I was in the office working yeah. . That is what I have turned to be from the past few years a workaholic' losing myself to work drowning in it so that I forget everything specially forget him'. . He who have taken my heart and soul never to return and here I'm waiting. . Waiting for him to come back. .
Back to me'
I closed my eyes to get rid of my thoughts which only hurt me. I was pulled out of my bubble by the knock in my door. I took a second to compose myself and said "Yes. . Come in" I now realized I felt chocked my voice hoarse. .
"Sharon ma'am there is a parcel for you" said me the pion placing a classy looking box wrapped in a glittering gift paper. . I gave it a quick glance there was no address or the note of the sender. I felt wired. . "Who gave it to you?" I asked still looking at the mysterious box in front of me. "There was a man who asked me to give it to you ma'am he was looking like a gentleman" came a prompt reply. For a second I felt angry how Ramesh my pion could do it. .taking a box from a random person and not even knowing who he is. . But I couldn't say anything to him Ramesh was in his late fifties and ever since I opened this firm he worked here he was like a close part of this firm and couldn't lash at him just like that. He felt my cabin and I was here being all too confused with a mysterious box given by a gentleman'
I was having second thought to open it or not in years altogether I haven't received any gifts and this box in front of brining an excited Sharon from no where
And within a second I was found unwrapping it. . The little box seemed very light and I started to wonder what it might contain. And to add it all my heart was pounding in my chest and the reason unknown to me. .and I was being restless and finally I opened the box and what I saw inside filled my eyes with tears. . It was a
half eaten chocolate'
*FLASHBACK *
(when I was 12yr old)
I was sitting under my study table eyes blazing with anger and nostrils flaring how could he. . how could he do this. . I will never ever speak to him. .' I was muttering to myself and cursing swayam because he eat my favorite chocolate which I preserved to eat later.
Sharon are you in. .' I heard a little scared but cute voice it was Swayam's I felt like chuckling but kept a straight face sharon is dead. . go away. .' I said anger raging in my voice. here you are. . as usual. . how can I forget' he said flashing his charismatic smile and making him comfortable next to me under the table. The chocolate wrapper still in his hand which added to my fury.
go way swayam I don't want to talk to you' I said turning my hear to the other side.
sorry my princess I just saw it in your bag while searching for home work and couldn't resist from eating. . though I eat only couple of pieces he said as if explaining his crime.
yeah. . right. . only couple of pieces. . it was my favorite chocolate swayam. .' I said and I started to cry not knowing the real reason behind it.
hey. . hey. . princess' he made me to face him and wiped my tears with his little fingers and I saw straight in his eyes there was so much concern in them. Shona, I'm sorry. . please don't cry. . I promise when I start to earn I will fill your bag with chocolates' he said with ardent sincerity that I was in awe of him.
I flashed a wide smile the best I could give and hugged him tightly. . kissing him on the cheeks. . snatching the chocolate from his hand I ran from there leaving a confused swayam behind under the table.
*FLASHBACK ENDS *
Those memories still feels so fresh and I dint know when I started to cry hysterically. I missed him more than I thought I did. . and finally realization stuck me he was back' but where do I find him I started to panic I searched for any clue that would lead me to him. And I found a note below the chocolate
