It's All Started With A Lie

Chapter- 3 Lie

Naina's POV

I woke up due to the sunlight which is emitting from the window; I groaned and looked at the watch, which was showing 11 am. I slept late last night as I was working on a story and I only get ideas at midnight. 

I already wrote like three stories and published one with a small publisher but it was a disaster as the publishing house doesn't even promote my work, and published a second book which is a children's comic book, that got good recognition. My third is book is a love story which was a hit too.

Now, I almost completed my fourth book. This time I am trying for a big publishing house to publish my book, which can promote my work.

I got off the bed and tried to walk to the bathroom, but I fell down on the floor as my leg tangled in the sheets. It was normal for me to fall down and stand up. It was actually my routine to kiss the floor every morning, just like now.

I did my morning business then took a shower. I dressed myself in a sky-blue top with black jeans, tied my hair in a pony then went out of my room.

"Have your breakfast and call me", there was a note on the table with a sandwich on the plate which is covered with cover. I am sure it was Pooja because Payal is still sleeping as she came home early in the morning. Her shifts are always irregular.

I called Pooja while having my breakfast.

I hit my elbow to the table while keeping the phone on the table after turning on speaker and hissed in pain.

"Don't tell me you already hit something and hurt yourself", she asked.

"Well, you know me", I chuckled. My friends know me inside out.

"After having breakfast without spilling on yourself, go to the function hall which I sent location and do the decoration, yaar. you are good in that", she said.

"Now tell me the truth", I asked, taking a bite from my sandwich.

"I was stuck in bride's house as they want me here for haldi, mehendi and all so, I was unable to go to the reception venue. As you know we are lack of staff, all the staff was engaged at wedding hall so, I need your help in decorating the reception hall", she explained.
"Don't worry I will send someone to help you", she quickly added.

"Ok, I will go there after having breakfast", I replied.

"You are the best, I love you", she exclaimed. I smiled and disconnected the call.

After having breakfast without spilling on myself, I reached the location which Pooja sent me, by bus. I messaged Payal to have her lunch after waking up.

I saw some plants on the right side of the entrance upon reaching there, they were near to dead, they need water. I saw around and saw a tap near the plants so I walked there. I found a bucket and a mug so, I put the bucket under the tap and turn on the water flow.

Eight years old me used to believe that filling the mug with water and pouring it in the bucket can fill the bucket early which is not true but 21 years old me still believes in that and of course, I have started doing that.

After filling the bucket and watering the plants, I went in. There is a man and a woman who are cleaning the hall.

"Are you Miss. Naina who came to decorate the stage", the woman asked.

"Yes", I responded.

 "Ok mam, come I will show you the stage", she said warmly and I nodded.

She took me to the stage where all the decorative things are kept. I checked all the things and opened picture which Pooja sent me, that's the decoration plan they decided. It's not very simple but not very complex either. I can do it as I was with her from the start, I learned a lot of the things.
