Aayat

I stood near the drink section alone...when I noticed Mr. Raghuvanshi coming towards me.
Why is he coming here?

When he joined me we had a normal conversation but I was startled by his act of throwing away his scotch because I said it's not good for health.

God why would he do that....and when I asked him..I was moved back by his words

I would quit everything you don't like angel

Angel? Did he just call me angel. That is what he said today at the office too.
Has he hit his head somewhere, these lines clearly we're not from Abhir Raghuvanshi. He is definitely a clone or something.
I really couldn't react to those words so I stood their silently, not willing to start any conversation.
After a while he again insisted me to go and join my colleagues on the dance floor. And I again politely discarded the offer .

Why is he so eager to send me there...can't I just stand here alone for a while.
The next moment he stated that....he could read my eyes and I am lying that I don't want to dance.
What has gotten into him? Does he remember he is my boss?
He was irritating me now...yes I admit I wanted join them but I have left dancing.

And now I ended the conversation telling him
"You can't read my eyes Sir, because I don't give anyone the access to do so. And I don't dance because it brings back memories, I would never want to revisit"

He didn't say anything for a while...but later said it is important to move on.

His words made me drift back to the memories I never wanted to relive...I could see every moment of that day right in front of my eyes. All I could see was a knife , blood...evrything red. The day I would hate to even think about...it's playing right in front of my eyes like a movie...each moment.

My hands started shaking, tears welled up in my eyes, I heard something shattering but I just couldn't react. I stood there like a statue.

Mr. Raghuvanshi held me by arm, called me a few times...thats when I was back to the reality. I realised that the glass i held has shattered into pieces and now my whole body was shaking due to fear.

I ran out of his grab to the washroom to calm my self down. I wanted some time alone. I need to gather myself up. I can't let my past experiences affect my present.

No no no no...I can't let that happen.
I have to move on.

I freshened up and went near the tap.
I looked into the mirror, I looked miserable. My tears stained cheeks, disheveled hair, shaking hands. It's all back, this is the exact way I used to be a year ago.

You have moved on Aayat...stay strong.

You are fine....you are fine...calm down...calm down.
I kept chanting these words.

I stayed there for a while, taking deep breaths to calm myself down.

Finally, after I don't know how much time...I decided to go out not before fixing my appearance.
I decided to leave...because all I needed was my bed and Coco.

Taking a deep breath I opened the washroom door....to find someone standing beside the door.

My eyes went wide when I saw Mr. Raghuvanshi.
What is he doing here? Why is he here? Was he waiting for me? How long has he been here?

Oh god

" Ms. Sahani are you okay?"
He said immediately when he his eyes landed on me.

"Yes sir. I'm fine. What are you doing here?" I asked out of curiosity.

"I wanted check on you!! I couldn't resist myself to come here and see whether you are fine or not.".
I was shocked by his words but I managed hide it in me .

"Oh!! There is no need for you to be tensed sir. I am absolutely fine . Thank you"

I stood there waiting for a response...but when he didn't , I decided to leave.

"Good night sir. I will take you a leave ."

I moved past him but suddenly he grabbed my wrist and turned me around .
This happened so quickly that my mind couldn't even react to it .

I stood their in shock.

"Tell me, what happened?" He asked with a hint of anger and concern.
What is he talking about ?

"Sorry...but what do you mean?"
I asked confused.

"What happened that you were on a verge of panic attack Aayat?"
He asked concerned.

I didn't knew how to react to this....I don't have any answer. And why in hell
Will I tell him ?

"Sorry to say but ..that's noone of your concern sir!!" I stated. I started moving ahead but he held me by my arm .

"Tell me Aayat, I want to know. Tell me what happened?" He asked me again .

Why doesn't he understand? Who is he to know all this?

"Sir, you are forgetting that you are my boss and I'm just an employee. You shouldn't be really concerned about someones personal life ." I stated but with a bit irritation in my voice.

He stepped forward and i stepped back....and then I couldn't move any further as my body touched the cold wall.
He stood right in front of me... merely a step afar.

" wh..what are you doing? " I asked.

"What do you think I'm doing.? Now tell me what happened to you in the bar? Why did you react like this?"

" I have clearly said that you should not involve yourself in your employees personal life . I am not gonna tell you anything. Now step away i want to leave." I hissed in anger.

" Not until you tell me." He barked out.

Now I'm done waiting.
What does he think of himself.

" Step away."
He didn't.

" Who do you think you are Mr Raghuvanshi? You must be my boss but you don't have any right to force me to tell you about my past. My personal life is none of your business. So you better know your limits. Now step away before I take any step I would regret later." I shouted at him.

And this time he did step away.
Better or he would have regretted not to.

I moved ahead to leave when he said .

"Do you wanna go home? I will drop you."

" No, thank you!! I can manage ."

With that I left .
What has gotten into him? Why is he acting so weird?

God help me.

I called uncle, whom I met a few days ago when he dropped me to my home.

I informed kirti that I was leaving and left the place .

The cab was here to pick me. I sighed when I finally sat in the car.

It was a weird day. I felt so many emotions. And i know that if it continues to happen inwint be able to take it. So yes!! I will take a break.

I need a break for sure. (Sigh)

Whatever happened between me and Mr. Raghuvanshi today wasn't something I ever expected.
I'm clearly shocked to see his reaction.
Like he was affected by the thought of me having a past. A past that affects me.
But why??
Him calling me angel.

I sure he has hit his head somewhere.

I reached home and landed up in my bed. I waited for all day long.

I was so tired that sleep engulfed me in a few minutes.

Good night.
