"Poona what's the matter? What did you do?" Asked Drishya with raised eyebrows.
"Me? I... I didn't do anything" said Pooja nervously and smiled at Drishya.
"Poona I could literally see your tail hiding between your legs, are you sure you didn't do anything?"
"Pooja what have you done!!!" Said one of her assistants running towards her in horror "it's better you go place your head under a train, that man is never going to spare you"
"I..." Said Pooja in fear.
"What did she do?" Asked Drishya.
"You know that grumpy professor who almost killed us with his words yesterday, she threw her coffee on him,"
"What??, Poona?"
"I... I didn't know he was there... I... I am sorry,"
"I took you with me to make your mood ok and now you are ruining my work!! do you have any idea what that man is like? See, this is why I am not your bff"
" I am sorry, I didn't mean to do that... He just, he just appeared from nowhere and I was angry about something or someone and i... I..."
"When is this 'someone' going to leave your thoughts?"
"It was not my fault, I said sorry to him, I can buy a new shirt for him, if he wants..." Said Pooja looking down and biting her lips.
"I am done, if he is asking for her tell him we don't know her..." Drishya said to her co-workers.
"What!! You are going to leave me in this like that!!"
"Do I have any other choice? Poona, that person is the one who defined how an arrogant bitch can be, I am not facing him again, one time was enough for me."
Everyone looked at Pooja in sympathy like she is going to die the next moment, but Pooja was feeling bad for throwing coffee at him and she didn't even help him nor could she say sorry properly. He deserves to be angry at her.
"I am sorry Drishya, I will go see him and apologize..."
"Are you insane!! That man will eat you alive, come, we are leaving, the function is going to start, and I don't want him to find you here and pour all his verbal abuse on you,"
"No, I want to apologize, I feel so bad, I didn't even help him to wash the stain off, if he is getting angry then let him, he deserves to be angry at me,"
"You dumb ass, why are you digging your own hole?"
"Because I feel so bad, I threw that coffee in anger with someone else, and it's my mistake," said Pooja and shrugged.
"Is that someone Akshay?"
"Yeah, that dumb ass man fucked up my head and now I am taking my anger on strangers, maybe hearing an earful from Mr grumpy professor will put some sense into my head and I will get over from where my life is stuck."
"That's a good idea actually, I am sure that you will not be able to find your senses after this meeting,"
Pooja sat in the last row when the function started, she searched for her coffee man in the row of professors, but no, she couldn't find him, 'Maybe he left, how can he sit in a function with a ruined shirt. Great Pooja, look what you have done,'
Pooja looked at the group of students who were laughing and murmuring looking at someone sitting on the stage with a coffee-stained white shirt. His muscles were tensed and he was throwing daggers at Pooja with his eyes.
She realized it was his coffee man, 'What is he doing up there? OMG everyone is laughing at him.' she thought and mouthed a sorry at him. He glared at her for some more minutes and looked away.
