She somehow felt, Kabir would be her help. She need to cop with the changes that happened during the past three years while she wasn't around. Kabir have being working in the company since past three years when she and some others were forced to leave. She decided to use Kabir but had to test his trustworthiness. She cannot stand a chance and lose again.
She finished the day's work somehow without being called by Dhruv for anything. It is now her duty to be with Dhruv as she is the current PA of him but that day he had some meetings to be handled alone. She made a plan to test Kabir.
"Kabir, would you please come in here." she called him on phone.
Soon Kabir came in and asked her why was he called all of a sudden.
"Have this chocolate first." she wanted a start because it's been more than three years she talked to someone on her own.
"Nice chocolates." he said while filling them into his mouth. "I love chocolates but this chocolate seems to be more sweet maybe cause of the love he filled it with." he didn't want to lose a chance of mocking her.
"Well, well.. Kabir I want to know about this office and Sharma Group more. Do you bother telling me?" she asked curiously.
"Oh, about what? The company or CEO?"
"Don't behave like a stupid, Kabir! What's so special about CEO. Why do you mock me with his name."
"It's because I feel he behaves different from the time you came here. I am not joking." he said seriously.
"What change did you find in him?" she was more confused.
"Sir never stays at office after 5pm but yesterday he stayed back till late night and it is only because of you."
"Who said that it was for me? I was with him when he left office yesterday. He left before me and you are saying he stayed late night for me?"
"Well, he came back after you left. He was sitting in your cabin till late night and it was then he asked me to give you the chocolate box." he said proudly
"But why? Didn't you ask him the reason for buying me this?"
"Yea, I did ask but he asked me to leave him alone." Kabir said sadly.
Diya started to think why Dhruv gave it and why he came back to the office. "Kabir, are you free after office? I need to talk to you."
"Hmm.. I will try" he said while laughing.
She smiled too.
Diya and Kabir went to the beach after office time. She asked Kabir everything about Dhruv and the company that she wanted to know. At the end of the long conversation, Diya felt Kabir have something else to tell, which he is hiding from her. She found him trustworthy and offered him a friendship which is happily accepted.
She went back to her flat and wrote everything that she heard in a diary so that she wouldn't miss any point later. "Is it getting easier or harder." she told herself. Understanding Dhruv is always difficult but she used to excel in it three years back.
She went through their old photographs where she was Divya and he was her king. Diya cannot get back to Divya anymore. She needs to show courage. She needs to act matured. She cannot trust love again.
Three years back...
Divya was crying in her cabin because Dhruv shouted at her for no fault of her's. She wanted to quit the job but her mother have already faced so much in life that Divya didn't want to be another reason for it. Divya heard a knock on the door and wiped her tears.
"Yes, come in" she said with a chill in her voice.
"Divya, Sir is calling you to his cabin." Hina said pathetically.
"I don't want to meet anyone now Hina. I feel so lost, you know it was not my fault actually. Sir shouted at me in front of every staff that it is really embarassing me to face him again."
"I can understand Divya. But it's an order. You have to endure all this while working in a corporate. Please show some courage and meet him soon." Hina left the room.
Divya washed her face and try to put on a smile. She walked quickly into Dhruv's cabin to find out what else was there in the store for her. "May I come in, sir?" she asked softly.
"Yes." Dhruv replied calmly. "Divya, the work you got was very easy and you have done it well. I am happy that you made it upto my expectation."
"Thankyou sir. I am glad you liked it." :- Divya stood astonished. Finally, he talked to her with some patience.
"Have this gift hamper Divya." he offered her a chocolate box and a letter.
"Sir, it is my duty to complete the work you give me. I don't deserve any gift hamper for that." she told him politely.
"This is not for your work Divya. It is for yesterday. You helped me out when nobody was here. I am sure, it was the first time you had been handling something like that. But you took me out safely. This is my gift for that." Dhruv convinced her.
"Thankyou sir. This is so nice of you." she grabbed the hamper from the table.
"Continue with your work and I am sorry for the earlier." Dhruv comforted her.
She walked out of the room proudly holding the gift hamper she received on the second day of her work. She showed everyone, what she got happily.
"Sir, isn't that grumpy. He is sweet and caring too. Maybe he is behaving seriously to make everyone work hard." she couldn't control her excitement.
