Shadow Of My Past

Chapter 17

This chapter is dedicated to eristaaa21. A very Happy Birthday dear....I hope you all like the chapter.

After finishing all my work, I packed all my stuffs, tightened my hijab before leaving my cabin. Before going out of the office, I was continuously calming down myself. I didn't wanted to go home because today I didn't have any more strength left in me to face any things.

I sat down beside the reception, and drank water. After thinking alot, I decided to stay the night at Muskaan's place as it is tomorrow I've to reach here early. Since Muskaan stays alone, so I don't have to worry about anything. But first I need to ask from my Uncle. I quickly called him.

"Yes dear" he said as he picked up my call.

"Umm..Uncle, I need to take permission from you" I said biting my lower lip.

"What permission dear?" He asked calmly.

"Can I stay at Muskaan's place today? Actually, my boss has called me tomorrow early in the morning at five am. It's already eleven now and Muskaan doesn't stay far from here." I said.

"Dear, you don't have to give any explanation. I know why you don't want to come home today. It's okay, I understand. Stay safe and if anything happens call me" he said.

"Yeah, Okay. Thank you, Uncle" I said and ended the call.

Then, I texted Muskaan that I'll be staying at her place, in result she spammed my cell because she was over excited.

I was now waiting for a bus or cab, but they both seemed to be angry with me because they are not coming. I sighed, I looked at my cell but it was useless, Muskaan kept on sending me texts. I was waiting on the side pavement when a black BMW stopped right in front of me.

The driver's seat opened and a man got out dressed in a black suit. When he turned, my jaws dropped.

"Hey" he smiled as he waved at me.

"Hii, my same title brother" I grinned.

Imran scowled.

"Am I mad or what that I'll become your brother!!" he said. I laughed. "Anways, what are you doing here at this time?"

"Waiting for the bus or cab" I sighed.

"Why so late?? Does your shift end at this time??" He asked

"No...but today I had a lot of work. That's why, I got stuck!!"

"Ohh..okay, then come, I'll drop you to your home." He said.

"Oh no no...thanks. But I'm not going home now, I'll be staying at my friend's place."

"Ohh..then I'll drop you at your friend's place"

"No no, thanks again. I'll manage"

"How? Because I can't see any mode of transport here" he said

Yup, he was right. But he's a stranger, I don't know him also, but I can't even stay here also, it's already midnight.

"Now what are you thinking?? Don't tell me that you still think me as a stranger." He said and I just smiled.

"Oh God!!! And here I thought that we're friends" he said facepalming. I laughed. But at last, I agreed.

"So what do you do?" He asked

"I work as a head manager" I said.

"Apart from working"

"I rest, sleep, watch TV" I shrugged
