C8 Chapter 8

Flashback

"Aapi (sister) today I saw that man, he was in front of me..... I was not able to do anything while looking at him in front of me....at that time I was feeling that much helpless which I never felt before.... I was feeling like killing him, after snatching all our happiness how much peacefully he living in his own life....."

She was talking with the photo of her sister taking in her hand. She immediately came home after confronting him. Mrs. Nimra was astonished at her early arrival.

But making an excuse of a headache to her, she came to her room. And till then she was talking to her sister's photo.

"Aapi if I know that this is his company then I will never go there..... but still it's not late.... Tomorrow I will quit this job."

She made a decision with herself. How can she work with a man whom she extremely hates?

"What's the matter, Minal what happened to you, you were right before I went to university, then suddenly how did you become sick?"

As soon as Kawish enters her room, he asked Minal who was sitting on the bed. But he paused for a moment after seeing the picture in her hand.

"Nothing, I have a headache, but it's alright now..... you tell me, how was your day today.....?"

She tried to put the picture on the side table but Kawish has taken the picture from her hand.

"Time passes so quickly we don't know, it's been two years since Ishaal left us...."

He said while looking at the picture.

"At that time I tried very hard to come to you people, but I didn't come.....at that how much you and aunt needed me, but I was not with you....."

There was sadness in his voice, which Minal understand very finely.

"It's not like that, actually it was not in your fate to come there at that time.....but till today whatever you did, it's not less for both of us....."

Minal said to feel him less guilty. She doesn't want that Kawish to feel guilty.

"It's my obligation, you are like my sister and aunt is like a mother to me, and if I don't take care of both of you then who else will do it...."

He looks at her and smiled mildly. She also laughed.

"Sometimes I can't believe Sanam left us so early, till today I don't understand why she did this, what was the reason of her doing that....."

He said thoughtfully. Then Minal becomes silent on his saying.

"Ok leave that, tell me how was your first day at the office...."

Feeling the tenseness in the environment, he immediately changes the topic. While his question led Minal into pondering what she answers him now.

"Yes..... the first day was just fine, slowly gradually I will adapt to it...."

She made her point. She can't say anything to him.

"Then it's good, if you don't like this job, my offer is still intact, think about it....."

He made her remember doing a job in his company.

"Please Kawish I want to do something by myself, and I don't want anyone to help in this."

She said stubbornly, which made Kawish smile.

"Let's go outside, otherwise aunt will tell we are sitting in the room leaving her alone....."

Taking steps towards outside, he said to her. Putting the photo aside she also came outside behind him.
