*Kalpana Pov*I sigh in relief when I glanced at the clock the moment I sat down. I just missed by a few minutes before being late for work.One memo is fine, but if I get another one, then I am gone of any appraisals. I cleared my head not wishing to dwell into the matter again.So what I got Memo? I mean, yeah, we had a good chat for so many days, but that doesn’t make him my friend just because I think him like that.The shrill sound of the phone made me jump out of the thoughts and I lifted it giving the introduction of the company in a polite tone.“It is me, Ms.Kalpana! Didn’t you see the light?” his voice came out as a response.I glanced down to see that the light is at the boss name. I took a deep breath, knowing well I made another mistake.“Sorry, Sir! Is there something?” I asked, hoping he will not make this into big.“Come to my cabin.” That’s all he said making me jump up from the chair.Who knows, he may have time limit for even entering the cabin? I thought and stille
*Kalpana Pov*“Good morning, Sir.” I greeted, walking inside his cabin.“Good morning, Kalpana.” He greeted back checking something in his system.Does he ever take a rest? He just keeps on working whenever I see him and always comes so early.“Are you ready?” he asked after a minute, but I just got lost in my thoughts.It’s been one week since he did those… those ‘acts’ and it feels like I just dreamed. As he is completely normal except for using my name directly.“Kalpana?” he asked, looking up and I broke out of my thoughts.“Ready for what, Sir?” I asked him frowning.“Today I have meeting.” He simply replied.“I know, Sir! I am here to give a brief of the presentation.” I mumbled gesturing the notepad.“You are coming with me, remember?” he asked and then I actually did remembered.“But…” I mumbled and immediately stopped.“I will come, Sir.” I mumbled, knowing well I can’t sit here feeling scared when it is part of my job.He already gave me so much lenience in this matter and
*Manohar Pov* “Kalpana?” I asked, turning around after reaching the house.Here I was thinking how to explain I know where she lives so easily, but all the thoughts left when I saw her sleeping peacefully.“Kalpana!” I called again, but she didn’t move an inch even when I shook her.Must be the pain medicine and all the tiredness. I got out of the car and opened the back door before leaning into it.“Just don’t get up until I get you inside.” I mumbled and moved my hands to hold her, but stopped when I realized I don’t have the house keys.I immediately looked around for her bag and found it under the seat. Any women will kill the guy if they even open the zipper, but here I am going to search it.Where is it? I thought continuing my search and finally found the keys. I let a small smile appear on my face seeing the small photo of her and her son’s as the key chain before letting it slip away.“Let’s go!” I mumbled and slowly took her in my arms before pulling her out of the
"Call her, Kalpana!" I averted my gaze away from her before adjusting Sudhir's shirt."I will call her, Jhanvi. But you all are getting late." I mumbled frowning."Until I know she will be here to take care for you, I will not leave this house." She said making me turn to stare at her."Why do I need her or anyone? You already helped me with all the things I need." I said literally whining making Sudhir chuckle at me."At least tell her you need her so that I will feel fine that she will be there when you need something. And your boss too is fine with her coming here to help you if you are worrying about her missing the work." She added and I immediately shut my mind at the way thoughts started the moment I heard his mention.What shall I consider yesterday's events as? It's all seemed to be some roller coaster and I was just sitting there folding my arms or sleeping."Kalpana!" she called tapping my shoulder."Fine! I will call her." I said taking out my mobile and called her."Kalpa
*Kalpana Pov*“Ouch!” I screamed and sat up immediately blinking my eyes.“What happened?” I heard a voice, but it seems to be very far with all the drowsiness.“My leg!” I whispered and placed my hand on my leg.“You should have placed some pillow so that it is not moved much in your sleep.” The same voice kind of scolding me.Someone is scolding me? Who is scolding me? I thought, frowning and blinked my eyes again, only to make them wide seeing the person before me adjusting my leg and a pillow.“Sir?” I called with complete shock.“What?” he asked, not even looking at me and concentrating on adjusting the pillow.“What are you doing here?” I asked making him glance at me with a frown.“I was seriously in a lot of thinking when you didn’t protest much before, but now I think I know the reason behind it.” He replied and moved away.“What?” I asked, not understanding his words and rubbed my forehead before glancing to my right only to see his laptop on the chair.“Right!” I mumbled re
*Kalpana Pov*“Time to get up.” I heard Jhanvi and turned to see her getting up from the bed and I know it is very early from her normal timings.“Sorry!” I said, turning around completely and stared at her.“Don’t say that! Anyway, you will be taking care of both of them tomorrow with them having their weekend and me enjoying the work at the hospital.” She said smiling.“Still, I wish I didn’t get hurt.” I mumbled sighing.“I too wish for that so don’t worry.” She said and walked towards the washroom.I closed my eyes, feeling sleepy, but opened them hearing the door bell. Who is it at this time? I thought moving a little to be in sitting position.“Who can be this early?” Jhanvi asked, walking out of the washroom.“I don’t know!” I mumbled and she nodded, walking out of the room.I waited for a few minutes and then she returned with a grin on her face making me frown. I questioned her with my eyes, but then she moved making me understand who it is.“What are you doing here, Sir?” I
*Manohar Pov*I tapped my finger on the table continuously and I am sure I would have made a hole in it by now if it is possible.Where is she? I thought, glancing at the door again and at my mobile. I can’t wait anymore than these two days with anticipation.Maybe she is having second thoughts! That thought came and I immediately crossed it not even wishing to think about it.Is she fine? I asked myself and glanced at the clock to see it is near to lunchtime, making me realize for hours I am sitting here just doing the tapping.“What is it Bhai? We talked only yesterday, right? I thought you would be too busy and may even forget me by now.” Pallavi rambled the moment she lifted my call.“She is not here.” I simply stated.“Oh! Maybe she is feeling tired and decided to take a rest.” She offered but I shook my head.“She didn’t message or called me.” I added.“I don’t know what to say. I wish I was there so that I can call her asking why is she not at the office but she will doubt when
*Kalpana Pov*“I thought everything is going perfectly and this disaster had to knock on your door.” Jhanvi said the moment both kids left to play in Sudhir’s room.“I was so excited today morning.” I mumbled closing my eyes.“You didn’t tell him that you like him, did you?” she asked and I shook my head still closing my eyes feeling tired with all the crying.“But why? It’s not like you are going back to that douchbag.” She said, making me chuckle at her curse.“When did you start cursing?” I asked, to which she shrugged, still having a serious expression.“It didn’t feel right when today morning I spent on thinking about the past after he visited. What if I hurt him by now moving forward and later backing away? I thought I moved on, you know, but the hurt is still there.” I explained.“How can you know whether you moved on or not unless you date other person? You didn’t even look at someone with interest except this boss of yours.” She said shaking her head.“Who said I am not datin
