SIYA'S P.O.V.
Learning from previous mistakes today, I woke up 6 in the morning. I did my bathing and then applied nourishments to my body and went down in casual kurti pants.
I went down and made breakfast for the kids. As I will go before, they wake up. After making the breakfast, I ran upstairs to get ready in my uniform given by the store. Soon, I reached the store and started to put all the clothes and cosmetics at their places.
On Sundays, there is more rush in the store. In fact, on Sundays, the owner of the store conducts a secret inspection. So, on this my colleagues are very careful because they all want to get in good books.
Shop opens at 10 a.m. Everybody is in hustle bustle as the shop will be opening soon.

It was lunch break I and my friend Lakshmi we both were eating our lunch gossiping about our lives. She is my only friend here, and she always treats me well. She is in college doing fashion designing.
"So how is your singing going in that club." She asked and didn't say anything.
"Actually, I wanted to come. One of my friends he really likes singing n all that stuff." She asked.
I raised brow and looked at her face she was literally blushing. First of all, I have never heard her talking about a boy. I was literally shocked.
"Ummm, what do you mean by he. Can you tell me in thoda detail." and then I give her my brightest smile.
(thoda - some)
"Okk, so in short, he is my boyfriend. We fell in love 2 years back." She said, locking at me. I was shocked to be an understatement. Two years, she is telling me now.
"Wow!! Two years, and you are telling me now." I faked anger, and I know I am very terrible at showing my anger.
"I am sorry, na. Please forgive your friend. She knows she made a terrible mistake but forgives her, please, and she will never make this type of mistake again. See, she swears." Saying this, she cutely pinched some of her skin from her neck, and that's the end. I couldn't suppress my laugh, and I burst into laugh. Soon, she also burst into laugh.
"I am really happy for you. You deserve all the happiness." At least someone is happy.
"You know you are very bad because you always make me cry." She said, seeing my emotional face.
"Dekhna tujhe bhi apna soulmate milega. Very soon." She said and I laughed wholeheartedly.
("See, you will also find your soulmate. Very Soon.")
"Ok, so tell me when your next performance is because I want him to know my bestie." She told me and hugged me.
I wrapped my hands around her and said, "Actually, I... I left my job." Now it was her turn to get shocked.
"WHAT. WHY. WHEN." She shouted. I turned to see if there was anyone or not, and thankfully, there was no one.
"I left yesterday." And told her all the things that happened.
After some time, "Thank god you left the club Siya and tell Riya that she did an amazing job slapping that bastard." She was so happy that Riya di slapped Vikram.
"Ok, now can we go as I have told everything. Also, lunch break is over." I said, smiling.
AUTHOR'S P.O.V.
Siya was working on the cosmetics section of the V.I.P. room. No one was present their as their break has just been over. New perfumeries were introduced to the collection. She has arranged all the new perfume bottles at their places. She was sitting on a table reading about new perfumes launched. A customer approached her, asking for details of perfume.
"Hello, good afternoon, sir. How may I help you." She said politely.
"I want to give my girlfriend a perfume as a gift. Please help me with this. Dont worry about the amount." The customer said.
"Sure, sir, please head this way." Siya said.
She took out a paper strip and sprayed some perfume on it. She forwarded it to the customer. He took it and started smelling it.
Meanwhile, Siya started explaining about the perfume, "Sir, this perfume made with roses and jasmines. Roses signify love and beauty, while jasmine symbolizes purity and grace, collectively representing romance and elegance in cultural traditions worldwide."
She further added, "Sir, may I ask you if there is any occasion or you are gifting her without any occasion?"
"It's her birthday." He said, smiling.
"Your smiles say you love her so much."
"Yupp, she is my everything, and I would like to buy this one."
"Ok, sir. Do you want to buy anything else."
"Umm, yes, why not you show me some simple sarees not that heavy but very beautiful."
"Sure, sir, I will take you to the head of the clothing section, Ms. Chetna. She will surely suggest you one of the beautiful sarees." She said and moved towards the clothing section.
"Ms. Chetna, sir wants some simple sari for her girlfriend. Can you please show him?" Siya said to Chetna to in return, she nodded. Then she went towards her department.
She started to suggest other customers.

She finally sighed after all the customers left. When she had a call from Chetali telling her to come to her department. Siya hurriedly left after telling Lakshmi to take care in the absence of her.
"Yes, Ms. Chetali, what happened?" Siya asked.
Chetali took her to the corner, squeezing her hand forcefully.
"You bitch, when you can't handle the customer, you give them to me so you can replace me." She twisted her hand with so much force that she yelped in pain.
"Are you crazy? What are you saying?" She asked her.
"Pichle doh ghante meh usse ek bhi saree nhi kharidi aur mujhe pata hai tune jaan mooch k ek choosy customer bheja . Agar vo choosy mhi hota toh tu khud usse handle krti." Chetali said.
("Last two hours he didn't buy a single saree and you intentionally sent me a choosy customer to me. If he hadn't sucked, you'd handle it yourself." )
She freed her hands from her and said, "Toh me kya kru isme meri galti nhi hai. Tumhara he kehna tha na ki me tumhare customer cheen leti hu islia mene sir ko tumhare pass bheja. Unhe tumhari choice pasand nhi aayi toh me kuch nhi kar sakti."
("It's not my fault what should I do. You said that I always take your customer, so I sent the customer to you. If they don't like your choice, I can't do anything.")
"Uss gadhe customer ko tum he sambhalogi samjhina." Chetali pointed her finger on Siya. In which she nodded.
("You're going to take care of this customer.")
"At least as employe you should respect him, Chetali." Siya turned and watched the customer standing in his glory and listening to their conversation. She was very embarrassed.
"I am so sorry, sir. You shouldn't have heard that." Siya joined her hands.
"Hey, its ok you don't have to say sorry. It's not your fault." He said politely.
"Hmm. Thank you, but...." Before Siya could say anything, Chetali interrupted.
"I am so sorry she was insulting you. When I said you want her help. She said no directly. I was trying to tell her to help you, but she was in no mood of listening." Chetali said looking at the customer. Siya was shocked at accuse she faced, but it was not new.
"I know who said which lines. You don't need to be worried, and you are fired." The customer said and took Siya's hand took her out of place and Siya as still in shock.
"So, Ms. Siya would you show me some sarees?" He asked politely.
"Huh, didn't you fire me right now?" She questioned in shock.
In which he replied, "No, why would I?" Siya smiled and murmured a Thank God. She already lost one job, now she couldn't afford another one.
They moved towards saree collections.
"Actually, can you tell me her age?" She asked hesitantly.
"Yes, why not. She is 52"
"Huh sorry kya bola?"
("Huh sorry what did you say?")
"She is 52." He again said.
"No no she must be 25 and you must be joking." She said laughing.
"You can't make me fool." She again laughed thinking about his girlfriend.
Unknown to her he was admiring her smile, her beauty, her beautiful eyes and most probably her innocence. Seeing this a smile appeared on his face too. He frowned when she stopped laughing. She realized she may have hurt him. She quickly apologized to him.
"Okk I will show you a saree. It is a very simple one but looks very elegant and unique. There is only one piece of this saree." She said taking and opened it. He was also mesmerized seeing the saree and didn't took a second to select it. She asked him that he wants to buy anything or not. In which he said no. She took him to billing counter.
"Sir how would you like to pay card or cash?"
"Cash."
"Can you please tell me your contact number and name, sir?"
"Hmm. 9********0. My name...."
"MR. VIHAAN OBEROI. Ohh, you are our regular customer, but I have never seen you." She said, packing the gifts and give them to him.
"Thank you, sir please visit us again." She said with a genuine smile.
