Next morning.
Verma Mansion..

Preeta woke up holding her head.
Preeta: Oh god, yeh headache.
Then she saw ananya is standing there forwarding a glass of lemonade to her.
Preeta didn't said anything & drank it quietly..

Preeta: I am fine now ani..
Ananya just looked at her once & left the room without saying anything.

Preeta also goes behind her.
They goes downstairs in the living room where Karan is also sitting & talking to someone on phone call.
Ananya sat beside him. And preeta also.
As soon as Karan cuts the call.

Ananya: Karan, maine London jane ki ek ticket kar di hai.

Karan: Are you going back Anna?

Ananya: Not me, but your girlfriend is going back.

Preeta: Whatt??

Ananya: Aaj shaam ki flight hai..

Preeta: Are but why me?

Ananya: You are going back to London & that's final.

Preeta: I am not going anywhere ani.. Karan tum kuch bolo na.

Karan: Are but.. ...

Ananya: Don't say anything Karan. Tumne dekha na, What happened yesterday night.

Preeta: But it wasn't my fault ani..

Ananya: That's what I am saying pree, it was not your's but it was my fault.
I was careless.. and I can't risk your life now. You have already gone through many things.

Preeta: It was not your fault either ani.. I was drunk & they misbehaved with me. This can happen with anyone. And the thing is I am absolutely fine. Nothing happened to me, so now just close this topic.

Karan: Actually it was my mistake, I shouldn't left her alone.

Preeta: Accha main batati huin yahan par kiski galti hai.
Galti hai us drink ki, us 15 shots ki.. jiski wajah se main hosh me nahi thi. Agar hosh me hoti toh un ladkon ki toh khair nahi thi😎

Ananya & Karan smiles😇

Karan: Yehi to main keh raha huin, jab meri baby doll hosh mein hoti hai tab toh uski permission ke bina main bhi use touch nahi kar sakta.
After all she is my strong girl..

Ananya: But Karan.. ..

Preeta: Noo ani.. now I won't listen anything. But to decrease your tension, I won't drink from now.. jab tak hum wapas London nahi jate & that's my promise.

Ananya: Pakka you won't drink..

Preeta: 100% pakka wala promise.

Ananya smiles.
Karan: Finally, problem solved. Let's go & have breakfast now, I am very hungry.

Preeta: Karan, tumhe khane ke siwa kuch dikhta bhi hai?

Karan: Tum dikhti ho na..

Ananya: Hmm.. guys don't forget I am also here.

Preeta: Chalo let's have breakfast.
😂

1 hour later...
Trio is sitting in living room;

Karan: So, what's the plan now?

Preeta: I got the joining letter in a hospital as a doctor. So will join from today itself.

Ananya: First of all, I will see my new office. Then have a meeting.

Karan: And I have a cricket match next week. So I am going for practice.

Ananya: So we all have works to do. See you at night then.

Preeta: Ok bye ani.

Ananya: Bye.. take care

Ananya left & Karan drops preeta at the hospital & left for his practice.

_-__---_-_-_--_-_---_-__--_-__---_-_--_

Ananya's car stopped in front of a huge building. It have 15 floors. She entered inside & all the staff members welcomed her.
She directly went to her cabin which is on 12th floor.
After few minutes, someone knocks the door of her cabin.

Ananya: Come in.
She said in cold voice while working on her laptop.

A girl enters inside, she looked at ananya & smiles.

Girl: Good morning mam. I am your new PA Neha Sharma.

Ananya: Receptionist will show your cabin. And will make you understand all the rules & regulations.
The most important thing, I hate mistakes & latecomers. Remember that..
She said all this without even looking at her. While her pa is just standing there like a statue listening to her..
Ananya then looked up at her.

Ananya: You can leave now.

Neha left the cabin immediately.
She goes to receptionist to take the info. Receptionist gave her a long list of rules & regulations.

Neha: Omg, so much rules. This boss is going to be very tough.

Receptionist: She is very strict, you must follow the rules properly without any mistakes otherwise she fires her employee in seconds.

Neha: But I really need this job. I have to take care of my family.

Receptionist: She don't listen anything, just one mistake & you lost the job, that's it.
Go now & start your work.

_--_-_---__--_-_--_-_-_----_-___--_-_-_-

At the hospital;

Dean: So you already have good working experience in London's hospital. But may I know the reason why you left hospital there & came to work here? I mean they have much more advanced system than us.

Preeta: Actually I have some personal reason for that sir.

Dean: Ok then, here take your id card & come I will show your cabin.

Preeta: Ok sir.

_--____--_-_---__--__----_-_-_--_---_---

After attending the meeting ananya left the office.
Few minutes later...
Some reporters are standing outside her office. Recording the area.

Reporter: According to our sources, this whole building belongs to Ananya Verma. It's her office building.
And right now she is also present inside, so we are waiting for her to come out.
But after sometimes they got to know that ananya already left from the back exit of the building.

_--_-__-_-_-_-_-_--___-_-_---_----___

In a dark room. Someone is watching news, the same channel where it's showing about ananya.

..... : Yeh ananya verma bohot famous ho rahi hai. Lekin isko dekha kisi ne nahi hai abhi tak.
Who is she? And why is she hiding herself??
I like mysterious peoples, let's find out about her.😏

__--_-_---_-_-_---_---___-_--_---_-_---_

Its night time now. Ananya is driving in a isolated road which is the only way to the mansion. As the mansion is outside the city.
But suddenly she saw someone standing at the middle of road. Maybe asking for lift.
First ananya thought to just ignore him but then she stopped the car & opens her window.

...... : Kya mujhe aage tak lift milegi plzz??

Ananya didn't saw his face as it's dark there.

Ananya: Ok get inside.
He immediately sits beside her.

.... : Thankyou so much.

Ananya looked towards him to see his face. As she was thinking that she heard his voice somewhere..

Ananya (shouted): YOUUU...😮

.... : Why are you shouting so much?

Ananya: What the hell are you doing here?

.... : As you can see, I was standing on the middle of the road at this night time. So of course I am stuck here, meri bike kharab ho gyi thi.

Ananya: Don't act smart, that night in pub & now on road. Why are you meeting me only? Are you following me??

{As you can understand now, he is neil}

Neil : 😁Na toh tum is country ki prime minister ho! Na hi toh koi politician! Aur rahi baat ki ek beautiful ladki ka stalker ban sakta hai koi... Lekin tum toh woh bhi nahi ho. Then you are mistaken that I am following you.

Ananya: 😡😡

Neil: What? I just asked for a lift. If you have problem, then you can leave me here only.

Ananya: Fine.. That day you helped me, so today I will help you.
Hisab barabar..

Neil: Ok..

Ananya: Tell me where should I drop you?

Neil: My home is very far from here. So you just drop me to the bus stand nearby.

Ananya: Hmm

After few minutes..

Neil: By the way, what are you doing here on this road? This way is opposite from the city. Do you live in jungle??

Ananya: Mind your own business. And If you want lift from me, then just stay quiet.

Neil: Okk..

Ananya speeded up the car..

Neil: Relax girl, itni jaldi hai mujhe car se utarne ki.

But she drives the car really fast & drops him at bus stand. He comes out from the car. And thought to say thanks but she left immediately without even listening to him.

Neil: Ajeeb ladki hai, how rude.

__-_-__-_-_--_---__--___--_-_-_---_---_

After a hour, ananya enters the mansion. Preeta & Karan are already sitting there waiting for her.

Preeta: Where were you ani? Why so much late?

Ananya: I will just be back in few minutes pree.

Preeta: Ok
Ananya left to her room & came back in sometimes after changing.

Ananya: You both came very early I think.

Karan: We are not early, but you are late. If I am not wrong then you had only one meeting today. Then why so late??

Ananya: Are woh stupid insaan mil gaya tha raste mein.

Karan: Kaun stupid insaan?

Ananya: Are that pub wala.

Preeta: Oh that boy, jisne kya fight ki thi un bad boys se. You met him ani?
Thanks bola ya nhi use?

Karan: Thanks aur woh bhi Anna. I am sure isne toh use kuch ulta sidha suna diya hoga.

Ananya: 😆 thanks for what? I gave him lift & Maine bol diya, that day you helped us so today I am helping you.
So, hisab barabar.

Preeta: 🤦🤦

Karan: See, I told you😁

Preeta: That's so rude ani. Kya sochta hoga woh?

Ananya: Soche jo bhi sochna hai. Mujhe kya usse shadi karni hai, jo I will take care of his so called soch😑

Karan: Ya right, tum toh kabhi shadi karogi hi nahi.

Ananya: Never ever.

Preeta: Har koi yehi baat kehta hai. I also said this few years back.

Ananya: Whatever.. leave it.
Let's have dinner now.

Preeta: Topic change karna koi isse seekhe.

_-__--_-___---_---_-_-_-_-----__-__--_---

Its midnight now.
Everyone is in their rooms.
But ananya is not sleeping, she is standing in her balcony thinking something, when her phone rings breaking her thoughts.
She smiles & picks the call.

..... : Hello senorita.. How are you? You picked my call in just two rings. Means you was waiting for my call.

Ananya: I received the call without even seeing it. As only you can call me at this time.

..... : Coz I know you were not sleeping. You must be standing in your balcony counting stars😁

Ananya: And how are you so sure about it?

..... : Coz I know you very well darling.

Ananya: Karann..

{Guys, he is not preeta's bf Karan luthra. Why will he call Ananya at this time. He is the other Karan Malhotra, ananya's college time friend. He is very flirty in nature & he secretly loves Ananya also}

Karan: Don't you miss me sweety?

Ananya: I miss all my friends Karan.

Karan: Haye, only friend. How boring of you.

Ananya: By the way, how was your singing concert?

Karan: It's great. After all you know my fan following, mostly in girls😎

Ananya: Ya ya, I know. When are you coming back to London?

Karan: Are kya faida hai ab London aa kar, tum toh ho hi nahi wahan par☹️

Ananya: Now don't start your overacting Karan. And tell me now seriously, when are you coming back?

Karan: Ok seriously I am telling you, I have one more concert in Australia next week.

Ananya: In Australia, Vivaan is also there due to a business trip.

Karan: Great then, we will have some fun & then come back together.

Ananya: Ok..

Karan: And sid is there with riya & aman. So don't worry they will handle everything.

Ananya: How do you know, that I was worrying about them?
