Chapter 59
Srusti's POV
Manyata Malhotra came there with a beautiful smile on her face.
" Hi Srusti, I am sorry one of my daughters was a bit cranky. I was trying to soothe her. "
" Hi, no it is perfectly alright. "
" So, would you be able to help me?? "
" I can but I would like to know about it in detail. What would be my working hours and what would be my job responsibilities?? I am not highly qualified or skilled in photography. But I cook well. I hope, I would be able to handle it. "
" Relax !!! I already told you that I want my kids with me there. I would arrange a nursery in my office. I have another assistant but she just can't handle kids. So three of us has to manage those two naughty girls and my work. I am sure you will learn everything and manage it well. "
" You think so?? "
" I know so... "
" What about my working hours ma'am ?? "
" 10 to 6 ?? Please don't call me ma'am call me by my name or if you call sahil as bhaiya, call me bhabhi. "
" Ummm, ok !! "
" Any issues?? "
" No, I just cook 3 meals for someone. So I would get ample time to cook a meal as he eats around 8:30 PM. "
" Don't worry, we can keep it a bit flexible. I just don't want you to feel uncomfortable. "
" Ok, I am ready to do it. "
" You didn't even talk about salary... Is 25 thousand ok with you ?? "
" Yeah !! So when do I start?? "
" Whenever you want... Even today if it is ok with you. "
" Yes, I am ok with it. "
" Great !! So today, we will stay home and let's get you and babies get comfortable with each other. From tomorrow we would join my office. Ok ?? "
" Yeah !! "
" I will tell my partner and friend that I would join him tomorrow. " She said.
She took me to the babies room. They were sleeping. She told me about their daily routine and food charts and habits as they were a little more than one year old. Then she had just started telling me about her work when Sanya got up and wanted her mom to pamper her.
After just about 15 minutes the other cute little girl also got up. We both kept playing with them for most of the day. The girls loved me and I adored them.
They were very cute the only problem was that just like her dad and uncle, they were also identical twins.
I was trying to feed one of them for the second time. Manyata ma'am kept smiling at my confusion. I loved playing with them and didn't even realise that it was evening.
" Srusti, You can leave now, it is almost 5:30. You can rest and then you would have to cook also. Tomorrow we would go to my office, what would you prefer?? Do you want to come here in the morning tomorrow or would you come directly to the office? "
" As it's my first time, I would come here then from next day I would reach there directly. "
" Ok dear, we would leave at around 10 AM. " She said and nodded with a smile. I took my leave after giving a little tap on the cute little chins of the babies. They rewarded me with their beautiful smiles and I felt elated. I drove towards home planning the menu of the dinner in my mind.
Mohit's POV
" What's wrong with her??? She hasn't called me back since morning. I called her the moment I literally threw Robin out of my house. She must have been driving at that time so it went to voice call.
But why didn't she call me back?? I was worried as hell for her.
Where the hell was she?? Why was she not back by now?? I hope she was safe.
I could not stay in my studio, I was pacing like anything for the whole day. I wanted to talk to her, I had to tell her everything about me. I had to tell her to keep away from Robin.
I wanted to talk to her, so I came back home, but she was not at home. I tried calling her many times. But every time her phone went to voice mail.
It was 6 PM, where was she?? Was she at my parent's or Maya's place??
I even called and enquired them. She was also not there. I was worried for her. How come, she did not see her phone?? My head was hurting because of tension. I went to my balcony as I was feeling very restless.
Just then I saw her car parked in its parking space. It was not there when I came home. I rushed out of my room and opened the door as I got the locks changed.
" Where have you been?? " I said the moment I opened the door and went near her to see if she was alright.
" Oh!! You are already home?" She was startled and then took a deep breath. She took out a water bottle and had water.
" Are you alright? "
" Yeah... Why are you asking?" She said and I was relieved.
" Tell me, where were you? " I said in a higher tone.
" At my job... I told you in the morning. " She said.
I was angry with her for being so casual. I was dying worrying about her as she was as cool as a cucumber.
Cool down, Mohit... She doesn't know anything so she has no reason to be tense.
Please be cool... You shouted at her in the morning too. You need to talk to her calmly.
" So, how was it?? " I asked.
" I loved it. I was very busy but enjoyed myself a lot. " She smiled as if she was thinking about it or someone. I started feeling agitated again.
" Where is your phone? " I enquired.
" My phone? In my bag... Why?? "
" We carry a mobile phone so that we can make and receive calls. " I sad sarcastically before I could control my tone.
" Oh !! Thanks for the information... I didn't know that. " She looked at me and said with amusement.
" It is not funny !! Didn't you get a single minute to check on your phone?? " I was annoyed.
" No, I had muted it as I had an interview and later on, I almost forgot about the phone. I really had my hands full. " She said with that blissful expression on her face. She looked beautiful, actually looked like a divine beauty.
But, despite of her looking so beautiful, I didn't like that expression on her face somehow. She looked as if she enjoyed herself too much.
She enjoyed it there??? Did she think about me even once in the whole day?? She enjoyed so much that she didn't even bother to think about calling me or even check her phone?? I don't know why, but I felt restless because of it.
" This is too much, I called you at least 10 times. "
" Oh, sorry!! Was it important?? "
" Does it matter to you?? " I asked sarcastically.
I knew I was behaving weirdly. But why??
" Of course !!! What's wrong with you?? "
Control Mohit !! Calm down !!
" Listen, please... I need to talk about what happened... " I wanted to talk to her about it.
" Wait !! I don't want to talk about it." She said.
" But we need to talk... We need to clear a few things... "
" No, there is no need to do that. I know very well that it was not supposed to happen and you are sorry about it. You don't need to repeat all that. I know that you are in love with... Let it be... Just forget that it happened. I already did. "
She already forgot that we were locked into each other's arms last night???
But I could not get it out of my mind. I needed to tell her that I was not in love with... that someone.
" Just tell me what do you want me to cook for you." She asked and started taking out things from the refrigerator.
" Listen Srusti... "
" Oh sir, actually Ms Mehra sounds better to my ears. Let's stick to that."
Oh God, she was still annoyed.
