A TWENTY SOMETHING 37. GET OUT
HANA "You ran away from your marriage?" I could see Shalini's big brown eyes widen in apparent shock. She looked at her surroundings. Everyone is having their lunch, and no one is paying attention to us. She leaned closer, removing her ID card as though it was coming in her way. "Is that why you tried hard to get an on-site offer?" She asks me. I nodded my head and grabbed my water bottle. It's not what happened but it's Shalini's reaction that was making me feel like I was on adventure. "They didn't come after you?" I think about the question. They didn't come until Bash had cancelled Violet's wedding with Cillian. I don't know how to explain that. So I shook my head, saying no. "You did a very good job, you know that? You don't strike like a person who is going through a lot when people see you." I smiled at her words. "My friend, Ravali had married a guy her parents chose even though she wanted to go abroad for studies. That

HANA | THEN I woke up to the shrill cry of my mom. I quickly ran down the stairs just to find her on the floor, her hand rested on her cheek while she stared up at my raging father in horror. "Get the hell out of my house then, bitch." He screamed at her and threw the bottle at her. It's a mess. I looked at the shattered pieces on the floor, and among them was my mother. My legs trembled when I walked to her. I just want to help. I slowly picked the shards before my mom got hurt more than she already was. "Go away," She says, still staring at the place where my dad stood before. "Mom, I just want to he..." "Get the hell away from here, Hana." She screamed at me, making me jump in fear. The first thing I did was to go to my sister's room. She was already awake when I opened her door. "Did Dad hit her again?" She asked me, her slender body quivering in fear. "No," I tell her. "Let's go back to bed. Do you want to hear a story about a boy with three
A TWENTY SOMETHING 39. I LOVE YOU
HANA I parted my lips to feel more of his. But all I got was a graze of his lips. "What's your safe word?" He asked me against them. "STING," I breathed. He dipped his thumb into my mouth and I sucked, feeling hot and aroused. "Yes," He growls. "It's STING, Hana. I don't take no and you are not allowed to say no to me. Do you understand?" I nod my head frantically as he sucked on my lower lip. "Remember, when you said, no, at the end of the day, I'll command your body. And the shit you talked about in my office, I'm not taking it." "There's no other way Bash." I protested. He bit my lip as a punishment. "All you have to worry about is how you can get away from me. Because I'm not leaving you anytime soon now." I was supposed to be scared but I felt myself becoming wet. "Bash," I breathed tugging at the tie around my hands. Bash palmed my breasts, making me arch my back. He squeezed them hard, taking on

BASH I looked at Leo, scooting to the corner of his dark room. I sighed because the more I looked at him, the more I got tired of him. He pressed his palms together, his eyes looked like they could drop anytime soon, "Please. Leave me." He begged. I smiled and sat on the chair before him. "I will ask you a question and if I like your answer, I will grant you freedom." I saw a glimpse of what is called hope in his eyes before it disappeared and he nodded his head frantically. I undid the clasp of my watch. "What did you just ask me?" He looked confused but he quickly pulled himself together. "Please leave me," He says quickly. "I asked I mean I begged you to leave me." I gave him a cut node. "Have you ever heard someone else use that sentence before you?" His eyes shot up, his face consumed with horror at the reality he was in. He shook his head, scooting back even though I hadn't got up from my seat. "I asked you a fucking question, Leo,
A TWENTY SOMETHING 41. THE DATE
HANA There is a glint of amusement in the way Bash is looking at me. "What?" I asked him slowly. He leaned on my bedroom door and shook his head. "How did you hack his account?" "It is possible to use malware that redirects their text messages and phone calls to a phone number I own," I explained to him, feeling ashamed of what I did. I had training in ethical hacking until I met a friend online who helped in enhance my skills. I felt my cheeks burn when he handed over a cup of coffee. "I am sorry," I muttered. "No. My doubt is why would you cry after hacking his account?" I shrugged. "It always happens with me. I did things first. and they regret them later. I have always been like that. It's like a defect in me." That made him chuckle. I couldn't see why. "That's your overthinking." I held his gaze, a small smile lingered over his face and he shook his head, slowly walking towards me. He placed a kiss on the side of my for

HANA "I have a deployment again." Shalini sighed, slumping into her seat. I looked at my watch. "It's 6:30. We gotta go home." "Yeah. But Asli asked me to do the deployment after working hours, so." She casually shrugged as if it was not a big deal. "I will help you," I tell her, opening my laptop. "No yaar. It's fine. I can..." "Shalini," I put a finger on her lips. "It will be less burden for you if we do it together. If I am unable to do it, I could keep your company." She smiles, giving me a thumbs up, "You are the best." Shalini got up excusing herself. "If you are free, then why don't you work on Riyad's escalated issue?" I heard Asli say from behind. I turned around to watch her coming our way. "Work on that issue, today instead of doing someone else's work. Stop acting like a Mother Theressa. It's unbecoming." "I am sorry. Is something wrong?" I asked her, perplexed by her behaviour. I know that Asli likes to dump h
A TWENTY SOMETHING 43. THE CONNECTION
HANA "I have a user story, two tickets, three KT sessions and one hotfix." Shalini stared at her Team's calendar and said. "What about you?" "Just double what you have," I said, looking at my calendar on the system. We both blankly stared at the screen for fifteen minutes. "Can I go back in time and kiss her ass?" I asked her without turning to Shalini. From the corner of my eye, I saw her shaking her head. "Too late," She says. "If only we had let Bash fire her." She murmured. "If only I nodded my head instead of raging like a spitfire." "If only we hadn't discussed about sharing the work loudly." We both looked at turned towards each other, our faces grimacing as a low scream erupted from our throats. Shalini did a fake cry. and I touched my temple. "This is our doom," Shalini cried. "It is," I agreed. Asli started to retaliate in the way she knew by dumping all the work on us. "Mommy," Shalini cried. "I s
A TWENTY SOMETHING 44. TWENTY LONG DAYS
HANA I stayed up all night, scrolling through i***a, waiting for Bash's message and trying to reach Violet. This is something Bash asked me not to do. I looked no less than a zombie when I went to the office with dark circles and messy hair because I was late to straighten it. "Do you happen to have a Band-Aid? ‘Cause I scraped my knees falling for you." "Shut up, Mateo." I chided him. "I am not in the mood for it." "Wow, how do you even manage to look worse than yesterday?" Shalini asked me, wide-eyed. She linked our hands while Mateo tried to do the same. I swatted his hand away. "Come on, what did I do? You should have gone with him." I know I should have. It has been two days since he left for New York. I don't know what's happening there. I don't know how he is dealing with the death of his only family member, if he has eaten, if he needs help or if he needs me. I knew nothing. I felt like such a useless person when he somehow c
