love In Dark

Damien was smiling looking at the pastries kept in front of him when suddenly there was a knock on the door of his office.

Secretary: Boss, it's time for the meeting.

Damien: ohkk.

Damien keeps his pastries carefully in the cabinet as if they are not pastries but some precious thing. After that he goes for a meeting. On the other hand Amelia was sitting at her desk and working. Then Rihaan, their team leader, arrives there.

Rihaan : Good morning everyone. Everyone please keep your work aside for now and pay attention to what I am saying.

Everyone puts their work aside and pays attention to what Rihaan is saying.

Rihaan : Actually I have to make an announcement. Right now our company is working on the development of a new project. In this project, we have to work on a new software. Right now there is a lot of competition in technology development. God knows how many companies are involved in this project. Hence, we will have to pay extra attention to this project. In this project, we are going to present the new software of all the companies at the international level. And hence it is our responsibility to see that our project becomes the most successful in this competition.

All the employees were as shocked as they were excited after hearing Rihaan's words.Rihaan explains further.

Rihaan: We have to put all our efforts in this project and this project has to be successful. And yes, if we make this project successful, then everyone will get an international trip from our company.

All the employees become very happy after hearing about the trip and if they get success in this project then they will get this trip.

Rihaan : So everyone is ready...…

Everyone: yess...…

Rihaan : So put your effort into this project…..

Everyone: yess…..

Rihaan : Best of luck to all.

From there, Rihaan goes to his cabin. Everyone was talking about the trip and the project, after that, everyone got busy with their work. While working, it becomes lunch time. Amelia and her friends meet in the cafeteria. Today, everyone in the office was discussing the project.

Abhi : Today everyone in the office is talking about the project only.

Max : Yes, I am also very excited about the project.

Kiet : If we become successful, we will get an international trip.

Tina : Yes, we have to work hard.

Amelia: Actually, this is our first big project, so we will have to work very hard.

Everyone enjoys their lunch while talking like this. After lunch, everyone gets busy with their work. It is evening, office time is over, everyone leaves the office one by one and heads towards their homes. All five friends reach the bus stop while having fun. One by one everyone goes back to their homes. Only Amelia and Tina are left behind.

Tina : Amy, you are excited for the project.

Amelia: yess Tina....Well, I want to tell you something.

Tina : Yes, tell me what is the matter.

Amelia: Actually yesterday I was waiting for the bus at the bus stop but due to rain no bus came. After some time a car was standing in front of me and that car was of our boss…..

Tina was a little surprised to hear Amelia's words. Amelia moves the conversation forwarded.

Amelia: After that the boss gave me a lift till home. I also said sorry to him for my rudeness.

Tina : Good, you did well. By the way, what did the boss say, did he get angry at you?

Amelia: I don't know whether he is angry with me or not but he did not say anything to me.

Tina : It is a good thing, I told you not to think too much, the boss will not angry with you.

Amelia: Thank you. Can I tell you one thing…

Tina : yess.

Amelia: You are really a very good friend.

Tina : We are friends. There are no formalities in friendship.

After that Amelia's bus arrives and from there Amelia goes towards her house. As soon as Amelia comes home she sees that her best friend Tom had come home.

Amelia: Tom when did you arrive?

Tom smiles at Amelia and answers.

Tom : I have come long ago, you have just come madam.

Then Amelia's mother comes and says.

Amelia's mother: You're home Amy.

Amelia: yess , mom.

Amelia's mother: The thing is Amy, today there was a big order for tiffin service so I needed help in delivering it, you were not there so I called Tom.

Amelia: So the delivery is done, mom.

Amelia's mother: Some things have happened, some are still left.

Amelia: No problem mom, I have come, I will do it.

Amelia's mother: But you are not tired Amy, you have just come, you are tired from the job.

Amelia: No problem mom, I will do it. Tom will also have some work to do.

Amelia's mother: ohkk.

Tom : Hey both of you are deciding everything on your own. And madam you are forgetting that along with your friend I am also aunt's son. I will not have any problem in doing their work.

Amelia: You don't have any problem but you have no work. What will happen to your practice?

Tom : I have completed my practice today. And let's do one more thing, both of us will go on my bike, the delivery will happen soon.

Amelia's mother: Hey Amy, it's good that you both go on Tom's bike, it will be better as the work will get done quickly.

Amelia likes this idea and she leaves her office bag on the table and goes with Tom for the delivery. After a while both of them return after delivering the tiffin.

Tom : By the way Amy, how is your work going? 

Amelia: It's going quite well. You know, our company is working on a new project and if we become successful, we will get an international trip.

Tom : Wow, what a amazing . Really.?

Amelia: yess .

Tom : best of luck for your future. 

While talking like this they set out to go home on Tom's bike. On the way they stop at the traffic signal, Tom was sitting in front and Amelia was sitting behind him. Suddenly the traffic signal opens and Tom puts the bike in gear.

Amelia gets a slight jolt as the bike shifts into gear and falls on top of Tom, holding him tightly around his waist.

Amelia: Sorry, tom.

This position was a bit uncomfortable. So Amelia was about to quickly take her hand from Tom's waist but then Tom caught her hand again and put it in the same position as before. And he said in a low but deep voice.

Tom : It's okay Amelia. Anyway, hold me like this or else you'll fall off the bike. Okay?

Amelia doesn't understand but she nods anyway and does as Tom says. They do not talk about anything else for the rest of the way. After a while, Tom's bike is parked outside Amelia's house.

Amelia: Thank you tom .

Tom: No problem. On the contrary, I really liked it.

Amelia: huh….

Tom : We spent time together after a long time, well, we both were so busy with work for a long time that we couldn't even talk properly.

Amelia: yess , you are right . I Promise I make a time for us .

Tom: ohkk .Now go inside, Aunty must be waiting for you. Take care of yourself.

Amelia: Ok, you also go home carefully and call me after that. Ride the bike carefully. Ok.

Tom : You are worrying about me.

Amelia: yess .

Tom : Thank you, now go inside, I will message you after reaching home. Amy… when your project is finished, I will give you a surprise.

Amelia : surprises. ...…?
