Alex and the others' POV from the Was it Just Imagination chapter)
Alex pov
How can a person be so afraid of an injection, like a child gets scared. Alina is a little better now, the doctor said I can take her home. And the girl I brought, she has to stay one more day because her fever is very high. I sent Drake to pay the bills of both Alina and that girl.
I was sitting beside Alina, looking at her, only one thing is going around in my head—that for the first time in life Alina is saying she won't work with me. What happened that she won't work with me? About this I have to talk with Alina later. After 10 years of working together, i never heard such words from Alina.
Drake came, we left to go home but before going home I had to talk with the nurse. This whole hospital's updates that nurse keeps. Even though it sounds strange I gave the responsibility to her because this nurse is a very trustworthy woman. She has worked here many years in my hospital. And also my father knows her.
At the gate I saw the nurse standing, I called her and said, "Please keep proper watch of that girl and if there is any emergency then let me know."
Alina, "Which girl?"
Drake, "Another girlfriend of Alex."
I looked at him angrily.
Drake, "Sorry."
Alina was looking at me for an answer, I said, "An agency employee but I don't know who." Alina without saying anything sat in the car. This bastard Drake always talks extra.
I told the nurse more, "If the girl remembers that she saw me or us then fine, but if she remembers nothing then don't tell her anything about us, you understand why I am saying this."
Nurse, "Sure sir."
We sat in the car, I dropped Alina at her house. While getting down from the car Alina didn't look at me even once, just went inside. This has never happened, always Alina kissed me or at least hugged me before going inside. What happened this time? Because Alina is sick? Or is she actually thinking about something? I said bye but she didn't look back.
Drake, "So sad."
Me, "Shut up."
Something has happened to my Alina, definitely something has happened. I started the car. Whatever happened to Alina, I must find it out and fix it because I am feeling very disturbed about her. I was thinking these things when Drake said, "Save me someone save me, brother reduce the car speed, who drives at this speed, police will arrest, I know police are also in your pocket brother but still think about me, I am not married yet."
This guy always talks too much.
We went straight to the Agency and quickly to Bob's room.
Bob, "Boss you came."
I said, "Say Alex, I am not boss now, in agency no boss or sir, just Alex."
Bob, "Okay."
Me, "Did Alina tell you anything about the next project of me and Alina together?"
Bob, "This morning Alina came to talk with me about this project but just then a call came and Alina left my room."
So what really happened.
Me, "Alina spoke with Drake and said she won't do the next project with me, so you know what you have to do."
Bob, "Yes boss."
Me, "No."
Bob, "Sorry."
The full agency's responsibility is given to Bob. Since I bought the agency I gave him that responsibility. And Bob is my personal man who brings me every information I need in whatever way.
I was sitting in Bob's room some time, my head only circling about Alina. Suddenly Bob said, "How many times I called Jiya, she is not picking up, what should I say to this girl." He called a staff in the room and said, "Did you see Jiya anywhere?" That staff answered, "Jiya was taken by Alex sir, she fainted."
Me, "She had very high fever so I took her with Alina to the hospital, still her condition is bad."
Bob, "Condition bad—how can you say it so relaxed."
Me, "By condition bad I mean very high fever."
Bob, "Pray she gets well soon, these days Maddy and Degi are behaving badly with her."
That staff said, "Sorry sir, from a small mouth big words, but I think Jiya is in this condition because of them." He told everything about what Maddy and Degi did with that girl.
Bob, "When Jiya comes back I will change, Degi won't assist her anymore."
The staff left.
Me, "Fix them otherwise people like this don't have a place in my agency."
Bob, "Okay."
Suddenly my eyes went to the clock, it was 12 at night. I signed some papers and left outside the agency. I called Alina, she didn't pick. What happened? I texted her, she also didn't reply. I sat in the car, started driving. My Alina suddenly what happened to you?
For some time I drove aimlessly, didn't feel like going home. Okay, the girl's condition—maybe bad, I should see once.
I went to hospital, just before going inside the room the phone rang, I saw Alina called. I went to the balcony, received the call, "How are you now, did you take medicine?"
Alina, "Alex I want to leave the Agency."
Leave the Agency. First I knew she won't work with me, now Agency also.
Me, "Okay fine but may I know why?"
Alina, "I want to experience something different, staying in the same circle doesn't feel good anymore."
Me, "Okay fine, do what feels right, I am with you."
Alina, "I know I decided suddenly, so it's normal you feel bad."
Me, "No, I don't feel bad."
Alina suddenly took such a big decision. Okay fine, let her live life as she wishes.
Alina, "I love you."
Me, "Love you too."
She cut the phone. Why I don't know my heart is feeling restless, I lit a cigarette. I was smoking in the balcony. Suddenly mom called, asking about me.
Me, "Mom when will you come here?"
Mom, "I will come after finishing some work here."
Me, "Come quickly."
Mom, "Listen son, take every decision of life carefully, and remember I won't always be beside you, take correct decisions of your own life. I am old now, don't know how long I will live."
Me, "Why are you talking about living or dying, nothing will happen to you."
Mom, "Fool, everyone will die one day, and throw away that cigarette, don't make it a habit."
Even from not being here mom understood I was smoking.
Me, "Come quickly."
Mom, "You stay well, I will come soon,love u" She cut the phone.
I threw away the cigarette. Okay, why did I come here, oh right, to see the girl. I had cap on my head and mask in pocket, I put on the mask. For a celebrity this is the life savior.
I opened the room door a little, saw light on and she was sleeping. Who sleeps with light on? At the door switch I turned off the light. Then I went near her, saw the girl sleeping. Because of pain in my leg, a stool beside the bed, I sat on it.
Through the window the moonlight was falling on her face. How beautifully she is sleeping peacefully. Since when I don't sleep like this. So many companies, agencies, factories, today one project, tomorrow another project—my sleep has gone away.
As I was about to get up from the stool, suddenly the girl screamed like she saw a ghost. What strange scream, why? I didn't understand anything, I covered her mouth. She was still not stopping. The girl with her hand tried to remove my hand from her mouth. Then I quickly left the room.
Oh my God.
And the biggest thing is — why have I come to the hospital to see this girl? Such an urge to search for that girl arose in me. If I had called, I would have gotten news about that girl. I didn't even know the girl. My head isn't working; I should go home. I need to rest; I'm going to sleep.
