Wow!!! she thought!
Regained enough composure to ask , an interview, and all this?
Just that morning it had been officially announced that he was to be her mentor.
She was ecstatic! She wanted it only that way!
And now she was reporting to him for the first time as his protegee.
He looked up, called her in and got down to making her understand how mentorship programmes were to be worked out.
Just Naina, not the now cadet but the then college girl Naina who definitely was once a pampered and protected sister of his best friend Naveen.
Her happy prattle, sweet smiles, soft laughter and charming innocence .She was a totally different Naina he was seeing for the first time .
She captivated his heart then at that moment!
It remains ,to this day, with her absolutely secure within her own!
