Chapter 13 - Male Lead

 While Ridhima is still in her thoughts, she suddenly hears a commotion. She looks towards that direction and finds out that her boss and Samira are coming for breakfast in the canteen. 

 She can't believe this. Her boss never eats with them. The only exception is that dinner which he has with top employees. But now, he is even holding hands with Samira. 

Even though she understands that her boss has no feelings for her, it is impossible to ignore that he is acting so lovingly with someone else in a short time. 

 She feels her heart is cracking a little. A pain that is breaking her heart a little by little. But anyway, she is going to die, and with her death, this pain will also disappear. Thinking this, Ridhima, leave that place.

 She once again focused on her project, and two days passed this way. They have a day off on Saturday and Sunday. So she works quite late on Friday. She even takes her file with her so she can focus on her work on the weekend. 

"You should enjoy a little" System can't help but say. 

"Yeah...after this project, I will relax", Ridhima said. 

"You know, life is like those new clothes, which you keep for special occasions. But when the special occasion comes, either you are too fat or too thin for that dress. So..."

"I know, but I am working for so long that I even forget how to enjoy life. I don't have any friends; my only friend is Ram, and now he is not even in town. So I wanted to work, so this way when he returns, we can do something or eat outside" 

"Why don't you make new friends?" System questions. 

"It is a hassle to make new friends, and anyway, I am going to die in just a few days, so I shouldn't get involved too much", Ridhima replied. On which system don't say anything. But it hopes that Ridhima will come out of her shell sooner or later. 

 Maybe God is also on the system's side, but while they left the office, it is a little late, so Ridhima is driving her car super fast, but suddenly she sees someone standing in the road. She immediately stops the car, but her car is in too fast and it stops in a very dramatic way. Ridhima can't help but feel her adrenaline rise. 

"Hey, are you an idiot? Why are you standing in between the road?" Ridhima understands that she can't directly go outside, but at least she can vent her anger by talking through the car window. But that person was directly towards her. That man is wearing a hoodie, and his face is masked. Ridhima, seeing this, got scared and wanted to start her car, but that man had already reached at her window. And already knocked on her window and remove his mask. 

 Ridhima, who was previously scared, now gets too surprised. Because in front of her is none other than the very male lead of their story. It is Mahendra Verma. She is not even able to take her eyes from him. He is that devilishly handsome. Her boss is also handsome, but this man.....Oh my God, such eye candy. 

 So now, who is Mahendra Verma? He is the superstar and also the rumoured boyfriend of Samira. He is also one of the richest people in the country, and his father is a very famous producer and actor. So overall all he is like those cool male leads. But the question is, why is he in front of her? 

 "If you have seen my face enough, can we talk?" Mahendra questions her. Ridhima, who is looking at his face even without blinking, feels her face turn red. 

"You can come inside, I am not going outside", Ridhima said while unlocking the car door." 

"So, Ridhima Sen, you must have recognised me. After all, who is in this country who doesn't know this superstar?" Mahendra questions as soon as he takes his seat.

"Yes, I know, but don't you think you are boasting too much?" Ridhima can't help but say. 

"No, I am telling you reality. There are thousands of people waiting so that they can meet me. But here you are meeting me without any effort." Mahendra replied. 

"Okay, but what good deeds I do, so the great Mahendra Verma, is here to meet this nobody?" Ridhima questions. 

"Okay, I will come to the point. On Sunday evening, there is a party where only celebrities and businessmen are invited. I am also one of the guests, so Mr Vikramaditya" Mahendra then take a pause. 

"So you wanted me to stop him?" Ridhima can't help but question. 

"No, no, if I want that, I don't need you. I only need you to attend the party with me," Mahendra decided to come directly to the point. 

"What? But why me? I am not a celebrity and not even an actor. So why me?. You should choose someone from the same background. I don't even know what you guys do at those parties," Ridhima replied. 

"I am choosing you because you are too beautiful", Mahendra said, on which she only glared towards him. 

"Okay, I am inviting you because I wanted to make Samira and Vikram jealous. If I take anyone else, the impact will not be as strong as you," Mahendra replied. 

"I understand about Samira, but I don't think that boss will feel jealous," Ridhima replied with a matter-of-fact tone. 

"See, I have limited time. So please tell me, if you are not interested, I will find someone else, "Mahendra asked.

It makes Ridhima remember the words of the system. Life is giving her a chance to see the new side of life. Maybe she will never get this chance. 

 And more than that, she has this little hope that her boss might really feel jealous. At least for one moment, she wanted her boss to feel a little part of the pain she felt. 

 What she doesn't know is that this decision will bring a storm in her life.
