Loving The Liar

Chapter 2

Veer had settled on the couch inside the hospital room towards my left. He insisted me to take some rest before the doctor came to check on me. But I didn't rest. My wandering thoughts were so unsettling that I couldn't rest at all.

I was more desperate to find out something about myself. Without any memories, I'd started feeling the emptiness building up inside me, which was terrible. Again and again, that nightmare was replaying in my mind and I was trying to see something I could understand or know about myself. Normally, anyone would've panicked at waking up and finding out that they can't recall anything happened right from their birth to the time they went to sleep. I would've also panicked, but I stopped myself. Because that was just a mere waste of time and energy.

The solutions that calm and collected mind provides is more important than giving in to emotions and creating a fuss.

Veer was going through some files. With his expensive clothes, his polished look, and the way he was working, the way he spoke on the call, I presumed that he was a businessman.

But, who was I?

Before I could realize it, I was already asking him this question.

"Mr Mehrotra?" I called him out.

He just hummed in response, his eyes stuck on the file he was keenly going through.

"Who was I?" I asked, hoping to get some answers.

My question stopped him from reading forward. Veer looked up, directly into my eyes. His cold gaze made me stop breathing for a moment. It wasn't the expression that I'd seen in his eyes when he'd entered the room. His face never showed any expressions except worry or a triumphant smirk after we stopped talking. But I could clearly see the warm heart behind those cold cages.

"Pardon?" He muttered, acting as if he couldn't understand what I asked.

"I asked who I was? Was I a working woman? Obviously I was (this I remembered from my nightmare). Then where was I working? What was my professio...." I kept on rambling. Maybe the stress was starting to bubble up in me.

In response to my blabbering, Veer rudely showed his hand up telling me to stop with a disinterested look on his face. This reaction offended me very much. I didn't know if I was normally an angry bird, or the frustration that I couldn't remember anything was making me feel agitated.

Frankly speaking, I was so confused about myself. To me, it was like, who the hell I was? I got up seeing a dream where I was attacked. After I got up, I met an attractive, handsome jerk who was okay-okay at the start but started to irritate me after some time without doing anything. If he didn't want to let me know anything, or tell me something that could help me out of my misery, then why was he still here? He could get lost any time.

"Aadhya, I'm very busy at this moment, I have a very important video conference. So I hope you'll not disturb me, will you?" He replied in an irritated tone.

And that tone irked me. "Oh yeah? Sorry, but I will disturb you. You just finish your conference and then see." I snapped.

Veer's jaws clenched. It was clear that he was trying to control his anger. Maybe me rebuking irked him or he has anger issues. Hell with his anger. He doesn't get to tell me what I can do cause he has no idea what I can do to him for ordering me around.

Deciding not to come in between his work, I huffed and then noticed that my fists were also clenched, as if I too had anger issues. I was sure that my frustration of not being able to recall anything was completely converted into fury. Feeling that if I stayed there for even a minute or more then I wouldn't hesitate to disrupt his video conference, which I didn't want to do because it will be acting like a bitch. So I got up from bed and searched for slippers or some footwear but there was none found.
