Arpit's POVI couldn't sleep at night. In the morning, I got ready for the office. I had to meet Niharika and tell her about the conversation I had over the phone at night. I don't know how she would react but this is only what I could do. I cared for my family first, if she doesn't assure my family's security, I will resign. I made up my mind to resign amidst the turmoil and got ready for the office. I wore a black colored business suit and combed my unkempt hair.I had a peaceful breakfast with my mother. She sensed my tensions but she thought I was worried about our health. Little did she know, I had got an ultimatum of a storm. Looking at her face, I realized she wanted to question my worries and I was not interested in anything. I knew my answers would give her more tension which could be detrimental for her health, so I got up picking my bag and left. I hopped into the car and began my journey.While going to the office, on the way, I entered a lonely lane I

Niharika's POVI wondered what happened within a few minutes. "Was it even a serious proposal?", my heart enquired just to be sure."Yeah, it was certainly a real thing", my mind answered.His apology made me realize that it was my ego who kept this issue for long. I never thought about his point of getting distracted. I wondered how different things would have been if I had not punched him that day. We would have been good friends at least.I had been craving his 'I love you' for the last fifteen years. I wanted to jump in joy.I planned to play along. After all, he was distracted by me, he loved me and he chose his career. I really appreciate his choice because love cannot buy necessities of life but he took so long to confess. If he would have not applied for my company, we would have never met and he would have never confessed. These practical thoughts ran in my mind only to make me strong enough to play along.I remembered the moment when he

Niharika's POVYash is indeed a stressbuster. As soon as he came in, he asked me in his kiddish voice making an innocent face. "When will I see mumma? Uncle is not taking me home. Please take me home."His innocent eyes and puppy face made me feel relaxed. I knew I had to inform his uncle about his whereabouts but before that I wanted to talk to him."Hey, what's your name, cutie-pie?" I asked."My name is Yash." He answered confidently despite us meeting for the first time."How was your day today?" I asked him directly on point. I expected him to reveal details of whatever he suffered today."Auntie, I painted a scenery at school. I danced in the class. Our annual function is coming up. Practices are really hectic." He said, making a sad face and I wondered what he has in his store. He continued making a disgusting face, "Then, my friend fought with me over my new pencil. He wanted that but I didn't give him." I wanted to stop his blabber becaus

Niharika's POVI was a bit relaxed at how the situation ended but I was worried about Sapna and Niyati. Whatever they did to me was utterly wrong but still they were wounded and I didn't even know how they were doing.I called Mr. Bose made sure to provide as much evidence as possible to make sure that Vikram Walia does not come out on bail. I wanted him in jail for a long time. Thankfully, I was able to provide evidence against him. My last minute idea of a spy camera was indeed effective.I asked my driver to drive me to the hospital where both of the girls were taken as I hopped in the car.I checked my emails only to find a list of people who claimed that they got allergies with my product as sent by Raghav. I wanted to make it sure that they were safe and they didn't get any allergies. If anyone has got any kind of problem, I decided to take my product down from the market, no matters, it was my loss. I was sure it was safe but still wanted to make sure.

Arpit's POVI had prepared the proposal and rushed to the office today only to find Niharika was not in the office today and the meeting was postponed. I was irritated with the unprofessional attitude as I hadn't received any email regarding this. I realized it was something to do with business rivalry and my doubt was clarified when there was a grapevine discussing the issue.I checked the news blogs in my smartphone only to realize that her business rival, Vikram Walia was arrested. I searched the internet and was shocked to know the whole situation she had been dealing with.The fiery tigress was handling many things at a time.
