—The  Nightmare—

I had the worst nightmare ever! I was late for office, there was the new boss, I had to meet him and he actually was the person I kicked  in the groin at the Airport and most of all he was my ex-fiance! 

What an absurd dream. Everything getting all mixed up.

But well, now I was finally awake. I tried pushing off my blanket, but there wasn't any. I sat up abruptly and realized that I was on a sofa!

I looked at the wall in front of me and realized that it was grey. I looked around and the room looked very modern. Everything looked the same as was in my dream, the same grey walls, same table, the same man..the same man!  I  fixed my eyes at him and there he was.

My worst nightmare smirking at me.

My heart pounded loudly as the realization dawned upon me. It was not a nightmare, it was the reality! He was staring at me like I am his prey and he will attack me the moment I will make a movement.

"I hope you slept well." His voice was bitter and he had a fake smile plastered on his face.

"I..I didn't..I.." It was difficult to form any sentence as I tried standing up and regaining my lost composure. He was still sitting on his chair looking at me with raised eyebrows.

"You what, Ms. Shah?" I didn't like the way he emphasized on my name with so much hate!

"I didn't sleep..I...I don't know.." I was acting like a 2-year old who just learnt to talk. I felt weak, he was staring at me with so much venom in his eyes that I felt like running out of his office. Running away from him, once more. The intensity was hard to handle.

"You collapsed." He said with a poker face.

"Oh." Was all I could say.

I didn't believe it at first but if the name I read was correct, my shock must have made me lose consciousness. My worst nightmare was in front of me. I didn't know what to say, my mind told me to just run out of this suffocating devil's den, but something told me to take a stand for myself.

Something told me that I was not raised to run away from my problems. 

 How ironic? Where was this voice when I was planning the whole running away thing? 

How ironic? Since running away is the root of my every possible problem right now.

"I am sorry for the inconvenience, Mr. Kapoor," I mumbled quickly and started walking towards the door, with great difficulty but he stopped me.

"Wait." His voice held that dare-to-defy-me-and-you-are-dead tone.

I stopped in my track and turned around to face him, I saw him as he unfolded his length from the leather chair, he was tall..very tall. And intimidating. Or maybe I am just short and scared.

"Where do you think you are going?" He raised an eyebrow at me like I was doomed to be in his office forever.

"Back to work." My voice was so little that it was difficult for even me to recognize it. I wasn't even sure if I had work after everything which has happened. 

"I am sure I didn't dismiss you. did I?" He asked and his expressions were evil. I am in big trouble. Anybody could sense it, only there was nobody in the room except us and it was my only concern.
