Recap:
Prem closes the file with a loud thud and looks directly towards me. "I just want to be clear about one thing. I don't like it when people do things without my permission, or don't tell me things that they are supposed to. I feel very cheated." he says, staring me, directly in the eyes.

Chapter 3 -
"Yes sir." I say, not taking my eyes of his hard and unexpressioned face. His eyes. They were just tell me so much about his pain. His eyes told me that I had hurt him. They told me that all this changes that he is now going through, or has gone through, are all because of me.
Prem then gives me a sarcastic, and revengeful smile. "So Miss. Heer Mann, I see that you graduated collage 2 years ago, would you like to tell me what you did in those 2 years? And why you didn't get a job until now."
I could feel what he was getting to. I knew what answer he wanted. He wanted to know what had happened after I graduated from collage. He wanted to remind me of all the moments that we had spent together. Our moments. The Prom. The Paani Puri on the roadside. He was trying to bring those memories back...and most of all, the stressful, and vile memories of THE day. The day that we had decided to part ways. THE day full of emotions that we both still had stored inside ourselves. He wanted me to remember the cheat.
I quickly turn my face away from him, trying to hold back my tears. I knew that if I thought about those 'Cheating' moments of our lives, I would give it all away. I knew that I would tell him what the real deal was. As much as I wanted him to know about what I had gone through, when I had parted ways from him, the rough heartbreaking moments which I had bared, during our break-up. I wanted to tell him the truth. I wanted to hug him. I wanted him to know that I still love him more then anything else in the whole world...but I couldn't. It was better for him to keep hating me, and torturing me then know the truth. Prem loved his father, and I love him. If I told him the truth now, he would start to hate Mr. Juneja, which I couldn't let happen. I needed to keep my distance from him.
"No sir. I wanted to spend some quality time with my family before I got on to whole job thing, and other then that, nothing special ever happened in my life." I say, turning back to face him, sure for the fact that this statement of mine would make him hate me more, but this was best for him. It was best for him to keep nourishing the fact to hate me more. I knew what these 2 years of his life had meant to him. They had been his whole life. He had lived those moments. We had lived for those moments.
I try to keep a stand, not wanting to fall down. Prem didn't deserve what he was getting. He had to move on. He will have to know that there is a life beyond love. A life beyond our relationship. Both Prem and I had stopped living our ife from the day that we broke up. We changed ourselves in order to make our loved ones happy. But now it was time for us to start living our life the way we wanted it. Prem and I would never become one, and he had to know that. Prem had to move on in life. And I will make sure he moves on in life, and this is a promise.
"Okay, great" Prem says, clapping his hands togther. "Good to know that you were actually kind enough to think about someone else's feelings for once." he says, taunting me. I don't reply. Prem then picks up my resme file and without looking away from my confused face, he takes the file and flings it behind his head, which my shocked eyes follow it to the garbage can.
"Sir?" I say, shocked, but not expecting any straight answers from him.
"You are hired Miss Mann, and I promise you, after I am done with you here, you will not be able to go anywhere else, so I assume you won't need resme's." he says in a cold, and wicked voice.
"Jee?" I say, not really getting what he meant by his riddle.
"Oh nothing. I just meant to you say that you won't be needing to go anywhere else for a job. You have been hired here, as my personal secretary." he says, giving me a chill in the spine.
"Thank you sir. I will take my leave now." I say, no other words or emotions coming out.
I turn my back and make my way outside of Prem's cabin, when he calls back to me.
"Ms. Heer Mann."
I turn back to face him, holding on to the cabin door.
"Yes sir?"
"Be sure to start your work from tomorrow. 9am, sharp" he says, assuring me that everything will be fine, and the staff will be really happy to have me.
"Yes sir." I say and then turn my back to leave.

Prem's Point Of View
~ ~ ~
After she leaves, I get up from my chair and walk over to the window, staring out in to the hot blazing sun. 2 years. Life had brought her back to me after 2 years. Face to face. Ajeeb destiny hai. 2 years ago, the girl that had hurt me most, is now back, working in the same office as me, and as my personal secretary. I place my left hand on the window, and move it up and down.
"So Miss. Heer Mann, you don't remember anything do you?" I say, talking so only I could hear. I then with force take my hand off the window and start to walk around the room.
"You don't remember the most important events of my life? Well then, I will see to it that you do remember. I will see to it that these moments of you working life with me turn in to the worst moments of your life. I will see to it that the sadness, and despair you made me feel, comes back to you. Miss Heer Mann, you will pay for every single, gham you gave to me. This time, that you will spend with me, will be torture for you. Torture." I say, in a loud, and vengence filled voice.
"Heer Mann, you don't even have the slightest idea, of what is coming towards you."
~End of Chapter 3~
So, how as it? I know you all hate Prem at the moment, but please, for me, don't. You don't know what he has gone through. You don't know what Heer did to make Prem dislike her. Don't hate Heer either. So...how was it?😳
