Another day after touching her mother’s feet, she pulled her bicycle out of the house, she sent a message to her teachers about the situation and her job. Now that she was the only one handling all the matters.
“About the police station, we will try reaching by 4.30,” Her mother mentioned as she bit her lip.
“I am not off work until 6, how do we handle it?” She asked.
“I will try to leave early okay?” She said with a small smile before leaving her home on her bicycle.
. arriving at work at 9 sharp, She sat on the chairs kept there, she was nervous, it was her first day, She greeted her colleagues, the same two ladies who were there yesterday, life never felt more baring in the moment of waiting, it was almost 11 and she did not have any work to do.
She was not instructed to do anything until the bosses arrived, she had checked her phone twice, had the office phone on charge, and tried reading her book, on working on one but the jitters with boredom, and this was not a great concept now, was it?
It was sudden how the door opened when she was looking at her phone and he entered. There was something with the energy he carried, today it spoke something.
“Good morning, sir,” She said as she tried to stand but he just nodded at her and before she could ask away anything else, He went to his cabin.
Her gaze did not have off him, the entire time.
“Office starts at 9, but he always arrives 2 hours late,” She heard Preeti say to the other girl.
“All of this attitude will be fixed when the sales report is demanded by the owner,” The other lady, whom she was yet to get the name of, said with a smirk as she dialed a number on her phone again and started speaking to one of her friends.
‘Are they here for work? What is their designation?’ Anushka thought to herself as she looked at both of them before a bell rang all of a sudden.
She looked at Preeti who mentioned her to go to his cabin.
“Ohh,” she got up, and fixed her clothes a little before walking to his cabin.
Taking a deep breath, she knocked on it twice before she walked in. he was again looking at his phone,
‘What is in that phone, that he always keeps looking at it?’
“Okay, so any interviews lined up for today?” He asked her.
A slight shiver went down her spine as she nodded and wetted her lips before speaking, “Yes, two are lined up, sir, they are going to be here in 20 minutes,” She answered with as much as confidence she could find in herself.
“Okay, when they arrive get me their CVs okay?” He instructed, maybe somewhere he did understand, they and to train her in everything because she was too new to all of this.
“Okay, anything else,” She looked at him and added, “Sir,” the slight tug did not miss the something in her eyes as he shook his head and looked at his phone, she walked outside and waited for the candidates to arrive, it was a new office, no IELTS students or PTE students were there.
The office was unusually empty, she had not seen Abhinn today as well.
“Anushka mam,” A voice pulled her out of her thoughts as she turned to look to her left.
“In the cabin please,” He said as she nodded, “Hnji?” (Yes) she asked as she stood in front of him, he handed her the CVs and said to put them in the resume file.
“Where will I find the file?” She asked taking the papers from his hand.
“The Drawer beside the reception desk, ask Preeti's mam, she will tell—“ Even before he could complete his words, the door of the cabin opened as Abhinn sir walked in, she greeted him with a nod before she was asked to walk outside and do her job.
Another hour went out like this, both of them were now in Abbhin’s cabin, the one identified at the last.
“When is lunchtime?” she asked Preeti feeling hungry, her BP should not be dropping on the very first day of her job.
“Well, we take lunch around 3 but if you are hungry, you can have lunch in the cabin, no one’s stopping you,” Preeti said as she nodded taking her lunch box, her mother packed for her to the cabin and had her lunch.
She had just returned after washing her hands as the cabin door opened as she looked at him, he gave out a small smile as she moved a few steps back. The tension is clearly visible.
“You had your lunch?” He asked as she looked at her slightly wet hands.
“Yes, just now,” she replied. The rest of the day was just a bore as she sat around but her anxiety peaked when it was close to 4.
She had received her mother’s call earlier stating she was off on her way to the police station. She knew she had to seek permission to leave early but it was her very first day, and the last thing she wanted was to leave a bad impression on the boss on the very first day.
But this had to be done, she couldn’t leave her mother like that.
Knock knock
She pushed the door inside as her scared gaze dropped on him.
“Umm… sir I have to leave early today,” There, she finally put her words in front of him as he stopped typing on his phone.
His eyes held questions like ‘For what?’
“Umm… My dad’s reports just came, and his back is fractured, I would like to take an early leave to help Mom take him back to the house and handle everything,” I stated as he looked at me for a second.
The door of the cabin opened as Abhinn looked at both of us, “what happened?” He asked.
“Umm… Her father’s backbone has a fracture, she needs to leave early today,” He summarized my words in his own before presenting them to Abhinn.
“Oh… umm, sure,” Abhinn said as she looked over at Dinesh.
“Okay then,” He said as she walked outside to collect her things, she dialed her mom and informed her that she was reaching out to deal with that fucker who stole money from companies in her name. If she could go ahead and kill him with her bare hands she would have, until now.
“Alright then, good evening,” This was her way of concluding her day to everyone around her as they looked at her.
There she left to become a nightmare to someone who deserved it.
Sneak peek
“How should I keep my hair length?” She asked him looking at her hair.
“Keep it however you like,”
“Give me your opinion,” she demanded.
“Let them grow,” He said, I don’t know if you can hear a smirk but I swear I heard it in his voice and his next words just confirmed it.
“I would like to hold them while I take you from behind,” He added cheekily.
“YOU—“She did not know whether to blush, cry, or laugh.
‘is he married?’ The question jumped out of her mind as soon as she saw him the next day going towards his cabin. As usual, Preeti and the other lady she was yet to know the name of, were doing his burai again.The normal thing, goodness dude he made himself so that he can come late and not be questioned first be at his level then speak no?The bell of the cabin rang, she was time was all familiar to the system, she did not wait or look at both of the ladies, she left her phone at the desk and walked ahead to his cabin but never entered without a two-second knock on the glass door.Patience, this was something she liked about herself.“Yes sir,” There she was standing in front of him, trying her best not to get her attention to his biceps that were screaming about how much time he spent in the gym to build that chest.“It is Sunjay sir’s birthday today, I want you to make a birthday wish post for them, Ladwa office, our other branch has already made it, have a look,” He said as he han
“Please come to my cabin,” Dinesh mentioned as Anushka looked up from her phone. She was reading another one of the books online. She loved romance books and would prefer them any day over her textbooks.She walked to his cabin, straightening the white t-shirt and pants she was wearing today. It was the least bit professional, but she did wear a sweater over it, so it was fine.As usual, knocking on the door twice, she walked inside as he gestured to her to sit, “How many countries do we deal with?” He asked all of a sudden.“USA, AUS, GERMANY, NEW ZEALAND, CANADA,” she answered. This was simple information mentioned by them once, and ever since then, she has tried to keep this in mind.“Okay, let’s over the map of Canada. "These are the states of Canada, and I want you to learn about these along with their location on the map,” he mentioned as he handed her a paper.Why was he suddenly taking a test of my rattaficationry self?“You know this information needs to be shared with potent
Standing outside the place she was called at, had her palms sweating, her phone in her hands as she opened her hair that was in a bun before, She dialed her father’s number, “Yes, dad I have reached,” She called before taking a deep breath.“Very well, Good luck, beta,” Came back a rough but slightly painful voice.“I am praying for you,” Came the voice of her mother which made her smile.“Okay maa, Aaschi aami, “(will be back soon) with that she hung up the call, her hands felt jittery, and anxiety running in her veins did not help either.‘it’s okay, I am fine’ she said to herself, she bit her lip, taking a deep breath in, ‘Hold, 1… 2… 3… 4… 5… exhale’ With that she looked at the white doors with blurring lines, her gaze going to the standee at the corner.“STRAIGHTLINE”“All over to you, Jesus, “whispering to herself she walked inside the place with as much as confidence she could find in herself.“Hi, my interview was at 12, for the job of receptionist,” She mentioned to the lady
“You would like to apply for other jobs? Beta,” Anushka’s father said as she helped him sit on the bed, the pain in his back had him closing his eyes for a split second, trying too hard to hide the pain but failing miserably.“They did say, they would contact but yes I will apply for a few more today,” She said handing him the medicines.She bit her lip as she looked at the call log, she had to look after the bank people asking for EMIs and here, she did not have a job yet.Even taking out 10 rupees was hard. Taking a deep breath she started searching for a few more suitable jobs as the face of the brown-eyed man came in front of her again.‘fuck, I should have at least asked his name,’ she thought closing her eyes as her phone vibrated in her pocket, she pulled it hoping it was a call from STRAIGHTLINE but it was just another threatening message for making a payment to the credit card.Gulping down the saliva, she wore her kurta and looked at her bicycle which she barely used after s
