This story takes place when a very ambitious girl moves out from Kolkata to Mumbai to Pursue her career as a Professor Of English literature and as a young business woman. She moves next door to Mahesh's apartment. what will happen when this introv...
I woke up from the sound of my alarm. I looked at the time it was 10:30 am in the morning.
I woke up a bit late today, I thought.
Today is Sunday which means from tomorrow I'm going to start my job in college. A part of me is excited and a part of me is nervous. What if the students don't like me?, Again a negative thought Sima! I mentally slapped myself for thinking the odds first. I quickly made my bed and went to brush my teeth and wash my face. The silence of the whole apartment of mine comforted me. I came out of the bathroom a few minutes later. Picking my phone up from the bedside table. No new messages and 2 missed calls. One from Sameera and one from Mom?. I checked the call list again and yes it was Mom I wasn't reading wrong. I excitedly called her back sitting on the bed.
Ring Ring Ring
"Hello".
"Hi ma" I beamed in excitement.
"Did you arrive safely yesterday?" Asked mom.
"Yep and Nancy helped me a lot. Everything is sorted here" I replied to her question.
"Okay. Have you eaten yet? Did you eat yesterday?" She asked again. I could feel the coldness in her voice.
"Yes mom. I ate yesterday and no I haven't eaten in the morning, I just woke up." I replied not feeling the urge to talk on this topic.
"Please, Follow your eating schedule dear, you know what happened last time" she said sternly but she said in a caring voice.
I internally cringe at her bringing the past topic back as I replied with "hmm I will, don't worry."
"Okay I will talk to you later I have a meeting to attend. Bye" said mom.
I muttered a quick bye as she hung the phone.
"Why do they always bring back that horrible topic." I said to myself in frustration. My stomach growled in hunger as I sighted and went to the kitchen taking out the jam and bringing the bread to toast. In silence I started to toast the bread as again a thought popped inside my head. "She didn't ask when I was starting my job in the college." Again I said to myself "she doesn't care. No, they don't care about my job." I sighted at my thoughts.
I was going to make some coffee when I noticed the grocery pantry and cabinets were empty. "I need to go for a bit of grocery shopping", I thought. I took my bread out of the toaster and quickly started spreading the jam over it as I sat on the small dining table and ate in silence. "Oh shit! I need to call sam" I thought. I quickly phoned her. She replied within a couple of rings. We talked to eachother until I finished my food. Our talk were normal bestie talks. We talked a bit about our business then about some places in West Bengal where some event contracts were signed. She expressed her frustrations of how she has to handle everything on my absence. I laughed in response, "what so funny Sima?" Asked Sameera. "I love to see you all irritated.", I said which made her huff in frustration. We talked a bit more of doing some arrangements here and there. "Kay Sima gotcha go I have to put the employees on the projects and process some mails. Talk to ya later." I hummed in response as she cut the call.
I took my empty plate and putted it inside the dishwasher. I turned it on and it started doing it's washing job. Luckily I learned using dishwasher when I was in a farmhouse once on a family vacation.
I went to my bedroom to change my clothes. I'm going to go for some grocery shopping, right now it's 11:30am. I thought of calling Nancy to accompany me to a grocery store but then thought again, "I cannot disturb her for everything she is here for her job too". I thought I will figure it out by myself, maybe see in the Google map for some more shop Infos near me.

(P.S Sima's outfit :-P)
I grabbed my purse and phone and checked the gas and everything to make sure nothing is turned on while I'm off for some boaring shopping. I took my door key, locked my door. I summoned the elevator and walked in. Minutes later I was in the ground floor already existing the complex. I used my Google map to find the nearest grocery store. It was 15 mins away. I started walking according to the direction.
"Finally" I muttered to myself when I was infront of the jio reliance grocery store. I went inside checking my list. I grabbed a trolley and started stocking it up with the foods and necessary groceries.
Finally when I was done I looked at the time. "Holy shit 2:15 God I have been here for almost 2 hours", I thought.
Soon after buying all my groceries I came out of the store. Taking a walk back to my complex. It took me much less time to reach my complex than it took me to reach the store. I quickly went inside the complex while giving the security uncle a small smile.
While checking my phone I went inside the elevator as it was already on the ground floor. As the door was going to close I heard a voice saying "roko roko, (stop stop)".
