Abyss

Suicide

"How easily she reminds me of my past. And how gravely I'm falling for her."

Mihir and Bondita felt sparks flying
as they were 'almost in an embrace'. His hand didn't back down from her temples, instead of pulling himself back, he slid his other hand to grab her petite waist. His hold was commanding yet the most delicate that she quivered under his touch. An undying vulnerability came into effect and Bondita forgot everything around her but him. He's the only One She could remember. Correction! -
He's the only one she could EVER remember.
The stare that seemed long lasting and consuming came to a hault when he finally pushed her away and said "will you..?"

"Yea...! I mean yeah I'm..I am standing..w..ait!!" Her jaw was not in her control. She could hardly speak. Bondita never thought In her life that she would get out of words one day. That she would get deprived of her senses one day. That she would start falling for someone hopelessly...one day!!

A neurosurgeon magnate, powerful and intimidating. He doesn't count anyone better or equal to him. He can do anything and nobody will question his decisions. Ever. He is used to getting his way. And Bondita is just going to work for him. 'For His family' she corrected herself. Yes, she's not his employee. She's not his anything, however she wants to be for she's oblivious to what's coming next. Like a moth is drawn To a flame, Bondita isn't able to stop herself from waltzing to him. Whatever happened today between them is making her smile and smile. She is ready to accept the fate if he calls her. If he also feels attracted just the way she does, he just needs to call out to her. "Bondita..!"

"Bondita" he repeated in a low soft voice.

"Yeah..!?"

"You can't be hired." Bondits's face fell on his cold voice, all of a sudden he seemed distant. A moment ago they were so close, as If they belong to each other and now they seemed as strange as they were in the early evening.

"Is this your final decision?" A stone face Bondita inquired.

Mihir nodded seriously and added "You are definitely not what Bipin uncle has been."

"But you know right, uncle has already hired me. Irrespective of your opinion.. yeah maybe I won't handle your affairs but --"

"That's not your business to look after. And Miss Bondita Das - Your experience, your education is of no use, well well you may get a job in some pity company but here - as a legal advisor! Sorry!" Mockery and rudeness was evident in Mihir's voice.
"You may leave now!" He was audible and clear yet Stern and emotionless.

However, Bondita immediately realised that on basis of just a five minutes physical intimacy, she expected a lot from him and this refusal is the first blow.
"And the last." He's not her type - she believed.

"Is it?" Her conscious mocked. Because what she felt with Mihir in that moment was so Powerful. Even if for five minutes, she never felt it with anyone else. When Mihir touched her, griped her, her body was on fire, the tension between them increased a thousand folds, only to never turn normal.

Bondits's POV

I didn't realise that my day was going to be a lot more worst then yesterday as I woke up at 11 in the morning. Well, it was bound to happen because I slept around 6. Its not like I have never faced rejections but ---
This one hit pretty hard and bad. I never had such a sleepless night untill yesterday.
Did he really reject me because I was less qualified? Oh c'mon I'm as educated as my father and even more. And..!
How can he!! I need to talk to him. At least he should taste his own medicine for once. How can he demean my education like that!? Who the hell he's to tell me what my education and my experience will bore me. Who the hell he's!! Damn!!
