Sometimes we need someone to simply be there not to fix anything or do anything in particular, but just to let us feel we are supported and cared about 💕

Sunshine orphanage

Sara was getting ready in hurry and Riya saw her making hurry with frown.

"Sara what happened? still time is there for your office. Why are you making hurry?" Riya asked her while standing infront washroom door who just came out after having bath.

"Riya, today I have to submit designs report file which Ragini has given yesterday otherwise boss will fire us. I heard he can't tolerate if anyone does not work on time and he needs perfection so I have to leave office early as I need to finish some remaining work in office system" Sara said while stuffing her things in bag and put her glass and moved towards door.

"Sara breakfast" Riya shouted from behind

"I will have in office" Saying this she disappear from Riya's sight.

"This girl will never change" Riya let out suffering sign and went to get ready for her office.

Sara got bus and hurriedly came to office and it's still 8 am as all will come at 9 am. She looked for anyone because she got scare by seeing her herself alone and but let out relief sign by seeing security guards and some other employees who were coming inside the gate.
She took a deep breathe and entered inside the office after biometric. She hurriedly went to desk and open the system and started to do her remaining work.

Sanskar entered office with security behind him as he always present before anyone. Today he got little late because of Aashi and he moved inside with fast steps followed by Atul and Alex because he needed to finalise the that hospital building project so he needed to check, everything would be perfect or not because he couldn't believe anyone in his work.

He entered inside his private elevator and Alex pressed the button of 20 th floor. But suddenly elevator got stopped in the 18 th floor making Sanskar confuse while making thud sound.

Alex tried to press but it showed red button.

"Sir, we need to check, it is not working" Alex said and Sanskar got super angry by seeing this carelessness of staff as he already in hurry for office now this one. He came out from the elevator along with Atul and Alex.

"Security" Sanskar shouted loudly and all flinched from their place whoever were present there by listening loud shout floor security came running towards Sanskar.

"What the hell! What are you all doing ? Can't you see this?" He shouted pointing towards elevator which was showing out of service. All got scared by seeing his red angry face.

"Sir, I called technician, e will be here in sometime" Security said with stammering because of fear.

"I need, it's to be get ready in 30 minutes then ready to loose your job" He said dangerously on which security nodded his head in yes in afraid of loosing job.
He started to move towards stairs followed by Atul and Alex but stopped in his track and looked back at all employees who were watching this scene with so much interest as like some drama was going to happen.

Sanskar got angry "What are you seeing all? Is there any drama is going on?" He asked dangerously with angry face. "Get back to your work " He said in his bossy tone angrily. All ran from there quickly to save their job.

Sanskar frustratedly moved towards stairs with angry face as he was already getting late. Atul and Alex both were following him silent because they know their boss, if they uttered one world he would burst out on them. He started to go towards stairs.

"Sanskar"

He stopped abruptly making Atul and Alex leaving in confusion. His legs stopped automatically by hearing voice making his heart beat fast. He put his right hand on his heart as he could hear his heart beat sound which was beating with racd making Lub dub. He felt someone's presence around him and calling him repeatedly by his name which he was feeling repeatedly in recent days. He turned around to look as someone was here but didn't see anyone except Atul and Alex who were looking their boss with confused face.

"Swara"

Sara who was working in her system as her hands stopped automatically by feeling someone's voice and calling her. Her heart started to beat with fast rate and he put her hands on her left chest to calm her racing heart beat but each second it kept increasing by feeling someone's presence around her. She looked around to find something or say someone but didn't because non transparent glass was standing making barrier between them to see each other but their hearts could feel each other presence unknown to them as both souls were standing on toe to get together.

"Sir" Atul called him not moving  for a long time to bring out from his thoughts.

"Ha" Sanskar came into sense.

Sanskar composed himself after giving last glance to that glass wall and moved towards his cabin with attitude while putting his glass.

Sara drank half bottle water to calm her heart beat.

"God! What was that? why I am feeling something unknown like someone's presence which I never felt this before. For the time when I entered this office, I am feeling this kind of same feeling like my heart wants to say something to me and someone is calling me" she sat keeping her hands on table and palm on her right cheek while thinking about that. She came into sense by some disturbance.

"Sara you are becoming mad by thinking all this nonsense. Focus on your work first" she shrugged her thoughts and indulged in her work.

Meanwhile Ragini entered in the office, she was going towards her cabin as her eyes caught Sara who was deeply involved in work without caring about surrounding.

"Hi Sara" Ragini stood beside her with bright smile. By listening Ragini's voice Sara removed her eyes from system and lifted her head to see smiling face of Ragini in return she gave million dollar smile to the one whom she could trust and got an guardian angel in the form of friend in this office.

"Hi Ragini" Sara said with smile.

"You came early today?" Ragini asked her by seeing her with raised eyebrow.

"Ha woh, yesterday designs file I need to complete so came early. I am almost done, just finishing work left" Sara said while showing file. Ragini got surprised to see her hard work. She completed all work in one day. Ragini got impressed by seeing her work. "One day she will become greate architecture definitely" Ragini thought in her mind with proud smile.

"I am impressed by seeing your work. Boss also will get impress by seeing your work. Ok you finish it quickly, I need this within 12 pm" She said with smile and moved towards her cabin.

Sanskar was working in cabin and Karan entered inside after knocking the door.

"Yes Karan" Sanskar asked without removing his eyes from Mac.

"We have completed that Hospital building project presentation and necessary things, just need to finalise the designs" Karan said keeping file infront of him.

"Call Ragini and asked her to bring designs" Sanskar said lifting his head from screen.

Karan nodded his head and called Ragini.

Ragini came inside after knocking and stood infront of Sanskar.

"Yes Sir" She said while standing infront of Sanskar.

"Where is that SR Company Hospital project design file?" he asked looking at her empty hand.

"Oh it's almost finished sir, just a minute, I will bring it" saying this she went out and came inside after 5 minutes with designs and gave it to Sanskar.

Sanskar took it and opened. He looked at them with impressed eyes and astonished by seeing each designs it was perfectly finished like what he was thinking. Small smile appeared on his lips unknowingly by seeing that designs. Karan and Ragini were seeing him with keen eyes like he wolud like or not but seeing his smile they got surprise that what made him smile but kept quite.

Sanskar looked at them "Who give finishing work to these designs?" He asked with surprised eyes with serious face but didn't show it out.

Ragini got scare for a moment by seeing his serious face as she was feeling scare for Sara "Oh! one of my junior designer who joined two days back finished all designs and also made some of changes. I just handed our designs" Ragini said with low voice.

"Who?" Sanskar asked with normal tone while looking at Ragini with questionable eyes. Karan was also looking at them with keen eyes.

"Sara" Ragini said while bowing her head.

Listening her name, Sanskar felt goosebumps in his body and body roams stood up just by listening her name and his heart urged to see her once but his hate towards girls always made him stop to see.

"Finishing is good and just finalise the presentation for tomorrow contract " He said while giving designs to Karan. He felt happy for her hard work yet surprise but not wanted to praise anyone so just said good.

"Be ready for tomorrow meeting at SR Group of Industry. We can't loose this project at any cost because if we loose this project then our company position will get down automatically. I can't afford it at any cost." Sanskar said in serious yet in warning tone.

Karan nodded his head in yes and took those design file. Both started to go out but stopped by listening Sanskar's voice.

"Ragini give little training to her. She will get more knowledge and will be able do work with us for next project"Sanskar said leaving them in surprise yet shock and both exchanged their glances.

"What?" Sanskar asked looking at them standing while seeing each other face.

"Nothing sir" Karan pressed his lips not to chuckle infront of him.

"Ok sir, I will give her extra training" Ragini said with professional smile and both went out.

Sanskar started his incomplete work.

Both came out from the Sanskar's cabin.

"Bhai, really is this our Sanskar Bhai? or someone else?" Ragini asked Karan with surprised eyes.

"I am also thinking same" He said while being in his thoughts.

"I am sure, something has happened to Bhai, that's why he is behaving weird from two days and now also. Did you see? he never ever cared about anyone abd now told to give her training that too for a girl " she said while smiling.

"Yes, you are correct! something has happened to him since two days. Let it be, this change is for good right so no need to take tension"he said while shrugging his shoulders.

"Yes, anyway I pray to God to make him like before like happy, smiling Sanskar Bhai" she said with sad face.

"Don't worry, time will change everything and someone will come to change him" he patted her cheeks and went to his cabin to prepare for final report. Ragini also moved towards her cabin with hoping for the best.

Ragini was passing by the side of Sara and she saw Sara who was sitting with closed eyes by keeping her chin on her hand and her hand was placed on table with tired face. Ragini guessed it by seeing her face as she was tired. She came towards her with worriedly.

"Sara" Sara startled by listening her voice and quickly she got up and looked at Ragini.

"Woh Mam..." She was not getting word to say in fear as she was sleeping in sitting position

"Calm down, I won't do anything, say what happened? you are looking tired?" She asked by seeing her tired, pale face and red eyes of her but it was hidden behind her glass.

"Woh just tired. I am sorry" she said while bending her head down apologitically.

Ragini found something wrong "Did you had your tiffin? She asked raising her eyebrow. She guessed it that she didn't had proper sleep and breakfast.

"Hmm" just this word came from her mouth.

"Truth only" Ragini asked while folding her hands over her chest with still eyes.

Sara looked at her and nodded no in answer.

"This girl! one day you will get killed by me surely" She mumbled herself with frustration and dragged her towards canteen.

"Ragini, what are you doing?where are you taking me?" Sara asked while literally running behind her to match her speed.

Ragini stopped and turned towards her with angry face "Keep quite and come with me" saying this she held her hand and went towards canteen. Sara kept quite by seeing her angry face and went with her like obedient child who was following his mother.

Ragini brought her to canteen of the company and she made Sara sit on one chair and went to give order as it's self service only. All looked towards them like alien who was present in canteen because Ragini never shown up in canteen and showed this much affection towards anyone and also seeing Sara was with her. Some were giving weird look to her and some just involved in their work and some were started to gossip about them. Ragini didn't pay any heed to them as it's their work to talk about others than their own self but Sara was feeling uncomfortable by feeling their gaze on her as she was not used to this kind of environment. In college also she never has seen how canteen would be as in college all used to tease her by her look and being orphan. Sometimes she got saved because of Riya and sometimes she was teased by them but kept quite as she couldn't stand by herself. They were rich people so she used to cry silently by their taunts and now she waa also feeling like same kind of surrounding around her. She clutched her veil end in her hand to calm her raving heart. Ragini came with breakfast in her hand and saw Sara who was sitting who was looking uncomfortable. Ragini looked around and gave sharp glare to them. By seeing her glare all resumed their work. Ragini sat infront of her and held her one hand in hers.

"Sara why are you fearing seeing them?" Ragini asked softly squeezing her hand to give comfort.

"Woh! I never had been such places before so" She stopped in middle what to tell further.

"So what? now you are going to see all places which you never see and teach you everything which you don't know. I will see who will stop you. I am with you now " Ragini said with smile. Sara smiled little by seeing her care.

"Now have this" Ragini said while siding food plate towards her.
Sara's eyes become wide by seeing so much food that too even she didn't know their name.

"This much" Sara said while gulping her saliva.

"Yes, of course for you only, you need to finish all this quickly and start now" Ragini said while sipping juice.

"I don't know what's all this" she said pointing towards food with sad face.

Ragini felt sad by seeing her but kept smile on her face not make her sad.

"I told you that I will show you everything right? So now start with food. I will tell you about everything which you don't know. Now this is veg sandwich...this is veg burger ....this is Venilla milk shake" she told their name which she brought for her.

Sara noted name of the food mentally but gulped by seeing so much food as she never had this much food and that too new items for her.

"Ragini, I can't have this much" she said making puffy face while pleading through eyes.
Ragini melted by seeing her pleading face.

"Ok, we will share this but you have to drink this juice" she said in warning tone. Sara nodded her in yes with light smile. Ragini smiled and both started to have. Sara was experiencing different taste of food other than orphanage food and she was feeling blessed for having Ragini as friend and guide. She didn't judge her by seeing her look like others did. She was taking care of her like father which she never experienced and teaching everything like mother and protecting like brother, loving like a sister. Her eyes filled with tears unknowingly but she quickly wiped them before Ragini sees but Ragini saw her already wiping tears.

"Why these tears?" Ragini asked raising her one eyebrow.

"Nothing just feeling blessed for having you. No one ever cared for me like this and everyone judged me by my look and status but you never cared about my look so just got emotional" Sara said while bending her head down.

Ragini felt pinch in her heart by listening her. It's true that she never experienced this because she has loving family and she also never cared about anyone except family because she knew from childhood that everyone used to come for money only so she didn't bother to make such fake friends but seeing Sara first time, her heart felt some connection with her and wanted to make her friend and accepted her as sister. She listened to her heart and later she felt that her decision was right for making her friendship. Her innocence, pure heart, attracted her.

"Don't worry, now you got elder sister to take care of you and I will never allow anyone to harm you" she said while side hugging her with possession like she was her precious thing. Sara smiled lightly.

"Ok, now get up. If boss comes to know then we will be gone" Ragini stood up with Sara while chuckling.

"Boss, will he fire us?" Sara asked with little scare while widening her eyes.

Ragini mentally hit her forehead by seeing her innocence "Yes" she started to move while chuckling and Sara ran behind her to catch her. Both headed towards their respective work.

Maheswari Mansion

At night
Sanskar was working in his Mac at sitting in study room.
Laksha entered inside after knocking door and Sanskar looked up by lifting his eyes from Mac in question because he knew that Laksha wouldn't come at this time without work that too study room.

"Anything important?" He asked shifting his eyes to again Mac

"Nothing Bhai, just going to sleep but want to ask you something before going, so came" he said while sitting opposite couch to Sanskar.

"Say"

"Hmmm Bhai....I was observing you since two days, you didn't get any nightmare or dream so asking are you ok?" Laksha asked little bit hesitantly as Sanskar's fingers stopped typing by listening him. He looked at Laksha shockingly. Yes, he didn't notice it till now and he didn't have that dream since two days. Laksha saw his shocking face.

"Bhai" Laksha called him by seeing him lost.

Hmm" Sanskar came into sense.

"Are you ok? " He asked with concern.

"Yes, I am ok" Sanskar put Mac in table and went near window and gazed outside to see full moon which was giving some kind peace to his heart.

"Don't know Lucky, from two days I am feeling some kind of weird feelings like hearing someone's voice, calling me by my name and feeling someone's presence around me. I just can't explain what was that feeling but suddenly my heart started to beat fast and later it will stops which never happened before" Sanskar turned towards him and looked at Laksha who was hearing him with surprise yet amusingly.

"Here also, you are feeling the same?" Laksha asked him.

"No, only in office. Whenever I felt like this, I looked for anyone around me but there was no one" He said with sign.

"Bhai" Laksha called him and going to say but stopped by Sanskar.

"Yes Lucky, it's true " Sanskar said because he thought he couldn't believe his words.

Laksha knew his brother never tell lie and he was the only person whom he could share anything and trust. In family no one knew about Sanskar's nightmare.

"I believe you Bhai because I know my broth" Laksha said with small smile making Sanskar feel proud of his brother who was understanding and mature at the same time.

"That's why, you were coming early from office since two days?" Laksha asked him while thinking.

"Yes, I couldn't give concentration on my work for the first time in my life .. I couldn't figure out it why?" Sanskar said with blank face...

"From when were you feeling like this?" He asked putting his hand on his shoulder.

"When I was taking meeting two days back, suddenly my heart started to beat with race like I felt someone's presence near me and don't know what was happening with me?" He said with sign.

"Bhai cool! then next time?
He asked with curious tone.

"Next time, when I was in conference room and third time, today morning when I was going through stairs as I stopped in 4 th floor and my heart started to beat like earlier but I couldn't find anyone there" He stopped after telling him whole story of two days and he took deep breath and moved towards couch.

"Bhai, why don't you check once in that floor?" He asked while coming behind him in return he got sharp glare from Laksha.

"It's nothing like that Bhai. If you check there, you can find something so asked" he stopped seeing him.

"Lucky don't.....you know right" he said with unbelievable tone.

Laksha didn't try to say him further as he knew his brother couldn't hear anything if he decides once then his decision was final.

"Ok Bhai, take care...good night" Laksha said with smile.

"Good night lucky" he said with light smile.
Laksha went out from study room.

Sanskar sat while leaning his back on couch and closed his eyes "Yes, Lucky was right. I didn't have that dream since two days why? It never missed one day since my teen age, I am getting those flashes but all were blur. Since two days I didn't get any those flashes but why? Is there any connection between those flashes and  that I am feeling someone's presence around me?" He questioned himself and he slept on couch in sitting position only being tired of thinking.
