THE ASSIGNMENT OF LOVE

(CHAPTER 19)

A month later, every employee of the miracle was shocked after listening to the news. Sophia came to her company and formed a meeting with her employees. Employee 1 said "mam I remembered while making the file on it the punishment was 9 month jail." Her secretary said "Mrs. Roy as per the news the chairman of hopes medical gives money for the bailing of CEO Rajesh. Sophia replied "how can they accept the money? This is illegal. Isn't it?" employee 2 said "I heard that they went to court and asked for his bailing because 9 months was too much. Sophia replied "huh? And they agreed?" The secretary said "I think they went from 9 months to 3 months to spend in jail and to make this happen they give them a good amount of money, not as bribe but as fine or punishment amount. Perhaps, the law didn't count it as illegal bailing" employee 3 said "so what should we do now?" secretary replied "if this is the actual condition then we can't do anything. Because they already gave the fine for their wrong doing" Sophia thuds on the bench and went out from the meeting room.

After a few weeks everything went back to normal. Although Sophia was a little mad with the law, she somehow managed her anger. A night Sophia was in her room, she came out from the room when she felt thirsty, and she saw rahul was sitting on the dining table, he was drinking wine alone and was looking so upset. Sophia went to him and asked "Is everything okay?" rahul looked at her and smiled softly and said "you came! I missed you" *giggled* Sophia asked "you missed me? What nonsense!" rahul said in a shivering voice "I am not saying nonsense. I mean it!" Sophia noticed that he was drunk. Sophia asked "how much wine did you swallow that you got drunk?" rahul replied "i am not drunk. I am in my senses" Sophia said "Ohh really! Then, if you are not drunk so let's talk" rahul replied "great! C'mon sit" sophia sat in front of him, took a glass of wine and said "about our divorce" rahul looked at Sophia in a miserable way. Sophia continued with her talk and said "you thought I forgot! I'll talk to Mr. Ravi tomorrow and also our parents" Sophia drank a whole glass of wine in one sip and about to leave the kitchen, she heard Rahul's sob. She stopped and turned back, and she saw rahul was standing behind her and was sobbing, she asked rahul whether he was okay or not but rahul didn't reply and he continued sobbing. He came closer to her and said "don't go!" before Sophia asked him anything, he passed out.

5 days ago, rahul was at abhay's place he was so upset. Abhay said "if you are that guilty then go and apologize why you are here?" rahul replied "if I apologize she will forgive me. But my apology won't stop her from leaving me, that is what hurts the most" Abhay said "are you being hurt? Just because your wife is going to give you divorce, don't forget you are the only one who wants it in the first place" rahul started crying "I know I made the biggest mistake of my life" Abhay said "you called your plan the biggest mistake? Wow amazing! But what makes you cry? Ohh rahul don't tell me you started regaining your feelings for Sophia. I mean I know it is kind of funny to say, but I can say it since you used to hate her" rahul replied "I never hated her. It was all my grudges towards her that made me feel that way and now all I can say is that I can't resist these feelings anymore" continue crying. Abhay said "hey! Stop crying like a baby. You can just confess her" rahul replied "but how can I? After all this behavior of mine towards her. She despises me the most. And you know what I think this is the punishment of my wrong deeds I am so guilty that I am afraid to love her, but on the other hand I can't control these feelings which I have held in my heart for 10 years. What should I do?" Abhay said "10 years ago, you were not able to confess to her. And you forget her but she was in your heart all these years and you were not aware of it. Because of your work and family pressure. But now the time is different just go ask for apology and confess her" rahul said "I don't know what to say. I am heading out. Bye!!" Abhay said nothing but feels pity for him.
