SHREYA'S POV

I was in my sweet dreams and the song 'Love you Zindagi' was playing in the background.

Although I love this song but at this time I was getting irritated because it was ringing again and again. So I decided to open my eyes to stop that dream there and to start with a new one.

Am I still in the dream because the song has not stopped yet?

"Oh No!" This is my phone's ringtone. I sat up immediately.
Shreya, tu pagal hi hai sachme ( Shreya, you are really mad) I scolded myself
Hehe....sorry, I was in sleep. I replied to myself.

I know I am weird but who cares.

I took my phone and there were 8 missed calls from Mumma. Oh no, I am gone. I didn't call her last night as I got late and thought that she might be sleeping.

Last night incident pope up to my mind. We were so close yesterday that it was not good for a boss and assistant relationship. I don't know when I went so close to him. I always do something that makes me embarrassed in front of him. I was looking deep into his eyes to get something out of him but there was nothing except emptiness.It feels like there is something incomplete in him.There was no liveliness or spark in them.

I was looking so deep into his eyes that I forgot our faces were just inches apart. His breaths were fanning my face. When I came to senses I made a one hand distance from him.

'Aane do aane do Dil m aa Jane do, keh do muskurahat ko hi hi'. My phone was ringing again!

"Hello Mumma"

"What hello, where were you? Your phone was out of reach last night and you too didn't bother to call me. Do you even know how much tensed I was? You don't care about me. "

"Ma.. calm down. I am fine. Take a deep breath. You know you have a problem with high blood pressure. Actually, I got late yesterday, so I didn't think it is right to disturb you".

" But you could at least give a missed call to check if I am sleeping or not. I was having so many negative thoughts beta. How are you? Have you eaten something? When will you reach home?"

"Oh mumma calm down. I am sorry. I am fine and I will return tomorrow".

I told her the reason and talked with her for 15 minutes to console and convinve her not to get hyper.

The person who can't live without me even for 1 day, wants me to get married as soon as possible. Huh.

After putting the call off I opened my WhatsApp to look at my messages. There was a time when Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, Wattpad were my constant mates. And now I am not able to see even my WhatsApp messages

There were many messages from Ansh bhaiya, Rahul, Neha, and my college friends.

I opened Ansh bhaiya's chatbox ignoring others'

Ansh bhaiya : 'Kitna soega bacha ab uth ja'( how much will you sleep, now just wake up).

Shreya: 'Good morning bhaiya'

Ansh bhaiya: 'Good morning chutku, how is everything going?"

Shreya: 'Everything is fine, you say how is my champ doing?'

Ansh bhaiya: 'He is a copy of you in mischievousness'

Shreya: 'Haha. I will meet him soon and teach him different ways to annoy his father.'

Ansh bhaiya: 'Then I am not letting my child play with you.'

Shreya: 'Oh hello! I have equal rights on him. After all, I am his bua (Aunty)'

Ansh bhaiya: 'oh yeah! So when are you going on Mumbai darshan ( tour )?'

Shreya: 'How could I? I was here for official work you know'

Ansh bhaiya: 'Today is Sunday and I don't think that you will have some work for today. Just enjoy your day bacha. You don't know when you will get this chance again'

Shreya: 'Ok bhaiya...I will see that..bye take care'

Ansh bhaiya: 'Bye chutku, take care'

I put my phone aside because I was not in the mood to chat with anybody.

Hmm...bhaiya is right. I should go around to see this sapno ka sheher (city of dreams). But first, let me make sure from kukkad that I have nothing to do for today.

I looked at the watch and it says 8:00 AM. Bss? I woke up so early today.

I left my bed and roamed my fingers in my hair and went straight to the kukkad's room that was on the right side of my room.

Knock knock

No reply

Knock knock

Again, no reply!

I slowly opened the door and peeped in.

There was no one to found.

I went in. The moment I entered the room, the devil came outside the bathroom in all his glory.

Holy moly!!

He was wearing nothing except a towel that was wrapped around his torso. His six-packs were in full view for my innocent eyes and his body was glistening with water. Few droplets were falling from his hair to his shoulders and then slowly moving towards his chest.

"Liked what you see?" He asked in a teasing tone and with one of his eyebrow up.

I came into my senses and immediately turned around to bang my head with the door.

Oh Mummaaa! it hurts.

"Why were you here because I think you can play dandiya with your head and door in your room too".

Oh God, I forgot why was I here?

" Ummm....actually"

"Actually What? How could you enter my room without even knocking? What if I was not wearing this towel too?"

I was feeling heat outflow from my cheeks and ears. I am 100% sure that my checks have converted into tomato that too of a dark red color.

I was totally blank at the moment and forgot my purpose. Shreya how could you do this.

"You can turn around"

I was standing there like a statue

"I said turn around. Don't waste my time". He ordered

I slowly turned around with my eyes tightly shut and opened my eyes. He was wearing a t-shirt now.

Thank God!

" Should I give a Shahrukh Khan pose to make my view more enjoyable to you or would you say something?"

'For your kind information I am neither interested in your shahrukh khan pose nor you'.
I wanted to say this but was not able to as my mind and lips were not working together.

"I....I was asking that Do I have any work for today?" I asked him not looking directly into his eyes.

"Work, Why?"

"Umm....actually I was thinking to go on a tour of Mumbai," I told him.

"Tour? With whom?"

"Alone"

"Alone..hmm...Are you familiar with roads and places?" He asked in a serious tone.

"No"

"Do you even know how busy this city is? This is not your Mathura. If you got lost somewhere then someone will admit you in an orphanage".

" Orphanage?" I asked because I didn't get the sense of his words.

"Yups, what else a man would do with a girl out of sympathy who is looking like a teenager all alone in the middle of the road ?"

How dare he. I hate him.

I just want to punch his face like right now.

"And if this happens then you would not be able to attend today's party and there is a chance of losing the contract. So no you are not going anywhere, just sit in your room like a good girl" How could he order me like this.

" I am not a bacchi (kid). I can go by myself and I will"

I can burst from anger anytime now.

"I am telling you to do something which you have to comply with, because you know who is the boss here."

"My will is the boss here and I will do whatever I want. Today is Sunday and you are not my boss for the day so you can not order me like this."

I don't know why I was here in the first place. I should have gone without taking his permission.

I walked out of the room in anger while muttering this and closed the door with a loud thud.

"I will cut your salary if I got charged for the damaged door". He screamed from the room.

I JUST HATE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!
