“Nipuna!” I heard his voice which seems to be a little impatient, which is everyday situation, but today it seems to be more than that.“What is it?” I asked, looking at the door from the magazine.“You don’t know what I have found.” He replied, closing the door and walked towards me.“Of course I don’t until you tell me, right?” I asked raising my eyebrow.“You don’t know how important is this.” He mumbled frowning sitting beside me.“Aahil! Will you decide to tell me what it is or will you continue to ponder on how important it is?” I asked sighing.“Are you really going to show that attitude today?” he asked staring at me.“Then what do you expect me to do? You went to my Dad’s place yesterday, but didn’t tell me and then started gloating about it today morning.” I replied in a pissed tone.“You hate political talk.” He simply said like I was even stupid for being mad at him.“He is my Dad, but you took our Daughter with you not me. Does she like this talk? No, right!” I said, glar

*Kalpana Pov*“What? But why?” I asked, staring at him with complete shock.“It’s been too long since you returned to work.” He stated leaning back in his chair.“I was on maternity leave, Sir.” I said, frowning at him and tried to control the panic settling inside.“We can’t let you continue here.” He said shaking his head.“I came to work even one week before my delivery. And I never took leave. I took this leave because I am sure no one can come under such conditions in the world.” I said standing up.“You don’t have a choice in this, Ms.Kalpana. You worked here for less than a year. So, we can remove you if you want.” He said and pushed forward the letter.“Please, Sir! I really need this job. I have a baby now to take care of too.” I pleaded him hating to do it for something which is my right.He just stared at me with a frown and tapped on the table. Then he took out another envelope before moving it forward.“I said you are just removed from here. However, this is something whi

*Kalpana Pov*“Good morning!” I said, smiling at Pallavi, who is standing near the canteen.“Good morning! I will just get some coffee and come.” She said smiling.“Do you want?” she added.“No! I had just before coming to work.” I replied and walked over to my desk.I sat down and smiled, staring at Sudhir ‘s photo frame just like everyday for the past one month.It still amazes me how helpful this job became for each and everything. It cuts down some of the expenses I have to keep with the benefits it gives the employees.I glanced at the door through which we can reach the elevator. Pallavi said our boss goes to his floor from the basement itself and I need not use the lift for my work being on the ground floor.Shaking my head to come out of all these thoughts and started my work. I just wish my timings are not so different in the morning, but I can understand clerk’s can be fine with this time to finish the work.“So, how was your weekend?” Pallavi asked, walking near to my desk.

*Kalpana Pov*“Sir! Can you please repeat it?” I asked, glancing up when I realized I missed a line.“Sure! But this can be done only once.” He replied, not even glancing up from his notes.“Sure, Sir!” I mumbled and tried to put some imaginary jet on my hand to write fast.Is this job so hard? I thought groaning inside, but concentrated on his words, not wishing to ask him again to repeat the words.“That’s all for today and do type it fast before bringing it near me. I have a meeting within half an hour.” He ordered and I nodded before scrambling out to have some fresh air.I started typing and glanced at the clock groaning realizing I have still half more to type but the time is nearly over.I never thought my loyalty would be a rope to my neck itself. Can’t this boss be some normal person who actually takes some person into job based on an interview based on their credibility?I was never used to this fast typing and not the fast writing for sure. How can I do everything perfect o

*Kalpana Pov*“Bye, Ma!” he mumbled, looking down and walked inside the school.“Hey! Don’t stress yourself about it, Kalpana. He will come around for sure.” Jhanvi said, placing her hand on my shoulder.“I will be on my way to work.” I mumbled, not wishing to point out my exact thoughts and fears which she understood giving me a small nod.“Thank to god we are here together. You know I am really mad at you.” Pallavi said the moment I walked passing the gate.I gave her a little glance and continued to walk with her following me. I sighed, wishing she just leave me for today when I don’t know what would I say or do or maybe I will just cry again.“You said you will call me giving me a brief about his reaction, but you didn’t.” she continued when we walked inside the elevator and I closed my eyes.“Kalpana! What happened?” she asked in a gentle tone.“I will talk to you later.” I finally replied, forcing out the words feeling relief when we reached her floor.“Okay! Just… I… I hope eve
