Chapter 1
Manyta cursed silently as she heard the alarm blare and disturb her sleep. She had slept late last night after watching a movie. Her head was aching as she did not get her 8 hours sleep. She wanted to sleep more, but then her father had asked her to visit him early morning, and he was not a patient man. She had moved out of his home when she was 18 and now for the last 3 years she was living in a small 2 room apartment. This place was her home, her life. It gave her freedom and peace. She quickly freshened herself, made a quick breakfast and got ready to meet her father.
TRING!!!!
"who is calling at this moment?" she cried angrily
"hallo?"
" manyta! Bring that sk pharmacy file when you come, and don't forget to pick up the necessary things from our stock room"
"yes sir"
" and don't come late, or I will cut your pay"
" yes sir"
That hell of a boss was making her life miserable. She sometimes wished that she should have told her father how she was made to work like a slave, her father would know how to show her boss his proper place. But then she decided against it. she wanted to live her life in her terms and not bother her father, no one at work knew she was the daughter of such a influential man. And she liked it that way
Manyta decided to pick up the thinks from the stock room before meeting her father. She spent a good 15 minutes waiting for the papers to be set before she could carry it.
Her cell phone rang and she picked it up, it was her father
" dad! Sorry I would be there in say 5 minutes, I just..."
But he cut her in between " better be on time or..." and cut the call before she could answer
She walked very fast and the heavy packets in her hands were not helping her. She could not see anything in front as she tried to balance these heavy bags in her hand
BANG!!
And she landed on the floor, the contents In her bag had fallen away and there was a man in front of her screaming at her
" what the... cant you watch where you are going? Do you have any idea what would have happen if I had broken my back or..."
Manyta found her temper rising" look mister, I could not see ..."
"so you are blind, what a helpless girl" his voice dipped in sarcasm
" I just.."
" I don't have time for your rubbish , next time look and walk. Just be glad I am not suing you, escuse me (takes his cell as it rings) yes , its uday"and that man left leaving a angry manyta behind
As manyta gathered all her things in her bag she wondered what that man was thinking!! Was he out of his mind? Who would sue someone for bumping and falling on the floor? Could not he see she was coming? Was did he blame her as if she had committed the worst crime in the world?
As she walked to her father's place, she just could not take her mind away from his chocolate brown eyes, and his aristocratic nose. He was handsome. Wait!!! What was she thinking? And she mentally scolded herself
As she entered her father's home , she groaned, now she would have to hear another lecture about punctuality and all that
She placed her things on the sofa and went to meet him, he was having his breakfast with her brother sandeep.
Devraj:" late again!! I just don't know how you would ever succeed in life if you took things lightly "
M:" am sorry dad, I fell.."
D: " excuses, excuses!!! I had enough. There is a cheque on that table, just sign it and leave"
Manyta took her pen and was about to sign when she noticed that it was a cheque for 20 lakhs
M: "dad, this much money!!! But.."
Sandeep answered her" I want to expand our family business so I need the capital, that's why"
D:" just sign it and go and why do you want to work somewhere else when you brother has his own company?"
Manyta looked at sandeep and saw him smirk evily, he also asked" why manyta, I would take good care of you, if you worked for me"
M: (smiling dryly) : I know, but I just don't want any preferential treatment that s why I am not working, you both know that!!!
M: anyway bye, I have work to do, unlike some others here (looking at sandeeep)
*************************
Manyta was busy at the office. She was running around doing errands, she had not got a moment to rest since she had come in the morning. Some big shot was visiting their office. She was in the MD'S cabin arranging some flowers. She had done it beautifully and was about to leave when she again banged into a hard frame and fell down on her butt
She looked up and saw it was the same handsome, rude man she had met in the morning, wait!! Did she just say handsome? Gr!!!! She cursed herself
Uday gupta had come to there to meet manyta's boss mr khana for a business deal, mr khanna had asked him to be seated in his office and he would join uday in a moment as he had some work to do. So he had come to the room when the girl had collided and fallen on the ground. He did not stop her from falling. And he recognized the girl
U: do you always have to bump into people!!! This is the second time today that you are doing it, are you doing it purposely?
M: look sir, I really don't know you,, and why for god's sake should I purposely bump into you?
U: you may have some hidden agenda.
Manyta stood there open mouthed, she had met this fellow for the first time in her life and he was accusing her
Before she could say anything Mr khana can in that moment and asked : is everything alright here, mr uday?
U: yes, I think
Mr khanna: you can leave manyta.
M: yes sir
"manyta" what a lovely name, uday thought and a smile crept on his face.
***************************
Manyta was tossing and turning, she could not sleep. His face kept appearing ,every now and then. Why would anyone be so grumpy? But those chocolate brown eyes had attracted her greatly. She never knew why...
