AhnahI sit on the WC, scrolling through my phone and waiting for Aput's call, away from my roommate's music and glares. I swear she hate it when I'm in the phone because why would her speak bevon crazy high whenever my phone rings.As I mindlessly scroll through social media, I pause when I see a picture of a former colleague, Panik. I feel the familiar jaws of envy clench my chest and hands as I look at her smiling back at the camera, her beautiful killer body in full-on assasin mode in a tiny pink bikini, the backdrop of a brilliant blue ocean and clear blue skies on a yacht, the give away that she’s on holiday in yet another exotic location. I roll my eyes at the #vacay caption of the post and let out a long hiss as I scroll past it.The privacy of my restroom is the only place I can express this unjustified jealousy, unjustified because she's not only nice but also intelligent and beautiful, so like the full deal and so deserves all the #vacay.Three years after we were both hire

The Usual
Chris I am out of the northbound train as soon as the doors slide open, shoving my way past the unruly commuters who don't have enough travel decorum to wait for people to alight before they board. I run all the way up the escalators and make a mad dash out of the station onto Avenue Road.At 8pm, I am two clear hours later than when I should have picked Muna up from her day care centre. As much as I have tried to limit my hours at the hospital to a maximum of five, there are days like this when it is out of my control. Thankfully, the owner of the childcare facility, Hazel lives close to home, which is the main reason I chose it over other less expensive and easier accessible options. But as I half walk and half run down the street, the hefty penalty makes me which I had noise cancelling headphones.The frown on Hazel's face when she opens the door does very little to conceal her disapproval."I'm so sorry about this," I say, as she hands over my sleeping daughter.

Staking Claims
Chris I jolt myself awake just in time not to miss my stop on Monday morning. I buy myself a cup of coffee and walk to the hospital knowing I need every ounce of caffeine I can get. Muna’s sniffles manifested into a full-on cold this past weekend, so neither of us got much rest. But after dropping all my weekend shifts, dropping another one today isn’t even an option. Surely a beautiful way to start the week. “You look totally wasted!” my friend, Josie exclaims when I walk out of the elevator on to the outpatient floor where I have consultations that morning. “Let me guess; another tough weekend?” “You called it,” I answer with a shrug. “Why don't you just get a live-in Au Pair? After Brexit, the European ones are even cheaper than they were before. Kavya keeps threatening to get one and send her mother back to India.” “Weren’t Kavya’s parents born here in England?” He chuckles. “Yeah, but it still feels good seeing the look on my mother-in-law’s face when she hears

AhanaI refresh the Bankit website for what might just be the hundredth time that day. Scratch that. Thousandth. It is Monday, the day the results of the scholarship exam are to be published. I click my tongue with my rising impatience. It is already 2pm. Would publishing the results earlier in the day have been so hard?. It has taken forever because their process involves not just scoring candidates on their exam but also running paperwork with their partner universities, we have already had a two-month wait to get to this point.“What’s up Ahana?” Valerie, a friend who also wrote the exam, calls me on the phone yet again. “Have you seen yours?” I retort.“But why's it taking forever?” Valerie grumbles.I sigh as I refresh the page yet again. Nothing. It starts to dawn on me that this might just be a precursor to the real bad news. What if neither of us is successful?“I will check on you later, don't stop checking!” Valerie pleads. “I’ll be doing the same here. If you get the firs

Breaking the news
Ahana“You were successful?!”I smile, smug from the good news I have just given him. I am pleased not only to have proved his theory about Bankit wrong, but that he can admit how much he underestimated me.“I sure did! I told you it wasn't any fraud.”“And they’re paying your full tuition?”“Full tuition and living expenses for the entire year! The same offer as last year.”“This is unbelievable. Send me the letter so I can see for myself.”I frown, his doubt making my excitement wane. Does he think I’m lying or what? Deciding I lose nothing by sending him the letter, especially as he’ll see it eventually anyway, I do just that.“Unbelievable!” he exclaims, when he reads it. “The full £20,000 tuition and another £8,000 for living expenses? Unbelievable!”“Believeable!” I chuckle. “It takes into account the ten months of the academic year, from September this year to June next year.”“Are they going to give you the cash?”I frown. “Not the tuition, I don't think. And I’d much rather t

Why we should stay hidden
ChrisI look at the brunette sitting in front of me, the Au Pair the agency has sent, Greta, is a young Danish girl who has been in London less than a year. Her English isn’t great, and it is an initial worry for me, especially with Muna just becoming conversational. But demure and diminutive, she is nothing like the buxom Astrid, which could be a good thing as there’s a lower chance of me stumbling on any strange people in my house.Or is there?Last minute, I decide that is a risk I can’t take.“It’s not a live-in position,” I tell her. “Will that be a problem?”“I live Belsize Park,” she beams as she raises a finger. “Only one bus.”Perfect.We finalise plans for her to come in the mornings, early enough to prepare and take Muna to day care, and leave when I get back from the hospital at 9pm. On nights I have social events, she’ll sleep in, but only on those.Everything is sorted.She starts work the next day, arriving nice and early at 7:30am. She is effective enough, except her cu

Dreams do come true
CHAPTER FOUR AhanaI curse as the WiFi acts crazy. Sitting in front of my personal laptop with my earphones plugged in, with less than a minute before the commencement of the Bankit Zoom call, this is the worst possible time for me not to have Internet access. I cast a desperate look at my office environment and will the noise stop, but of course that will be impossible.At 4pm, it is peak time at the bank and, even though I have only one more week left there, the last thing I need is an audience for this call with the executives of the organization giving me the scholarship and, indeed, the chance of a lifetime. Making the last minute decision I grab my personal laptop and dash into the small meeting room adjacent to my desk, locking the door behind me for good measure. By the time I log in using the earlier shared credentials, it is already two minutes past 4pm.My heart races as I stare at the boxes of each of the 28 attendees, many of whom have their cameras switched off and mic

Ahana Finally landed. My first trip outside Canada. I try to get used to my environment. The air surely is different. That's why I have only stuck to Canada, because I can't imagine myself elsewhere, sweating or shivering. Another sharp gust of wind slaps me in the face, and I marvel anew, but as I get on the horizontal escalator, as larger than life adverts welcome me to London as I glide on the moving walkway, I forget the air and take in my new reality. I have left Canada. I'm in London. I will soon be reunited with Aput. And that is enough to make me excited all over again. Going through immigration is a breeze. I stick to my scholarship story and, as Aput advised, I make no mention of him at all. As I move on to get my luggage, I can’t help but be amazed over how seamless the whole thing has been. As I wheel the trolley bearing my suitcases, I am even angry with myself for all the time I wasted being nervous about this whole thing. It’s been a walk in the park. Stepping into

Crazy new beginnings
Ahana“I don't understand. What’s this about flatmates, Aput?” I ask, casting him a plaintive look, begging him with my eyes to put me out of my misery by telling me this is all a prank.But instead, he frowns. “What do you mean ‘what’s this about flatmates’? I never mentioned living alone. Do you know how expensive rent is here?”My mouth opens but no words come out. I am rendered speechless.“Please be mindful of the jokes you make, ” he chuckles, pushing my suitcases under the bed. “Even with all my complaints, you were expecting me to live in a flat alone?“So, why did you ask me to come stay with you if you don't have a place to yourself?” I finally found my voice.He looks at me. “I have a bed. Or isn’t that enough? Must you occupy every square inch of this flat before you’re satisfied?”A bed. My eyes widen when the import of what he has said hits me.“Do you share this room with anyone?”The shift of his eyes is my answer and I cover my face with my hands.“Don’t be melodramat

Au pair drama
ChrisMy phone rings as I step out of the train station and I immediately reach for it in my pocket, thinking it might be Greta calling about Muna. It’s a Saturday morning and I have started taking on the extra workload I need to fast track my specialization. It has been four months and things are going great with Greta. She and Luna get along, and I can put in more hours at work. It’s been a win-win situation.Except it isn’t Greta calling. I shut my eyes and grimace as Ada’s name flashes on the display of my phone, tempted to ignore the call as I have been doing for the last few weeks. After running out on her when we met months ago, she’d gotten my number from Eli and called. I’d been happy to hear from her and we met up for dinner that night. But unlike the last time when our conversation had flowed seamlessly, without the support of alcohol, I found her incredibly boring. My mind wandered as she’d droned on about topics I had no interest in. It was a big disappointment and I foun
