My treasures

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.
