Ritvik

Life is finally going fine. I've got a personal assistant who works very efficiently.
I mean, I can't find a single mistake in her work, which is nice, as I get to spend more time for betterment of the business.

And even Arth has grown really fond of her. I don't know if it's a good thing or bad.

I came out of reverie as my phone rang.
It was an unknown contact.

"Hello." I said, as I picked up the call.

"Hi, Ritvik Malhotra." The person on the other side said. Her voice sounded oddly familiar.

"Yes. May I know who are you?" I asked.

"Oh, such a shame, you don't have your wife's... Ohhh... Ex-wife's phone number." She said and I finally understood why the voice sounded familiar.

"Anyways, how are you doing?" She asked, with that fake sweet voice.

"Why have you called? Haven't you taken enough?" I asked, trying to calm down my anxiousness.

"Well, you have something of mine. Get ready, Me. Ritvik Malhotra, I'm coming back and this time, I'm going to take my son." She said and I suddenly started feeling panic through me.

"No... You can't do that." I yelled.

"See you soon, Mr. Malhotra." She said and hung up.

No....
She can't do that...

No!!!

I yelled, trying to calm down my panic.

I did everything possible, I pulled my hairs, tried to cry out, but nothing seemed to work.

Feeling myself loosing control, I bent down, and hid myself under the table.

Adhira

And I'm done!
Yes I'm done with work for today, and I still have two hours to log off.

I just need to take Sir's sign on there papers, then I can request him to send me early.
I have no idea why I'm so excited about going home though.
Maybe, I find being alone better than hearing people bitch about me.

Coming out of my thoughts, I quickly punched the folders in the file and walked towards Ritvik Sir's cabin.

I knocked on it twice, but no reply came.
I think, he might didn't hear me, so I went inside.

Looking around, I realized that indeed he is not inside.
I was about to go, when I heard someone whimpering.

I looked around and realized that the voice was coming from beneath Sir's table.

I went near it and bent down to see that Sir was sitting down and was crying.
"Sir!" I exclaimed, "What happened? Are you fine? Please come out." I said forwarding my hand for him to come out.

He stared at me for a second before he held my hand and pulled me towards him.
"Sir, what are you---" I was about to say, but stopped when I heard him.

"P... Plea.. Please... Do.. Don't..." He stuttered and it made me suddenly very confused.

He tightened his hold around me as he continued saying the same thing.
I suddenly felt him loosening his hold and that's when I realized that he had fallen unconscious.
