####PAST WILL BE IN ITALIC FONT AND PRESENT WILL BE IN NORMAL FONT####

*Jiya Pov*

When I walked outside the room, I saw few bouquets being placed in the living room. I frowned and walked downstairs to see words 'Happy anniversary' on each one of them.

"Today is Madam and Sir's anniversary." Lakshmi Kaki said walking towards me.

"Oh!" I mumbled and walked away from them.

I reached his office room and saw it empty. I frowned and sat at the table to begin working.

I started taking calls not allowing a single memory to enter my mind. I took a deep breath and was successful in stopping the memory.

But when he entered the room and sat at his desk, I couldn't help it anymore.

"Happy anniversary!" I whispered in his ear when the clock strike 12.

"Shut up and sleep, Jiya." He said using the same harsh tone which he was using for the last one month.

"What happened to you Ajay? This is the happiest day in our lives, and we should celebrate." I said, removing the blanket from his face.

"I didn't remember this day." He said, and I smiled.

"It's ok! I actually don't mind whether you remember it or not." I said kissing his cheek.

"What is this nonsense at this time of day?" he shouted and I frowned.

"Ajay! Is business, having a bad time? You are acting really different from the past one month." I said frowning.

"How else should I act? Do I have to smile at every second looking at you? Do I just have to tell my love every second? And do I have to follow you like a puppy?" he shouted, getting up from the bed.

"Ajay!" I whispered in complete shock.

"Yes! You want all this from me, and it is already one year, so grow up." He said leaving the room, and I just sat there stunned.

I walked towards the living room after a few minutes to see him sleeping on the couch. I sighed and placed a blanket over him before walking inside the kitchen to put the cake back in the fridge.

In the morning, I opened my eyes to see him getting ready. I got up from our bed and walked towards him slowly.

I placed my lips on his without giving a second to say anything, and kissed him telling my love.

He kissed me back, holding me tightly, and I held him in the same way. In some kind of urgency, he started pestering kisses and then removed his tie and then the shirt.

He pushed me on the bed and made love to me. I snuggled closer to him after that with a smile on my face.

"I shouldn't have shouted at you." He whispered.

"It's ok! And I will forgive you if you reach our favorite restaurant by evening." I whispered back.

"I will be busy." He said getting up.

"I will be waiting. And be there at 7 please." I pleaded a few times and drifted off into sleep.

I woke up and got ready to finish all the remaining preparations. I called my relatives, my family and then my friends for the party in the evening.

By 7, everyone reached and I talked to each one of them. My friends looked surprised to see me in some Saree and being in charge of everything along with my Mom.

I called him after 8 but he didn't lift my call at all. I frowned and looked around to see everyone looking at their watches and frowning.

"Please have some dinner." I said making them have food, and I continued to call him.

I called the office phone, but no one lifted it. Everyone started leaving one after the other after dinner, but I just continued to call him controlling my tears.

I gripped the table and glanced at the looks my relatives giving me. I thanked all of them for coming, and they left one after the other.

"What is this Jiya? He should have at least come by now. It is 9 already." Mom said, shaking her head.

"Is there any problem?" Dad asked frowning.

"No! You both too can leave." I replied wanting no one near me at present.

I paid the bill and reached our home. I walked inside to see him watching the television.

"Ajay! You are here? I have been calling you." I said sitting beside him.

"My phone is in silent mode." He said and continued to watch.

"Did you forget about the surprise?" I asked him, frowning.

"No! But I didn't have the mood to go outside after returning home, so I stayed here." He replied shrugging.

I controlled my tears and walked inside our room. I lay on our bed and cried into the pillow. I don't know why but I couldn't forget the looks everyone gave me.

He doesn't know about them, so I can't blame him, but it is really hurting. I drifted off into sleep still crying.

Please god! Whatever it is, take away all the problems he is facing in his life...

"Jiya!" I felt someone shaking me, and I glanced up to see Mr.Mehra staring at me frowning.

"Yes Sir?" I asked him, frowning back.

"The house will be packed with few guests now for lunch. So we will go to the office and work." He replied, and I nodded.

Within some time, we reached the office and everyone looked at him with respect making me grip the bag tightly.

One thing I found out are many people are similar like in Mumbai branch. There are people of Ms.Rose category and then Mr.Raj category and also Ms.Malathi.

I called him in the lunch break and said, "Hello!"

"Am I imagining this? Is Ms.Jiya really calling me?" He asked.

"I think you 're imagining. I will hang up." I replied.

"No, no! How are you Ms.Jiya?" He asked.

"I am fine, Mr.Raj. What about you?" I asked him.

"Missing you badly." He replied, and I raised my eyebrow.

"Well, I am also missing definitely not you." I said, shaking my head and heard someone clearing their throat.

I glanced up to see Mr.Mehra is standing there folding his arms over his chest.

"I will call you later, Mr.Raj." I said hanging up.

"Is there any detail you needed from the Mumbai branch?" he asked.

"No, Sir." I replied.

"Then why are you calling, Mr.Raj?" he asked frowning.

"As this is the lunch break, I am talking to my friend Sir. Do you need anything, Sir?" I asked him, and he shook his head.

"We are going for lunch." He said.

"I can eat here, Sir." I said and he nodded, walking back inside his cabin.

I sighed and walked inside canteen overlooking everyone. I had my lunch and walked back towards my table to see him leaning on it.

"Yes, Sir?" I asked him.

"We are returning home. I am hungry." He replied.

"I had my lunch." I said sighing.

"Well, I didn't." he whispered and I nodded, walking downstairs with him.

"Here!" He said, and I turned to see him taking out a small rose from his coat.

"What for, Sir?" I asked him frowning.

"I just wanted to give it to you, Jiya. You love flowers right and that too roses." He replied smiling.

"I hate them." I mumbled, looking away and he didn't say anything as we reached his house.

"We can't work for the whole evening. Do you want to go somewhere?" He asked when we walked inside.

"I would like to sleep, Sir." I replied.

"There are good parks near to the house." He said, and I turned to see his mother walking near him along with his Dad.

"I am allergic to parks, Sir." I said, nodding and was about to turn.

"Allergic to the parks?" Madam asked confused.

"Yes Madam! I hate the smell of the senseless flowers and then the plants which grow them. The land where everyone walks with their families and lovers and then the benches where they take a rest." I replied and walked towards my room.
