Chapter 2 :The New Guy
Ishita's POV
I saw Neha, Mihika, and Vasudha hurdle up together at very last table near the corner. There eyes had fear in them, I took a deep breath and walked in.
Ishitas- "Hey guys, whats going on, I have work in 20 min, I cant be late"
No one spoke for a few seconds, this increased my anxiety. Kya baat hai"? I asked impatiently. Vasudha started to look through her bag, she pulled out a note folded up.
Vasudha- "I found this note on my door step this morning"
I grabbed the note, and quickly opened, it read " I know everything"- R. My heart stopped, I dropped the note on the table as if it was burning my hand. I didn't know what to say.
Mihika quickly grabbed the note, and shoved it in her bag. "Guys relax, im sure yeh koi Mazak hai".
Neha-"Tum itni sure kaise ho sakthe ho"? I don't know guys, What if someone knows what we did?
Vasudha- " noo...no body saw us that night, there is no evidence we were there" "Ishu, say something!"
Truthfully, I didn't know what to say, I looked at their faces, there were hoping I would say something helpful, but I had nothing.
Ishita-" I think mihika is right, lets just ignore the note, Its probably some prank...besides there are so many people in this town whos name starts with R..it doesn't mean its...him. That's impossible". For some reason I could not even say his name, it felt to difficult to pronounce.
Vasudh- " Youre right, its been 4 years, if someone knew they would have come out already" "Why wait this long"?
We were all quite for a while, and finally mihika said something.
Mihika- "Hum aaj raat ko dinner pe milte hai..i am getting late for now"
Neha- " Yeah, okay, I have to go as well, bye guys"
I sat with Vasudha for a while trying to talk about normal girl stuff, I asked how her new job at the news paper company was going, but I had to leave for work.
Ishita- "Okay, I will see you at dinner tonight? Will catch up later"
Vasudh- "Yeah okay, bye"
Vasudha's POV
I sat by myself for a while, as much as I tried to distract myself, my mind kept going towards that note. I drank one more coffee cup, and got up to leave.
As I turned around, I bumped straight into this guy, his tea falling over my dupatta. " oh god, I am so sorry, I didn't see you coming".
I was about to look up with anger, ready to blast at this idiot, but my heart stopped when I saw him. He was tall, dark and handsome. It felt too obvious I was blushing. "No its fine"
"By the way, I am Sushant..Sushant Sharma" He raised his hand towards me, I shaked it with my shaking hand. "Hi, Vasudha here"
Sushant- "well nice to meet you"
His phone started to ring "umm I have to go, but again sorry for coffee"
He rushed out, I just stood there, smiling like an idiot for few minutes. After a long time, something started to feel right. I looked at the time, and realized I was late for work, I quickly grabbed my bag and rushed out.
When I got to the office, everyone was pretty quite, I asked my friend priya what is going on.
Priya- "Don't ask yaar, our new boss is here" "New boss?" I asked surprised.
Priya- "Yeahh,, sir ka beta!, bahut mean hai, he wants everything different, btw, youre late today! And he hates people who are late. He is waiting for you, take these files as while."
She shoved the file in my hands and left quickly, I let out a sighh..and just when I thought something good was happening. I knocked on the door, and went in. His back was to me, "Sir", he turned around. We were both shocked to see each other, it was Sushant, the guy from the coffee shop!
Ishita's POV
I entered the restaurant, and found Vasu there first, She was day dreaming about something. I walked over and sat next to her, snapping my fingers.
Ishita-"Heyy, what happened?"
Vasudha-"Hain..nahi kuch nahi"
Ishita- "Then why are you smiling so much?" "I teased her for a while, until she finally confessed.
For few minutes, it felt like we had normal lives, normal things to talk about.
Vasudha- " I mean, he is still my boss, but I don't know, there is something about him that attracts me. I barley know the guy, but I feel different about him"
Ishita- "hmmm...sounds like love to me"
We both stated to laugh slightly, I felt happy for her, after everything that has happened, we deserved some peace.
Vasudha- "btw.. did you ever hear from Aryan"?
I became quite for few seconds, the name made me go back to that night.
