Chapter 3

Author's pov

"This looks nice " the girls said smiling a bit. She held the dress and stood in front of the mirror.

She put the dress infront of her and scrunched her nose checking herself in the mirror.

"How can I forget that green colour isn't my thing!!!" She said rolling her eyes.

She once again went to her closet and picked up a blue top and wore it. Then she came back to her room.

Looking in front of the mirror she smiled brightly and said ,"Perfect ".

"Jitni bhi kosis karle bandariya dikhti thi...bandariya hi rahegi (No matter how much you try, you look like a monkey...you will remain a monkey." She heard a voice and she knows who it is.

"Stop irritating me,Samar." She said.

"Kyun? sachchai chubhti hai?"(why ? Does truth sting?") Samar asked.

"I know that I am very beautiful...boys are mad about me. So you don't have to start your nonsense here...Please...just leave." She said.

"I came to remind you that Ms Shweta,you are late today.Today is Monday and if I go late,my boss will kill me....trust me I am not going to drop you to your office ." He said.

"You know nah I need to look perfect so it takes time...you will not understand....Wait wait wait...now I understand why you are making me rush....You are jealous as I look beautiful...which you are not. " Shweta said.

"Beautiful and me!!!!" Saying this Samar burst out laughing and said ,"Oh hello... I am handsome ... I don't want to be beautiful, you fool."

"Arrggg....whatever. Let's go." Shweta said and both went downstairs for breakfast.

"Where is Dhruv Bhai?" Shweta asked after she took her seat.

"Your bhai is in the kitchen and your Dhruti bhabhi is helping him." Her father,Dharam said smiling.

Then they saw both husband and wife coming out of the kitchen.

"Maa and Dhruv ,you guys sit...I am serving." Dhruti Said .

"No ,today I am gonna serve. " Saying Dhruv made both the ladies sit and started serving.

"Wow...what a taste!! Samar and Shweta, learn something from Dhruv. " Dharam said proudly, making others smile.

They had their breakfast while laughing and talking.

"Ok I am getting late...Let's go Shweta." Samar said to Shweta and left.

"Let's go." Samar as they settled down on Samar's bike .

She is Shweta Kapoor ,daughter of Dharam Kapoor and Shrestha Kapoor. She is working as a manager in a Malhotra Group of Companies. Her Father,Dharam Kapoor asked her to work in his own company but Shweta wanted to get a job with her own talent . So she chose to work here.

"We reached....listen after finishing your work just give me a call and I will pick you up from here." Samar said.

Shweta nodded and went inside.

"Hey babes" Puja ,Shweta's friend greeted her.

"Hey girl...What are you doing?" Shweta said.

"Nothing just work...work & work." Puja said, making Shweta chuckle.

"Now let's get back to work ,otherwise the boss will eat our head." Shweta said and got back to work.

At around 3 pm I decided to go outside and have lunch.

I went to my boss and asked for permission which he gave me luckily.

I went to the restaurant which was just 5 minutes away from our office.

Shaurya's pov

"So here is the presentation and thoughts for the very next project..." I finished the presentation.

"We are absolutely thrilled to work with you Mr.Shaurya..

We are impressed by this.... " one of the clients said.

I sighed in relief as soon as we signed the contract. Thank god!! Finally something good happened.

"Ayaan, I am leaving. I have to go somewhere. Did you do something about the advertisement of PA's post." I asked.

He nodded and started to tell me the details. We made our way outside the restaurant.

We were in the middle of our discussion when a voice stopped us and made me a little irritated.

"Shaurya....hey you here?"

We turned to see Shweta coming towards us.

"Sir, I think I should go.." Ayaan said. Before I could say anything to him he left from there.

"Hi...I was in a meeting. " I said.

"Oh ...let's go..we can have our lunch " she said.

"Oh no..I mean...I had my lunch with my clients. So I have to go now. " I said. I really don't want to get struck with her.

"Oh come on Shaurya, at least have some coffee or something. Come and you also promised me for a Date ...ummm sorry I mean an outing you know. SO..." Shweta said nervously.

Date!! Really!! When did I promise her about a 'date'?

I don't want to sound rude but to be honest , I don't feel like that for her .

Knowing everything still she is doing all these. What can I do now?

I passed a formal smile towards her and went inside with her.

We settled down and she ordered her food. I took a cold coffee and a chocolate cookie.

" So,how's everything going?" She asked.

"Everything is going very well. What about you?" I asked.

"Fine.." She said.

Then she said anything and everything about herself ,sometimes I think how she is different from Dhruv and Samar. They think about everyone around them ...especially Dhruv ,but Shweta is and always has been very self centric...full of herself.

Not only that but in many ways they are different.

They are siblings - it's hard to believe.

She stopped talking when the order came.

"Do you need anything else ,mam?" The waitress said who somehow looked a little nervous. She is 18 or 19...not more than that What if I had a sister ,she would have been like her.

I frowned and thought why she is working as a waitress at the age of studying in a college.

Shweta rolled her eyes and said loudly,"No..just leave." It actually sounded very rude.

The girl flinched and turned towards me and asked if I needed anything.

I smiled at her and said ,"No....Thank you Sweetheart.... "

She looked startled but smiled sweetly at me .

"If you don't mind can I ask you something?" I said.

"Sure Sir." She said.

"Why are you working here? I mean don't you have college?" I asked.

"Yes I do. My shift ends here at 3pm .Then I go to my college.

I study in an evening college so I will go to my college directly from here.. but why Sir?" She said.

This girl is very innocent, normally not everyone gives a reply like this freely to a stranger. You shouldn't reply like this to a stranger for your own good.

Her fidgeting with fingers, eyes say that she is innocent and nervous around people.

"No...nothing. Study well ok..What's your name?" I said.

"Megha Kulkarni, Sir." She said and left.

I looked at Shweta to see she was fuming in anger.

"What?" I asked.

"What was the need of talking so sweetly with that girl?" She asked.

"I talk like this with people ." I said.

"No...I mean she is just a waitress...so no need for it." She said, flipping her hair.

"Well ,Shweta, talking rudely with someone without any reason isn't my thing...maybe you are used to it. But I am not. It irritates me. And don't think I owe an explanation to anyone. " I said to her in a tone to make her stop the discussion.

See that's why she makes it difficult for me to talk properly with her without losing my cool.

"Anyways...I am getting late. Do you want to go or stay?" I asked her.

"No..let's go." She said.

I paid the bill and we went our own way.

Shweta's pov

Well...guess what!! The meeting with Shaurya didn't go well .

Currently I am sitting on my bed after dinner.

Suddenly my phone rang.

Puja : Hey Shweta ,how was the lunch date?

Shweta : Not a good man....it didn't end up on a good note.

Puja : Why?

I briefed her on what happened.

Puja : Oh man...you lost the chance of a good Romantic date.

Shweta: Romantic, like really!!! We aren't friends as well. I don't know how will make him realise my love for him?

Puja : Listen, I saw an advertisement in a newspaper that he is searching for a suitable PA for him.

Shweta: So what?

Puja : Why don't you give it a try? If you become his PA ,you will get a chance to be close to him and make him realise your love for him.

Shweta : But......

Puja : About your job..I told you just to give it a try....not to leave your current job. If it happens then it's good and if not then no problem, you will try for other ways.

Think about it...okay now bye. See you tomorrow.

I hung up the phone.

Let's give it a try. Puja is right...At Least I should try.

I slept with a smile on my face.

Here is our Shweta.

How's it?

Stay safe and healthy.
