*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

*Kalpana Pov*“Good morning, Sir.” I greeted him walking inside his cabin holding the notepad.“Good morning! How are you?” he asked, glancing up from the system.“Fine, Sir!” I replied, nodding and walked towards the coffee maker.He didn’t utter a word and I followed his before walking near to his table with the coffee.I sat down in the chair opening the notepad and waited for him to give any instructions for the day.He took a sip and stared at me before shaking his head. He took a file from the table and started giving instructions what to do with the clients in the file.“I will take care of it, Sir.” I said, nodded and stood up holding the file.“How about some coffee?” he asked making me stop from moving towards the door.“Uhmm… I don’t think it is a good idea, Sir.” I replied to which he smiled.“I will not say anything but just have some coffee. It’s not like I am preparing it for you. So it will be not inappropriate.” He suggested and I couldn’t help but walk back towards t

*Kalpana Pov*“What?” I asked stopping my hands to place the dress in the suitcase when I caught Jhanvi’s look.“You seem to be happy.” She mumbled smiling.“Yeah! I… I actually can’t believe I am smiling now when I was in tears just yesterday.” I said sitting beside her.“By now you should get used to this immediate change.” She said bumping my shoulder.“What do you mean?” I asked her frowning.“I have seen so many times already, Kalpana. Whenever you feel low, you immediately get normal and that always seems to be the work of your boss.” She replied smiling while I stared at her.“You are right.” I mumbled to which she smirked.“Now, why don’t you leave Sudhir with me and enjoy this small get away?” she asked to which I rolled my eyes.“He just offered it to make me come out of my thoughts.” I said and stood up after placing the dress.“And I am sure he has ways to do that. So, it is better if Sudhir stays back.” She said to which I frowned for a second not understanding and then t

*Kalpana Pov*I hate her! Actually, I may hate myself! I thought again and again while stirring the curry still not believing I acted like that with him.Yes! I like him and more than that I never felt so warm and comfortable for so many years. And I never felt this attraction to anyone else I met too.Or that may be because I never gave a thought also. Because I was normal with him in the beginning for sure.Is it wrong to act on attraction I am feeling? But why is it wrong? This is my life and I can live as much as I can, right?And what if it is wrong too. All the hurt I can get, I already got and now I just have to make sure Sudhir will not get hurt because the only major disaster would be both Manohar and I stopping the relationship when it starts in the first place which I may be able to handle.However, there are still some questions that need to be answered. He was weird from the beginning and I do not know anything about him except whatever I have seen with him all these mont

*Kalpana Pov*“Do you regret it?” I heard a calm voice and I turned back to see him awake lime me.“No! Do you love me?” I asked, frowning and he smiled not even looking at me before nodding.“I…” I trailed off not knowing what to say.“I can understand, Kalpana.” He said finally turning towards me.“I really like you. It’s just… just I don’t know you too much. You may think bad when I stumbled to the bed with you even though I don’t know you, but I feel I can’t fight the attraction and to top of that I really like you.” I said hoping he will not feel bad if I didn’t say the words back.“You raised my respect for you by not saying you love me, Kalpana. I know you may just say it based on attraction, but you didn’t. And I want that honesty. So that…” he trailed off and for the first time I have seen the pain in his eyes, making me place my hand over his face.“And don’t worry so much because it is my fault that you don’t know me. At the same time when I know you.” He added playing wit
