Forget 💔 and Love ❤️

Aadhya has come to the office early and started doing her work. She did some calls and fixed some meetings. Rishabh also reached office a little early today as he thought he would talk to Aadhya.

He entered his floor and looked for Aadhya who was writing something sitting on her desk. She was so engrossed in that and didn't notice him. He cleared his throat standing in front of her and she looked up startled.

Her face went blank looking at him and stood up from her seat.

" Good Morning Sir." She said with a straight face.

" Good Morning....I....." He was about to say.

" I will bring your coffee." She said and left.

He sighed and went to his cabin. He doesn't know how to talk to her and apologize her. He stood facing the large glass window and looked at the whole city through it.

" Sir your coffee." She said keeping it on the table.

He turned to her to talk but she was already at the door.

" Aadhya, what happened yesterday was......" He paused thinking how to say it.

" What happened yesterday? Nothing has happened." She said frowning and left his cabin.

She doesn't want to talk to him about it and yesterday she realised that she is getting attached to him as it is making difference to her at whatever he does or says. So, it's better to stay away from him and doesn't let him in.

Whenever she is with him, she lets her guard down unknowingly which is not good for both of them and it shouldn't have hurted her that much at how he behaved with her yesterday.

She knows he is trying to apologise her but she doesn't need any apology and it's better for them if they didn't talk much.

One by one whole staff came and started their usual chatter but once they logged in there were loud gasps and whispers all around. Aadhya almost smiled at their shocked faces and observed their reactions.

Soon the news and whispers spread around the whole office and everyone were talking about the email they got from their boss. Inside, Rishabh frowned at the sudden chaos in the office and called his manager.

"What's going on?" Rishabh asked confused.

" Sir, an email has been circulated to the whole staff......" He replied.

" What email?" He asked.

Then the manager showed him the mail in his phone and Rishabh read it twice in shock. It was the first time ever he saw the intervention of the M.D. in the office matters and that too it came out as she is supporting him.

He didn't know what to think about all this and how come she intervened so suddenly. Though he felt a little relief about the powers he got but he felt somewhere something is missing.

He looked at Aadhya and was surprised to see her smiling to herself. Seeing her smile a smile broke out on his face too and he doesn't know why. He thought that it's good that she cannot see him as only he can see outside through glass otherwise it would have been creepy.

He called on her desk and she picked up.

" Aadhya come inside." He said.

After two minutes she came inside and stood before him.

" Sir." She called him.

" My schedule?" He asked.

" There are no meetings today Sir." She replied with a straight face.

" What? Why?" He asked frowning.

" I guess because you have done the whole week's work yesterday itself." She said blankly and he could sense sarcasm in her words.

" Oh." That's all he could say.

" I will take my leave Sir." She said and turned to leave.

" Wait!" He said and she halted.

" Did you also got the Email?" He asked.

" What Email?" She asked.

" The one which every one got from the M.D." He said.

" Yes." She said.

" What do you think about it?" He asked.

" Well....It looked like a serious warning to me......" She shrugged and he nodded.

" Wait, why are you even asking my opinion Sir?" She asked.

" Why can't I ask?" He questioned standing up from his seat.

" How does my opinion matter?" She asked.

" Why doesn't it matter?" He asked walking towards her.

She huffed and turned to leave but he caught hold of her hand making her stop.

" Are you mad at me?" He asked.

" Why would I be mad at you?" She asked without turning.

" Because yesterday I behaved rudely with you." He said.

" You were rude with everyone yesterday." She said trying to lose his grip on her hand.

" It's not the same." He said making her halt.

" It's same, they are your employees and I am your employee too....." She said and he swiftly made her turn which made her fall on his chest.

He held her close to him and she looked at him with wide eyes.

" Do you still think that it's same?" He whispered looking into her eyes and she nodded her head in yes as she couldn't speak any words.

He held her body against his body touching his forehead with hers while she closed her eyes due to the proximity.

" Now? Do you still feel you are same as everyone to me?" He asked softly inhaling her scent and she stayed silent.

" Think well and answer this time otherwise I might do something else to make you understand." He said and she opened her eyes in a snap.

She looked at their position and pushed him away glaring at him whois smirking at her.

" Don't touch me." She said pointing her finger at him.

" Why? Is it effecting you?" He asked stepping towards her.

" What?" She asked.

" My closeness. Is it effecting you?" He asked taking another step.

" No!" She exclaimed.

" Then why is your heart beating so loudly?" He asked smirking at her.

She kept her hand on her heart and truly her heart was thumping loudly inside her chest.

" Stay away from me." She said and went towards the door to leave.

" I am Sorry." She heard and turned back frowning at him.

" For yesterday, I was angry at their behaviour and I had no right to take it on you....I am Sorry." He said sincerely.

" Sir, like I said earlier......you are the boss and I am the employee, so there is nothing for you to say sorry......" She said.

" Not again! Can you not please take  this as a boss and employee relationship?" He asked exasperated.

" Why not?" She asked crossing her arms.

" Do I need to prove it to you again?" He asked moving close to her.

"No! Stay away from me." She said stepping back and quickly ran out of his cabin with a racing heart.

He chuckled to himself but today he actually got to know that she means so much to him and he will not let go of her even if she pushes him away which she will do for sure.

After his encounter with Aadhya, she didn't come to his cabin and all the work was done in the phone calls only. She even left for home without informing him which he found it funny. But he knows he had to be careful with a girl like Aadhya who looks tough from outside but actually is like cotton from inside.

She is like a sensitive glass piece which may break anytime and he should protect her with all his might. He had already done a terrible mistake by behaving like a jerk to her and he had hit her sensitive spot which is Aman. It might have hurted her a lot sitting here working while her whole being is worried about Aman.

Next day, she didn't even bring his morning coffee. She had just sent it through the office boy and sat there on her desk like nothing had happened. Though he felt bad that she is avoiding him, he felt happy too that he had effect on her and to bring out emotions in a girl like Aadhya itself is an accomplishment.

He sighed and called on her intercom.

"Aadhya come inside." Saying this he cut the call.

She knocked on his door after 5 minutes and came inside.

" Check this file. Make a copy of this and keep it with you." He said and she nodded taking the file.

She looked at him frowning as he was just doing his work quietly without annoying her.

"What?" He asked raising his brows.

"Anything else Sir?" She asked unsure.

" Do you want something else too?" He asked acting confused suppressing his smile.

"Nothing." Saying this she left quickly.

She is a tough nut to crack and he decided to make sure of his feelings before approaching her.

In the past he thought that he would not do relationships and will not get married but now he should rethink about it if he wants to be with her. He should decide what he wants clearly first inorder to step forward towards her.

He had thought he just likes her but on the day of his parents anniversary he felt void without her and he couldn't even stay there without her presence. His feelings towards her are strong and he couldn't even describe the feeling he gets whenever she smiles at him.

He knows he is falling for her and he also knows that she will push him away if she comes to know about it. He had to approach her carefully and try to know what she feels about him. He can make a move only if he is sure about his and hers feelings towards each other.

And for that he decided he would give time and know what exactly is between them.

On the other side, Aadhya was also drowned in confusion and mixed feelings. She knows she likes him but nowadays it's like she is getting pulled towards him like a magnet. There is a strong emotion she is feeling for him but she is scared to admit that she is falling for him.

Next day, he came to the office and frowned looking at the empty chair of Aadhya. It's already 10:30 am and she is still not here. He thought maybe she had some work and went to his cabin.

Surprisingly everyone are working sincerely and he thought that it's because of that mail they all received.

He was doing his work but his heart was with her and he was shocked at himself that he is missing her so much. He keeps looking at her desk now and then to see whether she had come.

He checked his phone for her messages but they were none and he was getting impatient minute by minute. It was 12 pm and he couldn't hold it any longer. He called on her mobile but she didn't pick up. He kept calling and it kept ringing but she didn't answer.

Now he was worried and he waited for her call but he didn't get any. He immediately got up and went towards elevator taking his car keys. He started his car and drove towards her house.

When he reached her house, he immediately rang the door bell and waited for her. He got worried when she wasn't opening the door and rang the doorbell again and again.

" Who is it?" He heard and turned to see a familiar person.

He remembered him as her driver.

"Is Aadhya....I mean your madam, Is she inside?" He asked pointing towards the house.

" Yes Sir." He replied.

" Then, why is she not opening the door?" He asked.

" She must be sleeping Sir.....I will take you inside." Saying this driver opened the door for him with the spare keys.

Rishabh went inside and looked around for her.

That time only Aadhya came out of her room to open the door hearing the doorbell.

" Madam, Someone has come for you." Driver said and went away.

She frowned and walked towards the living room. She stood stunned seeing Rishabh standing there in the middle of the room staring at her.

" Sir, what are you doing here?" She asked walking towards him.
