Laya was extremely happy after listening to her employer's words. She decided to give her best and climb a step in her career. Receiving the responsibility of one branch is something that is going to improve her financial status. She boarded the city bus and sat in an empty seat. She is happy that she managed to get a seat today. From past 1 week she is travelling by standing. She took out her mobile and plugged in her earphones. She listened to her favourite songs which are perfectly matching with the cloudy climate.
When she reached her stop laya got down and walked towards her street. She lives in a typical middle class locality . People around her include her own family struggles everyday to fulfill their necessities. Her father used to work in a factory as accountant but he unfortunately died because of a cardiac arrest when she was 15 years old. That incident made her strong mentally. Her mother used to stitch clothes for their survival. Laya used to give tuitions to kids in her free time . She have a younger brother who is a big trouble maker. He never listens to her words or their mother's words. He is 4 years younger than her. He is addicted to betting and always ends up loosing money or getting into a fight with someone. Because of him she receives lot of lewd comments from poeple. But she is bearing everything hoping that one day she will get a chance to shine. She stopped infront of her apartment. It is named as 'HARMONY HOMES'. the apartment lacks hormony for sure and she always thought that they named it like that for balancing it by at least naming it as hormony homes.
She waited for the noisy elevator to come down and take her to the 4th floor. She lives in a 2bhk apartment along with her mother and brother. That's the only thing her father left for them other than the fixed deposit in the bank. She came out of that old elevator and walked towards her flat. There are 10 flats in each floor excluding the 5th floor which is the last. It has only 5 flats. She took of her sandals and kept them in the shoe rack. She knocked the door amd waited for her mother to open it.
Her mother urmila opened the door and gave a smile to her and took her bag from her hands.
Urmila : how was your day laya ?
Laya : It was good amma.
Urmila brought a glass full of water for her. She took the glass from her mother and gulped them .
Laya went into her room and changed into some casual clothes and went into the kitchen. She made tea for her mother and herself. She came into the living room and saw her mother who is engrossed in stitching a pretty lehenga.
Laya : it's nice !
Urmila : did you like it ? Even that girl looks like you. It will look good on her.
Laya : hmm.
Urmila : I always feel like stitching something like this for you.
Laya : what will i do with that amma ? Am i going to any functions for wearing it ?
Urmila : why you will always ignore the wedding and other invitations that we receive ? We should never isolate ourselves from the society child !
Laya : did your relatives help you when nanna was dead ? At least your own sister ? Did she care about you ?
Urmila was silent.
Laya : that is how it is amma. People are ready to share happiness but they won't be ready to share other's grief. I heard people saying that we will die within few days by killing ourselves but it didn't happen . It's been 15 years since nanna died. We are still alive.
Few tears escaped from urmila's eyes. To cut the conversation she started stitching again. The sound of the sewing machine overpowered the sound of her muffled cries.
Laya went into her room and opened the restaurant's website. She checked the number of online orders placed by the customers and the amount earned on that day. She also did follow up calls to the people whom she picked for redesigning work. Suddenly she got alerted by the loud banging sound on the main door.
Urmila : laya !
Laya went outside and opened the door. Urmila stood behind her. They saw a tall and fat guy with hair as long as laya's hair. He is looking at her with a grumpy face.
Laya : who are you ? What do you want ?
That guy : our boss is calling you .
Laya : he must have mistaken. Why your boss will call me ?
That guy : I don't know . You are mahesh's sister right ?
Laya : yes !
That guy : he is with my boss.
Laya : what ?
That guy : yes ! He fooled my boss and made him to invest money at a casino club. My boss lost 60 lakhs because of your brother.
Urmila : what ? 60 lakhs ?
That guy : yes !
Laya : where is your boss ?
That guy : he is at his place.
Laya : take me there !
That guy : give me 500 rs. My boss didn't pay my salary yet because of your brother. I don't have money for petrol.
Laya : give me the address ! I will go by walk.
That guy : I won't give the address. Give the money. I will take you.
Laya : fine !
She went inside and changed her clothes and took her bag . She came outside and saw her mother who is in the kitchen.
Laya : amma ! I will be back soon.
Urmila : ok ! How will you pay 60 lakhs laya ?
Laya : I won't pay. Mahesh will pay by working.
Urmila : tell something that is possible.
Laya : I will make that happen.
Laya went along with that guy and as she came downstairs . she saw an old ambassador car which is rusty. She wondered if this car will at least give 5000 rs when he sells it.
That guy : sit !
Laya nodded and sat in the car
