Stay Away

15- The Talk Walk

*** Flash back Continues***

Manvi pov:

       It was great talking to him. He was just amazing. I felt that what I did was the most hilarious thing ever in this whole world to him. How can I just do that to someone? My act was insensible.
The guilt feel ate me up.

    It had been 1 week since I spoke to him. But my thoughts only revoled around him. I was unable to think of anything else other than that.

The care that he had. My god!

Still hospitalised. But in an improvised state. Things were getting back to normal. I hoped that I would be back in full swing after few days of complete rest.

I very well knew that it was because of him that I was hospitalised. But I never slipped a word about that to anyone.

Because I don't want to do that.

I was not interested in again bringing up a trouble for him. Not again anymore.

It was noon. I felt so bored. I spoke to Shiv sir few minutes ago. And to my mother in the morning. I was done with everything for the day. But I still had half of the day left in my hand. My father was here with me in the hospital for the past five days and he had gone to have his lunch.
I had none to talk to.

'What will I just do now?' I asked myself and kept staring at the hospital wall. I felt like going on a walk. But that was just next to impossible considering my current state.

'Can make a call to him and talk.
Ask him to take you for a walk.'
My inner devil said.

What?
A call to Mr. Shah?
But why?
Why him?
Will he be free?
Will this create a problem?
What if a problem comes?
Why am I worried about it?

'Just make a call and talk.'

'Ok I am doing it now'. I decided and moved for my phone to dial his number. Hope that it was his number. I got it after my accident. That girl with him, I guess Akshaya  ....... gave it to me.

The dial was so long. Atlast he picked it up.

"Hello. Manvi here. Is this Mr. Shah?"

"Sorry madam. Sir is in a meeting. He won't be able to attend the call now. I will let know the information if it is so important." I heard a male voice which I knew well was not his.

"No. Nothing that important. Just let him know that I called him. May I know who is speaking?"

"I am Aravind, P.A. of Mr. Shah. Sure madam I will let him know about your call."

"Ok thanks." I replied and hung up the call. Thoughts blocked my mind.

What would I do now?
Whom do I have to spend time with? Not even one to talk?
Am I the only one free in this entire world?

Journalists are said to be the most talkative and easy going person in the world. But I was an exception to that case. I don't that easyly mingle around. I stay away from others. That was the reason that I had only very few friends. And that was the reason that I don't have anyone to talk. There was no one in this world to spend time with me.

'Will my whole life be this way? Will I not have anyone close?'

This question had popped up in my mind atleast twenty thousand times. My phone vibrated suddenly making me come to reality.
I picked up my phone and saw the name Mr. Shah.

WHAT???
DID HE JUST CALL ME?

I answered the call and waited for him to start. After a brief second of silence I heared him starting to talk.
