She Was Not As UGLY As You Thought

As soon as Rishi saw her, he headed towards her. He was almost there to greet her..... But someone intruded in between.He was furious as to how someone can even dare to do this! When he took a look at that person, he found a familiar face. SHE WAS ANUSHKA! He recognised him. And also how can he forget this girl? They both shared their past too. Rishi was always a bit scared of her. Of course, she was too protective for Aliya. And because of her protectiveness and Rishi's mistake, Rishi had already faced bad situations.

"How come you are here?"

"I came here to drop Aliya."

"I think your work here is over. You can go now."

"Of course, my work is over here. But when I heard that you are the new boss of Aliya, I thought I should introduce myself to you."

"But I know you, Anushka."

"Aha..No.... It's not mere Anushka. Its IPS officer Anushka Shirodkar. This area is under my supervision."

Everyone was startled by hearing this. Everybody stood up out of respect for her. She signed them to sit down. Aliya didn't knew about this. This was a pleasant surprise for her too. But not for Rishi. It was a great shock for him. He knew how Anushka was. He could predict that between him and his dream girl, she was a big hurdle. He wanted Anushka to move out of the office ASAP.

"Oh! Welcome to my office Anushka madam. And say what can I do for you?"

"There are a lot of things that you can do it. But for now I'm leaving. Nice to meet you."

"Okay! Aliya, come to my cabin."

"Sure sir." Aliya replied

Rishi ordering Aliya! This scene made Anushka angry. But she controlled. She knew that Rishi did this deliberately. As soon as Rishi left, she turned to Aliya

"Aliya, I do not think that I can bear this view. I'll take your leave."

"You have to control for a day only. And I'll take a party from you too. We'll talk at home. Let me see what excuse you have that you hid this news from me."

"Haha! See you soon!"

Aliya was in Rishi's cabin. After discussing some issues, Aliya was leaving the cabin when Rishi stopped her

"Aliya, before you leave, can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Is Anushka going to stay with you from now? I mean is she going to come here everyday to drop you?"

"For this matter you should ask Anushka. I have no knowledge about it."

"But still if you know something....

"Mr.Rishi, I know you are my boss. But you are my boss in this office. Also I've not given anyone the right to ask me personal questions. Sir I respect you but I dont allow any random person to peep in my life."

Rishi was again dumbfounded. He had no words. He just resumed to his work. He knew that it was just karma paying him back. 11 years back he used to ignored Aliya and know she is ignoring him. Aliya left the cabin. She resumed to her work.

Soon it was time for lunchbreak. Everyone was in the canteen. When they looked at the menu to order their favourite stuffs, they were shocked to see that none of the items were now in the menu. Everything disappeared. There were salads, soups and other stuffs. When they enquired the chef, he said that the menu was changedyesterday itself. Aliya didn't knew how to react. Of course she had done a good job, but seeing their faces she lost her courage to speak and to say everyone that she had finalised the menu. Suddenly a person spoke

"Who is that person to change the menu? Almost every food here is boring. We no longer have those tasty treats!"

"I changed it. The menu has nutritious items. If you eat these in the lunch, it will help you to work here with more energy. It's also good for your health." a voice from behind replied.

When everyone turned back to see, they saw Rishi. Now the chaos was over. Everybody's mouth were shut. Of course, who can speak against their boss?

"I'll introduce you to a new rule. From today onwards, everyone will have lunch here in the canteen itself. Including me. And its compulsory."

Nobody had any response. Everyone was ok with the rule. But one thing they were imagining was how Mr.Rishi eats!! Exactly! Nobody had seen Rishi eating, smiling, sleeping or doing anything other than work. They wondered how they will gulp food in front of them. Rishi had created such a terror amongst the employees that even moving without his permission was a sin to them.

"I think we should start our lunch."

As soon as everyone saw the menu again, they saw no difference in any second food item. Everything was boring and tasteless. After everyone ordered it was turn for Rishi to order some. When he looked at the dishes, there was nothing different in expressions he gave. He felt like just to to sit and eat with Aliya he had to eat this everyday in lunch. As it is said in India, to gain something you have to loose something. He had to loose his favourite dishes for lunch. Hahahahahaha! what a sight!

Aliya was the only one who had no regret to eat salads and soups in lunch. She eats this everyday. Seeing how Rishi was forcefully gulping food made her lunch more special. It was delight to see him like this.
