68. The Office Job

"Did you contact the client and ask him the information we need?" I ask from Tanisha.She is one of the interns from the contact department of iAdverts. It's an advertising agency where I work. However, I'm from the research dept. My main task is to proofread, edit and analyse all the obtained data from researcher, investigators or data collectors and then hand over to the head of the department for their approval.Five months later after shifting to another state, I requested transfer papers from my previous college. I got admission in college here in California and completed my studies. Ryan and Tessa helped me in this matter because they had know-how of colleges here and their requirements."Yes. It's on my desk. I'll bring it you." Tanisha replies."Okay." I begin walking towards the elevator because my office's desk is on another floor.After completing my college degree, I did few internships here and there to gain some experience and to

69. Weekend Celebration

I'm utterly dumbfounded. On the other hand, Ashar is looking casual and relaxed with a small smile playing on his lips.He is in sapphire blue, cotton shirt, slightly wrinkled and his black blazer hanging on his arm. His rolled up sleeves are indicating that he is standing here for quite some time. The sapphire blue color is making him look fairer and smarter. His dark hair are falling over his forehead, almost touching his brows. That fringe haircut is giving him a different, boyish look.He ambles to me and stops just a step away. I feel as if I'm hallucinating or maybe it's all just a dream. But he speaks again in the same calm tone, forcing me to accept that I'm seeing him in front of me for real. "It's not good for your health if you're working this late.""How did you-you know I work here?" I stutter a question. I'm still frowning while moving my eyes up and down, examining his appearance.He shrugs, "I found out."I cross my arms, getting re

70. Are You Mommy?

Carol stares at the dance floor, sighing, "They're so cute, Sanaya. When will I get my man?"I don't respond to her because I'm lost again in my own thoughts. It has been three days I saw him outside my workplace and after that I didn't see any trace of him anywhere and this is further escalating my anxiety. Maybe he was just here to bother me now headed back to his home.I'm unable pay attention to office work as well. My mind has been keep thinking of the possible reasons he showed up all of a sudden. He even knows where I work."Earth to Sanaya." I hear a loud thump. It's Carol actually who has slapped the table in front, "I've called your name several times. What's the problem?"I become alert, "Oh, I'm sorry. I just zoned out.""What is it?""Nothing. It's work related." I take a mouthful sip from my drink."No, I think you're missing your daughter. It's all over your face."I just stare her wordlessly. I bite my lips to s

71. Another Surprise

There are few things that are really disturbing me. Firstly I clearly remember in my last letter I requested Zoya's paternal family not to tell her about me. But still they did. That means she maybe knows about me since the beginning and even waited for me.I gave a chance to Ashar and his parents to completely disconnect me from Zoya's life and expected them that they would use this opportunity for their own benefits, but they didn't. That girl called me Mom, it means they introduced me as her mother to her. There is definitely something I'm missing.Secondly, they even named her 'Zoya' and it's really stupefying. Why did they give so much importance to my opinion? I had never expected Ashar to consider my name suggestion. The thought that Zoya spent all those years, missing her Mom is breaking my heart. I didn't want her to be sad because of me. That's why I told Hobsons not to tell her about me.Next day in the office, another surprise awaits me. The CEO of t

72. The Office Task

"I don't think...um...I can work on Hobsons's project." I say hesitantly to Caldwell.As I said, I'm afraid of him a little and it's completely normal, after all he is the chief executive officer of the iAdverts.His eyes are focused on his laptop's screen, but when he hears me, he turns his attention to me, "Ms. Frances, I didn't ask your opinion on this matter. I'm quite busy right now. If you don't have anything important to say, then don't waste my time."Something very expected. I know I'm uselessly trying to convince him for this. The chances are very low that he'll listen to me because I'm just an employee here and don't hold much power."This is important. You said Ashar Hobsons is your special client. That's why I'm insisting you to please replace me. I'm not sure about my skills." I hope I'm not sounding desperate.He stands up from his office chair, "I think you're overly nervous about this. I've thoroughly judged the past performan

73. Repentance for Mistakes

"Is this one of your ways to hurt me and Zoya at the same time? Why are you playing with a kid's heart?" I'm getting restless now.He groans, "You're thinking wrong, Sanaya. Zoya is going to get her long lost Mom and trust me she's very happy about it.""Stop it, Ashar. I'm still unable to understand what's going on in your head and why are you here bothering me after so many years.""If you let me explain I can tell you why I took three years to come for you." He whispers solemnly.Come for me?Did he hit his head somewhere or what? Back then he didn't bear to have few minutes with me now he's acting all sugary. It's hard to swallow."It doesn't matter what were your reasons. Can't you see? I've moved on. I'm not interested in knowing your stories." I snap.I'm overwhelmed right now due to countless questions and confusions and those hints in his words. Those hints that say...that say..No, let's not go there. I'm not going to t

74. Playing with Words

Next day early in the morning, I get a call from Derek. He told me that Ashar has summoned the entire team to his office. He is holding a meeting there to give briefing about the new gadget his company is about to launch.This reminds me of Ashar's words he said to me yesterday that from now I'm going to see him frequently. I guess that phase has begun.I reach to the address Derek sent me on my phone after dropping Zoya to the daycare center where her father asked me to. It was the first time I slept with her. After uncountable sleepless nights, I got to sleep peacefully last night with my arms wrapped around my baby girl.I'm planning to take her to Ryan's house and introduce her to my friends. I'm certain they will get excited after seeing her. I want them to meet my daughter.I open the door and walk to the receptionist to get instructions. There are only few people at the lobby and the place itself is not quite spacious. I wonder why Ashar have an of

75. The Collection of Memories

Just before the sunset, I go to the day care center to pick up my daughter. By staying near to Zoya, I get to forget about Ashar problem and every other problem of my problematic life. However, that little kid reminds of my sin a lot more than before. I wonder how my parents would've survived after leaving me alone. Did they feel the same way like me? If yes, then they surely didn't have an easy life.I stop walking when I notice Ashar is standing at the front gate of the daycare with a yellow patterned paper bag in his hand. My mood is once again ruined.The corners of his lips curve upward into a smile as he looks at me. My nostrils flare. I don't know why he is keep showing me his puppy like smile. My heart flutters in a way I don't want to think about. He walks towards me. I stand straight and wait for him to explain his reasons of coming here."I thought it would be difficult for you to take care of her. But you're doing good." He again gives m

Next day, at the agency, I do my regular tasks. After I'm done proofreading the reports, I intend to take them to dept. head's office. They are actually the hard copies of all the research reports, needs a dept. head's final approval.I assemble them, hold them in my hands and then hurry towards Watson's office. I knock the door for once, push it opened and step inside in his office."Watson, these are the reports-" I stop in mid-sentence when I see Watson, department head is in meeting with someone.He looks at me. The man whom he was talking to also turns his head in my direction. An angry frown creases my forehead when I see Ashar there. He beams."Sanaya, please come inside." Watson waves his hand at me.Watson is a friendly, another middle-aged man. He is more humane than Caldwell. I'm happy that I work under him because he's not a difficult boss, but there are times when he acts like one.Reluctantly I walk forward and stand beside Ash

77. The Fake Complaint

Meeting with Alfaro goes good. He has agreed for the trial of new gadget. If he'll be satisfied with its performance, he assured us that his company will sign the contract with Hobsons's Electronics. Throughout the meeting, Ashar remained serious and professional. I'm thankful that he didn't try any funny business during meeting. He asks me to initiate the discussion by telling the CEO about the most beneficial points of his new product. After few minutes, he joined me and used all the persuasive tactics to convince him for the trial. I'm happy that eventually we accomplished the goal. When Alfaro finally leaves the restaurant, I stand up from my chair and walks out of the restaurant while silently thanking fate for ending these torturous moments. But soon my relief disappears into thin air when I find Ashar following me. "Where are you going?" He inquires aloud. I stop walking and turn around to face him. "To the office. My work with you is f
