I WAS DESTINED TO BE YOURS

Chapter 2

Flashback 

"Navya, please get up. You will get late for the office." Namrata's mom said the third time. It's your first day of your first project, you have to start today. Please get up navu. 

"yes, mumma" 

After so much struggle getting up early in the morning, I went to the bathroom for my daily routine. It's a special day to me so I have to be my best. For that I selected a black trousers with a blazer. Finally I got ready. And greeted everyone at the breakfast table. 

"Good morning mom and to you too bro. " 

"Good morning sis, you are the most difficult task for mumma." 

"shut up Shaurya" 

"Namrata" 

"OK mom, sorry. Where is dad?" 

"Left for office, you also have breakfast fast and leave before you got late." 

I reached the office at 9.35. While I was reading the marketing strategies for our new project, Dad called me in his office. I reached his office, thinking that he would congratulate me for the project but what happened there I couldn't imagine about it. 

"Good morning dad" I greeted dad I mean boss. Yes he is my dad but I am an employee in office not his daughter so I have to always keep the personal and professional life separate. 

"At what time did you reach the office?" Dad I mean boss asked. 

"I don't know, I didn't notice that." I answered politely because I don't think I was late. 

"You reached at sharp 9.35 which means you were 5 minutes late. Do you think you are capable of doing this project when you can't even reach the office on time? Do you know how many people are here who are feeding their family because of this company." Dad said coldly, I don't even understand this kind of behaviour. Because I never find out if he is angry or not. So without thinking of anything else I decided to give an explanation as I really don't want to create troubles for me. 

"Dad, I mean sir." But dad interrupted me in between and said, "You are not going to do this project, only shaurya will do. You may leave" 

"but why dad, it's just 5 minutes and you are doing this to me. And you know that I am capable of doing this project. I have been trying so hard for this. How can you do this to me dad?" 

"First, I am your sir not dad. Second, you are late for not only 5 minutes, just multiply this to 365 and you will know how much time you are going to waste in a year. Third, you will not do this project and that's final." 

I wanted to say so many things but I thought it's not the right time because I think I won't be able to make him understand. But I was hurt. I didn't expect that only because of being late for 5 minutes, I will lose my project. How can it make sense? I don't know but I just wanted to get out of this discussion. So I just said, "OK dad. As you say." 

I got very hurt by this incident, I sat silently in my cabin for half an hour thinking what I am going to do now? I lost my opportunity to prove myself. I accept I was late but only for 5 minutes. I was not able to think anything so I thought I should give myself some time. It's not going to work like this.  After that I left the office without saying anything to anyone. The entire day I spent at a beach. I switched off my phone as I didn't want to talk with anyone. I was watching the waves, they were coming to my feet like they were having some kind of race to reach me first. I thought, Life is actually a race in which everyone wants to win. But it's just that everyone doesn't get that chance. But they still remain hopeful so I shouldn't lose hope. Maybe life has planned something else for me. Maybe I will get another chance again but I just can't wait for that day. I was thinking what if I have completed this project, will I get the credit for it? Many of my friends say to me that I was born with a silver spoon, they never said that on my face but I know they must have felt that I got this opportunity just because I am the boss's daughter. And I am not going to take this anymore. Whatever happened today, I think dad also felt that I was just considered his daughter while this project was handed over to me. And if I really want to succeed in my life, I should work for someone else. A company where I can prove myself to dad, my friends and to myself that I am able to do everything. After taking this decision, I thought I should head home now. It's already 7 'o' clock.

When I reached home everyone was there: my family, friends and cousins. I was shocked to see them all. 

"What happened? Why are you guys here? Is everything okay?" I asked them. But as expected Shaurya came forward and asked me in a concerned tone, "where were you? We have been trying to call you since the time you left the office and your phone was switched off. Do you have any idea how worried we were?" Shaurya said. I was really annoyed with Shaurya because now he will do my project but I didn't want to show him that. I just told him, "I wanted to spend some time alone and I was not in the mood to talk to anyone. So I just left my office. Why were you all worried, I am not a child. I can take care of myself. Why everyone treat me like I was born yesterday?" 

Mom came to me and cupped my face in her hands and said to me in a concerned tone, "Navya, I know what happened in the office today. But don't worry I will talk with your dad. You will do this project. Don't get upset about it." Mom consoled me. But I already decided so I thought I should tell them. At least they will be prepared for this, I know they won't agree with my decision but I should just tell them. So I held mom's hand and told her, "Mom, I don't want to do this project anymore. I will not work for dad's company anymore. I will prove myself to dad that I am capable of handling any project. I will get a job very soon. Everyone will believe that I am not a child any more. I have capabilities to do that." 

"Are you insane, Navya. What are you saying? Your dad has a big business and you will work for someone else. Mahesh uncle will never allow you for this." Tabbasum asked. 

"I have decided for myself, don't want to discuss this. Mom, please try and understand, please trust me this time." I said to mom before anyone else says anything I left for my room. 

****Flashback ends***

I got up with the alarm clock at 7'o' clock and went to the bathroom for my daily routine and got ready. Usually I wore trousers, top and blazers for my office but today I wanted to wear a plain black dress which reached to my knees. I am not a makeup girl so I always prefer light makeup which includes only lip gloss and Eyeliner. Finally taking a final glance at myself. I walked towards the kitchen. 

"Good morning mom" 

"Good morning beta, you are looking so adorable today." 

"Thank you mom, but I always look adorable to you, why not beautiful. Don't I look gorgeous?" I asked with my puppy eyes.

"You are adorable, beautiful and gorgeous Navu. Now have breakfast, I made your favourite poha today."

"Thanks mom, but I am getting late. I have to reach the office for some urgent work. For you, I will have this juice only." I gulped a glass of juice. "Done mom, bye." 

"Bye." Mom said. 

After having breakfast I left for my office. I took a cab for my office . After that incident I didn't use any car. I use public transport and live with my own salary. But I didn't know at that time that  my one decision was going to change my life. I never thought that I will meet love of life there who will soon be a part of my life. It's like a dream when we started dating, totally unexpected that we can actually get along with each other. Whenever he sees me I feel like he is my whole world. I can watch him the entire day without blinking an eye. When I started working with MKT Enterprises as a sales executive 2 years ago, I never thought that I would be the head of the sales and marketing department. But with time I got everything which I always wanted. I have a car which Armaan gifted me on my birthday but I can't accept that directly so I told everyone that it's for official use only. I use that car whenever I want. I have my driver also who was appointed for me by Armaan. Actually he is a driver c*m bodyguard. And he informs him about my whereabouts as he is so much concerned about me and my safety. I reached the office at 8.30. I reached the fourth floor, no one was there as it's too early. Normally my office opens at 9.30 but sometimes it opens at 8.30 only for me so that I can have breakfast with my love. I reached Armaan's cabin, he was sitting on the couch in his cabin. He is wearing a grey Armani suit today which fitted his perfectly structured body. I was checking him out from head to toe when he caught me staring at him. He got up and hugged me, "Good morning Jaan. What are you looking at?" I circled my arms around his waist,"Good morning Baby, I was just thinking someone is getting more handsome day by day." He kissed my forehead like his life depends on that kiss. He used to kiss me like that and I always felt so good and lucky to have him in my life. 

"You are also looking gorgeous sweetheart. I think it's the effect of your company. Come, let's have breakfast first. We have all day to flirt with each other." I hummed him. 

He sat on the couch and I sat on his lap. His one hand is holding me from my waist and with his other hand he started to feed me with his hand. He specially made poha for me. I also feed him the poha. We had apple juice which he made for me. YOU ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE HIM IN YOUR LIFE. My inner voice told me. We spent some time together after having breakfast, Armaan is planning for my wardrobe makeover so we discussed that. We talked with each other about some other upcoming projects and at 9.15 we reached our cabins respectively. The entire day went so well our project has started and the whole team is trying hard to make this successful. I was quite busy as Raj sir is also out of the country for our overseas project that's why I have to  lead the team and I have to prepare every daily marketing report to send to Raj sir along with Armaan and Shlok sir. 

Around 5.30 in the evening, I got a call from an unknown number, but I didn't pick it as I was quite busy with my work. 

Message received with a beep sound…… 

To Namrata : Hi sweetheart

To Armaan: Hi Love. 

To Namrata: When you will be free? 

To Armaan: I have some work, it may take some time. Anything serious? 

To Namrata: Nothing, I am in my cabin you can come to me if you need any help. 

To Armaan: Sure sweetheart. 

To Namrata: Love you. 

To Armaan: Love you too. 

"Hey Namrata, are you still here. Everyone has left, It's getting late. What happened, is everything okay?" Sheena Asked 

"Yes, all good. I will leave in sometime. I am almost done. I was just sending the daily reports to Raj sir." I said. 

"Okay good. We are leaving, the weather is also not good. Just leave as soon as possible. OK bye take care " Sheena said

"I will, Bye" I said. 

When all the board members left the office, I also thought about leaving. While I was collecting my things I felt strong arms around my waist. I loved his cologne seriously, sometimes I feel he wants to attract me with his smell. "Miss you" Armaan said while kissing me on my neck and turned on my face. "I missed you too." He started touching me like it has been a year since he did this. He pinned my both hands on top of my head holding with his one hand. With another hand he was holding my waist tightly pressing with his manhood. He was kissing me so passionately his tongue was inside my mouth. He is playing with my tongue and biting my lips time to time. I was so much into him when I felt someone's presence around the cabin and I whispered in his ear, "Armaan, I think someone is here I saw a reflection behind you." He turned me around by holding my waist and he immediately reached to the switch board and turned off the light. And with the help of darkness we reached his cabin. And he switched on the camera to know who was there?
