Reason to Love

20. No girls

Uday p.o.v.

The sudden opening of the door made me to lift my head.

"Hi buddy!busy like as usual"he said while entering inside.The sudden surprise made me happy.

"well,you say like you are always free"I commented while rushing forward to give him a hug.

"And congrats for your shipping project"Ajay patted my back in appreciation.

"thanks buddy"I said freeing myself from the hug.

"how is your project in Paris is going on and why didn't you tell that you are returning?."I asked him.

he shook is head"it was a sudden decision to come here.you know grandfather had again showed some movements so I rushed here immediately.But like as usual he didn't wake up."he said in a sad tone.

For a moment we both fell into silence.But a clearing of throat sound seeked our attention.We both turned towards the source.Oh...how did I forget that Aadhira was still here.

"Miss Aadhira that design is final and you can leave now"she nodded silently and headed outside.

"she is assistant interior designer of Prem"I told to Ajay whose gaze was on her till she was out of the door.He nodded in response.

Ajay is my best friend,we did our education together since our childhood.His father and my father were best friends.Because of that we too became best friends since the childhood. His dad was the one who helped and mentored me during my initial days in this company.He and his family were great support for our family during my dad's heartattack.Ajay is also handling his family business but his dad is still a CEO.He had been in Paris for a project for last two months,so his sudden arrival had brought an happiness to me.

"hmm...What is that girl's name?"he asked diverting me from my thoughts.

"which girl?"

"The girl who just went out"I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Adhira"

"Where is she from?"he asked with doubtful eyes.

"She is from TamilNadu" why is he asking much about her.His face dropped suddenly by my reply.

"Why are you so curious to know about her." I asked him in suspicious tone.Somewhere I felt no good about his attention to her.I feel something like slight anger towards him for this.But I knew it is unnecessary to feel like that.

"I just felt like I had met her before"I nodded but I felt uneasy by his reply.

After little time together he took his leave to meet my brother and later to his house.Still the feeling didn't get settled.I opened the CCTV footage of our company.I clicked the camera number which I wanted to see.There she was sitting in her cubicle completely involved in her work.Her flawless skin and her little frown on her head makes me watch her forgetting my surrounding.

That day after I recognized her in the conference hall,I rushed towards my cabin and checked the freshers file of interior designers depatment.I was beyond shock when I learnt that her college and my brother's college was same that to same year of graduation.I dialed Yadav immediately for an explanation.He rushed in as soon as I called him and I demanded answers.

He told that she is his best friend and he didn't help her in getting the job.He just informed about the interview and insisted her to try.He also told me little about her personal details,like she lost her parents recently and staying with her uncle family here in Mumbai.She was more vulnerable because of her parents death and in order to help her to recover he told to attend the interview.

That very moment my opinion on her changed little,my heart got softened by the information.When I started to observe her I changed my entire opinion about her.I had watched her work for three months,She was determined and confident,she was kind with other employees and above all she was a strong and bold woman.I had also watched my brother and she going out after office hours.Somewhere I felt angered towards my own brother,they were much close friends for my liking.Three months I had watched her every move in this cctv footage but not even once I showed it out to anybody.

Already its my brother who irritates me unintentionally by being her best friend,next that team leader Shaurya the way he looks at her want me to throttle his neck and above all now my best friend.What's wrong with these guys?

Once I had caught Aadhira and Yadav at the end of the street eating their panipuri with full enjoyment,hitting each other,giggling each other and playing with water from the water bottle.They seemed to be playing like kids but their nearness wanted me to hit something hard.

But my brother already having a girlfriend in college made me sane these many days.wait! girlfriend in college.Did I miss something?how did I miss to link these dots before?both are from same college.He told me that she is a south Indian,Aadhira is also a south Indian.That means is she his girlfriend?do they love each other?Oh god no...But why should I worry about it.I am not interested in any girl.I don't have time for girls and above all I am not ready to trust another girl in name of love.
