Holding her tears, she found herself alone at midnight. Somehow she got to her apartment, and dropped herself on her couch in the pitch silence at her apartment. She couldn't control her tears falling on her cheek when she thought his words all over again.After her one more defeat, he continues to wipe her tears while thinking,'What is happening to me? Why do I so much want him to understand when I very well know he hates me to the core? Why won't I just… stop trying and thinking about doing this. But, how would I know he won't if I don't try?'Sniffing, again trying to understand everything he does, and falling asleep after trying hard.It was a day off from work and she was having her breakfast, feeling unknowingly sad about not seeing him this morning when all he would do was just send sharp gazes into her direction wherever he would be. But she couldn't understand all properly why he locked her into the store just because he wanted to, and waited for everyone to leave so he coul

"What?" She whispered confusingly with a breathless voice to herself. "Is this you?" She called out to him, frightening to think that he would do this. "Hello!-" "Yes, it's me! I'm here to ask you, how does it 'feel', huh?" "What do you mean? I don't understand, please open the door-" "Listen to me. Let me ask you, what are you trying to do? Do you really think you understand me from any situation? What were those talks and things you were trying to do? You think you would know everything by looking at my face, really?" He ended in an amusing mock, standing in front of the door, hands in his pockets and anger on his face. "No, I didn't mean it to offend you. But, I really don't get-" "Shut up. How does it feel to get trapped in there, huh?" He began to hiss, "Did you know, my heart was trapped in an exact same place like what this looks like. A place where it was the end of the difficulty to breathe, nothing came to sight which showed any sign which could save me, no path, no des

"Today, you won't leave for home until I tell you so." For a few seconds, she kept looking at him. Then began to speak in a bit of a panic tone, "Huh? Okay. No problem. I'll stay. You're my boss, and I'm willing to do every work you'd give me. Alright." "You better do it, or you don't have any choice." He removed his sharp gaze away from her face and let go of her arm. Then, the lift door began to open, he stepped back, and got out of the lift without glancing at her. After he left, she placed her hand on her chest and took a few deep breaths. 'Why does he always want to keep me here until late? But, I'm going to do it anyway. To whom I have to go if I'll not listen to him?' The rest of the day passed in their usual work, and more than soon it was evening. Selena was trying to pass the time until everyone leaves and continued her work which she was given everyday, to the other side of her work, but she would gladly scratch her head to the end of the day to complete this. Shaydon,

With those thoughts and another sweet and without the destination determination, she fell asleep. A day has arisen with the new hope. After wearing this hopeful smile on her face, she got ready to leave for work. It was almost an hour at the work, but she hadn't seen him coming in, nor coming out of his office. She was not sure if he is not present here or if she didn't see him today at all. After a while of her getting herself busy in work, she saw him walking straight towards his office. She didn't remove her eyes until he was gone out of sight, and Mark was standing in front of his office door. Their eyes met, and Mark passed her a reassuring smile. She got herself back to work, and soon it was evening. She was surprised to see he didn't give her more work like usual and got up to leave, but someone was in front of her again with another extra work on her bench. She drops herself again on the chair and gets herself ready to prepare those. Shaydon was in his office, resting his ba

His steps didn't stop, nor did her fast pace heartbeats as her back hit the wall and she was startled to see him stop so close in front of her. She was being another mess all over inside herself, but Shaydon wanted to teach her even once a lesson in her life which tells his side of the story as well. "Shay-" He leaned closer and was scaring her now with his intense angry gaze. "Shh.. You are not allowed to say my name.. Ever. Moreover, I will not allow myself to hear it from your mouth again." He stops for a second after making her quiet, then begins to say in a restraining tone. "You don't know but It was years ago and when you broke my heart completely, I have swore to not let myself hear it from you ever again. This is not something which came to my mind just now. You don't have any effect on me now." He completed in much of a serious tone. Then, he grabbed her arm tightly and pulled her to him, "What did you tell me? Life had paid off, right? You regretted so much in your life,

"...Sir. I don't know how to say it since you are in the place of forgiving me- let alone giving me the chance to say my words are not even near you, but now that I have you in front of me, I can't lose that chance. I don't want anything from you right now.. the only thing I wanted right now was a chance to speak. And.. Thank you for that." She stopped and continued her words after swallowing heart. "You're thinking all wrong about me. Assuming wrong things about me. I have truly changed. I know you won't.. But, believe me. I.. I have changed. You don't know how regretful I have been living since the day I went to Australia. I was alone.. I did all that, not by thinking I could gain people in my life, I was only being selfish. I- I know nothing of this sort will help me change your mind even for a second, and I also don't know why am I even saying this. But…" He was just staring at her with a straight face the whole time and she was speaking continuously without halting and without
