At evening, She woke up by hunger. She opened her eyes and looked the surroundings. She recalled that she was in her room and here she had to arrange everything herself. In the past week, She really depended on him. She sighed deeply. But it was just a sweet dream for her. She hoped she forgot that sweet dream soon and again adopted her usual life. But she didn't know she couldn't forget even if she wanted.
She streched her body and got up with determination. Even, her body had ached because of him but she was not sad while in good mood.
She cooked noodles because there was a lot of chores which she had done after eating.
After eating, she got busy into chores.
At last, She tried to remember if she forgot something.... she mentally noted... cleaning done.... washing clothes done.... ironing clothes for one week done.... washing dishes done....
She looked at fridge and kitchen cabinets for groceries. She made list what is necessary and put the list in her bag.
She took deep relax breath. She ordered dinner outside and watched TV. She slammed on couch lazily because she tired a lot but she was satisfied that she finished chores.
The following day,
She reported her boss in his office at right time. Her boss Mr Kashyap looked her abd smiled, "So finally, you came."
She smiled and nodded. He gestured her to sit infront of his table and she sat obediently.
He asked, "So how was your holiday?"
After hearing it, She recalled about him and blushed. immediately, She hid her blush and said calmly, "It's fine, sir."
Mr Kashyap didn't ask much but took a file from his table and put infront of her, "This is your work. Complete it as soon as possible because we have to present in front of higher up soon.
Reena, don't take pressure but remember that we have already one week late. That's why do your best."
She nodded with understanding. It seemed that her boss gave her leave when the department needed her.
It's not that there was a shortage of employees into her department but there was only few who are sincere.
Because of their sincerity, her boss never neglected their welfare that's why she was determined to do her work with sincerity. She knew there was noone in her department who can do her work. it's not that she was arrogant but she knew her importance in department.
She took the file and came out from her boss cabin. She came to her desk and occupied into her work.
After one week, she presented the complete file infront of Mr Kashyap, "Sir, it's complete."
Mr Kashyap looked her dark circles around her eyes which meant she didn't sleep well because of work and felt pity.
After checking the file, He gave compliment, "It's great. I knew only you can do it in short period."
She smiled and thanked him. He suggested, "Reena, I am thinking. why don't you give presentation in monthly meeting behalf of our department?"
She was stunned. After collecting her courage, she asked, "Sir, did I do some mistake?"
Mr Kashyap took deep breath, "Reena, it's not what you are thinking. You know it's great opportunity. You can be promoted if higher authorities would satisfy with your work. and I have trust you can do it."
She knew what her boss was suggesting. She shook her head and said, "Sir, I am satisfied where I am just now."
Mr Kashyap didn't know why she didn't want to attend meetings whenever he suggested but he knew he couldn't give her pressure.
he nodded with agreement "Ok,but I will remember to mention your name."
She smiled and knew he wanted to her welfare that's why she thanked him.
In evening, Reena was in her apartment.
She sat in front of laptop and was thinking. It's already one week but she couldn't forgot. Whenever she tried to close her eyes, she recalled about that time. She thought it's easy to forget but now, it's hard for her.
She tried to calm down herself because she couldn't do anything just now. Unconsciously, she logged in the mail id which through she contacted to that club. And she got a mail before four days from that club. She opened the mail id and read the content.
It's about payment. When she saw the amount, she was shocked. As expected, Jitish was really rich that's why club paid her a lot. It was the amount more than her six months salary. But she couldn't use it. She didn't join the club for money. She didn't know what to do about money.
After thinking something, She wrote something and replied the mail. After sending mail, She felt relieved. She logged out the mail id and opened the reading app.
After reading, she was in good mood. She knew if she is determined, she will forget everything soon.
In the bar,
Jitish was sitting on his usual seat with gloomy face. It's almost one month but she didn't contact him. Even, her mobile number is switched off and she didn't reply him via mail. He endured whole one month that she would be busy and contact him soon. But there was nothing from other side. He felt uneasy.
Dhiraj looked at his friend and knew something was wrong. He asked carefully, "Hey, what happened?"
Jitish didn't give him reply but asked coldly, "Give me her whole information."
Initially, Dhiraj couldn't understand to whom Jitish was talking. He looked his friend with confusion but he recalled his secretary words, "Sir, Mr Jitish called many times and reminded If Miss Rita contact us, we will only contact to him, not anyone else."
Dhiraj didn't take seriously but asked causally, "Did that girl contact?"
His secretary denied but showed his iPad, "No sir, but she send us this mail."
When Dhiraj read the mail, he understood that his guess was right.
Dhiraj looked at Jitish and asked without expression, "To whom you are talking, Jitish? There are many girls with whom...."
Jitish glared him with red eyes and said with gritted teeth, "I am talking about last time with whom you hooked to me. Now, I want her." He didn't hide his intention from Dhiraj because he knew Dhiraj will get to know. It's better to be soon.
Dhiraj was speechless. He never thought that Jitish accepted directly. He calmed down himself and suggest, "Why don't I introduce you better girl than her? And didn't you say that she was not your type? ohh... I remember just now about Jess. You were satisfied with her service last time. She is available now. If you want, I can...."
Jitish didn't let him finish and said with glaring, "Dhiraj, cut the crap. I want her. it means I want her. You know very well I get anyhow what I want. She is mine now... only mine. If your staff and you tried to hook her with someone else, I will not leave anyone."
Dhiraj never looked him like it but he was not scared. He knew Jitish has short temper but he will not let it happen, "Jitish, you are forgetting she is not thing. She is human being. It's her life. She has right to live her life her own. And for kind of your information, she didn't contact us after."
When Jitish heard that she didn't contact to club, he was relieved but worried same time.
Looking at Jitish changing expression, Dhiraj was relax but he asked with raising his eyebrows, "Why her?"
Jitish looked at his friend's eyes and tugged his fingers into his hairs, "I also don't know why her. But she is different. When she left, she was fine. I think nothing was wrong between us. I told her to contact me but she didn't. I am worried if she is in dangerous or not. I am confused why didn't she reply my mail."
After thinking something, Dhiraj said, "Jitish, you are thinking to much. She is fine wherever she is. She didn't contact us or you, it means she doesn't want to keep contact with us. Why don't you let her go? She is not only girl with whom you slept. That's why forget about her."
Jitish didn't reply immediately but said after few moments, "I can't. Give me her information whatever you have. I will find her myself."
Dhiraj told firmly, "I don't have her any information. You know my club doesn't find information innocent girls."
Jitish looked at him and asked, "What about her account number?"
Dhiraj told helplessly, "We don't have."
Jitish glared him, "I transferred huge amount. it's not that she took that amount in cash."
Dhiraj explained him everything, "Actually, we send her mail but she replied that she wanted to donate the money who needs. She didn't calim a tiny penny."
Jitish couldn't believe what he heard, "What?"
Dhiraj nodded, "Jitish, I already told you her condition before. I suggested you that time because I thought you are not serious for any girl. Now what happened?" He couldn't understand how Jitish can be serious about that girl while Jitish never be serious for any girl.
Jitish didn't reply because he didn't know what should he do in that suitation. First time, he was serious for a girl and she left him without any explanation. Even, he didn't know how to find her.
When Dhiraj didn't listen any reply from Jitish, he suggested, "Why don't I recommend you other girl? I hope...."
Jitish rejected without hearing anymore, "No need. I will find her soon. and I am cancelling my membership with your club. but Remember, in future if she contact your, inform me." the Last sentence was warning.
Dhiraj couldn't believe what he heard. After calming down himself, he smirked and asked, "When you are not member of club anymore , why do I obliged to tell you?"
Jitish didn't get angry but said with evil smile, "At least, you can do it for your friend."
Dhiraj glared Jitish because he didn't expect Jitish will use their friendship and asked with gritted teeth, "What if she doesn't want to be with you? If it is true, Jitish, I warn you that you can't touch her."
Jitish didn't take his warning seriously but told him sincerely, "Dhiraj, I like her. I want to be with her but it doesn't mean I want to hurt her. I know she also feels towards me what I feel towards her. I don't know why she is running away from me. I want to know reason and settle everything between us."
Dhiraj didn't ask anything because he knew his friend is serious for that girl. Did he make mistake to let them meet? If he did, then he did sin. He saw determination into his friend's eyes for that girl. He didn't know if he should pray that that girl will meet his friend in future or not.
