Hasini POV:

First day at work but I am still hung up over yesterday's messages. I made a mess out of myself before reaching work. I had to clean up my swollen eyes and red nose because of the continuous crying last night.

The thought of yesterday makes me tear up again, I think I don't deserve the good or the happy endings with a person, or he was just fooling around. I thought work would divert my mind but Mam is yet to reach work, thankfully she has already cleared my security verifications.

I have been going from one department to the other guided by one of the front desk staff as an orientation. I felt quite nervous with the new environment and people.

Once the orientation was over she guided me to our wing and showed my desk too. Since I had no other informed work to do, I stayed idle and checked my chat again.

Before I was swallowed by my thoughts, Aradhiya mam walked in with a bouquet filled with red and white roses and a bright smile.

I am really sorry dear, I should have been the one to receive you on your first day followed by your orientation. Thanks to the grown up brother of mine.

The last part of the sentence was the only thing I registered. It's okay mam, I had no trouble in the building though I felt a little nervous.

I am really sorry dear, she handed me the bouquet and wished me luck before speaking about him, If only he did not meet with an accident I would have been here on time Sini.

Again the part about him created a havoc in my mind, Mam what happened to Prabhu? She smiled at me reassuringly and guided me towards her office room but her smile never brought the serenity I usually felt. I was getting impatient and worried with every passing second.

Have a seat Sini and calm down he is fine, maybe a little drowsy due to the medicines. When I was about to interrupt, she smiled at me and continued. He got hit by a bicycle yesterday noon, has a cast on his right arm and some scratch in his head as he calls it. He threw a tantrum to come home immediately after the check ups and treatment.

He was cranky yesterday crying for a new mobile, after some serious scoldings he took the tablets and went to bed. Since he was cranky and sore, I had to stay back till he woke up. Now he is with my husband and is back to his old self. Talking nonsense and non stop.

I couldn't bring out any other reaction other than an awkward smile. I think mam sensed my awkwardness and switched our conversation to work...

Though the contract we were discussing was going to be a turning point in my profile, all I could think about was Prabhu. He has occupied my head since then, after listening to the work flow I got mam's schedule and walked out towards my seat.

As soon as I sat down, my alter ego popped out of my head to mock me for all the stupid intuitions I had... Someone had to suffer a hit and bandages while you mock that person for not replying your stupid one word text.

Why were you expecting a reply when the text was a mistake? If he replies or not, you are planning to reject him, so why create a fuss and ball your eyes out. I would not hurt him like that. But your rejection would Hasini, it would definitely break him into pieces.

You are just another selfish girl who wants her life to be perfect without getting hurt or involved in anything. I do have insecurities and the worst example in the world. My ego laughed at me, like I am the craziest self. Don't grade every man walking around in this world in comparison to your Dad. Before this self interaction could continue mam called me via intercom for some work.

My once jumbled thoughts now has lots and lots of knots. I don't know which one to believe or to trust. I wanted to believe that Prabhu is not well and lost his phone or damaged it so he might have seen or not seen my message. If the above is the reason I don't know how to reply if he confronts me, whether to express my Love or bury it deep inside.

What if all my intuitions were right? Someone snapped in front of my face continuously to get my attention. Sini where are you? In your own world of imagination or dreams. She was smirking at me with an I know you look.

No its nothing like that mam, nothing like what Sini? Mam... She laughed at my stuttered speech and patted my head. Calm down Sini, don't over think things will fall in its own places very soon. You will never be alone anymore, you have us to always support and cheer you dear. So stay confident and bold. Never look back at your vulnerable times and fear your future, God always has good plans for a bright and happy future. All you have to do is accept the new beginnings without over thinking. Walk along the new path and find your happiness instead of fearing and constricting your life and feelings.

I was close to tears, with a parched throat and feeble voice I thanked mam. I have been actually distracted and disturbed since I entered work, new vibes mode I guess. I gave a silly laugh to lighten up the mood while she gave me a tight hand squeeze before walking out for lunch.

We had our lunch in the café on the top floor of the office building and walked back to our wing. I was surprised when I walked inside our wing, looking at the interior. Sini stop staring like a kid, mam this looks exactly like our wing back in chennai . She laughed at me before replying. I thought you would have noticed all this already, Nikky used the same interiors for me to feel comfortable even with the new set up. I think you were deep in thoughts that's why you missed to notice all these.

She smiled at me before walking behind the door, mam is blessed to have someone to shower his love on her in every possible way he could. Will I get someone at least close to this person to make me feel special...
