Redeeming Love by Shikha Mishra (red queen free ebook .TXT) 📕

Disha's POV

Three years after.

"Don't you know he is my boyfriend." I ask her with a big smile or more like state.

"No you are not. You both are just friends." This girl. I roll my eyes.

"How the hell did you know that we are friends because as for us..... we don't think the same." I say and start playing with my hair. I really want to end this conversation without any waterfall.

"But....but.."

"But.... but what?" I mimic her. A chuckle comes from behind me and I face palm myself.

"You both are so rude and....and insensitive." With that she runs away.

"Happy." I mumble and go to my desk. I have lots of work.

"Thanx." He says.

"Hm." I say and start arranging the  documents for sir to check.

"Did you take her words to heart?" I sign. Keeping the documents on the table I lift my head.

"No Rishabh I didn't. And now it's like a routine to me to hear those words."

"But still you are not rude and about insensitive...you can never be." I nod. I don't care what they say.

"Thanx." I say and give him a big smile. With a satisfied look he leaves for his cubicle. I drop down the smile and get busy with my work.

"Miss Singh in my office now." I hear sir say.

"Right away sir." I shout and bring back the happy look. I take the documents and my note pad and make my way to his office.

"So miss Singh did you prepared the documents." I nod my head and pass the documents to him.

"Your eternal beautiful smile and your hard work always makes my day miss Singh."

"Are you trying to flirt with me sir?" I move my eyes in a jocking way and a full blown smile erupts from him.

"I would have if I was 25 years younger. Oh I wish I was." I shake my head.

"What will Mrs khurana think of this wish of yours?..." I make a thinking look "oh wait I know she will say 'oh Mr khurana your wish will never come true'" I mimic her and we both end up laughing. This is my boss. The best boss I can ever get.

"Jokes apart your smile really does makes my day."

"Thankyou sir for your compliment." I say. Thankfully this natural smile of mine does brightens someone's day. I give him a heads up to all the things to be done today. I make the coffee of his liking and after putting it on his table I get retire to my table to complete all of my work.

I take a deep breath of relief as the day ends without any problem.

"Hey Disha let's eat outside today. What's say?" Rishabh offers.

"Nah. I will pass." I say.

"You say this everytime. During our college days....." the smile vanishes and I glare at Rishabh. He instantly understands the warning "I mean to say you had always been like this."

"I. Will. Come. Next. Time." I grit out. Everyone is getting uncomfortable from my voice and I try to bring back the smile and it does come.

"Promise."

I promise you vihaan that I will never leave you.

Without saying anything I leave. I book a cab and wait for it. It comes after a few minutes. I try to give the cab driver a smile but it doesn't comes even after great effort. I reach home and instantly get inside after paying online.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" I shout loudly. Tears starts spilling from my eyes. I kneel down and ball myself.

Yes I promise you vihaan that I would never leave you. I would be their with you like how your shadow lives with you.

My sobbing sounds fill the whole dark room. The memories are repeating in my head like a tempo.

"Stop it." I shout. It's paining. My heart is in pain. I scratch my hand to feel the physical hurt but it didn't overcomes this pain.

"Please somebody stop it." I mumble. Suddenly I see my engagement ring tucked in the diamond necklace in my neck. My vision blurs.

"Mummyyyyyyy."  I didn't know when my eyes got close because of exhaustion and I let myself fall in the pit of memories knowing they would only give me pain but still wanting to live the memories once more .

I jerk open my eyes. My breathing heavy. I check the time and it's the middle of the night. I wipe away the traces of the tears. I stand up and on the lights. I come face to face with an empty wall. This place is just a residing place it can and never be a home.

I move towards the kitchen and open the fridge. I remove the noodles which I had made during the morning. I heat it and eat it all. I check my phone and see the message from Bhai and different notifications of recharge.

I call him and curse myself as I am calling him at the wrong time and before I can end the call he picks up.

"Hey."

"Hii bhai." I say.

"How are you?"

"I am totally fine. Today was the best as usual....." I clear my throat " but I did went on a dinner with colleagues and that's why I didn't replied to your messages." I say it before he can ask the question.

"Yeah I can hear it in your voice....*yawns*...sorry so what I was saying..yeah I can hear it in your voice. I am happy that you are enjoying your life."

"Hm.." I instantly add "you are right. I am really enjoying it here. How is Bhabhi and little one?" My hands unconsciously goes to my necklace and start playing with it.

"Yeah they are both fine."

"How...how is mummy and dad?" I ask shuttering.

"They are fine."

"Hm. Okay bye I....I am tired and I am sleepy." I mumble.

"Yeah good night."

"Night." I reply and end the call. I gaze at the starry sky.

We are celebrating the new start of our lives today. You have forgiven me and after cutting the cake we will forget about everything and start tomorrow with a new.

I shake my head to get rid of the memories. I take a shower. I let myself fall on the bed.

"Disha you have to smile again tomorrow like it's your best day." I repeat the mantra so that I don't forget it like today. I need more practice and I know I will master it in few months or years. I open the TV and play some random series.
