Chapter 2

Harshika pov,

Despite the fact that I became a chef in order to enter his mansion, I enjoy cooking. I feel pure happiness and enjoyment when I saw others ravishing the food which I cook. My thoughts are paused by stella voice who is working as a server in the mansion,

" Harshika.. Saratha madam is calling you."

I turned and looked at her with worried expression and asked her in nervous tone,

" Why ??. What happened ??. Did they complained anything regarding the breakfast I cooked ??. "

" No harshika. I do not feel like they called you to blame your cooking." She told me in assuring tone.

I nodded with smile and begin to walk towards dinning hall. Their dinning hall would be the size of our quarters. Even their dinning hall screaming their richness. Each and every things in their dinning hall would cost several lakhs. At the instant, I stepped into dinning hall, I saw grandma who is sitting in the head of dinning table. Noticing my presence, grandma looked at me with a smile. I smiled back cheekily and raised my hand to wave but I controlled my excitement and dropped my hand down quickly with the rememberance of others. Grandma treats me very kindly and affectionately unlike the others in the house. Everyday after the work, I would spend time with grandma to gossip about everyone. My glance moved to saratha madam who is naresh mother when she introduced to me a middle aged woman,

"Reka.. She is the one who cooked breakfast. Her name harshika. She is our chef."

I smiled politely as the way to agree with saratha madam words. The middle aged woman reka smiled while looking at me and appreciated my cook,

"Harshika.. The breakfast was outstanding. After a long time, I had fanastic and satisfying breakfast."

I smiled and thanked her and waited for their order to go kitchen. Reka and saratha madam begin to discuss something silently between them. As they were immersed in their discussion, I quickly glanced around the dinning hall to spot naresh but my bad luck naresh is not there. Grandma, reka and saratha madam only present in the dinning hall. Where is naresh ??. My searching and thoughts were interrupted by saratha madam announcement,

"Harshika.. Reka wants you to organize food preparation for naresh and tashvi marriage. You can do it right ??."

Before I could relieve from the shock which is caused due to saratha madam words, naresh came to the dinning hall with his childhood friend tashvi. I just blankly stared their interwined hands with broken heart. Is naresh going to marry his friend tashvi ??. Even I had doubt regarding her often visit to his mansion to meet him but I dismissed those doubts at the thought that she was just his friend. What would I do if he marry her ??. Didn't he love me ??. Will my love be a unrequited one as mama said ??. I stumbled back with tear filled eyes when he kissed her cheek. I understood that my love going be a unrequired one by seeing their proximity and lovey-dovey converse. As the result of stumble, my back leaned on the wall. The second I leaned against the wall, sudden force emitted from the wall and made me to fell to the floor. At the moment, I landed on the floor, a sob let out from my mouth in the pain as the result of unexpected fall. As I was inspecting my hand for any scratches caused by the fall, I heard a furious voice.

"Did you know that while walking, you have to use your eyes ??. Shit !!.. You spoiled my coat."

By hearing that sudden angry voice, I lifted up my head and saw enraged raghavan sir who is taking off his coat in anger. He shouted as he threw the coat towards his PA prasanth,

"Throw it away."

I felt insulted and ashamed due to his words and action. I tried get up from the floor as the thought of protecting myself from further humiliation, was predominant in my mind. As I was trying to get up from floor, I felt touch of my hand. Before I could see who was helping me to get up, I heard raghavan sir soft voice,

"Grandma.. Why you are helping her ??. Because of your soft nature, people like her will forget their worth and status."

I stand on my feets with the help of grandma and take out my hand from her grip and told her in low tone,

"Thank you grandma. I'm leaving."

Regardless of grandma attempt to talk to me, I walk away from them. When I got a little farther away from them, I heard his shouting,

" How dare she is to walk away without even asking sorry.. PRASANTH.. Fire her.. I shouldn't see her again in my house. I don't need an arrogant maid like her in my house."

I wiped my tears which is formed due to his insulting words. I swore to myself that I will never come to this mansion to work again and that I will come to this house as the daughter of law of this house. I came to their house just to achieve my love but I will never give up my self esteem to achieve love. I make naresh brother who insulted me, to come to my house to ask my hand for his brother marriage. I will do anything to get my love. I will not give up my love for anyone or anything. I will not hesitate to kill anyone in order to achieve my love.

No matter how much I cried, I couldn't able to relief from the pain which I felt in my heart. I joined as chef in his mansion for him. I changed myself for him. I changed my long hair into short curly hair as the way he like. Even I dyed my hair into pearly one according to his like. Due to the reason he don't like the person who wear spectacle, I stopped wearing spectacle and used contact lenses. I used it even though it was uncomfortable for me.

After knowing that he likes women who wear modern clothes, I start to wore modern clothes the way he like. Mama has advised me many times that the modern dress I wear is not looking good for me. I also know tight modern dress will not look good on me because of my over-weight. Still I wore it for him. Regardless of the acne that has developed on my face as a result of cosmetics, I continue to use for the sole reason that he likes it.

Even though I changed everything for him, one thing I could not able change to according to his wish is my overweight. I made several attempts to make my 80kg to 50kg but nothing worked out for me. I thought that he would not mind my overweight as I changed so many things of mine to be his favorite. But today he totally scattered everything. Eventhough he broken my embody, desire and dreams, I not give up my love. I will fix everything as before. I will stop his marriage with tashvi and made him to marry me. I will definitely do it.
