“Well, that’s because you got your job back. You agreed to sleep with me only after you got your job back. Would you have enjoyed life had you not got the job back?”
I remained silent. It’s very hypocritical for me to say things to him. When I look back. I reacted exactly what Raj is doing now.
“I am sorry Raj. You are right”
“Neha! I just need some space now. Don’t take it in wrong way. It’s easy to say things to ease me up but every person requires little time to get over things. Have you seen me get upset in the last three days?”
“You are right Raj. I am sorry for hurting your feelings. I just tried to cheer you up”
“Well, thank you Neha. I appreciate that”
I sat beside him. There was silence for several minutes. He asked me to leave politly. He asked me not to take it in wrong way. I understood the situation. I went upstairs to pack my stuff. I packed my stuff. Since, we are outside the city. There were no cabs available.
Raj said his driver will be there in 20 minutes. I waited for the driver. The heard the car horn. He said car arrived and I can leave. He waved me Bye. I also waved bye to him. I asked him to call me if he requires help from my side and left the place.
Driver asked me where. I told him to drop me off near the Hotel where he came yesterday. The put my earphones and started playing music. I started browsing fb. I felt sad that this has to end like this.
I reached the hotel. From there, I booked a cab to my apartment. On my way home, I remembered and brought emergency contraceptive pill and took it. By the time I reached there, It was 2PM. My room mates welcomed me. They asked me why I am sad. I said nothing. Priya asked me how my business trip went. I just said everything is fine.
They said they received few mails on my name. They handed over bunch of envelopes to me. The mails are from the company. I opened the first envelope. It was my appointment letter as Asst. Manager. I have to hand over the second copy to the manager for accepting my new role. I signed both letters for acknowledgement and kept them safely inside my file. I opened another envelope. It was from the company stating that they cleared all my salary dues and they also updated my provident fund to latest date. I opened the third envelope. It was relieving letter from the company. This letter said I am no longer associated with the company. Along with it, there is a recommendation letter from my manager wishing me luck. I smiled.
There was another envelope. It’s from my bank. It is my monthly account statement of my salary account. I opened the cover. Almost all my salary was exhausted due to my bills and EMIs. I had some money left to give treat to my flat mates for getting my promotion and remaining money is for minimum balance. I filed the statement in my file. I was no longer worried about it because I will get better salary now.
I ate lunch. My room mates said they are going to a movie. They said they didn’t book any tickets as they didn’t know I would be here today. I said its ok. I asked them about the movie they were going. I tried to book ticket for me online. Luckily, it’s a little older movie. They booked seats such that a seat was left in the corner which was still empty. As it was lonely seat, nobody booked it. I asked them when they booked for the movie. They said today morning. I booked the seat and told them I am also coming. They felt happy.
