While Holding the Pain

Chapter_18

Tithy's P.O.V.

A question is eating my mind up without taking any break. "Who is Titly? Just who is she?"

In Ruhaan Sir's cabin, the name frequently remains in the air. And there is something. Something very bad about the name which makes Sir remain sad all the time. Even I found him crying over the name on the very first day of my joining. That day I didn't know what to do for that time being but this much is true that I just hated the scene.

People says "Boys don't cry. It's a girly thing."

What rubbish is this!

The problem arises from the idea that men are tough and manly, that 'boys don't cry' and it's embarrassing for them to talk about their feelings or express.

Does it make any sense? Just load of nonsense. They are human being and they can also get hurt. Isn't it a obvious thing!

While thinking like this, I returned to my cabin. Sitting on my chair, I tried to work but failed to do so. My mind turned to the new character, Shaan.

I generally don't argue with random people but today I just went on arguing with him like he was no random people. Earlier Ruhaan Sir alone was agonizing on that name Titly but today I met another person, Shaan who is also connected to that name. Just who is that girl?

I was absentmindedly turning the page of my diary but a sentence written on today's schedule made me look at my wrist watch which made me stand up immediately. I rushed to Ruhaan Sir's cabin hoping that he will be in good mood by now.

Reaching at the door of his cabin, I knocked. When he permitted, I entered into the cabin with a smiling face but the cold expression on his face and a cold word from him was enough to drive my smile far away.

Ruhaan's P.O.V.

I was thinking what should I do about Shaan when Tithy entered my cabin after knocking with a smiling face. With a cold expression I asked her, "What?" which just made her smile faded away.

She fearfully replied, "Sir, you have a meeting in an hour."

I seriously didn't want to face this, the fearful face of this girl. So making a normal expression, I again spoke up, " Alright. You may go now."

But the expression on her face didn't change and she he left my cabin immediately.

Giving the thought some rest, I grabbed a file from my table and tried to concentrate on my work for the meeting.

Shaan's P.O.V.

Returning home, I found it empty like always. I went to my room and took a warm shower and then went to bed. I was having a headache maybe because of jetlag. I took a medicine and drifted to sleep while thinking about the past times.

I woke up hearing a sound and the source of that sound was my phone. It was going on ringing and a smiling face was flashing at the screen. I looked at the clock and It was half past twelve at night.

I was feeling damn tired and didn't bother to think why she was calling me this time. I just answered the call and put the phone on my ear still lying on bed but before I could say something, she spoke up more like tried to sing a song  of  one line lyric from the other side of the phone call.
