Chapter 7
It's been a month now working for him. And in these one month he hasn't changed a bit also. He is still the same ruthless, arrogant man!! Yes, he still gives me colorful files, but not everyday like before. My Uncle and Aunty are very much impressed by him.
There's not a single day when they don't talk about him or ask about him. Even Tashu, has started talking about him. Don't know what spell he has done to everyone in my house!!! But to me he's still a hitler and will always be.
That shadow which I saw outside my window is still a mystery. Don't know who was it? Why was he standing there? All I know is that he was standing there for sure and was looking at my window only. Though I never saw anything or anyone but still I felt his gaze.
And yes, I tried asking to Sir numerous time that what was he doing in the backyard and in my room but all I got in reply was that I use my brain in all this stupid things instead of using it in the right place. Now you guys only say, what wrong have I done? I heard some kind of movement in the backyard, and I found him over there, this raise suspicion but who cares!!!
I quickly finished my work and took my wallet and went out of the office. I needed to buy myself a good strong coffee. I quickly went to Starbucks and bought myself a coffee. I still had time till my meeting starts. To clear my mind and to release the stress, I decided to walk till the office.
It's a twenty five minutes walking distance and the weather is also cool. So why take a bus, when I can happily walk. I was sipping my coffee and was observing when I felt someone behind me. I turned,but there was no one. So I ignored, and continued my walking.
As I turned back I saw a streak of black ran passed by me. Shittt...what was that? My heart was beating very fast. Was it an animal?? I calmed myself and took long deep breaths and started walking again but this time I was more cautious.
I walked for more five minutes then suddenly I again saw a shadow, it was the same shadow that I've seen that night. That shadow was standing in the middle of the lane and was looking in my direction only. The coffee felled down from my hand.
Now I was really scared, what the hell is happening here. I quickly ran back to the other lane but there again I saw that shadow, it was leaning on the wall. I shrieked and again ran from there but I bumped into someone.
"Aaaaahhhhhhhh, help me" I shouted. And by this time, I was shivering and crying.
"Hoorain, it's me Junaid. Calm down...it's me" Junaid said. And I looked up.
"Ju..ju..Junaid, there's someone" I said pointing towards my back.
"Where Hoorain? There's no one...look" he said and instantly I started nodding my head refusing to look back.
"Hoorain, trust me there's no one. Look at once. I'm here" he said and I slowly turned my head but to my surprise there was no one.
"Junaid, I'm saying the truth. I swear, I saw a shadow, it was the same shadow which I had seen a month back from my window. Please trust me" I said.
"Hoorain, Calm down. Let's go from here" he said.
"No Junaid, I'm saying the truth, I seriously saw that shadow." I said.
"Okay, but what are you doing here in this empty lane??" He asked.
"I was coming back to office, and just to avoid the crowd, I took this lane, little did I know that I'll see that thing again!!!" I said.
"Everything's fine now...you're safe. Relax!! Let's go back to office now." He said.
"Yeah. But what are you doing here?" I asked.
"Oh me, I just came here to give a file to Mr.Adam, he had left his file in the office, so Sir asked me to run and give back his file. But when I was returning, I saw you running." He said.
"Ohkaayy". I said but in reality, I wasn't convinced at all. Suddenly seeing a shadow, Junaid coming at that moment, Sir in my room and then again in the backyard. What the hell is actually going on????
We both got in the car and he started driving. I wasn't in the mood to talk to him or ask him anything. We soon reached the office and I said thank you and got out of his car straightaway running to my cabin.
I still had fifteen minutes in my hand before the meeting starts. And all I kept doing was just calming myself down. I walked out of the elevator and was about to open the door of the conference room when suddenly my boyfriend decided that he needed a hug right now, note the sarcasm. My feet slipped and I closed myself to brace myself to feel the pain, but never felt.
I slowly opened my eyes and deep blue cold eyes were staring back at me. I instantly froze but didn't missed to feel the tingles that were going through my veins. We both were staring at each other, nobody saying anything, all I wanted to do was to just run my hand through his messy hair. Wait!! What are you saying? He is my boss!!
I know very well that he's my boss, but then why I get this pull to just embrace him when he's around me. Why? I feel all emotions come alive whenever he's in front of me. Why? I want to know the reason behind his cold blue eyes. Suddenly someone cleared his throat, and he suddenly left me, making me finally hug my boyfriend!!
I landed on my bum and instantly groaned in pain. I glared at Junaid, who was now trying hard not to laugh. Sir, had long gone inside the conference room, leaving me on the floor.
"Need help??" Junaid choked while he said.
"No thanks." I said and got up. And he started laughing.
"You both look cute together" he said and I gave him my murderous look. He quickly raised up both of his hands in surrender.
"Tsk tsk tsk...won't tell anyone" he whispered and went inside, leaving me gaping at him!!!
I quickly went inside and sat at the end of the long table. As soon as I sat down, Sir, started with the presentation. I tried my best to concentrate in the meeting, but failed!! My thoughts were going back to that shadow only. Why, I'm only seeing that shadow? Is something wrong with me? Suddenly I was snapped out of my thoughts when someone kicked my leg under the table.
I immediately looked up to find Junaid pointing at my right and I turned my head toward right side of me and instantly I pulled back. He was standing right beside me, glaring at me. Why does he always have to be so close to me?? Can't he stay away? I don't even use that much expensive perfumes also which smells good!!
"Would you like to share your precious thought or imagination with all of us??" He spat bitterly.
"I'm sorry" I muttered slowly and looked down. Very much embarrassed about my behavior.
"Out now" he spoke slowly and clearly.
"Excuse me" I blurted
"You heard what I said, now do what I told" he said as he dangerously came close to me. I quickly got up my seat and went out and sighed loudly. I don't miss a single chance also to embarrass myself and it's all because of him.
I finished for today and got up to leave. I got out of the office and it was raining heavily. I sighed, it would be of no use to stand here and wait. Because all my friends, have already left and I had to do over time because of my lack of interest in the meeting. And it's already late, so I have to take a chance to see if I could get a last bus.
I started walking in the rain and was scolding myself for not listening to Aunty, when she told me to carry an umbrella. I kept on walking, trying not to wet myself much, but still I was already wet. I looked at the watch and it was already eleven thirty, and there were not many people around, might be because of the rain.
I was walking when I felt as if someone was following me and I started shaking, thinking that it might be the same shadow which I saw today in the afternoon. With lots of courage I turned back, but saw two men walking, but their gaze was fixed on me only.
Immediately my brain signaled me and I went on high alert. I started walking faster and they also started walking faster. I was now running but immediately shouted when I saw two strange men coming towards me from the front and started running to cross the road. But suddenly a black convertible BMW stopped.
I stopped on my track silently praying that no mafia people or kidnapper get out of the car and kill me here only. But, to my surprise, the window of the passenger side rolled down, exposing the face of the owner and he was none other than Sir. He was now looking at me with raised eyebrows.
"Are you going to stare at me the whole night, or will you sit?" He asked in a bored tone and I quickly looked behind my back to check if those strangers are still there or not. And there was nobody, now I was more confused!!
I kept all my confusion aside and hurriedly got inside the car. Without saying anything he started driving.
"Thank you for saving me from those strange men" I said.
"What are you talking about? There was no one there." He said...and I made an O shape. Now, something is definitely wrong with me.
"But you left the office early today, so how come you're here??" I asked but he didn't replied and I got the message that he's not interested in answering me.
