~ CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE ~

Roli was speechless and overwhelmed with the wrenching pain that kept building in her chest. Siddhant with his dangerous glower, clenched teeth, throbbing jawline and flaring nostrils looked like an absolute monster when he uttered those words. And he wasn't joking. He meant every word of what he said. She knew that he was serious. And his threatening stance gashed her deep. Really deep. She felt powerless and cornered. And she so badly wanted to justify herself. But how can she stand up to him?

"Okay..." was all that she could mumble before gathering her broken pieces together and shuffling out of his cabin.

As soon as she exited his cabin with slow heavy steps, she got curious, questioning glances from Dhruv and Mukti. What happened, Mukti gestured with her hand.

Their curiosity was broken up by a furious Siddhant who stormed out of the room and paused halfway only to pick on Roli again. "How far have you reached with the filing?" he asked in an intimidating tone.

"H-half a stack done," she managed to say.

"I want all the bundles finished by this evening, or trust me, you're not going home."

"Okay," she stammered in reply.

Mukti waited for Siddhant to buzz off before speaking up. "Oye, what's happening?" she asked quietly.

Roli wearily crumpled down onto the chair and took a deep sigh. She didn't dare to share about the mishap at the mall and the YouTube videos. If she did, it meant that she would have to share about the... ugh... kiss too... not to mention the close encounter they had on the escalator.

I don't understand this guy. I just can't understand him. He's so confusing. Why is he behaving like this? What is his problem? Why does he keep picking on me? Bloody sadist. Is he taking revenge for that speaker and coffee incident? By now, he should be done with his sadism. This is too much now. Hasn't he had enough? I can't believe that I'm stuck with him for a month. For anything and everything he keeps picking on me. Always after my ass! If I had any choice, I would simply screw him in the ass and walk out of here!

But then... Roli had fleeting images of the incident at the mall. In that case, why did he come to my aid in the mall? If he hadn't broken my fall, I would have had a nasty accident. I mean... I've had accidents before... that accident at the door for instance... when he knocked me down... he never even bothered to help me then... so why did he help me in the mall? He also helped me on my way down. And that's something I never asked for.

"Where are you lost, girl?" Mukti's voice snapped her out of her trance.

"Nowhere yaar," she said very quietly. "I'm here only."

"I think you're not okay," said Dhruv in a concerned voice.

"I'm damn sure that this bugger has eaten her head again," concluded Mukti and leaned back onto her chair angrily. "Seems like you have become his favourite target now."

Roli just looked at Dhruv and smiled drearily. Yeah, once upon a time, Dhruv was Siddhant's favourite target, that is... until I came by. "Nah, it's just that... I'm tired. Pretty fast day. So..."

Before she could complete, the door opened and Cabir flourished in with a leather bag hung over his shoulder and a large box of pizza in one hand. "Aaand I'm back!" he drawled and made his way in.

"Here comes the Cabir!" Mukti chirped happily.

Roli too felt relieved to see him. It was a pleasant feeling to be around this guy. He was the exact opposite of Siddhant. In fact, she had actually begun to miss him. After all, he had taken a step early in the day to protect her from Siddhant's vicious rage.

"Alright guys, I've got some pizza, let's dig in." Cabir placed the box of pizza on his table and eagerly opened it up. Mukti and Dhruv wrung their hands and moved towards Cabir, ready to pounce in. "Then there's garlic bread and fries... and some coke..." Cabir paused as he noticed a lost Roli sitting a bit off and smiling at them.

"Looks like Roli Dwivedi is in love." That was the one comment that was enough from Cabir to snap Roli out of her trance.

"Huh?" She blushed almost instantly. Love? I wonder what he means...

Mukti and Dhruv giggled at that. "I'm not in love," she snapped defensively.

"Oh yes you are," said Cabir, "I see all the symptoms... "

"What symptoms? Cabir! I'll kill you!" Roli was smiling hard now.

"Who is it huh?" Cabir leaned forward and squinted curiously, "Ranbir Kapoor? Or... is it... the Greek god?"

"Ooofff puh-lease!" she snapped, got to her feet and punched Cabir in the arm, "I'll really kill you now!"

She had indeed become allergic to Siddhant now. Why in the world did I ever have a crush on him? I'm such a dumbass.

"Haan tho kill me later na," Cabir raised a defensive hand and warded off her blows, "first you better come and dig in before it gets cold. See, it's vegetarian too. I knew that you wouldn't like chicken much."

"That's okay Cabir," she smiled, "I've got my lunch so..."

"We'll have that too," he replied and waved at her to join, "in fact we've all got our lunches. So we'll have a round table conference after this pizza."

Roli, who was feeling much better now, nodded her head with a smile and joined the threesome for a slice of pizza.

Several minutes into their snack, Roli spoke up, "so where have you been? Didn't see you around for quite a long time."

"Yeah," Cabir replied with a mouth full of pizza, "had some work out... so..."

"Oh I see. How did it go?" she asked and helped herself to some coke.

"Not bad," he answered, "much easier today. Weather wasn't that bad either. Quite pleasant. And trust me Roli, these government guys no? They're pretty tough to handle. Sometimes I really feel like kicking their butts to get them moving, but you know... things don't always work that way. Oh... hummm... tissue... got tissue around here?"

Roli spotted a box on the visitor's table. "I'll get it."

She got to her feet and hurried to the table to get the box but screeched to a halt as she nearly bumped into someone with a steaming cup of coffee in his hand. She tipped her head up to catch a glimpse of the towering and menacing figure's face. Of course, who else could it be, but Siddhant?

Really feel sad for roli fab update dear

Nice update dear.

Sorry to keep you guys waiting. Here's the next update. Enjoy ;)

~ CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO ~

Siddhant + coffee = okay

Roli + coffee = that's okay too (surprisingly!!)

But when a steaming cup of coffee comes in between Siddhant's and Roli's equation, the result can be deadly. Especially for Siddhant.

Oh Shit! That's the look Siddhant had on his face. He felt like a cat that had slipped into a pail of hot, boiling water. Once bitten, twice shy. This female is out to ruin me! I'm sure she wants to destroy it! As if she didn't get her fair share of enjoyment this morning! Only God and I know how I'm managing to get around normally! I still feel so bloody raw!

Cabir, Dhruv and Mukti were intrigued at this confrontation. They curiously watched the duo speechlessly rooted to their spot. The steaming cup of coffee in Siddhant's fidgety hand brought a big, satisfied smirk on Mukti's face.

Cabir quietly got up from his place, shuffled towards the duo and stood across them with his arms folded and a hand resting on his chin. "Ermm... everything okay guys?" he enquired in a quiet, amused tone.

Siddhant's gaze darted from Roli's puzzled face to Cabir's amused one.

"I think that there's a traffic gridlock," commented Cabir, "so let me be the police guy. Siddhant... carefully... slowly... slip into reverse gear and back up a little. Roli... first gear only ah? Inch forward a bit and park yourself in the side and let Siddhant drive past."

Siddhant glowered at Cabir.

"Arre-arre-bhai-bhai, this is not the time for calling names or spitting venom," Cabir placed an assuring hand on Siddhant, "keep all your ego issues aside and follow traffic rules. Or else, nothing's going to clear up."

Siddhant rolled his eyes irritably, backed up a bit and let Roli to "park" herself far away from his zone before he moved on to his cabin.

"See? It's that simple!" Cabir slapped his hands together and wrung them whilst looking around victoriously. "Now if you guys kept on honking your horns at each other, would this have been possible? No, right?"

Roli returned with the box of tissues and handed it over to Cabir. "Thanks kiddo," he said and pulled out a few plies.

"Oye, why are you so happy?" Dhruv asked as he noticed Mukti laughing to herself.

"N-nothing," she hissed whilst struggling to smother her laughs.

"I think you need to take a few days off Mukti," Cabir announced and plopped down onto his chair. "Seriously, you need a break."

"Yaar, I'm fine," she croaked through huge smiles.

"Achcha, tell me. Why were you laughing?" asked Cabir curiously.

After Mukti made sure that Siddhant wasn't listening she said, "I think that someone will switch to ice-tea very soon."

Dhruv was happily giggling now. After all, that's the only way he can get back at Siddhant for all the relentless torture he had been subjected to!

"Guys, come on yaar," said Cabir with fake concern, "try to understand. It's not funny. The poor guy... you have no idea how he feels."

Mukti was laughing hard now. And so was Dhruv. Roli had no idea if she should laugh or no... Yeah, she was getting credit, for busting his balls. But that wasn't something she was proud of!

Meanwhile Cabir rambled on Siddhant's present condition and made his colleagues laugh more. "... Cooked... steamed... Boiled..."

The rest of the day passed on rather uneventfully. Siddhant was engrossed in his own work which was good news for Roli. She still had a lot to go and the clock was already going to hit 6 PM. She was literally struggling to put papers together and pin them. It seemed like a herculean task that she simply could not put her thoughts together. And to top it off, her back and entire being ached like crazy. She must have bent over and pulled out hundreds of files at least thousands of times. Her guts were getting cramped now from this super workout! I'm so damn slow, she thought and grew depressed by the minute, I don't think that these big corporates are for me... where the competition is huge. I just can't stand up to it. Is it just me or is everyone else like this? Slow and clumsy? I don't think so...

"Hey..." a voice startled her and made her gasp loudly.

It was Dhruv. "Oops, sorry," he smiled sheepishly, "didn't mean to scare you."

"It's okay," she said with a breathless grin.

"See listen," he drew in closer and gathered up the documents scattered around, "just wrap up this filing business. It's getting late and you need to go home."

"No yaar," she replied drearily, "I can't. I have to finish this. Or else..."

"Roli," hissed Dhruv, "come on. That's too much of filing. Even if you stay till midnight, it won't get over. Be practical."

"But Siddhant..."

Dhruv cut her off. "Tell him to get lost," he snapped irritably, "he's crazy yaar. If he's such a wise guy then let him do it. All what this guy knows to do is to shit down other people's heads."

Roli gave him a little smile. "You really don't like him, do you?"

"Do you?" asked Dhruv with raised eyebrows to which Roli seemed lost.

"I might have before," she sighed in a low voice, "But now... I think I don't."
