TRULY YOURS

When he started speaking, girls would propose him within 2 minutes of hearing his voice.  But he never allowed any girl to come near him.  Who knows what he was waiting for? 

The boy came inside the shop and Amrita was still staring at him.  

“Stop staring at me as if you haven't seen any boy. " Veer said angrily. 

Amrita broke her trance and cleared her throat and said, “I'm sorry, I didn't want to make you uncomfortable.  I just didn't expect that you would be so….” Amrita stopped while speaking. 

"Looking so good"Veer asked 

“Yes” Amrita said 

“Not your fault.  No one expects the people living here to be so well-dressed and well-mannered.  Well leave all these things.  Can we start work?” Veer asked while sitting on his chair. 

“Yes of course” said Amrita, sitting on the chair in front of him, opened her laptop and started showing her presentation. After an hour, Amrita finished her presentation and started looking at Veer with hopeful eyes. 

Veer had liked this project but did not want to tell it yet, so he just smiled and started reading all the information. 

Veer liked the fact that through this project many children will get warm clothes to wear and some women who want to work will also get work.  Overall, the people of their area will progress.  

Veer said to Amrita “Okay.  I want to study this project better.  Give me one more week and I will answer you. ,

“Yes alright.  Looking forward to hearing from you.  After saying this, Amrita started packing her bag. 

When she came out of the shop, she saw that it was dark and her clothes were also small.  Due to which she did not like going out at night in Dharavi.  

Veer, who was understanding her dilemma while sitting in the shop, got up and came to her and said, "let's go I will drop you to your car ."

“Yes, thank you very much. Next time I will come dressed appropriately. “ Amrita started walking with him. 

While leaving, Amrita saw children playing cricket in the middle of the road. Some people are sitting in front of a paan shop, smoking cigarettes and chatting.  Women are sitting in front of their house and talking. All this was new for Amrita. In his society people meet like this only in parties.  they spends their life alone every day.  

While walking further, they also saw some boys who were staring at Amrita after seeing her dress. When Veer saw those people, he started walking closer to Amrita. When both of them reached near his car. Amrita said thank you and sat in the car. 

"No problem.  Just reach home safely. I will call you next week and tell you your decision. “ Veer said and closed the door. 

“Yes thank you once again and good night.” Speaking, Amrita asked the driver to go home.Throughout the way Amrita was thinking only about Veer. His muscles, his muscular body, his smile. How when he did not understand a point, he would raise his eyebrows and ask about that point again. How he was trying to understand the project while looking at Amrita. 

Just thinking this, Amrita reached her home.  Tired, she went straight to her room and slept. Bharti ji wake her up and said, “At least eat something.” ,

Making faces, Amrita got up and came back to the hall to have dinner with her father and sister.  

Saying “hey guys” Amrita started checking all the dishes. 

“How was your day today, Amrita ? I heard that you went to Dharavi today in connection with this new project. “ Vishwas ji asked Amrita 

“Yes papa.  it went very well.  Answer will be received next week.  Hoping for some positive response from them. While speaking, Amrita started smiling. 

“But why do you want to work with those poor people? You can't trust them, you don't know when they will betray you and cheat you. “ Vishwas ji warned. 

“No papa, it is not like that.  In fact those people seemed genuine to me.  And anyway, if this project is successful then I will get international recognition.  I will be able to expand my business abroad also. “ Amrita said while assuring Vishwas ji. 

"Ok. just be careful.” Vishwas ji said 

“Now that the business talk is over, please have your food. Take more chapatis, Amrita. “While speaking, Bharti ji started serving food in Amrita 's plate.
