"Stop here bhaiya". Telling the auto driver to stop the auto, I walked inside the company after paying him.
The same girl from yesterday was standing on the reception, smiling at her, I walked inside the elevator.
Extending my hand, I pressed the floor button. But before the elevator door could close, I heard a manly voice, screaming from the outside telling me to stop.
I immediately stopped the elevator. My reflexes are good I must accept.
A man cladded in black coat, with a white shirt underneath stepped inside the elevator. After pressing the button he leaned his body back. His breaths were heavy, like he ran miles. His forehead is also covered with sweat but not even a strand of hair is out of place.
What do these guys use to have such good hairs. Even after I try every possible thing to exist, on my hair, it never gets better
"Do I look good?". He spoke catching my attention. I did not realised that I have been staring at him since he entered. Gosh, what are you doing Amayra.
"Yes. I mean no, you look good but not good enough but you are not bad either not good-"
"My god stop girl. You are confusing me." I shut my mouth in a thin line. What the fuck was I saying?
"I am sorry". Uttering in a slow voice, I turned to the front. I heard him chuckle behind.
"You are going to the 27th floor?". He spoke, again catching my attention. Glancing at the floor button and then, at him, I nodded.
"Yes, I work there. This is my first day at job". I answered him back, but with just the thought of staying with him, the whole day, made me have an unsettling feeling in my stomach. Am I nervous? Yes I am. I don't know how to face him.
Even after practising for hours yesterday, I feel the same. All the hardwork went to waste. How am I going to do my work if he will be in front of me. God please have mercy on me. Please save me, I don't want to lose this job.
I was so lost in his thoughts that I forgot, that I am in an elevator. I came back to the senses when, the man jerk my shoulder from behind.
"Are you planning to stay in the elevator for the rest of the time?". He spoke. Shaking my head negatively, I sighed and left the elevator.
"Cute". The man said.

"Shall I go in or wait outside?"
I am standing in front of the CEO's cabin right now and pondering if I should go inside or not.
I should not enter when he is not inside himself. It's his cabin, and I don't think anyone would like this. So instead of going inside, I settled on the chairs, near the cabin.
Putting my handbag on my lap, I pick out my notes tab.
1) Greet him. 2) BEHAVE PROFESSIONAL. 3) Always add Sir behind his name.
These are the notes, I made yesterday after reaching home. But I highly doubt that I will be able to remember any of these as soon as he comes in front of me.
Removing every other thought from my mind, I started chanting those rules. Greet him, BEHAVE PROFESSIONAL, Always add Sir behind his name.
All my attention is on this piece of paper, I don't care if the world collides. All I care about is this, about how I behave in front of him and he doesn't fire me.
Suddenly the paper got snatched away from my hand. What the holy Mother of God. Before I could stand up, my eyes fell on a pair of black shoes. Shinier than my future. I could see my face clearly on them.
Raking my gaze upwards, I saw someone with tall legs, hidden behind the black piece of trouser. My eyes raked upwards and met with a place where the sun don't shine. Stop it Amayra, you have gone crazy.
The next moment, I felt someone, touching my cheeks and my head was jerked upwards. My eyes met the eyes of the person, it was none other than Him, Ranveer.
So, I was gawking shamelessly at him? One hand under my jaw and another one holding that paper. Reality hit me and I realised. What the fuck did I do? He must have read the paper. Gosh why am I so dumb.
Standing up almost immediately, I tried to get the paper back from him but this man, he raised his hand out of my reach. He is 6'3 for gods sake. How am I suppose to compete with this man, when I am only 5'2. Nowhere in this universe, I can stand him and tackle him.
Raising my gaze to his, I noticed his gazing down at me with a tightened jaw. I backed off. Racking my eyes around, I see everyone's head towards this side and watching us with wide eyes.
I am gone.
"In the cabin, now". I hear him say, before he disappears inside his cabin. Why the heck did I do that? Why does this happens with me only. What was my fault, he came and snatched the paper from me and it resulted in all of this drama. Yes it was not my fault.
Picking up my handbag, I knocked on the door only to hear him screaming.
"Come the fuck in". That made shivers run down my body. He is so angry and now I am going to become his prey.
He has changed a lot actually. He used to be so calm before. He has never raised his voice like this before. What have you made of yourself in these years Ranveer.
I opened the door and got inside only to find him sitting on his chair, with one leg over another. There's the paper weight in his hand, and be is rolling it around. He did not raised his eyes to look at me and kept sitting as he was. The lack of movement is scaring me more than before.
Not knowing what to do, I kept standing at my place. I noticed that his expressions are harsh. He is angry for sure. His tightened jawline, sending electric shivers to my spine.
"What is this?". He uttered in a dangerously calm voice. It feels like the silence before the storm. And I am going to be the next victim of that storm. He raised his eye brow, while holding up the peoce of paper, enough for me to see.
I gulped, not knowing what to answer. If I tell him the truth, he will think of me as a weak girl, who gets scared so easily that she needs to come with notes on how to behave with his CEO, but what if I lie?
Lying is not your thing. You will only complicate the thing for you more and more.
"I am sorry, I will keep control on my behaviour I promise Sir". I whispered. I wonder if he even heard it or not.
"I asked you a simple question Amayra, What is this? I am not asking for an apology right now". Why are you doing this Ranveer.
I can't even speak in front of you. Why are you being unnecessarily rude to me. I wanted to say it out loud but I am a coward, I accept it.
"Yesterday, when I came for the interview. I felt, I spoke the things I shouldn't speak. That's why after I reached home, I made notes of the things I shouldn't do".
I answered honestly, because I know there's no way out now. Either he will think that I am childish and will kick me out of his company. Who wants a childish assistant with them.
I hear him sigh. He opened his drawer and pulling out some files, he called me closer to him. Still hesitant, I walked near him and heard him say.
"Read these files for now, I will get your schedule done before you leave tonight."
Speaking in a calm voice, opened his laptop and continued working like nothing happened. I stood at the same place for few moment, comprehending everything when I heard him again.
"Go and sit on the sofa or I will make sure that you keep standing the whole day".
Catching my attention, he roared. Damn this man. After what he just did, I don't trust him. I know if he said, that he will make sure I keep standing the whole, he will do it, I have no doubts about it. So without making it any hard for myself, I sat on the sofa and started reading all the files one by one.
The files contains his schedule, upcoming meeting and all the deal plans and everything. All this information is so important from business perspective. And me, being his assistant I need to everything about the deals, meeting and his plans.
From the next 4-5 hours, I forgot about everything. I forgot that I am in the company, sitting inside his cabin, all my attention were on the files.
Closing the last file, I yawned. I looked around and to my surprise, I did not find him. When did he go out? I was so immersed with those files that I did not paid attention to him, and where he went.
Standing up, I stretched my body. I noticed his cabin. It's black with hints of grey for designing and patterns. Why black?
Some unique artworks were pinned on the walls. I found a painting on the left wall. Walking closer to it, I saw it's a painting of a girl. A girl in a red traditional dress. Her open hairs and smile adorning her beauty even more. The painting looked good and the girl in it, looked beautiful.
But who is this girl? And why does Ranveer have this painting inside his cabin. Is she somehow related to him in any way? Is she his girlfriend or maybe ex- girlfriend.
Feeling a sharp pang of pain into my heart, tears brimmed my eyes. What if he is actually involved with someone else, what will I do then?
On one hand, I want him all to myself and live all the memories I have about us but on the other hand, I don't want to paint him as mine. He deserves someone better and that someone is not me for sure.
Will I ever be able to see him with anyone else?
Will I feel happy, watching him smiling with some other girl that's not me?
Will I feel content watching him kiss another girl while holding her from waist in the white wedding gown?
Will I still bless him with all the love I have in me for him?
Will I be able to move on from him?
So many questions, but answer. None. I have no answers. This dilemma of my heart is ruining my brain. It's just the first day and my brain is already a mess.
All the while, I wished to meet him and see him happy. Now, that he is in front of me, I cannot stand this. All the time, I forced myself to say, I will be happy to watch him from far and then let go of him but will I ever be?
Why is my life like this?
Why?
The man that I love is right in front of me and still I cannot claim him. I cannot tell him my feelings because he is my boss now and I am nothing but a mere employee for him. He doesn't even remember me. The childhood we spent together, vanished into thin air.
And those men, who I did not even know about, snatched my everything away from me. My family turned their backs from me, everyone did as well.
And here I am expecting that he will accept me after knowing all of that. Am I strong enough to tell him everything yet. The mere thought about that night, gets my skin crawling with anxiety and fear, that the history will repeat itself. The pain, I went through when I was lying lifeless on the roads between the forested area.
What if no one had found me that night. Wild animals and birds would be eating me to death. Then I would never meet Ranveer again. This is what people call is destiny.
Are you in my destiny Ranveer?
"Like it?". A heavy manly voice reached my ears and turning back almost immediately, I found Ranveer standing there. The distance between both of us is less than half a meter.
When did he?
"I asked did you like the picture?". Speaking again, he got me speechless.
"Yes. It's beautiful".
Like you.
"One thing you need to know is, never barge into my personal space. You or no one is allowed to roam and take a look at things that are Mine". He growled. His expressing which were calm until now, changed into the most feral expressions, that anyone could have.
"But, that's just a painting." Yes, why is he getting pissed. I just took a look at the painting. Not like I stole it or something.
Before I could understand anything. He pinned me on the wall. This grip on my throat is constricting the air flow in my body. What is happening?
"That is not just a painting. I will not think twice before killing you if I ever heard you say anything about this. Did you get that?". Screaming on the top of his lungs, he exclaimed. Releasing my throat with a jerk, he walked out of the cabin.
I stand frozen in the place and trying to fill as much air as I can. Did I trigger him this much that he was ready to kill me? What is this? What has happened with him?
Worry filled my body. He is fine? Is he okay? Because what he did with me was not normal at all. This man, who wasn't used to raise his voice at someone, is ready to kill anyone at an instant now?
Does his parents know about this? Does anyone know how is he doing?
I don't care if anyone knows about him or not, but I will find out. I will find out everything that has been troubling him. This is not the man, I fell in love with. This man is a demon, a monster.
I will change you Ranveer. You will become the same angel you were before and I will stand in front of you and ask every question. And you will answer all of them.
You have to change. I will change you. I will bring back my Ranveer.
The love of my life

*SPOILER* from chapter 7
He stood there, in the same place with a dangerous smirk on his face. I see all the girls screaming.
"Ranveer my man".
"Finally we won".
"Ranveer hit the goal".
"So proud of you my man".
"Wait, is he Ranveer?". Before I get lost in my thoughts, a pair of hands pulled me back.
"Where were you? I thought I lost you ". It was Alisha. Her face is looking all flushed and red due to the scorching sun, mine must look like hers too.
"The boy who scored the goal was Ranveer?". Asking her, I saw her nodding. So he is the boy, Shivani was mad for.
Interesting.
You are interesting Ranveer
