When Shefali Pandya 'Ami' Ha came to know that her boss Sanjay had feelings for her and wanted to have a relationship with her, she didn't believe it for a second. Her boss Sanjay must have been around forty-five to fifty years old, while Neha was still in her thirties. For that it was necessary to do this job. He and Sakar got married against the wishes of both the families. Of course, when Sakar was alive, Neha had no problem. So much so that Sakar's love made him forget the pain of leaving his parents. Now she remembers her parents, whenever there is any occasion of happiness or joy. Sakar loved him immensely and Neha on the other hand loved him equally. Both were happy, days were passing with each other. However, the happiness of Neha and Sakar was not approved by nature. One night Sakar, who came back from office, suddenly got chest pain and Sakar left Neha before the ambulance arrived. That time Neha called both her parents and mother-in-law, none of the elders from both sides showed sympathy or willingness to come. Neha managed everything single-handedly with the help of neighbors. It was so good that Sakar's boss Sanjay told Neha, 'Neha, Sakar's loss will not be enough, but the post that Sakar was on, that post will now be yours.' And Neha's eyes were flooded. In the circumstances that he had cursed her, this man offered her a job instead of her husband, thinking about her future. At that time it occurred to Neha that how much a gentleman! Today he was getting angry with the same gentleman. How can he think so? Even though she is single, she is the widow of a young man who used to work in her company. How easily Sanjay had told her, 'Neha, I have feelings for you. I want your support in my life. Will you support me?' The limit is over! Who says so? Any girl? He remembered this and understood. what to do For several nights, Neha rubbed her sides remembering this. While going to the office, she tried her best not to face Sanjay. However, she was not unaware that there were murmurs of this among the staff. That's why she was thinking that she should find another job, but how? He had just completed his graduation and it was difficult to get any good job with that degree. Neha was constantly spinning in a whirlwind of thoughts. One evening when all the office staff had left, Peon came to Neha and said, 'Madam, Sir is calling you.' Sanjay had made sure that there was no one in the office except the two of them. Neha started thinking. what to do To go to Sanjay or not to go? If he goes, Sanjay has to answer something and if he doesn't go, there is a fear of losing his job. Neha went to Sanjay's cabin. Standing outside the cabin for five minutes, he took a deep breath and knocked on the door. The answer came from inside, 'Yes, come-in…' Neha went inside. Sanjay asked her to sit on the chair. As she sat, Sanjay said, 'Neha, you may have felt bad for me, but to tell the truth, I have not met a girl so far who is as loving and practical as you.' Neha sat looking down. Sanjay continued, 'Neha, I have told my parents about you and they are ready to accept you. I like you. If you don't mind, come to my house this Sunday. We will have lunch together.' Hearing this, Neha suddenly looked at Sanjay. There were tears in his eyes. She said, 'Sanjay, you think so much for me and how I used to think for you. I'm sorry, I didn't understand you…' Before he could say anything else, Sanjay put his hand over his mouth. With the other hand, Neha held him in his arms.
