I still remember the day when I saw her for the first time. For me that day was the saddest but for Muskan, she was spreading her smile like always.
I was a guy who enclosed myself in between the walls of books and expectations. She pulled me out into the outside world along with her. Before meeting her I was just breathing, eating, studying and sleeping. She taught me how to live life. She taught me how a smile can change the world.
Muskan’s smile was her introduction. But when I met her after 10 long years that smile had lost its way. It was not there. Instead she had a crease on her forehead. Why?
If things were in my hand, I would have hugged her tight in the midst of so many people at that time. But the look with which she was looking at me was screaming and telling me, "Sit right there, Jay. Don't come near me."
For me Muskan's wish comes first. I can never disobey her. Her aura, vibe and personality seemed a little changed at that moment, but I had no time to notice that because I was on the seventh heaven.
Thus hiding my happiness I greeted her like a businessman.
"Sir she's our executive manager and also our team leader for this project. Ms-"
"Nice to meet you, Ms. Muskan Singh."
Riya thought that she was introducing them for the first time, but when Jay cut her in the middle and extended his hand by guessing Muskan's name, she felt as if they already knew each other. But for her, this assumption was proved to be wrong when she got an explanation from his side.
"How do you know our ma'am's name? You guys have met each other before?"
"Yes, of course. I've met them before."
Hearing Jay's answer, a wave of fear ran across Muskan's face. which he caught.
"I mean, in the documents. You only said that she is your team leader. I saw it in the files."
Riya and everyone else was convinced by this lie of Jay except Ted. Because he knew that he had not read any document that contained any such information, but he remained silent. And the meeting went on.
The discussions went on smoothly and both the parties seemed quite satisfied. It was time to leave. When everyone was leaving the room one-by-one, the Deputy CEO of Roy’s wanted to have a talk with Muskan. Thus he asked both Riya and Ted to leave the room for some time.
“Ms. Riya, can you lead me to the cafeteria? I need to grab something to eat.” Even though Ted was unaware of things, he still understood his assignment from his boss and attempted to take Riya with him and give them some space.
With Muskan’s permission she led the way to the cafeteria.
"Hi Muskan, how are you? I can't believe I'm seeing you here. I also went to the reunion yesterday, hoping to meet you, but after going there I found out that you never come to reunions. You had no idea how happy-"
"You are mistaking me for someone else. Mr. Roy.”
