53: Stupid thoughts

Shardul and Samidha were having a very heated argument. A very very heated argument.

"So these are the final designs and......sir?"

Rishabh called out as Sahaj's whole concentration suddenly shifted to something on the other side of the corridor, or more in his cabin.

He turned around and looked at the two figures looking like they were shouting at each other.

Samidha was shouting at the unknown man and he was very angrily staring at her and gritting his teeth.

"We'll do this later. I'll call you afterwards."
Sahaj said putting the pen in Rishabh's hand and leaving.

Shardul was angry. He was way too angry. Sahaj could see it. His body was shaking visibly.

Shardul lifted up his index finger at her and she waved it off and shouted more at him.

"Samidha!"

Shardul yelled with his hand in air ready to slap her.
But Sahaj reached there in time and pulled Samidha into him, causing Shardul's hand to just cut the air. Samidha gasped at the sudden pull but quickly hid her face in his chest.

Peeking through Sahaj's arm, she saw Shardul's arm still in air and his eyes still red. He looked terrifying. She has never seen him this angry. Never in the past nine years. She struggled trying to get out of Sahaj's strong hold with her shaking injured body.

"I'm so- Shardul! Shardul please. I'm sorry. Don't..........."

She couldn't even apologize as Shardul was quick to leave the cabin, almost unhinging the glass door.

He was so angry that Samidha didn't dare to go after him.

She stood on the door, looking at Shardul's retreating body disappearing. Her vision was getting blurred. She had hurt him way too much. She spoke way too much.

Sahaj held her hand and turned her around.

"Are you hurt?"
He asked and she shook her head, not looking up at him.

He didn't know why but the way she was trying to hide her tears, was making him feel as if someone was ripping his gut out. He didn't even know her that good, but he knew she was the happy go lucky types, not the one to cry. And that bastard had made her cry.

Her teardrops fell to the ground as she tried to control her erratic breathing.

Lifting her chin up, he wiped her tears.

"Don't cry. He's not here now. He's a jerk."

She shook her head, wiping her tears, and removing his hands from her face.

"He's not. It's my fault."
She whispered and left, leaving him feeling a knot in his stomach.

Shardul and Samidha were close. She started taking medicines because of him and he cares so much about her. Could it be that they were dating or in love with each other or something?

It wouldn't be surprising though.
Samidha was beautiful. Way more beautiful than any other girl he has ever seen. And her eyes, he couldn't even recall how many times he had gone blank looking at them.

Her beauty wasn't the beauty that would make you fall in love on the first site, but it could make you fall more and more every time you looked at her.
And even if she looked like a donkey, she had enough personality to make anyone fall for her.

She doesn't particularly show it to him, but she was way more caring that she pretended to be. She was way more soft hearted, sentimental and considerate.
