Conference hall no. 2 of Grace reverberated with the cheery noise of clapping when Robin ended the presentation. His face shone with confidence. The man was glad his team appreciated his efforts.“It’s an outstanding presentation, Sir!” they said all together, appraising his presentation.The man smiled at the six people sitting around the rectangular table and muttered a thank you.“I hope you get the insights into this project, Miss Jones?” Robin faced Kiara after turning off the projector. It was the next morning, Kiara had a meeting with her project members. Robin introduced her to five other people who were her teammates.“Yes, Sir! You have actually prepared such a brilliant presentation that I get all points the first time only.” Kiara replied, smiling politely. “I’m sure we are going to make it a huge success.” She said hopefully. “And with the inputs Miss Jones was giving on our queries, we are assured she is a total fit for our team.” Rick, one of the team members, added.Ki

“Some years back, Kiara came with a little boy in her hand, claiming she picked up from near a church!” Mr. Lewis lowered his gaze, stressing his forehead as he tried to recall that incident. “He was… perhaps, crying there alone in a very pathetic condition when Kiara found him.”“A toddler?” Viaan inquired, looking at Mr. Lewis with narrowed eyes. He then looked at Leo and found the same curious expression on his face. “And which church?”“Not exactly a toddler. He must be three or four at that time! And I don’t remember the church’s name.” Answered the man, knitting his eyebrows as if trying to remember something. “Actually, I was out of town those days due to my business, so couldn’t visit them for several days.”“Oh, okay!” Viaan nodded, then asked again. “So, did Aaron say how he was all alone there? I mean, if he was three or four, he must have started speaking by that age.” His tone sounded more inquisitive as he looked at the middle-aged man with curiosity. He was determined t

The clock struck six in the evening. Clouds were fading slowly in the night sky. As the day came to an end people returned to their respective homes. Stepping inside the hospital premises, she texted about her arrival and walked inside the main door. An excitement to see someone dear had brought her here at this time. Since she had the visitors pass, the watchman allowed her to go to the reserved area for patients and their attendees. Leena walked with rushed steps, staring at her watch. Time was the only constraint of her visit. She got only two hours, and the woman wanted to make use of most of it. Breathing heaved due to the fast pace and eyes blinking frequently. She dabbed some sweat drops off her forehead and temple with her bare hands as she sauntered towards her destination. A ring on her phone startled her; she felt the vibration in her hand. Pulling out the phone from her small hand purse, she smiled at the caller’s name. “Hello, yes, I’m on the way. Tell me the room numb

“Send me the documents, Neil, I’ll check them after dinner.” Viaan pressed his neck, stepping down the stairs.“Sure, Sir!” Neil replied before the line went dead. Viaan exhaled a deep breath while texting someone.After sending the send button he pushed the phone into his trousers’ pocket and pressed his neck and shoulders with more pressure.It was after he thanked his mother for his success that Leena asked him to freshen up and come down for the meal.Tired of his hectic schedule he could feel the tension build up in his muscles. They felt sore. Thus he massaged the back of his neck and shoulders in a circular motion trying to release the stress.A deep grunt slipped out of his mouth feeling the rigid tissues under his fingertips.“That’s why I tell you not to overwork.” He heard Leena complain when he reached the dining table.She was standing there with her hands on her waist and glaring at her son for his carelessness.A smile tugged on his lips looking at his mother’s mad face

Some memories don’t fade away with time… they remain intact in your heart, reminding you of their presence every single day. With every throb… every beat. And every single day you feel it twisting your heart with more affliction… more agony.Leena felt a series of pangs constricting her soul as she sobbed for her life partner. That night flashed before her eyes… Vivian’s last call for her shuddered her once again. His voice resounded with a shrill in her ears, again reminding her of the pain inflicted on both of them. The agony of separation. Vivian died with that pain, tearing him in his last hours. But Leena? She was alive… still living the trauma of being separated from her love.How could one fathom the deep ache that pricks a lover’s heart and soul every single day?“It still hurts to believe he is no more…” Leena pulled her lips between her teeth, sniffing softly.Though she sobbed silently, unlike earlier times, it was still a heart-wrenching scene for Viaan.
