PART -10


"Cool..this is way beyond my expectations.. i guess i was right to give her the job " Neev was going through Pari's report.

"She is a sweet girl too..ok neev.. got to go..i will send pari in" prachi said while leaving.

"May I come in Sir??" Neev lifted his head to look at the girl.

"Wow..these are so beautiful" prachi exclaimed holding the flowers in her hand and feeling them." wonder who left it here? there is no note also" she kissed them gently while placing them on her desk beaming.

Milind's heart did a somersault when he saw her dimpled smile.

"keep Guessing sweet heart..the game has just begun" he rushed to Neev to update him about the tour details.

Milind was about to barge in when he stopped seeing the girl in front of Neev.From where he was standing he could see the side profile of the girl.Dressed in a simple salwar kameej,her long black hair flowing,she looked like the epitome of innocence..just like my prachi ..Milind mused. the girl had Big eyes and a pretty face that reflected her nervousness right now as she sat in front of Neev fiddling with her dupatta.

"Am i disturbing you guys??" Miling said in a deep voice that made Pari turn back and jump from her chair in an instant.

"Good morning sir" she stuttered. She had heard many stories about this guy,his ruthlessness and his anger.Standing between both of her bosses,she shivered slightly.

"Well Pari.. Good job. I have asked Mr.Saxena to train you regarding our accounting and auditing procedures.plz go and meet him" Neev dismissed her.

"well.. ??" Milind raised his eyebrows at Neev after Pari left.

"what??" Neev asked him knowing fully what was comming.

"What do you think about her ?? the girl looks pretty good and you look more than impressed.its high time you settled down with someone better Neev"

"I am impressed by her work and not the girl..she is way too simple yaar..not my type..you see..chalo chodo ..how did the trip go?"

Milind was talking about the deal they had finalised while going through the report on Neev's table when a Paper slipped down from it and the words caught his attention.

"Neev..who wrote this??" he asked reading the lines and muttering to himself " problems..problems everywhere !! "

" May be Pari..i dont know" Neev shrugged.

"Send that girl to my cabin now" Milind left in a haste.Everything seems to be happening for the best today he smiled to himself.

Pari stood in Milind's cabin thinking what wrong she had made to be summoned here that too on her second day in the office.Milind saw her pale face and couldnt help thinking that she looked familiar.it felt as if he had known her but could not remember when and how

"So you write poems..is it?? that too in the office??" he flashed her the paper he was holding.

"Sorry Sir..wont do it again" Pari mumbled feebly.

" I should be the one who will decide what you should do and what you should not..get that first!!" he said irritably getting up making her take few steps backward.

"I want you to write a poem daily for my wi.... hmm.. for someone special..you have to hand it to me before leaving for the day without fail and i will decide the theme on which you would be writing..i want this to be a secret between both of us..if anybody gets to know this..you are not needed for the job the very next instant.. dont stare at me like that.. close your mouth first and leave" he barked.

Pari quickly closed her mouth and rushed to the door.Once outside she tried to make sense of the situation.
So her boss wanted to impress someone.since he was not good at doing that he wants her to help him...she giggled to herself.

" I thought you were about to cry when you went in " Prachi tapped on her shoulder bringing Pari out of her reverie.

" i was and im still feeling scared.. Mr.Mishra is very.." she stopped unsure of what to say.

"But Neev is okay..he is a real sweetheart" prachi piped in.

"Neev?? you call him by his name?? " Pari asked surprised

"He is my best friend since my childhood.ok pari..see u in the lunch" prachi left to Milind's cabin.

Prachi stood in front of Milind's cabin taking in a deep breath. Somehow she felt nervous to face him.Forcing the calmness into her being which she didnt quite feel she entered the room.Milind was working on his laptop seriously.

The first thing that caught her attention was the flowers on his desk.The same flowers..she looked at them wide eyed...then does that mean that Milind sent them? no..this cant be..maybe the house keeping staff decided on those flowers.. she convinced herself.

Milind suddenly raised his head as if sensing her presence and flashed her a huge smile that caught prachi off gaurd.She stood rooted to the spot unable to react.He got up and approached her all the way smiling and Prachi could feel butterflies in her stomach.

"How are you Prachi?"

"f..fine" she managed a reply.

"Missed me?" he asked in a whisper that was barely audible.Prachi jerked her head in his direction unable to comprehend what he said.

"got the file i have asked for?" he asked in a serious tone.

"yes..yes sir" she replied surprised by the change in his tone.

"You can call me Milind " he said softly.

Prachi just could not understand what to make out of his behaviour.one moment he reminded her he was her boss the very next moment he behaved like a friend.what does he want to prove? She shook her head and went out while Milind smiled to himself.He immediately dialled a number.

"Miss pari..the theme is chandini .. i want the writeup done before evening" he said in a tone of finality.

During the Lunch,Pari bonded instantly with both prachi and Latha.Prachi felt a sisterly feeling towards her.She wanted to protect this naive girl from the world. When she voiced the same to Latha,she almost fell off the chair laughing.

"Look who's talking.. even I feel the same way about you darling !!"

Later that evening as prachi reached her home,she was greeted by an ecstasic Sowmya who hugged her tightly. Sowmya got a scholarship which would cover all her fees and books for her entire course.She also got certain amount of money in cash which she used to buy Bobby's books.The entire family was jubiliant and as Prachi sat eating the kheer PL made to celebrate sowmya's achievement she could not help thank her God.
She could not remember if she ever believed in gaurdian Angels, but right now she wanted to believe in one.Everything seemed to go perfect because of that Angel...Prachi smiled happily.


Over the next few days,things were only heading in the right direction for prachi.The Hospital she took her Dadi to,started offering free medicines to the aged people.the staff were given an increment in the office.Prachi could easily manage her home matters now.more and more she started believing in her Guardian Angel now which she thought was her father.

When she entered the office on that Monday Morning,her eyes automatically searched her table for the flowers.She immediately picked up the note accompanying them and read it sitting by the window.Her eyes shone brightly as she re read every line and touched the flowers.She thought back to the day when she found the flowers on her desk along with a note .It was beautiful poem comparing her to chandini signed by her secret admirer.Later in the day when she went to Milind's cabin she was shocked to find similar flowers there.Right on the cue Milind entered singing .." Chandini raatein.."

Prachi stood mortified hearing those words from his mouth.

"what?? this is one of my favourite songs..i know im bad at singing" his shoulder brushed against hers while he crossed her towards his desk sending currents through her body.

Prachi turned on her heel and left the room. Is that Milind who is doing all this? she had checked withe staff and found out that the flowers were not a part of the house keeping arrangements.then what did this mean? Milind.. her secret admirer?? she blushed at the thought..but the very next moment rubbished it..why would he? im just an employee and nothing more.. but what about the look he gives you everytime you go near him.. then again he shows his attitude as a boss.. this guy is just impossible..hmm.. how i wish these were from Milind..prachi sighed.

Prachi knew rather hoped that the flowers were sent by Milind.Never did she try to investigate who was behind this lest her hopes go down the drain. No harm in dreaming.. she told herself.She carefully put the note in her desk when Pari entered with a long face.

" what happened chutki?" Prachi asked.

Pari had visited Prachi's home several times and is now like a part of the family.prachi called her chutki as she would call a little sister.
Pari made a face at being called chutki though she enjoyed it.

"Di..im in trouble.. My exams start in 2 days.. i have'nt studied anything..im going to fail" she wailed

" why dont you take leave these two days?"

"I cant..sir wants this Report finished in 2 days and even if i work overnight i will never be able to finish this"

"Dont worry..i will do it for u..ill not let Neev know about this.your exams are more important"


"Thanks Di" Pari kissed Prachi on her cheek leaving the project details with her.

" why did you say yes?" Latha was standing in the doorway."You already have loads to do"

" You know..i just cant see her sad"

" that does'nt mean you will do anything for her.. Prachi remember this.. the people whom you get attached to the most also hurt you the most"

"Pari?? hurting me? Never !! Even if she does..i will happily bear the pain" Prachi smiled as Latha left.

Turning her attention to the files in front of her,she did not notice it was half past eleven when she finished her work.She called up her house that she would be working late and not to worry.She then started off on Pari's report working well into the wee hours of the morning.

It was five in the morning when she decided to stop and head for home.Reading the special note one more time she stood up to leave.

Suddenly everything went blank.

very nice update lilly 👏 jaldi jaldi update karna😃 😃 😳

thanks for the nice update

PART -11


"Prachi..prachi.." she opened her eyes to see Neev who was shaking her very badly shouting at the top of his voice.

prachi tried to get up immediately but her head hurt.She clutched her head with both hands as Neev helped her up to sit in the sofa.

" what the hell do you think you are doing staying up all night? if the watchman hadnt called me i would never have known..just what are you doing.."

"Neev..will you plz stop screaming..my head is hurting already.." Prachi said softly.

"its 8 o clock now prachi..tell me what work you had to finish that you had to stay up entire night" Neev asked calming down a bit.

"Woh..report.." Prachi immediately bit her tongue.

Neev reached her table immediately and opened the report which was on the top.

"This is Pari's Report..what is this doing here?" he asked reading through it.

"woh.. woh.. she left it here so that i can give it to you today" Prachi covered up immediately.

"Dont you try to lie to me prachi..you know you get caught everytime..i know Pari's style..this isnt her report..Now i want to hear it from you.."

Just on the cue Pari entered the cabin smiling widely than ever.She could not see Neev as he was standing next to the door and went straight to Prachi and enveloped her in a bear hug.

"Di you are the best..with all the help you gave me..im able to prepare well..thank you.. why are you looking at me like that?" Pari asked innocently unable to read the warning prachi was flashing with her
eyes.

With a sudden force Pari wheeled around only to find Neev holding her arm and glaring at her.She had never ever remembered seeing him so angry.the force he was exerting on her arm was so much that it felt too numb to feel the pain.Pari trembled slightly seeing him in so much anger.

"You..you..how dare you..you made prachi do your work..while you went out enjoying with your boyfriend? look at what you have done to her."

"Neev.." Prachi tried to interfere but shut up quickly after getting a furious glance from him.

" I pay you to do your work in which you have failed miserably.to top it all you made prachi suffer mentally and physically..she has not even fully recovered from her accident..if anything would have happened to her i would have killed you.." He released her arm pusing her back.

"Now leave this office right now and don't ever show your bloody face again" he spat.

Pari ran out of the cabin tears streaming down her face.Neev turned to Prachi again to find her unconscious in the sofa.Cursing Pari under his breath he took her in his arms to his car and made way to the hospital.

Milind rushed to the hospital as soon as her got the call from Neev.The doctor was examining Prachi as Neev updated him as to what lead to all this fiasco.Doctor then informed that she is fine except for the stress.she would wake up in couple of hours and then they can take her home. As Milind saw her fragile form on the bed with a colour drained face,his heart ached very badly.He wanted to take her in his arms and tell her that everything is going to be fine but could not do it.He felt so helpless.Milind asked Neev to take her home while he will set that Pari girl staright.

Pari stood in the Washroom crying bitterly.She never intended to cause pain to Prachi.She had lost her job..which would mean.. she broke down crying till there were no tears left for her.She looked at herself in the mirror..she could not break down like this..she had to go looking for another job.. she would meet Prachi in the evening at the chawl and apologise to her.She took a step forward but then had to balance

herself from stumbling forward.She took a look at her shoes which were in such a pathetic condition that she was sure they would not support her feet even for a minute more.dragging her feet along she went to her desk to collect all her things before she left the company.


"Pari..Milind wants to see you" the receptionist said in a not so friendly tone noticing the faded Kurta Pari was wearing.

"Probably the relieving formalities.." Pari thought while entering his cabin.

As soon as she entered she regretted comming in as she saw the bloodshot eyes of Milind.His face was contorted with fury and he looked at her with hatred.

The Doctor's words kept repeating in his head that if Prachi would take mental stress like this it would permanently damage her already fragile head and she would be left with nothing to remember and nothing to do.She would remain passive all her life... and this damn creature in front of me made her suffer...Milind clenched his fists as he saw Pari smile at him.

He took quick strides to her and before she could realise he caught her arm roughly.Pari winced with pain as Neev had caught her there earlier.

"Its paining is it? it pains you if i hold your arm.. then how much would it pain me seeing my prachi lying lifeless in the hospital..putting herself in danger because of you??"

He pushed her towards the wall and advanced on her so that his face was only inches from her.Pari quickly turned her face away and was shaking with fright.Milind forcibly held her face and made her look into his eyes.

"If you were not a woman..you would have landed in the hospital by now severely bruised..you deserve a punishment..nobody can hurt my prachi.. i will make sure you will not get a job anywhere through out your life..now get the hell out of here and dont you dare come near prachi again.." he pushed her towards the door.

Pari could not stand properly on her feet anymore.she hurriedly grabbed her things and made a rush for the exit.Once outside the building she sat down on the footpath trying to calm down.she felt too drained to react.She always asked God why this had to happen to her but today she was convinced she was serving some sort of sentence for some sin she did.if God has destined her to pay for it then she will.Taking the shoes in her hand she walked bare foot on the road.


"Thank God Prachi you are awake.. how are you feeling now?" Neev asked concernedly as prachi tried getting up from the bed.She looked rather dazed at the unfamiliar surroundings.Neev explained her how he brought her there.

"You should have seen Milind..prachi..he looked like he will eat up pari alive..he was soo worried for you" Neev emphasized the last line.

Prachi's heart sang a happy song to know Milind was worried for her.but did his concern extend beyond that of a Employee employer relationship ? is she reading too much into this situation? Her eyes scanned the corridor for the sight of him.

"Milind is in the office giving pari what she deserves" Neev replied seeing her.." a good amount of bashing"

"What ?!? why would Milind do that? what is Pari's fault in all this? She did not force me to do her report.i agreed to do it for her..hope Milind doesnt say anything rude to her"

"it doesnt matter anyway..she lost her job already" Neev said coolly noticing Milind at the door.

"what??" both the men had to close their ears for a second." Pari lost her job? how could you? how could you Neev? what wrong did she do"

"there is no place for incapable and non competent people in my office" Milind answered."How are you feeling now prachi?" he touched her shoulder gently in order to soothe her.

Prachi pushed his hand off her shoulder and glared at him.

"How could you do this to her Milind.You comming from a humble background sure do understand how much the girl was in need of a job that she works all day here while her friends were enjoying life in college?" she paused to gather her breath.

Milind and Neev stood there silently unable to look into her eyes.

"What you did was wrong.Neev ,you should apologise to her" Prachi said biting back her tears.

"Dont get upset prachi..if this is what you want..we both will apologise to her and get her back..im sorry ..plz dont cry" Miling hugged her loosely while standing near her bed.

"Milind..i dont want her to suffer because of me..You understand right??"

"Yes Sweetheart..i do..now stop crying and lie down.you need to take rest now." Milind made her lie down and she went into a slumber soon due to the effect of medicines.

"beta..aaj itni jaldi aagayi??" Her mother inquired getting her a glass of water.

"Haan..maa ..aaj kaam kam tha na.. Papa i got your medicines" Pari said handing over the cover to her mother and bending over the wheelchair to kiss her father's forehead.

"Did you get new shoes for yourself..you work outside pari..you should look presentable.. did you get them..how did you manage money for these medicines then?" her mother asked.

"Ma.. yes i got them..you know My boss is very good..he pays us well..i got some money for my OT few days back..i have used them.. now if your interrogation is over can i get a cup of tea plz?" she asked pulling a puppy dog face.

Pari rushed into the bathroom and burst out crying after shutting the door.

"Milind,are you sure we are at the right address? i dont think people can live in such places" Neev raised his brows.

"Neev, probably you do not know how some people like us used to live.We had to struggle on a daily basis.Now im feeling really bad for that Girl.Ive been quite rude to her"

"Dont bang..im opening the door" came a voice and as the door opened the sight before them made them stand still.

The girl was wearing a tshirt and cargos which were clearly not her size and not even hers.the sleeves hung down near her shoulder and she had rolled up her pants a bit.her hair messy and hands soiled,she stood there staring at them with her eyes swollen from crying.

"pari??" it sounded like a question from Neev's mouth.

Pari's mother came out and on enquiring who they were she immediately led them inside.Pari stayed back dreading the things that were going to happen now.She hadnt informed her parents about her job.She didnt want them to know from anybody else.

A man in a wheelchair wheeled himself into the room and stopped seeing them.

"Shukla Uncle.." Milind jumped in surprise while the old man tried to recognize the people in front of him.

Soon he hugged Milind and blessed him after Milind told him about his father.Shulkaji remarked how the small meek boy grew up into a handsome youngman all the while pulling his leg.Milind told him all about his story ,how he went from rags to riches and how his father missed his best friend dearly.He also pretended to be angry that he did not let them know that they were living in the same city.

"Where are Adi and chutki?" Milind asked suddenly not noticing the tears from Mrs.Shukla's eyes.

"Sorry sir..we forgot to ask..would you like to have some tea?" Pari asked loudly making Neev and Milind jump.Before they could respond she lead her mother into kitchen.

Milind could not understand what this girl was doing here.As sudden realisation hit him,he asked Neev to stay there and ran into the kitchen.Not finding her there,he rushed out into the back yard knowing well what she would be doing there.Sitting on her knees and crying,Pari was pulling out the weed from the ground.

"Chutki.." he called in a soft voice.

She started pulling out the weeds with even more force.

"Im sorry..i didnt know who you were..i know what i did was wrong..im really sorry"

Pari paid no attention to him and continued with her task.

"ziddi hain..apni bhai ki tarah" Vandana ji said in a small tone standing near them.

"Aunty ji..Adi kahan hain?" he asked as she lead him into the hall cum bedroom again.

"Beta..Adi hume chod ke chala gaya" Shukla ji said with great difficulty.He then explained how an accident left him paralysed and claimed his son's life.They had spent all their earnings on his treatment but there was no improvement.They had sold their house to clear their dues and moved into this house.He painfully spoke of how his little princess who was supposed to go to college turned into the bread earner of the family.He also praised Neev and Milind for treating her good as she never fails to gush about them making
both of them feel very guilty.

"She was wearing her brother's clothes" Neev said to himself as Milind went back to Pari.

"Oh..chutki.."Milind hugged her tight and wept,tears falling into her hair.Though reluctant at first,Pari hugged him back after sometime.

"Milsi..where did you go..i tried tracing you a lot..but couldnt find you" she cried bitterly.
