*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
*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
