Sound of Instrument beep....######

Shit, I forgot to enter the book...god this again....

TINA..... it's time for tea we'll go come on. *Anvitha shouted*

Coming sweetie.... Tina gave a voice back

In cafeteria 

Advith, I think you should now tell the truth that you like Tina

It's not like that,  it is just we work on the same project but I think she is of no use for this project you know most of the time it takes a lot of time to explain things to her that's it, I have zero interest in her. Replied to Samarth

Come on she is specially selected by Prof. Chesin, I have seen her visiting campus even before joining.

Samarth...that is the reason why she got selected out of so many. you're also well aware of his character.

it's not a good idea to judge her now what if she is not aware of him?

I don't care but I need someone who can coop up with me ... I can't lie she is very cute, I just can't be strict with those puppies' eyes...gosh I have gone mad

HAHAHAHA...... Advith ... I can't believe this you like her?

If it's not the problem can we also join you guys?   *A sudden voice came from behind*

Huh ... sure you can.

Thanks... OK  this is not good but do you like someone .... it just happened to hear you ... because you were loud

Anvith you can also keep quiet...

It'sOK I am used to it don't worry ...and yes madam anvith I like you ...hahaha

Tina sir is calling you to his cabin. Someone shouted

her mood changed just by hearing ..... and people sitting with her would easily guess that she was not interested.

With her long face, she quietly got up from her sit and started walking without giving any replay

But there was a person with a grinning face who tightened his fist in anger.

Are you OK  Advith? Samarth shakes his hand

I don't understand why it is always her ... I am the head and lead of this project but it is always her who has asked for the update. he left from the cafeteria

Inside the instrument room

Someone was quietly working...

It's time to think you should leave before it gets dark outside. *he broke the silence*

But he has asked for the report before leaving I am not yet done ...*She kept working*

OK give it to me I will help you ...he started working with her. yet it was late she took the draft and started walking outside.

Tina. it's not a good idea to always meet him this late alone in his cabin

I know,  I don't know why he always makes me stay late .. if I don't meet him now he will give me more work tomorrow, it's better to give the report and finish today.

how are you going back?

I don't know I have to book the cab,  you don't have to worry I will figure it out she replied

why do I feel you're not OK with me,  are we good? he notices that something is not OK

Yes we are as long as you keep your distance from me and if you feel explaining things to me is not worthy please  let me know

"YOU KNOW PROBLEM WITH ME CAN ONLY BE SOLVED BY ME NOT BY OTHERS"

**Outside the office **

Advith was waiting for Tina

Tina came out and started walking looking at the phone....

Tina Advith shouted

Huh... what's wrong she looked back

come I will drop you it's late not so safe to take a cab said as he started his bike

she didn't reply anything and sat with him

**On the ride **

I am sorry I should not have done that, it is just that I don't feel good about how I am treated, I just needed someone who already knew things I was expecting some senior instead of Junior. he started to explain

you should be sorry but please let me know my mistakes inside of someone else *She replied*

In Tina's room

she was sitting with a cup of coffee the vaporous coffee was  very relaxing. she started to think about her future goal and why she joined here in the first place\,  thinking about her day which was not good enough to think but she was left with no choice too. she wanted a change in her life.... thinking of all this *she just drifted into a deep sleep*.

someone entered the room and saw Tina who was sleeping on the coffee table with a stressed face. *She gave a long sing*

she took her phone and left the room without making a noise.

Next Morning

Tina was sitting on the couch when she saw someone coming

Nala please make a coffee for me. Tina asked

OK .. how is your work going on? I  saw yesterday you slept on the coffee table and you also look so tired Is everything fine? *she asked while making coffee*

yeah, I am good but about work, I don't think I  am fit for it. what do you think Nala You're my senior also see me working so what do you think I am fit for this? she replied

your good at your work it is just that people always have some expectations, i think that should not affect you.

If you're tired how about taking a break? *she causally asked*

.......................*Tina didn't replay as she was thinking something*

*Nala again started talking when she didn't get any replay.* I  have a few places in my mind we can go it will also give us some sort of free time.

Do you think Prof. Chesin would give leave? *Tina spoke in low voice*

Tina you are taking things too seriously I think you should take your time for personal space.

yes working in this field is never easy that doesn't mean you're gonna burn yourself up.

How about you ask for your leave and we will take a break. she replied on a high voice and gave cup to Tina 

OK  i will ask for the leave today she left for there 

Nala kept thinking that something is not good in office as she was noticing so many thinks going on.

**she is one the senior fellow in the working place who was already there before Tina would join. Nala is known for her work and silent nature she dint prefer talking much to everyone **

                               NOT EVERYONE'S EXCEPTION SHOULD NOT MATTER TO YOU

IN OFFICE

Tina was working as usual

Ring ring~~~~

Huh...she switched off the alarm, she took plies of flies .....she looked someone was working beside her

she walked toward him.....Samartha...?

huh....!

I am taking my flies with me you take your files....

oh...O...K!!! saw her leaving

INSIDE THE CABIN

Knock knock...

Yes please come in .....

The room was filled with books, an award frame, and one family photo on the top...she just glanced at the room

 Prof. Chesin was working on the laptop.

she took the seat in front of him.... Sir results.

OK, I will see it tomorrow ......I have planned a few new experiments i will send you the procedure you can start it I will join you later...

Sir...she was  interrupted by his talk

it's such a plus point to do as many experiments as you can gives a good structure to the paper ...........

She was just nodding...

Someone knocks on the door

She entered the room and saw Tina sitting

Nala started talking ....*sir results are ready and about the meeting\, we have to fix it soon to discuss*

OK you can mail me the result and experimental details and about the meet, I will let know the timings later he replied

OK\, sir ... Nala replied and was about to stand up ..*But Prof. Chesin started talking...*

by giving some reason Nala left but Tina was still in the room 

finally\, Tina started to talk ... *sir I need to leave on this weak end ...*

Why do you have so much work and so much experiment to do I want to leave time for you to work hard. I was not expecting you to be like this ...he started scolding...

 Sir, I know but it is something important I need to leave she answered

Prof. Chesin didn't say anything and kept quiet.......

OK, what work do you have ... he just smiled

Tina was more confused .....

She replied .. no sir ... I don't need any help  tell this she stormed out of the room

.....SHIT *he grinned*

*?*he doesn't want to do this ....yet he is so furious about the leave Tina is supposed to take on the Weakened *?*

INCafeteria

Tina was sitting with a cup of coffee with a confused look on her

She thought to herself\, *What was wrong with him? He was scolding me all of a sudden and then started to smile...it creeped me out. This is not how it's supposed to be. Something is very weird with this man." Suddenly\, she remembered the wise words\, "You should take some time for yourself." She realized that she was feeling stressed because she was taking her work too seriously. She also felt that no one else seemed to be as sad about all these things as she was.*

She finished her coffee and left for the other chamber where Nala was working

Tina sat on the chair...

Nala noticed Tina and asked her....*So...?*

yep, I informed him that I am not available on the weekend, but it feels good to know that I am taking a break.

Nala smiled OK in that  case we will be leaving this weak end ..so wrap up all your work and pack the bags

*OK on it boss* she gave a relaxed smile and left.
