Life Ends At You

2. Should I open the diary?

Advik's POV

I kept the diary on the table still wondering if I should open it. The girl she looked so familiar. I want to know her mind. But what if it is too personal?

I guess this isn't appropriate. No, Adi no. Kya karne jaa rhe the tum. How can you be such a despo?

I kept the diary in my drawer and turned off lights. Tried my best to sleep. But her voice, her face was distracting my sleep. I sit up frustrated and run my hand through my hairs.

"Anne, I can't fall asleep." I muttered to myself.

"There are many reasons that might disturb ones' sleep...... poor diet, stress, exposure to blue light or screen late night, skipping a meal. While a reason tops the list- aashiqi." The robotic voie answered.

"Abey oh aashiq ki aullad, ek baar paani mei fek denge sara ashqi ka bhoot nikal jayega."

"I am sorry sir. I didn't mean to irritate you. May I know what's on your mind that has been disturbing you so bad."

I leaned in my bed with closed eyes and sighed.

"So listen, today I met a girl in office. She was super genius, super pretty and her voice, the smile on her face. I was enchanted. She left her diary on the table. I so want to read but at the same moment I don't want to touch such a personal and valuable thing to someone. It is getting me restless. She is occupying my mind." I ranted.

"Aashiq ki aulaad apko love at first sight hua h." Anne, my robot answered.

"Shut the fuck up. It's nothing like that. Love at first sight jaisa kuch nhi hota, it's called infatuation. And I am out of these shitty things."

"Love at first sight can be more than infatuation. Maybe you share a past? a past life? something that can't be conveyed in words."

"Anne you are delusional, and you know it, right? Good night"

I hit my head on headboard and closed my eyes.

Next morning-------------------

I was sleeping so peacefully until my phone rang.

I got up at once today. And the diary was the first thing in my mind. I need to return it before I lose my control and read it. I got ready, skipped my breakfast and headed to my office.

The receptionist gawking me as I entered. I headed to my cabin and waited for my PA.

"Sir?" The door knocked finally.

"Come in"

She entered with papers and few files in her hand.

"Sir today you have 2 meetings to discuss about the promotion of upcoming pheromone project and....." She kept on boing me for few minutes.

"This is it for today sir. We don't have much work load this week."

"Yeah I got it. By the way, Do you know some Navi here?" I asked frantically. And I realized how crazy was I to ask this only after saying it out loud. I must appear as a stalker nah. It's just my 2nd day in office and I am randomly asking about girls.
