Aashima's POV:-
It's been a month since I joined the company and it is going all good. I made new friends which are really good and caring. Arjun Sir is really nice and he really has helping nature, I don't understand why people are afraid of him and how can people call such a nice person a devil.

Phone rings .... ''Hello, how can I help you sir?'' I asked.

''Arrange my meeting with Mr . Raghveer Singh. After arranging my meeting with him come into my cabin.'' Arjun said.

''Yes sir.'' I said.

I arranged his meeting with Mr. Singh and I went towards his cabin.

I knocked on the door of his cabin.

''Yes sir, you called me.'' I said.

''Yes, I called you. I will need you with me when I will go for the meeting. You okay about it?'' He said.  

''Yes sir, sure.'' I replied.

''Good. You can go now, we will leave after an hour.'' He said.

I nodded my head and left from there.

AUTHOR'S POV:-
AFTER THE MEETING:-

"Aashima I'm feeling very hungry, let's go to some nice restaurant and have lunch.'' Arjun said. 

''Sure sir.'' Aashima said.

Then they went to Taj Palace restaurant.

INSIDE THE RESTAURANT:-

AASHIMA'S POV:-

Arjun Sir took me to the Taj Palace restaurant. It was such a beautiful place, I have never seen such a good looking restaurant before. I used to go to the local hotel which was having good taste food but it didn't have any expensive-looking interior. It was a warm and quiet place. I have always dreamed about such restaurants but I didn't know that in my life I will ever come to such a restaurant. I have gone to a hotel once which was having a quite high price of dishes as Neil insisted me a lot. I have a wish that once in my life that I should order dishes without even looking at price. 

''What will you eat?'' Arjun sir said breaking my chains of thought.

''Anything will be okay for me.'' I said.

''Okay. So waiter bring chicken biryani, paneer tikka masala, chhole bhature, aaloo paratha, red wine.'' Arjun sir ordered. [All are Indian dishes and let me tell you those are all just awesome. Ahh, my mouth is watering now. I am such a foodie.]

Are we going to eat these many dishes? I mean how can we eat these much.

Food came and my God the aroma of it was so good, it was looking so perfect.

My stomach growled and I looked down in shame.

Arjun sir looked at me and gave me a gentle smile and he served me and indicated me to eat.

We started to eat and we started to talk. In no time we finished it all, I guess we were really too hungry.

His phone ringed and he received it.

''Oh my god, its been 5 hours. I didn't even knew when time passed this fast. I think we really had a good talk because I don't talk this much.'' He said.

''It has really been 5 hours, oh no Neil must be worrying about me. I should go now.'' I said worridly.

''Let me drop you at your house.'' He said.

''No, its fine. I will go at my own I will book a cab. I said and grabbed my purse and phone.

''Its late Aashima, I will drop you. Now don't be stubborn and don't forget I am your boss. What kind of employee are you who don't listen to their boss?'' He said.

''I... sir... ok sir.'' I said.

''Go out and wait for me. I will be back in few minutes.'' He said.

I nodded my head and went out.

While going out I bumped into someone. I looked up and was thrilled to see mother. She looked at me with disgust. 

''You bitch, don't you know to walk properly. Have you gone blind or what?'' She said with anger.

''Sorry mother. How are you by the way? I missed you.'' I said.

''How dare you call me mother? Who gave you right to call me mother? And what did you said how am I? How can I be after you killed my daughter? I know I was never loving to you but I didn't hurted you in any way but why did you killed my own daughter? Did you killed my daughter just because I wasn't loving to you, you took out your anger on my loving daughter. You psycho woman.'' She said with all the hatred she had for me in her heart.

''I didn't killed her mother. Why would I kill my Shona? Why don't you just believe me?'' I said with tear in my eyes.

A hand come on my shoulder. I looked back to see who it was and it was Arjun sir.

''Stop your fake tears, it will not effect me you know why because I know your true face. You still haven't stopped whorring around with rich and handsome young man. You are such a slut, going around fucking men and giving them pleasure just for money. You are really such a good seductress.'' She looked at me and then at him.

''Hey, you woman stop your filthy tongue. How dare you talk such thing to Aashima?'' He yelled at her.

I pleaded him to stop through my eyes, I know what mother said is wrong but after all she is my mother. She can say me anything, she can curse me, she can even call me a whore. But I can't take someone talking bad about her.

''How dare I? I am unfortunately mother of this fucking slut. Well you, how can you fall in her trap? You look intelligent and you are good looking, what did she do to make you fall for such a whore? Did she warmed your bed?'' She said.

I was disgusted at myself. This is what she all think about me? I feel like to kill my self at the moment, I felt like the earth should swallow me down.

''You are her mother, then tell  me how can a mother say such a thing about her own daughter?'' He said.  

''I am her stepmother.'' She said.

After saying that she left from there. I fell on the ground and started to cry my heart out.

ARJUN'S POV:-

I was feeling really bad about her. After her mother left Aashima fell down on the ground and started to cry. I hold her by her shoulder and made her stand up. She hugged me and started to cry her heart out. I took her in my arms and started to console her. Saying sweet things into her ear so that she would stop crying. I felt like I could do this all night, I was feeling good that time as she was in my arms. I felt to protect her from the world. I will kill each and every person who will make my Aashima cry.

What did I just said my Aashima?

When  did I started to feel such kind of thing for a girl?

I shooked away those thoughts from my mind as its not good to feel such thing.

''I am sorry sir, I made your shirt wet. I am so sorry.'' She said.

''No its fine.'' I said.

I gave her my handkercheif. She took it from my hand.

''Let's go now.'' I said.

I took her to her house. She went inside. I was looking at her and was thinking why did I was feeling different when she was in arms?
