That girl-who changed my life

connection

Anjali couldn't sleep that night.She was too anxious to even cry.How could one feel guilty and exhilerated at the same time? She cursed herself for the thousanth time."Why did I not resist.?Why did I have to go close to him.I knew he was drunk!"

.She knew what happened was wrong but she whole heartedly wanted to deny it.But who was responsible? She couln't convince herself to blame Aaryan..she knew he was not that kind of a guy..she trusted him even after this.But she couldn't consider it as a chance incident.For her it was substantial enough to change the equation between them.Her heart somewhere knew that if she spent a second more with him..she would fall in love with him.. which was not desired at all.

The only solution that seemed correct was to avoid Aaryan..maintain a safe distance from him until she got her emotions under control.

She went ahead to prepare for the office.On reaching there she saw that Tia has also joined the office.At first she considered spluttering up everything before Tia,but then she acknowledged that certain things were best kept private,she needed to handle it herself before she could share it with anyone.

"Hey Tia..Why did you leave me back there last night",Anjali complained.

"I am sorry dear,but I was not feeling good Anjali,We had also asked Sir to drop you...Did he....",Tia was speaking when Anjali cut in.

"You were planning to set us up?Isn't it?",Anjali said, trying hard to conceal her fury.

"No..Actually..",Tia smiled foolishly.

"This isn't a funny anymore,Tia",Anjali knew she sounded aggressive.After a long time she was feeling this enraged.

Before Tia could respond,Anjali turned on her heels and left for her cabin.

She had so many new projects to look into.It nearly consumed half of her day.She hadn't brought any lunch nor did she feel like eating.So she continued to make out plans to sort out certain software issues and designs.

Aaryan woke up to the sound of hammering,which he realized was coming from his head.He tried opening one of his eyes and was nearly blinded by the piercing sunlight."Aah".Groaning he opened his other eye."Ouch",he was feeling like his skull would split into two.He noticed that it was already 10AM."Shit...office?".The hangover made him sick to the stomach.The last night's dinner threatened to escape through his mouth and he reached the toilet in time to throw up. "Why in the hell did I drink so much."He was feeling terrible.He pulled out his shirt,crawled up to the shower, and sat back against the tiles letting the water flow over him hoping that it would refresh him.He tried to force his mind to focus on what actually happened on the previous night.He got random flashbacks...he could only remember the dance with Anjali and Jackline calling...but what after that?He didn't know how he got back to his house."Did Anjali dropped me?".Certainly!He had the uneasy feeling that something had happened but his stupid mind wouldn't cooperate.He slid into a light green button down shirt and trousers after the bath.Feeling closer to human again,he left for office at eleven.

When he entered the office Anjali took a glance at him.He looked normal..much better than the previous night.On one hand she felt relieved that he was really okay and on the other hand she doubted if he remembered anything from when he was drunk.She hid behind the door when she saw him approaching closer and he crossed without noticing her.Few other employees followed him to his cabin.

He had a busy work day ahead,he was still in office when everyone had left.Anjali was about to leave when the peon came inside.

"Mam,CMO Sir is calling you.!"
