Siddharth
She has changed. Her waist long black hair was now brown in colour and cut to short. It was tied in a neat pony tail. Her appearance was totally different. The formal attire gave her a professional look. My gaze moved to her face again. She was looking at me. I felt there was a familiar look in her eyes but it faded quickly and replaced with a questioning look. I heard someone clearing his throat. That's when I realized that I was staring at her for a long time. I turned my face while clearing my throat.
"This is Priyadarshini Ranganath, your new personal assistant. And she is here to join today." Josh said. "Good morning Mr. Aryan." She greeted me. She sounded very professional. I looked at her again. There was no familiarity. Josh hit me with his elbow. That brought me back from the trance.
"So where have you been?" I asked her. She looked at me confused. "Excuse me." She asked with a questioning look. "Sid." Josh warned me.
Shit. What is with me now? "I mean where you have been working before." I tried to mask my anxiety. She is standing in front of me. The girl I have been searching for 4 months. I have so many questions to ask her. I feel happy and angry at the same time. She owes me an explanation. But I felt really happy that she finally came to me.
"I don't have any previous experience. This is my first job. I just completed my graduation previous year." She replied without showing any familiarity.
"You did your graduation from Bangalore right. When did you come to Mumbai?" I asked again.
"I have been here for 6 months now. I have been searching for a job from then. And finally I got selected here." She said cheerfully.

Oh God. It's so confusing. She was here for 6 months. But it's been only 4 months when I and Aami met. Is she really some other girl? But I am having this feeling that this girl is Aami. But why is she behaving like she doesn't know me? She is still not showing any kind of emotions. Is she really Aami? Or is it just the same face? Does she have any sister?
"Do you have a twin sister?" I asked suddenly. She looked at me with a weird expression. "What? No. I don't have any sisters. I am a single child." She was confused. Josh was also giving me a weird look. She is a single child. Then how come their faces are so similar? "Do you have any other names? Like any pet names?" I was getting really curious now.
Now she was getting annoyed. "No. I don't have any pet names. But everyone calls me Priya." She said with irritation.
"Have you travelled to Karnataka recently?" I asked again.
"Excuse me; is this a job interview or a personal interview? Why do you want to know about my personal matters?" she was getting angry now.
"Don't you remember me? We met in that motel. The goons. The police. The temple...." I was cut off by her angry voice.
"What are you saying Mr. Aryan? I haven't seen you before. This is the first time we are seeing each other. I don't understand a single word that you are saying. If you didn't want me to work here I will leave. Thank you for your time." She stood up immediately walked towards the door. I sighed and covered my face with my palms. I am so confused now.
"Priya. Hey. Wait." Josh gave me a questioning look and run towards her. "See. Priya . He must have mistaken you with someone else. I'm sorry. He is not like this usually. Please don't leave. Come. We will discuss." He said to her.

She stopped and turned towards me. I can't let her go. I have to find the truth. My instinct was telling me that this is Aami. But why is she denying it. I was just trying to help her and she was the one who left me. There must be some reason and I have to find it. For that I want her near me. I can't let her go this time. I will make her to say the truth.
I took a deep breath and said. "I. I am sorry. I must have mistaken you with someone else. Please don't leave. I am extremely sorry."
She gave me a doubtful look and looked at Josh. He gave her a reassuring nod. "Ok." She said. I felt relived. This time I won't let you slip away that easily. I will see how long you will play this drama.
"So, it's fixed. You are joining today. Come with me. I will introduce you to Natasha. She will tell you what and all are your duties and how to do it." Josh said and led the way.
When she reached the door I called out for her. "Aami."
She stopped on her tracks. Slowly she turned to face me. "Excuse me, Sir. My name is Priyadarshini." She said firmly.
I raised my eyebrows and a smirk appearing on my lips. Really, Aami? Fine. So you want to play right. Here we go Priyadarshini. Two can play the game. You will see a different Sid now onwards. I will make you spit the truth. You better have a good reason Aami. Because I'm Siddharth Aryan and Aryan's never forgive and never forget. Let the game begin.
