Arshita
Everything was live, happy and moving outside the window. I was living too, but there was no life in me, no enthusiasm in me. Each minute felt heavy and longest.
I wonder why good days pass by like a flip of your finger. And this mind which brings much more grave by reminding you each happy moments of your life makes it more hard. Back of my head pricked as I gulped the coffee and the pain, thinking all of it.
My eyes lowered to the coffee mug to watch that shitty thing I made. It was the worst coffee I ever made.
I always made best coffee, I think I used to or that's what Ronit made me to believe. Before I could turn to throw away the coffee, the ball came from nowhere and hit my hand doing the honours. My cup flew down the balcony and I cried in pain.
"Sorry Arshi Di. Rahul did this di. He did this. " The boy tried to defend himself when I could see the culprit speaking.
I smiled at their innocence and passed them their ball picking it from the floor," It's OK. But not next time. "
" Thanks di. " They all chortled at the same time. Atleast someone was happy in their life!
I contented seeing happiness around me and walked into the room when my phone called me.
" Hey Arshi! Come fast today. That handsome spoilt is coming to office today! "
" What? He was to come tomorrow, right? " My bosses son was coming back to India from New York. I never saw him but Piya always said he looked handsome and hot. After completing his MBA from Harvard University, he took over the business in New York which hiked up within a year breaking all the former records. All credit goes to his hard work, talent and intelligence as Time Magazine quoted about him.
It was high time. I ran to my bathroom, hastily picking up my towel from the opened drawer. Taking fast shower, I stood before my cupboard.
Presentable!
I needed to be presentable. My finger went to my mouth and started to bite my nails in confusion, standing in towel in front of cupboard.
"Waste. Everything is waste here. " I yelled aloud and started to scavenge for the best outfit. I chose the deep red hot pants and white blouse.
I sighed at the red pants but that was all I had in 'would work' category. I slipped into it and put my hair into a high pony tail with little red lipstick.
It took me another ten minutes to get a taxi. You get more late, when you are in hurry. They say if you are willing, there is a way. But for me what I will goes far away.
"Arshi! He wants to see the staff. Hurry! Thirtieth floor. " Piya fussed in my face. She was freaking out.
" He is just our boss. " I held her both arm which were moving a lot.
" Exactly. " She whispered and silently breathing yelled at me like a bomb bursting after the great silence.
" He is our BOSSSS! "
I walked past her as I understood it wasn't the time to get her head straight. She followed me still taking heavy breaths.
" Calm down darling! He has just come and called us to see his employees, you know. Usual 'we care about you' show off which every boss do at first. Be cool! " I patted her back and she nodded.
I wanted too to be calmed down with all the rush my head gets into. I wanted someone to pat my back and say 'everything will be fine.' I waved at the thought and looked at all the 'busy at the top of building' elevator. How come everything goes odd with you? When would this happen to other?
" Arshi, let's take that elevator. " She pulled me toward the reserved elevator.
" Employees not allowed! " I reminded her.
" He motioned me if we want and I want. "
" Who? Whew! "
My breathing hitched and my foots went solid. With my pounding heart because of view before me, I was dragged Inside the elevator. It was love all over me taking over my strong heart. It already broke me once and now I was again being clawed under it. I looked at his dazzling sharp feature and my eyes didn't wanted to go anywhere.
It was him.
