Ashwika"Pathu ma Paathu ma" I heard Siva calling out to me to be careful and before I could turn back to look at the direction from where I heard his voice, he was already by my side holding and checking my hand.
For a moment, I think that I'm imagining. There was no update about him rejoining, today. There was no option for me to contact him and enquire about his health. I neither have his mobile number nor he has accepted my request to follow him on Instagram, in which he has a private account. The only source I had was Rakesh Anna to know about Siva's health condition.
I have never missed anyone in my life as much as I missed Siva. I couldn't concentrate properly on my work, and I was feeling moody. My humour sense turned to zero as I was unable to grasp any joke, not even Mukesh sir's joke.
How Siva was able to affect me within a day is a mystery for me like he is a mystery to me. That's why when he came in to check on my wound I thought I'm just imagining like many other times in the last week. Wherever I turned, I was seeing him in the office, even a while ago, I felt like I hv seen him so came to make a tea for myself but it was indeed him
The moment he touched my hand to check on my burn, all the electrons in my body charged up and felt like I was coming into life. It's not even a burn, just a couple drops of milk spilled on my forefingers but I'm moved by his concern. He was the one who was sick and rejoined today but now he is attending to my wound.
"Kumaru, Eppadi irukeenga?" I ask him how he is doing.
He looks up at me shocked and asks me, "Ipo ena sonna?"
"Eppadi irukeenga nu keeten"
"Athu illa ena enna nu soli kopta?"
"Kumaru" I remove my hands from his and cover my mouth, "Office naala Last name vachu kopten, ungaluku thaan endearment vachu kopta pudikathe." I say and cover my mouth again.
He crosses his arms and shakes his head in denial before instructing me to sit on the high stool behind the counter. I did as he said while he went up to the fridge and started rummaging
Ena pandraru, ivaru?
I tried to peek but with his height and body frame, I couldn't find what he was doing. Siva returns with an ice cube saver box and paces it on the counter.
Ena Ice ellam varuthu?
"Kai ya kaatu" he asks me to show my hand and when I forward mine, he holds on to my left and starts applying ice on the area when the milk was spilled.
