My Strong Secretary (Riansh ff)

Chapter 23

Riddhima

Eyes stuck to the screen to find out who the person was. The person crossed Cam 5, unnoticed.

I typed a bit more into the system, just to forget that it was my own and I didn't need to hack into it, which I did.

Acing, I typed into the computer, typing down codes, I had learned, breaking the firewall, was my mission. Green and black, codes appearing onto my computer.

I had never typed this fast for anything, hell I don't even work my full potential towards the best office files.

"Almost... there.... come on..... Yes... yes.... almost....." I muttered, typing more, I was at the end of my wit with this, if this didn't work, I am breaking down this whole damn security.

My phone dinged with a notification, like I care, bro. I have a strong firewall to break. And it kept on dinging, frustrating me more.

I typed one last code, that either changes the life of him or destroys it completely. This code matters. A sheen of sweat forming on my forehead.

With the back of my goodies hand, I wiped it down. The desperation after typing the code was too much. My eyes zoomed in on the camera. Both of ours did.

For a slight second, my eyes drifted off towards my phone, that dinged with notifications.

Security system firewall hacked. Barrier broken. Please check on it and change your password. It said.

"Oh for the Lord's sake!" I screeched. Earning me a look from Mr. Perfectionist. "What happ-" he decided to ask, but I stepped in.

"I hacked into my own security system!" he looked at me dumbfounded. He didn't understand.
"Later, let's focus on this." Well for starters, I hacked into my system and broke the strong firewall, I set up.

Now, my security system is vulnerable to hackers, more like, hacker prone areas now. Hence, I need to set up another strong firewall to keep my security safe.

The fact that I broke my own system. Stupid me. All the stupid words, Baka, pabo, buka, that's me, yes.

Seems like, he understood the angle of CCTV cameras. Too bad for him, the next camera he enters will be a lot different than the other five cameras.

As soon as I thought, the person came in eyesight. I was appalled. What is this?! What is all this?!

"Are you kidding me now?" I slumped back on the chair. "Is this for real?! I am-" I motioned into throwing the table off. I know that it is immature, but I am too frustrated to understand that.

"All this for this?!" He, Mr. Perfectionist, pointed towards the cctv in disbelief. I couldn't agree with him more, all this work for this, as the conclusion.

I am disappointed.

Frustration, evitable on our faces. Man, if disappointment had a face it would be us, a day, it would be today, a moment, then now.

This was not worth putting my own security on the line. Now, I have to build another one. For this?!?! Ugh.

Groaning, I got up, I really need a break. "I'm done, no, seriously. I am." I spoke, dejectedly. "All this for what, a blank, glichted cctv that didn't even capture the face in any way. This-ugh!" I spoke.

"Is this all we have got? And yeah, what about the security system?" He asked. I looked at him, sighed and started explaining.

"I broke my own security system, like my own firewall. That means, my security system is prone to hackers. In short, if we have someone who tracks into my system or hacks into it, my life or, well yours too, is in danger." I looked at him, and his reaction was, "What!?? How-why?! Can you do something about it? Please tell me you can." he looked anxious who wouldn't be, I am too, however as not much as him, he is not mighty like me, or anything.

"Yeah, I can, bit for now, we are walking on eggshells. So be careful, ok?" He nodded.

I went back to making the firewall more stronger. God, give me energy.

Vansh

I feel bad for Riddhima, I mean I am kind of a burden to her. A bit selfish? No, a lot. I know, I acknowledge that fact. But, I am worried too. About me, my family and... maybe her being strong helps me stay strong.

Seeing her fight, work with so much dedication towards my protection shields me from all my insecurities.

Seeing her will, makes me will to be strong and be me too. Because, I am ugly with insecurities on the inside.

I can't be anything but a burden.

My mom died, because she carried me, I was a burden to her. She died giving birth to me.

My father resented me, for that. I was labelled a curse. He trained me, yes he did, but to get to where I am, I had to fight. From my first job as an intern, to a secretary of my father to the position I hold.

It was not my father who nurtured this company to what it is now, but me, my hardwork. Father, never allowed me to have emotions. But I did, all I could do was hide them.

And that's what I did, I cannot cry, my father won't allow me to. I cannot laugh, my father won't allow that too. I cannot fall in love, he won't allow me to.

For him, marriage and love is business. And I had to agree to him. I resent him. But, I am at fault too. If I wasn't such a burden than everything would have been fine. If I wasn't such a failure, than maybe my father would have loved me. Not resented me.

Not even my family loves me, but I do so it doesn't matters. Siya and Dadi love me, but the others are indifferent towards me and so am I.

Half of my family is against me and tries to put me down almost all the time. But, that is ok, right? Family does that to make you stronger right?

At least that's what I think. I'm not sure... Maybe I was doomed to be in such a way.

But, I don't want to burden anyone anymore, specially her. I have done enough harm and now, even her safety is not guaranteed. I cannot bear to see someone else get hurt due to me. Again. No, I hope, everything, goes well and her life is not threatened.

Hope, I hope. Everything is alright.
