Prologue

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Aren't you happy?" Mrs. Smith, the owner of the restaurant asked me as I climbed down the stairs.
"Of course, I am. This is something I dreamt of everyday. Why do you ask so?" I said, plastering a smile and wishing Mrs. Smith believes my lies. She was someone I always looked upon as a mother after my parents death. She was my mother's, Sweta Gupta's best friend and I had known her from the time I was born. Her loving and caring nature made her my favorite aunt ever since. And I was thankful for that one thing which my mother hardly possessed- looking at my face and predicting correctly that something was wrong with me. But today, I just hoped that she wasn't good at that.

"Khushi, You know me right? I can tell you.. there is something that is bothering you...tell me my daughter" She caressed my head as he held my hand with the other hand and took me downstairs.

She took the bouquet from my hand and kept it on the wooden table.

"Ever since, you heard of your promotion you had been acting like this...whats wrong? Tell me.. I am there with you." She said in such a manner that I wanted to blurt out everything that was bothering me. But I held myself because I knew.. if i revealed anything she would be in danger.
"No Aunty ... its nothing like that..I am happy with what I have achieved. i just wish my parents were with me celebrating my success...nothing else .. just missing them."

Mrs Smith smiled at me and I gave a sigh of relief. It was obvious that she believed me.
Before she could say anything Anna's voice resounded in the air calling for her.
She just kissed my forehead and left.
I stood up in hurry and proceeded towards the exit.
As soon as I opened the door a saw flash of red and then it was gone. I looked on startled.
I frantically searched here and there for the sigh of red but it was no where in sight.
And then my eyes rested on the piece of paper under my feet.
Which read "Good job ..waiting for you at Starlight restaurant at 8 pm. IN RED - ASR"

This is the first time I am posting a story here.

I have already posted it in two other sites and I really dont have any idea..as what kind of response I will get.

So please read n hit the like button or drop a word or two if you think its worth it.

Chapter 1

"Mummy , Will you make me a burger?...I am so hungry anddd tireddd."I said as I launched myself on the counch.

"why wouldn't you? You have been working hard day and night like a robot... if you keep working this way...You will grow

sick ,my child" She yelled as she brought a cup of coffee for me.

"mom, dont worry... Your daughter is one hell of a fighter. I wont fall sick so soon. My mother glared at me.

She had heard this like an umpteemth tired. And she seemed tired of it already.

"ok ...ok.. i am sorry alright!! raised my hand in surrender.

She heaved a sigh and I felt guilty. Her eyes grew narrow and tears threatened to come out. She jerked around and left our small living room

I looked on. No matter how much we tried our past never left us alone. I was sick of trying and very much wanted some supernatural power to swipe out every problem from

our life. But then again I remided myself that I had to be strong, if not myself then for my mother , my only family.

Dinner was an uneventful one. Apart from passing smiles to each other and savouring the food she had made, we discussed nothing.

Later that night when I laid dowm, I vowd to make a better day tomorrow and never let any dark cloud hover upon us again.

Little did I know ,it was just the beginning. Beginning of endless suffering where happiness would be a mere oasis.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ST. Josephs Colleege , Belora

Miss Melina was a women in her late twenties. Fair, tall with a slender body, carried the air of confidence around her and why not?

She was P.G.T in computer Engenerring and a very great teacher. Everyone loved her. And boys?

They were crazy about her. Did I mention she looked very beautiful..like veeerryyy beauutiful ..

Her flawless skin shone under the sun-rays she walked towards me in the corridors of St. Josephs college.

And anyone who would pass by can tell you how much the boys or for that matter the male staff were shamelessly ogling at her.

But she did nit gave any heed to them and proceeded towards me rolling her eyes.

"So miss Khushi..I need to talk to you ... please follow me." She smiled and walked passed me.

I adjusted my spectalces and followed her inside the cabin.

"Please be sitted"

settled myself and wondered what she wanted to talk about. Did I do anything wrong? No ..she seemed to be in a very good mood.

I slapped myself for thinking to much. This was my problem>

I used to give so much of my time in thinking unneccessary things. You know.like I OVERTHINK.

"No need to be nervous khushi, actually I am here to give you a news...You remember the campusng that happened a month ago"

Ofcourse I did. That was a very beautful experiene. I remembeer I was so tenssed as well as nervous about it.

The interview went well neverthless. And the authorities were also so supporting.

I nodded.

"Well, they have been going through everyone's resume and they seem to be interested in you.

They called up today in the morning and they want to meet you."

My joy knew no bound. I didnt know much about the company except the fact that they were very renowed one.

I grinned ear to ear as she explained me about the meeting and what I need to prepare.

"Thank you mam"I said and almost danced out the cabin. Well, Almost.

"What is it?" Anna yelled in irrittaion as I called her at evening.

"Dont shout. I have sensitive ears."I pouted as I munched my favorite cookies, my mom made after hearing the news.

"look ... whatever you are about to say , better be something important or else.. I will shoot you for disturbing me during my yoga classes."

"It is..."I grinned."you remeber the time when we had campusing in our college...? The company seems to be interested in me and asked Miss melina to fixed

my meeting with them."

But I could hear Anna frowned.

"How is that possible , khushi?...i they were interested in you they would have informed to a day or two later after the interview..why after almost a month?"

Anna explained and I too started to think the same thing.

"oh..yaa... perhaps it took them time to understand your talent .. you know hidden talent?...hahaha..."Anna laughed as she joked.

I managed to smile.

"Arre... why are you quite now?..come on khushi... I was just curious.. thats it... ok my sir is calling me.. talk to you later ..byyee.."

"byee." but she had already disconnected the call.

Anna was right somewhere.. Why a big company like HR house would take such a long time to decide something..

I thought and thought an thought.. and later scolded myself for thinking so much..

Uff!! khushi !! Stop thinking so much. These are big companies and have other things to do rather than hiring an intern.

That night I slept pecefully thinking about the possible job oppurnity.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Somewhere In belora

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Sir, I have informed the authorities and we have fixed the meeting with Miss Gupta at Starlight Restaurant at 4 pm." His pa informed him

and he cut the call immediately.

He leaned some more on his counch and closed his eyes.

"Finally, I will make you suffer Khushi Gupta .. so much that you will beg yourself to be killed." He gave a sinister laugh as he made himself a drink.

The game has just begun!!!!

Heyaa friends

I don't know how this chapter turned out to be..😃

Thank you😊

Chapter 2

As Anna bid me goodbye after drooping me by her bike at entrance of HR designs, I looked at the huge building which shone due

to sun-rays being reflected by its glass covered walls. I smiled at the security guard after showing him my ID and entered in.

The yard was a beautiful sight in itself. With colorful flowers surrounding the well trimmed garden it gave rather a vibrant feeling to the dull looking building.

Mr. Akash Singh Raizada greeted me with a pleasant smile as he noticed me talking with the receptionist who anyways was giving a weird look

looking at my dress. I looked at my dress. I wore black jeans with off-white colored top along with a scarf. That's ok right? Even Anna

seemed to be okay with it otherwise she would never let me come without the proper dress code.

I wondered whats wrong with me..or Her?

"..Miss Gupta are you listening" Mr. Akash Singh Raizada stared at me with concern.

I had the grace to blush. "I-I was... nothing... woh actually.. I was thinking why everyone is staring weirdly at me." I glanced around the room and then at him.

"Oh _ that!! haha..that's nothing.. actually Miss Gupta you are fully covered"

"What ?" I replied shocked.

"I mean you are the first female candidate who is fully covered from head to toe and it is not common thing here..."He said and gave an uncomfortable smile.

It is then I noticed every female employees and there was none who had cloth below their thigh or for that matter knees.

I don't know why but I found this rather funny. "Can I as you a question , Sir?"

"Akash"

"pardon?"

"Call me Akash."He smiled.

"Well please ask"And he started walking.

"I was asked to come at Starlight restaurant.. i mean why sudden changes?"He slowed down and again he increased his pace.

And then he explained about the team that was supposed to meet me had some important meeting settled which they couldn't shift.

I nodded all the way. Half of my brain comprehending the information he was giving and the other half thinking of possible things

I could do to blend in their environment.

"Listen Khushi, our boss believes in honesty, loyalty and perfection. and to retain yourself for a long time you got to hold his qualities real hard."

He sited and explained me about the person I was to work with. So after a full-fledged lecture I came to know that my would be boss was, moody,

short-tempered, extremely conscious about hygiene and a work freak.Dude It would be hard to handle him. I murmured.

"And yes Miss Gupta ,he is very specific about what the sales manager wears. They are to wear a red dress quite often like four times a week. That's means

you have to do shopping"At the end he grew friendly talking about me shopping.Thanking him I left the office premises.

As i walked past the building I felt a bit dizzy. To tell you the truth ,I found the idea of wearing red so weird. I frowned. This company feels so weird.

I had an uncanny feeling as I reached near the taxi stand and looked at the building that stood high in the skyline.

It would be interesting working here. Just then a taxi stopped in front of me and I hopped in.

flash of red-

When i had just stepped down from the taxi a red flash came across my face. This was the first time I had been accustomed to this strange thing.

I couldn't understand what exactly it was. But i was sure it had the color red- the color of love ,the color of BLOOD!!

And that's when it happened. A bike came like a wind and had me hit by it making me land into the color of RED.

I blacked out.

Chapter 3

Mr. Abhay Singh Raichand was rather a mysterious person. He spoke only when he thought it was necessary. His blue eyes seemed to give an impression that he was looking very deep in everything he saw.

I was intimidated my his serious look given that I was a jolly person. Nevertheless, he was a handsome guy in his late twenties. I couldn't help but admire him.

Did I tell you he saved me from that accident? Thank God, I was not injured much but a wound managed to cast on my pale leg. I was so frightened by the blood that I had passed out.

"Miss Gupta , you should take rest. And are you sure you don't want to inform your family?" He said as he stood up.

"No Sir.. they would really be tensed if I tell them. Beside its just a small wound.. I will be fine." I smiled and I think I saw something like smile but not exactly that.

I saw a flicker of anger in his eyes but then it was gone before I could comprehend.

He stood up gave me his card and walked out without glancing back once. For some reason I found it rude but then again I reminded myself that I shouldn't judge people like that.

He was a nice stranger after all.

The walk from the clinic to my home was a very troublesome one. For once I was thankful that I had wore jeans and it was possible to hide away the wounds.

My mom was out for the market and the locality was deserted as there was a marriage going on in near neighborhood so the only witness to my almost tragic accident was seen by the only person who saved me. Wait a second!! I didn't even thank him for his help!! oh shit.

Just then I remembered the card he had given me.I fondled through my bag and managed to get it out.

Mr. Abhay Singh Raichand

CEO- AR designs

My jaw dropped. OMG. Such a celebrated personality had helped me. I blushed. And you didn't have the grace to thank him you stupid!!!

I groaned. My mind went into a war if I should call him or not. He seemed to be in hurry. He is the CEO of AR designs.

It was obvious he was a busy person. So perhaps it would be a disturbance for him. Beside it would look bad if I call him just to say thank you.

Holy goodness Khushi! Than why would he give you his card?

I questioned myself and later as I reached for my home I concluded I would look like a despo who wants to friend the CEO just because he helped him.

My mom opened the door and stared at me for long time and didn't give me a way in. I frowned.

"What? Give me a way mom,what happened?" Did she witnessed my accident? No , it cant be or else she would have gone hysteric and would have come to the clinic like crazy.

"Ah- come sorry"

I limped a little hoping that mom doesn't notice. And guess what ?she didn't. To my surprise, I heard her murmur 'Was it really him?'

My mom looked tensed. I asked what's wrong but she ignored the question and asked me to get fresh and come to the dining table.

I rolled my eyes. Why everything and everyone is acting so weird around me?

Few days later

I took a deep breath as the elevator came to a stop at the 11th floor, the last stop of the lift and the office of the CEO- Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada.

I stepped into the corridor as I murmured the name of the goddess so that she could take away all my nervousness.

As I walked past all the rooms reading the plates I stopped at the last one which read "CEO-Arnav Singh Raizada"

Ok khushi, you can do this. I practiced a smile and knocked three times in a row.

After knocking for two times more and not getting any reply I peeped in.

"Sir?" but the cabin was empty.

"Sir?"I entered and looked around. He seemed to be nowhere in sight. I waited for few minutes and when he didn't appear I decided to go down and inform

Akhash.

Just then a hand came around my waist locking my left hand and the pressed my mouth. I got scared. I started getting out of his grip but he was too strong.

"who are you?" he inquired as he held me more tighter. my back facing him.

I moved my free hand and tried to shove my file document at his face.

"uummmimmmkhummshii..."I tried talking, my lips touching his palms.

"what?" I got tired and stopped struggling, moved my right hand frantically holding my documents.

he pushed me on the couch that I didn't notice before. He stood in front of the exit as he first observed my face and then peeped inside my file.

I blushed. Even though he had looked at me with suspicion but his looks burned me. He was a pretty head. And from what I had experienced before he had a muscular body.I blushed some more if that was possible.

I saw realization dawn him as he read my appointment letter. He kept or better say threw my document on the table kept beside and folded his hands.

He was looking at me as if nothing else existed in this whole world.

"Si-rr I- I am Khushi Guptaa..I had came here as Akhash Sir asked me to.."I said as I stood up. He was so annoying. I mean who on earth does, what he did a few minutes ago? He was the CEO and He has a dozen of security guard for an intruder to come in. Dumb head.

"Miss Gupta.. Right?" He said as he raised his eyebrow in perfection. Goodness he was Greek god!!

"yes" I looked here and there unless I get scared his looks. Without saying anything he went around the table and sat on his chair.

He dashed some files across the table, opened his laptop and started typing.

" These are the last year account of our sales in India and aboard. Study it. And make a presentation on it as well. By 2 pm."He said as he kept working not even at me.

I imagined him to be a robot as he spoke in a robotic tone.

I looked at my watch which showed 11:25 pm. means I had two and a half hours in my hand. And looking at the stack of files I wondered if it i even possible.

"Is that clear Miss Gupta" At last he looked at me.

"yes Sir"I said as I collected the files.

He hmmed and asked me to leave. Just when I held the knob of the door, I heard him say.

"And talking about me being confused about as intruder... I expected you to be in red"

RED!!RED!!REDD...arrrghhh...he doesn't allow anyone in his cabin without this color or what??

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Somewhere in Belora.

"Sir its done... I have send all the images to you mailbox." the person on the other side said as I observed her working on her desk.

I expected her to be in red,but she didn't. I was furious on her but then I cooled down because it was just the beginning.

I drank my coffee and watched her. She didn't look bad in green as well. She is all mine. I smirked.

Chapter 4

The work that I was assigned with was a really tiresome one. I profusely cursed my new boss and at the same time wished I could finish the work in time.

I had to. After all, I should try to make a good impression on my boss.. then maybe I will get a better job opportunity?

As the clock struck 1:00 my stomach growled. I was hungry. But only half of the work was completed and it would take another 1 hour to complete it.

Godd!!! Atlest I should get time to eat. I pouted and resumed my work. When my stomach growled and made unwanted noises ,after 5 minutes ,begging me to feed the tiny mices

dancng in my stomach, I gave up. I decided I should take some food within ten minutes and work back in extra speed for next hour.

"Two panckes please."I ordered as I sat down on the chair. The canteen area was more pleasing than the working one. I wished I could bring my desk here.

Just then, I dont know why but I felt being stared at. I looked around, that is when my eyes met his- The Arnav Singh Raizada. His eyes looked so softly at me

that I was compelled not to break the eye lock.

I felt my cheeks burn as we kept staring at each other. What are you doing, Khushi?...he is your boss... look away..look away..

I said dammit look away. But then an employe came up to him and he moved away his gaze.

And I was very much thankul or it. I didn't like the unsettling feeling in my stomach.

Though it felt good..but...arr..I didn't like it..When I was almost over with my lunch I looked at that direction again. He was still standing there with his employes.

But this time when our eyes met, it had something else in it- raw anger!!

I hurriedly finished the remains and decided to walk back to the counter to pay the bill.

After an hour, when I was over with my work I smiled in glee and gave a yawn. A little bit of streaching and I thought to report him the same.

I reached for the elevator and entered in. To my suprise, Akhash also entered.

"Oh Khushi..how is your day going?" looking at my files "Seems like ASR has already assignd you with tons of work..Is it tiring?..Do let me know, I can ask ASR to be easy on you."

"No..Not at all"I lied though my teeth "..infact I am really glad he trusted me with such a load..beside it brodens my horizone about the whole sales matter." I smiled and he reciprocated.

After exchange of few words here and there, he left the lift at 9th floor. I was really fond of Akhash. Though he talked less and appeared to be shy..he was very friendly and supportive.

Infact, he was also there for the interview in my college. Maybe, he had only recommended me!! who knows?

I was deliberately making slow steps towards the cabin where the lion resided. I wondered and wondered that what I had done wrong that he looked so angrily at me.

Maybe , I should have smiled when he had looked at me. Perhaps, that was how the high class society people acted!! But no khushi!! you had to act like an idiot.

I hoped my first day didn't end up being the bad one.

As I reached the 11th floor,I adjusted my spectacles and took a deep breath.

Mr Raizada sat on his chair in a stiff manner. The only thing that gave away about him not being a statur was his hands typing furiously on his laptop.

"May I come in, Sir?" I asked.

He stopped typing and looked at me. He nodded and resumed typing. ROBOT!!

"Sir, I have studied all the datas and prepared the presentation on the same. I have forwaded the ppt to your mail id."

"hmmm"..Hmmm? thats it...for god shake I had worked like crazy in a crazy speed and the only response I got was hmmm?

I wished I could hit him on his head with the laptop he was oh-so lovingly working with. I imagined the situation and I felt a little good.

I couldn't help but a chuckle left my mouth as I imagined him begging me for forgiveness.

He looked with wide eyes at my reaction and all I wished was the mother land to open her arms and let me in.

"Do you want something Miss Gupta?" He asked raising his one eyebrow pefectly.

"Ah- No .."I said embrassed.

"Then LEAVE." I almost ran out. He is so arrogant. Akhash was right. He had very bad temper. And his mood swinged like a girl on a swing.

When I recahed back to my desk which was on 7th floor I wondered how much weight I will loose in a month. Rushing from my desk to his cabin was really time and energy consuming.I sighed.

Now, that I was finally settled on my desk I wondered what should I do? He didn't assign me any work and I felt free. Lets wait till he says something. I decided to play some songs and relax a bit.

The clock struck 6:00 and still there was no call from him. Few of the employees had already left the office and some other were getting ready to leave.

Having no idea what to do..I looked around hoping to spot Akahsh. But he was no where in sight. I sat back disappointed. Noise of heavy rainfal and storm made its way to my ears.

What the hell!! I didn't bring umbrella with me. How will I get back home? Uff khushi, first of all, get the permission for one.

An hour later, when I lost my patiece. I headed to his cabin. The office was almost empty now with one of the employee packing his stuffs.

On my way, I spotted him busy with his phone, probably yelling on the person at the other side. Poor creature.

He seem to be in a foul mood, I had never seen him in a good mood ,anyways.

"Aman dammit, I want those files tommorrow. I dont care how will you do that!!"" and he cut the call.

"Sir?" I called out. He turned around slightly. He seemed to be suprised. " Sir, Can I go home Sir?" He stared at me for few seconds with a poker face.

"Go"

"Thank you Sir"

I rushed towards the lift and in the next 10 minutes I found myself standing at the entrance of HR house. For god sake I didn't have umbrella. I decided to call Anna so she could pick me up...

Her phone was not reachable. I looked at my watched which showed 7:23 pm. I have been standing here already for so long and the rain decided to be more heavier.

I took a deep breath, kept my spectacles inside my bag, and brought my scarf more closer of my body.

I braced myself and then the next second I ran like a hurricane(that is what I thought I looked like) I halted when I reached the bus stand and relaxed. The taxi stand was almost empty unlike other days.

Two men who looked like the goons from a hindi movie, stood a distance away from me. I shivered. Goodness, I wished I reached home as soon as possible. Suddenly, my phone rang and I wished it was from mom or Anna.

But alas my phone dropped from my hand as I shivered due to the cold water dripping down my body. I was wet from head to toe. I picked it up and impatienly waited for it to start again.

"oh-ho...what a beauty ?"One commented.

"that too wet from head to toe..haha" Another commented.

"shut up, dont you have mother and sisiters at your home. Have some shame."I shouted and walked a distance from there. The road was almost deserted. The watch showed 7:45 pm and I knew the bus would arrive

after 15 minutes only. I felt tears threatening to fall down. I didn't knew how I will survive these 15 minutes with those jerks commenting cheap things about me.

A minute later , one men came towards me...and stood really close to me. He smelled of alchohol and I felt like puking,

"what are you doing ?..move" I said but he held my hand in a tight grip. I struggled but failed, the other man came around and held my other hand.

"nothing much ...just thinking to pleasure you. "I felt filty and tears rolled down my cheeks.

"Let me give you the same pleasure you scoundrel" a hand came from behind punching him straight on his face.

I looked on suprised at the person standing infront of me.
