With you Forever

CHAPTER:- 20

Aahan's Pov

"I have to pretend that I am fine. My new job is exciting because if I won't, then my friends will be sad. I can bear the pain, but not the sadness in their face."

"They won't know ever."

"We are not like the modern friends, our bond is made from heart, Ishita. Kamal and Ritik are my life and so am I to them. If I will tell how I was fired due to office politics, Kamal would use his power to such an extent that the company will face a huge loss. And Ritik was a mature guy, but when it comes to me, he is the most protective one. They have a life too. Before a month, they were always worried about me getting a job, and now when finally they are completely focused in their life, I don't want to trouble them. Because for me, they will declare a war against Vermas'. And I certainly don't want that. Because a war harms both the sides."

These were the exact conversation I had with Ishita. This thing was too much troubling.

I was shocked.

No, what could it be? A prank by someone!

But who will prank me at 4 AM. It was not the time to joke around.

I pressed the play button again and heard the voice recording.

"I have to pretend that I am fine. My new job is exciting because if I won't, then my friends will be sad. I can bear the pain, but not the sadness in their face."

"They won't know ever."

"We are not like the modern friends, our bond is made from heart, Ishita. Kamal and Ritik are my life and so am I to them. If I will tell how I was fired due to office politics, Kamal would use his power to such an extent that the company will face a huge loss. And Ritik was a mature guy, but when it comes to me, he is the most protective one. They have a life too. Before a month, they were always worried about me getting a job, and now when finally they are completely focused in their life, I don't want to trouble them. Because for me, they will declare a war against Vermas'. And I certainly don't want that. Because a war harms both the sides."

Someone had recorded my conversation with Ishita and then trimmed the part, that clearly described my current situation.

But who did it and why?

I had no answer for the former question, but answer to the later question was something I could guess.

Someone knowingly sent it to Kamal to let him know about my situation.

I replayed the video attached to it.

Ishita can be suspected, but I knew her. She was an introvert girl, who was socially awkward. Even if, she talked to me in a friendly way, but I don't think she will take such an risk for me.

Whoever this was, he or she wanted my friends to be aware of my situation.

Thus only the video was sent along with it for gaining their trust.

It might be some old enemy of Abhay Basu. That cunning man must had troubled this poor soul a lot. Thus he/she was trying to help me. Maybe by saving my career, the satisfaction will be delivered to him/her. I made a theory out of blue, but that didn't satisfie me. For some reason, this puzzle attracted my attention. I was distracted from it for a minute.

My eyes travelled towards the subject of the email again and it stated, "I can help you if you want to help your friend."

I sighed.

So, somebody wanted to help me. And that somebody asked my friends to help him/her to save my career.

Wait, it must be someone from our office only. Maybe someone who seriously considered to save my character.

And that someone must have done a good research on me to get through Kamal.

But, why to stay in a hideout?

Let's play the game from face to face.

I smirked before typing from my mobile, "Let's meet then, my well wisher!" And I waited till the message was sent.

One second passed.

Two seconds...

Three seconds...

Four seconds...

Five sec... And a new notification popped up on my lock screen. With out thinking a moment, I clicked on it to my phone asking the password from me to type.

There was a suspension. I hadn't read who the sender was too!

And then whenever, I got anything suspicious, the inner CID of mine got on a high alert mode. In short I lost my mind.

You won't believe me right?

Oh, yeah. Currently I couldn't recall my own phone password.

What could it be?

Cricket!... Unmatched.

Football!... Unmatched.

Aahan!... Unmatched.

Aahanlovestosleep!... Unmatched.

KamalRitikAahan!... Unmatched.

And the saga continued as I kept typing random patterns and then it clicked me, I had an option of finger print sensor!

Damn, Aahan! Such an intelligent soul you are!

The first thing I will do tomorrow morning is, I will go to nearby shop to buy almonds.

"First save your career, you i***t! Otherwise it will dwell in the ocean of conspiracy and what will you do with the newly gain intelligence of yours? Don't tell me, you will invent the formula of peace for the world!" My subconscious mocked me.

Whatever! I went to press the finger print on sensor and to my badluck, in hurry, I touched the ring finger, while the forefinger print was actually set on the sensor of the phone.

Wow! Just wow! Can I get a bowl of water and I will die out of embarrassment only.

Now that I had thirty whole seconds in my hand to think about the sudden well wishers of mine, I kept thinking about who it could be!

Jason Uncle?

He loves me, but not more than his own job! He even didn't ask me a word before I came out of the office. Yes, he would be great friend, until it won't affect his job! After all he had a family to maintain and he loved them like anything. At the age of forty five, he couldn't risk of getting a new job.

Then... Aisha!

No, all we had just a few words of healthy flirting. There was nothing for her to question the authority, at least not for me.

And Rajesh!

That person was like a snake, who would bite you at any moment. So, he can't help me.

Then a name striked to my mind. Riya... Yeah, Riya.

The same Riya, who was the receptionist there, and got excited meeting me at his day of interview.

Well, over the days, we developed a bond of friendship. Still, I was in guilt

for not remembering her.

So, one-day, or to be precise a day before yesterday only, I asked her about her identity.

And, she revealed an interesting story to me.

She was the school mate of Kamal, and had a tiny winy crush on him, that developed to love over the years.

And being a social media stalker of him, she recognized me and Ritik well.

I was like, just wow. What an amazing stalker Kamal has!

And then, we became friends. Riya was a sweet girl. She asked me not to tell Kamal anything about her. Because she felt herself not to be suitable for him.

But, I had decided to ship Kamal and Riya already.

And then yesterday fiasco occured.

Was it Riya helping me? Maybe, yes.

Nevertheless, I pressed my finger print carefully and opened the new mail.

Leaving me surprised, it was from f*******: asking me to check new notifications.

Seriously!

I hate my life for now. Period.

To be continued...
