1 Vision!

News were spread all over the country, about the new product by TN cosmetics, it didn't took so long for it to become everyone's favourite, just happened the launch and the shares increased! Stocks were getting sold! And again, TN stood at the first of all top ten cosmetic industries!

Tara just finished attending an interview, providing the basic information about her company and its products, in the interview! Whole day seemed tiring, first happened the launch and then the interview, she was back to her company and Deep was following her!

Deep, he had always been beside her, her uncle's son, her childhood friend! Also managing all her works, he always stayed with her for her safety!

As she was entering in, just infront of the reception, she felt her heart feeling the pain, the pain which made her feel as if her heart was getting hold and squeezed, she hurriedly started taking more, long breaths, her hand reaching her chest, Deep was quick enough to reach beside and hold her arm and she soon sat on her knees and he crouched!

"Tara..! What happened??"

She hissed in pain, "It's...it again!!" she yet managed to say it out!

"Panic attack??" , she barely managed to answer him with a nod, as pain was unbearable, she who was trying hard to not to close her eyes, just closed in a matter of second and just what she didn't wish to, happened!

As soon as she closed her eyes, she started seeing some visions!

******

The wires of the machine were in short circuit!

Few people were getting into the elevator!

Short circuit lead to sparks of fire!

Elevator got stuck while all the other electric survivals were likely shutting down!

Screams of people were all around, people started to run here and there!

The fire started to spread!

******

She opened her eyes feeling a lump in her heart and a spin in her head, as her right hand soon reached her forehead! Deep almost panicked as she closed her eyes, he expected it as soon as she held her chest, this was what happening with her from years, and also the reason for him to always stay beside her!

The pain in her chest slowly started to fade, but dizziness conquered her, she took a look at him, and heard what he questioned, "What....did you see?"

"Eleva...tor.... Fi..re!!" and she collapsed! Deep held her, and thought of what she said, and soon happened the flickering of lights, he looked around confused but not thinking much, he soon lifted her up and carried her to the car and soon left the place!

***********

It has been hours since Tara collapsed, she still was unconscious, since deep lay her on her bed! After hours that seemed like forever, a frown settled on her face and slowly did she opened her eyes!

Tara as soon as she opened her misty eyes, she saw her uncle sitting in a chair, infront of her, and Deep on the nearest couch to her bed, as she opened her eyes, Deep stood and neared her, her uncle just kept looking at her with some emotion swirling in his eyes which he probably was trying hard to hide!

"How are you feeling now?" Deep took the initiative to break the silence!

Tara attempted to get up and soon her uncle stood and helped her sit up, and she looked at him! "I am fine, you don't need to worry!" she assured him understandingly!

He shook his head while taking his seat back, "This should need some solution!"

"Do inform me if you find one!!" she chuckled! Her uncle sighed, and she looked at Deep, and gave him a faint smile assuring him that she was okay, but soon the visions she had before she collapsed appeared in her mind and soon she again panicked inward!

"Did.... anything happen in....our company??" she sounded doubted, confused, and fearful, yet sounded stern!

Deep just sighed, and she realised that her uncle was in a bad mood too, so, it already happened??

"I already saw it coming, so don't try to hide and just...let it out!!" she said looking down the floor!

Her uncle looked at her and his son did the same before he answered her, "A short circuit...and it led to a fire accident! We didn't had any much loss, our stocks, machines and all are safe, the security guards and the firefighters who arrived on time managed to save the people!"

She gave him a slight nod, "What about the elevator thing?" she questioned again, still looking down at the floor!

Deep just looked at her in silence, and knowing that she already saw it, he couldn't just say it out and soon he looked at his father for help, who gave him a nod before looking at her and starting to speak!

"There were few people stuck...in that! We managed to save all but....lost two, who suffered of suffocation!!" he hardly managed to say it out!

She sighed!

"This will effect us in a bad way, we just had launched our new product and this happened, I am sure the shares which increased will decrease in no time!"

She just looked at him, not like she blamed him to think of only that, she knew he was being practical, and business is almost what being practical at all times and emotions are what prohibited! He was always practical and otherwise his father was a little emotional!

"We can't expect anything otherwise!" is what all she said!

"We need to hold an apology press meet!!" her uncle said making her look at him! She gave him a slight nod! "I will arrange for it tomorrow!!" said he!

"It will be me!" she said out suddenly, and both looked at her confused!

"You... don't need to!" said Deep with a frown, he knew she was upset now, and feared what would happen to her if she will give the press meet!

"He is right, let me do it!!" said her uncle!

She shifted her gaze on to the floor again, "It is me, and it's final!!" she said with a stern voice!

Deep sighed and same did his father, this woman never listened to them! "Alright!" is just what said her uncle!

"Leave!!" she said out all of a sudden still looking down, making him look at her!

"But..." Deep attempted to protest, "Okay!!" but his father stopped him by accepting her, and soon he stood and looked at him, "Let's go!", Deep nodded and left the place while he looked back at her!

"Take rest Tara, don't overthink!!"

She looked up, 'Don't overthink?!', she chuckled! Isn't that what she was used to do??!

She just gave him a nod and he returned it before he left!

When she was left alone, now, she sighed and rested her head against the bed's wall, closing her eyes! Again...she had failed! She just cursed herself inwardly, blaming herself! What was she rather than being useless??? Today, only if she had tried hard, could they both would be alive! Just because of her being weak at the moment, two people lost their lives! What was she useful of??

A tear made its way down her cheek from her left eye!
