I woke up when car stopped in front of house. I looked house through window but I didn't want to go inside. I was playing with the hem of my clothes. I heard his voice, "Mita, now it's time to go." I didn't say anything. I was not ready to face anyone now. When I didn't move an inch, he continued, "it may be difficult but you have to do it. And please don't mess anything. Let's see what I can do."

I nodded. "Good night and sorry for making you trouble." I sighed at last.

He smiled, "good night."

I tried to smile and came out from the car. I went inside with hesitation. Sameera was waiting for me in the hall. As she saw me, she ran towards me and hugged, "are you alright? What did doctor say? Is something serious?"

I knew it was not her fault that's why I was feeling guilty for her. I wanted to say her sorry but I said, "I am fine now. Nothing is serious. Doctor said that I should need rest." She nodded.

I smiled and said, "good night and sweet dreams."

She replied with smile, "you too. And have rest."

I nodded and started to take steps towards room. I was not ready to face him but I had to. I closed my eyes and tried to collect my all courage. I inhaled deep breath and opened the door. I looked at him. He was sleeping. I was feeling guilty for him then my mind scolded me. 'Why are you feeling guilty for him? He doesn't deserve it. But he is always nice to me. But you suffered a lot because of him. don't think so much.' I sighed and went towards wardrobe where my clothes were. I took my nightwear and went to bathroom quietly. I didn't want him to wake up. I took my time to think more and prepare myself in bathroom. I came out and switched off the light. I laid other side of bed as much as far from him. It was already 2 am. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep. But I couldn't sleep in bed with him. 'What happened to you? In evening, he was everything to me and now, I hate him most. It's right your life can change within some seconds. And it happened to me.' But now I couldn't share bed with him. After few minutes, I turned quietly towards him and saw him. He was sleeping peacefully. I sat up because I couldn't sleep. I took my blanket and pillow carefully and put on the couch. I laid on the couch. I hoped I might sleep on it. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep. I didn't know when I slept.

They were beating him and he was screaming. His blood was dropping down. He was in pain. And I was shaking with fear. I wanted to stop them but I couldn't. At last, they killed him by knife. I was hiding but they looked me.

I was running on the road and they were following. I fall by the stone on road. They came to near me. And looked at me. He took out his knife with laughing. Everyone was laughing on me. I was scared. Before they killed me, I woke up.

I looked my surroundings. I was sweating and breathing heavily. I relaxed when I saw that I was in the room. The sun was started to shine. The sun light was dim. I looked at wall clock. It was 6 am. I wanted to sleep but it was uncomfortable to sleep on couch. I looked at him. He was sleeping. I wanted to lay on bed to some relax but I dropped the idea and sat up.

I took my clothes from wardrobe and went to bathroom quietly. I did my daily routine and took time to taking bath. I didn't want to face him and her. It's better if I went to office before they woke up. It's great idea.

I opened the bathroom door and looked outside. His eyes were closed. I came out quietly and started to comb my hair. When I finished, I saw him standing behind me through mirror. He smiled and hugged me by back, "good morning, why didn't you wake me up?"

I tried to smile but I failed, "you were sleeping that's why I thought you were tired because of work."

"Are you alright now?" He asked and I nodded.

"Where are you going so early morning?" He asked with raising his eyebrows. I looked at him through mirror and told a lie, "I have to work to finish."

He hugged me tightly, "let's skip office today. I want to spend time with you."

I tried to free myself from his grip but I failed, "I can't. I have to finish work."

He sighed, "how many times have I told you that you don't need to do work? There are a lot of employees into company. Anybody can do your work." I put my hands on his hands and pushed away. He got it and left me. I turned towards him, "I don't want it. I am going now." Before he said anything, I came out from the room. I took a deep breath with putting my hand on my heart. If I stayed longer there, I melt into his arms.

When I came to hall, I looked sleeping sameera. She came out from her room just now. I can say to see her posture. She looked at me and asked, "good morning, where are you going so early morning?" They are really siblings.... No any doubt.

I smiled, "good morning, I am going office to do my pending work. Now bye..."

"But what about your breakfast?" She asked with concern.

"I will take in office." I left the house. I was walking slowly on the road because there was no use to go early in the office. Then I came to bus stop and waited for bus. I took bus. After doing every work in slow mode, I reached one hour early in the office. It is the disadvantage to getting up early.

I sighed and looked surroundings. I sat on my seat and thought what to do. I didn't sleep that's why I decided to sleep because of tiredness I slept. I woke up when I heard some noises. They were my colleagues. They looked at me and greeted, "hello"

I smiled, "hello".

Rohini asked, "where did you go last night?"

I lied, "I was tired that's why I left first. I am so sorry not to tell you."

Deep said, "it's ok."

Tanya asked, "what are you doing here so early?"

"Actually, I came 5 minutes ago." I gave them fake smile. They nodded and we started to do work.

Kavish also came on time. When he looked me fine, he gave me smile. I gave him smile.

I didn't know when I spend my time in office.

It's the advantage of office because you get positive energy to talking your colleagues. You forget your all worries because of work pressure.

Thank God! Karan didn't join us at lunch. Kavish asked me with worry, "did you say something to him?"

I shook my head with no. I couldn't tell him that Karan was anger because of my behavior. But I was satisfied that he got the hint. Kavish asked again, "then why didn't he come for lunch?"

I shrugged my shoulders and gave him fake smile, "He may be busy. Now eat." I knew he was not satisfied with my answer but he didn't say anything.

After the working hours, I didn't want to go. My all colleagues went but I was working on the office.

After two hours, kavish came out from his cabin and looked the wall clock, "you didn't go till now."

"I am busy in work."

He sighed and sat next to my chair, "You are really stubborn."

I smiled and looked at him, "I need time to think. I can't accept it easily. Actually, I don't know what I want. Please give me some time to consider."

"Ok... Fine...... What about dinner? It's dinner time. Do you want order something?"

I nodded and he ordered two thali.

We were eating into his office. He asked with wondering, "she didn't call you till yet?"

"Actually, I send her message that I have work. I will be late."

"I heard you came early in the office."

I shook my head with amusement. "I don't know how gossips spread so fast in the offices."

He laughed, "so tell me about your last company."

"There is nothing interesting to tell you. My last company is nothing in front of this company. It was my dream to work in like this company. But I know I don't have ability and power. But I can tell you one thing for sure. There are gossips spread fastly than this company. If it happened ten minutes ago, all staff knew about it." I told him with laughing.

"So tell me why didn't you want that everyone knew about your relationship with karan." He asked with amusement.

"It's complicated. But we have more time that's why I explain. The main reason is rumor. I saw peoples make the fun of colleagues' relationship behind them. I don't like it. I tell you about my one colleague named Nimmi. She had crush a guy, mahesh in our company. She only told her best friend pooja. They do every work together. Even they were famous as Karan- Arjun in our company. But I don't know what happened. Pooja told everyone in the company. Because mahesh doesn't like her. He likes someone else. And she felt embrassed in front of everyone because of Pooja. Everyone made fun of her everytime. It became to timepass topic in our company. I wanted to slap pooja and ofcourse Mahesh also. But it was not my concern that's why I let it go."

He chuckled, "I understand you wanted to slap pooja because she deceived her friend. But I don't understand. Why do you want to slap mahesh?"

I sighed, "Because he could say that he likes her in front of everyone from saving her get to embrassed. Even, he didn't need to tell other girl his feeling in front of her."

He asked with confusion, "who was other girl?"

I hit myself into my mind. Why I said it. I tried to change the subject, "does it matter? I want to tell you that's why I don't want everyone knows about our relationship. Got it?"

"got it. But I didn't get it that why do you want to slap him." I knew he was teasing me.

"Because that girl was me." I told him in one tone.

He laughed, "You are unbelievable. You should be feel proud that he rejected other girl for you."

"Do you think I am stupid? He did it because he knew I would reject. He only did it to show her. He is flirting guy of the company. He can flirt even an aunty. Do you think I would be serious for a guy like that?" I told him truly.

"Then how can you be serious for karan?" He asked.

"It's a different matter." I made my face.

"You told me that you were rejected by many guys for marriage. I could understand that he is first guy who approached you. But it's not like that. Now you told me about that guy. It means many guys approached you but you didn't give them any attention. Reject for marriage is dependent on many factors in our india. and I can tell surely any guy likes to spend time with you. But why did you fall for him?"

"Because of my bad luck." I said rudely.

He chuckled, "but I don't think so."

I asked him with irritation, "Can we talk something else?"

He nodded. I told him about myself and my past life.

He dropped me because it was too late. I came out from his car, "good night.... See you tomorrow."

"Good night.... He teased me, "I think I became your driver."

I chuckled, "but I don't think so."

When I entered into house, they were sleeping.

Now, it's my routine to go early and come at late. Sameera asked me many questions but Karan didn't say anything. Kavish told me that he had some business matters to solve. It was good for me. I went to office even weekend. Kavish had to come because of me. I was sorry towards him because he was suffering because of me. I told him many times, "it's ok. I will handle myself." But he always smiled.

After a week later, when I came back home, she was waiting for me into the hall. I looked at her and asked with wondering, "why are you waking so late?"

"I have to talk you." She told me.

"Can we talk later? I am so tired." I streched my body in laziness.

She said, "Now... Let's go in my room."

I nodded and followed her. When we entered, she locked the door from inside. She sat on the bed and told me to sit. I sat in front of her and waited to her to say.

She took a deep breath, "Natasha, tell me what happened between both of you? Do you think I am stupid? I don't understand anything. Tell me if both of you fought. Tell me if he said something wrong or do something wrong. Believe me I will be your side."

I tried to smile but failed, "nothing happened. Everything is fine."

She said with frustration, "I asked him. He also said it..... Okay both of you don't want to tell me. It's ok. But solve your problems soon. Got it?"

I nodded and smiled, "got it."

"But you also avoiding me because of it."

I hugged her and said, "I am sorry." She hugged me back and said, "it's ok."

I smiled and asked her, "let's go shopping tomorrow. What do you say?"

She chuckled and agreed.
