17 Her Last Words May Come True (1/2)
Aliya was the only one who had no regret to eat salads and soups in lunch. She eats this everyday. Seeing how Rishi was forcefully gulping food made her lunch more special. It was a delight to see him like this.
Rishi was enjoying his lunch only because of one reason -Aliya. The 'boring' lunch was over. Everyone returned to their work. Mr.Gera was returning with Rishi to his cabin when he noticed that Rishi wasn't leaving even a chance to take a glance of Aliya.After what happened in the morning,it was already clear to the whole office that Rishi and Aliya knew each other very well since years. That is why their boss is lenient towards Aliya and Aliya also had no fear of Rishi. Mr.Gera courageously asked Rishi
”Mr.Rishi if you dont mind may I ask you a question?”
”Hmm”
”Did you know Aliya before she joined here?”
Rishi didn't had any response for a few seconds and then he avoided the question by saying
”If this question was important for any kind of project or work then I could have answered. But I dont find this relevant to any.”
”Sorry sir.”
”I want you to postpone today's meetings for tomorrow.”
”Sir, is there any emergency?”
”No.”
”Okay!”

Rishi was in his cabin recalling his past. He was in deep thoughts
'Whenever I see her I am always reminded of my mistakes. Even if she wasn't there with me for since years, I've changed because of her. I know I've played with her feelings but I want her to forgive me. In all these years I've always wished that if we could reunite. I remember her last words. And it seems that it may come true. If she doesn't accepts my apology then I will definitely rub my nose on floor. I'll do whatever I can for her. Aliya, I've secretly loved you for 10 years. Of course as people say, 'You dont know the value of things when you possess, you come to know the value only when you lose it.' I know my life is incomplete without you. Please come back. You need to listen to my side too.'
Rishi made a decision to confess everything to Aliya. As you say 'the word 'impossible' itself says 'I'm possible', he took this impossible task to accomplish. So he passed a message to Aliya that she will be doing overtime in office to attend a meeting.
