10 YEARS LATE
HANK'S PERSPECTIVE
"breath in...breath out.... calm down idiot. you can do this!" saying this to myself I inhaled deeply as my heartbeat went to my highest level. I am sitting on one of the chairs in the reception area waiting for one of my friend john who works in this law firm to show me around as I got my dream job which is being an information technology manager at a law firm.
after sometimes when he arrived we did the bro hug and then he said in an excited manner, " ready for your job?" I just nodded and he started showing me around. strangely john showed me the 1st floor, 3rd floor and so on. he skipped the 2nd floor and said he will do it later.
after showing me around the whole building he got exhausted and said, "can we do the 2nd floor any other day" I shook my head and said," no, we are doing it today, or maybe now itself.." I dragged him towards the 2nd floor but he yanked my hand and said, " bro, you just go by yourself if you want to face that rude bitch" after saying he started running away. I sighed and said, "let's see who is that rude bitch"
climbing through the 2nd floor I felt something like I am going to get something precious.
walking through the hallway the feeling the solitude, some kind of dark aura I sighed as there was nothing but 3 cabins maybe for someone
suddenly a woman in a black suit with long straight brown hair came out of a cabin and locked it while back facing me. when she turned around my whole world crashed down. all those painful memories, all those painful nights, all those days that I used to remember her only as the memory was now here in front of me.
everything changed about her. the cute curly black hair which got turned into long straight brown hair, that cute very small double chin that turned into a jawline that can cut anyone's tongue. that cute face that was everyone's crush turned into a beautiful goddess. well, this wasn't really a change. those eyes which used to stare at me with pure love and adoration are now staring at me full of hatred
not being in conscience I step towards and stood in front of her. embracing her softly and thinking of her as the most delicate and precious to me I said, "where have you been, siam? all of these years. I was yearning for you..." she tried to push me as I tightly held her feeling that she may disappear the next moment I leave her. but she pushed me harder and I got nothing but a slap. I looked at her as she said with a hateful, "you should know how to behave with a senior associate attorney mister" saying these she left leaving me there alone.
I fell down on my knees and started to think about those sins I did to her. I defeatedly whispered, " sorry siam, but I was helpless and was compelled "
THE VERY NEXT DAY
AUTHOR'S PERSPECTIVE
walking like she owns this place she entered the law firm as everyone stood for her not to get in trouble. glaring at everyone, especially at hank with her deadly eyes. she went toward the stairs not taking the lift as it is under construction.
everyone sighed in relief and started grumbling about her behaviour. meanwhile, hank who was hella confused stated unconsciously, " her behaviour is like our school's history teacher" getting into a fit of laugh John said, " true though haha"
staring at those stairs I asked Sarah one of my colleagues, " hey Sarah, why is he so rude?" she just rolled of her eyes and said, " god knows. but hank why are you asking me about her? do you like her??" I just shook my head and said, " Nah just curious" he just hummed at went to her place only to eat chips.
meanwhile, hank sorrowfully said, "what made you change so much siam? but don't worry I am going to change your cold ass into that normal one." he smiled and started doing his work
NEXT WEEK
standing in the queue at the coffee machine he yawned as it's been 9 hours of his work and he is already feeling exhausted as he is determined to work and impress her.
knocking at the cabin's door he sighed and came inside. he placed the document on the table and looked at siam to see whether she is pleased or disappointed but this ice cube didn't show any moment or emotion. she just said, "leave" feeling sad he left as there was no other option. meanwhile, siam who was glued to her computer screen stared at the cabin glassy door as i single tear left from her cold eyes. she whispered, " why did you come back? is it only because to break my already- broken heart?"
THAT DAY
MIDNIGHT
closing her cabin she walked towards the stairs. her heels echoed throughout the building as there was no one. feeling exhausted she massaged her right shoulder while walking.
she suddenly halted when she saw a figure sleeping. she went toward it and saw that it was no one other than hank sleeping peacefully keeping his hands on the table and making it as a pillow. not knowing a small appeared on her goddess face. she went somewhere and came back with a thin duvet and covered him with it. when she turned around her hand got trapped by a strong hand. she turned around to see that hank was pouting and holding her hands which looked like he doesn't want her to leave him. she forcefully somehow freed her hands and left the building
who know that this cute baby was dreaming of his cold ice cube...
