(CHAPTER 13)  (Work From Home)

Siya Leaves The Cab after waving Good Night to Raj and Riya. Then walks ahead till she reaches the main gate of her apartment she lives on the 3rd floor of the building. With her Mother. She then takes the Elevator. Reaches the 3rd floor. And then she unlocks the door with her passcode. As it's already midnight her mother is already asleep. She then goes to the kitchen and drinks some water. While drinking she thinks something in her mind. After drinking water. She goes inside her room and changes to her night clothes. And keeps things aside. Then she turns on her night lamp. As she fears sleeping in complete darkness. Then she lies down. Her face facing to the ceiling fan. In a straight position. She thinks about what happened today. The enjoyment after a long time. Since Her Past. But something strange comes into her mind. She thinks about Raj like how could he talk so easily to her. And the attitude he has. Like he's not Rihann who is top most handsome or something. But still she thinks. He comes to me talks like he controls me or something. He jokes with me even tho I'm senior to him. She also thinks how she was hypnotize by the performance of Raj in The Mall. She also thinks about how he talks with her. She doesn't understand why is she even thinking about him at midnight without any reason. She felt something. But she doesn't know what it is. Yet. She also thinks the guy she saw outside the office was a different Raj she didn't expect. Not ambitious but a straight forward funny guy. Who cracks silly jokes and thinks he's the best or something kinda. She was smiling the whole time thinking this. She realises then what is she doing. She also has work tomorrow. So now she stops thinking and slowly falls asleep.

Riya goes inside her home with a alot of happiness after today's events but also a little sadness about what just happened outside. But anyway she sees everyone is sleeping expect her brother who is sitting at the dining hall working. She goes from behind to talk him. Her brother is working on some pdf on his laptop. She Then asks about planning a suprise dinner tomorrow at Her Dad’s favourite Restaurant. Her brother who was working just listening to her gets a little shocked when he hears it. Then He Moves his face from his laptop to his sister. And said Surprise? And You? From where did Sun came today. Or Am I Dreaming!? He said laughingly just then Riya hit him on his hands Said Ishan! Then he replies oh okay I'm not dreaming I guess but really Riya? What happened? A surprise party? You never did something like this in long long time! I mean did you found some dream boy or something in your new office? Hearing this somehow this time doesn't make Riya Sad but rather angry! Said No! You being childish Why Can't I Plan a Surprise Party? For my dad and everyone! And it's not because of any Boy or any stupid stuff you have in your weird mind. It is because I just found a great job in one of most top firms in the city. With a good pay. I mean I can least throw a small surprise dinner! Right? Afterall it took a long time and much much hardwork to find this job. His brother agrees to this. And said Yeah you are Right. We should do this then! But tomorrow won't be too early? Let's do it on The Sunday maybe? No then she insisted tomorrow is better the early the better. She wants to do it. So after that she can focus on her work! And she can't wait! She wants to see everyone happy! Seeing excitement in her eyes. Her brother was bit shocked. But was deeply happy that her sister finally moving on! Being happy again! And maybe slowly forgetting Her Dark Past! He prays in his mind that hopefully she would find her Dream and Suitable Together Forever Guy Soon! Anyway after that she tells him the plans and everything that he has to bring everyone in tomorrow. She will be there.! He said okay and then he said now goto to sleep you have work tomorrow. And I will handle everything! Riya then said you too. But just then before leaving She Hugs her brother Tightly. Said Thank You So Much for always caring for me! Even Though you are the little one. I should be one to step up. But you are! Thank You being always there! For me! Her brother smiles and said I'm always here and now goto sleep. Have a nice sleep. Then she goes into her bedroom and changes to night clothes and keep things aside. And jumps to the bed kinda! Her face shining in the night like the moon. Even now. She's is so happy today but just then a thought cross her mind which Disturbed Her that What and How Raj did and made her feel! She feels anxious and scared and depressed all of sudden all thoughts comes in her mind One by One. That What Raj did today at the mall. She felt something like She Felt way before it was like a Similar Experience Before. She felt broken and feeling bad. Just then she thinks about The Moment Just Happened Outside. How When Raj said the words of his magical poetry. She was lost in him for a moment looking at his face. Like something attracted her to about him. She can't think like this she said to herself I know I can never love someone nor will someone love me! I'm broken will be broken! I know! I know! She said now tears coming out of her eyes all of a sudden. Just then she thinks About How Raj was going to say something at the time. Thinking about this right now made her Heartbeat Higher. She said what would he would say? How would I face him? What would I have said? Like No you are not good! She thinks Raj is a great guy he deserves all the love he’s sweet and caring and helping and funny! But she thinks he’s deserves someone better not someone broken like me. Who will maybe never love him. Like he would! And like she said! I don't even think he would! Love me! Maybe he’s just attracted to me! But she said why would he be attracted to me. Like I'm not even funny nor iam most beautiful girl in the office she thinks Siya much better too in terms of look and everything. Afterall she just joined she’s a newbie. She thinks then I'm not good talker! I'm not the best person! Maybe I'm the worst person to be around afterall my family is with me because I'm there child unless who would really love and care for me! She then thinks Why Am Like this? Why iam broken! This happened That Day! Everything Broke I Broke! I felt I lost everything! Every hope! Everything that is called Love felt silly and disgusted to me after that day! Maybe! Still maybe I survived! Somehow! She thinks. I feel bad even maybe when I wanted to love somebody I don’t think I could ever do now. She feels bad about Raj! But somehow she stops crying and thinks like this has not happened like all of this! Raj stopped but maybe she has to keep a distance from him so he won't get attract to me alot maybe! She thinks but then she thinks. That I'm just overthinking this! It's all good and fine! Raj is not that kind of a guy! Her Eyes gets Dry now! Her crying stopped. She takes a deep breath. Then she realises she has work to do tomorrow. Alot of Work. So she then stops thinking everything. Forgets. Just for the moment thinks about the good stuff that happened! Where Raj was there. The poetry she liked! The fun! Of talking in that night long conversation. Somehow she thinks that she only thinking about Raj! Nothing else like Siya or anyone but maybe because this was more memorable she thinks. Anyways just thinking like this she slowy and slowly she falls asleep as well.

Raj sits inside the Cab closes the door. Tells the Cab Driver the OTP leaves for his home. While on his way Home. He starts to thinks about Today's Events How he enjoyed so much and also won the competition but the thing going in his mind the most is walking with Riya and thinking about the words he was going to say. He now thinks in his mind what where you thinking Raj!! You dummy! What where you going to say there. He then thought about how he felt so happy and magically attracted to Riya like how beautiful she is and the closeness! He Felt Was Like he wanted to ask her out kinda but he then stopped at the right moment! Now he thinks in his mind and said. Peww Glad! I didn't spill out the words. I was going to make ashame of myself in front of her! Like she’s so good looking and beautiful. She must have boyfriend or even if she does not. Why she would choose me? I mean I look good enough but she’s like out of the league. She's super cute humble! And what am I? a talktive and funny ambitious joker clown! In front of her. Like now he thinks that I don't know if she really liked the Poetry I said or was she just faking it. To show her appreciation and make me feel good! But then he thinks. She’s not that kind of girl. He then thinks how good he felt with her. How that event in the mall he got charged up when he was saying those words to her. He can’t believe he did it himself now when he thinks. But now he thinks she's a newbie junior who just joined recently. We should all focus on our work. I should keep being her friend! Not annoy her or make her feel uncomfortable he said in his mind! But then somehow he felt a strange happiness in his heart. He was smiling after this. He then reached Home. Knowing Tomorrow there’s alot of work to do! He instantly falls asleep when he lies down on his bed..
