chapter 13

Sanjana was standing on the window and looking outside while having her coffee.She was immersed in her past when she met Rahul for the first time on his 21st birthday. She was just 15 at that time. Some new and unknown feelings just overloaded her due to that tender age.She saw him standing with his friends and laughing and enjoying. She was just lost in him, he was tall, handsome and hot who can make any girl fall for him. That was her first and last meeting with him. After that she saw him now. She was trying hard to understand her restlessness. She was thinking about him only how his embrace made her comfortable, she was feeling secured in those arms. Like no one can harm her in any way. His shirtless image and sleeping with him in his arms were flashing in front of her again and again. All these obscure feelings are disturbing her.Since morning her brain is also trying to recall something from that incident which appears to be a blur image. The person who is helping her gives her his jacket telling her to leave the place but again nothing is clear due to which her headache is getting worse.To get herself distracted from these thoughts she got up and started getting ready for her office, the only way to distract her from these thoughts. She goes down in the kitchen and starts preparing for breakfast. In the meantime Arti also came down in the kitchen.Arti : Hey, Good morning, darling.Shubhra : Good morning, sweet heart .Arti : You are ready, so early.Shubhra : Yes, I got up early so I got ready.Arti : What are you making ?Shubhra : Paneer parantha with chutney and coffee for me and tea for you.Arti : Great, I am feeling hungry all of sudden.Shubhra : chuckled, Haan ...Haan... come and sit have your breakfast. By the way, what your brother will like to have for breakfast. Does he like Indian food ?Arti : He too loves paneer parantha and will have them only. No worries, otherwise aunty is there and she will make something for him.Shubhra : Ok, I have made extra parantha as Gaurav will also come, and you know his fondness for parantha so, they both can have them in their breakfast. You just make some tea/coffee for themArti : Yes sure, and yes he is crazy for your cooking and don't worry we will manage. Have you done yours ?Shubhra : Not yet, not feeling hungry. So I will keep them for lunch. Just taking my black coffee with cookies.Arti : Again black coffee ! What is disturbing you now ? Tell me, otherwise you know the consequences.Shubhra : I don't know how to describe those unknown feelings. Since morning I was again seeing those blur images, not able to identify anything which is creating a mess in my brain and my headaches are getting worse.Arti : Stop overthinking. Okk, just relax and calm yourself. Shubhra just leaves your past, there is nothing in your past. Start living a normal life as before.Shubhra : How can you say there is nothing in my past. The person who saved me is still there hiding. His thoughts are making me restless.Today again I don't know what happened to me, there are very strange feelings as he is somewhere here only and I am not able to recognise him.It's feeling like something is slipping from my hand, something is there which I was missing, something very important and I don't know what is that.Arti : Cool down dear, stress is not good for you and you know this better.Shubhra : Yes I know that, but what can I do ? Things are not in my control and are disturbing me on and off. Ok let it go, I am going to the office to keep myself engaged in work.Arti : Ok. Keep smiling, it suits you.Both of them bid a bye to each other.
