*****The Greatest Love never really fades away***** (Part 1: pg1,Part 2: pg3 Part 3:pg5)
5 years.It had been 5 years since she had been here,,since she had last seen or spoken to him.The city lights gleamed and glittered against the surface of houses and buildings ,softly reflected in the windows of cars that passed by. Bhopal'it was just as she remembered it the hustle bustle of busy people,quaint roadside food stalls filling the air with smells of various delicacies, the large houses and the beautiful structures. She had not grown up here,never even owned a house here and yet,the minute she had arrived she felt a sense of relief akin to that of a young wanderer who had finally returned home.Strange though it was,this place felt more like home than New york ever had.But then it was not so strange,after all it was here that she had found a family,she had been loved like a daughter,a sister and'she felt the sights of the city go blur as tears welled up in her eyes'and'her phone began to vibrate furiously,she saw it was her appi calling.She remembered how worried she had been when she first told her she was getting transferred to Bhopal for 6 months but then again She had been shocked too..
New york,a few days ago:
Zoya Faarooqui was tired. Tired of working her guts out everyday as manager of the IT department when she knew she was overqualified for the job. If she didn't get promoted soon she was going to quit,after all five years was a long time,even if she had gotten the job because of a recommendation by her friend she had by now shown them she was the best for the job."Miss Faarooqui",the boss wants you in his cabin",said his PA . "Come in Miss Faarooqui,sit down.The decision has been made for your promotion,we are pleased with your work and would like to promote you to heading the IT depatment here.However,first we have one last assignment for you which you must undertake following which if all goes well,you shall be promoted.""What is the nature of work sir?",Zoya asked wondering what the catch was."We have a branch in India in Mumbai and Bhopal which im sure you are aware of,however while the Mumbai branch is doing perfectly well,the Bhopal branch Is having trouble dealing either the new technology and we want you to go and train them for a duration of a year.You have worked very hard for this promotion so I suggest you accept this clause",said the boss. "Im sorry sir,said Zoya "but I cannot accept this,and If you wish to fire me you may.Thankyou and goodnight".Once she thought about it rationally she felt like kicking herself for reacting that way,but the mere mention of that place threw into a tizzy.The next day when the boss called her in again she was sure she was going to be fired but instead he had revised the clause increasing her salary,reducing the time of her transfer to 6 months and providing her with a bungalow,with servants and 2 cars during her stay there. She realized she had no option but to accept it as otherwise all her years of hardwork would be wasted and she would have to start of new. She would just have to suck it up and face that place and all the memories that would inevitable flood her brain as soon as she set foot there and hope and pray that she never ran into him,her ex Fiance.
