Siddharth did eventually find out about my job. However, it wasn't that bad, as he did not prohibit me from working - mainly due to Keerthi.


FLASHBACK TO ONE WEEK AGO

It was a fine Sunday evening when the incident happened. Keerthi and my friendship has been blossoming - in fact we usually find ourselves hanging out every weekend whether it's going to the mall or just chilling at home. She was great company. Keerthi and I were sitting in the kitchen, enjoying some delicious cheesecake when the mailman stopped by. I was going to get the door, however, Siddharth bet me to it. Thinking that this letter was some trivial letter, I carried on chatting to Keerthi. Just then, Siddharth walked into the kitchen, with his fists clenched. 

"What?" Keerthi had said

"So you are working without telling me" yells Siddharth tumultuously slamming me against the counter

"Stop!" Yelled Keerthi pushing Siddharth away from me

"Who do you think you are!" He growled in rage

"Just leave her alone" Pleaded Keerthi, and tried to console me 

"Keerthi will you leave us alone. This is a issue between a husband and a wife. Don't interfere" He orders

"In case you don't know, I was the one who told her to begin working. If you're gonna argue, don't argue with her, do it with me" Keerthi says boldly

"So this was all your stupid idea! What's wrong with you!Just stop butting in our lives" He scolds

And the argument went on. After a solid 20 minutes Keerthi came up with a solution

"Okay then. Nisha will stop working, but I will tell everybody - including your parents  how you have been treating her. Happy?" Keerthi said

There is a moment of silence between Keerthi and Siddharth. Of course he felt threatened. With that, Siddharth left in silence - accepting the fact that I was working. 

"Now there is nothing he can do to stop you. If he ever brings up this subject again - just threaten him and he'll shut up" Keerthi whispered when he walks off

"Thanks so much Keerthi" I say hugging her tightly.

Keerthi is honestly my saviour

END OF FLASHBACK


All has been good since then. Siddharth is obviously being nasty as usual, but hasn't interfered in my teaching. I never intentionally try to talk to him, but today there is an important question I must ask him. 

"Siddharth" I mumble

"What??" He growls looking down at his iphone

"Um...I need to ask a question..." I begin

"Just hurry up bitch" He sighs

"I need a ride to school tonight. The kids are putting on a nativity play tonight...and all staff must attend" I explain

"And now I need to watch that boring -" He starts

"You don't have to watch it. Just sit in the car" I say

"You want me to sit in the cold while you are enjoying yourself inside. No way! I'd rather watch that play" He says reluctantly

"It's tonight at 7. Be ready by then" I say and head to kitchen
