Secret Admirer!!

It was, just a dream!!

Amara relaxed herself by thinking so, however the sudden thought wondered her; how did she end up with a bedsheet?!

She had a well memory of herself dozing off while seated by the hearth, she had brought no bedsheet with her, then how?!

Amara took no stress over it, thinking perhaps she really had brought herself one and forgot doing so.

She then took a look at the time realising it's morning already, however a sigh soon escaped her when she realised she was late enough for work. The clock ticking by nine.

With no other option left, Amara thought to take a day off, deciding to give a call to Sarah to inform her which made her search for her mobile!

It was then did she realise that she has already received two missed calls from Oliver, how did she manage to get lost in such a deep sleep?!

Amara dailed the number, calling Sarah.

Ringing....

"Amara, where are you, why aren't you here till now?" Sarah asked Amara hurriedly, not even giving her a chance to speak.

"Sarah, I'm thinking of to take a leave, so I would not be coming!" Amara calmly informed, "So please do me a favour of asking for a sick leave for me from the Director."

"Oh my god, are you sick?!" Sarah panicked for a second, "How are you doing now?!" she immediately questioned.

"I'm as good as I can be, just a little tired!!" Amara assured.

Sarah took a brief moment of silence, eventually calculating the situation. She didn't think Amara could take a leave considering her being a workaholic, and as now she did so, she couldn't help but worry for her, for the lady sealed herself completely from 2years, unlike herself. "Do you want me to come? I would like to....."

Even before Sarah could express herself, Amara cleanly denied, "No need, rest would work! Just the favour would help me now!!"

Amara could clearly hear her sigh, "Alright, I'll do the needful!!"

Amara with an agreement then asked to hand her over to Oliver which Sarah did!

"Head!" Oliver spoke first!

"Apologize me for not attending your calls, Oliver."

"It's okay Head, is there anything important that you have to say me?" Oliver who understood by now that she will not be coming to office anymore today by the way how Sarah spoke to her, inquired her about his obvious thought by her asking for him.

"Yeah, as I will be on leave today, I want you to take my place for today. I know there are two interviews from series actors and one live recording of a tennis match, to be recorded. I already have prepared the questions needed, for interview. They are in my draw, and luckily I didn't lock it yesterday as I directly attended the wedding event. Take those documents with you, and coming to the live telecasting thing, it's just a piece of cake for Sarah. She and Ralph can handle that thing, but this interview would be a little difficult for Sarah as of my absence. I hope you could handle those things for me, do hand over the documents to her and take care of everything." Amara pleaded, not wanting to stress out Sarah and Ralph who were still inexperienced when compared to Oliver.

"It's okay head, rest assured! I will make sure to make no mistakes today." Oliver promised.

Amara thanking the man ended the call. With a sigh, she settled on the sofa. She would be all alone now, for a whole day! She had no busyness to divert her from herself and her thoughts today.

Did she do wrong?

With a frustrated sigh, she let those thoughts sway away, she was not going to spend her alone time with a depressed mind.

Motivating herself, she took a pleasant warm bath, long enough to calm her mind, before having a quality time of taking the self-care.

Amara took plenty of time to get ready, allowing every act to pass through her soul, to make herself feel at ease. She then with a peaceful mind decided to prepare the breakfast for herself.

However the realisation of only a dozen of eggs being present bothered her. For she was always busy, she didn't get any time to buy daily needed goods such as vegetables, cool drinks or any other stuffs ever!

Amara was briefly disappointed, she badly needed to start taking care of her house, and ah, how badly did she miss her mother's cookings.

She then left for nearest supermarket, buying everything she needed including some of her favorites. After returning, she carefully arranged the things in order, already feeling like her mother, the lady who once took care of this household with ease!

Her stomach rumbled in hunger suddenly, an act that made her chuckle at herself.

Amara prepared a quick breakfast and enjoyed it while watching a good series and later a movie, feeling like to be in home after a long time!

The day went with her spending quality time with herself, doing house chores, having a pleasant meal for lunch and watching more movies.

No stress! No overthinking! No botherings!!

Time passed by as if it flew, and it was evening already. No matter how much she tried to feel good, boredom embraced her with a second gap!

She then thought to try something new, to bring out the artistic trait in her, deciding to paint.

The thought immediately excited her, making her rush to grab the needed equipments from her room, however, her feet took a halt when she took a note of the gift, that still lay on her bed, unopened!!

How did she forget about this?!

With a mix of excitement and caution, Amara carefully grabbed the box, untied the rich red ribbon which had a name printed on it; 'Zamiel', and peeled back the layers of paper that provided her a sense of ancient, revealing the contents inside. A small card accompanied the gift, adding to the mystery.

She opened the card, her heart racing as she read the message inside. It simply said, "For the one with the captivating smile. From, a secret admirer."

Secret admirer?!

Amara's mind whirled with possibilities. Who could this secret admirer be? Was it someone she knew, or a stranger who had been watching her from afar? The thought both intrigued and unnerved her.

With a sense of anticipation, Amara carefully opened the box, revealing a beautiful necklace adorned with a pendant shaped like a golden butterfly. The sight took her breath away, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of connection towards the mysterious gift!

Zamiel.

Who are you?!
