An Upgraded Soul

Two elegant and beautiful women who looked like a pair of fully bloomed roses stood in a parking lot of the IT (Information Technology) park as if they were waiting for someone. More than once, some 'gentleman' had come to inquire whether they needed any assistance to which the taller of the two women politely refused while the shorter one pouted her lips as she was getting annoyed. It was lucky that the time was already post rush hour, otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to stand in this place with all the crowd.

The taller woman had a well-developed body which could be a source of envy to even other women, her skin complexion was light olive with a m.a.t.u.r.e aura around her which instinctively made people around her comfortable. She wore a Van Heusen's formal grey shift dress which had a sleek look with panel detailing along with a pair of platinum coloured hoop earrings made her look even more classy and graceful. She had tied up her dark hair into a perfect low bun.

The shorter of the two had a small face with big eyes, which naturally nurtured feelings of 'protectiveness' in the opposite s.e.x, had shoulder length c.h.e.s.tnut colour hair styled into layers. She wore a plain, simple fit and flare maroon coloured midi dress. A thin, golden necklace was fully visible along with a dolphin pendant because of the V-neckline. She wore a pair of antique design floral earrings with maroon beads which matched perfectly with her dress. This woman who looked restless and impatient was Charita while the other woman who was taller and seemed m.a.t.u.r.e was Jagvi.

Charita who had pouted lips was becoming impatient to see Ishaan, also she was getting annoyed with all the attention they were getting as they stood in the parking lot while Jagvi was quite peaceful as she politely nodded to anyone who looked at them.

"Jagvi, when do you think our irresponsible boss would come, it is already eleven and the people from the client company must have already come. It would be bad if they get a bad impression. Also, why does our boss never answers his phone when we want him to," Charita looked worried as she looked at the time in her mobile. Her nails were polished with a striped fall nail design

Jagvi smiled as she asked, "Do you think that our boss needs to be worried about losing this client or the client needs to be worried about losing our product?"

Charita's eyes lit up when she heard this question, she had already studied the 'Application' made by Ishaan and it was quite revolutionary in the field of 'Mobile Malware protection'. She was sure that any company would take this product with eyes closed as it was very effective. She had been thinking in the lines of a normal startup company which had to cater to the whims and fancies of their client companies but forgot the skills that her boss possessed. Her brows also relaxed as she also smiled at Jagvi.

"The last good spot for parking is also been taken," Charita said as she looked at a car which was coming inside. If this spot was also taken, Ishaan had to park his car deep into the parking lot which would consume even more time.

"Not necessarily," Jagvi smiled as her eyes lit up.

"What are you saying? Look all the spots are taken except this one and this one is also..." Charita also stopped when she saw a blue Audi A7 dash into the parking lot. Jagvi's dress was a correct fit but Charita's dress was flared at the bottom and if she did not hold her dress in place, Charita would have experienced an embarrassing situation today. She pouted her red lips with mild anger as her cheeks with milk-white complexion blushed fiercely but her eyes were filled with awe as she saw the blue car skid on the dusty floor as it accurately drifted into the only parking place and stopped.

Aditya jumped out of the car as he hurriedly put on his black formal blazer and walked towards the disgruntled owner of the other car as he apologized for this hijack. He was already late because the bus which was supposed to bring him back to the city from that village was delayed. He did not want to disappoint Kapil sir as it was the first time that he asked him to be present during the contract signing. Otherwise, Aditya did not want to be here as he had to meet Kumari today. He had to transform back to his original form.

The other person relaxed a little when he saw the luxury car, as well as Aditya's sincerity and so, gave up pursuing the matter. Aditya smiled politely as he rushed to the elevator while grooming his hair roughly with his hands where he spotted these two women. What surprised him was that these two women dressed very differently than usual. One had to know that these two were technical personnel who enjoyed quite a bit of freedom in the matter of dressing. So, they did not have any dress codes like secretaries or other people who dealt with clients as it was their work which was considered.

Aditya knew that these women liked to dress casually every day and so was a little taken aback with this change. He also did not know what these women were doing here at this hour instead of working.

Jagvi looked at the puzzled expression and explained, "Sister Fenny said that the meeting today was important and it would not be good if she had to accompany Boss as it would be awkward with her baby bump. So she requested us to act the role of your secretaries today." Jagvi sneaked a glance at the nervous Charita as she explained.

Aditya observed this and nodded. He knew it must have only been Jagvi who was requested but Charita decided to tag along. He also felt that even Jagvi was unnecessary as he could manage everything by himself even without sister Fenny. But Aditya did not object as he nodded and walked into the elevator followed by the others.

"Boss, I brought this tie for you," Jagvi took out a dark blue patterned tie and looked at Aditya with hopeful eyes. Aditya looked at her for a while and nodded as he stretched his hand to take the tie. Jagvi did not give the tie as she said, "Boss, let me." Then, even without Aditya's assent she held the tie and wrapped it around the collar of his white cotton shirt and started tying a Windsor knot with a beautiful smile on her face.

"Boss, I also bought a watch for you," Charita could not stop herself any longer as she took out a Jorg Gray black coloured Analog watch and pulled Aditya's left hand and started putting it on quickly as if she was afraid that Aditya would pull back his hand.

Aditya sighed as he once again proved that he was too weak to reject the advances of beautiful women. With his abilities how could he not realize their thoughts? Aditya wholeheartedly accepted that he was a womanizer in the making and he would most probably end up having relations with many women in the future. His loose life in the 'dream world' was proof enough and he knew that it would most probably repeat here also. If it was not that the present circ.u.mstances were different, Hamsa would have already become his woman in a true sense.

But what baffled him was that these two women did not seem to fight for him as if they were completely okay with the other pursuing the same man. Weren't they supposed to compete with each other? What was going on in their minds? Also, he knew that this was not his true form and he did not want to have his 'Avatar' committing to relationsh.i.p.s as that would make things very complicated when his true identity would be revealed in the future.

By face value, Ishaan and Aditya were on the same level but the same could not be said about his physique which was as different as sky and earth. So, in the future, if these two women found out that the person they had loved was not the real one but just a disguise, Aditya could not fathom what kind of an impact it would have on these two immaculate hearts.

Aditya decided that he had to remove these feelings when they were still in their budding stage so as to prevent future complications. While Aditya was mulling about this, Jagvi had finished tying the knot. Aditya inhaled the feminine aroma of Jagvi as it intoxicated him along with her l.u.s.trous figure while Charita's body scent reminded Aditya of cherry blossoms. His breathing became rapid especially when he saw Jagvi buttoning up his blazer like a virtuous wife.

Jagvi took out a comb and started grooming his hair into an elegant hairstyle as she stood on her toes. Aditya looked at Jagvi's mesmerising face which was now very close to him as he could feel her hot breath and vice versa. Jagvi stopped grooming as she gazed into Aditya's eyes dazedly while her lips slightly moved. Charita who had her eyes on Aditya snorted as she pinched his hand near the wrist as she said, "Boss, how do you like my gift?"

Aditya's heart skipped when he saw a disappointed look flash across Jagvi's face as she moved away from him and smiled at Charita who turned her head away in anger. It was only now that Aditya realized that Jagvi though on the outside was similar to Hamsa but she seemed to be someone very different in the inside. Aditya was sure that if he had kissed her now, she would have responded equally enthusiastically. Aditya scolded himself as he coughed and looked up to find Gagan looking at the three of them with a weird gaze. At some unknown point of time, they had reached their floor but because of the tension between them, no one noticed Gagan who was waiting for them at the elevator.

'I have to warn Fenny to stay away from this fellow,' was the first thought that passed through Gagan's mind as he looked at all the three of them.

"Hey, Gaggu, is everything ready? Is the other party already here?" Aditya coughed a little and asked Gagan in a vain attempt to steer his attention.

"Not yet, but they will be here in any minute. Boss, you could go to the conference room as Mr Kapil is waiting for you there." Gagan said as he ignored the angry look on Charita. She had spent her whole month's salary from the previous company to get this watch and Gagan had disrupted the moment when she was hoping to hear Aditya's appreciation.

Aditya slipped away using this opportunity. He had been notified by Tya that his libido, which is normally influenced by a human's physiology and psychology, also enhanced along with the other attributes of his body because of Tya's 'Cellular Regulation' ability but he did not think that he would be aroused just by Jagvi's close proximity. He rushed towards the conference room followed by Gagan.

"Jagvi, my salary has been wasted by that idiot Gagan. I don't see him appearing on time when the office timings are over to tell us to stop our work, what a waste, Jagvi… Jagvi," Charita noticed that Jagvi seemed a little off as he saw her holding her heaving c.h.e.s.t and leaning on the elevator wall while her eyes were closed. Sweat could be seen forming on her forehead at a visible pace as she bit her lips forcefully to control her surging emotions. She never felt this weak-willed than she was, right now.

Jagvi was interested in Aditya from the first day she laid her eyes on him. But it was only interest and not anything deeper. She had her fair share of attempts at finding her true love and so her heart was pretty stable. She had confidence in her that she would not be easily influenced by mere good looks, unlike Charita who was clearly not experienced in matters dealing with love.

Charita was clearly 'smitten' with Ishaan. This could be seen from her gifting Ishaan a giant sculpture of pure sandalwood or the expensive watch she had gifted today without thinking twice. Jagvi's gifts, on the other hand, were not as expensive but were equally noticeable like the pack of Seascape strawberries or the 'tie' that she gifted today which even allowed her to come closer to Ishaan physically in a subtle romantic way. Charita could only stay at a distance due to the absence of a good excuse like Jagvi's.

Jagvi figured that she would tease her boss a little today so that he would view her differently from others but what happened afterwards was still a mystery to her. At some point, when Jagvi felt that she had successfully 'disturbed' her boss, she inhaled a masculine scent emanating from Ishaan which almost made her lose her mind. All her schemes vanished from her mind as pictures of Ishaan kissing her roughly and doing things which she considered as 'very shameful' started appearing in her mind in the form of fantasies. She wanted nothing else but to tear Ishaan's clothes and do the deed in the elevator even if Charita was present.

This was what shocked Jagvi the most, even if she viewed herself as broad-minded, she had never truly slept with a man before. Charita could attest to this as Jagvi had very high expectations for a man who could take her. Though Ishaan was perfect in every sense, Jagvi still never thought that he was the one for her. He was only a 'potential' candidate, but all her judging or restraints melted when she was near her boss today.

Jagvi's breathing became normal after some time as she gave some pretext to Charita and walked towards the conference room in a brisk pace as she was supposed to be the secretary today. Jagvi warned herself before trying to provoke Ishaan again as she feared that she might not be as lucky as today where Charita and Gagan disrupted the moment. She might not come out of this tryst as the same Jagvi again.

What Aditya did not know was that, along with his drive for s.e.x, the amount of androstenol(a chemical related to the testosterone produced in a man)and other stimulating chemical agents released from his body was far above a normal male. So, in the case that Aditya was physically attracted to a female, his body would automatically release an abnormal amount of these chemicals through his breath and skin which is too much to bear for normal, healthy and fertile females who were in their prime. Though it was Jagvi who came close to him with other intentions, her loss of restraint was due to stimulation of chemicals from his own body.
