9. Alternating the past.
1001 Words
Adam's POV
My wish for altering the past is not only because of my mistake, but it's also because of my dissatisfaction. Nearly 15 minutes, I stared at her disappearing figure. My heart filled with happiness along with displeasure.
I wasn't the only disgruntled with her for calling me Mr. Miller or behaving coldly with me, but I was aggrieved with myself too. The reason was simple; I shouldn't have let her run, or I should have found her long ago and went on my knees to get her back. But no, I remained busy with myself and forgot about her. This is another reason for which I want to alter the past.
Here, see how much she has changed. She is no longer that girl who used to get happy seeing me. Further, she doesn't identify my voice anymore. Her eyes don't glimmer in my presence and cheeks don't get reddened. On top of everything, she doesn't get nervous around me.
Not only this, but she changed her appearance too. Her hairs are no longer small, they have grown. Also, her big eyes got covered with round glass, and she lost some pounds. Her sense of makeup and dressing style are impoverished. Most importantly she became more gorgeous.
Further, I wish she could have not behaved coldly with me. She should have hugged me and talked sweetly with me. So, I could have felt relieved.
Now, what do I have to do? After so many years I felt like I desired to have a personal life and a shoulder to lean on. However, it seems, my desire is not going to be fulfilled. She is not ever going to be normal around me.
Sighing in dissatisfaction, I turned and looked at Mr. Noah Diaz who gave me a doubtful look.
Noah is the team leader of the human resource department and also my friend. No! I don't keep making random friends. As I said, I have changed for the better. Noah became my friend because of our similar past. His family also made him an outcast.
He belongs to a well-known family. They are one of the wealthiest families in New York, they show that they are broad-minded, but sadly they have narrow thinking.
Noah is gay, and his family thought being gay will bring shame for them, so they forced him to go to church, the monastery, temple, and so many other places. They even took him to the hospital and asked the doctor to do some kind of treatment.
In the beginning, Noah listened to them and thought he was at fault but soon he was not only exhausted, but also he felt disgusted by his family and in the end, he thought to leave from there.
Because of their f*****g thinking, they failed to see how good he is. In these three years, I have seen how much he is a sensible, mature, and hard-working guy. Initially, I thought he was reserved but slowly I found he just takes some time and once he gets comfortable, god even can't save anyone from his madness. He pulls legs so much, he makes me embarrassed in front of others. From others, I meant Aiden and Mr. Cameron, my mentor. Well, it is okay as because of his activities only I sometimes feel alive. I sometimes feel living is not only about taking a breath.
But sometimes he behaves arrogantly, especially around girls. As they hit on him; he gets uncomfortable. Also, some give him creep looks.
So, he behaves rudely and takes them away from him.
However, it doesn't affect his work. So, I don't need to nag him. However, there is one thing that makes me irritated; his habit of asking numerous questions.
I don't know why he is silent at this moment as I am sure several theories are going in his mind. He might explode at any moment and kill my brain with his silly questions.
“Why are you staring at me?” Noah asked his first question. This is only the beginning, he is going to eat my head. Just wait and watch.
“Are you planning something evil?” He next said.
“Hold on! Please don't again send me behind those girls. See, Ms. Brown is weird. She is a silent type of person but looks at me with suspicious eyes. And another girl, Sarah is abnormal. She speaks a lot also she acts like a bossy,” he said.
“It's tiring to answer them. And yes please here too, I don't want you to put girls on my team. One more thing, can we work from our main branch only? This office is situated in the main city, it has all facilities, nevertheless, I like our old one,” he said, making faces.
“It had a very quiet environment. Also, there I used to get to see a peaceful view,” he added.
I narrowed my eyes and shook my hand and then kept my hand in my pocket.
“See, think again. Should we continue to do work from there?” He said.
“Just blurt whatever is going in your mind. You don't have to beat around the bush,” I sighed in annoyance.
“Are you sure? Then don't nag me saying I am intruding in your life,” he shrugged his shoulders.
“Then don't even speak, I am getting the hint of what your question is. Truly saying, I might break your head in two peices,” I muttered.
The lift stopped, I was about to amble inside leaving him with his questions but stopped listening to his stupid question.
“Why did you say to Miss Morgan that you prefer your first name? Did you like her? Do I have to bear that girl now around us?” Noah asked.
I turned my face towards him and gave him an unbelievable look and then blew some air over his stupidness.
To be continued.
