sorry. I was not aware of that," said Payal, biting her lower lip in a cute way that did not go unnoticed by Mihir who seemed to enjoy her reaction.

" Now may I know your name ? or else should I undergo some tests so that you will reveal your name," asked Mihir in a teasing tone raising his eyebrows.

"Sorry, sir. I am sorry. I didn't know what came to my mind when I spoke....." Blabbered payal noticing his cold tone. She thought he was hell angry with her behaviour before.

"Name?" Asked Mihir again little raise in his voice to send some chills to payal who seemed to get instant fear in her cute eyes.

"Payal. I have completed a fashion designing course this year. here is my curriculum and my sample designs" said payal in one go without wanting to drag any more sorry sessions.

Mihir sees the samples and says beautiful staring at her... He is damn attracted to her the way she speaks... The way she rolls her eyes... The way she bites her lips... It's damn cute… she is scared by his little angry voice that's what attracted him the most.

Siddharth enters and sees them. He looked tense. He wanted to talk to Mihir right now. Looking at the resume of payal, he knew she would be appointed now or later for sure.

"Look payal.. you are appointed.. you may join by tomorrow. Now you can leave. Now" said Siddharth stressing the last word a little louder so that the girl runs from there immediately

"Wowowowo thank you so much sir" screamed payal in happiness when Siddharth glared at the girl again with his sharp eyes making her gulp her happiness deep inside. She picked her files at once and left the cabin.

"If you want to agree to that contract, I have one condition" voiced Siddharth breaking the silence.

"Whatever, I will make sure you get it," said Mihir confidently.

"Keep Sister out of this at any cost," said Siddharth more like a warning to Mihir where Mihir nodded his head in approval as he too thought of the same. Though he is quite excited to work with everyone again, he knew his Sister would be the one who might be suffering the most.

"I have already informed my uncle about it. and he is already searching for someone to replace Sister in this project." Said Mihir consoling Siddharth to his best.

*******

.

After agreeing to the contract, no one could sleep peacefully. Siddharth made sure that he won't drag Ishu in between this mess again. Rather he would prefer to involve himself deep inside this mess. The night was so long for all. Meeting him again is not a little thing for Siddharth. He has to maintain his composure for everyone so that nothing could go wrong. The meeting was fixed by the next day.

Mishty receives a call.

"Miss.Mishti Gupta. I am calling from live music. " voiced the man who might be in his early 30s with his voice. Mishty twitched her eyebrows in confusion that who might be that person moreover he was sounding very professional. So she is sure that she is going to get some sort of job. But what?? Breaking from confusion Mishty jumped in joy, she knows live music for sure.

"Oh wow. I knew about live music. who are launching fresh bands for every season.. " beamed Mishty in happiness? Even though she is talented enough for an HR position in any company, her passion for music compelled her to learn them also.

" Thank you, mam. We have been searching for a new voice. And Miss. Geetha recommended you" said the man in his soft voice making Mishty widen her eyes in shock. She studied music from Geetha mam. But she didn't expect this opportunity to come like this. She is not even sure she could sing officially.

"Thank you. but.. singing. I don't know I could make it in your channel," said Mishty gulping her nervousness deep inside.

"It's just an audition. If you get selected, you may be working with us for the next eight months" the man said, making Mishti beam in happiness; she can't deny any opportunity right now. Anthe d singing was her dream since childhood.

" wow. where should I come?" Asked Mishty without any delay in her conversation.

Man: I will message the address.. thank you, ma'am

Mishty: yeah.. thank you so much

Mishty informs all. And everyone thanks their lord for such an opportunity.

" In this situation, we should not leave any opportunity. You should go," said Garima, making Mishty nod in agreement.

They get disturbed by the door knocking sound. Mishty opened the door and saw Payal with a sad face. She was upset. She is on the verge of crying. Looking at her state, Garima started panicking.

"What happened beta? How was your interview?" Inquired Garima looking at her daughter who has already started releasing some drops of tears.

"Drink water Payal," said madhumathi soothingly patting Payal to console her.

"Sister, if you don't get a job. That's not a problem. Please, don't remain like this sister. the naughty smile only suits you" said Mishty hugging her sister tightly.

"Yes, payal. If u didn't get a job that's ok," said Garima who was worried about her daughter's state.

"What will I do now? I can't play with Sonu subu and all others. Posted payal with little tears in her eyes

"I can not watch TV all day. I can't eat when I get hungry. I can't flirt with Salman ji all the time. I can't dance and roam all the time.." She continued her complaints, wiping her tears making all hell worry.

"why? what happened?" Asked madhumathi in her worried voice

"because God has punished me by giving Job responsibilities. I am a small 23 years old girl.. how would I manage all things? " asked Payal in her cute pouting voice, making everyone widen their eyes in disbelief.

By saying this she gives a naughty smile. Mishty and payal shout and sing together.

Garima cries in happiness. Aunt hugs payal.

"If your father came to know this. he would be." started Aunt only to be cut off by Mishty

Mishty: no one will talk about that man. who left us when we needed him.
