Chapter 4 An Accident

Tithy's P.O.V.

Returning to my cabin, I sat on my chair with the coffee in my hand. I normally take one cube of sugar but sipping the coffee with two cubes of sugar, I didn't find any difference as my mind was on other thoughts.

Who is Titly and why was Sir crying?

My questions remained unanswered. As it was my first day, I didn't know anyone in the office so I didn't have anyone to answer my question.

Giving my thoughts some rest, I tried to focus on the project which has been finalized today. I started to read the project file carefully in detail to fully understand the project which seems now quite understandable because of the previous presentation.

After some time my phone rang off with an unknown ID. I decided to attend the call, "Hello, who's this?"

There was silence for some moments on the other side.

Then I heard a rude voice. "Come to my cabin".

"What?! Who the " the call was disconnected even before me completing my words.

How rude! Who the hell is he to order me like that? And what was that?!

"Come to my cabin" what a joke !

But for some reason, the voice sounded familiar. Wait a moment. What did he say!

The sentence came into my mind instantly and I rushed to his cabin hurriedly thinking of what should I say to him now.

I not only didn't save the number but also hadn't recognized his voice. What to do! I am so dead now.

I just hope not to get fired at least not on the very first day of my job. After knocking, I entered the cabin. When I started to give my sorry speech "Sir I am really sorry. Actually, I didn't get to save your number to re "

He cut me off by giving me a file, "I want a report on the surroundings of this location regarding anything to everything. You have 4 hours. Got that?"

I was surprised as he didn't get out his anger or didn't throw any sarcastic comment on me for my mistake as he was a very short-tempered person which I understood within these few hours. Anyway, I tried to utter some words to apologize again.

"Sir, I am so "

But even before I completed one sorry word, he again cut me off. "Do you want ME to REPEAT my words?" giving on two words extreme emphasis.

"No sir, Sorry."

"Now GET going."

Without any word, I left the cabin.

When I took the elevator to the ground floor, I found some of my colleagues. Normally I get attached to people easily but as it was my first day and so I was somewhat hesitant.

When they found me staring at them, one of them asked me, "First day, right?"

On that, I just nodded. She extended her hand, "I am Neety and you?"

"Tithy. Thank you for taking the initiative to talk actually I was very hesitant."

"Getting hesitant on the very first day is normal but don't worry. You can talk to us freely."

All of them introduced themselves with a smiling face except one maybe she didn't like me but why? What did I even do?

My chain of thought got broken by Neety. "Where are you heading now?"

"For Site location details." I answered gently.

"Okay. But it's lunchtime now. Take lunch with us ad then go?"

I nodded with a smile. I enjoyed their accompany and especially liked the girl, Neety. After lunch, I went for the site location details. As I was not very much fond of traveling, it took me some time to get to the location.

Finding the location, I noted the information about the surroundings from anything to everything as I was told. Some information I collected by enquiring of some neighborhood people.

By the time my work was completed, it was almost close to my deadline. When I turned to rush for the office, I was slightly pushed off by a car which I didn't see coming to my direction.

The man hurriedly got down from the car and apologized to me. I felt little pain in my right hand but he was not at entire fault.

"It's okay uncle. Actually, it's not only your fault but is also mine. So we can call it even."

"But your hand looked injured. Come, let's go. I will take you to hospital" the man apologetically said pointing at my hand.

"No uncle. It's not necessary. I am alright and actually, I am getting late for my work." I politely reasoned refusing his offer.

Being defeated, he said "Okay. Let me drop you at your office at least."

"That will be very kind of you, uncle." Looking at the watch, I took the offer as I was running out of time.

Stepping out of the car, I thanked him and hurriedly got into the building. When I entered Ruhaan Sir's cabin, he was not there. Leaving the file on the table, I got back to my cabin.

Though at first, I felt little of a pain but by that time it was increased. Not something very bad but some bruises were visible. I took out a pain killer from my bag and gulped it with water.

Then Neety came to my cabin and asked me, "Tithy, do you know where is Ruhaan sir? I need his signature on" and stopped mid-sentence, looking at my hand, "Hey, what happened to your hand?"

After listening to me, Neety rushed out of my cabin saying, "Wait a moment.''

She brought the first aid kit and after applying some pain removal ointment, she banded the injured part of my hand.

I thanked her and she just smiled at me and said, "Be careful next time."

I nodded and she left my cabin saying, "Okay. Get some rest now. I got to go but call me if you need anything."

Ruhaan's P.O.V.

I went to get some fresh air. I was known for my rude as well as tempered behavior which was also well-known to me. But for some reason, I didn't get to behave likewise with this girl because she. No. It can't be the reason. But.

I cut off my thought forcefully. When I was about to get into the industry, I saw HIM standing in front of my building staring at it.

I was hardly holding back from fulfilling the desire to punch him badly but when I saw him smirking a devilish smile my blood just boiled up. When I was about to go to him, I saw a girl who was about to faint in front of me. When I turned, he was gone.

I went to the girl and got a hold of her before she fell on the ground. Some people gathered there. I splashed some water on her face that someone gave me there. When she gained consciousness, I offered her to get to the hospital but she strongly refused and demanded to go home. I got a taxi for her and she went away.

Third Person's P.O.V.

After some time Tithy's phone rang off and it was Ruhaan. She rushed to his cabin. After knocking, she entered the cabin and found Ruhaan reading the file, she left on his desk.

Ruhaan turned to her to ask about something but his eyes caught of her right hand that was banded.

"What happened to your hand?"

"It's nothing serious sir."

But when she found Ruhaan staring at her hand without replying, she decided to speak up.

"Sir, actually I was slightly pushed off by a car on my way back to the office."

"What ! You met with an ACCIDENT?"

"NO. It will be way too much to call that an accident. It was just a little push, you know" Tithy replied indicating two fingers with just a noticeable gap to show him the meaning of little. She didn't realize that Ruhaan was worked up already just at the mention of the word of accident by himself.

Being unaware of Ruhaan's condition, Tithy left the cabin after briefly reporting on the task that she was given.

Ruhaan was just staring at her hand for the whole time. When Tithy left the cabin, some memories popped in his mind.

"Vaaaai, vaaaai..." a girl slowly came to his room screaming. Pointing to her leg, she said, "It's hurting, vai."

"What happened to your leg?" Ruhaan asked seeing nothing observable in her leg except her sad face which was enough to make him worried.

"Vai, you know."

His phone rang off which made him come to earth. Looking at the caller ID, a small but sad smile occupied his lips.

He attended the call instantly, "hello."

"How are you, Vai?" the person asked.

"Hmm what about you?"

These questions never met their well-known answers after that day. So likewise without replying, the person from the other side of the phone call said, "The birthday is coming in a few days, vai"

The persons from both sides of the phone call became silent as they both were out of word...
