NEXT MORNING
STILL AUTHOR PERSPECTIVE
brushing off his eyebrows he yawned as he woke up from his comfortable sleep (well it can't be said like that. stressful sleep yeah. it's appropriate). looking here and there he realised that he slept at his so-called firm. he straightly sat up and noticed that he had been covered with a blanket. he looked here and there but found no one except the holy sunrays falling through the glass as it was only 5:18 AM.
shrugging it off he packed his belongings and exited the law firm only to come back at 10 AM. he again sat down at his place and said with stress, " being in a law firm is natural stress." and again started his work like a mouse potato...
walking with a gleaming smile he walked towards his boss's cabin he found no one. with that sad smile that earlier converted from that gleaming smile, he looked towards that office but found nothing except some photo frame of her and her family.
sitting on her seat he acted like he was siam and started imitating her. he giggled and spun around to the door but only ended up falling along with her office chair when he saw siam standing leaning on the door, her hands folded up across her chest, staring- more likely glaring at me with that frustrated look.
he stood up and nervously laughed at her and said, " actually boss I came to submit the document of our electronics build up... here take it" after saying he sprint off her office while she stood there staring blankly at the mess he created.
NEXT DAY
playing rock paper and scissors, the law firm staff were deciding who would go and ask permission from their so-called senior associate attorney for their small office picnic. eventually, Lisa got lost and had to convince herself to convenience siam for the picnic idea... while everyone was howling around. hank chuckled at their silliness and went to the 3rd floor through the elevator.
after submitting the reports to the litigation attorney he pressed the buttons of the elevator but the button didn't glow up which concerned him... after some 5 seconds, the lift beeped and opened in front of him. the door opened and the first thing he saw was those cold dark orbs which scared the hell out of him. he slowly entered the lift and stared at the closing door. some 7 seconds later the lift suddenly started shaking and siam fell to the floor while he held the rail to balance his body...
she straightly stood up only to fall again along with him. he winced in pain when his pretty booty meet the cold lift floor. he looked over to find siam hugging her knees as she put her head on the space between her knees and looked at him blankly. she spoke, " we are trapped... just wait for some time the security will come over to rescue us." he just stared at her with his wide eyes as this was the longest line this ice cube spoke to him. he just nodded and sat on the opposite corner of the lift where siam was seated.
to gain her attention, he fake coughed and spoke, " umm miss siam can I ask u for something?" she just nodded and he asked, "it's wintertime... can the firm staff go to a picnic in the woods?" he looked at her hopefully as she thought and replied, " ask the litigation attorney, he is in 1st position. his decision will be my decision..." he just smiled and suddenly the lift shook and the door opened. she exited the lift as nothing ever happened. while hank was smiling ears to ears and when he came out he saw the security guard and said, " just don't repair the elevator. it is my good luck" and went away leaving the confused guard behind
PICNIC DAY
everyone was excited and were keeping the suitcase on the bus as it was a 2-day trip. all were happy and were taking selfies and photos whereas there was siam who was silently eating chocolate and was looking at them at distance. her facial expression was like someone has forced her to come to the picnic and it was true...litigation attorney has done. ruining her novel day she had to come to the picnic.
her bored expression caught hank's attention as he slowly walked towards her and looked at her and she too did. he slowly lifted her suitcase and went near the bus and kept it where all the suitcases were there.
when they were all ready everyone went inside that huge luxurious bus. of course luxurious as they are law firm staff. the bus kick-started as everyone took their phone, plugged the earphone and headphones into their ear and started dozing off [pheww! this generation]. while siam who was sitting alone at last with no seatmate started reading her so-called precious novel while plugging the headphones into her ears.
4 HOURS LATER
when the bus suddenly stopped shaking the staff like anything they groaned and came out of the bus whereas siam who was still sleeping woke up after pretty 20 minutes later. she woke up and found no one but just a neck pillow around her neck which wasn't hers. she roamed her eyes but found nothing. she came out of the bus and started searching for everyone and she finally found them making the tent. she asked one of the staff coldly, " do you know whose pillow is this?" he was hella scared and thus answered a single no and ran away. she liked that aura but deep down she hated it...
at night every one was doing born fire after taking a nap in the tent. whereas siam who was not at all interested in the bonfire took a torch and went towards the mountain. this caught the attention of hank and he started chasing her carefully.
reaching the nearby mountain tip she sat on the ground and started admiring the view of the night sky. all those memories again flashed up against her closed eyes. she wiped off the tiny teardrops which formed due to those memories.
she felt someone's presence and looked backside to find hank looking at her regretfully... not in a state to hate him or scold him she simply tapped the place next to her indicating for him to sit down. he slowly came near her and sat down. after pretty 6 minutes later debating whether to speak or not he finally spoke, " the view is really beautiful" she glanced at him and again to the sky and spoke, " no it is not." he looked at her confusedly and she continued, "the moon which is bounded by millions of stars and is glowing enormously is deep down still sad. as you know you can't judge a book by its cover." he regretfully said, " often, whatever you see is not the reality, and whatever is the reality, you don't see. you really can't judge a book by its cover. and me too." she stared at him and said, " you were never the person who can be judged in fact you are yourself the person you judges and play with peoples heart..." a tear escape from both their eyes as he spoke, " I have my justifications."
she replied, " then stay happy with your justifications ."
he said, " can I explain ?"
after giving up this frustrating situation she finally nodded as he continued, " I used to adore you a lot. whenever you used to enter the classroom my face used to light up seeing your cute face. the way you used to drink water with a cute smile. glancing over me from time to time. and offering those cute tiffin boxes to me as I never used to eat anything at recess. I always wanted to become close to you and it happened but when my betrayal friends gave me a dare to break your heart and when I refused they threatened me that they may harm you... on that day of confession, I was truly confessing to you but they showed up and ruined everything. when you passed out you saw that I banged the door and went away but I was the one who took you to the hospital after some time. when you ran away I searched for you like every day but you never showed up and I hated myself for that tiny misunderstanding..."
she clapped her hands while her tears were glimmering in the night sky as she spoke, " WOW! just wow, I never thought that you have this much wild imagination. everything that you spoke was just a lie and nothing... you. are. just a fucking playboy who wanted to play with my heart!!!" she screamed on his face. his tears were on the verge of falling from his eyes as he spoke, " listen siam I really loved you and still--" he got cut off from her shouting voice," you never ever loved me ok?? you are just trying to break my already broken heart... if you would have loved me then you would have never kissed amelia on the day of me passing out." he slowly spoke, " I was forced "
" no, you not." after all this mess he hugged her tightly as she pushed him but failed. he started ranting, " please don't leave me, I really missed that old siam" but she finally gave up and cried and eventually stopped showing action, he went confused and saw that she was silently sobbing. he hugged her and she too did but in a state of deep confusion about whether to trust him again or not. she just stood silently and waited for him to release her. when he released her, he spoke, " please siam forgive me. I know I did break your heart and I truly regret it. please just forgive me and let's start everything again..."
she stared at nothing and finally spoke, " ok. I will forgive you but never ever come close to me. I just hate being with you... I just hate being with anyone " after warning him, she ran away leaving him in a relief state as he whispered, " don't worry teddy...I will always be with you."
