SHREYA'S POV :
Fortunately, the road was clear, and I did not arrive late today.
We've arrived at our office's canteen to eat lunch. We include Neha (my good friend), Rahul (my friend), and Ansh bhaiya (he acts like a big brother and protects me, so I call him bhaiya). He genuinely cares about me and is always willing to assist me. With a single glance, he can tell what I'm thinking. And console me in a way that no one else could) and, of course, me. They are my office friends, and even though they are all seniors to me, they make me feel at ease here. I thought moving to a new city would be difficult, but these three gems made everything simple.I couldn't hear what they were saying because I was preoccupied with my food. Neha has an idea completely out of the blue. As she began to speak, my gaze was drawn to her."Hey guys, it's Friday today, and we can go to the club tonight, what do you think?"My eyes widened, and the spoon fell from my grasp."Yes, I'm in," Rahul said cheerfully. He appeared to be more excited than Neha."I'm sorry, guys, but I won't be able to join you because I have some work." Ansh bhaiya said, pouting his lips."I'm sorry from my end as well." I said, raising my hands."Can you tell us why?" Rahul inquired, cocking one brow."I.....I....I""Yes, yes, we are listening to what you have to say." Neha inquired sarcastically. Three sets of eyes were trained on me, waiting for me to say something."I need to get somewhere else." I smiled to hide my lie, but I know I failed miserably.They began to laugh at my shedding."Oh little one, you don't even know how to lie," bhaiya pointed out. He refers to me as "little one" because I am the youngest of the group.And I bowed my head in shame."So it's final, we're going to the club tonight." Neha burst out laughing."But..." I added."No more ifs or buts, Shreya. It is final, and we will not listen to any of your excuses this time. And one more thing: you're not going home. You're coming with me after work!"I opened my mouth to protest, but she cut me off again."Don't worry, I'll talk to Auntiji, but she won't say anything." I closed my mouth as quickly as I opened it. She's left me with no choice."OK, I'm ready to go to the club, but not to your house, please," I begged."No way, you're not going in your tomboy outfit. I'll get you ready tonight "She gave a wink."Please say something to her, Bhaiya. Thank you "I made a puppy face with tears in my eyes because this trick always works for him."It's all right, Shreya, try to get out of your comfort zone."He was my last hope, and if my savior isn't there to help me, no one can.I'm afraid I have to agree with them.
Urghhhhhh.————————-We arrived at Neha's house at 7:00 p.m.; it has been an hour, and Neha is still unsure what to wear. Ugh. She comes from a wealthy family and spends all of her money on herself. But she is down to earth and not conceited about her position. She is only doing the job to pass the time. Furthermore, because she has a boyfriend and only wants to marry him, this is a way for her to avoid marriage proposals."SHREYA!" screamed Neha."Oh my God, Neha, you scared me," I said, placing my hand over my heart."Sorry, but take a look at this. It will look fantastic on you "She spun a dress in front of my eyes that ended before it began."No, Neha, I'm not going to wear this, it's too short," I scrunched up my nose."Did you think I'd give you a suit or a lehenga to wear?" Her brow furrowed."Don't make me do it, Neha; this dress is really short. You already know how much I dislike clubs and parties, and this dress will make me feel even more uneasy.""We're here to make you feel at ease," she said, placing her hand on my shoulder."YOU," I rolled my eyes, "do you remember the last time you abandoned me and went off with your boyfriend without telling me?""Okay, so now you have three options," she said, changing the subject."Fortunately, I have a choice in something," she chuckled.I went through the dresses and chose the one with the longest train. It was a red asymmetrical dress with a round neck that fit my body perfectly. She curled my hair and presented me with a simple jerkin bracelet and a pair of light earrings to wear. I applied my usual light makeup.She was dressed in a lovely white gown with a black design on it.And when we arrived at the club at 9 p.m., Rahul was waiting for us with bated breath."What were you doing?" he inquired."You know, we got stuck in traffic," Neha lied, and I gave her a look.Rahul took my hand in his and looked me in the eyes, saying, "You are looking beautiful today." I simply smiled at the compliment."Rahul, she's always beautiful; now let go of her hand, you're making her uncomfortable." Neha grabbed my hand and dragged me into the club.I'm not sure why, but I sometimes feel uneasy around Rahul. Despite the fact that he is a true gentleman in person. Nonetheless.I shook my head to clear my mind of all the unnecessary thoughts and entered the club.I'm not sure what surprises await me inside!
SHREYA'S POV : I was standing in the corner with Rahul by my side, staring at the traitor Neha, who was happily dancing with her boyfriend, leaving me alone with Rahul, as she had done every damn time. I felt awkward the moment I walked into the club. Perhaps because more than half of the people were inebriated and dancing erratically. I'm not used to this kind of atmosphere, and it makes me feel very uneasy. "Shreya," Rahul called out, jolting me out of my trance. When I didn't respond, he tapped my shoulder and said, "Shreya." "Where are you lost, Shreya. Were you even paying attention to me? I've been talking to you for a long time, and you've been standing quietly. Is everything okay? Are you all right?" Rahul inquired. Oh, Shreya, he's trying to keep you company and make you feel at ease, and you're lost in your thoughts. "Oh, Rahul, I just want water, you know." I clenched my teeth and pursed my li
SHREYA'S POV: I'm not sure how it happened, but I woke up early today and made it to work on time. I wore a simple baby pink kurta with a white salwar. Yes, you read that correctly: I wore a kurta. My mother brought five kurtas for me and instructed me to wear them. Isn't it a dictatorship? This is not right. I scowled. After applying pink lip balm that matched my kurta, I let my hair float freely in the air. My mother was also in a good mood today, and thankfully, she did not create any melodrama. I arrived at the office 10 minutes earlier than usual. While looking for a cab, my eyes caught sight of an elderly lady crying and begging in the middle of the street. I approached her and was about to give her money when she began to cry "I'm hungry, Beta. I haven't eaten anything in three days." I looked for a shop or a food stall, but there were none, so I gave her my lunch to eat, and she devoured it.
Shreya's POV It was lunchtime, and I was getting bored at work. Neha has already quit her job because she is getting married, and she was unable to devote enough time to her boyfriend because of her job. Ansh bhaiya's wife is 8 months pregnant, so he returns home for lunch. Rahul is the only one who has remained. I have no idea where he is and am not in the mood to look for him. I'm not sure why I wasn't in the right mood; perhaps it was because of my periods. Instead of going to the cafeteria, I decided to eat my lunch in my cubicle. Someone tapped me on the shoulder as I was about to open my lunch. "Hmm.....someone looks really lovely in a salwar suit," he winked. "Just shut up, Rahul," I grumbled. "You should wear them more often. You look great in this suit." He began singing the song while sitting beside me in the chair. And I rolled my eyes once more, thinking, "Will he ever
Shreya's POV:GrrrrGhrrrrrrrrGhrrrrrrrrrrrDamn this scooty, you too had to stop working today!Ohh please for God's sake it is Monday."Please start moving, please. I beg you"GhrrrrrrrrGhrrrrrrrrrr"Congratulations Shreya Gupta, this is really a very good start to your week," I said to myself in a sarcastic tone."Can I ever rely on you dhanno?" (scooty name)Ohh yes you heard me right I talk to nonliving things too....Isn't it weird? Huh...who cares....."That's why I always tell you to wake up early so that you would be ready for uncertain things like this" Mom shouted from the house."Ohh please, mom.... I am not in a mood.... please" I said irritated.I walked away from there to catch up on a taxi, rickshaw, or whatever moving vehicle that can leave me to my office.I tried multiple times but couldn't stop
SHREYA'S POVIt is Thursday and the week until now was hell boring.Ansh bhaiya is on parental leave as he is blessed with a baby boy.And you already know about Rahul.It is not like I don't have friends here, it is just that bond that I miss a lot. People here are friends because they have their selfish motives. In the corporate world, people will walk over your dead bodies just to get a promotion. They don't care about anyone's sentiments, all they want is business.And I don't know why people here are jealous of me. This could be because I have got a promotion in a short period. But all this is a result my hard work and dedication towards my work.I was snapped out of my thoughts when my phone started buzzing."Hello""Miss Shreya boss is calling you in his office right now," Boss's personal assistant told me and cut the call before I could say anything.Offo why is
SHREYA'S POVIt is Saturday afternoon and I haven't started with my presentation yet.Yes, you heard me right. The whole damn Friday I was just searching, analyzing, and summarizing the data. To hell with the schedule that I decided.Don't be weak Shreya you can do it.Pushing the negative thoughts away I opened my laptop and started with the first slide.••••••••••••••••••••••••At 4 PM"Shreya, now put your work aside, and let's go with me," Mom said from nowhere."Where?" My eyebrows squinted."For shopping""Excuse me, are you serious Mumma. I am busy with such an important work and you are asking me to go on shopping with you?" I asked in disbelief "I am not going anywhere with you" I declared and resumed my work."But ba
SHREYA'S POV"Wake up Shreya. Today is your presentation and it is 10 (minutes) past 7 AM" My personal alarm (Mumma) called me."Good morning Mumma" I wished her while opening my eyes, stretching my hands and legs and welcoming the new morning."God bless you . Have a nice day". She smiled and I smiled back. Her smile is my favorite thing and I adore it a lot. She is my strength. And I can do anything to see her happy."Now quickly stand up like a good girl and get ready" She left the room saying this.She still talks to me like I am a school-going, girl. Hehe. But I love it.I went straight to take the blessings of Goddess Saraswati. I joined my hands, bowed my head, and prayed for my good day. I generally do not ask her anything because whatever she has given me is more than enough. And I believe that she already knows what I actually want. The most important thing is that I am happy and I just want to stay happy for my whole life.
Atharva's POVI wanted to have some important and private discussion with Raghav(head of the branch in which Shreya currently works) so I left early. I reached there at 10:30 and knocked on the door. Because although I own this branch still there is something called privacy.To my surprise, she was also there in his cabin probably discussing today's meeting.When she looked at me she dropped the files, her eyes became wide, and her lips were parted.I think she was in shock looking at me.I put my hands in the pocket of my pant, locked my eyes with her, and tried to intimidate her."Good morning sir" Raghav interrupted.I looked at his side and wished him "Good morning""What kind of employees do you hire who can't even wish their boss," I asked him indirectly pointing towards the girl standing in front of me."Good morning sir," she said stuttering. Nice effect."Now Shreya just check all the arrangements of
