Please don't be mad for this slow update.... Sorryyyyy ❤️

Trisha POV

The taxi reached its destination finally. I have made so many prayers in 30 minutes even though I don't know. Finally, I paid the driver and throw a look at my watch it is 9:45 am still a good time. I was just grateful for the fact that I am not late. I look at the building it's a big glass building and the top 4 floors are of NN Designs. I took a deep breath and went to the lift after making one last prayer that everything will go fine.

I reached the destined floor. The floor area of Italian marble, and artistic and antique pieces are kept in the lobby and there was one thread wall of multiple colors. ally a very artistic lobby for an office. It has a feel-good factor as everything is bright and colorful.

I walked toward the receptionist and asked about my appointment with Ms. Natasha. Everything is on time I just sat in the waiting area.

"Hello, for interview" a deep voice caught my attention. I looked in the direction of the voice. A handsome man in a navy blue suit with hazel eyes in his late 20s looking at me in confusion and waiting for my answer.

"Yes! Are you also waiting for an interview?" I asked out of curiosity as he don't has any file in his hand. So, was difficult to judge.

"Yeah, kind of" casually he answered and sat beside me.

"Well do you know the lady boss here is cruela..." he said

" What????" I got confused.

"Yes, beware before saying anything she is very judgmental and arrogant and I am just saying from my experience...."

" But how do you know her? You are here for inter....." My sentence got cut by the receptionist

"Trisha Roy.."

"Yeah that's me"

"You can Go inside now Maam is calling for you.." she said with a smile

I stand up from the and was fixing my dress and arranging my file to go inside.

"Well, a scarf is missing in your attire to be precise indigo one...All the best", the mysterious man commented caught me off guard with it...I gave him a confusing smile and took a deep breath and went inside. I hope everything will go well... I pushed the glass door and ask permission to come in.

"Yes come in" A firm voice welcomed me inside.

I saw a beautiful woman in her mid 20's sitting on the chair in a beautiful shirt dress. Her face glows like stars and she has a very professional and positive aura around herself. She signals me to sit. I sat in front of her keeping my files on my lap and waiting for her questions after greeting her.

" Hi Trisha Roy, right?"

"Yes ma'am"

" Well, I am Natasha the partial owner of this company. So you are NIFT pass out I believe and you used to run your boutique in Delhi. Why did you shut it down? "

Now, what should I tell her why did I shut it down? I can't tell her about Sid and all.

"Yes ma'am, Well ma'am there were some personal issues due to which I had to shut it down but it was doing well at that time."

"Ok, no problem well I have gone through your profile and portfolio. I like your designs and I think you can add value to the team so yeah we would like to have you onboard."

Her words bring out a small smile on my face. Finally, now I won't be dependent on Ved and can pay my bills by doing what I love to do.

"Trisha as we mostly work for runway looks and red carpet looks and we are having a show next 2 months and it's huge as it is companies 5th anniversary also. I want you to assist with that assignment. You will work with the senior designer of the company Mr. Nilesh. Your salary and all formalities will be done by our HR. Meet HR later on"

I nodded sincerely. As her extension rang.

Yeah, send him in.

"Nilesh is here let me introduce you to him," she said smiling.

"Hello girls..." the same deep voice echoed in my ears.

"You...." I stuttered a little.

"Do you met each other?" Natasha asked.

"Not officially. She was waiting outside for the interview and I suggested an indigo scarf and maybe I have said some words of compliments about you my boss." he winked while looking at me.

"Well! I know what you would have said about me. Trisha meets Nilesh, he is the head designer of the firm, half-owner of the firm, and my elder brother. And you are going to work with him for the upcoming fashion show as I told you earlier" Natasha said.

I was taken aback by her words a little.

" Hello, sir.." I said in hurry.

" Well, no need to say me sir and Nilesh is fine. And I don't like beautiful girls calling me sir." he smiled and winked at me.

I give him a forced smile. It was a lot to handle in 2 min span.

" Bhai stop teasing her. Don't mind Trisha he is like this only but he won't trouble u and he is harmless". Natasha smiled and said.

" Shall we go, madam, I was here to inquire about my new intern. I will give you a nice tour of the company and warehouse and will have your wonderful company too." He smiled in a very charming manner.

I reciprocated the smile and move towards him and left the cabin.

This guy is weird! I mentally make a note. As the day passed by I understood and explored the company and all the processes of designing manufacturing, modeling, photoshoots, catalog, etc. It was a tiring day but Nilesh's jokes made it bearable. I hope to have a wonderful time here at NN designs.

I bid my goodbyes at the office and took a cab for the apartment just can't refer to that as my home. I feel suffocated there. As I try to have a nice day at the office but I am aware that the harsh reality of my traitor friend and so call my husband is enough to make my blood boil. While getting back to the forbidden apartment which I am forced to share with the traitor himself the whole day's good vibes got tarnished. But I just want to concentrate on the good rather than sulking over the undeniable bad aspects of my life. I just hope this job will bring a little positivity into my life which is rarely left in me. All I wanted was to die after dad's death and this marriage but only my mom is the driving force for me to carry on with this burdened life. I just hate this. I hate Ved, my fate, and this world which snatches every important thing from me either is it sid, my dad, or my best friend Ved. He is just a stranger now and even I can't even recognize him. He broke the promise of never smoking with me and this was not him. I don't care what he does but it does hurt me deep within to see the change in people and how everything and everyone changes even Khushi. My train of thought comes to end when can stop I paid the driver and go up. The door was open and the apartment smelled of heaven with the aroma of mouth-watering biryani. Well Ved is a good cook can't take away that from it and I was so mad about this biryani he used to cook.

Flashback

"Now you came from the hostel you are going to make my favorite biryani. You know I didn't have outside biryani throughout the year because I love yours." I said pouting my lips.

"Beta he just came today let him rest at least a day...you should cook something for him today," mom says.

"Mumma I already waited for this biryani for almost 1.2 years and now I am not going to wait for another day. That's final and I know Bed won't disappoint me." I smiled at Ved.

" Aunty don't worry I will cook and I am not that tired too so no problem," Ved said smiling at me.

"Have you heard mom I am there to help him so don't worry," I said excitedly.

"Do as you guys want when you both have listened to me. Just don't make my kitchen dirty." mom left with a defeated expression and we smiled at each other.

"Madam if I am going to make biryani you are going to bake the Choco cupcakes... you know the deal " Ved said while raising his left eyebrows.

"Yeah yeah I know I have already done the preps, my boy! " And we smiled in unison.

Baking and cooking together we had the most enjoyable time together

Present

The smell brings back all the memories together of my lovable friend which I lost and the betrayal is in front of me as my husband now.

"How was your day today? I thought of making biryani today as it was your special day and I want you to be happy!" the killer of my best friend said to me.

I don't know when tears make their way from my eyes and my eyes become blurry.

"Why don't you give me poison Vedant rather than cooking this biryani? You are polluting the memories of my best friend. Don't do this. I have a few memories that don't snatch from me or make it unbearable for me. There was a time when I used to wait years for this smell and now it suffocates me, I can't bear it I just can't."

I can see wetness in his eyes but I can't see that, just I can't...I just want to run away from this aroma, run away from this smell, run away from the old memories with the same man...which was so precious to me...I left the apartment my heart was pounding fast my eyes were throwing that salty solution...

"Why God Why...Why are you making my life so difficult?" I threw my bag ,went to the terrace and cry out loud...
