Runaway

Chapter 7

Shalini pov

'This is exhausting, why I have to do this. Can't you just fix it out ', I shouted at my little sister who is picking up the sticks which is lying on the cold hard ground . '

'it's your fault, Sissy. you're the one who pushed it down. you have to help me or I will puncture your scooter again ' she threatens as well as shouts at me .

Well, it wasn't my fault, may be partially, but she's the one who should have watched out and been careful while bringing her science project downstairs, I thought . I picked up all the little things that scattered on the floor and placed it on the place where it was supposed to be. At last we finished it assembling .

'I know I should not say thanks to you but since you're my big sister, thank you, ' she Said it in a sarcastic tone .

'Run before I hit you with my laptop, Sara '

A typical sister's scenario I thought , I saw her running down the dining hall to pick her lunch . I have to drop her in the school today cause the usual van driver has some other work it seems . I picked up my office bag since I need to head my office after I drop her . We booked a taxi because of my big science nerd sister had her big science project to present today in the science exhibition gallery .

Soon we arrived at her school. I paid the fare to the taxi driver and turned around to see Sara was about to trip down with her science project due to the weight of it but before i could react a hand caught her from falling down. I took a glance at him and quickly I recognized it was Saran, Sara's classmate and her friend .

'Pathu va ma , un size ku ivalo perusa thookitu thaniya va vandha ' he asked

'Illa da pathu dhan vandha light ah slip ayiducha ,athan nee vandhutela inime neeye thookitu va ' she told to him and chuckled .

'Athana unnaku poi help pannanla avana solanum' i interrupted them and gave a little pat on sara's head

'Ada vidunga akka , neenga eppadi irukinga atha sollunga ' he asked

'Nalla irukenda class la eppadi poguthu 12th vera olunga padinga'

'Athu seri yara pathalum idhe dhan solranga , vera ethavadhu pudhusa sollunga' he whined like a baby. i laughed at his innocence and ruffled his hair.

'Seri kelambunga class ku time ayiduchu, be safe sara olunga pannu all the best . bye saran ' i Said

We three waved our goodbyes and I boarded in the cab again to go to my office. Great start, we got stuck in the traffic already 15 minutes late , antha devil enna soluvanu vera theriyala ,ippa idhu vera sutham iniku day nalla pona mari dhan . i thought .

After rushing and speeding up in this heavy traffic, we finally arrived at my office . Second day of my work 30 minutes late, good.

I ran to my cabin and settled quickly. for goodness' sake no one is around even the devil is not in his room . Must be a lucky day. Before I could process my thought, I saw a tall body leaning over the cupboard which was in the corner of my room . How come i didn't notice this cupboard or the man leaning over it. I am definitely perturbed now .

He slowly moved away with a smirk plastered on his beautif- no devilish face . Good thing we were separated by the long table in my cabin . He widely spreaded his hands across the table while keeping firmly on it and leaned over. , I took a step back at his action but soon my back hits lightly on the glass hutch behind me .

'Second day of work , 30 minutes late. What should I do now hmmm.... meet me in the meeting hall now '. He ordered and left me in this room alone.

I was breathless , I thought he would yell at me or dismiss me as he said , but the words left his lips were different . Why the heck he wants me to meet me in the meeting hall. If he wanted to talk privately , well, there is no other better place to speak like that than my cabinet. maybe this devil has some plan .
