While on the other hand, Manik's schedule was busy. It was a mess but unlike the few days, today he was at peace coz his mind was relaxed regarding the p.a thing. At 8.00 pm Manik got up from his chair to leave the office.
He got up from his chair to leave, he picked up his phone and that's when his gaze fell on the glass of water. He took a big sip from it and left but as soon as he passed by his table, he stopped for a moment, turned around to look at the table and found a white paper.
He picked that up and opened it to see Nandini's details in it. He kept staring at her name unknowingly but after 2 mins he came back on earth and kept the paper back and turned to leave. He took 2 steps but came back.
He picked up the paper in a blink of eye and stuffed it in his jacket pocket in a shwift, as if anybody will see his this action or if his subconscious mind shouldn't know about his this action or else it might poke him. He left the cabin and came down all the time thinking abt Nandini.
He came down, his driver waiting for him with the door open, Manik sat in and soon they were heading towards home. While he was sitting, he was looking outside but he was lost in Nandini. His mind recalled the day when he first saw her.
The composed Nandini, sitting on the mattress, lost, claded in complete white outfit. Her fair skin along with black long hair, no make up, her actual beauty. There was something about her, that shined even at the state of mourning.
His mind was stuck on that image only, when his phone pinged. Searching for his phone,he picked it up to see a message from shlok that said "thanks for the job 🙂". Manik smiled and replied "your welcome".
Keeping his phone back in his pocket, Manik again got lost in Nandini. He remembered the last time he thought abt Nandini at the club. Being hell worried and tired coz of no p.a, Manik reached the club to calm himself down and to find a solution to it.
When he met shlok at the club, the conversation that they started out of nowhere and then his proposal to appoint Mr Mohan's p.a., after he left from there, suddenly he felt that what abt the girl he saw at the funeral. Who was she, was shlok talking abt her but one thing was clear, that this conversation was a sign from god and the whole thing had a purpose in it.
With an unsettled feeling, the next day appeared. With a hope to see the same girl, Manik left for office, his anxiety increased when shlok messaged him that the girl is coming to his office.
The whole time, how he controlled himself was known to him only. With great difficulty he concentrated on work but soon the receptionist came to inform him about her arrival. Manik was excited all of a sudden but composed himself.
But his eyes didn't leave the sight of the door. With passing second, he waited for the door to open and that moment came when he heard the knock. Not to look like an flirt, he looked at his file and asked the person to enter.
Even though he seemed to be busy in file, Manik could see the door a little. He saw feet of a girl and couldn't wait more and immediately looked at the face of the girl and there she was. A big smile was abt to break on his lips but he managed to control it but instantly got confused as he thought such a beautiful girl to be a care taker.
Anyways they had a conversation and he realised that she had a sweet tone. After this not so formal interview, Manik was happy that he got a p.a but more than that he was happy reason yet not known to him. Nandini left and he got busy with work but now when he have that chit of her details, he couldn't stop thinking abt her.
He opened the chit and looked at her name non stop. After a very long time his gaze fell on the address. He read and read the address, after 3rd time he could imagine the whole locality. The locality was quiet nice but was far away from the office.
Before he could think more, his driver told him that they reached, that's is why he got down and headed towards the elevator where the watchman was waiting for him with the lift. He reached home, opened it with the key and entered in to find it completely quiet.
At times, this silence was not liked by him but he can't help. The house was dimmly lighted which looked beautiful. The house was more than clean, he simply climbed the stairs and reached his room.
Keeping his phone beside the table close to bed, he kept the chit too under his phone and then went to get fresh. After coming out in his track pant and tee, he came down, warmed his food, filled a glass of wine and sat at the dining table.
He started eating his spaghetti and salad along with sipping the wine. He was looking nowhere and eating. Finishing his food, he kept the use plate and glass beside the sink and left to his room after closing all the lights. Coming in his room, he brushed his teeth and cleaned himself and then came to bed, he laid down straight thinking nothing.
He picked up his phone after a while and that is when the chit fell, he picked that up and again started staring at her address. Suddenly he got an idea and called one of his broker. He arranged a nice flat for Nandini, 10 mins away from his home.
Again his mind remembered her and one thing he felt was Nandini was not an introvert, not even shy at the extreme to not talk at all. The calm and composed self of her was something different. It was not usual but can't be counted under the insanity category. To know the reason behind her calm self, he need to know her but then he thought why does he need to know her, when they just have professional relationship. Thinking all this he slept unknowingly.
Next morning, Nandini woke up and off her alarm. Getting up, she made her bed and then headed to get a shower. Taking a shower, she changed in an outfit not for office and did the house work. Then she cooked breakfast and lunch for herself.
She ate the breakfast and packed the lunch, then she got changed in her office attire, did a little make up and made way towards Manik's home. Since it was her first time to this new place, she had booked an auto, which was waiting for her.
Nandini sat and drove, since the location was added, the auto driver drove to that place, he bought her to the locality but for the building they had to search and look at the address. That's when Nandini read his address. At first it didn't click her.
After lots of mini stops and hunting, she finally reached his building. Paying the fare. She entered in the building, off course after answering in detail abt her job and all to the guard both at the gate and at the building entrance. Then she made way and now she had to stop at the floor. Now when Nandini looked at the floor, her eyes went wide but she managed to press the button.
When the lift was in motion that is when Nandini realised and read the entire address. She realised that due to first day hunting and stuff, she couldn't understand the reality of the address but then again she realised that he is a celebrity and one of the richest man in Asia. Him leaving at such a place should not be a surprise.
Nan-wow........so Mr Manik Malhotra lives in a pent house........
She moved her head in amusement.
