Pragya's pov

                  It was an usual morning when i got up from my limitless sleep. Usually i end my day probably thinking about my life but yesterday i could not sleep because of my new job. The job which i never expected but its his wish to work for abhi and he wanted a personal secretary who shares with him. How could I , will this society accept this and what they will call me , a shameless women.

I quickly got ready not wanted to get scolded by my in laws. I don't want to be a centre of their talks in the morning itself. Seriously my day will never end without hearing their words which only filled with venom.

I prepared breakfast quickly and i don't want to be late on the first day itself. I want to maintain a proper relation with my boss because if i lose this job , i don't know what will happen next in my life.

When i was getting , i saw myself in the mirror. His words echoed in my ears. I adjusted my dupatta and wear my glasses. I know i am not a good looking girl but a hrd working one who can work till my energy gets exhausted.

" pragya.." i heard aunty ji's voice and stopped in the midway. She neared me with a bowl and I looked confused at her.

" I am going to one of our relative's wedding. So can you feed karan before you leave.." She asked me and before i could answer she went keeping the bowl on the near by table .she didn't even ask whether i will but left just informing me.

I entered inside his room and saw karan already awake. loud music was playing which would tear my ears. I gently stood beside while he looked tilting his head a little.

" you came.." He asked and i smiled in return. I don't know whether to blame me or my fate. I was married to a person who was paralysed. i have no parents and why the fate should play a pity game on me. what mistake i did in my life. I fear to go near him and stay in the separate room as he was medically treated in home. He can only speak and could not move his body.

From that day i started to take care of him with no way left. Though they are rich , they asked me to work in a company .

" are you ready for your new work..." He asked bringing me back to the reality.

" yes.." i muttered boring with a nod. I won't usually talk to him , simply replying to his questions.

" don't even dare to leave that job..you have to do whatever he says.. Keep him in your hold.. " he said making my eyes to go wide.

' if he comes to know what he said , will it be an issue for him .. He is asking me to keep in my arms. do any husband will speak like this.. '

" don't hesitate even if he ask to sleep with him.. " he said when i started to feed him. I felt disgusted to stay near him and wanted to run from there but he will not leave me .. Will keep on chasing me.

After i finished everything, i saw the time and its time to leave. When i reached the office , everyone were greeting me with a  smile which is really new to me. Really i felt something happy inside me and saw two people approaching me.

" Pragya.."  A girl called me and i had seen her somewhere. Her face was so familiar to me and she had tears in her eyes when she saw me. Like she was waiting many days to meet me. The guy near her supports by warmly side hugging her.

I smiled in return not to embarrass them. She then hugged me quickly and pulled away before i could react. I felt really comfortable in her arms.

"I am purab, abhi's brother and she is  bulbul , my wife" the guy said and i nod my head. They both watched me kneely making me to slip my fingers into my curls with an excuse.

" sorry..come let me show your cabin!!" Bulbul said taking me to his cabin. I was frozen by seeing the arragements perfect. My seat was arranged perfectly opposite to him and the files are organised neatly on my table with a desktop. I thanked her for helping me and she went out with a cheesy smile.

I sat on my chair and it felt really different for the first time . I felt proud of myself and opened the fiels to start my work.

Half an hour passed , I was looking at the files completly drowned in it , and didn't noticed that my boss entered and was standing beside me. When I felt thirsty amf was about to drink , I saw him. He was so close to me and was looking into the files. My breath got hitched by his sudden closeness and when I tried to stand to wish him , my head knocked on his forehead. 
' how bad day is today...'

I silently looked at him with fear inside me . He should not fire me-  was the only thought running inside my mind. But he was looking strangely at me.

" i am sorry sir.." pragya said taking a deep breath as abhi stepped away from her.

" yes I agree that I asked you to be more careful while doing your job but not this much , you didn't noticed my presence too.." he said moving towards his seat.

" i am sorry sir.." I said as soon as soon as moved away from her. Why i felt strange when he stood near me. My heart pumped fast and i almost lost in his closeness.

Abhi's pov

        When i entetedy cabin , i saw her sleeping peacefully by resting her head on the desk and her one hand on the desk.

      A minute i lost myself by looking at her. I could see dark circles around her eyes even though she is wearing specs. Her face explains how much she is tired of everything and i don't want to disturb her.

But i have to wake her up as its almost 8 pm. I gently placed my hand on her cheeks , she reacted by smiling lightly. I don't know why i did like that even though i tried hard not to touch her.

She wakes up looking me in confusion and i moved away. I cleared my throat and took my phone and wallet from my desk.

" i will drop you..its already late..." I said and she looked at me again with blank face.

" i will go myself.." she said packing her bags avoiding me. That made me to getad at her. Every girl dies for my concern but she is avoiding me.. She is avoiding this ABHISHEK MEHRA... that touched my ego.

I pulled her towards me making her startle in my arms. She looked with a fear and i could see it in her eyes.

" I am your boss and you are my Personal Secretary .. " i muttered slight close to her and she closed her eyes of my sudden touch. The way she shrinked her eyes made me to lose my temper.

" don't forget our deal you signed yesterday and I am saying right , I will drop you , then just accept it.. don't try to raise your voice aginst me.. I don't like it.." I said slightly brushing my lips on her. She jerked a little while her hold on my shirt tightens.

An unknown smile lingered on my lips seeing her face reaction. I left her and walked from there.

Pragya 's pov

        Why did I reacted like that..? I cursed my fate and took my bag and rushed behind him not to face his anger again. But it was a new feeling for me. But I should not think about him as I am married and my husband is still alive. Though I dont love him , but still this society will not accept us.

     I sat beside him and he ignited the car. The whole journey was silent and I didn't dare to look at him. He concentrated only on driving and gazed at me often. I tried not to react much.

He stopped the car once I showed my home . I opened the door to get down when I felt a tight hold on my hand.

" tomorrow wear saree... as we are having a collaboration meeting..and i want evrything to be perfect.." he said and I nod my head. I got down and watched him driving away. My heart felt an unknown loneliness once he left out of my sight.
