The Happy Ending

Meeting the team

Angel POV

I met him today. The most eligible bachelor . He is so handsome. Perfect is all aspects. When he walked towards me for a second the world came to a standstill that was his aura . He spoke to me briefly but the way he was looking at me scared me. I know he is danger and it's better i stay far far away from him. I could not afford to get into any more trouble. Susan had told me he is a great man. But I do not know why I am terribly afraid of him. His presence makes me week. My heart was beating very fast. My body was not in my control and I could not hold on to my desires. I do not know why I was feeling this way. I had never had such emotions towards any man nor had I had the opportunity to meet many. But for now some how I wanted to stay away from danger.

To tell you the truth I really liked him and wanted to meet him again but no it is danger and I can't afford it.

With all these thoughts in mind I went to attend the team meeting. My senior Sharma introduced me to the team and made arrangements so I could start my work.

Once at work I didn't know when time passed by the work was hectic. Suddenly my new colleague asked me if I would like to take a chai break ( tea). She suggested that the chai wala or tea stall makes amazing chai and if not tasted I would miss. So I joined them so they do not feel offended. While having my chai I noticed the black luxury car passing by and the fierce pair of eyes staring but I had to ignore.

I had to keep ignoring as much as possible and stay away and I decided to keep it that way.

I reached home around 7PM . I observed that Susan was still not in so I decided to cook. This is the only job that I love the most .Since my childhood cooking has always attracted me and I learned to cook . With time I mastered the art . Now I could cook really good food .

It took around an hour for me to cook dal (lentil) bhajji( side dish made of vegetables) roti(Indian bread) and chawal (rice).

Mumbai is a humid city and the ventilation was not that good at Susan's place. She lived in a 1bedroom house however she had been generous to share that with me. I shared her bedroom. She had arranged for a cot for me and a*****e where I could keep my things.

This area was completely different from where I come . I come from a middle class society where most of my neighbours had their own house to live. However this is more like shacks where people lived in small rooms . It seems these are called chawls mostly where very poor people lived.

Susan did earn good sum of money but she had to support her family as she was the only bread winner of the house.

She always cut down on her expenses so she could send more and more towards her family. She paid 6 thousand as rent for this place. She told me that I could share the house and need not contribute . But I understand and after hours of coaxing she agreed to take it.

This part of the city is very scary and being new to all these just added on to my worries and Susan was still not home. Its 9PM now and am still waiting for her. Finally she reached at around10. She seemed not to worry at all about this and when I raised my doubts she just laughed it out.

Well I guess this is what the difference is between big cities and towns in India.

Well Mumbai never sleeps . People go out even at the dead of night and have fun. This is what she said. I too wanted to see how the city looks at night but may be later.

Technically I am only 24 hours old here and I wanted to make it a long stay. Forget the past and start a new chapter in my life. Oh all these time I totally forgot that mom had called me and I need to return her call. Let me quickly call her up. She will be very worried.Speaking to mum releases my days stress and I feel much better. Its really nice that mum is doing fine. Uncle confirmed too and he also assured me that he will take good care of her. Aunt is happy that mum stays with them. She told me that finally she has someone to speak with. She is also happy that mum is getting back to her normal self and life is slowly turning to normal. Dad's sudden demise was a shock for her. She could not accept it. She had stopped talking to anyone and had locked herself from the outside world. She used to spend the whole day by herself.

I am happy today . Mum spoke to me for a while and I could feel that finally I am slowly getting my mum back. I have already lost the only strength of my life . I only had mum now and for me she is the only hope for my survival. My struggle is just for her. To make her happy again and to take good care of her.

Life hasn't been good since dad's death and i wanted to make it a bit better . I know I won't be able to bring dad back or return what my mum lost but least I can try and make her live a comfortable life.

As for now I had to concentrate on my work and do well . I am very tired today. Just landed in the city yesterday and today I started work .As a whole it's very tiring and I need ed to crash.

Susan served the dinner. We both spoke about how the day was while having dinner.

To my surprise she told me that Andy liked me. The one name and shivers run down my body. I really can't understand why he bothers me so much . I just can't make out why I care . He is my boss and he liking me means he doesn't mind me working in his organisation . But deep within why do I want to know what he means by liking me. Why why god please help. I do not want trouble and he is one.

Susan wanted to know how I feel for him . I ignore it and start speaking about my new team members and how the spend the day. I also wanted to know if its fine to return home with her. She was ok with it just that she is used to spending more time at work and mostly she used to have her dinner at work before leaving for home. She wanted to make sure I am fine with eating at the cafeteria.

I do not like outside food but it's better to eat out side than to spend time alone at home. Least I would have company to spend time.

Its already 11 now and we both are in bed. As usual not getting sleep inspite of the tiredness so I start reading a book.

I am 21 to be precise however I love reading comics . They make me laugh and for sometime I completely forget myself . Like cooking reading too is my passion .It relieves me of my worries.

I wake up early today . I have to make breakfast and head to work . I decide to have toasted bread with some boiled vegetables for breakfast today. Once breakfast is ready I quickly take my shower before Susan wakes up. Its 7:30AM and I. already ready for work just need to change into my work attire . I wake Susan up with much difficulty. I wonder how she manages to be at work in time. I have so much to do before starting for work. I have to put the wet cloths for drying. Well Susan doesn't have washing machine so we need to help ourselves with cleaning the clothes . I. completely fine with it . I have always washed my clothes even when we had a washing machine back home. Mum always told me being independent is good . Dependency makes one lazy.

Time to start for work. As we locked the door a white car approached. Susan turned around and she smiled. Here is our cab she said. For one's I was taken back . Why should we travel by a cab. Its so expensive. Before I could further ask question she said that the company provides her a cab to and fro to work and this is because she has to be to work in time. She also confirmed that the other employees avail the shuttle services and she gets a cab .Well that means I too can avail the services. Wow I really love this job . Well adding to that she also confirmed that on our way to work we need to pick another person. I was completely fine with it. When we reached the location I was taken back.

The person I was trying to stay away from was waiting right in front. The moment the cab came to a halt Susan jumped out of the seat and she offered to sit in the front with the driver.

He cane and sat next to me and casually wished us morning. Both of us wished him back. I was feeling out of place and so I started to look at the outside. Its really beautiful and I was so captivated by the place that I did not realise that I was holding on. to his hand . It was so warm and comforting . Suddenly the vehicle came to a sudden halt That's when I realised that I was holding on to him . I wanted to release my hand but then suddenly realised that he was holding me tight. I like looked at him and asked him to let me go but he refused.I wanted to speak loud but still,i couldn't frame the sentences properly. Looking into his eye I begged to let me go but to vein. He was having fun with me. That is when I realised that this service is just a build up plan.

Susan was looking at me from the rear view and was smiling. I wanted to kill her but couldn't. Just then he pulled me closer to him . Now instead of just holding me I was completely in his arms. Its so comforting. For a moment I wished if I could spend the rest of my life here.
