Adhira

"Ms. Mehta, what happened to your hand? " I heard the person ask and that's when I realized it was Ritvik sir who entered.

It immediately made me conscious about our current position as his one hand was wrapped around my waist and the other was holding my burned hand.

"Good afternoon sir. " I wished awkwardly, which made him realise the situation and he left me immediately.

"What happened to your hand? " He asked me again.

"Sir actually I spilled boiling milk on it in the morning and then I was writing with it for an hour in the meeting. " I said as I could not come up with an excuse.

"Are you crazy? It's starting to form blisters, did you not treat it? " Sir asked and it really looked like he was the one having the blisters.

"I'm fine sir. I was just going to get ice for the cafeteria to apply on it. " I informed.

"Ms. Mehta, see it, it's forming blisters. Do you think ice is going to do anything? " He questioned and before I could answer he held my hand and took me to his cabin.

"You sit here, I'll go and get the first aid. " He said as he left my hand when we were near the couch in his cabin.

Within a minute he came back with the Anti burn cream.

"It's fine. You give it to me. I'll apply it. " I said, clearly not wanting any more closeness.

"No. I don't think you know how to take care of yourself, seeing that you were applying ice on blisters. " He said and held my hand to apply the cream.

"You should've told me in the morning itself about this. I could've asked a writer to sit with us in the meeting. " Sir said as he started applying the cream very softly but it burned.

A hiss escaped my lips and he looked at me before lightly blowing while applying the cream.

"I would've told you but then it might have reduced my chances of becoming permanent. " I said casually.

"But why? You are a permanent. " He said nonchalantly and i looked at him with surprise.

"Excuse me, what? " I asked with surprise.

"What part of you are a permanent you don't understand? " He asked with confused expression.

"No... I mean, I understood that. I meant to ask, since when am I permanent? " I asked.

"I didn't tell you about it? " He questioned.

"No... "

"Oh! Extremely sorry, I forgot it in all the stress about the meeting. Congrats, Ms. Mehta you are my permanent personal assistant. " He said with a smile and I was numb for a second.

I didn't comprehend it at first but as soon as I did, a smile came on my face.
"Thank you so much sir. I won't ever let you regret your decision. " I said with happiness.

"Also, since it caused you a lot of trouble and pain, I will ask the accounts department to give you your salary check in advance. " He informed.

"Really? Thank you! But can you ask to give me salary in cash? " I asked.

"Why? "

"Actually my house owner doesn't really have a bank account, so I need to give her cash. If I get a check then I have to go to bank, deposit it---" I said but he cut me off.

"Ok fine. I'll tell the accounts department for it. " He said.

"Thank you sir. I will go and work now. " I said getting up.

"Sure." He said.

I sat in my cabin, working when a worker came in with a envelope.
He gave it to me and went away.

I opened it to find my salary in it.
It really made me happy that I actually wanted to jump in excitement but didn't, realizing the place.

After completing the work and finally putting all the points of the meeting together, I went to his cabin.

"Good evening sir." I wished.

"Good evening Ms. Mehta." He wished back.

"Sir, here is the file for the meeting." I said forwarding it.

"Thank you. Did you receive your salary? " He asked.

"Yes sir. Thank you." I said.

"You can go home now." He told me.

"Why? It's still 4 o'clock. " I said looking at my watch.

"I know. But your hand needs some rest. Go home for now. " He said with what I think is concern, but I don't really know.

"Ok sir. " I said and went.

It is really awesome to leave for home early.
And since I have money now, I can finally get myself a smartphone and call my parents to tell them that I'm actually successful.

I don't really think that they would care, but I guess they might be happy.

I went to a phone store and brought a smart phone for myself.
Its not as much smart, considering I don't know how to use them, but it's up to date.
I guess, I'll be fine.

I then went home and sat down, deciding whether to or not to call my parents.
I don't think I should, but I want to.

I took a deep breath before ringing the phone.
At the last ring, mom picked up.

"Hello. Who is it? " She asked as soon as she picked up.

"Hello... Mumma... " I whispered. I wanted to say it loud, but couldn't as my throat was getting heavy.

"Who is it?" She asked again.

"Hello, Mumma. It's me Adhira. " I said as I gathered my voice back.

"For what have you called now. Aren't you happy with the amount of embarrassment you brought on us? " She yelled and i was startled for a second.

"Mumma. I called to tell you that I finally have a job now. I'm successful. " I said with a smile.

"So what? Go to hell with that. You father has already did your last rites, you are dead for us. " She literally announced and I felt tears running down my eyes.

"Who is it?" I heard a voice behind mom, which I know belongs to my dad.

"Pappa. It's me Adhira. Pappa, tell me mom is lying. You love me, right? I'm even successful now. " I said, unable to believe what my mother said previously.

"She's not lying. You are dead to me and don't ever call back. "

"Papp---" Before I could say anything the call was already hung up.

What do they mean by that?
They can't do that to me.

I'm so stupid!!

I was unable to believe, to comprehend anything. I was only feeling one thing in my veins and it was pain.

I was not able to stop it at all. I screamed, I scratched my head, my arms but nothing was helping.

At last I finally hugged a pillow, and cried my heart loud and before I could realize it, I had passed out.
