"Good morning Sir."

Vihaan heard a soft voice and looked up from his laptop. His eyes widened as he recognised her and a smile started forming on his face. 

He couldn't believe she was here and standing in front of him. 

Meher was surprised, shocked and what not seeing him but she masked her emotions real well. She pretended as if she did not know him at all.

He got up and was about to walk to her when she cleared her throat and said.

"Umm-Sir?"

Vihaan's smile faded as he looked at her.

'Does she not recognise me? Has she forgotten me already?'

"Meher Srivastava sir. I am your new Secretary."

He nodded expressionlessly and said.

"I hope you are aware of your job here. You are supposed to schedule meetings for me, take notes of those meetings, brief me about a meeting in advance and also take care of me and yourself."

Meher looked at him shocked. 

Vihaan was looking at her trying to read her expressions but seemed like she was an expert in hiding them.

"Any problem Miss Meher?"

Meher came out of her thoughts and shook her head avoiding his eye.

"No Sir, understood."

"Good. You must have received my schedule for the week?"

"Yes Sir."

She said and opened the sheet which had his schedule for the week.

"Do i have any meetings lined up?"

"Umm- yes sir. You have one meeting after two hours and another in the evening. For the first meeting you have to visit the client and the second one is here only."

She said reading out his schedule. He nodded and looked for a file. Finding it he forwarded it to Meher.

"You have an hour to go through this. Exactly after an hour you report to me here and we leave for the meeting. Clear?"

"Yes Sir."

She said and took the file. Taking his permission she went to her cabin and sat on the chair keeping her palm on her racing heart.

However much she denied, but she was still affected by him and his proximity.

Vihaan grinned widely as she went out.

'I can't believe you are here. Tum yaha ho Meher. Iss baar tumhe jaane nhi dunga. I don't know if you have really forgotten me or just pretending. But don't worry I'll remind you."

**************************************

An hour later Meher's alarm rang. She took her bag and the files required for the meeting and went to Vihaan's cabin.

She took a deep breath and knocked. Receiving his permission she entered with a professional smile.

"Sir, it's time."

Vihaan looked at her and nodded. He got up and wore his coat.

They went down and sat in the car. Both of them were sitting in the extreme corners of the seat with plenty of distance between them.

Vihaan was not liking the silence between them so he asked her to tell her what she read in the file.

Meher briefed him and they reached the place their meeting was held.

It was almost lunch time when they were over with the meeting so Vihaan asked to stop the car in front of a restaurant.

"Come, Let's have lunch."

Meher looked at him and said.

"But Sir, how can i-"

"Why not? Tumhe bhuk nhi lagi kya?"

(You are not hungry?)

"Haan Sir but-"

(Yes sir but-)

"Not buts, come."

He said and dragged her in holding her hand. She looked at him and then their hands.

They settled down and Vihaan was looking at the menu card. He looked at her. She looked conflicted.

"Relax. It's ok. You are working with me right now which makes you my responsibility. Just pretend that i am not your boss. Think of me as an old friend."

He said deliberately trying to get a reaction out of her. She avoided his eye and nodded which disappointed him.

'Shayad sach mai bhul gyi mujhe.'

They ordered their food and left after having their lunch.

The day went by smooth. Meher was thankful she did not have to encounter him more than necessary.

Only if she knew that Vihaan was not someone who let his loved ones go so easily. He had found her after so many years and now he was not going to let her go. Ever.

**************************************

It had been almost a months since Meher had joined and started working under Vihaan. 

A lot had happened during the month. Meher had started smiling and stopped avoiding his eyes whenever they were together.

Though it was all professional from her side it still made Vihaan happy.

Sometimes, they had to work overtime and on those days Vihaan would drop her home even after her denying a lot of times.

Even today they were working over a new project and they had to stay back.

Meher was telling him something but he was busy in admiring her. Meher looked at him to see if he was following what she was saying.

She saw him looking at her with a dreamy expression and she looked away to hide the little blush that formed on her cheeks.

As much as she denied it was true that she still felt something for him. Or maybe a lot.

She cleared her throat and looked at him bringing him out of his thoughts.

"Umm Sir?"

"What did i say about calling me Sir after office hours?"

He asked pretending to scold her and she lowered her head biting her lip.

He had asked her to call him by his name when they were beyond working hours or somewhere alone. He said that he didn't like people calling him Sir.

"I know Sir but-"

"Phir?"

(Again?)

"Sir how can-"

"Call me Sir once again and see what i do."

He said and gave her a look of fake threatening. 

"But aap mere boss hai how can i?"

(But you are my boss how can i?)

Vihaan's mode was ruined now.

"Main tumhare liye sirf tumhara boss hu Meher?"

(Am i only your boss to you Meher?)

Meher was shocked at his sudden change in mood. 

"Sach sach batana mujhe. Sach mai yaad nhi mai tumhe?"

(Tell me the truth. You really don't remember me?)

Meher lowered her and bit her lip.

"I don't understand what you are talking about Sir."

"Ek baar meri aankhon mai dekh kar keh do you don't remember me."

(Look at me in the eyes once and tell me you don't remember me.)

He said looking at her intensely while she looked anywhere but him. How could she look at him. She didn't have any answer of what she did back then. She ignored each of her friends and left them hanging.
