"Ms Ishita?" Raman called when Ishita parked her scooty at the parking area, Ishita turned at him non-interested when Raman said, "I hope you remember the challenge. If I make you call me sir.."
"Yeah yeah.. I remember. You don't need to remind me. And for your kind information, I will never call you 'Sir'." saying this she was going to leave when she stumbled on his feet and her feet dis-balanced, and ankle twisted but Raman held her hand before she could fall, they shared an eye lock when Raman pulled her to make her stand on her heels, she landed on his chest when Raman whispered, "Be careful Ishita.." Ishita looked up at his eyes, he said, "It's just the start, you had crossed Raman Bhalla's way so from now your every moves are dangerous. Be careful..!" He smirked, but seeing his smirk, Ishita furiously pushed him and going to leave but as her ankle twisted, she couldn't walk properly.
Raman was going to help her but Ishita showed her palm saying, "When I crossed your way, I didn't ask help from you. Even now when I am in problem, I don't need your help." Saying this she walked in with difficult.

Ishita was sitting in her cabin when Mihir walked in saying, "Ms Iyer? Bhai.. I mean Raman sir asked you to meet him."
"Now what that Ravan Kumar wants..!" Ishita sighed and that was audible to Mihir, he chuckled, "Ravan Kumar..?"
"Eh.. Umm.. I mean your bhai.." but she paused and looked at Mihir asking, "Can I ask you something..?" Mihir shook his head, "Is your bhai your own brother? I mean... You are so gentleman and he.. Completely opposite." Mihir stared at him when Ishita apologized saying, "I am sorry. I know it's personal, I shouldn't ask.."
"No. It's okay. Actually Raman isn't my own brother but he is more than something to me. You can tell me he is my god." Ishita's eyes popped out as how could someone give him god's place, "You might be thinking how can I make him god.. Right?" Ishita shook her head in yes but realizing what she did, she again shook her head in no..! Mihir chuckled. "You know I have no one in this world rather than Raman bhai and Bhalla family. I am their driver's son but they never treat me like this. Raman bhai loves me more than his own brother. Uncle, aunty.. After my father's death, they gave me shelter, they took my every responsibility, today whatever I am just because of them." Ishita looked into his eyes where she saw a glint of tears, she walked to him when Mihir wiped his tears and smiled at her.
"I never thought, I would get to know something about Mr Bhalla.." Ishita said with a smile.
"Yes.. My bhai isn't Ravan Kumar and now you have to accept it." Mihir chuckled.
"No. I won't.. As I didn't see his Ram Kumar avatar yet, Once I see.. I will think to change." She giggled.
"Now let's go.. Or else you will definitely see his Ravan Kumar avatar." Mihir said and they laughed on it and took leave from her cabin.
*****
"Yes Ravan Kumar.. You called me?" Ishita barged in along with Mihir and Raman simply glare at her, "Is it the manner to walk in your boss's cabin? You should knock before entering."
"Oh..! I see.. Then should I repeat my action? Okay.. Wait.. Let me do it." saying this she turned to leave when Raman got up from his chair and asked, "Hey stop..!" Ishita's lips curled with a smile but she made an innocent face and turned at him. "Did you take vow to irritate me in every possible way?"
"Me..? No.. Not at all.. You're my boss.. How can I irritate you.." Raman sighed seeing her dramatic actions, he took sit again. "By the way, what you called me once you entered?"
Without thinking Ishita replied, "Ravan Kumar..!" But hearing Mihir's giggle, she looked at Raman to find herself get catch or not.
"What? What you said..?"
"Raman Kumar.. Why? What you heard? I knew it.. I knew it..! You have problem in your ears, tell me should I fix your appointment with ear specialist?" Ishita chuckled when Mihir too tried hard not to smile.
"Shut up you both..!" He yelled even they two composed themselves, "Let's get back to work.. I have a meeting after the lunch so Ishita.. I want you to complete the presentation." He said forwarding the file to her.
"Okay..!" Ishita turned to leave when Raman called, "Listen?" She turned. "Did you spray some pain killer on your ankle?"
Ishita's face became O- shaped, she looked at Mihir who was also shocked hearing him, "What? I am asking you Ishita?"
"No.. Not yet.." She replied with hesitation.
"Mihir.. Ask the receptionist to give her some spray, and you.. apply them.. It can help you to get some relief." Ishita couldn't help but smiled and took leave from there, Mihir too followed him when Raman chuckled, "Ravan Kumar..!"
*******
Ishita was working in her cabin which was inter-connected with Raman's cabin through a glass window, Ishita was engrossed in her work when the receptionist gave her the pain killer spray but instead of applying she placed it on the table which Raman noticed, he called her.
"Hello..!" She answered, still looking at the laptop.
"Ishita, first you apply the spray.. Then do your work.." For a second, Ishita was shocked to hear him, how can someone be so concern for his employee, she turned at the window side and saw Raman signalling her.
"I will do it later."
"No. Do it now or else I will not take much time to apply it on your ankle myself."
"Who are you? Why are you so concern?" She asked looking at him.
"I am your boss for next six months and don't make stories in your mind.. I am doing this just because I want to make you presentable, as you are going to represent the project.."
Ishita made disgust face saying, "I didn't make any stories in my mind. I have much good things to do..!" saying this she hang up the call and apply the medicine on her ankle and looked at Raman through the window who smiled.

"Ms Ishita.." As Mihir walked in her cabin, Ishita greeted saying, "Yes.. Mr Mihir.."
Mihir smiled, "Call me Mihir..!" Ishita smiled, "You are so nice Mihir."
"I know..! Bhai even say the same. anyways is the presentation done? Bhai asked me to show him first."
"Yes. It's done." Ishita said forwarding the laptop.
"Okay.. I am going to the conference room, meeting will start anytime. You come first." Mihir said and took leave from her cabin. Ishita too going to leave when the phone rang.
"Hello..!" She answered.
"Bring my black coffee." Raman ordered.
"I am not your slave Mr Bhalla.." Ishita said gritting her teeth.
"No.. You are not but you are my PA and its your duty to look after your boss's every things." Raman said and hang up the call, Ishita sighed.
Ishita peeped her head inside conference room, "May I come in?" Raman signed her to walk in, "Mr Bhalla your coffee?" Ishita showed him the cup when they both heard someone saying, "Mr Bhalla does your employees call you with your name?" Raman didn't say anything but signed Ishita.
"You will say me 'Sir' right here right now Ishita.." Raman smirked when Ishita walked to him but before Ishita reached the table, Raman forward his feet on which Ishita stumbled and the coffee fall on the laptop and some fall on his suit.
"I.. I extremely sorry Mr Bhalla.. I didn't done it willingly.." She started to clean the laptop when other clients said, "It's the result to keep your employees on your head Mr Bhalla.. You should treat them as your employee."
"Yes.. You said right..!" Raman said looking at Ishita angrily who was busy in cleaning. "Stop your bull shit Ishita.. Its not your home stuffs that you are cleaning it. It's the bloody machine which you spoilt."
"I am sorry Mr Bhalla.." She sobbed.
"Hey.. What Mr Bhalla? I am not your client nor any office stuff that you are calling me with my surname. Call me with respect, I am your boss."
Ishita looked up at him when she saw a mischievous smile on his lips, "I am sorry.."
"Sorry what?" Raman asked sarcastically.
"Sorry sir..!" She said gritting her teeth.
"That sounds better, now go and make another presentation." He smiled at her. "I am sorry gentlemen.. Can we do this discussion tomorrow?"
"Its okay Mr Bhalla. No problem." The clients took leave when Ishita glared at him, "You know what.. You are a monster."
"I know that.." He smirked.
Ishita made disgust face and going to leave but Raman held her hand saying, "Where are you going? I won the bet..!" Ishita glared at him, "Now you have to do what I who ask to you." saying this Raman pulled her and she landed on his chest.
"What are you doing?" She asked with hesitation and started to take step back when Raman stepped towards her and pinned her to the wall, she tried to escape but Raman blocked her either side with his arms.
"Ishita?" She looked into his eyes when Raman started to bend his head near to her crook of head, Ishita closed her eyes tightly and turned her face other side to avoid him when she heard him saying into her ears, "Make sure, this presentation will done by tomorrow or else I won't leave single chance to insult you." saying this Raman took step back when Ishita glared at him and took place from the room.
Ishita threw the files on her table and started bad mouthing about him but in next moment she realized he was standing at the door, she rolled her eyes. "See..! Ishita.. You had done this mistake and you will rectify it. So, I decided today you can't leave the office until you finish the presentation."
"Have you gone mad? I will not do over time."
"You have no choice baby. I run this office and you have to follow my rules." Raman smirked and took leave, Ishita furiously looked on.
