Shadow Of My Past

Chapter 21

This Awesome cover has been made by Kumud03. Thank you so much dear for taking out time and making it for me.

I have been sitting on one spot only from the past twenty minutes. I tried every time to get up and leave for work but couldn't pull myself to. It's been five days since I had fought with him and from then, I haven't seen him once also.

Though he comes to office everyday but there's not a bit of interaction also with him. Infact I didn't saw him once also in the last five days. I only heard from my co workers about him and his works.

I sighed and was about to get up when my cell suddenly went off.

It was Mr.Khan's call. His call brought a big smile on my face and I picked up his call immediately.

"Assalamualaikum" I said.

"Walekumasalam, how are you my child??" He asked. Ohh...how much I missed him and his caring nature.

"Allahamdulilah and you?" I asked.

"Allahamdulilah. You must be on your way to work?"

"Nope, I'm still in the house"

"Why? Last time I checked, I got to know that your new boss doesn't like late comers."

"Yes, it is true....but today I just can't put myself to get up and leave for work."

"Is everything alright my child?"

"Yeah, everything's fine" I lied. The last thing I want is to worry him.

"So what's new? Tell me everything, which I might be missing about the office."

"You're missing nothing only the office and all of us are missing you. Come back soon, Sir" I said

"I will Hoori, I will. So does that Aariz treat you better or is he still the same?"

"He's still the same. Actually he has a mental problem, and I doubt that any doctors or mental hospital will take him in and diagnose him." I said

"Someone's in a bad mood"

"He always makes me hyper"

"But he's your mentor"

"No, you are my mentor." I pouted

"I'm highly obliged" he said and I laughed. "On a serious note what exactly happened between you both this time?"

"From where to start...seriously, I also don't know what is happening these days. When we'll meet then I'm gonna tell you everything but for now all I can say is, I fought with him and he kept on saying that it's not his fault. And now I don't know, what to do?" I sighed.

"Hmm...do you really think that it was his fault?" He asked.

"Yes and No, because I saw it with my own eyes"

"And how can you be so sure that whatever you've seen is the truth only...it may or may not be"

"You're right" I again sighed.

"So cheer up my girl and start all over again. Go and clarify everything with him"

"I will"

"You should get going now and if I'm not wrong you're already half an hour late" he said and I stood up. I didn't meant to be this late....damn!! Now he'll be more angry.

"Okay, I should run now, If I want my job. Assalamualaikum"

"Hahahahahaha... Walekumasalam" he replied and we ended the call.
