Next day,Manik came to the office early yet again. He could not sleep last night, it was hard to fall asleep at a different time. In fact, when has it happen that someone gets habitual to a new place right within a week of his shifting!
He his body felt tired and sleepy, he knew he wasn't going to catch any sleep and decided to come office earlier. There was as usually no one except for the guards at the gate.
He happily marched through the empty room occupied by employees cubicles and went to his cabin. The early morning rays illuminated his cabin, the sweet smell of room freshener filled his lungs as he made his ways inside.
Having taken a seat Manik opened the button of his coat. He pulled out some files from a drawer and started the laptop. While it was getting ready, he went through his phone only to find some lovely message of Piya.
Piya- Hi hero, I'm writing you this message just so you know you are being missed badly 😭
We miss your presence around, and you beautiful laughter 😍😍
If you get a chance in between your work, Plzz video call me. 😪
Love you. ❤
He emotionally smiled, caressed her profile pic with a small yearning sigh. This woman knew how to play with his heart. He already had a hard time start his life here without her and his parents, and this message did the perfect job of shaking his emotional strength.
He wished to see her. See them. Manik pouted looking at her picture as if she was able to see him and typed a reply,
Manik-- Miss you too, babe. I will definitely connect with you during the break. ❤❤❤❤
And I want hundred kisses too😈 Get ready to give me that.
Longingly staring at the message he just typed, Manik satisfactorily chuckled. It was a perfect reply to her distracting message.
(15 mins later)
He was engrossed in working. A lot of stuff seemed to have loopholes. Manik, dedicatedly, was glancing through them in silence until, "Just go away!" a loud annoyed shriek came from outside the closed door of his cabin. It belonged to a woman.
His eyes narrowed at the yell. The concentration he was working with broke when the noise increased. He worried his lower lip between his teeth, there was no one except for him and as a result it caught him suspicious as he suspiciously got up.
"Leave me!!! Leave me, Maan!"
The mention of the familiar name widened his eyes, Manik promptly rushed outside by following the noise. It was coming from the next cabin located a few metres away, the HR's cabin.
"What... Uhhh, leave me, Maan. Help... Somebody help me!!!!"
As manik inched closer the voice became clearer. He sensed fear and a ripple of tremor alongside tremble. The intensity with which the scream echoed and threatened his hearing, he was sure it was not something that was supposed to happen in the early hours, in an empty office building.
"Nand-nandini, what the, stop screaming! Why are you shout—"
"HELP... PLZZZZ HELP ME." Manik hurried towards the shut door of the HR manager's cabin as this time another voice spoke, a man's voice.
With intake of a deep breath, he kicked his strong feet on it, breaking it open. And what he saw, made his jaw drop and eyes widen in utter nonsense.
"Na-nandini!" She was standing between the desk and Maan, in a disheveled demeanour.
The button if white plain shirt were open and her hair falling on her face. There was terror playing in her teary red eyes while her lips hysterically shook. On the other hand, Maan's eyes popped out of his socket. He walked away from Nandini at the realization of being seen by him.
The expressions told he wasn't expecting anyone to be office at this second, there were still some hours to go.
"Ma-nik," As her gaze fell on him, Nandini got a grip of her breathing and ran in Manik's direction while he steeled there, throwing sharp daggers at Maan.
Tbc...
Next chapter on its way.
