Adhira

After almost a month, I was able to sleep peacefully, knowing that I will soon have a job and won't be a burden on Ria anymore.

She thinks I don't notice, the visits from her boyfriend, or as of now, her fiancè has become very less, and I know it is because of me.

That guy literally hates me. I can see it in his eyes, and if that was not enough, I once accidentally read their texts.

I know it's very immortal and disrespectful to read a person's texts, but I actually didn't mean to. Her phone was not locked and I saw my name in the chats.

I got curious and so I read them to kind of know, what they are actually talking about me. I thought that the texts might be a little about praising me, considering I actually convinced her parents to allow her relationship.

But I still wish that I wouldn't have even seen the texts. Because they were a little abusive and about how my presence is disturbing.

It would've still been fine if they would have been one sided, but they were not. They both were bitching about me, behind my back. Even though Ria didn't quite accuse me of anything, it was still evident that I'm a huge disturbance in her life.

And it just made me a lot more conscious about what I speak and how I act. Obviously, she doesn't know it, and I struggle a lot to keep it that way.

Anyways, I just hope this interview goes well and I will finally have a job in a few days. Nobody can really understand the importance of a job in my life.

It's not just for earning money, but also for earning a life and making it the best. I never really had a childhood, but I was always told that adulthood is beautiful. And when I'm an adult I would be able to do whatever I wish.

So that is what I have to do. I'm grateful to Ria for everything, but I can't just continue to live with a guilt that I'm the reason her boyfriend and she have grown a little apart.

Anyways, not wasting more time on these thoughts, I quickly went to get ready.

.
.
.
I'm finally ready in what I think is appropriate for a professional stuff.
Oh, how badly I wanna just want to take blessings from my mom and dad.

I always wished that one day I would do something that would make them feel my existence.

all the memories are just flooding into my mind and I jaut hope I don't end up crying.

No Adhira, you can't cry.
We got this baby.
You got this.

Smile!

I told myself and with one last look in the mirror I walked out of my room to see Ria sitting on the sifa, chatting with someone.

"Oh, looks like someone is ready for nailing the interview. " She said joyfully, but there was something missing, and it was the shine in her eyes.

"Ria, are you fine? " I asked with worry.

"Oh yes, just couldn't sleep last night. Anyways, let's have some breakfast. " She said dragging me to the kitchen.

"Also, here, first take this. " She said handing me a envelope.

"What's this? " I asked.

"You've to give this to Ritvik Sir, when you meet him for the interview. " She said.

"You mean to say, that the CEO will interview me? " I asked.

"Oh yeah, normally it's not his job, but since the interview is for his personal assistant, he would do that. " She explained.

"So what would you like to have? " She asked me.

"No.. Nothing, actually I'm just not hungry right now. I will have some form outside when I get hungry. .I will leave now, don't wanna be late. " I said.

"Are you sure? " She asked, clearly finding whatever I said was a lie.

"Oh yeah. " I said and gave her a quick hug before walking out.

I am actually very hungry. But I don't really eat more than one meal at her house. And I don't really eat outside.

I know she has no problem with making me a breakfast, but I just feel that it makes whatever her boyfriend say as the truth. That I'm living at her place and eating her food for free.

And I'm not a freeloader!

I mean, I am currently, but I might just try to lessen it's extent.

So I only eat the amount require to survive. I know it's not healthy, eating less, walking long distances, but that just protects the little self esteem I have.

And anyways I won't die if o don't eat for few days. I know that.

I was from a little poor family, and we didn't really had a lot of money. Ria and I were in same school, until her father won a sudden lottery. In literal sense.

She shifted in the city and now she is what she is today. But I was left there. My father couldn't afford my education, so I cleaned the school everyday, so they would let me study there.

My father couldn't really provide much for me. Whatever he was able to provide was for my elder sister and the rest of the people in the family.

My elder sister was loved. Not a lot, but atleast loved. She was the first child of the family, whereas I'm the second girl child.

My mother used to work at a small hotel as a cook, one day my sister fell ill and mother sent me to replace her for a day so that she could take care of my sister.

But my sister died. The illness causesd the infection to spread through her whole body. My mom could never really do anything after that. She was just too lost in my sister's memories.

And the one day replacement, actually turned into my job. But it really exhausted me, since my mother used to be so lost in the memories, I used to cook and clean in the house and also work.

But I managed somehow, and I was able to pay my college fees.

But it kind of detoriated my health. As the money I earned, was spent on my college needs. And the money that my father earned wasn't really enough for the three everyday meals for a family of three.

So I got used to eating once or sometimes even nothing at all.

It all got fine when I actually secured a scholarship. I was able to eat two meals , help my father with the budget of the family, and in fact was even able to buy myself a phone, until my dad dropped the huge bomb on me.
