Hopelessly Devoted to You

Buzz Killer

It's been a whole week since Nandani joined the office. Things were going great, I have to admit she is really hard working and is a speedy learner. Just in 4 days time she took over the things and now was handing everything gracefully. I don't know why I feel fascinated to her. Her clothes, her ear rings, her bangles everything makes me happy. She is extremely talented, the way she designed her cabin. I am totally impressed. Why don't Alya dress up like her. 

Gosh Alya and Mom are pestering me so much lately for the marriage. But I am not ready yet, and maybe I won't ever be. Alya isn't just my type, she isn't someone I look as my future. I don't want her, I don't know why Mom don't understand this. I reached inside my room and waited for Nandani to enter, I don't know why I want her around always. What the hell is going on with my heart. I heard a knock, "Come in.." And there she was looking serene as usual, her earrings twinkling in her ear and her bangles making soft noises. 

"Good Morning Mr. Kapoor.." I nodded my head and took the cup from her hand, my hand slightly brushing with her making me feel unknown emotions. "What's today's Schedule?" I ask her and she started telling me what was up for the day. There was a lunch meeting outside with client. "You are coming along, make the reservation at the Oberoi around 1:00 and inform this to the client and don't forget to carry their file along.." She  nodded her head in a yes. "Anything else Mr. Kapoor.." I dismissed her from my cabin but couldn't dismissed from my thoughts.

Even Cabir and Mukti kept talking about her every time, she did know how to make her way to someone's heart. I started going through some files when my phone rang. It was Mom. I so want to ignore it but I know that will lead to world war 3 so I decided against it and picked up the phone.

Manik - Hello Mom

Neyonika - Hello Manik where are you?

Manik - It's a Monday Mom where will I be, in office of course

Neyonika - Fine, I want you to have lunch with Alya and her parents at her home.

Manik - Sorry Mom but I can't.

Neyonika - Look Manik I have already confirmed them, don't embarrass me. I said you are going that means you are going that's it.

Manik - God Mom what is  wrong with you, how could you confirm something without even asking me, I have a very important lunch with a client and I am not going to bail out on that just because of some stupid lunch plans that you have made

Neyonika - Alya and her family is not stupid, fine you cannot make it at lunch then I am calling them over at dinner at ours and you are not bailing on that. We really have to talk.

Manik - Whatever, I am busy right now please excuse me.

I slammed the phone on the table. Does she really don't care about my happiness, why she has to be so mean. My mood was totally spoiled and I feel murderous right now. I was going through a contract that I have to sign and send today itself, I saw a spelling mistake in the name of the client. It wasn't that big of a thing cause I haven't signed it yet. Also Nandani is new such mistakes can happen with anyone. But I was already angry and needed someone to vent out my anger, Nandani seemed the best available option.

So I did which I wasn't suppose to do, "Ms. Sharma, Ms. Sharma..." She immediately came out of her cabin, "Yes Mr. Kapoor, what's wrong?" I threw the file in front of her. "Seriously this is how you are going to prepare the contract files, without even putting on the correct names. Do you think I am so free that I will be going through each and every file to point such mistakes.." She seemed scared, "I am sorry Mr. Kapoor, I will just fix it.."
