Kabir had no idea on how to wake her up. He had this immediate urge to pour water on her but since she was sleeping on the files, he realized it would spoil his own work too and he certainly didn't want that.

He shook her a little, she didn't budge.

At last he went close to her face near her ears and almost shouted, "Myraaa"

She got up with a jolt. She saw Kabir standing right infront of her, she looked around and saw everyone had already left and then murmured to herself, "Inhuman Human! "

"I heard that by the way." he said offensively.

"Good for you." she replied at once.
"I'm on the last page. I'll just complete and.. "

"No need. It's already very late." he closed her files much to her annoyance.

"I want to complete it. I don't like to leave my work in between." she said and took back her files.

"Oh.! You learned this habit of not leaving things in between. Impressive!" he said sarcastically.

Myra chose not to comment on his Scornful remark as she very well knew he was just trying to test her patience and she could even explode for the worse right now but it wasn't the right time.

"Anyways if you really want to stay, then stay with the mindset of spending your night alone over here as i am going to lock the office and go out." he told her straight and even before he could finish, she already started packing her things quietly much to his surprise.

It was actually very late and she was sure of not getting an Autorickshaw at this time of the hour so easily. She regretted the decision of not buying a car here in Mumbai much to her father's insistence.

A car stopped infront of her just saving her feet from few centimetres, she saw none other than but the devil himself sitting inside. He opened the door for her and asked her to sit.

Well she had a big Ego. How could she just agree so easily. She blatantly Refused.

"Myra stop being so resolute. I'll drop you. Come sit." he ordered.

"I don't want. I am fine by my own." she replied sharply.

"Fine. Do as you like. Stand here and get stranded."

Oops! She really thought that he would request her more and bear some of her tantrums but certainly he was in no mood for that. Without speaking any further, she sat beside him.

The car ride was indeed a quiet one. No questions asked, no taunts surfaced. He just asked her about her address and drove in that direction.

"It's a wrong turn." She said at once seeing him taking a left turn instead of going straight.

"What.? Sit down quietly when you don't know anything." He told her.

"Excuse Me.? I come daily from that way only. I am not dumb." she rebuked.

He didn't reply to her and instead chose to drive in the same direction.

"Kabir I'm serious where are you taking me? I am not in a mood of any pranks." she replied with a serious tone.

"Relax. Let me tell you, you are London Return, not me. I am not new to Mumbai and please i have no plan of kidnapping you." he said. "What was the name of your apartment?" he asked.

"Tropical Apartm.. " she couldn't complete.

"Have a look infront of you." he said sternly.

She turned and saw that indeed she has reached infront of her house. She saw from her side eye that he was staring her right back, she bit her lower lip. She felt quite embarrassed of how she was blaming him of bluffing her, she replied, "Woh i thought.."

"That was a short cut. Anyways, You live here alone?" he asked.

"Umm no.. With one of my friend, Anjali." she replied and opened the door to move out. She turned around and said "Thank you" softly. He just nodded.

He didn't move from there not until she went safely inside the lift. She remembered how he used to do the same back when they were dating, he used to drop her to her house and wait until she goes inside the gate safely.

The next few days were quite busy for all of them. They were prepping for an important international project. Everybody had some work or the other.

Myra just concluded a meeting with her creative team that included art directors, copywriters and some designers. She was waiting for an email from one of her designer friend who had gone to check for some new designs outside, her whole focus was on her phone, she didn't realize when she collided with someone, her phone almost slipped from her hand.
"Oh. I am sorry." she said.

"You better be.!" The girl replied.

"Umm? What? I didn't see actually i was.." Myra fumbled.

"Myra Mehra right?" The girl asked or rather told her.

"Yes, but do we know each other?" Myra asked her curiously.

"Tia." The girl told oppressively.

Myra couldn't remember the not so familiar face. She made all sorts of weird faces trying to decipher her name.

"Same school." she added.

"Tia kapoor" It finally clicked. "Wasn't expecting you here but anyways glad to meet you."

"Pleasure is all mine" Tia replied.

Myra couldn't really decode why she was smiling in an irritating way. "So what brought you here?" she asked.

"The man himself." She called out to Kabir who was talking to someone at a distance. She asked him to join them. As soon as he came, Tia whisked her arm on Kabir's much to Myra's annoyance.

"We are dating." Tia told her.

It came out as a shock to Myra. Hadn't in her dreams she ever thought that Kabir would date someone like Tia. She looked at Kabir who inturn had a smile on his face. She gave a faint smile to both of them. Kabir excused himself as he got a call.

Tia gave the same irritating smile to Myra again, she was in no mood to talk to her, not after this stupid revelation. Myra was about to leave.

"Ouch. Did it hurt?" Tia asked sarcastically.

"Excuse me?" Myra was visibly miffed at her.

"Yeah obviously Kabir chose me over you. Unlike last time." She winked.

"Tia for God's sake that was 6 years ago. You are still not over it."

"No. I still remember how you all made fun of me because i proposed him and he denied." she squealed.

"Yeah because I and Kabir were dating at that time." she replied.

"But not now right." Tia said and added, "You know what we are not only dating but engaged too."

Okay this wasn't something Myra expected.

"You guys are engaged?" She asked nervously.

"Yeah." Tia replied with a big smile.

Myra went from there quietly, she was numb at the moment and to talk to her any further.

Kabir had gone for some important work outside. Taking Advantage of it, Tia again went to annoy Myra.
It was time, and all of them were winding up their work to go home.

"Myra!" she called out.

Myra turned to look at her, her already spoilt mood went for a toss again.

"I need some files." she said.

"Tia, there are so many people to help you with it."

"No. I want it from you only. Go fetch them from the basement." she ordered her.

"I'll do it tomorrow. Moreover you are not my boss." Myra replied in an annoyed tone.

"My orders are His orders too.!" she said, "Since you know we are.."

"Fine it's useless to argue with you. Wait here." Saying this she went to the store room of the basement.
