It has been more than one month now since I joined our company. In this one month I managed to figure out all my assumption on Naina were correct, I managed to extract some details from dad while having a casual conversation with him, he did share many things about Naina. I noticed dad really admire her and he likes to talk about her, he did share some details about her past especially her love story after I insist a lot. Dad did use some colorful names to describe Naina love interest without knowing that he is talking about his own son, and I could not even defend myself. One thing I got to know from the details dad shared is that Naina did not lie anything about me to dad, she only told the truth and she does have a lot of respect on me still, dad is just angry because according to him because of that stupid guy (who is Naina's love interest), he could not make her his daughter in law, she has outrightly rejects the offer when dad proposed her to marry me it seems, well then she is not aware I was the same person who she is in love with. Dad did tell me how stupid she is to still love that person even when she knows her feelings will not be reciprocated and it seems dad did suggested her to go and meet her love interest once to confess her feelings again which she rejects, according to her , her love interest deserves someone far better than her and she will never disturb his life again, she is happy to live with only his memories and treasures the time they had shared together.

After I heard everything from dad, I felt like a stupid to reject her then. I was looking for someone who can truly love me all the while and I went and rejects when that person confesses her feelings. How stupid of me to go and admit my feelings on someone else to her when she tells about her own feelings, how bad she would have felt then. And now its my turn to suffer as she went into mode to fully ignore or avoid me. She even no longer coming to have lunch with dad in office, she just passes the packed lunch to dad's secretary and when he asked, she will give one or other reason to avoid having lunch with us. She mostly goes to site now to avoid being in office and face me. In this one-month span, I have only met her like 3 to 4 times, that is also only during meetings, the rest of times she is totally running in the opposite side from where I am. I did try to take hold of her few times, but she somehow manages to escape, and I really need to talk with her about us. After knowing everything I have decided that I want her in my life, I might still not be in love with her, call me selfish or whatsoever but I could not miss someone like her. I need her and I will make sure to make her mine.

I was checking my work emails when a particular email attracts my attention. What the hell was it, it was the email from Naina, her resignation email. What the crap is she thinking she is doing now, just to avoid me she wants to resign. I cannot approve it , not only due to my personal reason but professionally as well, she is really a good talent which is hard to get, when I check the records, we did receive many good reviews from our clients before for the projects that she handle, I need to talk and negotiate with her. I asked my secretary to call her to meet me in my room. She came after good 15 minutes, she seems to be tensed and was playing with her fingers after greeting me. She was still standing Infront of my desk, playing with her fingers and her face fully focus downwards, she seems to be waiting for me to initiate the conversation. I just gave a call to my secretary via intercom informing him not to disturb me, I then get up from my seat and move towards her with my predatory steps. I am really angry now, how she can even think of getting away from me. When she sensed me walking towards her, she started to move behind, soon she was backed with wall behind her and me caging her on either side not letting her to move. I can see her getting scared and her light brown eyes bulged almost popping out of their socket. She started to shutter while asking what I am doing when I just asked her why she wants to resign, she just downcast her eyes and replied while shuttering that she has her own personal reason which she do not want to disclose, after me insisting few more times without bulging she finally told that she is going to get married in three months hence she wants to resign. That's it, this increases my anger to another level, how she can even think about marrying someone else when she is all mine, I could not uphold myself anymore, I just get hold of her cheeks using my hands and attached my lips to hers, I started to kiss her angrily, I know this is most probably her first kiss as she has only loved me throughout her life but I could not withhold myself, I want to show her that she belongs to me and only me. I started to kiss her angrily at first which soon turn into a passionate one, while she has gone into a statue mode, she seems to be in total shock. I tried to control myself, but I could not detach myself from those luscious lips. I have been with many girls, but I have never felt like this with any of them. She is making me crazy. After God knows how long, I released her lips when I felt she is getting breathless to take a quick breath, only for me to kiss her back, this time more passionately, she still not respond back to my kiss neither pushing me away. I am not even able to think of her being with someone else other than me, I know now that I need her more than she needs me. I am getting attached to her faster than what I thought. Again, after not sure how long I slowly released her lips, she started to breath heavily with her eyes closed. I attached my forehead to hers and announced while still breathing deeply, "Naina, look, your are all mine, so never I repeat never say that you will marry someone else, or else I don't know what I will do. I know I did a big blunder in the past but for that I could not miss you, I need you in my life so please do not avoid me again, please give me another chance'. She just opens her eyes to look into mine, there is a trail of tears falling from her eyes, she just looked deeply into my eyes for few seconds before pushing me away and leaving from my room. I did not try to stop her as I know she needs time to digest everything which I told her.

It has been two days since the little encounter we had in my room, Naina is on leave since then. I happened to have meeting with her team today, so when I asked about her, they said that she is sick for the past two days hence she is on medical leave. I know whatever happened between us must have shocked her, but I did not expect her to fall sick due to that, I really wants to meet her, so without wasting any time, I asked my secretary to run this meeting on my behalf and I left to her home. I found her address from the office database and luckily, she still stays at the same place. While passing through the familiar streets to her home, I was hit by the nostalgia moment of eight years back of how I met her and how I started to drop her after the tuition, all our conversations and her innocent questions. She is still as innocent as she was before. Once reached her home, I pressed the calling bell, after like 10 minutes she open the door, she was wearing a cute mickey mouse pajama, she is still a kid by heart, but her face looked really pale and her eyes is bloodshot red.
