Just simply the sun was setting just like any other day...telling everyone that it's time to end this tiring day. Some people are taking a sigh of relief and moving excitedly towards their home, where some may enjoy the company of their kids, may cook something delicious to relieve the stress from the lectures of the superiors, may just take a shower and sleep.

Or just some people are taking slow steps ...cause,maybe they didn't did that well... maybe if their day was a lil longer they could have done better.

Same goes for me too, maybe just taking slow heavy steps with a lower head but just when I look at the sky turning orange, is meking me feel a little tired.

Suddenly something felt chilly on my face and i felt a drop of water and within a few seconds the orange sky turned black with heavy rain and thunder. Everyone with different impressions start running to reach their destination  whereas I, still standing there with no end.

So I just smile , liftes my hand near my chest opening palm to feel those icy but refreshing raindrops, giving a sweet sensation with shiver. I run towards a bus stand to take shelter and stand under it. Watching people still running towards their HOME. But what if we don't even have a thing called Home.

Suddenly it starts thundering even louder which blurred my thoughts and I just left the shelter and started walking towards a place where I live. it's weird to call it home but I guess it's ok to shelter there too.

I keep walking and suddenly get pulled , when I felt a strong palm holding my arm and make me turn towards him but the rain blur my vision for me from looking at his face.

Just all I could understand was him, putting his overcoat on me which almost covered my face too and whispering which maybe was the only warm feeling in this coldness,

"Miss hurry home and take care"

Maybe they were some simple words but I felt so warm when I heard his gentle but shivery voice as he was also getting soaked.

I took the coat off my face to look at him but in this small time all I could see was him running in another direction.

I hug the coat which still has his warmth left in it and somehow a smile appears on my face and automatically makes my feets speed up while holding the coat over me ,until I reach home. I was totally breathless when I opened the lock and saw that cold dark room.

After turning on the lights I went to shower and sat on the couch where I sleep everyday as the bedroom makes me feel even emptier. As a,daily routine I make some ramen and turn on the tv and start watching some random shows which don't interest me but it makes this dead place a little livelier... while eating suddenly my attention goes towards the door where his coat is on the coat stand.

I looked at it for a moment and grabs it... why am I still holding it? this thought came to my mind but i feel i already know the answer.

But the thing that I am searching for is already gone cause of the rain...that is his warm feeling that I felt when he held my arm and when he just put the coat over my head... the same feeling is not in the coat anymore but I am still able to feel it on my body and heart.. What is this feeling?it feels sweet but tingling...i again looks at the coat and says,

"thank you😊"

I cleans the coat and goes back to my night routine of sleeping while watching tv... it feels like a bad habit but to be honest it's feels safe...safe as if someone is here and i am not alone .

Sounds funny how a lonely person lives but today, it feels a little different. Somehow I don't feel as bad as I did when I left the office or maybe when I was getting soaked in rain. While questioning myself I lay on the couch covering myself with a blanket. I closed my eyes and that sweet sensation still came back to me and his voice, which wasn't very clear cause of rain, is loud and smooth in my mind right now...

"miss hurry home and take care"

Maybe they were some simple words but it felt enough to make my heart thumping and slowly I fell asleep while smiling...without noticing this small incident which felt so pleasing will change my whole life.

hi everyone 😁❤

please like ,share and vote❤thank you

next morning i woke up when the shiney sunlight touched my eyes and an annoying alarm voice disturbing my sleep. i turn off the alram, stretches a bit and walks towards the balcony. Its a small apartment which suits my budget but what i like most about it is this small balcony which makes me relax from this hectic schedule and noisy city. i look above and those dark clouds are now all gone and a shiney sun is spreading sweet warmth which is so pleasing with the smell of soil after the rain then i look at the tree just on the left front of my balcony, watching birds chirping and enjoying their morning too and a little smile come on my face.

just when i turn around to get ready for the day, my eyes fall on the clothes stand on which the Coat guy's coat is hanging i touches the coat and somehow it gives me a sweet feeling as if I can feel him through it

i caress it and says,

"good morning mister coat guy😊"

😐i suddenly felt weird about myself as i was just behaving like this for a stranger. I smacks my head a little and scolds myself,

"what's wrong with you ?🤨lets just get ready."

i went to shower and as my daily rountine i skipped the breakfast and goes to office directly after buying hot coffee from the cafe near the office.

sigh, just before entering the office building i

murmured to myself,

"its ok its ok lets just try my best"

and enters the building with a little confident smile on my face and greeting people. Where some reply me with the same smile as i did and some giving the rude look as i am just a receptionist of the accounts department who does nothing but delivers files to departments , transfers other departments messages and any random work.

Though i applied for the accounts manager post and got selected for it too. Due to the irrelevant disliking of the department head towards me, he put me in this position since the day i started working. I goes towards my desk and start sorting out the materials and try to focus on my work.

People who knows what happened told me to speak for myself against the head but the fear of what if I even lose my job in this post made me silent as i desperately needs this job to fill myself, so I just worked and waited for the things to get better. the love of my life..m..my dad told me that nothing stays forever we all just have to keep trying our best until the things go our way. so i am doing that too.

I was sorting some documents when i notice the door of the department opening and the person i dont wanna see but have to enters, the department head, the old geezer who just want sexual satisfaction from each and every human no matter male or female.

I hold my anger i greet him by bowing and avoiding his nasty gaze,

"good morning Mr parker"

he taps on my desk when he smiles with a lusty look on his eyes,

"good morning neoma😏"

i turn my face in other direction to avoid his shits and he slowly walks away while keep looking at my body with his eyes full of lust. I..feel disgusted and scared .Sometimes i even starts to hate my name just cause he called me with that name. I start working again while trying to keep the professional look as its almost time for most of the staff to come. slowly the office fills up and everyone starts working. I kept running from one department to another to receive n deliver documents. Just when i sit on my chair after running for 3 hours i heard the department manager calling for me.

department manager, mr Steve the only person who treats me like any other staff instead of a mere receptionist or a helping hand.

I goes to his office and opens the door after knocking and says,

"😊hello Mr steve you called me?"

steve was writing something he stops his pen and put his hands on his table and says,

"oh neoma come come inside😄"

i goes inside and stops before his table

"😄sit down i know you must running around since morning."

i felt happy that atleast one person appreciates my efforts.

he passes me some files and just when i was,about to leave his office i pauses when he calls me back,

"oh wait neoma i forgot something"

i goes back and he searches his pockets and i with a confused look and a little smile wonders what was it.

He takes out a chocolate ball from his coats pocket and says while giving it,

"here😄have a sweet day"

that made me so happy that i felt sweet already even before eating the chocolate i takes it and replies,

"😁have a sweet day too Mr. Steve thank you😊"

steve nods and i leaves his offices with a smile on my face and holding files in one hand and the chocolate ball in another.

I puts the chocolate inside my bag and leaves for the work. When I comes back i saw someone on my desk who is the second hell of this office for me , raina, the assistant of Mr. steve.

i sighs and goes directly towards my desk when she stops me from sitting and says,

"Neoma do you even do anything other than walking around the building?🙄"

i indifferently answers her,

"Miss riana what can i do for you?"

riana got a little annoyed and says,

"you 🤨brainless shit dare avoid my question.

Go and make coffee for me right now."

i avoids her hands and picks some documents from my table and answers while bowing a bit,

"sorry miss riana i guess you have to wait for while as Mr. steve told me to deliver these documents."

i leaves the shouting secretary there as its her daily routine to shout and scold me ,i slowly learnt that the only way to keep her away is leave from where she is.

when i come back, make coffee for everyone and starts to pass it to everyone when i reach riana' s desk and gives her coffee she held my hand and did something which I wasn't expecting from this fine day.

...^^^(**to be continued ❤)^^^...

hi guys😁thank you for reading ❤

uk yesterday i went to a wedding and it started raining and everyone started running towards the shelters I just felt like staying there in the rain and also experience the same as neoma ,🤣but i couldn't as i almost saved myself from slipping on the slippery floor as i was wearing saree and high heels.

😂and my dad held my hand like a movie hero.

😗so have you ever had any rainy moment which felt like you are in movies**?

As I pass the coffee mug to riana, she doesn't react to anything so I just put the mug on her desk and when I turn around to leave. I found a grip on my hand and turn my head and saw its riana holding my hand with a tight grip and just before I could react or turn, she picks  up the mug and put my finger inside it. I shouted as it was burning hot and hurt badly. 

All of the stuff came where I was standing and asked what happend, riana slowly approached me and whispers,

"Dare say anything and it will be your last day here😏…you clearly know department head wanna kick you out any moment."

I hold my burnt hand and look at my red fingers with teary eyes.

Someone ask me when he notice that,

"Neoma what happened? Your fingers 😥they are all red"

Some people ask me and some just find me annoying and gave weird looks.

I with cracking voice cause it was hurting like hell said,

"I….it's no..nothing i accidentally dropped coffee on my fingers."

Riana smirks and says while putting her hand on my shoulder,

" aww my dear you should be careful now go and get yourself treated"

Anyone can see through Riana's fakeness but no one dares offend her. I held my palm tightly in anger and left there to get treated.

I went to the infirmary and took some burn relief tube . I try to apply but its hard to apply on my right hand as a righty. When i was applying it i felt a shadow blocking the sun i looked up to take a clear look and found a Erica, one of the staff of my department she is aloof but righteous.

She says while reaching her hand out,

"Let me do it for you"

😶..i.its the first time she talked with me. I hesitantly said,

"Um its ok i am almost done😄thank you miss erica"

Erica snaches the medicine and start to apply on my fingers and says,

"🙄i said let me do it you can't do everything by yourself ."

It felt warm as its rare someone is treating my wounds  for me. I nods and let her do it.,

Hiss😬it hurts i flinched a bit when the medicine touched my wound. Erica again looks at me with angry eyes,

"🙄why you lied?"

Erica asks me. I stammered a bit as she was looking angry but I was confused as to when I lied to her. I ask with a little confusion,

"😅um when?"

Erica got a little annoyed expression and say,

"When riana burnt your fingers." She stares at my fingers while saying that. I was shocked that she noticed it as no one before cared much about what riana says or does cause she always had a upper hand for most of us.

I didn't want people to fight because of me so i shakes my head instantly and denies,

"😅..no miss erica it was really not miss riana's fault"

Erica stares at me for a moment and then sighs a bit while close closing the medicine's cap and says,

"Ok as you wish, just be more careful next time."

I nods are erica stands up to leave just when i call her,

"Miss erica"

She looks back with a questionable face. i instantly stand up and bows to her and say,

"Thank you so much😁"

Erica nods and leaves. I always thought she was a little cold but I guess its just that she doesn't show her emotions much. I also went back to work and just like that I started my unwanted journey towards that dark and empty place where no one is waiting for me.

While walking towards the subway I see an unknown but kind of familiar place. The place where I met that stranger and some warm feelings came across my body and for a moment I almost forgot the harsh day and smiled a bit while wondering. I murmured to myself, 

"Will we meet again?"

What a random thought came across my mind. Am I being greedy for a person?why would I want to meet him again?I started taking steps back home. And after eating I fold the clothes including his coat. i touches it and says in a low voice,

"Even if it's me being greedy I still wanna meet you at least once more."

I took a box out of my closet , it's a box with cute stickers on it and a white ribbon on its top. 

I carefully put it on my bed and open the ribbon. It may look like an ordinary storing box but it's like a treasure box for me. The reason? Because it keeps all of my precious things safe and protected. Maybe those things are just a few pictures or some gifts which I received but…. Those things hold a special space in my heart.  I looked over  those things and looked at the coat which I just put on the bed after folding it.

I pick it up with a smile on my face and put it inside the box carefully. I again closed that box because memories are only special when we remember it only a few times, if we get habitual of it somehow it loses the feelings and the flutter of heart so better hide them in a corner and look at them once in a while to feel that sweetness again.

and thats how another regular day of my life ends.
