as fast as possible. Though she experienced some pain but she kept on "maa ke liye... Bas thodi dur aur... Bas thodi dur aur she said between her heavy breath. Practically she was penniless right now. All the money she had were already gone for her mother's health expenses and she herself didn't know how would she do it tomorrow. The only hope was this job as she had to get it.
She reached the office and headed to the reception. "Yes, Annika Trivedi.. How may I help you? a girl said smiling to her. "I have an interview here he said in her hurried voice. "Your name? Annika asked her. "Gauri... Gauri Kumari Sharma she answered as Annika typed it in her laptop. "Yes Gauri, please head to the twelfth floor Annika answered with her eyes still hooked on her laptop. "Thank you she said and hurried to the lift.
Omkara was sitting on his desk for about an hour now waiting for any of his selections to be perfect according to the ideologies of his mom so that he could finish his bride selection process but non of them matched. Though each of them were good in their own way but non of them matched for what his mom wanted in "the perfect bahu of her dreams. His only concern was his mom accepting his choice which was highly doubtful. "Found anyone?? Rudra asked him. "Nope... At least not till now he answered. "You just have a day O. Kahan se dhoondhoge? Rudra asked him worriedly. "Don't forget who I am. Omkara Singh Oberoi agar kuch chahta hai toh usse haasil karne ki mushkil khud raste se hat jaati hai he answered.
Standing inside she was tapping her feet waiting for it to reach the floor. "Finally she muttered when she reached the floor. She stepped out with her eyes on her files as she bumped herself into someone. "Not again she rolled her eyes on her behaviour of not looking straight while walking. "Looks like I am your favourite bumping destination he said and shifted his gaze to his phone again. "Excuse me, that was not only my fault. Your eyes were also glued to your phone she answered. "Do you have any idea of who are you talking to? he asked pointing to her with his phone in his hand. "Oh yes off course, aren't I talking to the great Lord who descended on the earth just to bump himself to me? she exclaimed sarcastically. "Never mind she rolled her eyes and started walking when he didn't answer.
"It's hopeless, just admit it O! Let's just stop it and find someone who would actually help you to settle down Rudra said giving up as he popped himself on the couch beside the chair. "No one can help okay. I am Omkara Singh Oberoi and I won't ever settle down he said placing his palms on his desk. Suddenly his phone rang "yes Annika... Yeah send her he said as he kept his phone back. "If the next one too turned out to be a clown or a mermaid, I swear I will kill you with my bare hands and tell mom that you hung yourself up in frustration Rudra warned with his gritted teeth. "Relax, she is the last one, and if it doesn't work I will find another way and stop this whole interview thing he answered. "Fine! Rudra snapped defeatedly. "Let's head to the cabin then Rudra said. "Yeah, you go, I have a call he answered.
She reached the chairman's cabin after a wait of whole three hours. She got up when she heard the door opening. She was surprised and shocked. "Oh my God... Mr Rudra Singh Oberoi... The professional photographer she jumped. "Hello he held his palm up and waved it. "I am a big fan sir. You are my inspiration she said giving him a handshake. "Oh... Thank you so much Rudra smiled at the girl. "God, I can't describe the feeling right now she placed her her hands on her mouth suppressing her scream. "I understand Rudra smiled again. "Eeehhh she hugged Rudra in excitement.
"Well good morning to you too brother she heard a familiar voice. And she found him standing looking at them with a very normal I don't care expression. "Hey O Rudra went to him. "I guess I should leave now. Nice meeting you Ms Sharma. Carry on with your interview brother he winked at Omkara. "By the way, I like this girl. Hire her brother, trust me you won't regret Rudra whispered in Omkara's ears. "Yeah, why not? he said and moved inside.
"You are.. he cuts her "the CEO of Oberoi corporations, Omkara Singh Oberoi he answered. "Name plate nahi padha??? Yaa padhna nahi aata? he smirked. She gritted her teeth and her palms folded to a wrist. "I had an interview she said after she took a deep breath closing her eyes. "And off course you didn't know who the interviewer was he rolled his eyes. "Sit he signalled to the chair next to him as she took it "thank you she said as her lips pressed for a smile.
"So miss... he tried to remember her name "Sharma she answered. "Yes, Miss Sharma, so tell me why should I hire you? he asked in a business tone. "You see you don't have the proper degree for the job besides your masters is still not complete. Oberoi industry demands skilful workers and I personally want a secretary who could handle my meetings and work properly he said. Before she could open her mouth to answer "you can leave he gestured towards the gate of his cabin as she stood up and started walking.
"But she stopped "we can help each other if we want she turned to him with her eyes pressed in confusion. "What do you mean? she asked. "Well he got up and started towards her "all I mean is that if you agree for the job then I can fulfill your financial needs he answered. "But you said I am not suitable she asked. "Yes you are not but I am not talking about this job. What I am talking about is a deal he said. "What deal? she asked confusingly. "If you accept the other job, I am willing to give you a sum of five crores her eyes popped out. Five crores is not a small amount and no employee gets it on the time of receiving the job opportunity itself. "Five.. Five crores she slustered. "Right at the time of signing the contract he added.
"What is the job? she asked in the same confused tone. "Marry me he said. "What came out immediately. "Your... Your.. What? She cleaned herself. "My hired bride. All you have to do it is posing as my wife in front of the world he shrugged. She stared at him thinking if this man actually had brains or not. "Are you even serious? What do you mean by hired bride? she asked in a confused tone again.
"Well I know it's a little overwhelming and too much for a day but I need a wife for the next three months he explained. "So you mean we she signalled to him and her with her forefinger "are going to be a married couple for the next three months? Is this some kind of a sick joke? she asked hoping that this idiot man would think once. "Fake married couple Miss Sharma. Besides it's a matter of just three months and that's it. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity he stated.
"So what do you say? he asked. "I need to think... At least talk to my best friend she added. "No you can't. No one can know about this contract he warned her. "Rudra sir knows about this? she asked. "Yes he answered confused. "Why? she asked again. "Because he is my brother he answered back. "So you can tell your brother about this but I can't tell anyone? he was completely held back. No one talked to him like this and this girl directly snapped. "He is my brother, I trust him he glared at her. "And she is like my sister, I too trust her she answered in the same tone.
Not wanting to take anymore he sighed "Fine he said. "But I need you to sign the contract he said. "That's only if I say yes she reminded him. "I am sure you will he answered and passed his card to her. "Here, call me when you decide. And remember you just have five hours or else I would drop the deal he said as she walked out of his cabin and started to her house thinking about Bhavya's reactions.
