CHAPTER 6 : Meeting Old Friend
--------------------------------------------------------

Inara walked inside the house late at night. She let her hijab fall down on the ground and put the pins carefully. She was quick to change her dress . She has been tired from the party and the relief she felt after reaching her home was immeasurable.

She laid down on her bed staring out of the little window . It was open . She always used to keep it like that , so that she could wait for the little stray cat who would occasionally eat in Inara's house .

She laid her head on the side , but a meowing voice came . She turned her head around trying to find where this cat had hidden this time . Her mood lit up and she decided to call the cat out of its hiding spot . "Luna!!" She called , but no voice came again as if the cat was really into this game .

Inara smiled and opened her purse . There was a packet of cat treats . She opened it while squeezing and scratching the plastic to make noise . The adorable brown cat quickly came outside which was hiding under the bed.

Inara fed it with a smile on her face. She loved the cat dearly . After feeding, she closed her eyes laying down her bed . She was still feeling down after coming from the party and a worry about the blind girl was still in her heart . The cat somehow sensed it and cuddled in Inara. She didn't even need to open her eyes to know that it was the sweet Luna .

Throughout the night , Luna purred while snuggling in her chest and it relaxed Inara.

In contrast to the sweet night , the morning was quite loud . The voice of the cooker and her mother crying about Inara delaying her surrogacy fell into her ears.

If it was possible , Inara wanted to escape all this . She might not be the most pious or perfect muslimah , but she wanted to follow ths rules and regulations as much as she could.  Her parents were opposite. They just cherry picked the rules and left the rest .

Inara had tried to correct them , but when they were resilient , she decided to just drop her ideas . Once in a while she would narrate them the ayahs and they would turn a blind eye to it. Her probelm didn't remain just that , but now they were forcing their principles on her . Surrogacy was forbidden , yet they kept on pushing her .

Just like another day , she decided to just delay it more . She got up and left for work. 

Her mood remained dull throughout the whole shift , until her department head Mr Ahuja came .

"You look pretty off today.. everything fine?" He asked her with worry . She gulped the coffee quickly and gave a little nod while standing up.

"Yes it's fine . Is there anything I can help you with?" She asked staring at him , knowing he don't bug her unless he needs some work done.

"Actually, the boss is calling you" Mr Ahuja's words shocked her . She quickly turned towards her purse and pulled out a mask hiding her face . There was no way he would actually remember her . Right?

She got up from her chair holding her stuffs . "Is there any idea why? Exactly?" Inara inquired .

"He looks furious , he even threw a file and asked Sohail as to why you ain't fired" The boy with perm hair , whome she saw the very first day said interrupting the conversation.
