Ruihan and shiha have walked quite deep inside the forest..
"ahh.. Hey..lets have a little bit rest.. I am tried. I can't walk now." said shiha. She bend on her knees.
Ruihan saw her. She was totally exhausted. "ok.. Lets find a place to sit."
They sat down under a tree.
Shiha bend her knees and tight her arms around it. It was getting cold.
"here, wear your cardigan.. It is getting cold." said Ruihan.
Shiha took it and wore it, but it was not easy.. To wear it, she must raise her hand, which was painful with any movements.
But still she wore it with help of Ruihan.
Ruihan saw her face. It was getting pale. But she look strong..
Shiha was looking around.. When, suddenly a caterpillar fall on her elbow. She look at it. And without hesitation she just brush her hand on her elbow and the caterpillar was thrown far away..
Ruihan saw this. When the caterpillar fell, he thought she might scream and jump on her feet. As usually all the girls do. But he was surprised by her calm behaviour.
"weren't you afraid?" asked Ruihan.
"what's there to be afraid of. Infact this creatures are afraid of human beings."saying this shiha gave a glance to Ruihan.. When she saw his face she giggled.."you thought, that i would scream like those girls.. Hnn.. I am not like them. I am not afraid of anything. I am very courageous person." said shiha proudly.
Ruihan looked at her and said.. "seriously, you are not afraid of anything? Think properly, there must be something you are afraid of.. Like cockroach, rat, snake.. Something like that. Haann.. Crocodile"
Shiha laughed at it.. And said.. "hnn.. No i am not afraid of cockroach, rat, snake, caterpillar like that. Neither crocodile. Before i was saying those nonsense was just like that. In fact i know how to run from crocodile. You just have to run in a zigzag way. Not straight. So you can keep the crocodile behind.. "
Ruihan was laughing at her.. The way she speaks.
"hnn.. So what you are afraid of." he asked again.
Ruihan gave a interesting look.. Like waiting for her answer..
Shiha chuckle and said.. "don't look at me like that.. I am not gonna say, what i am afraid of. What if you use it against me sometimes.."
Ruihan gave a innocent look and said..
"do i look like that."
"hnn..no, you look quite gentleman like. So i trust you.. Hmm.. Let me tell you what i am afraid of.." saying this shiha slightly tilt her head towards his ear and said.. "Lizard.."
Ruihan laughed out loud.. Shiha pouted at his behaviour.
"you are not afraid of snake, crocodile.. But you are afraid of Lizard. They are all reptiles.. And you are afraid of only Lizard. Interesting.."he controlled his laughter.
Shiha gave a angry look and said..
"there is reason.. Okay.. "
"ohh.. Really, what's the reason."
Shiha sit straight and gaze at him and said.. "look, when you see cockroach, rat, snake, caterpillar... Then, you can easily kill them. But it's hard to kill a lizard. Moreover.. If you are kept in a room with rat or cockroach then you can kill them easily.. As they will only run on the floor.. But lizard is different.. It can move on the floor, on the walls and also on ceiling. If you try to kill it on the floor then they will move to walls and if you try to kill them on walls they they will move to ceiling and if you try to kill them on ceiling.. Then it might attack you and can jump or fall on you.. Isn't it scary.. "
Ruihan burst loudly.. He can't controlled his laughter.." what a logic."
Shiha rolled her eyes. And with a warning she threatened him.." Don't ever frighten me with this and yes, Don't you dare to tell anyone about this."
Ruihan looked at her. Some how she gave the similar feelings.
"hnn.. You are too noisy and talking.."
Shiha chuckle and said.. "haa.. You are the first person.. Ann.. No. Not first, second person to say this. Otherwise everyone says that i am very quiet person. My friends too say this. I rarely talk too much with my friends too. But you said i am too talkative.. Hmm may be i talk too much in front of the person i like."
"ohh..means you like me hnn.. "said Ruihan. There was a smirk on his face.
"hnn.. When did I said this..stop your imagination ok." shiha looked away from his face. She face in other direction. But some how.. The past memories surface in her mind.
When a little boy kept his hand on her mouth and said.. "Cupcake, you are too noisy and talkative."
The little girl gave a heart touching smile and said.. "yes.. I talk too much.. But only with you.."
Ruihan looked at her and said.. "so it's like that, you rarely speak.. Then you are not considered in a talkative person.."
Shiha took a deep breath.. And came back to present.
she looked at Ruihan and said.. "Then?"
"usually, girls talk too much in two situations.. One! Because they are talkative, or love to talk too much and second! When she wants to hide her pain. Either physically or mentally. And i think you belongs to second situation."
Shiha smiles at his logic.. But somewhat, she agrees to it.
"hmm.. You are right. Indeed, i am in a great pain now."said shiha.
Then She look over the sky..
It was dark... There was only the light of moon. The Moon was surrounded by the stars which were twinkling..
"ohh.. Its a full moon.." said shiha.
Ruihan too looked at the sky. The moon was indeed full.
Whole place was covered with a darkness.. But still moon gives the enough light. The wind was blowing.. And the leaves makes Rustling voice.
Shiha rub her arms.. When her hand brush past the wound.. "ahh.. Seriously, how can i get hurt at this time."
Ruihan turn her face and looked at her.. "why! You have to go anywhere."
"ahhnnn.. No, but i have to start my work.. I was going to start within two to three days.. But, now i got injured."
"No problem, you can take a leave." said Ruihan.
"i can't.. I already have so much pending work. I was on a vacation from last so many days."
"ohh.. So you can't get the leave now. You can explain your situation.. Your higher ups will surely grant the leave."
Shiha gave him a blank look.. She raised her brow.. 'hnn.. Higher-ups. Ohh.. Man, i am at the top. To whom i go to take a leave.. I don't need anyone's permission.' said shiha in her mind..
she looked at him and said
" ohh.. I don't think, now i can get any leave. I already have so much pending work.. If i ignore it.. Then it may creat a problem.. And my company will face the loss. And it may threat to my position too."
Ruihan looked at her sad face. Her face look like.. As if an employee is afraid of losing his position and job.
So he said.."it's ok.. If you can't get the leave, You can leave that job. Because health comes first. You can find better job in the future. Infact i can provide you the more better job to you than the present one."
Shiha giggle.. But controlled herself.. "you mean, you can give me a better job and position.." asked shiha.
"hmm.. I can.. If you want."said Ruihan.
Little did he know.. What position she has in her company..
Shiha made a serious face and said..
" Do you know what positions i am at, in my company."
"ahh..no, but i am sure, i can give you the better position in my company. After all you have saved my life. So, that much i can do for you."
Shiha raised her brow and said..
"ahhh.. You are talking like.. You own a company.."
"yeah.. So what if i own a company.. Do you know who i am.. I can give you any position you want in my company or in other companies too if you want..After all i owe you a life.." said Ruihan slightly annoyed from her behaviour.
Shiha laughed and said.. "ha..haa.. You are saying like.. You are the King of the business world."
Ruihan looked at her and said.. "yes.. I am the King of the business world.."
Shiha too looked at him in his eyes and thought that he said it because, he is annoyed.. So she said..
"ohh.. You are the King of the business world.. Then.." shiha extend her hand for the hand shake continued..
"helloooo... I am the Queen of the business world.."
Ruihan gave a annoying look towards her. He brush her hand away. He thought she said this because.. He is King.. So she paired it with a Queen.
Shiha looked at his annoyed face and laughed out... 'ahh.. Seriously.. He didn't believe me..'
The same thought was in Ruihan's mind.. 'ahh.. Seriously, she didn't believe me.'
Unknowingly.. They both reveal their true identity.. But..neither shiha nor Ruihan took it seriously..
