AM PM - A Forever Love Story

ch 1: 2026

Life. Life gives us so many surprises.

12th September.

My Home.

I was lying on my stomach on my bed, my feet up in the air. It was one of those days where I could pause my work loaded life to relax and watch a movie. I took a sip from my coffee and hissed at its temperature. It was so cold, how long had I left it cool down?

Just as I got up to warm the beverage in the microwave, my phone rang. Where was it? I looked around hastily, but it was nowhere to be found.

Tring tring.

I followed the sound to the kitchen. There it was.

"Hello?"

"Ma'am, the file that was to be given to Mrs. Gujral. Where-"

This was Neha, my personal assistant. A young beautiful lady, with short brown hair. Her eyes were really warm and so was her nature. Yet she would end up doing a mistake or forgetting something.

I laughed and cut her off. "You forgot where it was kept again? Don't worry, it is in my cabin. Second cupboard from the left just as you enter. Top shelf, blue file."

I heard her mutter a thank you and cut the phone.

I waited for my coffee to heat in the microwave.

In The Office.

Why am I so forgetful all the time?, Neha thought. She always feared that her Boss would fire her one day because of the repeated mistakes she made. But deep down she knew, Miss. Singh was not like that at all. She was a soft woman behind that entrepreneurial exterior she depicted.

First cupboard from the - was it left or right? Right. It was a definite right. She opened the cabinet and reached upto the top shelf. Her hand found a few files that she quickly brought out.

Setting them on the table, she found the blue one.

"There you are!" She said to herself, as she had spent almost an hour looking for them, before giving up and calling Miss. Singh.

Her smile faded and confusion plastered on her face. The file had a bright red heart pasted on it.

Neha did not know what to do. She really wanted to read what was inside, but then that would be - Ah, leave it. Who would know? It was an empty office. Just a few peons. Guards.

She hurriedly opened the file and read the first line:

Life changes unexpectedly.

Her smile widened and she flipped ahead.
