The alarm was ringing but Brian was not in the mood to wake up. Suddenly, his phone too started ringing and he picked it up abruptly. He put the receiver upside down on his ear and answered.“Heelo” Brian said in sleepy voice.“What is the day today?” the person asked on the phone from the other side.“Huh!!!” Brian made a voice. He was already sleepy and he also did not understand the question.“Day Brian!!! What is today’s date?” the person on the other side of the receiver asked angrily. It was a female voice.Brian opened his eyes with great effort and checked his phone to see the date. He woke up with a jerk hurting his back lightly after seeing the date.“I am sorry!!! I am so... so sorry!!! I will be there on time I promise” Brian said while standing on his bed. He put down the receiver and then he realized he was using it in the wrong way but he had no time to think about that. He

After the formal announcement, the time was to celebrate and there was a small party afterwards. Jerika was not in the mood to go in the party.“Ma’am… what are you doing here? Don’t you think we should go?” Martin asked Jerika. He knew that Jerika was upset because of the announcement. He knew that her boss really worked hard for the job but still she was not given the prize she deserved. Martin was feeling bad for Jerika and he knew that Jerika carry her sentiments and emotions too close to her. She easily surrenders herself to her pain and to her emotion and withdraws herself from all others. Martin had worked for Jerika long enough to know her character and her weakness. Martin knew that Jerika was the only woman working in the station and that was disadvantage for her because when at work place only men are present then it becomes difficult for any woman to work fairly but Jerika was still working with everything inside her and struggling f

“The nature of this project!!!” Antoine asked to Jerika but he was more focused on people surrounding them and whispering about them. They were having nice gossip. A new Project Head fighting with the most potent colleague, what kind of message does that fight implies.“Yes!!! This is the similar project on which you were working two years back and then that accident happened and now when everything is prepared and when we just needed to launch it, you emerge as our leader” Jerika said. Antoine did practically nothing for this project and the headship was platted to him on the silver plate. It was just not right. It was completely unfair and everybody knew it but no one will say it because everyone was selfish and sycophant.“Either you are too drunk or too insane. You yourself just said that whatever happened two years ago was an accident and it was that. I mean whole world knows that so why are you trying to find the things in it which i

“You did not come to the party sir” Antoine said while taking a seat in the nearby table.“It is okay… I am enjoying myself from right here” Mr. Riley from the management said.“I did my job” Antoine said. Mr. Riley’s instructions to him were clear that firstly he needs to see if Jerika could be trusted and if not then anyhow she was needed to take out from this project. The means for removing Jerika was not important. Mr. Riley was ready to go to any length; he just cared about the ultimate result but Antoine did not want blood on his hand… not any more especially not Jerika’s. he was already guilty of killing his one friend… he did not know what he will do with other but he hoped for one thing that a day will come when Jerika and he will mend their differences and go back normal. It was a hope… a false hope because that was the only thing Antoine could do.“Oh… yes…

Jerika grabbed a glass and pour herself a drink. She put on some nice music and sat on floor in front of her couch resting her lead on it. She was reflecting on past two years and way before than that when she heard her door bell ringing. She avoided looking at it. She decided to ignore it. Whoever must be, the person will go away itself. Jerika was in no mood to entertain anyone right now but the door bell kept ringing. The only thing which was irritating Jerika was the fact that the continuous ringing was spoiling the atmosphere and the soft nice music Jerika played but still she did not get up to look at the person who was on the door because she had a hunch who it could be. If she was thinking the right person ringing the door then she must not open the door at all, even to make him go way because that will be a difficult task.The man did not stop there. The man was adamant in talking and meeting with Jerika and he knew how to pursue her to talk. The man went around the
