I CAN'T FORGET YOU ✅

9. We meet again

Raghav's POV

After the dinner, Sia was walking with me to my car. At that moment i was so much longing for her touch, her warmth, her hugs......

I miss you Sia....I love you Sia....
These were the lines I wanted to tell her, but it's my helplessness that I can't convey my feelings to her.

When we reached my car, I sat on the driver seat and drove off by stealing a last glance at her.

After reaching home, I called Dad and talked him about the dinner and our plan. He seemed happy about the outcome.
Then I got fresh and headed for a good night sleep......I think tonight after so long , I will be able to sleep properly.

Flashback

Raghav's POV

It's been 10 days since we have arrived back to Delhi from our trip to Manali.

On that day after coming back to hotel, Sia thanked me, I met her parents and we bid our byes.
But her face is still lingering in my mind.

I resumed my work in office as there is so much pending work to be done.

At office

"Suresh, what happened to the interviews for secretary??" I asked suresh, my HR manager.
"Sir, we have notified and published about the vacancy in all the newspapers and business journals. Some candidates have applied for the post, also I have shortlisted some of them for the final round." He said
"What is last date for form submission?" I asked him.
"It's today sir, before 4.00 pm" he replied
"Okay, after today make a final list of the candidates till tomorrow evening and give them to me. I myself will take the final interview this time." I said and glared at him while saying the last line.
"Okay sir" he said and exited the cabin.

I can't trust him this time for this post. Last time when I gave him the responsibility of hiring a personal secretary for me, he selected a girl who even didn't know how to operate a computer and her English was......leave it.
(Please don't judge me about this, but these are some attributes that are necessary for this kind of post.)

After a usual hectic day, I was going back home, when I saw a girl standing near a car, she was talking on her mobile, and then I noticed, it's her.
SIA
I halted my car beside her and horned.
"Hey....Sia..." I called for her
She looked towards me and gave a confused look, then realisation dawned upon her.
"Hi Raghav." She smiled
I stepped down from the car and went near her
"We meet again..." I said giving a grin.
"Yeah...but you here??" She asked
"I live in delhi, and I think you too." I said with a smirk.
She nodded.
"Is there any problem with your car." I asked her
"Hmm.. actually my car just broke down. I am trying to reach my dad but his mobile is switched off. Also I don't know if there is any mechanic around here or not." She said
"It's okay Sia, come I'll drop you to your home." I offered her
"Uh...no Raghav. I don't want to bother you. You carry on, I will get a taxi from here." She hesitated
"Sia, this place is not safe at nights, and I can't leave a girl alone here at this time. Please understand." I said to her.
I think she is not feeling comfortable in going alone with me.
"Are you doubting my intentions??" I asked her  with an amused look.
"No no it's not like this, com'on I have spent an entire night with you alone, at least I have that much trust on you." She said with a smile
She sat in the passenger seat and we drove off to her house.

Surprisingly her house was in the same place as mine and that too in the same block.

What a coincidence!!!!

"We have been living in the same colony since so many years and have not met even once.....it's so strange na." I said to her
"Yeah....hey come inside na...mom dad will be so happy to see you." She invited me in her home.
At first I declined but on her constant urging I went with her.
She then introduced me to her parents, and they immediately remembered me.

"Beta (son), It's so good to see you again." Said her mom while offering me a glass of water.
"Raghav, so what your parents do, may be i know them." Her dad enquired
"Actually sir, my parents are no more. I was 20 when they died In a plane rash." I replied with a glint of sadness in my eyes.
"Oh..we are sorry beta." Replied her mom
I gave them a sad smile.

After some time, I took their leave.
As we were walking to my car, I asked Sia to be my friend, on which she instantly smiled. Then we exchanged our numbers and I went to my home.

Let's see where this friendship takes us.
