Unconditional Love

2. Awakening

Rohit woke up at 11 am only to fall from the couch. Aman who was just in the cabin helped him immediately.

"Are you okay Rohit?", Aman asked as Rohit was rubbing his back and his eyes feeling sleepy.

"God what time is it? Oh no-- it is 11 am, I was sleeping and that too in Sir's office", Rohit rambled once he was awake. Aman could not help but chuckle at that.

Aman passed him some water, "Calm down Rohit, Sir anyway has given you off today. He specifically told me not to disturb you", he said softly which calmed Rohit down.

"What? He went to the presentation?", Rohit asked having water.

"Yes, he left early. Why don't you get freshen up and changed? I have arranged clothes for you and the bathroom is to the left"

"But how can I?"

"It's with Sir's permission don't you worry and if u want you can also go home and take some rest, it's upto you. I will go now, I have some work", Aman said and left the cabin putting the board again of Do not Disturb, as Virat left early everyone just assumed it was Virat in the cabin as no one saw him leaving.

Rohit stretched himself and got freshened up, when he went into the bathroom which was attached to the big his apartment size office, he was just looking how perfectly every detail was-- it was so Virat.

"I am sure now that he practically lives here, don't even go home", Rohit whispered seeing the whole office for the first time since 6 months he had joined the company.

"Where is the shirt?", Rohit searched whole bathroom and there was no shirt as he was getting dressed. He came outside only to collide with someone.

He looked up and saw it was Virat who held him by his shoulders, "oh my god", he thought in his mind.

"I am so sorry", Rohit said moving back trying to cover himself with something.

Virat was surprised to see him without shirt. He could not help but shake his head at his nervousness.

"I don't-- Aman said there are clothes but-- he forgot-- to keep the shirt-- I swear I-- he said I can use-- to change", Rohit blabbered half sentences in nervousness.

And why not, he was in his boss's office standing in a corner without a shirt, he was about to fall and his boss held him. And now he was staring him with intense eyes which made him so conscious and nervous.

Virat moved to the other side, tapped the book shelf which opened to reveal extra shirts which seemed to be Virat's.

"Take any shirt you want", said Virat and moved to make coffee for himself.

"Any?", he asked again not sure if he should.

"Yes if you are not planning to stay like this in my cabin whole day and I see you are not planning to take an off day, you should really wear a shirt", said Virat focusing on preparing his coffee.

Rohit rubbed back of his neck feeling embarrassed a bit. He took a black shirt and wore it.

"Want some coffee, fresh pot-- take it so that we can discuss about the pitch further. Client has some inputs", Virat said taking his seat.

Rohit took the coffee and then sat on the chair which was infront of Virat at the opposite side of the table. Before he could ask the inputs there was knock on the door.

"Come in", Virat said, "keep it on the table there", he instructed and the person left the cabin.

"Have breakfast", Virat said marking something in the file.

Rohit turned and saw breakfast was kept on the table. He was now really overwhelmed with the care and how Virat was noticing about each and everything from last night. He didn't even remember last time who cared for him, even ever asked whether he had his meal or not.

A lone tear escaped from his eye.

Virat looked up as Rohit didn't move from his position. He saw Rohit's moist eyes, for the first time he felt something. What had happened suddenly? Did he say something wrong?

"Rohit, are you okay?", asked Virat which got Rohit out of his thoughts and he quickly wiped his tears.

"Yes Sir, it's just morning that's why the eyes are moist", Rohit said and Virat knew he was lying so he did not push further.

"Okay, have your breakfast then, we have a long day ahead. Before you ask me to join,I have had my breakfast with the client", said Virat focusing on his file again.

Rohit was surprised about how Virat knew him so well sometimes. Rohit sat on the couch having his breakfast.

"Also get your belongings which are required to work, for some days you would be working with me here from the cabin. This deal is really important and it would require about a week-- I hope u dont have any problem to work from here or you prefer outside with your friends?", Virat felt the need to ask as he wanted him to comfortable enough to work.

"No Sir, No problem", Rohit said not mentioning how he didn't have any friend outside.

"Okay Good, I will ask Aman to make a small setup here-- you can tell him your preference like whatever u need", Virat said going to the balcony to attend some call.

Rohit finished his breakfast and got his belongings in the cabin totally ignoring the looks he was getting from the employees.

He sat on the chair again for the discussion waiting for Virat to finish his call.
