Prologue #1
“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, glaring at him.
“Fine! The information is about your aunt.” He said shrugging and started getting up but my hand stopped him.
“What? What is the information?” I asked, pulling him back.
“You are mad at me, right?” he asked raising his eyebrow.
I stared at him for a minute and understood his intention. I shook my head saying, “I will not accept that it is my mistake too be mad at you.”
“Then I will not tell you.” He said, staring back at me.
“Fine!” I said, standing up and started walking towards the door.
“Fine? Do you even know what I am talking about?” he asked with shocked tone.
“I will just go down and tell Dad and Mom that you got the information but not telling me. Then I will even call my Dad who will do something to know about her sister, right?” I asked and turned to open the door.
“Wait! I will tell you. I can’t tell this to him directly.” He replied, rushing towards me and closed the door before I can open it.
“What is it?” I asked, feeling dread inside hearing his panic tone.
“She is no more.” He replied holding me tightly to himself.
“She… she died… she…” I couldn’t say a word properly.
“Yes! But…” he started and I immediately turned around.
“What?” I asked, staring at him.
“She has a daughter.” He replied and I immediately pushed my tears away.
“She has a Daughter? My cousin? I mean, I have a sister?” I asked frantically and he immediately nodded.
“And there is too much more.” He replied sighing.
“You have been trying for this for too many days.” I stated and he nodded.
“Okay! I am ready to listen.” I said, gripping myself and at the same time wishing I have a way to break this news to Dad.

*Kalpana Pov*“You are doing great.” I heard someone whispering while patting my forehead with a cold cloth.“Ahhhh!” I screamed for the millionth time with tears falling from my eyes.“Keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn’t lose consciousness.” I heard the instruction from the doctor.“Maaa….” I screamed, holding the pillow tightly, wishing she was here beside me.And suddenly I wanted to cry, ignoring the pains and everything. How did I reach this stage? I want to shout at myself.“Do you really love me?” I asked, staring at him.“Yes! And we are getting married too.” He replied smiling.“But…” I mumbled frowning and turned to stare at his mother.“I could never ignore his wishes even if I try which I did.” She said sighing making me flinch.My Mom died being as their caretaker, but that was too many years ago. I just came to thank them for their consideration for the education fees they paid a few years ago for my graduation.But had to stay back on Maam’s insistence and now

*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*“Are you Ms.Kalpana?” someone asked, startling me when I opened my mouth near the reception desk to introduce myself.“Yeah!” I replied, turning around to see an old man smiling at me.“Great! We were waiting for you.” He said turning around and gestured with his hand to follow him.“For me?” I asked, clutching the file to my chest.“Yeah!” he replied, turning around with a frown.“But I am just a normal clerk right?” I asked, not taking a step ahead and he just stared at me.“Our clerk left the company and made sure to leave lots of work. So, we are in dire need of a clerk. Any other questions?” he asked after a few minutes and I shook my head.“Good! Now, the timings will be from morning ten to evening five.” He added again walking.“That’s it?” I asked, remembering the timings of eight to six.“Yes! Will you continue to get shocked with everything?” he asked, turning back with a frown covering his face.“I am sorry, Sir! I am just little overwhelmed.” I replied, hopin

*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.
Past or Present #1,#2,#3 Chapter 5
*Kalpana Pov*“What are you doing?” I let out a small scream before turning around to see Pallavi walking near to me.“Tell me you have a mother.” I ordered walking near to her.“What?” she asked, laughing.“Please tell me you have a mother.” I pleaded her this time.“Yes! I do have a mother.” She said nodding.“Ok! Now, your mother is not feeling well because of which you were late to come to the office.” I stated and turned around feeling relief.At least one lie will not be revealed as a lie before him! I thought walking near to my desk or which soon going to be my ex-desk.“What actually happened, Kalpaana?” She asked, reaching near to my desk when I sat down and sat opposite me.I took a deep breath and explained everything that happened each and everything not hiding my thoughts too.“So, you are going to accept that your Mom is not feeling well. I don’t want him to think me as an outright liar.” I added at the end.“You want me to tell him that my Mother is in the hospital?”

*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*“Done?” I glanced up from the system only to see him standing near my table.“Yes, Sir! I was about to bring it.” I mumbled finally taking out the papers and adjusted them before giving him.“I just got an important call. So, I have to leave early.” He said shrugging along with checking the papers.“You are improving well.” He added turning around not even looking at me.I shook my head and sat down. He talks like no one is around him and gives compliments like giving them to the air surrounding him.Why am I even surprised by this when I am seeing the same for the past few months? At least he is saying good things! I thought reminding myself and pushed away remaining thoughts.“Did you send notification to everyone regarding the salary being released today?” Mr.Girish asked walking near to me.“Yes, Sir! Everyone is excited too.” I replied, smiling and stood up realizing it is lunch break.“You also seem to be excited.” He said smiling.“Yes! I thought of a gift for Sud

*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
