The city was silent.The evening had alarmed for a cold night. Ameya had her hands wrapped around her legs as she sat at a corner.She was tired and her eyes spoke of it.The company phone rang at some desk and she suddenly rushes in the dark with a spark of hope.
"Hello,can you hear me?,I'm stuck here ,could you please help me out!",the call got disconnected,she felt as if the night is going to swallow her ,she felt a bit dizzy.
A car honked as it came in,the lights just crept inside the dark halls and she slowly tried to open her eyes.She covered her eyes with one hand and raised her other hand waved ,hoping for someone to spot her through the large glass walls.
A man comes in through the exit way . She could barely recognize the person ,as her tired eyes had already eaten her half into consciousness.He stretches out his arms ,lifts her carefully and carries her all through the way slowly .
He puts her down carefully,"Seriously,What are you up to, don't you know the company is all sealed and closed after working hours?",he narrowed down his eyes and asked her sternly,"have you lost it or what?,thanks to the security who found that someone hadn't swiped the card."
"Thankkk..uo",she shakily responds as she figures out his face to be Mr.Jo. She was about fall,when he holds her and makes her sit inside the car.He drives outside.
A car had stopped at a distance .Ethan was watching from his car .
Jo drives to a nearby restaurant.He calls in for a coffee outside. Ameya was feeling cold,he removes his coat and places them on her.She looks at him and refrains the offer"Its okay,I can manage..". He glares at her softly"shhhh..just stay silent and have the coffee".She nods at him with a smile.
The coffee had brought her back to complete sense,"Oh,I didn't call him",she searches for her phone.He looks at her searching for her phone.He hands her the bag she had dropped.She sees the number of missed calls and messages.
"He could have just come over ,was it so hard to look for someone when they don't pick up so many calls,"she mumbles to herself agitated.
" 'Him' oh you have a boyfriend?.."he suddenly asks her.She was about to tell him but remembers Ethan asking her to keep it a secret at their office for a while.She mimics a cough,"Oh,hh.. that was my..fr.. friend,i stay in his neighborhood ".
They walk out of the restaurant."Shall I drop you?",he asks her to get in .She thanks him but declines ,"I have to stop by a shop..and yeah he would be coming ".
"Yeah,sure! But do call me if you need a help,actually I live in the next street,and do come by for a coffee,I can offer you the most delicious coffee in town",he laughs .
She smiles wide and rubs her both palms together"thank you ..I will look forward for that".
He waits for her to cross the street lane.She turns to see him waving from a distance .She raises her hands and waves back.She walked in a hurry ,the street lights went off at some distance.She walked faster.A car slows down beside the walkway.She turns to see Ethan .
"Are you planning to walk all the way?",he stops the car. She walks without a word,the street lights go off suddenly,she turns to see him behind her .She walks to the car ,he follows her with a light smile.
Guys sorry for all the grammatical errors.Hope you are enjoying!!!
