(Some abusive language in this chapter, which took me 3 showers to compose) 

Third Person's POV

"What are you doing here?" Myra flinched hearing a voice, tightening her hold on her pen.

"Uh.. nothing." She scratched her head.

It was after her 3rd day of work that she was given a script to check. She got a pretty late deadline but she decided to complete it today since she wasn't sleepy. So she decided to go down to the kitchen and have some ice-cream along with work. Around 20 minutes later she got joined by her boss.

"I didn't give you so much work to stay late night and complete." Aryan joked sitting beside her with a tub of his ice-cream, which wad the last tub as she remembered.

It was around thirty minutes later when Myra's stomach growled making Aryan look up from his phone and Myra blush in embarrassment.

"Is this why you couldn't sleep?" Aryan asked amusement full in his eyes.

"No." She quickly denied.

"Actually I wanted to see the city around in the weekend. So I decided to complete this one now. And every time I stay up at night I get hunger attacks." She pouted at the end.

"Then why don't we cook something? I can assist you." He suggested.

"You'll assist me?" Myra looked at him with amusement.

They guy who's her boss will assist her in the kitchen. Funny.

"Okay. It's okay if we sleep a little late once. Let's go." She got up from the dining table.

"C'mon then, follow me assistant." There's no way she's gonna miss this opportunity.

Both of them got into their aprons as Myra hopped to the kitchen cabinet.

"What should we make?" She asked Aryan who was seeing ingredients in the fridge.

"Umm.. I don't know. You tell me."

"Are there Oreos in your kitchen?" She asked as a dish came up to her mind.

"Yeah. I remember Neil putting them into our trolley during our monthly grocery shopping and I don't eat those. So they must be there." He nodded.

"Butter should be here. Cream?"

"Yeah." He got the Amul Cream from the fridge.

"Great then. The dish is decided." She smiled getting off from the cabinet and walking towards the sticky notes. She noted down something there and came back to her now-assistant who was getting the oreos from the shelfs.

"Here! This is the ingredients list." She handed him.

"Oreos, butter, cream, sugar, choco chips. That's it?" He asked.

"Yeah."

"What are we gonna make?" He asked again as such less ingredients shocked him.

"Cream sandwiches."

*

"You grinded them, right? Now take it out to a bowl and add the melted butter to it. Mix it and mix it nicely. Then take it out on a baking tray. Remember to brush it with butter before taking it out. Label it uniformly and then cut circles with those cookies cutter. Then keep it in the oven. I have pre heated it so wear gloves." She ordered as the blender blended the cream and sugar.

It has been around 15 minutes. Both of them got the ingredients together and started the work till now. They haven't talked anything other than regarding the desert they are making.

"Done! See, I did it so nicely." Aryan said after a few minutes.

Myra turned and looked at him who was showing her the tray where the cookies were uniformly kept and cut into small circular cookies.

"Now keep it in the oven. An-"

"And wear gloves. I remember." He cut her off.

It was 10 minutes later when Myra was sitting in the cabinets licking cream off the spatula, unaware of the heated gaze of a handsome man on her.

"How many boyfriends did you had?" She was surprised at the sudden question.

"Huh?"

"How many boyfriends did you had in these past years?" He repeated his question.

"What made you think that I had a boyfriend? Or is this your way to know whether I have a boyfriend or not?" She asked him, her eyes solely on him.

He walked to her taking small steps till his clothed chest was pressed to her body and both of them were looking at each other.

"A beautiful girl like you can never stay single, my experience says." He tucked a strand of hair to her ears who was blushing heavily now.

"Well then this time your experience is wrong. Actually as you said and I already know I am a little less beautiful than Hande Ercel, but most of the time guys don't approach girls thinking that they have a boyfriend but they won't be. This is how beautiful girls like me stay single." She pouted, sharing her misery.

"Well I don't know about others, but I, personal, am very thankful that you are single." Aryan mumbled but nonetheless she heard him.

"Uh.. I will see the script." She mumbled and got down to the dining table.

After a few minutes, she frowned when she completed reading the script. It was for a advertisement which the writing head has given and her boss had asked her to check it.

"This is wrong." She mumbled to herself.

"Huh? What is wrong?" Aryan asked as he settled himself beside her.

"Sir this script is wrong. I mean the whole mindset behind this script is wrong. This will fill negativity in teenagers' mind for love." She shook her head.

"What do you mean?"

"Love is not done to someone's outer beauty. It is a feeling, the purest feeling for both inner and outer beauty." She looked at him, saying.

"I still can't understand what you are saying." Replied a clueless Aryan.

"Suppose you are x and I am y. No suppose you are you and I am I and we have fallen in love. Now if you truly love me will you leave me if I have pimples in my skin? Seriously? Will you? No, right? This is utterly rubbish." She hissed.

"Love is not a child's play. It's about loving a person's soul not it's body." She continued.

While Aryan was dumbstruck at her examples.

"I would never leave you."

"Huh?"

"Not-nothing" He shuttered.

"Exactly this is stupid. I will get you the report and then it's your choice of course. But for me this is RUBBISH." She declared.

"Yea-" He got cut by the ping of oven.

"I'll get that." Aryan muttered and went to get his gloves and then got the cookies.

"See!" He chirped showing her the cookies.

Cooking truly changes one's mind and that happened to Myra as well. Her whole mood instantly changed.

"Wow." She clapped her hands. "I'll get the cream and scoop and you get the choco chips. Finally our hunger will be gone." She chirped happily getting the cream and scoop.

She took out one cookie and added a scoop of cream and sandwiched it with another cookie. Then he rolled it over the choco chips and coated it on the sides.

"Oh my god!" She gasped.

"This turned out quite amazing." He nodded and took a sandwich but kept it back when Myra slapped his hands away.

"Wait! I need to click some pictures first. Your stupid brother thinks I cook shit. I need to show this to him." She said as she got a plate from the crockery cabinet and arranged the sandwiches in it. She put some choco ships to garnish it. After arranging the lightings, she clicked some 10-15 photographs and kept her phone away.

"Let's eat." She cheered.

*

"How much more?" Myra grumbled sliding down the wooden railing of the stairs again.

"Almost" Came a ruffled voice.

"Yeah." She rolled her eyes at the word which he had said more than 20 times in the past 1 hour.

"See I am do- What the fuck are you doing?" Aryan yelled as he ran over Myra who slid down the railing again.

"What?" She shrugged.

"It's fucking dangerous woman." He narrowed his eyes at her, yelling.

"I know. Shall we go now, that your beauty and get ready session is over?" She asked sarcastically, getting down.

It's Saturday and three days since their midnight cooking. Everyday at the same time they would come to the kitchen and try new and different dishes. Apparently even both of them have been searching quick dishes in their leisure time.

Yesterday when they were eating their cheesy onion and chilly toasted sandwich, Aryan remembered Myra's wish to see the city. And thus they decided to visit the nearest zoo today. Myra wasn't excited, she was ecstatic. She has immediately jumped around which caused some of her sandwich to fall but she didn't care. She danced around, making no efforts to hide her excitement.

And that is why they are sitting in his Bentley Bentayga and singing to the title song of Shudh Desi Romance. It was Myra's choice and soon both of them started singing to it like a maniac.

Myra was wearing a romper that reached the mid of her thighs, or an inch or two above it. It was dusty pink in color which highlights if yellow and a white crop tshirt was tucked underneath to match with it. She had put all her hair in a pony and a lightweight cap from Caps and Beanies. Her hair was tucked out, making her look perfectly cute. While Aryan was wearing a simple white tshirt with scratched jeans.

It was a 45 min journey from their house to the zoo. Upon reaching Myra descended the car and Aryan went to park it. There was a huge gate with various animals drawn at the entrance and soon they went in after Aryan joined her.

"Zoo, here we come. Yayyyyyyyy" She yelled.

*

"Please no. Please. Aryan please." Myra pleaded as Aryan laughed handing her the bunch of sugarcane.

Apparently it has been an hour since they have started exploring the zoo and now they stopped at the Elephant's place. It's name was 'Champa Kali'.

Even after seeing the name of the elephant Myra was backing out but after seeing the elephant, her eyes widened as she turned back to make a run but ofcourse her day-time-boss and night-time-assistant didn't let her.

Now she had a bunch of sugarcane for the elephant and Aryan had picked her up from her waist towards the elephant.

"Please no!" She cried.

She slowly forwarded her hands full her sugarcane to the elephant and it trumpted taking it from her hand. While Myra's eyes were fully closed and she was terrified to hell, Aryan's laugh didn't stop. 

He had picked her up by her waist and wasn't planning to drop her, but the push Myra gave in his ribs, made him do so. 

"I will never, ever talk to you." She hissed, stomping away, making him laugh again. 

*

"Should I bring the car here or will you walk till the parking?" Aryan asked the extremely tired Myra, who was leaning and clutching to his biceps.

"No! If I'll walk a step more, I will faint right here." She mumbled lazily as her feet took her to the nearest seating arrangement. 

Aryan shook his head as he went to the parking which is quite a lot of walking distance. 

It was already nearing 8 in the evening. The streets were very less crowded except for the people who were leaving the zoo. For the zoo was constructed away from the city, there were no houses or local stores. 

Myra was lazing in the bench when she heard whistles. Not of any animal, it seemed human's to her. She tried to get up but her legs were too damn tired. So she tried to narrow her eyes a bit to get a view. 

After some moments, she saw a girl walking towards her, or rather running. Following her were two guys, laughing, commenting and following the girl. That's when she understood the situation. Anger reeped through her system as the girl neared her and she saw tears in her eyes. She was clutching her bag tightly and running away. 

All her tiredness seem to go away as she remembered all her self protection sessions she got from Samarth. She stood up, ignoring the pain in her legs and went to the girl stopping her, making her flinch. However the girl was relieved seeing her, so she went behind her. 

The guys following her saw Myra and were going to turn back and go from a distance, when Myra shouted, "Saale kameene, akeli ladki ko dekh kar chedta hai. Abe apne baap ki aulad hai toh idhar aa. Ek baar do-teen chappal padh jaye nah toh saari akad bahar nikal jayegi, chutiya sala."(You fucking bastard, how dare you molest a girl seeing that she's alone? If you have your father's blood then come right here! All your pride will shatter once I'll beat you with my sneakers, bloddy fool)

However this seemed to hurt the ego of the guys as they came towards her. But that was probably the worst thing they have ever done because as soon as they came to her, she threw a punch to one's face. Hearing the commotion some people from the zoo department came running. And then it was just peoples' kicks and slaps and their faces. 

Aryan's eyes widened seeing Myra kick a guy's guts continuously. He rushed out of the car and tried to understand the situation. However it just felt like a anger reliever to him where people are letting their anger on the poor guys. 

"Kameena sala. Maa, behen nhi hai kya tere ghar mein? Maro isko." She yelled kicking him. 

Aryan rushed to her trying to capture her in his arms. 

Where did she get this energy from? He thought.

"Calm down. Myra, calm down. See the police is here as well. We need to go." He picked her up by her waist who was still yelling curses and kicking her feet in the air. 

"Huh! Stupid fuckers. I would have been there for some more time, I would have handed him his leg in his hand. Fucker." She cursed wiping her sweat. 

*

It was 2 days later. Both Myra and Aryan have been more close than earlier. Now she wouldn't be surprised if he propose her with a ring. Kidding! 

But their late night cooking sessions and talks are regular and that is what got them close. Sure, in office they were professional but the cute stares she got when she talked with anyone else, was hot. 

And she has realized, if she stays like this for some more days, she'll definitely fall in love with him. 

Brushing that off, Myra took light steps to the library. She had heard from the house help that it's situated up, just beside Aryan's room. She never went up but she knew that it only had his room, an office and a big library. 

She was getting bored and thus the idea of reading a book came to her mind. Reading stories had been her favorite thing to do in leisure times but then her leisure times were less and she preferred spending those times with her family. 

And now that she is alone at home, because Aryan had an important meeting, she decided to restart her favorite hobby. 

She saw a closed poplar door and she went to it. Opening it, she saw dark. There were windows, but all were closed, except one. Serene moonlight was coming from that one opened window, glowing the whole room. And there rows and columns filled with books. There were many stacks and shelfs and each one of it was filled with books. 

This looks beautiful! She thought.

She ran her fingers though the books, when she saw a thin book on some books, kept horizontally. It was thin but seemed different. And thus she picked it up and sat down there. 

*

It almost 1 am, when Aryan entered the house. He was tired with the constant meetings lined up. He would have stayed in the office's penthouse, but he wanted to come home. Maybe hoping to get another cooking session with someone special. 

Another reason for him to get home was that, his parents were going to visit him. It was one of their surprise visits, which didn't stay surprise because his brother informed him. 

He was wearing his white shirt, because he left his blazer in the office. His cuffs were folded and the upper two buttons were open. His hair was messy, giving him a perfect, hot businessman look. 

He peeked at the kitchen and sulked when he found it empty. 

She must be asleep. He thought.

However when he was going to his room, he heard cries coming from the library. This surely wasn't a situation where a ghost is faking a girl and crying to capture him. So he decided to go in. 

And when he went, he found Myra. She was reading a book with keep interest in it. Her knees were almost touching her chest as tears kept falling like some dam. 

Peeking a little more, his eyes filled with amusement, when he saw the book she was reading. It had a sad ending and thus she was crying. 

Two lovers, a big misunderstanding, separation, pregnancy, confession, truth and a tragic death is what this book revolves around. At the end the couple will die, but together and the book says, 'Even during death they were together'. 

Bullshitt! 

What's the use of staying together when you are dead? He thought.

But seeing this crying beauty in front, made his feet take him towards her. He sat in front of her with the support of the shelf in his back. The distance between them was less and their toes were touching. 

Myra's eyes snapped towards him, when he sat down. And looking at his eyes, made her cry even more. 

"Why are you crying?" He asked softly despite knowing the truth. 

"You" sob "saw" sob "how" sob "beautiful" sob "this" sob "is." She completed her sentence with sobs making him chuckle. 

"Come here." He asked and Myra scooted a little closer. However Aryan didn't like that, as he picked her up like a baby and shifted her to him lap. 

Her eyes snapped to his as both the pair of eyes got locked together. Her glossy eyes met his tired one. She kept her hands on his clothed chest and his hands were on his waist. 

"What are you doing here? In the library, amore?" He asked and she blushed at the nickname. 

"I-You were late. And I was getting bored so I thought to came here. I will leav-" She said. 

"Hmm.. So it's all because I am late, isn't it?" He asked. 

"No-" 

"How about I make it up to you? With a dinner?" He added with a soft kiss in her cheeks, sucking her tears. 

And that's when her eyes snapped to him, widening. 

Did he, her crush, just asked her for a dinner? A date? 

*

It was the next morning and Myra was just back from the temple. It was Monday, her regular visiting day to the local temple. 

However last night, they had fell asleep in the library itself, in his arms. That is why she got late waking up. 

And yeah she said yes to her date! 

And thus decided to go to the office the clothes she was wearing to temple.  

She was wearing a pista green kurti which hugged her upper body and white pants which reached till her ankle. The kurti got small prints which were there in the net, white duppata as well. 

What she didn't want to go to office wearing this is that, her back was almost bare. It just got thin strings connecting the dress. It was a perfect combination of traditional and sexy as her sister-in-law said while buying it, despite her brother's deny. 

But it's Delhi! And no will notice her back. She thought and that's how she was now in the lift of her office wearing the same dress. However her words did get wrong because she has been getting many stares. 

It was raining cats and dogs and Myra didn't want her white pants to get dirty. So she was extremely careful with them. 

When she reached her, Anaya informed her that their boss was asking for her. She had not seen him after their night's event and now too she was extremely shy for facing him. He was sleeping while she went to the temple and when she came back, he was gone. 

She reached the upper most and her confidence was back. No matter how shy she was, but she won't let others see that. They'll only get her badaas attitude. 

She knocked the door and got in after a small 'come in'. 

There he was sitting and signing some papers which she remember keeping in his desk last night. He haven't seen her yet and she was dying to get his reaction. 

"You asked for me, Sir?" She asked and that's when he looked up, at her. And his breathe was stuck. 

She looked beautiful. 

"Uh- ye-Yeah. I actually want you to send someone to the Malhotra's and get the confirmation papers. Mr. Malhotra's assistant was going to bring it but due to some emergency he couldn't." He said. 

"Everyone is busy right now. But no problem, I'll get it." She said remembering the entire team busy with the current project. 

"Are you sure?" 

"Yeah. I'll get it." She mumbled looking at him through her lashes. 

"Okay. I will ask a driver to go with you." She nodded and left the cabin.

"By the way." He said stopping her as she looked back. 

"You look amazing." He added and smirked seeing her blush. 

"Thankyou." She replied closing the door."  

"Oh god! Why didn't you send her earlier? I know I have fallen for her." He whispered to himself, smiling like a fool.  

What he didn't knew was this maybe God didn't had a mood to make their date to happen.
