Something Different

Chapter 11: Routine.

Maylin's POV:

So today I woke super late. It's not because I didn't have work or anything, my allergies started working up . There's one thing I can't control and it my allergies, they are so stressing and come out of the blue. If they come know that the next day you'll wake up a horrible mess. And that's my today, I'm late for Babu, my eyes are puffy, my lips are weirdly swollen. My nose even with my kinda dark shade of skin Its now completely red.

In total im a mess.

I can't go to Babu, at the most he will panic if he notices im sick. I can't do that to him. He has a problem of over caring for the people he loves.

But one thing I didn't notice, it's almost afternoon when I usually leave from Babu, and he sent me 10 missed calls at different intervals. Shit!

I checked even his messages, they were all asking where I was. And why hadn't I come yet. The last one read,

"If you dont call me in the next 30minutes . I'll go to your apartment myself." I looked at the time , he sent it 10:40am and it's now 11:50am . Oh shit!

As i was thinking of what next to do, I head a knock on the door . Noo, i ran to the mirror and looked at my hair, Its the most shocking of my whole face . Like i just look a mess, as i continued stalling the knocks started becoming louder by the minute. Think brain, what should I do? I looked left and right and it hit me.

I took my robe hanging on my chair, took my baggy hoodie, and hence I'm completely covered. And I slowly prayed he wouldn't ask much on my attire. I remembered i didn't brush my teeth so i ran fast to my bathroom brushing them in 5 seconds. And sprinting to the front door.

I slowly opened the door and hid against the door making half of myself seen. And there he was Babu in a suit? Trying to knock on the door before I came to open it. But just my luck, Arnold had to be behind him also wearing a suit.

Arnold gave me a skeptical look . I know at this point he had a right to.
Babu gave me a concerned look, do i look that bad? Or is it the whole cover up .

Babu was the first to speak up,

"Why have you covered yourself like that Linny?, And why didn't you pick up my call, what's wrong. Are you in trouble for anything?" Before I could say anything.

"I would believe it." And Arnold rolled his eyes at me. Maybe he now sees me an edgy woman . But who cares honestly.

"I..I" I stopped talking, shit I forgot how my allergies also ruin my voice . Babu showed all his concerns and said,

"What happened to your voice?"

"It's... Okay , I..." And my coughing spree started again. I couldn't hold it back and ladies and gentlemen my volcano sneezes finally erupted after a long time. I thought they were extinct. But I guess I was wrong. I moved away from the door and continued suffering from my terrible allergies, making me sit down on the next available seat. And then the tears exploded too, why today,why now, why with him watching. Fuck my life!!!

After the cooled down. I ran to my room due to utterly embarrassment especially Infront of him, after it calmed down a bit. I could regain myself a bit and then I braced myself for outside. Babu was sitting on the couch, looking in thought. Once he saw me he stood up and said,

"Why didn't you tell me your sick?"

"I'm not it's just my allergies, they'll die down slowly. Why did you come here?, Dressed like that?"

"Oh I was supposed to go to a celebration party being held at out company."

"Oh I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, you can go I can handle myself."
