3 years later

Forcefully wake out of sudden in bright morning with blurry visions ,all I could sense a room filled with rose aroma, switching ON the fan I felt my body must have heated over for it sudden stiffness . My tample was soaked with sweat, as I started checking my environment.

"It was a nightmare!!!! Alas!!!Finally" I've relieved..

This was the dream that was haunting from 3 years, like its happened yesterday. I could feel my eyes swollen , fingers and legs  numb. It's really unbearable at some times that forcefully I have to wake my body from that sudden anxiety attacks.

I could still clearly remember everything happened that night, but one thing I could never understand what happened that  after I got blacked out. I was on our bed safe and sound blanket covering me and my stuff, everything was on place.

Only a note on the table " Don't ever show your face to me". I was shocked to see the house empty all the things except mine was all gone, only walls and floors remaining there.

Flashhhh..." ..Slapping my face harder as I don't want to remember anything  from the past. It's been 3 years to that night that it's still affects me in a way.

Ringggggggggg....!!!! Shocked to see my alarm  bell ringing all of sudden but more shocking to see the time.. It's been 11:14am.

"Oh God, I'm fired today " I got up as I hurried in bathroom to do my daily routine. Came back to piles of clothing busted in my cupboard as I opened it felled down on the floor. Ya!!!!! Not this time. I took all the clothes and pushed them forcefully in the cupboard were there place lays.

I dressed up,in  floral top and skinny jeans to go with it. As I'm was not having any more time to search for anything else. I hurried to the kitchen to take some instant breakfast items like bread jam or butter or at least a coco bar, nuts something, that will carry me until lunch break.

I opened the door of my refrigerator to see nothing but water bottles and some bottles of tomato sauce. " God!! " I forgot to buy this month's groceries! ..

I cursed as I got nothing to eat, this days I'm been living like a sloth only sleeping, when I'm home. That I forgot to get any groceries.

Put my foot forward to the basement of my building ,thinking to eat from fast food truck back of my office, as I checked my wallet only with less amount that I could only afford steet food.   " How broke am I, that I don't have enough money to buy food for myself " I hushed but then I remembered that more then half of my salary goes to the EMIs of the apartment I'm living in.

It's better then paying rents monthly at least I have a place to call home that no one could gets me out of it. " you have to endure it " I said with patting my tummy.

I put out my thumb for a cab when my phone Ringggggggggg" not now i'm late, if it's from credit card company I swear they gonna get yelling from me " I took my phone out from my bag in anger to see, a smily face on the screen.

" Hello James " I said as my anger turned down after I heard a melodic voice on line.

" Hello Alex!  What your doing? up from sleep ? His voice is so melodic that could make you fall asleep. I just can't handle the way he speaks like he is a parent that speaking to his child.

" Huh! What do you mean by doing? " I got snapped out " isn't it time for work? do you already got in office?? " I asked in curiosity that he was sounding like he was just up from his sleep.

" what do you mean by office. Oh Alex! Don't tell me that you forgot today is Sunday??

" What the hell!! " I cursed inside my mind. How could I forget how??  I smacked my head with my bag. Such a dumbo. Today is Sunday! weekend. Yaa...

"oh thank you James if you haven't, reminded me of today, my forgetful a*s could already have stood before the closed office gate.

"I heard a laugh over the other line of phone, it's might be a joke for a perfect employee as he was. My cheeks flushed red in embarrassment.

"it's OK its happened sometimes "his laugh has stopped by now but I could sense he is still smiling on this joker.

"It's can only be happening with me and no one else"i said in lower tone to hide my embarrassing voice.

"no!  It's happened with me aswell  lots of time, when I was in school I usually got confused over some days" he quickly responded as he do not wanted me to feel alone in this embarrassing situation.

"By the way I called you to asked you, if your free today let's catch up for lunch?" His voice feels like, his hopes are up today. James is my senior he work as sales manager. Very popular in female employees, but never even once gave any other female employees any hopes or signs.

Even after countless of flirting, his eyes never ever flinched for them. But from the start of my working days in Crystal. I could feel his attraction towards me.

He never approached any other women in office on there first day the way he did to me, from then on we both are good friends.

Yes good friends! many times he tried to ask me out but I ignored that question, because I'm still not ready , for another relationship. As my last one in which I genuinely put my love and efforts in broken apart dirtly.

And now, I firstly wanted to focus merely on my career.

" Alex are you there?  Why aren't you answering?"I got back by his voice. What should I do I don't have enough money with me. How will we be able to split the bill?. It would be embarrassing if I made if pay alone. It's better to decline.

" hmm...  James , I'm today.. I'm it's " I was mumbling as to what reason should I give him to postpone the lunch date.

" Alex! I have a good news, and I wanted to celebrate it with you so let have a small meat party it's my treat today " he said in excitement.

Raaa.....My stomach growled on his mentioning of meat.

It's OK if it's a celebration lunch.

didn't we give treats to others, if we have some great news to share. And I can't afford to say no I'm really hungry.

"OK!  Let's meet for lunch" I said in mild tone to hide my excitement on the thought of free food.

"so lets meet up the place near you?, how about dinning hall restaurant, it's near you place "

" That's place is too much expensive, and by the way it's takes one month to book a reservation in there. " thinking of other places in my mind which are more cheaper.

" No problem ! I've already got the reservations " he said as like he was already planning  everything before hand.

I felt something is fishy in here, but hunger in my stomach, stopping me to over think on this topic.

" OK I'll be there in minutes, you go and have a sit and order something ,I will be there in no time" he said in happy tone.

" sure " as I hangup his call. My mind was telling me that there really something big going be Happen . But my stomach..! So lets go there. I don't want to waste my remaining energy in thinking. Let's face it if something really happens....
