Runaway

Chapter 2

Shalini Krishnan pov:

My alarm was buzzing loudly near my ears. I opened my eyes lazily while my hands were still probing for my phone. I woke up from my good slumber. It's been weeks since I fell asleep like this, I marveled. I noticed Sara dozing like a bear near me. I chuckled faintly at her childlike looks as I tiptoed out of the bed.

An excellent bath is all I need now. I had a tranquil head shower and came out of the bathroom. I blow dried my hair and styled it into a simple French braid. I looked for the suit that Sara picked it out and wore it. It was simple, and I looked elegant in it .

I came downstairs and saw my sister and patti setting the breakfast on the counter. I turned and seated in the chair next to Sara. she gave a shocked expression, to be honest I was mortified to see that expression I ran my eyes up and down of my body to confirm whether something is wrong with me or the suit I wore.

I overheard a strident laugh from by my side. It was Sara. For a second, I was assuming whether she had gone nuts. "nejama sissy nee seriyana loosu, you look dashing in the suit sister you're gonna rock the interview for sure" she stated. I'm having an insane sister for sure. I tweaked her shoulder and she jerked a bit in reflex, leading the table to shudder. grandma frowned at us, we instantaneously settled down. I ate the breakfast quietly and rinsed my plate.

( you're absolutely an idiot , you look dashing in this suit )

Sara flashed her phone at me, it had a picture of a male in a black suit, thick beard covered his lower part of his face, his eyes were gleaming and whimsical, he was fit and the suit complimented his complexions and his body, he looked like a Greek god on a whole. Soon Realization hits me. It was none other than the man for whom I am going to work as a personal assistant.

He was Adithya Kiran .

I looked up to see Sara, she had a smug look on her face , " ippa edhuku di ivaru photo va kamikira ennaku time aachu na kelambanum move aside " i said in an annoyed tone to her " intha photo va vecha kannu vangama paathapa time pathi thonalaya unnaku " she said it with a sarcastic smile.

( why are you showing his photo to me now, I am getting late move aside)

( where did your time go when you were looking at this photo almost forgetting to blink or breathe )

I gulped, my cheeks turned instantly pink due to the embracement , I have to agree he looked so handsome any girl would fall for him. " madam ennachu apdiya off aagi poi nikiringa , nan onnum sollala but he looks gorgeous doesn't he ? nee lucky dhan po " she said and let out a chuckle .

( what happened ? okay fine no more banters , but indeed you're lucky he looks gorgeous doesn't he?)

" unnaya school poga sonna loosu mari pesura podi schooluku vera vela illa unnaku " i chased her out of the kitchen and gave a stern glare at her . patti who was watching us sighed at our behavior and gave Sara her lunch box . Soon she went to school .

( enough of your stupid talks , now go to school )

My scooter tires were punctured i required a ride to attend the interview so i called Avanthika my best friend to lend a help. Soon she came and we rode the bike in the sluggish traffic of Chennai. The travel was short she kept on throwing questions at me about the interview and the pros and cons of the corporation, i guessed she should have showed up to the interview instead of me.

I thanked her when i got off from her scooter . she hugged me solidly and whispered " I have never witnessed such a bright individual like you , you're gonna get a job here and this will be your prospective " those phrases boosted my confidence . I bid a good bye to her and stood at the entrance of the company

"evalo periya building ithula top floor la irundhu vilundhom confirm kadavuluku dhan , eppadi dhan ivalo periya building katrangalo , Shalini focus eppadiavadhu interview olunga attend pandrom thattrom thukurom " I murmured

( what will happen if i fall from the top floor , obvious i am gonna see the gods . thoughts aside we are gonna do well in this interview and get a job here )

I walked graciously inside the company; I saw a receptionist who sat in a chair behind a long glossy glass table. I walked towards her, she gave me little smile "this is Shalini Krishnan, can you please tell me where the interview is taking place? "i enquired

"17th floor top right corner in conference room"

I thanked her and went straight to the elevator, I saw a man in there, and he was around his late twenties I guess. He had a goofy smile plastered on his face.

"Ungala nan indha office la pathathey illaya "he asked

(i haven't seen you around ?)

"Eppadi pathiripinga, nan interview vae iniku dhan attend panren ".

( i am going to  attend interview now , so probably there is no chance you have seen me before) 

"Ohhh... okay, all the best"

"Thank you anna, aama idhu nalla company ah? neenga inga work pandringala paatha apadi theriyalayae? "i played with him

(thank you brother , is this a good company ?, are you working here , well you don't look like the one .)

"Innum konja nerathula papinga' he swiftly exited the elevator

(you will see soon )

I brushed my thoughts aside and went near the conference room. Bunch of people sat on the chairs. They were all wearing black but I wore a white suit. Was there any colour code mentioned in the meeting ?I don't remember reading any.

With a wave of confusion I sat in the vacant chair nearby, beside me sat a woman who was really gorgeous. She had a slender body and had a handful of certificates in the file. I feel like my confidence breaking down but before I could react a man announced the meeting is going to start now. I took a deep breath and sat with my legs crossed. A person's name Shiva was called. He went in came out after few minutes.

One by one went inside, I was anxious about this interview. I heard the man yelling my name, it reverberated in my ears and around the silent room as I stood.

"kaduvule ne dhan pa ennaya kapathanum , indha vela mattum kedacha unnaku 100 thenga odaikiren 100 konjam over ah iruku la oru 10 thenga odaikuren please interview ah mattum sodhapama kaapathu". I prayed

(oh mighty lord save me please , help me to get a job here )

I opened the conference door and I was shocked to see the person who sat there in a sophisticated lathered seat wearing a well pressed suit.
