Are you alright Sarah?' I asked as soon as I reached her table.
She was sitting with all blank expressions like a mannequin sitting on the chair, breathing.
And as soon as she saw me I thought she'll feel more relay but she got more worried. She stood up and said.
'Emma doesn't take it anyways, we were just stuck in there, it's nothing like what you're thinking.' She said worriedly.
'He was just...he just was calming me down cause I'm..I'm afraid of darkness.' She further in one breath.
'It's alright..it's very alright, I'm not misunderstanding at all. Calm down and here drink this.' I said and handed over a bottle of water.
She drank almost all the water present in it and finally she took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a bit.
'Do you really trust me, Emma?' She asked and opened her eyes.
'Hmm. I trust you.' I said.
'But no one here trusts me, Mr. Niall doesn't trust me. His asperity shows that. What will I do now, Emma? It was the first day at this workplace and I'm already a person whose everyone is making fun of.' Said Sarah and put her face in her hands.
'I know he is austere' I said.
'But I know how to cool him down too.' I said further in a sing-song way.
'How?' She said while her face was still covered with her hands.
'Work like a Trojan girl!' I said and she looked up. I winked and smiled at her and walked away towards the corridor in the left which leads to the lift.
As I walked five to ten steps away from her desk to the left I saw Niall standing. As soon as he saw me coming, he started looking at his phone.
I walked calmly towards him and crossed my arms and asked,
'So you were eavesdropping, huh?'
He got startled cause maybe he thought that his acting was natural of showing me that he was 'Just' standing there or he thought that I'm very bad at observing people. Well, whatever the reason was, here, either of them was wrong.
'What? Are you talking to me?' He said with that face of innocence that can make anyone fool. But I was a hard person to fall for it.
'No one else is standing in this lobby I guess.' I said and he coughed.
'Why would I eavesdrop to what two women are talking.' He said.
'Oh really! But I never told you that you were eavesdropping on women's conversation.' I said.
'Did I?' I self questioned in sarcasm that automatically irritated Niall.
'Get out of my way, I have a lot of work to do not so free like you.' He said and rushed out of there and this act of his made me smile.
'Oh! Niall, you're such a cute, aren't you?' I said.

Once again, it was a boring day and I was sitting in my cabin. My whole day passes by just checking the patients and treating them and there's no joy, no adventure, and nothing interesting. Being a psychologist is such a bore.
I was thinking in meditation keeping my hands on the table while my right hand was holding up my cheek. My meditation broke when someone knocked on the door of my cabin.
'Come in please' I said.
And the door opened and a person of average height came in. Wearing a white coat that suits only him in this whole hospital. He came in holding some papers in his left hand while the other hand was on his forehead, rubbing it. His dark brown eyes on which he was wearing his round spectacles were shining as always. His dark brown hair is just as same as his beautiful eyes were a bit messy just because it was the end of the day, maybe. But he was looking beautiful just so beautiful.
'Dr. Lisa .' He said with his glorious voice.
'I think you should have a look at this...' I heard till there and then I just got lost into his eyes and all of a sudden he said.
'So, what's your opinion?'
'Huh?' I said because I didn't hear anything about what he said.
'Oh! Dr. Lisa not again. You didn't hear what I was saying, right?' He said.
Yah! it happened earlier too when I got lost into him due to his voice and his visuals. I mean I can't help myself. It's like every time he calls my name I just can't concentrate whatever he is saying. I think he knows how to hypnotize me or any woman? No, he...he's not a Playboy type person. He is a very sweet and serious one. He doesn't have enough time to go around and play with girls. He is a busy person. But the thing is, this is true that whenever he speaks I just can't hear what he says it's like I get deaf for a while and my eyes get stuck on his face. Why does this happen? I think I know.
'Dr. Lisa, Are you listening?'
I cleared my throat and said,
'I was....thinking. Yah, I was thinking, and I heard everything you said..' I said and stood up keeping both the hands on the table, palms facing to the table.
'You can hand over me all the papers and I'll handle it. Don't worry at all.' I applied for my luck.
'Really? You can?' He said.
And I was surprised that I have a brilliant mind. Wow!! Lisa. You have great luck.
'I guess not until you hand me over the papers.' I said sarcastically.
And bit my tongue cause this is the only thing which I can't help, my sarcasm. It always comes in between.
'Oh, yeah! sorry, here..here you go.' He said feeling a bit awkward and went out of the cabin.
Oh no! again, can anyone help my sarcasm.
I took a deep breath and took a glimpse at the paper.
'Hmm...let's see. Patient name, Leo Rockwell. Age, 24, and the appointment...is of the day after tomorrow. Nice! On Sunday? You don't have such great luck Lisa, though.' I said and sighed in frustration.

'Now you should go home Sarah. Everyone's gone already.' Said Emma to me when we were discussing something.
'But the work? I mean, It's still left.' I said.
'Oh don't you worry. I see you need to rest after this hectic day. I know it wasn't so nice for you. Go home, get some rest, and come tomorrow and start with a fresh morning.' She said with a sweet smile, a smile to which I wasn't able to deny...
I went home and tried to sleep but after that lift incident, I was awakened again and again by my best friend, nightmares. So, at around 1'O clock I decided to watch some telly. I sat on the sofa in the Hall with some snacks and started to watch the telly. As soon as I got into the drama I was watching a knock on my door broke my concentration. I just wondered,
Who could be here at this hour?...
‘Sorry, Ms. Margret for this inconvenience but you know I really needed to shift here. It was urgent. I hope you and the girl living here don't mind.' I said.'Don't worry dear, it's fine. And don't worry Sarah is a nice girl. She will not mind at all.' Said Ms. Margret with a warm smile.'Sarah??' I asked not knowing to whom should I call with this name.'Your new roommate. She is a nice girl she'll help you. Treat her like your elder sister.' She said and patted my back.'Thank you, Ms. Margret.' I said.'Call me Aunt darling and mention not.' She said and took me upstairs.We went up and there was Brown's door. We knocked on the door and to my astonishment, the girl living there opened the gate faster than I thought. She looked.... ugly wearing a shiny red shirt and shiny red pants, obviously paired with it. Her hair was uncombed and I guess she was eating something cause...it could be seen on her right hand and mouth.
I sat in the car before him so to avoid any circumstances in which he could scold me.He came and sat in the seat right next to me. I looked at him and he didn't even bother to look at me.'Mr. Niall, you may please sit on the backseat comfortably, why are you sitting here?' I asked him with adding all honorifics.'I'm not sure about your driving and I don't wish to die all of a sudden in the morning.' he said arrogantly.I sighed in frustration and started to drive.'This..is for you.' He said and handed over a chocolate bar to me out of the blue as we reached the destination.'A chocolate bar? But why?' I asked.'Umm..take this as an apology from my side. Emma told me yesterday that you were afraid of darkness and Jeremy was comforting you.' He said looking in front.Oh! so you finally understood, you arrogant ass.'Thanks a lot, Mr Niall .' I said wit
As I rushed to the parking lot I saw a guy laughing in a low pitch and talking to someone. As I went in I saw that guy was Jeremy and on top of that he was with a girl there, flirting. I ignored them and towards my car but as soon as I reached my car I realized that my keys were still on my desk almost 20 floors above. I had to again go up. I turned around in frustration and saw Jeremy standing close to me. In reflex, I pinched him in the stomach, though that punch was very light he acted as if I had broken his some of the bones. He was the one who approached me and not me and asked me to get into his car. Though I refused many times cause he was acting all flirty but the fact that Anna was all alone in the house made me accept his favour.This all that happened, there was not a single time when I approached him, in the lift too when I squat down and closed my eyes he came and hugged me. Just to comfort me nothing else. But why Mr Niall and everyone is blaming me. W
'Mr. Rockwell, are you listening?' I said and stood up from my desk.My cabin was like a medium-sized room with a shelf on the left full of files of my clients. There was another shelf on the right-hand side in the corner which had many books mostly about psychopathy and some books related to calm someone's mind. I mostly recommend that ones to my patients. In the middle of the room was my table, I had one chair on the wall side for me, behind my chair there was a window. A beautiful lawn could be seen from there.On my table usually, I kept a pencil stand which had many things like a knife, just to cut fruits, cause sometimes I'm on diet but it's just... sometimes. I had some pens, pencils, markers, and a blade on it too. This what my whole room looks and this whole room is my life. I studied hard just for this cabin and I'm...happy with it.But today somehow I had a bad feeling since morning like something was wrong, or maybe it was because of Sarah. She al
A few hours ago...I was back into that small room whose small bulb was flickering in the corner. I clutched into the corner with fear as someone opened the door of my room and somewhere I knew who it was. As the door opened he was there, standing. He came in with a thin wooden stick in his one hand, it was thin but strong. As he came more nearer to me the faster my heart started to beat. He finally bent down up to my level and said,'Why can't you understand dear, I'm your father.' His eyes were filled with tears that can roll down from his cheeks and get vanished in his thick beard anytime.'All you have to do is, call me father. Can't you do that much for your father, Darling?' He said and wiped his unshed tears.After spending almost a week in this house I got to know somethings about him. His daughter ran away somewhere, obviously who will live with a psychopathic father. She never came back since and he has gr
I came outside my cabin just to say bye to my friend who was going abroad for a month on a business trip. I was about to go in when the receptionist said,'Dr. Ray, there's a patient for you.' And she pointed a girl wearing a black skirt and a white shirt with a black collar.I knew who she was, cause she came earlier too.'Good morning Ms. Wilkinson, how you doing?' I said as I went towards her.'Oh! no need of formalities you can just call me Anna, Doctor .' she said and gave a bright smile.'So, how you came here today?' I asked for further.'Actually, I shifted to a new house as you said, but I guess it didn't work. I experienced it again a few days ago. So, I need your help again.' she said worriedly.'Oh! I see, so let's go in my cabin then.' I said and we started to walk towards my cabin.'I guess you haven't told about this to your housemate till now.' I asked and she nodded.Before I coul
'Where the hell is she?' He yelled.I knew that even if Sarah came now it would be no good for her, cause after all Niall's apoplexy was at its peak.'Should I call her once more?' I asked.'No need Emma, It's already too late. I guess I know what actions I have to take.' He said.It was getting scarier minute by minute cause I could his anger rising gradually. He became restless and started to walk around in the meeting room. He was even panting when he yelled and that was an alarming sign. I wondered where Sarah was and prayed that she should make it all the way here on time before The Frenchmen arrive. And suddenly someone opened the door...****I saw the time it was 12:15 pm and my heart started to rush.I called mom and told her that we'll be coming to her house, I mean my house, the mansion for lunch and she started dancing due to her overloaded happiness. Cause she, just hated th
'I think you're not capable of this job. Come tomorrow and I'll hand over your resignation letter.' I said.And suddenly it hit me, what did I just say?? I was supposed to scold her but, now that I have said it I have to go with it. I told her to leave and she started to walk out. I saw her eyes, they were filled with unshed tears which looked like pearls. I again said something in my apoplexy which I shouldn't have. I was again panting due to my anger and took hold of a chair to stand but then I saw her unstable.Suddenly my all instability vanished in thin air. I ran towards her and held her before she hit the ground. She was unconscious and I was worried. I picked her up in my arms and ran out of my room in the corridor where Emma was standing. As soon as she saw me she yelled worriedly,'Sarah?? What happened to her? What did you do? Is she alright?' She asked all in one breath.'Just help me open the door
