Part 93- Unwanted Memories

Drishti was pacing outside of Rakshit's cabin, the office now mostly empty, hesitant to go inside because she had all but avoided Rakshit after the so-called black coffee incident today.

But avoiding Rakshit seemed harder than expected given that as his secretary, her job was to literally follow him around all day. Drishti finally took a deep breath building up her courage and then opened the door, walking inside.

"Uh- Rakshit sir-." Drishti began to say.

"Oh, Ms. Sood, you finally came back from making copies, I didn't know that making 10 copies took 3 hours." Rakshit said sarcastically, looking at Drishti from the chair behind his desk.

"Uh-- the printer was slow." Drishti said making up an excuse, to which Rakshit raised an eyebrow.

"I was just wondering if I could leave now, all my work is done, and--." Drishti said trailing off mid-sentence.

"Yes, you can go now, just hand me a red file that has 'events' written on it before you go, it should be in the back of the bullpen, in the filing cabinet." Rakshit said to which Drishti nodded beginning to leave the cabin.

"And, Ms. Sood don't wander off like a ghost again." Rakshit said in a serious joking way making Drishti pause by the door, as she was holding the door open.

"Okay, Sir." Drishti said with a smile, leaving the room.

'So he can make jokes.' Drishti thought to herself with a chuckle as she went to look for the file.

But Rakshit realized what he had just said with a frown on his face, as a memory came to his mind...

"I don't know where that wandering ghost could've gone." Little Sunny heard Purab say as he rubbed sleep away from his eyes, sluggishly making his way to the living room.

"Well keep looking she has to be here somewhere." Alia said as both she and Purab were checking under tables and other things.

"Alia mumma we have a ghost in this house?" Little Sunny asked confused, still half asleep, sluggishly sitting down on the sofa, making Alia chuckle.

"Yes son, we do have a ghost in this house." Purab said with a chuckle.

"A ghost named Priyanka." Alia completed with a chuckle too.

"Oh cool, let me know when you find the ghost, I want to be friends with it, just like that kid from 'bhoothnath' it'll be awesome." Little Sunny said as he lay on the couch beginning to doze off again.

"I think he might have been sleepwalking or something." Purab said with a chuckle, little Sunny still being able to hear their voices.

"Yeah you might be right, he completely forgot that Priyanka was an actual person that he has already met. You know that he took you very literally, he actually thinks we have ghosts now." Alia said with a chuckle.

"Well then he's going to be in for a shock when he wakes up, won't he?" Purab asked jokingly, both of them chuckling.

"Okay now, you continue looking for Priyanka, I'll take Sunny back to his room." Alia said with a smile, to which Purab nodded.

Little Sunny then felt himself being picked up, in a half-asleep and half-awake state, falling into a deep sleep as he laid his head on the shoulder of one of the few people who could make him feel safe and loved.

Rakshit came back to reality to realize that he was now all alone in his cabin, with a few tears falling from his eyes and a teary smile on his face as he thought about the past.
