31 Please Leave (1/2)
Aliya was of course prompting Rishi to reveal the truth as if he had stashed away those true facts in his heart. Although she knew everything, but if Rishi confesses then she might consider in at least talking to him in a nicer way. But there were no signs that Rishi would even utter a word. It was evident to Aliya when he averted his eyes and started looking out of the window. As Aliya was a 'not-so patient' lady, she again asked
”Are you sure you won't answer, sir?”
”I don't want to answer. And don't ask why. Because you know it.”
”What do I know?” Aliya was suspicious that maybe Bhavna has told him something.
”The car has come to halt. We have reached hotel. I think you should have some rest now. The doctor said its fine if you work but I insist you not to do so. We had to change the location because for the previous one we couldn't get permission. There is some terrorist danger. The place is on high alert. It is shut for now. The current location is quite far. And so Bhavna had to leave. But will you come tomorrow if you are okay with it?”
”I would like to have rice and some soup. What about you?”
”What!? Are you okay?”
”That's my point! Are you okay! What I had asked and what did you said! Do you find anything relatable?”
”Aliya I said it before. I won't answer as you already know it.”
”What if I say I don't know anything?”
”Then please leave.”
”What!?”
”You heard it correct. Please leave. I am fed up of running behind you. I can't convince you anymore. I am done with you.”
”When did you convince me? When where you running behind me?”
”I was, I was. Do you remember the lunch timings which I changed? I did so to see you. To spend time with you. I know it was childish. I postponed my meetings to confess to you. Do you know why I made you Bhavna's assistant? Because I wanted to spend time with you.”
”So?”
”Are you still not bothered about what I feel? Don't you know what I did in these past 10 years?”
”How would I know that?”
And here she was half-succeeded. Of course now it was time to for Rishi to do the revelation.
”Oh ya! How would you know!”
