THIRD PERSON POV

With a heavy heart she just resumed her walk and reached a beautiful mansion. After stepping inside she politely greeted a girl who was running upstairs in a hurry. She looked to be in her twenties with beautiful features like a model.

"Good morning ma'am .."

"I told you to come early today but you are late like everyday. Now, stop walking like a snail and hurry. You have to help me in getting ready quickly. ", that girl scoffed in her direction.

"Siya ma'am! Do you like this hairstyle?", Aarushi asked her in a low voice. She had done her hairs three times now but still she didn't satisfy. Neither she told her how she wanted her hairs nor she cared about the hardwork she was putting in to make her look good.

She again asked Siya if she liked the hairstyle. But she didn't answer as she was busy on her mobile sending holi pictures to her friends. Aarushi felt bad for herself but as usual she composed herself to normal as if it's not a big deal. After all she's just a maid here and had to put up with everything that's coming her way.

"What the hell! Where is your mind ?? .. See these strands escaped from my bun....Make it curly ..", Siya shouted at her, making her shudder in fear.

Aarushi calmly did as she was ordered.

Siya kept talking on the phone with her friend about matchmaking that's going to happen today,"Yeah! He is coming to see me. You know what he studied abroad and is very rich. After his studies, he came to India to handle his father's business. Like me, he is also the only son of the family. The entire property and business would be his after his father. I am feeling happy that at least he is matching my level and standards otherwise I am not interested in marrying a pauper. Yesterday my dad sent me his picture. I can't believe he is so young, handsome, rich and tall. And another good thing is he never dated. After marriage I will make him my puppet for sure .." , she mumbled smirking.

Aarushi was shocked at her evil ideas and thoughts towards the man but ignored them as it's nothing to do with her.

"Ma'am ..Your parents asking for you.", another maid informed.

Siya got up ,"Yeah, I am coming down in a few minutes.." she said while looking at herself in the mirror, doing touch ups once again.

Aarushi,"Maam you are looking beautiful."

Siya,"I know. I am always beautiful. He is going to mesmerize."

After everyone assembled in the hall and Siya's parents were done talking with Anshul Sehgal. They were impressed with his descent personality and he was looking more handsome in person.

"You both carry-on, we will join you later. ..", Siya's parents said, giving privacy to them.

First Siya decided to initiate a conversation as she found him very uninterested in this whole thing. He talked only when her parents asked him about something, otherwise he looked like he was forced to come here.

On the other hand Anshul was thinking about what his parents saw in her to choose as his wife. Whatever he noticed in these few minutes of interaction she looked so arrogant and her attitude was no good as if she's a queen. The way she shouted at the maids who were doing nothing but doing their duty calmly. He totally disliked her talks and her behavior was a big NO. She looked so fake for God sake.

He can see who is genuine or fake from his experience.

"Can I get a cup of coffee or tea?", he asked, feeling a bit of headache which just started at the back of his head after seeing all this drama.

"Sure.", she forced a sickening sweet smile.

"Aarushi, Go get a strong tea for sir and don't walk like a snail at least today. Come fast.", she literally yelled at the poor girl who's standing in the corner of the room calmly.

Anshul felt familiar with this name, he stressed his mind to remember where he heard it.

"That bouquet shop girl's name .. yes her name is Aarushi....I heard when her dadaji called her.", suddenly his brain flashed the incident in front of his eyes.

She came with a tray and stood before Siya ,"Ma'am .."

Anshul looked at her immediately when her sweet voice reached his ears.

"Keep it down and go.", Siya said in a hard tone.

She nodded her head and bent down to place it. While Anshul was excitedly observing her acts as his brain clouded with conclusions about her.

"So she is also a maid here. She is a very hardworking girl ..But why is she always wearing the white dupatta covering her face?", These questions raked his brains regarding her.

Siya caught Anshul's gaze trailing on her maid intensely and her body shook with rage instantly. He didn't even give a proper glance to her figure since he came here but was suddenly gawking at this lowly girl as if she's the most interesting thing in the world.

"WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?", she shouted startling the poor girl.

"WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?", she shouted startling the poor girl.

The next second the teacup slided from the tray sending it down to the shiny floor.

"What the hell? Are you blind? You spoiled my 50000 /- Rs foot wears ..", she immediately stood up and slapped her across her face without even hesitation.

Due to the force of the slap, Aarushi lost her balance and directly fell on Anshul.

Anshul was shocked at first but later got more furious when his brain registered at the way she behaved with the poor girl.

"Are you okay?", he asked her softly while holding her arms making her straighten up her body.

She flinched at the contact first but relaxed the next moment when she heard his soothing voice fanning her ear.

He noticed how her body shivered in fear and then calmed down abruptly in his hold. She nodded her head in yes but her hot tears told him another story which fell on his hand. It made his blood boil in anger.

He didn't like her tears!

Her tears reminded me of HER.

He made her stand up gently and then removed his hands from her shoulder respectfully. He was a stranger so he didn't want to make her uncomfortable with his proximity as she's already in so much fear.

"Why did you do that?", he turned his entire attention towards Siya and demanded an explanation about her despicable behavior. His fists were tightened and jaw clenched. His eyes became so fierce that Siya had to take a step back as if his eyes could burn her alive.
