Sameera's P. O. V.

Nikhil pulled the chair for me, just like a gentleman.

"Thankyou!!" I thanked him as I sat on the chair. He then went and sat on the other chair.

I don't know why I am feeling so nervous today. Maybe because I still don't know whether to confess to him about the feelings I have for him or let it go. A part of me said go for it but the other part was nervous as hell.

"So, how's your work going on?" I started the conversation.

"It's going well but it's too tiring." He whined.

"Yeah," I responded, "I know you are going busy these days."

"No, it's nothing like that," he said, "I am always free for you." He winked with that.

Oh god no! This is giving me hopes.

"Well, I wanted to tell you something Sam." He continued.

"Even I had to tell you something. "

"Okay! Go for it."

"You said before that you wanted to talk so you say. "

"It's okay! You speak."

Afer four rounds of ordering each other, I took courage and spoke up.

"Umm...well I wanted to tell you... that... I wanted to say that..." The waiter interrupted me in between.

He gave us the menu and filled our glasses of water. He asked for the order but Nikhil told him to wait.

"So what were you saying?" Nikhil questioned.

I drank some water and said, "Nikhil, actually I like...." Before I could complete my sentence which in so many years I could manage to get out of me, was interrupted by someone.

"Hi Nikhil! It's been so long!" Lisa, Daughter of Nikhil's Business Partner said while he stood up to hug her. She was wearing a blue stripped
A-lined dress which reached just below her knees. She paired it with a black purse and heels.

"Oh hi Sameera, how are you?" She said while giving me a polite hug as well.

"I am fine. How are you? And what a coincidence? It's been years!"

"Coincidence? Nikhil invited me. You didn't know?" She said getting confused.

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you Sameera, it's been so long all of us have met together...so I invited her as well."

"Oh it's completely fine! Don't worry." I lied. It wasn't fine at all. I don't even know Lisa well. How can he invite her as well. I made it clear to him I guess that I want to meet him alone. Didn't I?

The atmosphere was really awkward among us since clearly both Lisa and I didn't want each other but Nikhil seemed to be unaware as he continued his small talks with Lisa.

After she went to the washroom, Nikhil said, "I am really Sorry I asked her to come as well without asking you. Actually she wanted to join and I didn't want to say no. You know she is my partner's daughter, right?" Maybe he was aware that I was feeling awkward. He noticed.

We left after a while. I was disappointed that after making so much efforts I was finally ready to confess my feelings to Nikhil but I was interrupted. But I will do it soon.

Nikhil dropped us home. The moment I entered inside the house, I saw Kriti was sitting on the sofa and the moment she saw me she raised her eyebrows with a naughty expression on her face.

I took her inside my room and the moment we entered she began questioning me.

"How was your date? Did you propose him? What was his reaction? What did he say? Did he accept your proposal? Will you say something? I am getting excited. What happened yaar?"

"You will let me tell anything then only I will tell something." I said her.

"Ok tell fast."

I told her everything.

"How can you like such a guy Sam? He literally invited another girl to your date!!"

"It wasn't exactly a date." I protested.

"Whatever. He still shouldn't have had done that."

I agree. But he is Nikhil. Nikhil Ahuja. I can never not like him.

After talking for sometime, she left.

I was just sitting on my bed brooding and scrolling Instagram. I cringed at the dresses some of the models were wearing. They literally had no taste and fashion sense.

There was suddenly a knock on my door. It was my mom.

"Sameera go and drop this file to your Dad. He forgot to take it." She said showing me a file.

"Send someone else." I answered without even glancing at her.

"If someone was available I wouldn't have asked you. Now go and give it to him."

"Fine!" I said irritated. "I will go."

I reached his office and gave Dad the file. While I was leaving I saw Aayansh and an employee talking.

"Is the documents ready?" The employee asked Aayansh.

"Yes sir." He said showing him the file which had the documents.

"Okay. Keep it with you and bring it when the meeting will start." He ordered Aayansh and left.

I instantly had an idea and so I went towards him and said,

"Oh hello Monkey!" I called him.

"What is it Sameera now?" He asked irritated.

"Sameera Ma'am! Get it? And Mr. Saxena wants to see you." I told him.

"But there is a meeting right now."

"Yes, he wants to see you before the meeting starts and when you meet him tell him not to tell me to do anything related to you." I said the last bit especially to make it believable.

He looked at the documents in his hand and kept it on his desk before moving towards Mr. Saxena's office.

The moment he left I looked at the documents and took all the papers leaving the first two pages and went to Dad's cabin to hide. He was already gone to attend the meeting in the meeting room.

Aayansh's P. O. V.

I knocked on Mr. Saxena's door, and asked him why he called me, but he denied that he wanted to see me. Ofcourse Sameera lied to me. Maybe so that I get late for the meeting. She and her silly tactics! She is not going to win from me. So, I rushed to my desk, picked up the file and went to the meeting room.

When the meeting was almost over, Samar sir asked me to give him the file I prepared and I handed it to him. He looked at the documents but suddenly his expression changed. I couldn't say what was the matter. Did I make any mistake?

"Gentlemen please give me two minutes, I want to talk to my employee." He said before calling me out with him.

"What is this Aayansh?!" He screamed at me the moment we were out.

"Sorry Sir! I didn't get you. What's the problem?" I asked him confused.

"What's the problem?! You ask! Look at it yourself." He said handing me the file still shouting at me.

I took the file and looked at it to find that there was nothing inside. All the pages were missing. Just before the meeting when I looked at it, everything was fine. But I don't know what happened. I apologised to Sir and asked him to give me a few minutes to find all the documents, thinking I might have dropped them on my way the meeting room which was highly unlikely. The documents can't fall from the file.

"Whatever it is, bring the documents in just five minutes. I am handling everyone inside." He said before storming inside the meeting room. I have disappointed him and it was clearly visible on his face.

I made my way towards my desk looking around the floors searching for the papers but it wasn't there.

The moment I reached my table, I saw Sameera sitting on my chair with a smirk on her face. I didn't understand why she was actually sitting on my desk first, but then I saw the papers I have been looking for in her hands. I connected the dots and understood that it was her plan since the beginning so that I get scolded by Samar Oberoi.

I was going to snatch the papers from her hands, but before I could, she rolled the papers and threw it just the way I had thrown her cell phone, and the papers directly went to the dustbin in the corner of the room. I must say it was a nice shot but my blood was boiling. I was too mad to admire the shot. Ignoring my rising temperament, she simply said, "Enjoy," and made her way towards the exit of the office.

"Sameera!" I called after her but she completely ignored me.

I went and picked up the papers from the bin. Luckily the papers didn't get dirty.

Even after the meeting Mr. Saxena was still mad at me and I didn't know what to do.

It's all because of Sameera Oberoi. This is not done Sameera! You messed with my work and I am not gonna spare you!

At the end of the day, I finally decided to confront him.

I knocked at his door and entered the room.

"I am very disappointed in you Aayansh. This wasn't expected from you. How could you be so careless?"

"Sorry sir! But it wasn't my fault, actually yesterday I met your daughter, and accidentally her phone broke and she wanted to take revenge from me. She isn't understanding that it was accident what could I do?" I told him twisting the story a little bit and making a guilty face.

"How does this have any connection with the papers, Aayansh?" He asked confused.

"Sir, because to take revenge from me, she took the papers. I found it in the dustbin!" I informed him.

After a long silence, Mr. Oberoi's said, "I should have known Sameera. She would do something like this. Don't worry Aayansh, I will talk to her." He said with disappointment in his eyes. But this time it wasn't meant for me.

I left the room with a smirk after thanking him.

Sameera's P. O. V.

I was laying on my bed with headphones listening to my favourite music. I started shouting along with the song when suddenly someone took my headphones away.

"What's wrong Mom?" I screamed asking my mom the reason why she took my headphones over my ears.

"I am calling you since then, and you don't even have the time to respond." She said in a strict tone. "Your Dad wants to talk to you. Go fast he is in a very bad mood."

"Uffff....now what!" I showed my displeasure and went to the living room.

"What happened Dad?" I asked him in a loud voice the moment I saw him.

"What happened? You are asking that! What did I do? That should be your question." He said angrily.

"What did I do Dad?" I asked him getting irritated.

"See, after doing so much she has the audacity to ask. What did I do to deserve a daughter like this?" He screamed looking towards my mother. Didn't he only say me to ask that question?

"What's the matter Samar?" My Mom asked really concerned for me.

"Ask your daughter, what was she doing in my office today." He growled still looking at my mom.

"What was I doing in the office today. It was for your file only I had to...." I asked irritatedly when I remembered. No he can't tell Dad. No no how can he. He must be upset about something else. Of course Aayansh wouldn't have had told him anything.

"What's the matter Dad?" I asked him softly in my cute puppy voice.

"What is the matter..."

"Sorry Dad!" I said before anything else happens. Of course that Aayansh said everything to him. He couldn't have been this angry if it was something else.

"Now miss Sameera remembers what's the matter." He said sarcastically.

"Dad that Aayansh is very irritating. He broke my phone and you didn't even said anything to him. I just wanted you to scold him. Nothing else. That's all." I said trying to explain him though I know it's useless but worth a try.

"That's all?! That's all for you? You can't even understand the difference between doing something accidentally and intentionally. And so you have started spoiling my business for your stupid revenge and all!" He asked angrily. I have never seen Dad this mad at me before. It's usual of him scolding me and getting mad at me but today was much more worse for me.

"But Dad, it was intentional! He threw my phone on the other side of the room!"

"Shut up Sameera Oberoi! Shut up! I am just fed up with this girl."

And I am fed up with you! He would never believe me. Anybody would say anything about me and he would believe them. It's so usual now. He has the right to be mad at the fact that it was his important documents but atleast he can believe me when I am saying that, that monkey intentionally broke my phone!

"But what has she done Samar?" Mom asked again as she was confused what we were talking about.

"This girl has the audacity to throw my important documents in the dustbin." He told mom.

I chuckled at that remembering the look on Mr. Ayan's face! But my timing was wrong.

Dad's gaze was back at me with way more anger than before. I immediately stopped my fit. I couldn't stop chuckling. It was damn funny and that look on Aayansh Singhania's face. How can I not laugh. But I had to control myself.

"It was so embarrassing for me and you are laughing. Really Sameera this is my last warning to you. Leave my business away from this stupid fights and revenge of yours. You are becoming so egoistic. And one day it is gonna be bad for yourself only."

"Okay Dad!" I replied pretending to make a serious face!

"And you are going to apologise to Aayansh!" He said finnally.

"No I am not!" I shouted but he ignored me and went back to whatever shit he was doing. This clearly meant that there's no scope of further discussion and his dicision is final.

I can't apologize to Mr. Aayansh Singhania! But I will have to.
