I look at the tall and dark silhouette.
"Please don't do it, please don't" I wispered as I try to breath but my body hurts a lot 'why there is so much blood?'.
"You deserve a painful death" said a dangerous and familier voice and the next and the la...
During the course of next few days I tried to spend as much time as possible with shanaaya and also tried to maintain my friendship with Akash through text messages. I was not used to care about my classmates or friends during the school time and looking back at those days sometimes it gave a sence of liberty. I didn't need to care about anyone except for my homework, exams and myself but I realised that not having friends also have its cons. Every relationship requires some efforts and loyalty and that was why I couldn't choose only one between them. That was the reason why I came to the restaurant which was near my office for having some junk food with Shanaya and while Shanaya was placing the order for both of us I texted Akash to have dinner together at 9p.m.
"Hey don't look back just now but there is a handsome guy in white t-shirt just your 8 O'clock" Shanaya suddenly wishpered excitedly.
I rolled my eyes at her and looked back just then looking for guy in white shirt.
"You stupid idiot I told you to wait, stupid.. stupid...." She huffed.
To annoy her I pointed my finger in the guy's direction and asked a bit loudly " that's the guy you find attractive".
As I turned towards her she shushed me and widened her eyes giving me a warning. I Chuckled and turned towards the direction of the guy and found him frowning at as. My eyes widened and I turned back hurriedly sticking my tongue out in embarrassment. "He he" I smiled cheekily at Shanaya to which she rolled her eyes but then a chuckle escaped her lips and we both started to laugh silently.
"Guess I failed" I said while chuckling. "Nahh you improved" she replied shaking her head. "Huh"? "Initially when I used to tell you about any guy your only reaction was to roll your eyes, so basically you improved, you even tried to embarrass me" she shook her head. " The experiences I have had with boys are either of verbally fighting with them or complaining about them to my teachers" I shrugged. " You are not a girl any more you are a woman" she said seductively and flicked her hair. I looked around making sure that nobody has seen her doing that in public. " What are you doing. I don't know about me but you surely are a woman and if a woman behaves like that then I am cool being a girl" " prrr!! Such a nerd". " Thank you" I faked a big smile. After finishing my meal I sat back on my chair " oh god my stomach is about to explode. Why are you looking at your phone so seriously?" I asked. She looked up with wide eyes and then smiled slightly " nothing just tracking my online order". "Oh" she is weird. "Let's go my lunch hour is over". Shanaya pouted after listening to me. 'Wait here I will pay" I started to stand up but she stopped me and went towards the cash counter. "This not cool Miss.... I have to take appointment for even having lunch with you" she complained as we started to walk towards my office building. " Yeah... but you know my problem I have to do well in this internship, I can't always have lunch outside the company's premises it's not ethical". " So how's it going out there" she asked. "Its nice... I can actually apply my theoretical knowledge somewhere but in practical it's a lot different than what we learn at..." " .....How's your boss" she interrupted. " I don't know I guess he is fine..... Actually I don't get to meet him or see him that often so..." I shrugged. " I mean clearly you have been working there for 6 months" she raised her eyebrows. " Yeah but his cabin is on the other side of the floor, its not like I go inside his cabin whenever I want even if we met before at falak's birthday we are not friends." "Really I didn't know that" she said in a low voice to which I frowned at her. " Why do u ask?" Curiosity started to build up inside me. " Can't I ask about him, he is my friend duhhhh". She rolled her eyes at me. " Oh." " Yeah... Even though my father runs a company I didn't realise that there are such ethical codes in corporate sector" she said diverting the conversation to the earlier topic. " Then come out of your novels. Its not like how they describe a corporate life in there, it's more logical, practical and ethical". I smirked at her.

Shanaya gave me a bewildered look as we stopped outside the company " oh no!". "What? " I turned towards her. " That means there is no chance of secret office sex" she asked while shaking me by my shoulders. "Eesh Shanaya!" I made a face at her literally feeling akward. " You really are a woman... a pervert woman, go back to your novels" I shook my head. She started to laugh at me but then her phone started to ring, as she looked at the caller's name her expression became serious and she hurriedly started to back away. " Bye I will go now see you later". " Bye" I waved at her with a smile not feeling anything unusual because her perverted sentence was still running around my mind. As I worked on my computer I glanced towards advocate Shruti Bansal who was entering the cabin of Head of Legal Department Mr. Kaishav Desai and my mind went to the shanaya's earlier comment. Damn Shanaya you pervert now I can't erase that thing from my mind.
Just when I was about to glance toward my computer I saw my boss entering the office. I followed him with my eyes until he entered his cabin then suddenly realised where I was and checked out my surroundings in case someone caught me doing that. " Stupid shanaaya always check out the guys and keeps on dragging me into it." I muttered to myself. "Huh?" Mrs. Kalpana shetty "The Assistant" with whom I share my cubical turned towards me with a frown. " Nothing" I smiled nervously and turned towards my computer feeling embarrassed.
