Adhira

It's been two days since I finally got to know that the only people who I cared about, have refused to even acknowledge the fact that I'm alive.

All the things that I ever did and am doing now, were only because I felt that maybe I'll finally make them proud.

To think of it, I don't really have a purpose in life right now, but I don't even want to end it.

I just have a feeling that someday they'll realise and finally be proud of me.

At least I hope so.
Or even if they don't, I'll like to be in the delusion that they will.

Maybe cause I'm just a stupid coward.
Maybe because I am afraid of actually dying.

I'm just thinking of you know quitting everything and then eventually I'll die without food and water to survive on.

But c'mon where would I die?
I can't do it at the place I'm currently leaving, cause then the blame would be on my house owner and she's very old to actually go through a police verification.

I can't do it in the office, since then Mr. Malhotra would have to go through the same thing and it would cause him and Jr. Malhotra a lot and I can't do that to them just because I'm done with life.

I finally reached the office and entered my cabin.
I've actually been more closed off in the past two days than I earlier was, so people have started assuming that I'm actually a bitch.

But never mind, I don't really care about anything at all. At this point, it's guaranteed that I'm pathetic and going to be alone for the rest of life, so let's work with it.

I sat down to work when I received a call on the telephone from Ritvik Sir.

I went to his cabin to see him in quite serious mood.

"Yes sir? " I asked.

"Ms. Mehta, are you alright? " He asked me with what I think maybe concern but I stopped myself from thinking.

"Yeah. Why? " I asked. Trying to sound as normal as possible.

"Nothing, you seem a little sad and closed off." He said with concern.

"It's nothing Sir, just a little disturbed mind." I said, shrugging my shoulders.

"Do you need a break from work? You can go and visit your family as a break. " He suggested but it stopped my breath for a second.

"N--No sir. I can't... I mean I don't want to. I'm o--orp-- orphan. " I stuttered and before I could realize I had began crying.
I didn't want him to see me this way, so I quickly turned around.

"Oh... I'm sorry. I didn't know. " He apologised.

Even I didn't know.
I thought to myself.

"No problem sir. " I said as I managed to compose myself.

"Why did you call me? " I asked trying to escape as soon as possible.

"Yeah, actually we have to attend a conference in Bangalore day after tomorrow, so book three tickets, and also the hotel. Rest I'll mail you. " He informed.

"Three? Why? " I asked with confusion.

"Yeah, three. Me, you and Arth Or Jr. Malhotra as you call him. " He said with a smile.

"Sure sir. " I replied and went back to my cabin.

I'm so glad that this conference came at this time, it might help me get over life.

I quickly searched for how to book flight tickets, and since I've never travelled from a flight, I didn't really knew how to do it.

Watching three to four YouTube tutorials, I finally managed to book tickets and sent them to Sir and also booked the hotel for us.

The day of departure

It was finally the day that we are leaving for Bangalore. I'm really excited, since it's the first time I'm going to sit on a plane.

I reached airport with my bag and was standing on the gate when Ritvik sir and Arth got down from there cab.

"Hello Adhira Auntie. " Arth said as he came near me.

"Hi Jr. Malhotra. " I said as I knelt down to his level.

He immediately threw his arms around me and I picked him up.

"You two are really fond of her. " Sir said as he came with his bags.

"Obviously. He's such a good kid. " I said.

As I was about to take my bag, he stopped me, "Wait, I'll take it. " He said politely.

"No sir. How can you? " I said trying to take the bag from him.

"Ms. Mehta, it's no problem. Anyway, he doesn't look like he wishes to get down from your arms. " He said and that's when I looked at Arth who was almost asleep.

"Ok sir. " I said and we both went inside and did all that waiting stuff.

While we were sitting in lounge, waiting for the flight, the lady sitting in front of me said, " Your son is so sweet. "

"Thank you. " I said without realising that she just referred to him as my son.

"He's not my son. He is my boss's son. " I clarified.

It just felt weirdly nice, that someone just made out a relationship between me and someone.
Now that I have no relations left, all this just feels nice.

As I was thinking about this, there was a announcement, which Ritvik Sir told me was for our flight, so I quickly got up.
By the time even Arth was awake so he walked on his own.

We then sat on our seats, it was me on the window, Arth in the middle and Sir on the end seat.
He specifically told me not to book window seat for him, I wonder why.

Anyways as we sat down Arth suddenly spoke, "I want the window seat."

"Ok, baby, let's switch seats then." I said to which he gave me a smile.

We switched our seats and that's when I saw Sir was looking at me with a smile.

"Oh, do you want to sit next to him?" I asked and he nodded a no.

I thought flight was supposed to relaxing and comforting, but I was wrong, because as soon as the flight took off, I immediately felt my heart beating faster.

I immediately closed my eyes and held onto something or someone, and remained in the same position till the flight was in the air and I felt normal again.

"Ms. Mehta, are you fine?" I heard Ritvik Sir ask and that's when I opened my eyes to look that the something that I held onto was his hand.

"Yes sir." I said and removed my hand to see that I just didn't hold his hand, I even scratched it.

"Oh god! I'm so sorry sir. It's actually my first time sitting in the flight, so..." I apologized, looking at the scratch marks.

"No problem, you know I did the same when I sat in the flight for the first time. It was my mother in that case. " He said with a smile.
