Agitated

A clear sky morning is a peaceful and calming experience to start the day. The sky is bright, deep blue, and the sun is shining in all its glory. The birds are singing in the trees too, and there is a gentle breeze in the air. All is peaceful, and the world around is full of life and beauty. Such a morning is an opportunity to take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the world around. It's what is in Kabir's mind while making a morning coffee in a big and luxurious kitchen.

He grabbed his coffee and tried to inhale its fragrance gently while enjoying the backyard scenery from the window. While Kabir is taking a moment to appreciate the beauty of nature, a scream suddenly comes right from the master room, making Kabir jump in surprise. He quickly set down his coffee frantically and ran to the room to find out what was wrong.

"Yes sir!" Kabir opens the door hurriedly. "What happened?" He asks with his thick Indian accent.

Lucas sat on the bed looking confused. He turns to look at Kabir and asks, "Is the breakfast ready?"

Kabir can't help but cover his mouth looking unbelievable at Lucas. Kabir, still with his hand on his mouth, replies, "I think we have bigger problems than breakfast, sir!" What makes Kabir taken aback is Lucas never had breakfast. He just slept all the way to noon and had brunch instead.

He stares blankly at Kabir for a while then suddenly closes both of his eyes and takes a deep breath. A moment later Lucas punched his bed. "THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANT TO SAY !"

Kabir was startled by Lucas' outburst and stepped back in surprise. Kabir looks around in confusion and then says, "Uh, sir, I think you need to take a deep breath and count to ten before you continue this conversation..."

"Huh?" Lucas knitted his brow while rubbing his neck. He thought he might have broken his neck. As Lucas attempted to turn his neck in every direction to make sure it still worked, Kabir just stood there quietly with a silly expression waiting for Lucas.

Lucas turns to look at Kabir again. "Why am I at home?" He asked.

"I see you haven't done with the count, sir. Or maybe you need my help with it?" Kabir is preparing to take a deep breath and putting his hand on his stomach when he is stopped by Lucas.

"Kabir. Please just answer my question." said Lucas languidly.

"Well. About yesterday, sir. You are carried home by a really beautiful man named Noah. Not only that sir, but he was also very strong." Kabir is admiring Noah while closing his eyes and putting his right hand on his chest.

"What I mean is what really happened to me — Kabir!" Lucas yelled at Kabir. Taking a long breath, Lucas then jumps down from his bed. "Forget about it. I'm going to die young if I keep talking to you." They have been living in this mansion together for half a year but never a day has this butler of his ever answered him correctly. Lucas sighed while walking to the bathroom.

Kabir immediately goes back to his senses and follows behind Lucas. "That's why I told you to count to ten before we continue our conversation, sir. Now we need to do a twenty." Kabir is concerned about his master's emotional well being.

Their conversation never connects.

Upon arriving at the office, the first thing Lucas looked for is Noah. During his way from home to arriving at the office no one brought up yesterday's incident. He wondered what really happened that he had to be carried home. The last thing he remembers is Noah slamming into his body.

Lucas steps out from the elevator once the door opens to the floor where Noah works. Unfortunately everyone seems busy rushing here and there so no one seems to be aware that their superior is just arriving standing there looking hot and attractive.

Because no one is paying any attention to him so he decides to just burst in there and find Noah himself. He walks around the tables and stops right at Noah's, but the man in question is nowhere to be found.

Suddenly the superior's eyes light up as he looks around and says with a sly smile, "Where did that pesky Noah go?"

"Excuse me, sir" A woman standing behind him just talked to him with a cheerful smile. "Are you looking for Noah?"

Lucas is startled the moment he is suddenly approached by someone from behind. Trying to stay calm, he cleared his throat while covering his mouth and said, "Yes. Where is he?"

"He is in the meeting room right now. If It's urgent I can lead the way for you, since I'm going there too."

Lucas can see that the woman is carrying a bunch of files in her hand. "Sure, please lead the way," said Lucas.

That woman leads him to the nearby room and pushes the glass door open with her shoulder while smiling ear to ear the moment she is in. The manager who is sitting comfortably on his chair almost popped out his eyeball when he saw Lucas standing at the doorway.

Lucas effortlessly walks in and grabs a chair while waving his hand at the manager to stop him from standing up without looking at him. His eyes are glued to the presentation screen which makes him interested since he walks in. Lucas was in awe of the presentation that was being shown on the screen. He was mesmerized by the facts, figures and visuals that were on display. He was eager to learn more and to understand the implications of the data being presented.

The presenter is frozen when he sees Lucas walk in but immediately returns to his presentation after he sees Lucas sit down. During the presentation, Lucas asks for a blank paper and immediately writes down what is inside his mind to it as fast as possible without taking his eyes off from the screen.

Everything is going as smooth as butter until one of the attenders suddenly stands up from their seat. "Are you ok?" He asked her while looking around. "Can someone pass me the tissue? She looks like she has a nosebleed."

While holding her nose, she said, "I'm ok." But everybody looked concerned and began to stand up one by one which broke Lucas' attention.

Lucas turns his attention to the woman and sees her hand is dripping with blood. Lucas is feeling anxious and his heart slowly start to race as he sees the woman with the dripping blood. He is beginning to feel light-headed and the room started to spin. He feels an overwhelming urge to leave the room but his leg is too weak to move.

With a trembling hand, Lucas grabs a hold of the table and slowly pulls himself up, but suddenly someone pushes his shoulder to make him sit down again and cover his eyes with their palm. "Stay calm. I'm here." they whisper to Lucas.
