A promise: That changed my life

Vishal

"Karan sir, did you call me?" I asked as I stepped into his office.

He was looking at the papers and his secretary Rena was awkwardly standing next to him, she smiled at me, sweetly as I mirrored her expression.

"Yes, if you don't mind, can you bring a file from my home? I forgot to bring it with me." He asks, nicely.

"Of course, sir,"

"Here's the address. I will notify my wife, she will give you." He handed me a small note.

"Sure, I will be right back with that file, don't worry," I said and made my way towards his house.

I've been zone out, I've no idea what is going to happen, how Vishal is going to react, and how Karan will counter when he will know about my past.

I dropped my head in my hand, I can't tell the truth to any one of them even if I want, it's just going to hurt everyone and I don't want to do something as Adah did.

She is very courageous and smart enough to make decisions for herself, I wish she wouldn't have run away, I wouldn't be here in the first place.

I wonder if her risk of running away would have been worth it? Is she living the life she desired unlike me?

I sighed sadly.

When a phone call from Karan snapped my thoughts up, 'Hello?' I responded to the call.
