It's me ✓

Chapter 12

Durga's POV

Today is the fourth day of my job, and I think it's going well. I am having office works now, to get familiar with the works. 

My department head Mrs. Anjali is a friendly woman just like Nith... her husband Mr. Deepak is the CEO of this company and he is also friendly with the employees. They have two children's Anaya and Amaya, twins, two lovely munchkins.

Anjali is a carbon copy of Nith, never shuts her mouth. But that is what makes me feel good. I was really worried about being in a place with strangers... But with her, I don't feel that way. 

She is very supportive and encouraging... On my first day, I was tensed and her smile and confidence gave me the strength to overcome it, just like my mamma who stood beside me when I was broken...

Mamma... I miss her...  Really miss her... 

Yesterday Nith called me to say about her date with Vishnu, she said it was just like her dream. Vishnu begging her to forgive him and she made him agree with her rules

1. Don't look at any other girl

2. Always say 'I love you' to her

3. Always say how beautiful she is

4. Always say how lucky he is to get a girl like her

God the list goes on... And at last that poor man agreed to all her crazy demands and they are officially boyfriend and girlfriend...

Nithya is on the moon now... She is so happy... God, please always keep her happy like this...

After reaching her home she visited my home, everyone asked for me and when they knew I am not coming they all were so sad...

I shouldn't do this to the people who supported me through all this... But... But I don't want to be a burden for them anymore.

Already they suffered a lot by being parents of a girl... A rape victim... I don't want to make them suffer anymore.

Maybe one day I will go back to them... But that day is not today or any near day.

"Durga, are you crying?" I woke up from my thoughts by hearing Anjali's voice.

"No... No..." I wiped my tears " I was just..."

"Thinking about your family?" She asked...

"Yeah..."

"What girl? What will you do when you get married? Trust me, at that time, you will miss them most... New family, job, babies everything will make you busy, all we get is the time when we call them... You naah, do one thing, call them now... Come on..." 

"No, I am fine... It's just..."

"No, you are not fine... Call them Durga"

"But I have to complete this work..."

"Uff, this girl... Put that in that aside and call... Your work here is over, this is just an additional work..."

"What you mean my work here is over?"

"Yaar... I mean your office work is over... You are doing well with it and I don't need any more proofs on that and tomorrow onwards you going to meet our clients and is going to design there needs as they like..."

"But... But I am just a fresher... I don't have..."

"Durga, if I am trusting you with this then why can't you trust yourself... You have all the potential to do it... Be confident and go with the flow... Tomorrow I am going to send you to a reputed company for renovating their office, if they liked your work then you will be working on their office until the work is done... This is what happens here, I give more priority to the satisfaction of my clients... And I am sure that you are going to make me proud" she said hugging me. "Now call your family"

"Ok.." I said and called my dada... I don't know what am I gonna say to them... It's been four years.

"Hello" I heard my dad's voice "Durga, baby, is that you?"

"Y...yess..."

"Oh my god... Baby... I am so happy... Dada is so happy..."

"I am sorry dada... I... I... I was being selfish..."

"No..no dear... We all know you needed time and no one is blaming you..."

"Thank you dada... I miss you..."

"Dada too miss you, baby... Nithya told us you got a job... Dada is proud of my little princess..."

"Dada..." I couldn't control my tears.

"Shh... Baby don't cry... Dada is here naahh... Don't cry... Ok dada going to come there to see my princess "

"No dada... I... I am fine... I will come there...but not now..."

"Ok... You can visit us whenever you want... Remember, you are always welcome to your parents."

"I love you dada..."

"Love you the most my baby girl..."

" Don't say this to mamma... I will call her later.... Now I have to go"

"Ok... I hope you will call her soon... She misses you"

"I know dada... I will call soon... Bye"

"Bye," he said and I cut the call.

All this time Anjali was rubbing my back... I leaned to her shoulder and cried... She hugged me and said sweet nothings to soothe my pain...

"Durga...  I know there is more to your story... You can trust me, dear... If you want to open up I am all ears..." She said patting my back and I nodded.

"Sorry... I ruined your dress" I said wiping my tears, there were wet patches of my tears on her dress...

"Yeah you did" she glared at me and then laughed " You are so cute Durga," she said flicking the tip of my nose and we both laughed.

"Come I will drop you cry baby... I am gonna miss you tomorrow, how about we go shopping... New stylish clothes to impress your client... Ohh but I forgot to tell you one thing"

"What thing?"

"The person you are going to see tomorrow is blind... But He is such a talented young man, who knows very well what he is doing... you can't impress him with your look, he just wants talent and trust... Which you already have..." She said while walking towards her car.

'I wish I will not let her hopes down... Tomorrow is going to decide my future...'
