Chapter 17: Chapter 17

Third Person's P.O.V.

Entering the cabin, Tithy found Ruhaan sitting on his chair that was back facing her. She started to report Ruhaan about the progress of the current project of different departments in detail.

When she almost got finished, she found another person sitting on Ruhaan's chair and staring at her shockingly. Being confused she looked around the cabin whether by any chance mistakenly she went to another cabin.

Soon her confusion turned into anger and she started yelling "who the hell are you and what the hell are you doing in this cabin and how dare you sit on this chair?"

Facing the nonstop angry outburst, the person got dumbstruck. Getting no answer, Tithy started again. "Can't you see? This is Ruhaan sir's cabin"

While going on with her blabbering she indicated the name plate written as RUHAAN AHMED and continued saying, "You know sometime you should use your two so big eyes."

The person being extremely annoyed cut her off as her blabbering seemed to have no stoppage.

"Listen, you just crossed your limit. I am very much well-known to the fact that this is Ruhaan Ahmed's cabin and I am.."

Before he could finish his sentence, Tithy angrily cut him off, "Oh I see you have a mouth to speak. Then you should have stopped me when I was reporting the project progress in detail. Wait a moment. Don't tell me you are a thief and you are here to steal some information about our current project. That's it. I am calling the security."

The person just screamed, "Just shut up. Who the hell are you and where is Ruhaan?"

"Show some respect to him and about me, I am.."

Before she could complete, Ruhaan entered the cabin. Hearing the sound of door opening both of them turned towards the door.

Seeing Ruhaan, Tithy again started, "Sir, this man was sitting on your chair and was trying to.." Tithy uttered the later words whispering slowly as she saw them hugging.

"When did you arrive! You should have called me and what are you doing here?" Ruhaan asked that person while hugging him.

Staring at Tithy, he answered, "Stealing your project information I guess."

Ruhaan asked him shockingly, "What?!"

Glancing an angry look at that person, Tithy turned to Ruhaan, "Sir, it's not my fault. I was just doing my job. Actually when I came to your cabin for briefing you project progress, he was sitting on your chair in disguise and heard almost of my full reporting. Now sir you tell me, shouldn't he supposed to interrupt me if I was mistaken? But no. he didn't. He just.."

The person cut her off and said, "Oh oh. Give it a break. I was not in any type of disguise and You know what? You should sometime take a breath while going on with your BLABBERING and for your kind information I am not a THIEF." giving extra emphasis on two words.

Hearing him, Tithy gave him a deadly glare and asked, "What did you say about me? I was doing what?"

Ruhaan was just staring at both of them being nostalgic but came to earth being disturbed by their argument. And when their argument seemed never ending, he slightly shouted, "Stop it both of you."

"I am sorry, Sir." Tithy apologized to Ruhaan immediately.

"It's okay Titly. You can go now"

"What did you just call her name, Vai?" Ruhaan became silent realizing his mistaken word.

When Tithy turned to leave, she heard him asking Ruhaan the question but she was very much of shocked finding about their relation. Being afraid of losing her job, she turned to answer his question and apologize "Sir, I am Tithy, Ruhaan sir's secretary and I apologize for my previous behavi..."

But that person didn't let her finish. Cutting her off, he said, "I am Shaan. Now please leave."

When Tithy left the cabin, Shaan turned to Ruhaan, "She is not OUR Titly vai." Ruhaan turned to Shaan for once then again diverted his eyes. Both of them became silent but some similar sadness and pain became visible in their eyes.

After a while Ruhaan spoke up, "Shaan, go home. I will meet you there."

Shaan turned to Ruhaan and uttered sadly, "But vai.."

Ruhaan cut him off and said with a pleading look, "Shaan, please."

Smiling sadly at Ruhaan, Shaan nodded and left from there.

Ruhaan's P.O.V.

When I saw Shaan, I was happy. But the promise I made earlier, came to my mind. Besides the argument happened between Shaan and Tithy was making me go back to that days.

"What should I do now?" thinking like this, I sat on the chair and some memories made their way to my mind automatically.

I was lying in my bed being tired after working for several hours on a project.

Titly entered my room shouting like, "Vai, what's the problem of this guy?"

I sat with a thud and asked her, "Who are you talking about, Titly?"

She replied with a sarcastic voice, "Who else! Your loving brother."

"Oh. Then it's nothing serious."  I whispered smilingly to myself but to my not so good luck, she heard me.

"What did you say?" She asked me with a deadly glare.

The smile of my face automatically faded away and I asked her with a forced serious tone, "What did he do this time, sweetie?"

"What did he do? Wait, I am telling you. You know I was talking to Ma and Aunty and he just entered the room and started arguing with me. You tell me. Can't I .."

Finding a way to go on with her talking, she started but Shaan entered my room and cut her off saying, "Titly, don't you get tired while going on with your blabbering? Take a breath at least."

Titly turned to Ruhaan and pointing at Shaan, she said, "Vai, see. Did you hear him?  You tell me, am I blabbering?"

Titly turned to Ruhaan and waited for him to answer for a few moments and before he could say something, she again started looking at Shaan, "Even if I am blabbering, what's your problem? I just don't understand this." Titly stopped speaking glaring deadly at Shaan.

I was controlling my laugh for the whole time but at last I burst out laughing without bothering the glaring look of Titly at me.

But when Titly uttered angrily, " Vaaaii."  my laughter stopped at instance.

Being upset, Titly went out of my room and I turned to Shaan.

"What's this, buddy? Can't you two let pass a single time of meeting without going on with your Tom and Jerry act?"

Shaan laughed at me slightly and said, " Sorry vai but Actually no."

Glaring at him when I was about to go to Titly, he stopped me, "Vai, I will go and check on her. Don't worry."

With a sigh I said, "What should I do with you two?"

He just remained smiling without answering me.

Then I said again, "Now gooo"

With the same smiling face, he left my room.

Then I sat on my bed while thinking, "These two will never grow up"

I came out of my thought remembering Shaan's earlier face which was so full of life. But the face today I saw was cold and emotionless.

"No. I can't let him go on like this. I have to do something. But what?"

My chain of thought broke hearing a knock at my door. When I said, "Come in."

With a smiling face, Tithy entered my cabin.
