Next morning

After Ahvi finished freshening up, she took her time getting dressed before making her way up to the rooftop. As she reached the top, she gazed up at the sky, which was overcast with thick clouds. The air felt heavy and humid, and there was a slight breeze blowing through her hair.

Ahvi had always loved the rain, and she had a feeling that it was going to pour soon. She decided to stay on the rooftop for a while and enjoy the cool breeze and the possibility of raindrops falling on her skin. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, feeling the anticipation of the rain building within her.

However, her peaceful moment was quickly interrupted by the sound of her phone pinging. She opened her eyes and checked the notification, momentarily forgetting about the rain.

Ahvi was in for a surprise when she received a message from an unknown number that read: "Don't think of getting wet in the rain Ahvi, you will fall sick." She was surprised because she never expressed her thoughts so freely. Before she could even process the message, another message appeared: "Don't stress thinking who I am. Just know that I know you more than you know yourself." Ahvi was agitated by the message and decided to respond: "Who are you? Stop playing games with me." The message was marked as seen by the other person, and within seconds, Ahvi's phone started ringing. It was an unknown number calling her. She hesitated for a moment before answering the call.

Ahvi: Hello

Unknown: Hello

A deep and husky voice came from the other side. Ahvi couldn't help but fall in love with the voice.

Ahvi: Who is this?

Unknown: Don't stress thinking who I am. Just know that I know you more than you know yourself.

The man repeated his previous answer.

Ahvi: What do you want?

The person on the other side chuckled and said
" Don't worry. I will take revenge on each person who did bad to you. Ab andar jao Ahvi. ", then he cut the call. ( Now go inside Ahvi )

Ahvi looked at her phone for a couple of minutes and went inside.

When she went inside Tanvi's apartment, she saw that Tanvi was still sleeping. So, she took the laptop and started searching for jobs. She studied home and garden design earlier. So, she thought it would be easy to search and get jobs.

But sadly she was wrong. She couldn't find a job in home and garden design but found a job as an assistant for a car designer. She applied for it and went to wake Tanvi up.

" Tanvi!"

" Tanvi! Uth ja"

" Umhm...mtscha...sone de ja ywaar" ( let me sleep)

Ahvi shaked her head and said " dopeher ke 12 baj gaye hai. Uth.' ( It is noon. Wake up.)

" Kya?!?!" Tanvi woke up panicking and looked at the clock only to see that it was 6:30 am.

" Offo mein kese bhul sakti hu ki tu pehle bhi mujhe ese hi uthaya karti thi " Tanvi said as she giggled.

" I applied for a job as an assistant," Ahvi said as Tanvi got up from her bed.

When Tanvi heard what Ahvi said she said " That's a good thing. I hope you get the job."

" Yeah I hope for the same " Ahvi said with a sigh.

🌼

In the afternoon, Ahvi was reading a book while sipping her coffee. Tanvi was a lawyer, so she was not home. That's when her phone pinged.
It was a message from the company where she applied for the job.

It said that she was going to have a meeting with the CEO of the car company at 4 pm.

Ahvi furrowed her eyebrows at first but then she kept her book and she went to the kitchen and washed the cup in which she was having coffee.

She looked at the clock and saw it was already 3:15. She got up and went to get ready.

She chose a beautiful white kurta and a pair of jeans with it. She wore her white sneakers, took her bag and went out of the apartment.

She took a taxi to the company.

On her way, she left a message to Tanvi that she left for her interview.

Paying the taxi driver, she went into the company only to find the carpet at the entrance was upside down. She kept it in the right way with the help of her leg and went inside. She looked at her wristwatch and she saw that she was 5 mins early.

She went to the receptionist and told her, her name. The receptionist told her to wait for some minutes in the waiting area.

She sat there for at least 15 minutes without any annoying expression, when her name was called and the receptionist took her to the CEO's cabin. She smiled at the receptionist, thanking her and knocked on the door of the cabin 3 times.

Ahvi

" Come in, " a voice said.

I went inside and saw a man sitting on the revolving chair.

" Good morning Sir " I wished.

He just nodded and looked up at me.

He was handsome.

He looked at me with a weird look and said " Do you think you can work as my assistant wearing this type of clothes? You look like a behenji. Can you even speak in English?"

I looked down at my clothes. The audacity of this man!

I looked up at him and said " Oh so here employees are judged by their looks? Not by their talent? "

Boom! I hurt his ego. I could see in his eyes. He was angry.

" Do you know to whom you are speaking to? You are speaking to ?" He asked in anger.

" Yes, I know," I said but the reality is I don't fucking know. Why? Because I didn't bother to know his name. Great! Very great of me!

" What is my name? " He asked me in anger.

I was going to open my mouth when there was a knock on the door.

" Come in " this man before me said.

" Abhishek Sir...the makeup artist for today's launch is not well and we only have 1 and a half hours for the launch.

" So? Go and fetch some makeup artist from somewhere." This rude man said. Wait this guy said Abhishek Sir. So his name is Abhishek. Yeah!

" Sir no one is ready to come here." The guy said.

" I can do the makeup," I said.

Abhishek Sir raised one eyebrow and looked at me.

" You? You didn't do any mak-"

" You have only 1 hour 25 minutes Sir," I said.
" Choose wisely."

Abhishek Sir looked at me with anger and then said " Fine but one mistake and you are fired."

And he walked out. No before saying " Come with me."

I walked out of his cabin and saw the boy who saved me from this rude boss. I called him and asked " Hey! What is Abhishek Sir's full name?"

He looked at me in disbelief and said " You don't know Abhishek Sheikh? The topmost car designer?"

I nodded and walked away from him.

What? I got my answer.
His name is Abhishek Sheikh.

Thank God!

As we reached the location, Sir held my arm and guided me towards the green room. It was a bustling space, filled with the chatter of models and the click of camera shutters. Some models were sitting on the couch, chatting and giggling, while others were standing in front of the mirror, fixing their outfits or checking their makeup. A few models were busy creating new reels and experimenting with different angles and expressions.

I eagerly went to the vanity table, which was adorned with a myriad of makeup products, and started working on the models' makeup. The models had fair skin, so I opted for a light and minimalistic touch, choosing soft hues and simple hairstyles that would enhance their natural beauty. I carefully applied foundation, concealer, and blush, paying attention to each model's unique features. I also added a hint of shimmer to the eyes and a touch of gloss to the lips, adding a subtle yet glamorous touch.

Despite the rush and busyness of the environment, I managed to finish the makeup of 11 models within 50 minutes. As I worked, I could feel someone's gaze on me, and turning around, I caught Abhishek Sheikh staring at me. His intense gaze made me feel both nervous and flattered, and I quickly turned back to my work, focusing on making the models look their best.

As soon as I finished styling, I looked up at him and saw that his face was lit up with an expression of pure admiration. He walked towards me, his gait confident and his demeanour self-assured, and said, "I never thought that a person who couldn't style themselves properly could style others so well."

I felt a sense of pride wash over me; it was a validation of all the hard work I had put into perfecting my craft. I gave him a nod, trying to convey my gratitude through my eyes, and then began packing my things.

It was at that moment that he made me an offer that I had never anticipated. "You are my assistant from now on," he said, his voice brimming with confidence. "Come to the company tomorrow, sign the contract, and start working. And, you're also the makeup artist for all of the models in my launch programs. Payment for today will be made by tomorrow. Alright?"

I felt a rush of excitement at the thought of working alongside such an influential person in the industry. I could already picture myself in the thick of the action, being a part of something great. "Thank you, sir," I replied, my voice brimming with excitement.

As I turned to leave the room, he said, "I will drop you." I hesitated at first but then decided to walk with him towards the car. As we walked, I couldn't help but take in the luxurious surroundings and the effortless confidence that he exuded. It was like I was walking into a new world, one that was full of promise and opportunity.
