GENRE- ROMANCE +MYSTERY +DRAMA-SLOW BURN
CHAPTER 1: THE RAINY NIGHT AND NEW JOB
Allisha Denial never believed that one rain-soaked night could change her entire life.
The rain was pouring heavily that night. The cold wind was hitting her face.Allisha was standing infront of a big coffee shop,her old umbrella was broken.Her interview dress was completely wet. She had lost her third interview in a week.
Her phone rang.It was her mother.
"Allisha,did you get the job? " Her mother asked in a worried voice.
Allisha controled her tears."No,Maa.They said they will call me."
She cut the call.Her family was very poor Her father was sick.She was the only one who could support her family.She had tried to get many jobs in the last two months but nothing was working.
At that same moment, a black Roll Royce stopped infront of her.The glass window went down slowly.
A man was sitting inside.He looked to be around 28 years old.He was wearing a black expensive suite.His eyes were cold and sharp.He was handsome but his face had no smile.It was rude and arrogant.
He was Dravid Grover.The youngest and most powerful businessman in the city.The CEO of Grover Industris.
He looked at Allisha for a second. Then his assistant, an old man came out of tha car with an umbrella.
"Are you Allisha Denial? From today's interview at Zenith Company? " the old man asked.
Allisha nodded,confused. "Yes...but how..."
Mr. Grover wants to meet you.we have a job offer for you.
Allisha was shoked.She had not even applied to Grover Industris.It was the biggest company in the city.No one gets a job so easily.
Next Day- Grover Industries
The building was like a palace made of glass.Allisha entered wearing her only good salower kameez. She was nervous.
She was taken to the 50th floor.The office of Dravid Grover.
Dravid was sitting on his chair,looking at some file. He didn't even look up.
"So, you need a job badly" he said in a cold voice.
"Yes,Sir"Allisha whispered.
" I need a personal assistant .Your work is simple.Follow my schedule, manage my meeting and most importantly..."
He finally looked up.His eyes were as cold as ice.
"Never ask about my past and never ask about my family. That is my only rule,If you brek this rule you will loss this job in one second.Understood? "
Allisha nodded quickly. "Yes Sir, I will never ask."
"Your salary will be 60,000 rupees per month,he said"
Allisha's eyes became wide.60,000! She had never even dreamed of his much money,with this money she could pay for her father's medicine and her family's rent easily.
"Thank you sir,thank you so much" she said with tears in her eyes.
"Don't thank me,just do work properly.You can start from today."
From that day,Allisha joined as the personal assistant of Mr.Grover.
The first week was very hard.Dravid Grover was very rude.He whould shout if a file was one minute late.He never smiled.He worked 16 hours a day.But Allisha tried her best.She wanted to follow his rule perfectly.
One evening, everyone had left the office.It was raining again outside. Allisha was arranging some files in Dravid's personal cabin.Dravid was in a meeting downstairs.
Suddenly,one of the file fell down.All the papers scattered on the floor.
"Oh,No!" Allisha quickly bent down to take them up.When she was Picking up the papers she noticed that the bottom drawer of his desk was slightly open.It was locked always,but today it was open.She knew his rule but curiosity is dangerous thing.Inside the drawer,there was one thing,an old envelop. Her hands were shacking. She should close it but she didn't.
She slowly opened the envelop. Inside,there was a photograph.No,it was a handmade sketch.
Allisha's heart stopped beating. A woman in the sketch looked exactly like her,the same eyes,the same nose,the same long hair.But this sketch looked very old.At least 15-20 years old.
who was this woman?Why does Dravid have a sketch of someone who looks exactly like me? Before she could think more, she heard a cold angry voice behind her."What are you doing in my cabin?"
Allisha jumped,the sketch fell from her hand.Dravid was standing at the door.His suit was wet from the rain.His eyes were not just cold now.He walked towards her very fast and picked up the sketch from the floor.
He shouted,"Who told you to open my drawer?" His voice was so loud that Allisha started shshivering."I....I found it in your drawer,the drawer was... opened, the file fell...I am sorry,Sir".For a second, his cold eyes were filled with fear and pain.A fear that Allisha had never seen in the most powerful man in the city.
Allisha could not speak.Tears were flowing from her eyes.Dravid was silent for a long time,then he whispered in a cold voice,"That photograph was never meant for you to see."
Allisha stood frozen.Her heart was beating so fast.Dravid's face had no emotion,but his eyes..his eyes were hiding a big pain.
What Allisha doesn't know is that.......
Is Allisha's arrival in Dravid's life really just a coincidence? Or Is there a reason he has been waiting for her for Twenty five years?
Only Dravid knows the truth.
