Jaya stands in front of her closet, carefully selecting her attire for the day. She methodically arranges her clothes, a sense of purpose evident in her actions.

As she meticulously settles her attire, her mobile phone suddenly rings, interrupting her routine. She picks it up and answers.

Jaya: Hello?

Caller (Naman): Hello, am I speaking to Jaya Shukla?

Jaya, momentarily taken aback by the unfamiliar name mix-up but undeterred, attempts to correct the caller.

Jaya (gently correcting): Actually, it's Jaya Sinha.

Naman (continuing without notice): Hello ma'am, myself Naman from JVS Tech. We received your CV and I have called you for the interview.

Jaya's eyes light up with a mix of surprise and excitement at the prospect of an interview but furrows her brow, trying to recollect where she might have heard the company's name before.

Jaya: Sure, when can I come in for the interview?

Naman:  Ma'am, if it's possible, could you come today by 2 pm?

Jaya checks the clock and realizes she has ample time to prepare.

Jaya: Okay, no problem.

Naman: Great, I'll send you the address shortly.

The call ends, and Jaya rushes to her mother-in-law, Shailee  with an air of anticipation and a slight concern about leaving her responsibilities behind.

Jaya:  Maa, I have an interview to attend, so I won't be able to help with lunch today.

Shailee looks at Jaya warmly, a reassuring smile gracing her face.

Shailee: No problem, bacche. You go ahead and get ready. All the best for your interview.

Jaya beams with gratitude, nodding appreciatively before hurrying off to prepare for the important interview opportunity that awaits her.

Jaya stands outside the impressive building of JVS Tech, her eyes wide with amazement at its sheer size. She approaches the watchman stationed at the entrance, a mix of surprise and curiosity etched on her face.

Jaya: Bhaiya, yeh JVS Tech kaun se floor pe hai?

Watchman (smiling): Mam, yeh puri building hi JVS Tech hai. Aapko kis se milna hai?

Jaya is taken aback by the revelation that the entire building belongs to JVS Tech.

Jaya (astonished): Oh, main actually yaha interview ke liye aayi hoon.

Watchman (politely): Mam, aap andar jaaiye reception pe, vaha pooch lijiye ki interview kaha ho rahe hai.

Jaya nods and enters the building. At the reception, she approaches a Lady seated behind the desk, seeking guidance.

Jaya (politely): Excuse me?

Receptionist (smiling): How may I help you, ma'am?

Jaya (nervously): I am here for an interview. Can you tell me where I should go?

The receptionist smiles warmly, quickly making a call.

Receptionist (on the phone): One moment, ma'am.

Naman, the person who contacted Jaya, appears.

Naman:  Hello, ma'am. Myself Naman. Please come with me; Sir's cabin is on the 16th floor.

Jaya follows Naman's instructions, and they ascend to the 16th floor.

Naman (politely): Please wait here. Let me inform Sir that you're here for the interview.

Naman enters the cabin of Jaiveer Sinha, the CEO of JVS Tech, and relays the information.

Jaiveer: Let her come in.

Naman returns to Jaya and gestures for her to follow him into the cabin. As they enter, both Jaiveer and Jaya are taken aback, stunned to find themselves face to face in this unexpected encounter.

Jaya and Jaiveer equally surprised, looked at each other, a mix of disbelief and confusion swirling within them.

Jaiveer was stunned beyond words. For him, shock is an understatement as he beholds his estranged wife, Jaya, standing before him as the potential candidate for the hacker position. Jaya, equally astounded, realizes that JVS Tech is her husband's company, bringing forth a mix of emotions.

Naman, the intermediary, decides to break the heavy silence enveloping the room.

Naman: Sir, she is the one, Jaya Shukla.

He then turns to Jaya, introducing Jaiveer.

Naman: And ma'am, he is our boss, Jaiveer Sinha.

Jaiveer and Jaya share a tense gaze as Naman proposes the next steps.

Naman: Sir, shall I show her the system for the mock test? You can decide whether to hire her or not after that.

Jaiveer simply nods, his curiosity piqued. Naman escorts Jaya to the system room.

Inside the room, Naman briefs Jaya about the task.

Naman: This is your system. You have 20 minutes to break the firewall.

Jaya nods, focusing intensely on the task at hand. Jaiveer observes from outside, watching her work with an air of fascination. He's surprised at her speed and skill, witnessing her talent firsthand. Within the allocated time, Jaya successfully breaks through the firewall, stunning everyone present.

The room erupts into applause as Naman expresses his admiration for her prowess.

Naman (amazed): Wow, ma'am! I'm your big fan now.

Jaya modestly acknowledges his praise, her eyes subtly seeking Jaiveer's reaction, but his emotions remain inscrutable. He exits the room, leaving Naman to follow suit.

Naman catches up with Jaiveer.

Naman (excitedly): Sir, should I inform her to start from tomorrow?

Jaiveer, composed but intrigued, instructs Naman.

Jaiveer (firmly): Yes, tell her to join.

Naman hurries to relay the message to Jaya, who departs from the premises, feeling a mix of elation and uncertainty.

Meanwhile, inside his cabin, Jaiveer instructs Naman to retrieve Jaya's profile.

Jaiveer: Naman, get me the profile of Jaya Sinha.

Naman appears perplexed by the request.

Naman (confused): Sir, her name was Jaya Shukla, not Sinha.

Jaiveer looks at Naman with a pointed gaze, revealing a hidden truth.

Jaiveer (assertively): Before marriage, she was Jaya Shukla. Now, she's Jaya Jaiveer Sinha.

Naman is utterly taken aback by this revelation. Jaiveer, with a tone of finality, instructs him to keep this information confidential.

Jaiveer (firmly): This information should not reach anyone in the office. Understood?

Naman, visibly surprised and slightly overwhelmed, nods in agreement before hastily leaving the room to carry out Jaiveer's instructions.

After some time Naman brought the profile file of Jaya and handed over to Jaiveer, he takes the file and started to read and he was shocked to read that Jaya was actually the topper of her college and was an astounded student, she is brilliant, intelligent, smart and dedicated and he also looks at her work experience where he saw that she also had worked for the government related projects she is an ethical hacker who knows how to smash the firewall and the dummy hacker. Suddenly he felt proud of her and smiles at looking her CV and profile. 

Naman was shocked to see the smile playing on his strict boss he wondered how the sweet girl like Jaya married to this hitler and rude person, his thought process came to halt and Jaiveer says,

Jaiveer: Listen Naman, iss baare mein kisi ko pata nahi chalna chahiye and please make sure ki she gets everything that needed to do her job.

Naman just nods at him and leaves the cabin. Jaiveer started thinking about Jaya, he knows that he did not talked with her in 9 months of their marriage but he noticed many things about her, like how she waits for him late at night and when she hears the footsteps of him she goes to sleep, he knows that every night his dinner was warmed by her, despite his rude behaviour she cares about him, he regrets when he pushed her away he wanted to apologize to her but his big fat size ego stopped him, he also knows that she always tries to maintain the distance from him and she never touched him.

The room is bathed in the soft glow of the bedside lamp as Jaya, determined but nervous, sits on the edge of the bed, steeling herself to have a conversation with Jaiveer. She's anxious, unsure of how he'll react, but resolute in her intent.

Jaiveer enters from the study room, donned in a white kurta pyjama and glasses, a sight that momentarily distracts Jaya. She quickly gathers her thoughts and approaches him.

Jaya: Jaiveer, I need to talk to you.

For the first time, Jaiveer seems willing to listen. He nods silently, prompting her to continue.

Jaya:  Firstly, I didn't know it was your company when I applied. I didn't intentionally seek a position there. And secondly, I genuinely want to help you because there are issues in your company's systems.

Jaiveer looks at her, his silence making her nervous. He finally speaks, his voice deep and measured.

Jaiveer (calmly): Anything else?

Jaya, feeling a surge of emotions, hesitates before blurting out what she truly wants to say.

Yes, I... I love you.

She stops herself from revealing her true feelings, diverting the conversation back to the job opportunity.

Jaya (continuing): So, do you have any problem with me working in your company?

Jaiveer (nods): No

Relief washes over Jaya's face as she expresses her gratitude.

Jaya (sincerely): Thank you.

The room falls into an uneasy silence, punctuated by the weight of their unspoken emotions. They both settle into their respective sides of the bed, trying to find sleep amidst the tumultuous emotions swirling in the room.

Jaya turns to look at Jaiveer, his serene face reflecting in the dim light. A lone tear trickles down her cheek as she silently whispers her deepest feelings.

Jaya (in her thoughts): I wish I could tell you how much I love you. I hope one day you'll be mine, Veer...

With a heavy heart, she eventually succumbs to sleep, her gaze fixed on Jaiveer's face, praying for a future where their hearts might intertwine in harmony. Jaiveer remains asleep, unaware of the emotional storm that rages within Jaya's heart, leaving the room enveloped in a poignant silence.
