WILL YOU DO ME A FAVOUR

19. LONELY FEELING

Weeks passed quickly... That means my stay in this mansion is decreasing and..... I'm not feeling happy about it. I know this is not how I should be feeling, I should be happy that this drama will come to an end in forty-five weeks but plenty of things were making me feel upset. Upset can be an understatement.

I switched off the coffee machine and took the coffee essence. I forgot to add sugar cubes and milk. It tasted like a bitter gourd drink and I still drank, resting my back on the kitchen counter.

I didn't really communicate much over non-work stuff with Abir. I'd been right in thinking he'd leave me alone a lot. Oh, sure, I saw him every day, but that was mostly at Harper technologies.

Past two weeks, I didn't put that much energy in work and waited for my beloved boss to yell at me but he remained silent. I tried all the way to keep him away from me in this house and achieved it but at the office it wasn't possible. When I try to find him a PA, everyone initially accepts and then when I brief them about their word as Abir's PA they back off.

I grew to love my new temporary home. I really did. But there was something about being mostly alone in such a massive building, I almost became a crap. I sometimes miss him, I sometimes crave for his company and next moment when he's here. I run far away from him and pretend to be busy.

Recently I constantly kept visiting my parents, they'd started to question if everything was "okay at home," especially since Abir never accompanied me on the visits. Now, even if I want to go and meet them, I'm fearing their cross questions and silently staying here.

I noticed my phone vibrating and lifted it, "Hello"

"The wedding dress you designed is nice and we'll work on it. I'll send a confirmation mail to Abir and also you can come to the boutique once I'm done with the stitching work. So, that you can try it and tell me the corrections for a perfect fitting." Catherin spoke.

"Fine"

I ended the call . I wasn't showing up much interest in this useless reception. Unlike me Abir was only kept on pestering for a beautiful venue and posh decoration. I felt like he was unnecessarily spending his money and didn't pay much attention to it. My focus was only on finding a PA for him.

It didn't seem right to spend so much money on a dress for a fake wedding reception, but I'd agreed to try on a few, since he forced me to not make our wedding look fake. I'm still clueless whether he decided the venue or not.

I received another call, it is Saturday and I hate to see my phone constantly ringing. I hoped this would be the last call I'm attending for the day.

"Mish, you need to come to the studio next Saturday for the shooting of the advertisement. I hope you are comfortable with the day we picked." The lady spoke to me in a sweet voice.

"Hmm..."

I placed my phone near me and stared at the ceiling above me. Abir was uninterested in most holidays, so he'd probably hole up in either his home office or the one at Harper technologies. He didn't pay attention to holidays while I at least felt the need to travel, somewhere out and relax myself. I could go and meet Adalyn but again, she would repeat the same set of questions my parents will ask me.

All I thought about and can do at the moment is to head to the media room. I washed the coffee mug and walked inside the huge building. I took some ready made popcorn with me. I could have gone inside the library but my mind wasn't in the position of reading and then imagining the things.

Settled on one of the comfy leather seats in the media room, I used the remote control to flick through the movie options on the large TV screen. I kept switching on the film genre and didn't find anything suitable for me. Nothing was actually grabbing my interest and my head was spinning. I still wasn't feeling sleepy but a little weird sensation of uneasiness was being felt by me.
