Ethereal Love

Chapter 15

POV [ shreeja ]

next morning

i woke up when the sound of alarm fell on my ears . i looked around to see where is alarm . i got up from floor but as soon as i got up the wave of pain shot in my whole body . i moaned in pain and i tried to crack my fingers but it pained more . my whole body was feeling like walking in fire . i took alarm from bedside table of other side and shut it off .

i went in washroom i turned shower on and decrease the temperature of water as my body was already burning and hot water was not helping so i lowered the temperature and showered from cold water after my morning routine . i was feeling hella tired and exhausted  .

i was not feeling like eating breakfast so i only had bread jam and took my morning tablets . and went to office . when i entered in office i met with my office colleague her name is nisha .

nisha : good morning shreeja ....

she greeted me with bright smile . i replied her with my weak smile.

shreeja : good morning ....

i sat on my place she sat on the table beside me which was her . she looked at me and again asked

nisha : shreeja if you were tired you should have take off, yesterday also you had off ....

shreeja : no nisha i took day off so many times in this two weeks i don't want more ... and also my work is pending i need to complete it before sir comes .

i said to assuring her that i am okay . she nodded her head at me .

in office i don't talk much so i don't have friends that much but i talk to every one so there is no issue too .

in morning i didn't talk to anyone i took breakfast to my bedroom mummy tried to stop me but i didn't listened to her and said to her that i will take my dinner , lunch , and breakfast in my room only .

i messaged rishi and asked about him he said after  4 days he will come back but i assured him  i am okay and he should focus on his work . i don't want him to neglect his work because of me .

it was almost evening when i looked at my watch it showed 5 :30 . i took a break from work and closed everything so i could go back home . home but it doesn't feel like its my home its just a work of cement pillars and walls . for me its not home its just a shelter where people only think of themselves. 

i wrapped my things and head out to house . in only 15 mins i reached . i parked my scooty and enter inside . papa didn't come till now as he comes at 8 pm daily . so i took my food after freshing up and went inside my room . my mother tried to talk but i ignored her . i know i am hurting them but i need time too .

after dinner i thought to work on my book and took it to work on it .

days passed quickly and it was saturday as usual i was in office but my body was weak than before . the exhaustion making me feel . though i only sit on one position but it feel like i am over working instead i have got work less than before because as per his instruction . i was taking out the prints when my vision starts to get blur but i didn't pass out . i tried to stop the machine by keeping my hand on some buttons but i couldn't. 

tears started to gather in my eyes when i heard voice from behind .

nisha : shreeja what happened .....?  why are you tapping your fingers on buttons ? it can destroy the buttons if you keep tapping on them furiously like this .

shreeja : please shut it off ...

i said in pleading voice and eager .  i heard machine getting turned off. i can hear her concern in her voice .
