before the Rain

His cold words - warm acts

AVANI'S POV

"I'm working on a task you gave me sir,I can't leave it halfway sir.I will complete it in 2 hours and I'll present it on your table "- I said and walked towards my cabin with slow steps.

But inside I'm feeling scared..I'm scared of darkness . He knows it very well.
In return I took a latte coffee and went to my cabin.

I drew the plan as my boss said.
I made variations in wall dimensions and ground floor planning.

I saw the clock and it's already 8.30 pm in night.

I took the plan and went to his office..
"Come in "- a sound echoed from the door's buzzer.

I entered his office chamber and saw him still working by checking some files and signing them..

I placed the chart on the table and stood beside the table.
( I don't want to sit and don't want to listen to his tantrums)- my inner voice .

"Explain the plan"- he said without looking at my face..focusing on chart.

when I placed my left-hand on chart explaining the plan , unknowingly his hand touched my scars on left hand.

I gasped and looked at him , who's focus is on chart. Immediately I took out my hand from his .

I explained the plan..tensely standing there for his reaction.

"Ok avani. Good work. We will go to the site tomorrow.. we will begin on field work after 2 days. We are flying to Mumbai tomorrow .. get ready"- he said.

"What??? Mumbai?? No sir..my job location is in Hyderabad.."- i murmured.

"You have to execute the plan onfield ..The site location is in Mumbai..you are assisting me in this 3 months project .you are shifting to Mumbai . Company will provide you accomdation"- he said.

"Sir...sir..! I can't ..."- i murmured.

"See..Ms.Avani subramanian. I got this government project tender after facing many hurdles..it's minister's request to comply with green resilient structures.
I can't take any chance.. you are flying with me by tomorrow morning to mumbai. 5 months duration."- he said.

I lowered my gaze with sad face and said "ok sir.."

He directed towards the shelf beside me and said "your flight tickets are in that shelf .tomorrow sharp 6 am in the morning .meet you in airport "- he said.

I went to the shelf and tried to open it.
"Sir...it's not opening " - I said.

"What can you do..you can't even open the shelf. Eating ,chilling ,nothing else "- he grinned .

He came to me and pulled the shelf with great force..he opened the drawer and gave me my tickets .

"Your plan and on-field execution"- I murmured by lowering my gaze .

"What??what are you talking about?"- he asked..

"I can draw a plan for your project and can execute the plan"- I said..

He smirked at me and went to his seat .

I packed my things.. I took my handbag and stepped out of my cabin and walked towards elevator. I didn't see any security there.

I pushed the elevator button and after 2-3 times trying , the lift opened and i entered inn.

I pushed groundfloor button .
Im feeling suffocated and i took my duppata to clean my sweatdrops.

Suddenly , at great thud the elevator stopped and I screamed ...

"Anyone there!!! Please help me...
Help help...I pressed the emergency button in the elevator and siren rang".
