Akriti pov

"Wake up! You lazy kid". mom said slamming the door

"Mom just 5 more minutes please". I exclaimed. "Today is your graduation day. Now fresh up and come for breakfast”, mom said while pulling out my blanket and that's her strategy to get me out of my bed.

Today is the last day in my college. Ah! I don't know whether I should be feeling happy that I got placed in Dixit Interiors or be sad that I have to leave my friends and my college memories.

Suddenly ( heard a crashing sound outside. I peeked out from my window and I noticed a big truck carrying loads and the broken pieces of mirror which was broken by the people moving things into the house. I think someone is moving into my next door.

It was vacant until recently. It was the place where my first love Arnav used to live. He was 2 years older than me. It's been 10 years. I thought I could forget him after the joining the college and find my next love but couldn't

"I still love you Arnav, I think I will keep on loving you forever. I want to be loved, I wish you were alive Arnav", I whispered looking at the photo of Arnav and me when I was12 years old.

*Alarm sound*

Oh no! I am running late. I rushed into the bathroom.

After getting dressed I went down. "very good morning pretty". I said while placing a kiss on her cheek. "morning dear, oh I forgot to tell you. Someone from Dixit Interiors is moving to our next door. Let's greet them in the evening". mom said.

The moment I heard the word next door, Arnav's image flashed into my mind. "No mom. I don't want to". I said. Noticing a teary eye's Mom said," it's fine dear forget about the past. Don't be a kid and sulk about someone moving into next door"

I sat down quietly and had my breakfast.

"mom! Dad! I am going to college bye". I shouted and took the bus to reach my college.

As soon as I reached my college. I entered to my class and greeted everyone. I met my friends Geeta and Tina we hugged each other and cried. "I will miss us." I said. After crying and talking about our college memories, how we used to tease Tina and bunk the classes and we entered the auditorium where the ceremony is being held.

It was 6pm and the ceremony is finished. We said goodbye's and greetings to everyone.

When I finally reached my home, I saw my mom rushing outside carrying a containers with food. "mom, where are you going?" I asked. Mom suddenly drabbed my hand took me along with her and said, "I going to greet our next door family and you are coming with me." I know she wouldn't let me say no.

Its been a long time since I visited Arnav's house. We stood before the door and Mom knocked the door.

A tall man with messy hair and charming face in pajama's opened the door saying, "who is this?".

my, you are so handsome." mom said placing her mouth on her face. "We are from your next door. I thought you would be busy, so I brought food for you", mom added.

He was like an idol and I couldn't help myself from not staring at him.

"huh-uh, thank you very much. I am Vikrant ", he said to my mom and caught me looking at me and glanced back to my mom.

As soon as our eyes met. I turned my eyes away. " I am Mrs. Mehra and this is my daughter Akriti and she is going to work at Dixit interiors next week” My mom said.

"oh hello, I work at the same place. Nice to you, it you have any queries about the company meet feel free to talk to me” he said looking into my eyes.

I could feel his stares waiting for me to reply. I didn't know what to say. I know I am being greedy but I do not want anyone to move into this house filled with my memories of Arnav.

"nice to meet you too". I said hesitantly and glanced at him. He was looking into my eyes and smiling. Luckily I got a call, now I can escape I thought.

"mom I need to go", I said and glanced at Vikrant who was still looking at me "uh- bye", I said and rush out of the house.

I could hear him say. “ it was really nice meeting you. see you soon kriti!".

My face flushed hearing his words see you soon "kriti'. Why did he call me that? We just met and he is already calling me with a nickname? And why is my face so hot?

Get hold of yourself Akriti!

Vikrant’s pov

After sorting the house, I was so hungry and was about to go out. Suddenly I heard someone knocking my door. I opened the door wondering who might it be “who’s this?”, I said.

I saw a middle-aged woman and an young girl standing beside her. The woman answered me that she is from next door and she introduced her daughter Akriti. I glanced at her and I was surprised that she was staring at me. Oh god! why couldn’t I notice this pretty girl. I couldn’t take my eyes of her. I never felt like this. My heart was beating hard looking at her. She is special. she has brown eyes that almost caught me off guard. I couldn’t help myself from drowning into the beauty of her sparkling eyes.

She looked away every time our eyes met. I didn’t want her to do that I don’t know why. I felt like I can stay looking at her for years. When she was about to leave “it was really nice meeting you. See you soon kriti”, I said. Oh! She might be thinking I am creepy for suddenly calling her with a nickname.

Mrs. Mehra giggled noticing my expression. I invited her into my house. She handed me the containers and while I was placing the them on the table she said,” mm I am sorry for suddenly saying this but I want you to do a favor for me”.

Hearing her say this “how may I help you?”, I asked. “Akriti really loves this house, she used play here all the time with her late friend. Whenever she feels sad she comes to this house and sit on the terrace. If you don’t mind can I have the spare key for the terrace?”, she said.

“I don’t really mind”, I said handing her the spare key. “thank you son”, she said and left.

It was late night and I headed to my bedroom. I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t forget her eyes and shy face. She is the first girl that made me feel like this.

“Kriti huh”, I whispered and went to sleep.

Akriti’s pov

Its been a week after visiting Vikrant. Today is my first day at Dixit Interiors. I am so nervous. I don’t know what will happen later in office. I thought of asking Vikrant about the company but I was scared of meeting his eyes.

I woke up early and took a quick bath. I wore a white top and red solid blazer jacket and grey jeans. I went down carrying my bag.

“oh my! I can see a beautiful lady who was a kid until yesterday”, mom said placing her hand on her mouth. “you look beautiful dear”, dad said while hugging me and placing a kiss on my forehead.

“I am always beautiful it’s just that you guys have better sight now”, I said. Mom and dad chuckled.

“you can do it. Best of luck for your first day honey”, mom and dad said.

“yeah, bye sweeties!”, I said winking my eye.

I entered the Dixit Interior’s modern building. I scanned to locate my department.” Hey Kriti!”, I heard a familiar voice I turned around to see Vikrant heading straight to me. I hesitantly waited for him.

“I went to your house to pick you up but your mom said you already left”, he said looking straight into my eyes. “eh?”, I said raising my eyebrow questioningly. God! I can’t utter a word when he stares at me like that.

“we live near and work at the same place. So I thought why not go to office together”, he said. “huh-uh yeah”, I said. “let’s go inside.”, he said.

While we were walking I noticed few receptionist staring at Vikrant. He looks totally different than in pajamas. Girls tend to like guys in formal wear but I think he looks handsome in any outfit. Ah! Akriti what are you even thinking?

“hello guys! Meet our teammate Akriti”, Vikrant said.

“I am in your team?”, I said. “Yeah, yesterday I met the HR and she gave me the new employee details and I am this team’s leader.”, Vikrant said smiling towards me.

What? He is now my team leader who stays next door? Thinking that I looked at him who was already looking at me. Everyone noticed us and stared at him and then me. They giggled.

“uh- hello I am Akriti 22 years old, please take care of me.”, I said. I was introduced to Nidhin, Saharsh and Roohi who were in my team. while they were explaining me about the work we heard clattering sounds as everyone stood from their seats. Even my team members stood and I stood confusingly. A guy wearing suit completely in black from top to bottom. He looked so handsome and walked towards us with a man secretary beside him.

“He is our boss, CEO of this Interiors, Dev Dixit”, Vikrant said to me. I looked at him and then at boss. As soon as I saw him I opened my mouth in shock. “Arnav!?”, I said out loud and everyone stared at me.

“Kriti?”, Vikrant said looking at me. Everyone looked at me with questioning eyes.

“who is she?”, Dev said angrily looking at me and then at Vikrant. “she is new employee, Akriti.”, Vikrant said. I didn’t say anything I just stared at him. If Arnav was alive, he would exactly like him. When I was in my thoughts ignoring my surrounding. Glancing angrily at me he went to his cabin .

Is he Arnav? I wish it was him. As I was thinking of how he looked exactly like Arnav, “Akriti, boss is calling you”, the receptionist said.  Why is he calling me?

“Akriti be careful, the boss is so cold. I think he got angry of what happened before”, Roohi said patting my shoulder.

Why is he calling me? I am nervous. Ah Akriti why did you say Arnav’s name out loud!
