"I'm only responsible for what i say, not what you understand..."

I saw her walking while being completely occupied in the file she was reading and as usual, she was about to bump into someone. I watched her apologize for the millionth time, yet continue to do the same thing again. Letting out a loud sigh I muttered, “She could learn from her mistakes and look up while she’s walking but no! Miss. Anika will never change.” Instantly, I tried stopping my lips from curving into a smile but yet once again, all in vain. One would have expected me to get used her and not blush at the slightest mention…

I stared out the car window recalling how Shivaay had saved me, the way he hadn’t though twice before pushing me out of the way, even though it resulted in horrifying burns on his hand. I had always watched Shivaay care for Rudra immensely and had sometimes even unwantedly envied Rudra for getting such bottomless love from Shivaay.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse, I felt a piercing pain in my head. I knew that I shouldn’t take a lot of stress, but finalizing this deal was very important for me to keep walking up the steps towards success. I had just closed my laptop and was heading towards my medicine box to get a painkiller when my eyes landed on her earing. I gently picked it up and didn’t try to stop my smile from covering my face. She was a charming bag filled with laughter and playfulness and the Oberoi Mansion would simply…

I stared out the window noisily munching on some chips. The sight in front of me was of a couple holding hands and laughing their hearts out and I could not help but be a bit jealous. It was true that whenever my friends would bring out the topic of love, I would simply roll my eyes and tell them that I didn’t believe in love. But, somewhere deep down inside, even I wished for a prince charming that would love me more than anyone else in this world. However, being the realistic and practical person I was, I knew…
