The blaring of alarm woke me up. I woke up and called Radha because I know she wouldn't wake up. She will throw the phone to the wall and sleep again. And then regret and shout at others after waking up. So I decided to wake her myself.
"WHO THE HECK IS THIS?" is the first thing she yelled after lifting the call. This was a nightmare I thought to myself. I scowled at her even though she can't see me. " This is your friend and I need your help. Please wake up" I asked in my pleasing tone. She sighed into the phone muttering something incoherent and I ended the call. After five minutes she entered the room. She glared at men as she came. I could already see the deep scowl forming and vision changed into me six feet under my feet. So instead of taking those type of risks I offered her coffee with an apologetic look on my face. Her face softened a little bit and called the hotel staff to send strong coffee and some breakfast. By the time I finished brushing my teeth and bath there is already a big tray of breakfast and coffee. The aroma of coffee gives me a little bit of comfort and wheeled my wheel chair and drank the strong coffee then ate a little breakfast. As soon as I finished I ushered Radha to go and get ready while I called advik and checked up on him. Thankfully he was playing with Arnold and Bella and haven't got any nightmares. I released a breath and until then I don't know I was holding my breath.
As soon as Radha was ready, we went to car I have ordered days before my plan was fixed. Unfortunately we haven't had the opportunity to get it yesterday. But at least today there was some luck on our side. It was a Audi new model which was very excellent and probably the first one to use here is me and maybe that's why the people are gawking at the car while I was driving. Those people doesn't know I was seeing them due to the tinted windows. I like to drive. It is a major stress reliever to me. Before my accident I used to drive a lot. People would think that I would be afraid to drive or get in the car after that dreadful accident. But instead I still liked cars and driving. But I maintain speed in safety and I follow all the traffic rules obediently. I do fear it sometimes when others are driving but I overcame it when the people driving are someone I knew. I wore a simple dark blue pants and white shirt with dark blue blazer. Pants are somewhat comfortable to me even though I can't feel anything. In half an hour we are in front of the construction site. I was helped by Radha into wheelchair and I took a few more minutes to fully observe to scheme a plan. It took about Half an hour to fully observe and think of difficulties and outcomes.
After I finished my observation here, I made it my office which was fortunately just a fifteen minutes ride from here. I immediately conducted a meeting and and schemed the plan perfectly so there will be no difficulties. My team was great and they have their own perspectives which I patiently listened and implemented some of them. Architecture is one of my favourite things and I can easily identify and rectify the problems much better. Or that's what I think. The meeting itself lasted for about four hours and by the time it is finished I was really physically exhausted by the time it is over.
It is already lunch time. Sometimes I wonder if time passes fastly in winter. The climate made me shiver. When it is winter I really want to be under sun and when it is summer I would think of winter and sit under AC. Sometimes I don't understand it myself. So I decided psychology is not my forte. And coming to read people's faces I would do it better. I shook away those thoughts searched for something to eat in. My stomach is making sounds like a dying walrus. It wasn't good. From the corner of eye I saw a traditional Italian restaurant and I made my way there. And the name shocked me.
The restaurants name was Isabella. My name is Adhira Isabella Cortello. How they came up with this name I don't know. Apparently Isabella is my dad's mother's name. This is a Cortello restaurant. Do they remember me?. I took a deep breath and entered the room as my lips curled into a small but hopeful smile. The restaurant is pretty much filled but still there are some table and we took one. It is filled with loud chatters. There were some judgemental looks on me too. Radha helped me into the restaurant chair because it was much more comfortable than my wheel chair it is pretty much height because if I would be able to stand my height would still be 5'7. She folded the wheel chair and took a seat opposite to me. I am very grateful of her and I couldn't express it. I quickly ordered a mushroom risotto for both me and Radha. Radha was busy talking in the phone with her mother and that is why I am still in peace.
As the order arrived I started eating. But there was a sudden silence in the place and I looked up to see what happened still munching on my food which was very delicious that I almost moaned out loud. There was a man. His back was to me but he was looking like he was searching for something or someone. He suddenly turned our side. The first thing I noticed was his eyes are very blue just like mine and his hair was deep brown like almost black colour. He looks so much like me. He narrowed his eyes at me and walking towards our table still glaring at me. He was looking so much like that I thoughts we were passed the same relative traits.
What the heck was happening here?...
