AVNEIL: Love-Hate-Love Story

47. Struck with the topper!

I Nervously tapped my foot in front of my dad's office room feeling anxious. After the incident in principal's office dad has stopped talking with me completely .He ignored me like a worm; at home and everywhere. I think the last time he saw me was when I was in hospital. That day he looked so devastated, his eyes were filled with sadness and worry. I could feel he was hurting watching me all again in the hospital bed struggling with life and death but he didn't spoke a word more to me . He just stayed beside me all silent like he was punishing me for my deeds. How badly I wanted to hug him? Say sorry for all my terrible mistakes  but I knew I couldn't .He was angry .More than angry he was  disappointed with me.

After that even I  didn't made any conversation with him .I knew he needed space for calming down. But right now I need to talk with him about Avni. she needed job and dad can only help her. 

"Calm down Neil! "

I took a deep breath and knocked the door twice. I waited for  few seconds before a voice called from inside.

"Come in!"

I gulped and Slowly opened the door entered inside. I hesitatingly looked at my dad who was already starring at me with a shocked expression.

"Hi dad." I whispered lowly.

"What are you doing here?" Dad asked sternly .I starred at him with hurtful eyes . He didn't even greeted me but it's okay this is what I deserve .

"I came here to talk dad!" I mumbled.

"I'm busy right now. we will talk at home so leave!" dad said dismissively without even glancing at me. I felt my eyes burn with tears threatening to fall but I controlled myself.

"It's about Avni dad." I told him drinking back my tears.

Dad stopped whatever work he was doing .

"What did you do this time?" he asked angrily. I felt my heart drop with pain. This is what my dad thinks of me now? A jerk!

"I didn't do anything dad . I need a favour....I mean help." I trailed off.

"What?" Dad asked astonished.

I walked closer to the dad and took a deep breath.

"Dad listen, Avni... she needs job urgently . I knew because of me she stopped coming here but right now she needs job immediately but I don't know why? So... I want you to recruit her again in this company but job should be work from home as I know after college it's really difficult to come here and do the work so...."I rambled and sighed. I looked at dad he was frowning but i knew he understood what I meant.

"Why are you doing this?" He asked after sometime.

"Its because I wanted to rectify my mistakes dad . Even though I knew non of this would actually compensate my deeds." My shoulders shagged as I said. Sadness filled my heart making me hard to speak few syllables out.

Dad didn't said anything.He just starred at me. I bit my lip with nervousness.

"Avni Is capable and you knew too, dad. She left job because of me but now I'm telling you "I took a deep breath.

"Please help me... by helping her dad. " My voice cracked as few tears spilled down my eyes.

 "Please dad!." With that I left the office.

AUTHOR'S POV -

"OH MY GOD PARI ! LOOK AT THIS!" Avni screamed looking at her phone. Her eyes were wide as two cup saucers. 

"Oh my god What happened?Why are yo screaming like that." Pari who just came out of the bathroom yelled running towards avni.

"Look at this Pari, Offer letter from khanna industries that to work from home.." Avni frowned as she read offer details and salary.
