Without being at fault, she suffered.
She suffered through an incident because of someone else's mistake.
For the sake of his daughter, he made her his assistant.
He never expected her to become more than that.

Fifth day of staying in Mumbai. The pressure of work was on my shoulder, not only on mine but on Laksh's shoulders, too. Today is the last day of staying and enjoying. Today is the day off from the office work, and I'm giving myself some time.
I put my feet on the ocean, and the cold, comfortable ocean blue water touches my feet calmly. I raise my head to look at the beautiful sunset. The colours are mixing in the sky, blending with each other perfectly.
Just like two human beings, two different persons with different colours, tried to combine with each other, even though life would be tough for both of them.
My papa and mumma were both different from each other. My mumma was the loudest in the house, and my papa was the calmer one. He thought for minutes before responding, and my mum didn't even think twice about saying anything. She was different and I am just like her.
I say whatever comes to my mind in the first place. Just like two days ago. Laksh's face lost its colours when I said that people could be intimated in the daytime also to prove Mrs Sumi wrong. Her double-meaning words were screaming that I did something to Laksh.
Laksh is not as innocent as everyone thinks. His words say something while his eyes say something else. He is the most annoying person I have ever met.
I Flinched when I felt a hand on my shoulder. A sudden touch. I turn back to a man in a mahroom shirt. With a little smile on his face looking intense on me. "Hey," he says and raises his hand. I raised my brows and took a step backwards.
"Oh sorry, I am Rakshak. I used to work in the same apartment with you," he says, and I nod. I had no idea who he was and what he wanted. The only thing I know is. I am feeling not good under his eyes. His face, his touch felt like I knew him.
"Looks like you are confused. It's okay Shivi. I have always known you because you are the main target of Mrs. Sumi. Everyone knows you but you know no one. I am happy for your post you are in Shivi" I nod and smile. The dark clouds covered the whole sky, and now his face is not visible anymore, which is good for me.
My phone vibrates in my pocket. I ignore the person standing in front of me and pull out the phone from the pocket of my pants. It was Laksh. I pick it up without thinking twice.
"You better come into my room. You fucking order three pizza girl!" He shouted from the other side of the phone. I almost forgot that I ordered three pizzas, and It was going to take time, so I came to the side of the hotel to enjoy the ocean.
"Did you pay or-" he cut me off and said, "Money is not the problem, miss. Trivedi the problem is you are going to eat all of them alone. Are you human or penguin?"Why does everyone compare me with the penguin?
I am going to have these two boxes of pizza for someone, and you are going to eat only half. And the other half is mine. He said and my eyes widened. "No, you donkey!" I am coming. Stop you there," I said and ran inside the hotel in a hurry as I could.
