Alya
Nature, work and living. These three words are precious for the living people. With the balance of these comes another force in hand which makes the life sometimes perfect yet fulfilling. Love. Love is one such emotion that gives a fulfilling life, yet it can make a person empty and numb. When love is their people can breathe. When love hurts people become a broken defeated puppet ready to throw itself out. It causes pain beyond imagination. Such was happening to Alya. The person in front of her was her Brian. Yet from his words she can see he does not recognize her. Her breath stopped her heart felt like it was gone somewhere. Things felt cold at times numb. She could not utter a word. It felt like all those moments between them were lost never there. At first glance she felt as if this was not her Brian. She knew her Brian close from those eyes and that voice the strength and power, yet he does not act like he remembers.
"Miss Greenfield I am waiting" said Brian.
Alya snapped out of the trance she has been into. She straightened up quickly removed all the thoughts from her brain. "Yes Sir, I will bring it here right away sir." She replied slightly tilting her head and left to do the bidding. She reached back towards her desk everything seemed to slow down while she walked back nothing made sense or worthwhile. Her legs don't move the way it was supposed to be rather they moved on their own accord. She straightened her head Brian must have forgotten her or deliberately trying to ignore the fact they know each other. One thing was perfectly clear in her head. This is not the Brian she knew no this is Brian Heimlich the famous Dairy company CEO. Not her pain in the behind Brian. This was just her boss. She quickly walked back to the desk and gave him the file. Brian looked through the file and asked again" Have you gone through it?"
" Yes Sir, I have and highlighted the possible changeable clauses." replied Alya
"No need." replied Brian
" I am sorry sir but why no need?" asked Alya clearly they can avoid some words.
" Miss Greenfield since you are new in this place I would like to guide you to the fact that I do not like to explain myself each and every decision I made. It is the task of the workers to trust my words or at least work out why I say what. Make sure that you do not question me again am I clear?". said Brian
'Alya got angry and thought dang 'he is not just a pain in the behind he is worse now.' none the less she nodded and said" I am sorry sir it won't happen again"
"Good. Now go back to your desk and I will call you if I need anything" said Brian.
Alya left her feet dragged her back half of her body wanted to turn around and say 'Brian don't you remember me ? I am Alya' But she can totally see Brian is ignoring the fact he knows her. 'Very well Brian Heimlich you will get what you want since you do not remember me I will not remember you. From now on we just meet for the first time.' thought Alya. She sat humped and puffed all pissed yet relaxed herself to get back to work. She turned on her computer, but she could not look at the screen tears filled her eyes. All the while things felt hard and heavy she broke down within moments she kept having memories of them together. She let her tears flow without thinking she leaned back still eyes on the screen and let her head touch the desk top tears came out of her eyes and dropped on her skirt. She straightened herself took a tissue and mirror her make up became a little runny. As she dabbed her eyes and retouched she finally sat straight breathed and walked out she needs a coffee. .......
7:00 pm
Times up Alya packed her bags and walked towards the elevator. She clicked the call button waiting for it. When the door opened she walked in and as such so did Brian behind her. They stood on the elevator side by side, yet she could not stop glancing at him after every second.
"Miss Greenfield please make sure that you are present at the board meeting tomorrow." said Brian.
Alya just gasped "How horrible can this man get? First he does not acknowledge her next he orders her around. " She nodded her head "Yes Sir"
The doors opened with a ding sound and he just walked out. He walked Alya moved and kept walking behind him. His steps are like guidance the way he walks made her walk behind him. He is like a light letting her follow around all others are not there. She walked and walked till Brian came towards the door.
A car came around lovely grey Porsche and out came a lady with bright orange dress and heels. She was all perfect and beautiful. Alya came to a standstill and watched again the slow motion kicked in. The lady came out of the car and walked towards Brian. The young women came, and kissed Brian and they left hugging each other.
It seemed like Alya was slapped again. "Brian has a lover and I had feelings for him." Alya just walked out like a zombie. She bumped to a lady she just got up and rubbed her head "oops sorry I wasn't looking" said Alya. " Hey Alya, let me help you up" said Megan. "Wanna join us for a drink?" asked Megan. Alya saw Megan with another girl she recognize her from the department and secretary of Brian, Helea.
She looked at them and started to reply but changed her mind "I don't dr.... . Yeah I think I need a break." ................
