I had applied for leaves, as there were accumulating in my kitty, and before that, I had a job to do. We have a customer, who owns a factory in a small town, which is some miles away from our town. The businessman had applied for a loan, and he was our old customer. As an official formality, we must visit the factory, and check all the documentation. The businessman was out of the country, so his managers will take care of it. I was told to visit the factory in my own time, however, I decided to do my work about time rather than doing in my own time. The leaves which I applied was enough for my time off and will have a whale of a time with Torrie and her family members. I didn’t want to make time to visit the factory, so I completed all my pending accounting works.
Later, I was handed over with the official documents, I killed the time by deciding to visit the factory in two days. I told Torrie about it. Rey and Angie were also informed about it. Rey has his owned restaurant nearby, so he would check my house, and Angie would visit Torrie, so she shouldn’t be alone.
I always had the copies of my work which I execute, and these papers, I always carry with me in my bag. Not to mention, I carry these papers to home, it just another way to keep retracing my work, thus keeping me update.
The day had come of my visit. I packed my portmanteau, which contained few clothes, official papers and some books to read. The official process will take at least two or three days, so I was well prepared. Torrie gave me the Divine Locket and the tiny boxes of Holy Vermillion; she always says that we may never know when the evil will befall. I gave one of my ATM cum Debit Cards to her, and some spare cash. At first Torrie refused, but I insisted to take some money, as I won’t be at house for few days. Rey and Angie too insisted my sweet Torrie to take the money. They were present to sea off me. Angie would stay with Torrie, until I come, and Rey would always be there. Rey and Angie really cared about Torrie, as she was the youngest in the family.
The clock ticked at seven thirty, the office sedan has come to pick me up. Torrie whispered, “Take care darling. Call me when you reach.” I replied, “Yes sweetheart.” I lifted my portmanteau. The bank had arranged for my pickup and drop. I bid bye to Torrie, Rey and Angie.
The sedan moved, the journey was a three-hour journey, so I will reach at 10:30 am. The office provided me with the details of the person, I must meet. The person was an ex-employee of the bank. The driver knew the address as he had been here. I informed the driver to stop the car near the place, where there are hotels. As it is a highway, so there are many hotels near it. We reached the hotel, I told him to have breakfast with me, at first, he was a bit reluctant, but I convinced him, we had our breakfast, and later we were set for the journey.
The sun was surging up in the sky, hitting my cornea. “I need an optometrist.” I whispered to myself, thus reclining on my seat. The sedan moved on swiftly, so as it was morning, there were less traffic. I was calibrating as the journey would be long. In my previous verification, I had never been to so distant place.
