Kartik a 26-year-old is a Server Manager in a small IT company in Delhi, India. It was one of the normal days at the busy afternoon when he was out for a smoke break where he felt something off on his body, he thought for a second then shake his head thinking that of something to do in the evening he was excited for today where he was going to propose his girlfriend for the marriage. Thinking of this he walked into the office for the roof where he was shocked to notice that the whole office was a mess he asked around only to be informed that the servers were under attack he quickly ran towards his cabin only to see his boss and a young man not a day old than 23 looking at him with anger in their eyes he tried to explain but was not able to speak
"You bastard where were you when the whole company was trying to reach you" the young man scolded him and cursed at him .
He was angry at the young man cursing at him but was not able to refute back at him as he was CEO of the company , because of this bastard the company is facing losses for last quarter
After a round of being scolded he was alone in the office he was asked to do overtime today . But he wanted to go home early on the half day .
He thought about it for an hour and in the evening he walked into the General Manager office
"Sir can I come in " Kartik asked from the outside
"Come in" a reply came after few seconds
He walk into the cabin and take the seat in front of the general manager
"What is it this time " the general manager asked with an annoyed face and didn't look at him
"I want to quit " he said plainly and disgust filled eyes
"You have to take the responsibility of today's event and wait for a month to find your replacement that is the process. " Manager replied as he look directly into his eyes for confirmation
"I know I will do the same " he said
"Good you know , if you haven't come today there would be a letter of you being fired tomorrow at your table" manager said with a laugh
He was angered by this bullshit company , he had heard for the employee that this manager was trying to promote one of his cousin to post of Server Manager so that he can have more control over the company he had already tried many things like spreading rumours interfering with his plans and not allowing his bounce for completion of the project .
With that he stood up walk out of the office and then he remembered his plan for the evening. He took out his phone send a text
[Babe sorry for the rain check this time, lets meet tomorrow. I have to work overtime today ]
After sending the message there was a reply with only one letter
[k]
He was dumbfounded on how carefree his girlfriend take the message but afterwards he thought she must be busy
It was late in the night around 11 when he walked out of the building to his car and drove towards his home midway through his house he thought of giving his girlfriend a little surprise and changed the destination to his girlfriend house when arriving at the house he took the lift to the floor and walked towards the apartment . Standing in front of the house he saw the gate was open and as he walked and arrived at the bedroom, he saw a man and a woman in each other arms sleeping sweetly he was angered at the sight and took the lamp for the side table only to be knocked down by a bottle of wine by someone and crashing onto the table side hitting his head and losing his conciseness in all darkness he felt around he could only fell regret, anger, frustration, weakness, and hatred.
