A promise: That changed my life

Chapter 27: Getting adjusted with my loneliness

Rena

"Sure, I will be right back with that file, don't worry," Vishal said and disappears after smiling at me for the last time.

"Karan sir-" I was about to call him when the door swung open and Rhea ma'am was standing at the entrance.

"Hey, Karan, Should I come in?" She asks in her usual girly tone, and he nods annoyingly, indicating her to sit down.

"What brings you here?" He asked, bored.

"I was here to invite you to Ronnie's bday party tomorrow," She says as Karan looks up at her with a lifted brow.

"Ohh, it's already my little boy's birthday?!" He chuckles, happily, "Sure, I will be there, I can't wait to see him again!"

"I know, right? He'll be happy to see you too." She says, gleaming at him.

When a call interrupted him, "I am sorry, I need to take this one, " He told us and went outside to answer as Rhea ma'am turned towards me with a glare.

"You can't do a little thing!" Rhea ma'am yelled at me while slamming her hand down on the wood table.

"What can I do if he is no longer interested in me…" I dragged, guiltily.

"Shut up! You will make him interested in you when you want to have a relationship with him! But not when I need a little help from you!" She taunted me badly, "I think you are purposely doing it! Because I know you love Karan!" She hissed at me.

"It's nothing like that, I swear, I tried, give me another chance and I will prove it to you," I said, catching her glare on me.

"Another chance?" She repeats, spits fully, "my foot! Karan is not a stupid guy who won't realize that you are trying so hard to seduce him, he will quickly guess it, and then we both will be over!" She clarified angrily.

"I am sorry." I pleaded.

"I don't need your fu*cking Sorry! Get lost out of here!" She said, throwing the tissue paper box at my head, "you don't need to show me your face ever again!"

Karan returned with a confused look on his face, "Did something happen in my absence?" He asks, puzzled.

"Not at all, we'll wait for you and Adah, bye, see ya." She said and left.

"Sir, I am going to get a coffee for myself, do you want one?"

He shook his head, "No, I am good, you can go."

I nodded and walked out of the office while massaging my head in the process, she is mean, rude, and…..Leave it! I don't want to ruin my mood by even thinking about her! She didn't give me any money for the risk I was taking! Bitch! Ughhh!

Calm down, Rena, Calm down!

I need a strong coffee.

Vishal

I came back to the office, handing Karan sir the file, I suppose to meet his wife but I ended up meeting Sunny again but it doesn't matter since we both are getting close.

On my way down to the corridor through the elevator, I mistakenly crashed onto Rena as she was coming inside at the same time I was going out, she had the cup of coffee in her hand that fell on my shirt.

"Ohh shit! Are you okay?" She asks.

"Yeah, but maybe not my shirt." I joked as she laughed.

"I am sorry, I didn't notice you coming, " She says, smiling guiltily.

"It's fine, should I buy you another coffee?" I asked softly.

She shook her head, "Please no! Don't make me more embarrassed! I ruined your shirt already!"

"It's okay, I have another pair of them, let me change it and we will go to the cafe together afterward," I told her. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

She smiled, "Fine if you insist." She says.

After coming out from the changing room, I saw her waiting for me in the cafeteria, "Thanks for waiting." I told her, "What else do you like to have?"

She thinks, "Hmm, anything veg…"

"Ohh, I'm also a vegetarian!"

She grinned, "Really?" I nodded, "Good to know." I bought some veg burgers for us, sitting on the corner table.

"You know, I don't like to sit in noise," I added, gesturing at the people who are talking more and eating less, giving my head pain.

"Yes, me too, I don't get how people can just talk in the eatery." She joins me.

"It's too boring to be alone sometimes, you know…" I stated, jokingly.

"Ohh that means are you alone too?" She inquires, curiously.

"Yes, sort of, you can say, but I am getting adjusted with my loneliness nowadays." I mocked myself.

"Same here, and sometimes it's too hard to cope up with it, " She replied, sadly.

I smirked, "Why? Don't you have a boyfriend? You look beautiful, I doubt how can you even stay single till date." I told her honestly, she blushed at my compliment.

"Thanks and I don't have anyone whom I can call my boyfriend, but what about you, any girlfriend?"

I furrowed my brows before cracking into a fit of laughter, "No, I am totally single-" What the heck am I saying?! I am not single, I love Siya, she loves me too, so why did those words leave my mouth?!

Ran snaps her fingers at my face, "Where are you?"

I fake a smile, "Just here."

"Okay, I need to go now, but if you don't mind, can we go on a movie date on Sunday?" She asked.

"I-I, sure."

"Great, I will text you my address and time, bye." With that she left, leaving me in the state where I was processing my own damn words! I should have to say no to her! But why on earth did I say Yes to her movie date?! What's wrong with me?! Ohh, God!
