He step inside the room while closing the door lightly behind him. The coffee mug still clutched in his hand while my phone was now kept safely inside his pocket.

What he is doing?

He step closer until he reached my packed bags. He looked down closely at the bag as if scanning it through the lid.

"So you made up your mind?"

He asked sipping from his coffee.

"Yes." I sound pretty determined for my own surprise.

"Is there a possibility that I can change your mind?" He looked into my eyes while asking it and for a moment I was about to mutter a "yes".

"No." I stated forcefully.

He took another sip.

"And what I'm going to answer Zayn and Zara?" He looked down at my bags again.

I looked away too.

"Maybe tell them the truth." I didn't mean that.

Not at all.

"And what's the truth, sanyukta?" He looked towards me again but I avoid the gaze.

Oh god. Say my name like that again and I will unpack my bags right now.

I took a deep breath.

"If I can run away once, then I can do this again too." I justify my cowardly move.

"You can't get over leaving the family who never loved you ..." He hold my arm lightly and make me look at him. " So how will you get over leaving the family who really love you?"

" Don't." I can't cry again. Come on. Grow up a little. Be courageous for once in your life sanyukta.

" Don't pretend like you know me." I completed my sentence.

He lean down a little, closing our gap.

"Don't I?" His breath were warm over my face. I breath into his breaths and the peace wasn't describable.

Will he hold me if I ask him to?

Will he stay if I ask him to?

Will he kiss me like that again if I ask him to?

"Your absence will affect them greatly." He stated lowly.

And you?

" Maria And Peter too." He added.

"The decision will be yours but the consequences will be faced by many." He sounds threatening for once before his eyes flicked down to my bag and I realise he was stating the obvious.

The truth was hard to accept.

I took a step back to turn sideways. Facing my bag.

"I can't bear them hating me." I stared truthfully.

"They can't hate you." His voice was close to my ear.

"Once they know about my past...

" They don't need to know." He decided.

This made me turn to him furiously.

"Why won't you tell them?" I try to keep my voice low.

"I have never seen them so attached to anybody." He stated. " And I won't let anybody harm their peace now. Not you , not me." He said truthfully.

" And Aamayra? Will I have to sleep every night with fear that maybe tomorrow Aamayra will tell everyone about my past like a journalist?" My voice kept getting higher with every word.

Hr stood silent for sometime before saying

" I will take care of her. I know what she need." He mumbled to himself.

I know what she need.

Its him.

So I'm staying?

"So there was a possibility." He smiled very very slightly at the end. I almost imagine it into a full smile but no, it disappears as soon as it appear.

"About the internship..."

"I'm not doing that internship." I stated straight away.

He open his mouth again but I continued.

"And there is no way I will change my mind about that." I stated.

"think again." He started. "I was looking forward towards your frequent visits to my office."

This time there was a prominent smirk on his lips.

Did he just said what I think he said?

I was too late to understand because he already turn around and left my room cold and empty.

There is no way I'm going back into his office.

I'm not going to that internship too.

I won't even step inside that building from now on.

I swear.

************

"Peter please. This is kidnapping." I protested when he shove me into the car.

"You are not at all what I think you to be." Peter shouted.

This sentence made my heart stop beating.

"What..." I hesitated.

"You are so irresponsible. You are late on your second day of internship." He slammed the door shut before start driving.

I wasn't late.

I quit.

But I didn't tell him. I have no idea how will I explain it to him. So I better leave this topic for other time.

"Thank god Randhir called me to bring you to office on time. He has been going very easy on you I swear. He would have fired others by now." Peter look forward while driving as fast as he could.

Within moments we were turning towards the familiar building.

Oh god no

"Peter, my head. God, it's paining." I hold my head with my fingers.

He looked at me weirdly.

"I used to do that when I was five. So stop it right now. You are not five and this is not school. Grow up girl." He is becoming a mom now.

He stop the car right in front of the building.

"Now get out and go straight to his office. He wanted to see you first before your session. I have go to the restaurant now." He open my door and pull me out. God he is definitely turning into a mom.

"Remember, go straight to his office. He had asked for you." Peter pointed to the building and get into his seat again.

"Randhir will bring you back in evening." Peter informed. "Goodbye princess." He drives off.

No way in hell I'm going inside this building ever again. It was just my luck that Peter didn't decide to drop me to Randhir office. I have to go before anybody found me. Especially Randhir.

Instead of entering into the building, I walked straight on the road. Currently I have no idea where I'm going but I was hoping to find out soon.

Thank you so much.

I hope you liked it.
