If I'm saying this wrong, then just know that I don't give a fuck.
I'm not a Bollywood fan or rather a movie fan but staying with Dev will tell you the basics of it.

I think these lines act same with the things that you don't want in your life. The fucking universe just keeps throwing it on your way.

Right now, the girl standing in front of me, in a white salwar kameez with her silky hair straight, bold lipstick trying to convince me to not fire her, is crossing my path since I've stepped my foot here in India.

But the funny part is I can't listen to a word she's saying.

Because all I can see and hear, is a 10 year old, running towards the stairs, stopping midway just to turn around and call me an Idiot, that too on my birthday!!

Flashback
My birthday

I'm turning 15 this year with the same questions running inside my head and the same nightmare that has been haunting since that day

My mother used to tell me that I was born lucky but I soon proved her wrong when some astrologer told my dad that I was born during amavas

The dark night. The evil night.

Baba believes in astrology, to an extent that he even plans his day according to his stars,
stars that are already fucked up!

And hence my birthday is never celebrated and I can't be more glad due to that horrifying memory of my tenth birthday!

I don't remember clearly what happened that night, on my 10th birthday.

Just a bits and pieces of it...

We visiting the Rajput palace....Baba entering that room in the palace with a lady behind him......loud screaming......the blood.....I can't breathe at this point

I'm was so scared

Imagine a 10 year old looking at his father whose hands are covered in blood with some dangerous screams running in the background.

Yeah I deal with this horrifying moment every night in my nightmares!

But as I grew up, the event didn't happen again, yet no one was allowed in that room

The band darwaza! What's behind it?

But before I could find out, my mother made me promise her during her death that I won't allow anyone near the room nor I myself would step a foot near it.

So that's exactly what I'm doing right now

Stopping this girl from entering that room, but she's standing in front of me showing her petty attitude.

I didn't knew how to react when I saw her running, calling me an idiot and then running again

I looked at her retreating back, her long hair flowing in a rhythm with the air..

Magical!!

"Yeh Rajkumari Samaira Arnav Rajput hai, aur ab humare saath hi rahegi" I heard Dev's voice behind me.

"Tumhe kaise pata?" I asked

"Maine kal baba aur Aarav uncle ko bolte hue suna" his eyes held a different glow while talking about her. That's when my eyes fell on a piece of paper in his hand. I quickly grabbed it

"Nahi Bhai! Ye Mera hai!" He snatched it from my hand and ran away

What's with people and running today!

As I was getting down, my mind went back to that long haired girl again..

Samaira. Samaira Rajput

Flashback ends

Her voice made me snap back to reality

It's her!

She looks different now! Good different, but still the same attitude

And for a fact she called me an idiot, TWICE!!!!

Dev must have sent her resume to Rahil assuming I could hire her and keep her in my company so that he can play the good guy and make her fall for him and end up asking for her hand in marriage

Trust me, Dev can do this!! I know him inside out! That guy is insane when it comes to "love". He just keeps plotting these stupid ideas and gets himself in trouble and in the end expects me to help him clear the mess.

His mess!

But this time, it's not happening

He's not a kid anymore. He knows what's better for himself so I won't interfere this time.

He can do whatever the hell he wants and I won't care

I'm well aware if I don't hire her right now, he will go and do some other stupid shit to keep her near him.

I feel bad for her though but I will not interfere with Dev this time

I know people would tell me to make him understand, stop him and blah blah blah...

He's 25!!!!!

And I'm done being the nice guy here!

"You're hired" I say to her with a bored expression.

I see her expressions turning into some shocked ones.

I'm sorry dove, but I'm not gonna help you from what's coming for you!

Don't hate him, okayyyyyyyy??!!!!!

Just wait for Dev's reaction when he gets to know about Samaira working for the Arora's?

It's going to be so interesting!!
