Chapter 12 - Karma

"You are going to rock today." Megha said while putting either of her hand on my shoulder.

"But how am I going to rock when no one knows that I have even prepared the presentation?" I asked her.

"I am sure that your boss must have thought something, that is why he had told you to keep your mouth sealed about that." I nodded in her way. Though my boss had told me to tell no one about this yet I had talked about this to my best friend as his barrier was till the office only. "Just trust him. He has helped you as well, I can tell you with my eyes closed that he must be planning something."

"Alright, I got it. Since the time I had talked about this with you, you have been talking about his hidden plan only. You are totally a fan of his. Why don't you try to hit on me?" She shook her head.

"That is correct that I am fangirling him. In fact, if he was in the film industry instead of business then I think he would have a large fan following." I gave it a thought and nodded.

"That is true."

"And I don't want to hit on a person who is already hitting on my friend. I can just support him from here."

"Didn't I tell you that I already love someone?" I said while drinking the water from the water bottle and an eye on her.

"You did, but no one knows when he will be back and I hate him already."

"Why do you hate him? When you didn't even meet him?" I put away the water bottle and sat down on the

"Because if he had really remembered you then he wouldn't have taken so much time to come back. I would say that go on with the flow of life and your life has brought you near to your boss. I will say take this chance and move on from that love of yours."

"Ouch, that hurts. This is not easy. Even though I haven't seen him for so many years, I have been living on with the memories which he had left with me."

"So will you carry on with these memories only for the rest of your life?" I sighed. I know that she is right but I want to wait. "Will you end your life in waiting while he would be having a life of his where he must be creating a new family and you will be lying nowhere in his life?" Her words were becoming fierce with every word.

"I know that you are worried about me. How about I promise you that if he never comes back then I will go on with my life?" I asked her with a smile.

"Till when?" She asked and that made my lips sealed. I looked at the calendar which made me sad and I looked at her.

"Two more months, after that I will move on."

"Why two months more?"

"Because exactly after two months it would be fully seven years since he had left him. If I wouldn't be able to see him in these two months and confess then I would move on and would even move on from his memories."

"I guess I can wait for this much month but what about your boss, will he wait till then."

"That decision is on him if he still wants me after two months and if he doesn't then maybe he wasn't in my life."

"God please don't take him away from here." Megha said while crossing her fingers, I playfully slapped her forearm, she chuckled and after that she dropped me at my office and when I reached my floor, the first person I saw was Sonika and Maya and they were discussing something. I went towards them.

"What is wrong?"

"Nothing, we just got to know that the presentation you were going to handle was given back to Urvashi and she had already completed that on such a short notice."

"So, what is weird about that?"

"We are feeling as if she was already prepared for the presentation. The time which you were provided was already short and you have also done that in two days but she had done that in just one day."

"We shouldn't judge her." I said and Maya shook her head.

"We are not judging but still it is weird." It would be weirder when you will get to know that me and the boss had completed that presentation in just five to six hours.

"Everyone please proceed towards the conference room." Ankit, our boss's assistant, spoke and everyone proceeded toward the conference room and after the clients came, we were ready to go with our presentation and there I was feeling all sweaty because I was hell nervous.

"Now I will talk about finance. Ms. Patel." That was directed towards Urvashi and Urvashi was having the brightest smile on her face. She stood in front and was searching through her laptop but after a few seconds her face was pale.

"What is wrong Ms. Patel?"

"I am searching sir."

"We don't have so much time Ms. Patel." I was feeling that the boss was intentionally putting pressure on her.

"Leave it, it is nice that I already have the presentation ready." After that he started to explain it and then he called out for me which made me more nervous. I explained the rest of the part and with that the meeting and my nervousness ended. Everyone started to go away while leaving me and Urvashi behind.

"You have deleted my presentation, didn't you?" Her voice was low yet audible and was sounding dark. I looked at her and found that she was looking down.

"I didn't do that." After that she looked at me with murderous eyes and the marched towards me to held my collar.

"You knew that I had deleted yours, that is why you have erased mine right?" I was shocked at her confession. A hand held her hand and I looked at the person and found our boss.

"This is enough of your confession Ms. Patel." He said and removed her hand from my collar.

"Sir, she had erased my presentation." Urvashi complained like a child.

"Your presentation is here." He said while picking out another pen drive.

"Then why didn't you present mine?"

Because though you had worked hard on that, this presentation is of Ms. Bakshi." That caught me by surprise. "You have just done some editing."

"How could you say that?

"Because the presentation which I had presented in the conference room is made by both of us and there are some similar points between your and her presentation, though it may be a coincidence, the CCTV cleared it all. With this, I can say that Karma has hit you already and you are fired. I had talked about this with the CEO already."

"I won't leave just like that." She said and pulled me and my back hit the table and sharp pain flew inside me. '

"Arushi!!" I heard his voice.
