Siya's pov

I received a message from Raghav asking about my plans tonight. I told him that I had to work late night. He told me that he had some important work related to me . I was worried if he turned back on his words or what . I turned him down yet... But he texted me to not worry since it wasn't a date. So I agreed to accompany him.
In the car , I asked him, " Raghav , can you tell me what this is about? "

" I don't think you will ever ask for my help. I just want to be helpful."

" Listen, Raghav..."

" Don't worry there's no price for it."

" It's just uncomfortable when you act this way "

" Why ?? Do you want to pay me for it ? How about accepting it? Just a free favour . I don't want to be repaid for what I do willingly"

" But .."

" Even then if that's uncomfortable, take this as an order from your boss. We reached our destination ." he stopped in front of a building.

Third person's pov

Raghav and Siya entered the building .Siya noticed two guys in martial arts uniform practicing karate. They noticed Raghav and Siya and came towards them.
" You are still so beautiful." One of them said to Siya . " Excuse me . But have we met before?" Siya asked since she did not recognise him. He looked towards Raghav to handle the matter.

" Actually he's like this with any pretty woman. I am Rohit and he is John " the other guy handled the matter .
(I have mentioned Rohit and John in chapter 8: Siya's savior. )
John was the one who saved Siya from Samrat on Raghav's request by acting as a delivery man when he wanted to spend a night with Siya . At that time Siya didn't have a makeover . It was before the reunion. Now she looked different so John complimented her .

"Okay .. Hello, I'm Siya."

" Rohit and John are my friends. We were in the same college. " Raghav introduced them.
" By the way , are you interested in judo? I was a national level player in judo." John said proudly .

Raghav gave Siya a martial arts uniform and said ," Go change into it."
" What's going on ?"

" Remember you wanted to learn self defence. This is for that ."

Siya changed and Raghav showed his moves and flipped Rohit as an example to Siya and explained," just as you saw , flip your opponent in one go . Judo is all about physics. Think of it as a lever . Just grab and flip. Understand? Now try it on John."

"Okay . I'll try ."

She grabbed John's collar with one hand and his hand with the other and tried to flip him . Raghav instructed her , " Yes . Grab it and try to flip."
" Flip " but she wasn't able to.
" Try again "
" Try again "
" Flip"
" Scream with all your strength and think of him as your enemy." Siya saw Samrat's face and using all her strength she grabbed and flipped John on the ground.

"You did it. You did it." John praised Siya . "Yes . I flipped you " Siya jumped with happiness .

" That's just the basics. Let's cover the practical part now. " Raghav said

" Practical part ? " He began to teach her acting as her opponent.

" The first step is to get on the mat and face the opponent. Now grab me " Siya tried to grab his hand but he took it back ." It's not easy to grab the opponent. However, maybe sometimes they yield because they know you can't flip them ."And forwarded his hand. Siya grabbed his hand and tried to flip him with all her strength but wasn't able to ."Once you get on the mat , focus only on one thing ' I will flip '." "I will flip " Siya tried again but wasn't able to do so . Her leg slipped and she was about to fall but Raghav grabbed her arm . " If you are not strong enough, use your opponent's strength. "

"Okay "

He further said, " It's okay if you are not able to fight directly. Ask for help . Ask someone who can fight for you. Someone like me." He said staring into her eyes meaning something deep with his words. Siya was provoked. She grabbed his collar but was not able to flip him . So she grabbed his waist and pushed him . She entangled their legs and made him fall far away from the mat with her on the top of him. She stared into his eyes with a smile and happiness and said , " I did it . I did it ." While Raghav was drowned in her brown orbs . Then she laid on the floor beside him .

" You doubted me , didn't you ? You had your guard down a little, right?" She asked him . He stared into her eyes and patted her head and said ," Good job " . Seeing Raghav laying beside her, Siya remembered some blur flashes of someone in her mind .

This fight was witnessed by John and Rohit who were shocked. John said ," Didn't he tell me to not go easy on her ? Didn't he flip too easily now?"
" Yes . He got flipped too easily. He even jumped too high . It was not easy for her to defeat him. But he did it intentionally." Rohit said.

Yes , Raghav got flipped by Siya easily because he let her do it and the jump and the fall was intentional . He wanted her to gain confidence so he did it . He was ready to lose everything for her .

Next day

Siya went to the office and saw Ashish. She remembered Raghav's words ,'The first step is to get on the mat and face the opponent.'

She gave him the new proposal and said, " Sir , I reflected on the points you mentioned and made a new proposal . Also about yesterday, I apologise."

Ashish gave her his proposal on which his , Alia's and Meera's name were mentioned as the proposers and said ," This is my proposal ." Siya was shocked. " Why are you shocked? Is it because your name is missing ? Isn't it right ? This was originally mine . Now it will be forwarded to the director and there is no space for your name."

" Sir , can you give me another chance?"

He handed her both proposals and said ," Integrate these and present it . Then I will decide if you will be on the team or not ."
..

Later , Siya informed Riya about Ashish's plan and her proposal, " Ria , I am sorry. You helped me a lot but the situation is bad . So I couldn't add your name on the team" Siya told her about Ashish and the proposal.

" So , Alia's name will be there on the proposal. He's even threatening you to take out your name from it. Anyways , Nevermind. Thanks for thinking about it ."Ria said with her ever ready smile.

"Have it " Siya offered her the cheese cake . Riya took a bite of it and moaned in delight ." How's it ?" " It's as if... I can't describe it ... By the way where did you buy it from ?" She checked the box label and read "Trisend Restaurant " ." My friend works there " Siya said . Just then she received a call from Aditya. " Shall I receive the call . It's him. " Ria nodded .Siya put the call on the speaker.

" Did you receive the cake, Siya? " Aditya asked . " Yes, I am eating it with a coworker."
" Who's this person that sent such a great cheese cake ? It's love itself. " Ria said taking another bite .

" What ??" Aditya said .

" Aditya, it means it's really good. " Siya explained.

"Thank you so much Mr. for such awesome cake . These are the best I have ever tasted " Ria screamed with delight.

" I am glad you both liked it. I made it myself ."

" You ?? You bake too?" Siya asked.

" Yes , I make deserts for special people myself. Enjoy it "

" Thanks "she said and cut the call.

Ria said, " My saviour , are you dating him ?"

" No. What are you saying? I have a boyfriend."

" Ohh ... Yes that's right." Ria said .

" Then I am sure that this person likes you . It's not easy to send cake like this if he doesn't."

"I... "

"Leave it . Will the proposal proceed according to Ashish now?"

" Actually he never planned to do as he said . The proposal he gave me had only few words different from mine ."

" Unbelievable!! So he was just trying to get you off it ?" Siya nodded .

" That's worst . How can you work with a terrible person like him?"

" You know judo is about push and pull . He underestimated me. So he yielded his sleeve to me . He didn't think that I could flip him" Siya said remembering yesterday's judo practice with Raghav.

" Judo ?? All of a sudden? " Ria was confused . She imagined Ashish in a judo uniform and shook her head . " I don't want to imagine him in that uniform "

Siya laughed, " Judo feels like an interesting sport . You feel good when you shout too."

" Shouting... Even I like shouting..." And she screamed . The whole cafeteria looked at them ." Sorry about that . Please continue." Ria was embarrassed and said , "Let's leave now."

Meanwhile Alia manipulated Meera with her sweet words showing her care for Siya .

I have grabbed Ashish's sleeve. Now how do I flip it?

What do you think about Siya's judo training. Now she will use it to teach Ashish a lesson . What will she do now ?
