Two weeks passed doing late night works in his office. He reduced my remaining salary for this month in various occasions. What all he is going to do more? I don't have anything to lose hereafter.

Everyday starts with my mom's scolding followed by my dad's kisses, Veronica's smiling face, Aadhvik's glare and ends with Ruhi's gossip session, Dua's mocking and Inaaya's consoles.

Today is also going to be same. Nothing special. I had to work on an important file today as it has to be submitted the next week and I managed to complete it around eleven thirty. I went to Aadhvik's cabin and submitted the report. He went through it and said it was fine.

Surprising!

I offed the lights and he was already in his car. I went and took my seat and we were heading towards my home.

On the way, he looked back and took something from the back seat.

"Here, hold it" he said giving me the file that I was working on.

"Why are you giving me this Sir" I asked taking the file.

"I forgot to keep it in my room. Tommorow morning go and keep this in my cabin. I have to attend a meeting in Delhi tommorow and my flight is on morning three. Remember this is an important file. So be careful." He glares at me.

I knew this is an important file so I have to leave all those fun aside and be serious. I nodded my head. He dropped me in my home around twelve fifteen and I went inside to keep the file under Ruhi's studying desk while Ruhi was still awake studying for her exams. The same gossip session took place between us. I then texted Veronica telling I reached home and about the file.

Since Ruhi couldn't wake up late alone she said me to be awake also. So I called Dua and Innaya. Innaya told about her surgery which she is going to do tommorow morning at six. I don't know which couple was that who wanted to delivery their baby at six morning. I would probably withdraw the plan to giving birth if I had to go through a C-Section six in the morning. Weird!

"She is a businessman's wife and I am gonna witness her surgery. Woah!" Innaya sounds really happy.

Then Dua starts about her work and followed by me. We didn't feel to end the talk, but we hardly have to as Innaya have to wake up early for her operation. Ufff! When did she grow this much to take a baby out? Time runs fast isn't it?

It was three when the call ended.
THREE! Hmm.... Aadhvik's flight would have started by now. Ruhi also completed studying and we two went back to bed.

The sun raised as usual. I woke up early today and stretched myself. It was five. I woke up too early to be honest. I head out of my room proudly because I am not a morning person. How nice it feels to wake up without mum's scolding early in the morning. I texted Veronica who is a morning person and said I would reach office early in the first bus which goes to my office stopping.

My dad who was reading newspaper literally serched for his specs inorder to make sure that it is me and not Ruhi. And trust me when he came to know that it was me, his reaction was priceless.

I then walk all way to the kitchen and my mom is immersed in cooking that she failed to notice it was me,

"Come Ruhi. Do you want milk?" She asks

"Esha Here!" I clear my throat and my mom couldn't believe what she heard for a minute. She looks up in suprise and finds me standing with a proud feeling.

"There is nothing to feel proud. Don't over react" she started yelling me. Oh my mother! When did she even change? I spoke with her for some time and then went to take a bath.
