Chapter 1
The flight landed on Delhi airport, Raman walked out from the exit door, few clients welcome him and then he gets inside the car along with Mihir.
Raman : Did you check the presentation?? I don't want to lose this project at any cost. You know this project is very important for our company. And moreover, I don't want to be here for long time, so make sure the legal formalities should end today, so that I can go back." Raman said while going through some documents.
Mihir : Yes Raman..!! I know. And I checked everything, you don't worry. We will get the deal. " He paused for a while and then said "Ugh!! Raman.. Don't worry she is fine."
Raman looked at him and said : Did I ask you anything? Mind your own business..!!
Mihir : Raman I am your friend. What do you think, I don't know why you do not come to Mumbai? Why did you always rush from one country to another?
Raman became furious and said : Mihir, if you don't stop your nonsense then I will throw you out from this car any time.
He turned his head to other side when Mihir self thought : I don't know why.. But this time I have a strong feeling that something good is going to happen with you Raman and that will make you change.
After a while later, Mihir was discussing about the project with Raman when his phone rings, he checked the caller id then received the call.
Mihir : Yes Ishita..!!
The name attracted him, he curiously looked at Mihir, meanwhile Mihir replied : Okay.. We are also reaching there. See you directly there.
As soon as Mihir hang up the call, Raman asked : Who's Ishita?
Mihir : Oh Ishita.. She is your new PA.. I told you no..!! Did you forget?
Raman recalled that once Mihir told him that his previous PA resigned from the job and then he hired Ishita.
Raman : Oh yeah!! I remember..
Raman was checking the files related to this project when his phone rang, without looking at the phone he received the call : Yes..
Shagun : Did you reach?
Raman : Hmm..!!" He only hummed as he never interested in her.
Shagun : Then why didn't you call me Raman? I was so worried for you.
Raman : Don't behave like a typical wife Shagun.. If anything happen with me, you will definitely get the news, so don't get bother about me..!!
Shagun : Why shouldn't I Raman? I am your fiance. Don't forget that.
Raman : Whatever..!! Listen Shagun, I am on my way for a meeting, so I request you don't spoil my mood. I will talk with you later. Bye." Raman irately hang up the call and looked out, it was the most irritating phase of this life that he got engaged with a girl whom he never loved. It was all about his profit. Shagun's father's is a business man with whom Raman cracked a deal and to get the deal Raman accepted the proposal.
Mihir : Raman.. What are you doing? Why are punishing yourself? You engaged in a relationship where you have no love.
Raman : Love? This word never fit in my life. Leave it and lets concentrate on the project.
Soon they reach at the office, the driver stopped the car near to the entrance, Raman and Mihir gets down when one again Mihir got a call so he said : Raman you go..!! I am coming after attending the call.
Raman nodded and walked inside, he went to the reception. Other side, Mihir was talking on phone when he saw Ishita came in her scooty, she parked it aside and was removing her scarf from her face as she always covered it whenever she drives.
Mihir : You didn't reach yet? Raman already reached. Go, fast..!!
Hearing this Ishita gets nervous, as it was her first meeting with Raman, before that she always heard about him that how much he is rude and how much he is dedicated towards his work and when it comes to work, he never listen to anyone.
Mihir : Don't waste your time Ishita.
Ishita shook her head and ran inside, she saw the elevator door was about to shut when she yelled : Hey please wait..!!" She saw someone stopped the door from closing, she sighed and ran inside quickly. She saw a guy near to age 28, standing.
Ishita : Thank you..
The guy didn't paid any attention to her,
Ishita mumbled : So rude..!!
Raman turned at her while removing his glasses from his eyes and asked in his husky voice : Did you say anything?
Ishita : Huh..!! No. Nothing.
She could sense how much rude he is, so she too thought to avoid him, Ishita was removing her scarf as she didn't done it before when suddenly the elevator's lights blinked and turned off and the elevator stopped on the mid way. Ishita who got scared with the sudden jerk on her body, she held Raman's arm tightly. Raman who was standing in a shock state, he never experienced such things as whenever he met girls they were much bold than her.
Ishita : What? What's happening??
She snuggled into him more as she gets scared very much, she stared sweating badly when finally the elevator stopped in mid way, in that time Ishita already hugged him tightly. After a while she realized she was hugging a stranger, she immediately parted from him. Raman lit up his lighter to get a view of her face, he looked at her face, seeing her once, he could feel how much she got frightened, she was sweating badly, her lips were trembling in fear. Ishita looked up at him when Raman saw her bold almond like eyes, she had a pair of beautiful eyes. Raman drowned in that eyes instantly.
Ishita said in trembling voice : I.. I.. Am.. Sorry..
That broke Raman's trance, he looked away instantly.
Ishita : I gets scared in dark.
Raman didn't paid any attention to her, he looked all around and then banged on the door asking : Hello.. Is there anyone? I am stuck inside.. Hello..
Seeing him, Ishita too banged on the door when Raman stopped back, being frustrated he kicked on the door and then called Mihir.
Raman : What the hell is happening here? I am stuck in this bloody elevator. Call the mechanic, do whatever you want but bring me out from this.
Mihir : Raman.. Calm down. I am doing something.
Raman angrily hang up the call, meanwhile Ishita tried to her best but failed. She sat back on the floor, after a moment later, Raman heard sobs, he looked other side where she was sitting though he couldn't see her properly in dark but can assume she was crying.
Ishita mumbled : I am going to die. Aiyoo murugan. Save me..!! Amma appa, now I won't able to see you ever.
She cried and that made Raman irritated, the temperature inside getting hot and moreover Ishita was continuously chanting 'I will die'. Finally not taking it anymore Raman shouted : Will you please stop it?
On his sudden action, Ishita hiccups. She said with sobs : Why are shouting on me? I don't want to die in this short age, I want to live more.
Raman replied frustrated : You aren't going to die. So stop your melodrama. And if you won't stop crying in next five seconds then I will take back your voice forever.
Ishita gulped her saliva in fear, she banged her head on wall that why did she stop him from closing the door, she silently cried when suddenly the light and the fan turned on giving them relief.
Ishita prayed : Thank you God.. You saved me..!!
As she said, Raman looked at her angrily when she put her finger on her lips and nodded no. He rolled his eyes and looked another side.
Ishita noticed him and realized he was so rude, so she asked : Don't you know how to smile?
Raman glared at her but in next moment he turned his face other side, she continued : You know, smiling is good for health. Keep smiling sometimes.
Raman once again glared at her asking : Are you going to shut your mouth or not?
Ishita sighed thinking there wasn't any chance to wasting her time on a stone like guy. She took out her phone and started checking updates when suddenly the elevator started with a jerk, within a second Ishita threw the phone and jumped and in next moment, she hugged him tightly, as she jumped on him all sudden, his feet dis-balanced and he pinned to the wall, his one hand automatically wrapped around her waist, preventing her from falling whereas other hand was tightly holding the railing for support. Ishita snuggled into his chest being scare and they remained in same position until the elevator stopped.
As the elevator stopped, they realized how much close they were, Ishita looked up at him when they shared an intense eye lock. And suddenly Raman heard the door is opening, he loosen his grip on her waist, she too parted from him and as the door opened, Ishita collect her stuffs from floor and ran out. Raman too composed his suit and made a stern face and walked out where he met Mihir.
Mihir : Raman you alright?
Raman : Yes. But if I would stay there one more second, then I would go crazy definitely.
Mihir didn't get what Raman said, so he asked confused : What?
Raman : Nothing.. Let's go, we are getting late for meeting. " He showed him his wrist watch and they headed inside the cabin of the MD of that company.
"I am sorry Mr Bhalla. I am late." Abhimanyu Raghav walked inside the cabin and greeted with Raman and Mihir.
Abhi : I heard about the elevator problem and I extremely sorry about that.
Mihir : It's okay!! Can we start the meeting please?
Abhi : Yeah sure..!!
They left the cabin, on the way to conference room, Raman asked : Where's that girl? What her name was.." Raman stretched his forehead in a manner of thinking when Mihir said : Ishita..?
Raman : Yes. Where's she? Doesn't she know I hate late comers? How can you hire such girls?
Mihir : Didn't she meet with you? Oh..!! Wait. Let me call her.
Saying this Mihir was going to call when he saw her coming from opposite side.
Mihir : There she is..
Raman looked at the direction and gets a shock, seeing the same girl, he asked : She?
Meanwhile, Ishita too stopped on her way seeing him, many questions ran in her mind, what was he doing there? Is he her new boss? Is it mean she hugged her boss? With multiple thoughts she approached to them.
Mihir : Ishita.. Meet your boss Raman Bhalla and Raman she is Ishita.
Both exchanged glances, though Raman was behaving all normal but Ishita wasn't in her normal state, she was trembling in fear.
Mihir : Ishita??
Ishita looked at Mihir when he said : Shall we go inside?
She nodded and they were going to leave when Raman and Ishita bumped with each other.
Ishita immediately stammered : I.. I.. Am.. Sorry!!
Raman : The conference room is on that way..
He pointed behind her, she shook her head and they walked in. Raman entered in the room and greeted with every clients, then he took the seat opposite to Abhimanyu's and was straight to the projector, from his side he could get a full view. Soon the meeting started, Mihir instructed Ishita to present their project.
Ishita went near the projector and describing everything about the project whereas Raman was lost in her, the entire room was dark and the projector's bright light was falling on her face and her face was glowing. Her hair was tied in a beautiful bun and few strands were freely flying, the way she was tucking the strands, giving him goosebumps. He never felt in this way for any woman. She was completely irresistible.
Raman was very much busy in observing her when Mihir asked whispering : Raman? Did you like her presentation?
Raman : Yes. I like her.
Mihir confusedly ask : What?
That time Raman realized what he confessed, he smacked his head for saying those words.
Raman : I.. I mean.. I like her presentation.
Mihir : Oh..!! May be I heard something else.
Raman : Then consult a good doctor.
Mihir didn't say further as he knew if he say something Raman will definitely reply back and this will continue coz he never likes to give up. Mihir settled on his chair once again, whereas Raman again engrossed himself in admiring her. Soon, she finished the presentation and everyone clapped.
One client : I must say you have good employee..
Raman smiled looking her, today he felt proud. Raman had multiple companies in various countries over this world, but no one ever expressed him in such way which Ishita did. She is different from others, so much dedicated towards her works.
Abhi : So Mr Bhalla?
Raman looked at Abhi who said : It will be honor for us to work with your company.
Raman smiled and shakes hand with him whereas Ishita looked on happily. After that Raman instructed Mihir to complete all the paper works and meanwhile he took leave from there.
Raman was on his way to hotel, he has flight after three hours but in this two hours something happened with him that this time he doesn't want to go back, this time he wanted to stay back here but other side he controlled his emotions and made his mind to go back.
Raman was drinking in this room and recalling his meeting with Ishita, he stopped drinking and went to the window, he looked outside, he was on the 21th floor, from here he could see the city. He was in deep thoughts when his phone rang.
Raman saw the caller ID, and received the call : Yes Mihir.
Mihir : Did you left for flight?
Raman : No. But why are you asking?
Mihir : No. Actually the paper work hadn't done today. Mr Raghav wants to do it in every possible legal way, so he said it will take two days.
Raman : What the hell..!! Is that mean I need to stay here for this bloody two days?" Raman was so furious on this decision.
Mihir : Raman its just about two days or else you can go back if you wants but after two days you have to come again.
Raman thought for a while and then said : Okay!! Just cancel my ticket but make sure the paper work has done in next two days. Is that clear?" He sternly ordered.
Mihir : Yeah. Okay..!! I will look after it.
Raman hang up the call and once again looked out of the window and once again he went to the deep thoughts.
