But Why Me??

20. It was Her

" I thought you will duck your head. " She was upset by now and the guilt was visible in her eyes.

I let her say whatever she wants to, she won't listen or understand while she is upset all she needs to let all it out and I would gladly give her that chance to do so.

" There was enough time for you to defend yourself then why you didn't? " She asked while keeping her mobile aside and giving her full attention to me.

While keeping her mobile beside me on the table her hands, which were holding ice pack pushed slightly unknowingly.

I tsks and lowered my head which blocks the view of my injury to her.

" Sorry sorry. Let me see. " She was struggling for how to lift my face while I was in pain. So, she grabbed handful of my hair and pull it so she can see my bruise.

I slightly chuckled at her actions, and she realized what she did and how close we were at that time. I was on the sitting bench, and she was standing just Infront of me.

She parted her lips as she can sense it too and move away with the ice pack. Then she hits me with that ice pact on my head.

" Annoying. " She gave me a side eye and I laugh out loud not able to control it anymore.

Suddenly, a sound came, a reminder, an alarm sound, my alarm sound.

I woke up and off the alarm. The flashbacks and nightmares are a part of my life since...... I lost her.

I took a cold shower as it freshens me up good and dressed formally for the meeting. I wore a shiny black suit and set my hair perfectly.

As I descended the stairs, I saw Maa serving my breakfast. I hugged her from back and greeted her good morning with a sweet smile. She is the only one left in this house and in my life.

My secretary was waiting for me beside the car with a serious look. That's a good sign.

" Good morning, Sir. " Vansh said in a professional tone and I understood his sarcasm very well still tries to go along and see for how long he can keep his professionalism.

" Morning. We have a meeting today right, Mr. Secretary? " I asked with the same intensity.

" Yes, Mr. Boss we do have it and it is very important so try to use those techniques which you were using for almost 6 years. " He said in a professional tone still his sarcasm was oozing out from everywhere.

He opened the door for me and bow his head down a little. Fine, I am impressed.

I got in the car and settled myself while he was sitting in the front seat beside the driver.

" They are not just any techniques; it is a way I see things and accept them. " I stated as soon as we got settled.

Driver starts the car when Vansh gave him a sign. He is my secretary and one of my biggest supporter.

" Yeah... yeah... of course, as you see the good while accepting the fact that bad exists too you still focus on good, and everyone should do it. I know all that stuff do not repeat it every other day. "

" Now I am feeling normal. " I teased him.

" I can never be professional around you for too long. " He stated in a proud tone.

" By the way that was less than 10 minutes. " I teased him more.

" You really don't want to go to the meeting safe and around. That's the case, isn't it? " He was furious by now.

" You want me to call Shikha? "

" You know what, I love you. " He turned his head towards me and gave me a tight-lipped smile.

" Aww, I love you too. " I gave that smile back to him and here is the driver driving normally as he is habituated with our teenage behaviour.

" I so much wish Aadhya was here. " He said in the tone of taking revenge.

" Don't worry, she will be soon. " I said with confidence because I know I can find her when she wants me to, and she would do that for sure.

We cracked the meeting and me, Vansh and Shikha was celebrating a little in a cafe. Vansh and Shikha are dating for 3 years now but they still fight like kittens.

" You remember, you have to attend a party tomorrow? " Shikha inquired.

" Yes, of course I do. " I said in a cheerful tone while sipping my apple juice. I don't drink.

" Good. Do take Vansh with you. " She advised and I have to agree with our HR.

" You know what? I like you. " Well, I don't drink but someone else is drunk by now.

" Yes, baby I know that. " Shikha said while keep looking at her mobile.

" And I hate him. " He is drunk.

" I like him being positive and all but putting a mask of cheerfulness and do not let see the pain you are hiding, is very very bad. " He is spilling his thoughts now.

" That's true. We are friends for a reason. " Shikha put her mobile aside and told me.

" Any news about her? " I ignored their previous topic.

" I will be the first one to inform you if I get any leads. " She assured me and I know that it's true.

" Are you challenging me? " Vansh blubbered to her.

" My deep condolences to you. " I slightly patted the back of her hands and got up to leave.

" Do not even think about this. " She yelled at me and I lifted my hands in air as I am surrendering.

" I am not taking him home again. " I said while moving backwards and collided with someone really hard.

The lights were dimly lighted, and she was having a mask on her face. I supported her by grabbing her arm at the right time, but her mobile phone dropped with a thud sound.

" I am really sorry. " I said and was going to pick her phone, but she did it before me and rushed towards the exit. I was freezed the whole time, I couldn't respond because something happened. Her fragrance, I know that very well. My mind wasn't in the stable state.

" Help me in carrying him, Ansh. " Shikha yelled at me from behind.

" I am coming, wait. " I told her without looking back and ran towards the exit to find her. I know it was her.
