Advika
Standing in front of the building, the first thing I noticed logo of R. S Group of Industry written in bold letters.
I don't know why but reading this name, a shiver ran down my spine.
Not only the name,but something else too like something is gonna happen.
Just have to figure out that bad or good.
As I started taking a step forward, my heart started beating irregularly.
I am probably nervous. Yeah that's right.
Now my subconscious is rolling her eyes on me for coming up with a stupid excuse.
Come on ! It means, she is stupid too.
Ignoring her, I e termed the building by sliding though the large glass door.
Entering inside, the first thing I noticed is it's infrastructure. Now this is what I say took my breath away.
Even beautiful word won't judge what's in front of me right now.
But like any typical cliché Multimillion company, there was a fake girl sitting at the reception with equally fake eyelashes which she is batting to every single male species passing her.
Geez !!!! Someone is desperate.
She look at me with scrutinizing eyes and again I am back to being nervous.
"Excuse me, I am here for 9:00 am interview." I asked politely.
After hearing me she rolled her eyes muttering something under her breathe.
Okay then.
"Yes, you can take that elevator and go to the top floor." She replied rudely like this is the last thing she wants to do right now.
I am sure batting eyelashes is more important work for her.
I mean what's her problem ? I really wanted to knock some manners in her but Naa, my Maa taught me not to bite back the dogs.
Did I just call her a dog ? Nope .
Its just a saying. (most innocent look I can give)
With that thought, I rushed to elevator to my left side because in right side elevators there was a board sign indicating that's its private.
Probably for boss.
As I entered the top floor, a lady around 40 years old, at the floor reception smiled at me warmly.
"I am Advika Suryavanshi. I am here for the interview." Somehow hinting her that I don't know where to go.
"Of course. I am Ananya. I spoke to you at morning" she replied.
I already like her.
She took me to a hallway and asked me to take a seat and my name will be called.
I saw some thirty girls waiting outside just like me. Each one of them is in her professional attire. I am confident in my work but my appearance compared to them, not so much.
One by one names are called and girls went inside but came out either angry or crying. Now I am having second thoughts about this interview.
But Papa told me not to give up ever even if you fail.
Let's face it.
Suddenly I heard my name being called. Then I noticed that I am the only one left in the hallway for interview.
Raising my chin up, I entered the room.
From what I saw, there are three members sitting behind a large desk and in opposite of them a single chair for the person who will get interviewed.
From the look on their faces, they look tired by now and want this to over as soon as possible.
I mean who wouldn't , they are sitting her for probably 3 hours now.
I handed them my resume and quietly sat on the chair.
The first one to look at my resume is the one sitting in the middle. His eyes held amusement.
And muttered something like "finally".
What ?
My interview went for an hour. I tried to gave them my best answer to their questions.
Finally after the interview, they told to wait outside the room for 5 minutes.
So I went outside and waited for them to come out.
After around 7 mins later, they all came outside with a satisfaction on their faces.
" Advika Suryavanshi, You can start on Monday at 9 am. Our boss doesn't like tardiness ."
It took me some time to digest their words.
After realising that I got the job, I squealed in delight but controlled myself before I make a fool of myself.
They gave me some contract to sign as they are the documents to be filled before joining.
I was so much excited about this job that I didn't even bother to read those and signed it. ( Go on . I am ready for your lecture).
I thanked them and rushed to Ananya to inform her about me getting accepted.
"I am really happy for you. I really wished that you should get this job."
Now I love her.
After that I dashed down the stairs without bothering to wait for the elevator as I was too much excited to inform my Papa and Maa about this that I didn't even want my feet to stop and wait for elevator.
Reaching the lobby in ground floor, I rushed towards the exit.
I was too much excited that I was not not even looking ahead and suddenly collied to a wall.
Wait. Last time I checked there was,no wall in the middle of lobby.
Then I slowly opened my eyes while rubbing my forehead to see the wall wearing a black shirt with a tie.
I think I really hit my head hard.
Its a chest. I knew it. A wall is too good to be true.
Slowly I raised my head to apologise , but I wish I shouldn't have.
A very familiar black orbs are staring at me intensely.
Reyaansh.
I don't know how to respond. I was stunned.
Same in case of him, like he can't believe that I am here in front of him.
Hell, even I can't believe that too.
Coming to my senses, my eyes automatically started checking him out shamelessly.
Even after 5 years, he didn't change at all.
Maybe became more handsome.
He now has this nicely groomed black hair and a concrete jaw occupied by a neatly groomed beard giving a dangerous and powerful aura around him.
He was dressed in professional way, the way his black shirt hugged his body showed that he had a perfectly toned body underneath his shirt.
Really Advika?
Maybe his physical appearance is the only only good thing he has.
But the point is,
What is Reyaansh doing here?
I clenched my fists and closed my eyes to calm down myself.
I don't want to look at this face ever which reminds me havoc this person created in my life.
It reminds me for being a fool to believer his lies, in him.
How easily I served my heart in a silver platter with a bow tied knife in front of him and how he enjoyed cutting it into pieces.
But damn this heart !!
Its still reacting tovhim the same way it used to 5 years ago.
Come on Advika, stop bring a pathetic crybaby ,just like he told once.
I don't care that he is here.
I shouldn't.
After muttering sorry, I tried side stepping him to leave and behave like I never saw him.
But i think he had some other plans.
I barely took 3 steps before I was grabbed by my forearms and forcefully turned me around causing me to collide my head on his chest again.
Are you kidding me ? He really wants to break my skull.
I put my hands on his chest to create some distance between us and trued to push him away but no use.
Its like I am pushing a mountain.
Now that I notice, everyone started looking in our direction stopping every work they were doing.
Why ?
Are we attracting too much attention.
Of course, we are.
Its not like everyday, a man holds a woman like this in the middle of a floor and in front of a crowd.
I was snapped out of thoughts when I felt a warm breath fanning my cheeks.
I tried to move back away from him but suddenly his other hand encircled my waist jerking me forward.
What in the world is he thinking by doing this ?.
I stare at him wide eyes for his actions. It starting making me uncomfortable.
Has he gone mad ? Don't answer that.
Can't he see how we are attracting attention towards us like magnets.
I looked in his eyes to tell him to back off but the look in his eyes stuffed the words deep down in my throat.
His eyes held regret, guilt, anger, complaint and love ?
But why is he angry? It should be the other way around.
And for what he is complaining?
And no it can't be love.
I am still slow to read emotions.
Or maybe he is the one always faking it.
I don't care.
I don't care.
I don't care.
Taking advantage of his state, I somehow managed to remove myself away from him.
When he noticed this, he tried to close the gap by shorting his hand forward to put me back where I was a minute ago.
But I put my palm in front of him in order to stop him from doing that.
Turning back, I repeated the same line I used last time when I saw him,
"It was a mistake."
Saying that I tried to walk away. But his deep voice stopped me in my tracks.
"Nothing was a mistake. Nothing.
You really think now that you are in front of my eyes,I would let you go.
Think again. Because I don't repeat my mistakes.
I will see you again.
Till then enjoy your freedom.
Because soon I am gonna claim My Precious."
That name,it did something to me, to my body, to my mind just like it used to before.
I tried, trust me I did, not to turn around because when I did,
I saw nothing but determination and promise,
which want me to do nothing but hide myself anywhere but away from him.
