Preeta was annoyingly banging her things on table, on couch, everywhere. Also she was murmuring to herself.

Preeta : hai kaisa insaan yeh, kabhi flirt, kabhi khadoos, kabhi ekdum hi bossy, kabhi coolie.. (mimics) use abhi shift karwaao. Itna sab hai, magar bas insaan hi nahi hai huhh....pata nahi Kya ho Gaya....

There landed a knock on door. She turn and saw Karan standing, leaning to door. She raised her one eye brow

Preeta : (in mind) ab Kya musibat dene aaya hai.

Preeta : (extra sweetly) yes sir.... Any special work, Jo aapne yaha tak aane ka kasht kiya (over smiling)

Karan : (looking here and there) kasht.... Kaun liya, Kya tumne mere baare me kaha ?

Preeta : (in mind) nahi, Jo yaha mere saamne 10-12 bhoot khade hai na, unhse kaha.

Preeta : (smiling) of course sir, aap ke alaawa hai hi na kaun yaha.

She fake a laugh.

Karan : haha....yes, By the way, Mera cabin to yahi saamne hi hai, to Mai Kyu kasht lunga.

Preeta shockingly sneak out of door, standing there only. The she realized, her cabin was adjacent actually in front of karan's cabin. She then again look him.

Karan : (smirks) what... Aise Kyu dekh Rahi ho.

Preeta : no.. nothing... (Nervously) sir can I get back....to my work ?

Karan : ya sure.

Karan then leaves from there, while sighing Preeta resume her works.

Karan : (outside, in mind) pagal hai, pagal Puri sachme. Ise laga mujhe Kya samajh me nahi aaya Jo isne socha man me mere baare me.. (laughs a bit)

He went.

Preeta : (to herself) ye insaan na, mujhe sachme pagal Kar dega. Pehle laga ek number ka flirt hai, fir laga accha hai, fir lag Raha hai flirt hai. Kya hoga Mera yaha... Huhhhh

She jerked her thoughts, and continued to set her cabin.

After sometimes, it was lunch time.

Lunch time just started and as it's preeta's first day, she was not having any more works.

Preeta : (in mind) Kyu na aisa karu ki sabse milti hu. Ha koi new friends bhi ban jaayenge.

She went out from cabin and roam sometime here and there. She scanned the whole office actually. She was walking like that only. A voice came from behind.

Samantha : hey new joiner..

Preeta turn and found the girl call her only. She goes to her.

Preeta : (smiling) hi...

Samantha : hi... You are new na today (she nod) I am Samantha... Samantha chaudry.

Samantha forward her hands to shake.

Preeta : (shaking hand) hii I am Preeta Arora. Nice to meet you.

Samantha : to you too. Let me introduce you to another friend of mine. (Calling riya) Rhea....Rhea.. come here.

On hearing her, Rhea came to Samantha.

Rhea : what happened, Kyu aise bula Rahi hai.

Samantha : are yeh new hai office me. Meet her Preeta Arora, and Preeta she is my good friend Rhea Arora.

Preeta : ohh...nice to meet you too as well.

Rhea : same here, and welcome here. Hope tumhaara experience accha ho yaha

Samantha and Rhea laughs. While Preeta didn't react.

Samantha : accha waise Preeta, ab tum bhi batao tumhaara first day hai to tumhe Karan sir kaise lage ?

Preeta : (confused) means ??

Rhea : means, tumhe kitne hot lage, kitne dashing and handsome lage, aur tum unme kitni interested Hui.

Preeta become shocked listening it.

Preeta : excuse me, aisa kuch nahi laga mujhe,and why you are asking like that.

Samantha : are preeta, pata hai ham log yaha almost sabse puraane hai, and new-new yaha sabhi ladkiya aisa hi bolti hai, aisa kuch nahi hai and all. But yaha saari ladkiya Karan sir ki hi deewani hai.

Rhea : (dreaming) ha after all mere karan sir hai hi aise (smiling)

Samantha : (dreaming) itne charming and rich at the same time. Har ladki ka dream prince.. hayeeee....

Preeta got disappointed by them.

Samantha : and ha Preeta tum bhi Karan sir ke charms ki fan ho jaaogi na, to hamare saath aa jaana, ham sab saath me dreaming karte hai..... (Laughs)

Rhea : ha sachme, uski body, abs, hayee, imagine karne me hi jaan nikal jaati hai.

Preeta : excuse me girls, actually I am starving, so I have to do my lunch. Will meet later. Bye

Samantha/Rhea : ok bye..

Preeta immediately left from there and went in her cabin.

Preeta : (sitting on chair) oh god, such a filthy mind they are having. Itna cheap bhi koi kaise soch sakta hai...huhhhhh

Karan entered in her cabin.

Karan : hey Miss. Whatever, yahi baithi ho.

Preeta : to sir abhi world tour par jaau Mai.

Karan : ha chali jaao, isi bahane world population to Kam ho jaayegi, tumhe dekhkar insaan khud hi mar jaayega.

Preeta nod her head in no, and not replied anything.

Karan : waise seriously, yaha ke employes se mili nahi, kisi ko friend bana leti, chit chat karti, baahar jaakar.

Preeta : sir Mai mili kuch logo se, but I am not interested in making any one friend, Meri ek friend hai, and she is more than anyone.

Karan : oh...waise, kisse baat Hui.

Preeta : Samantha and Rhea.

Karan : ohh...kaise lagi wo log tumhe nature me.

Preeta : (in mind) ek number ki ghatiya, nihaayati besharam, third class aur pata nahi Kya Kya...

Karan : (snapping fingers in front of her) oh hello, miss kaha kho gai...

Preeta : (coming in sense) ha...yes sir...nahi kahi nahi, bas aise hi, mujhe nahi pata wo log kaise hai, Meri zyaada baat nahi Hui.

Karan : fine... Mai to bas yahi puchne aaya tha, that you are comfortable here ?

Preeta : yes sir, I am so comfortable.. (smiles)

Karan also return a smile and went into his cabin.

Unknown to both of them, someone heard all their's talk and was seeing them suspiciously. He was in deep thoughts, and decided to do something.

After a good with little word day, Preeta was a bit tired and Karan was hell tired.

It was time to leave. Karan went to preeta.

Karan : (coming in) Preeta, you are going na, hope tumhaare saare works ho Gaye hai.

Preeta : yes sir, wo files Maine complete kardi hai.

Karan : good, accha suno mujhe tumse kaam hai. Actually Mera ek project work hai, so I want your help in that. Actually wo project jab tum nahi thi tab mujhe assign hua tha, so tum Mana Kar sakti ho. But ab tum bhi yaha ki member ho to help bhi Kar sakti ho, lekin I am......

Preeta : (interrupting him) sir......

Karan : (he stopped his useless talks) ha bolo.

Preeta : sir Mai aapki help zaroor kar dungi, us project me. Aapko itna sochne ki zaroorat nahi hai, now I am also a part of this so...

Karan : (nodding his head) ok.. thanks and mere Ghar par karna hai, to tum Kal aa sakti ho..

Preeta : (thinking)......wo....

Karan : oh hello madam, I am having my parents and sister as well at my house.

Preeta : (widened her eyes) to Maine kab kuch kaha, mujhe to time puchna tha.

Karan : ha ok... Aa Jana 9:00 a.m. Tak, and we will go by lunch time at office.

Preeta : fine... Sir can I go ?

Karan : yes sure..

Preeta get up to go, she open the door to go.

Karan : (stopping her) Preeta, can I drop you ?

Preeta : thank you sir, but I will go.

Karan : sure...

Preeta : sure. Thanks once again.

Preeta finally went from there. Karan was standing there only. He took a deep breath.

Karan : huhhh..... Kuch bhi kaho, yeh ladki hai sachme sabse alag. Ek minute...ek minute.... Karan itna mat soch us mental ke baare me, ladaku bhi sabse zyaada hai. Chal ab tu bhi nikal Ghar.

He also went for home.
