After all the hustle of the previous day , I somehow got myself together and headed to work . I kept my phone silent the entire day and focused on my project. Suddenly , I heard a knock on my cabin. I asked to come in and to my annoyance , Aron came . He was dressed in black shirt with a deep blue tie and grey trousers. He looked good with his hair brushed well and his light moustache. He was holding a pile of papers. He asked me with a deep and composed tone, "Good Morning , Melissa , meeting at 10 am , be on time". He smiled and went away without listening my answer. I was not feeling well that day maybe because of the new medicine I was on. It was 9:30 am and I still had half an hour to put myself together. I got myself a cup of coffee and rested on my chair thinking of my teenage life.

I was a jolly girl as far as I can remember . I was sincere in studies and in swimming . Swimming was one of those many hobbies I loved . I got prices for it too. I loved to write poems and most of them really turned out good. I had many friends but I didn't get along with them well. They were more popular , outgoing , fashionable and showing. I was more of a composed and high valued women. I hated parties and clubs . It was most of the time me and some close friends of mine named Cal . He was a trustworthy guy and he still contacts me now. But due to lack of time , we two have become busy in our lives. I didn't tell him about meeting Aron yet. He knows everything about me and supports me in every direction like a true friend. He is already engaged with Emmy , a sweet natured girl . They have been together for 11 years now and I think that's the nest compatibility. He has invited me to this wedding which is about s month later. Perhaps , that's the time we would get to catch up each others life.{maybe}

So returning back to my empty cup of coffee that is still in my hand. I looked at the clock and it was 10 min before 10. I hurried to the powder room and touched up myself. I still feel a little off but would be fine. When I came outside , I saw Fritz waiting for me. He wished me morning and we both went to the conference room. My place was beside Aron and Fritz was just opposite of mine. I sat with the other authorities and the meeting started. I noticed that Aron is looking at my left wrist scars and I quickly covered it with my sleeves. He looked unsatisfied and I looked the opposite side , my head facing his face. It was a solid 2 hr meeting and when the lunch bell finally rang , all the authorities got up . We thanked them and they departed. When I was going to depart , I felt a sudden stinging pain on my head and without keeping control over myself , I collapsed. I was experiencing difficulty in breathing and my hands and feet were becoming cold , shaking and trembling. Everything went quiet and I felt numb. I woke up and could see white ceilings and my left hand was held by Aron who was asleep by my side. I moved a little and it startled Aron. He looked at me and smiled, "Good morning again". I was confused and pushed myself up when I noticed that my arms had channels attached. "hey hey, relax" , Aron said . "What happened?" , I exclaimed. He got up and called the nurse while I was still suspecting the situation. "You went through a seizure , it could have been fatal but luckily it didn't. The earlier medicines didn't work right for your body and it resulted in this" , Arin said pointing at me. The nurse came followed by the doctor .He checked the monitor and looked at my eyes and heart rate. He just nodded his head and asked me whether I know Aron. I nodded and he asked a min with Aron personally. I twitched my eyebrows and the doctor moved with Aron. I heard Fritz voice after a while and I smiled as he came worrying for me. "How are you , I am so sorry I came late. I completed your work so that you would have no trouble today". I was surprised by his move. "Thanks Fritz , that was so kind of you , thank you , really thanks." He smiled and gave me a small bouquet with a note saying ' GET WELL SOON , MELI.'

Today's plan for THAI TONIC got cancelled.

Aron came in and looked at the bouquet. He asked Fritz to go outside and wait. After Fritz left , Aron came to me. I was feeling afraid by his stone look. He spoke up " Melissa , your health is not that satisfactory and you need to be kept under observation. You are restricted to fly so you cannot go home , thus , by the concern from your parents , they have told me to take care of you." "What do you mean ? am I still a ..." I shuttered when I saw his bloodshot eyes at me. "You will stay at my house for a week and after that with the doctor's permission , u are free" his voice cold and commanding. Without waiting for my reply , he went away. I cannot stay at Aron's. God! Why all the bad things happen to me. He moved far from me years ago and today , he wants me close? Why?

The following day , I moved to Aron's house. His house is big with furnished floors and a small coffee cum book station. I saw that my clothes were already brought from my wardrobe. I remembered him asking for my apartment key .And now I realised why. "hey . there's your room" , Aron pointed the left hand room which had blue curtains , the bed was made beautifully and there was a powder room attached. My favourite colour is blue. He knew it .I thanked him and went to my room. I am feeling alright today but still needs some rest. I looked at my list of medicines and there were more injections than pills. Aron told me to freshen up and I followed his command. We both were off work today and I suddenly remembered my phone that I left . "have you seen my phone?" I asked Aron . "yeah , it's with me. You cannot get it until you fully recover as you have to be on rest." "I answered Fritz message and told him not to disturb you and you parents would call me if they need to speak with you" Aron answered with firmness. "What do you think of yourself? Give me back my phone at once" I said with anger. He got up from his chair and came closer to me until my back touched the wall. I breathe heavily. He was just some centimetres away from me and I could feel his warm breathe touching me. He looked at me and said "I won't", his voice commanding. I was taken aback when he left the room. I got myself up and went to the washroom to have a shower. When I came back from the shower , I smelled something delicious. I brushed my hair and looked into the mirror. I was wearing a sweatshirt and it looked kind of hot on me. Nevermind , I followed the smell and I saw Aron cooking lunch. I was excited and ran towards him when I fell on the ground and everything seemed blank.

After sometime , I could sense something in my hand . Aron was sitting by my side , brushing my hair with his hands and constantly looking at my eyes. When I opened my eyes , he exclaimed " hey , you cam hear me right" . "yes, where am I?" I asked. "It's fine , you just lost your senses when u fell on the ground, come eat something as there are medicines left , its already 2 pm". I nodded and with his help , I went to the table and had my lunch. It was delicious , the noodles were perfectly steamed with the chicken right on top of it. After lunch , I came to my room and sat down. Aron came to give my injection. "Ok , pull up your sleeves , it will just take a min" he said. While disinfecting my hand , he saw me taking deep breathes , my head bent facing the ceiling and my eyes closed with the fear of needles. "You said that u aren't a kid , so why r u afraid of needles?" he laughed. "Many grown-ups are there who are afraid of needles" I defended. He just smirked it off and prepared the needles , slowly injecting it to my hand and it didn't pain that much but it made me weak. He saw me becoming unconscious and cautiously placed my head on the bed. While he was preparing to leave , I held his hand and he came closer to my bed. I softly asked him to stay and he nodded. He sat by my side and I slowly put my hands over his and he moved his thumb over my hand like he is telling me that everything would be alright . I could hear a warm breath closer to my face and then I was shocked to realise that he has implanted a kiss on my forehead. I fell asleep and I could still feel his warmth within. Feelings are the most vulnerable things a human can ever experience and it also weakens us against our own will.
