*Kalpana Pov*“Bye, Ma!” he mumbled, looking down and walked inside the school.“Hey! Don’t stress yourself about it, Kalpana. He will come around for sure.” Jhanvi said, placing her hand on my shoulder.“I will be on my way to work.” I mumbled, not wishing to point out my exact thoughts and fears which she understood giving me a small nod.“Thank to god we are here together. You know I am really mad at you.” Pallavi said the moment I walked passing the gate.I gave her a little glance and continued to walk with her following me. I sighed, wishing she just leave me for today when I don’t know what would I say or do or maybe I will just cry again.“You said you will call me giving me a brief about his reaction, but you didn’t.” she continued when we walked inside the elevator and I closed my eyes.“Kalpana! What happened?” she asked in a gentle tone.“I will talk to you later.” I finally replied, forcing out the words feeling relief when we reached her floor.“Okay! Just… I… I hope eve

*Kalpana Pov*“What are you going to wear tonight?” Pallavi asked when I reached the canteen for lunch.“Normal dress.” I replied shrugging.“Wear something nice nah.” She mumbled frowning.“Don’t I wear nicely everyday?” I asked, raising my eyebrow.“I mean… other than these, why don’t you try some sarees? I never saw you in one.” She replied shrugging.“I used to wear them a lot, but it’s been too many years since I bought one.” I mumbled concentrating on the food not wishing to go into the memories were I wore them when I was married.“Maybe you can buy one now.” She suggested to which I shook my head.“Come on! We never got invited to such parties before from the company and this is time for a change.” We suddenly heard Kiran’s voice and turned to see him standing behind us.“What are you doing standing behind us?” I asked him frowning.“I am trying to know all your secrets.” He replied, winking and sat beside me.“You are too noisy.” Pallavi mumbled and finished her lunch.“So, a

*Kalpana Pov*“So, what did Sudhir said?” the moment I reached the elevator I heard the question.I turned around to see Pallavi walking towards me with a smile and my smile slipped away remembering main thing which I didn’t give much thought to.“Can we talk?” I asked her gesturing the canteen to which she nodded with a frown.“Why did you shared about my issue to Mr.Girish and our boss?” I asked the moment we sat down.“Leave all of it now, Kalpana. You tell me did any change came due to yesterday’s events?” she asked smiling eagerly.“You are my friend, Pallavi. That is the only reason I shared everything with you. I never thought you would go and display it like that.” I replied leaning back.“But… but I thought it will help you.” She mumbled fidgeting with her hands.“And Mr.Girish was concerned, so I told him. I don’t know how our boss got to know.” She added to which I frowned.“Just… just don’t do this again. All these years I am trying to keep to myself and now some people ar

*Kalpana Pov*“Hello!” feeling startled to hear the voice I glanced away from Sudhir and Harsha to see Jhanvi sitting beside me on the steps.“Harsha said you will not come.” I said explaining my surprise.“Leave that aside and tell me why didn’t you locked the front door.” She inquired frowning at me.“I forgot! And every person in this area keeps an eye on every house. There is no danger.” I said, shrugging to which she rolled her eyes.“So, you talked to Pallavi?” she asked slowly.“No!” I simply replied, turning back to stare at Sudhir laughing with Harsha.“You are still angry at her?” she asked and I can hear the shock in her voice.“Kalpana?” she asked when I kept silent.“I don’t know! One time I feel silly to feel angry and the next moment I am unable to brush. And the other matter is I am ashamed of myself.” I replied honestly.“Why?” she asked, frowning.“I went over the top with my tone and words. I mean, she wanted to help me and she actually did. You don’t know how car

*Kalpana Pov*“So, black or white?” Pallavi asked the moment I sat down beside her for lunch.“Black!” I replied, sighing and leaned back feeling tired.“What? But even yesterday it was white, right?” she asked frowning at me.“I know! I just wish, it turns back to white soon. I can’t bear this black for more days.” I replied shivering with the feeling of terror.“Even I can see how stressful it is for you. I will pray it turns to white and we will have party this time.” She said patting my hand.“Okay! I actually thought of surprising you both, but your conversation made me completely forget where am I.” we heard a voice and turned to see Kiran standing with a frown.“Kiran!” I said, grinning and stood up before walking near to him with Pallavi following me.“Missed me?” he asked smirking.“Where the hell have you been?” I asked slapping his shoulder.“Well, the project made me stay back for more days than expected.” He replied and I shook my head before hugging him.“Yes! We all mi

*Manohar Pov*“Answer me!” she demanded, standing up and moved to place her fists on the table while I closed my eyes.“I will not allow you to hurt her at all. She has already been through a lot and you want to hurt her more?” she asked and at her words my eyes opened with confusion.“How exactly am I hurting her?” I asked, trying to control the anger at her words.“I don’t know what you have done, but she thinks you as her friend now. However, with this hot and cold behavior of you is nothing but making her confused.” She started explaining.“You are occupying her mind so much that she is not giving any heed to the things around her. I mean she threw the matter aside of Kiran confessing his likeness and is concentrating on how unfair you were. If this goes like this then how will she move on with her life with some good person?” she asked shaking her head.“Damn it!” I mumbled, standing up and crossed towards the window.“Why are you behaving like this?” she asked in a tired voice.

*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
