Entangled {With Slaves Of Persia} (Book 2)

Meera's P.O.V. Continues.....

My life has been a living hell since one month. Day time it was my boss who kept creating a new problem for me every. His anger is something that keeps scaring me. Raj was always by my side helping me with the work that I wasn't supposed to do. He has been working hard to help me. Even thought he's helping me I don't know why, I still am not so comfortable with Raj's approach towards me. Sometimes he comes to my cabin without any work, which I am not liking. He keeps touching me here and there.

what should i do? i can't complain about him to Rahul sir, neither can i be firm to him since he has been helping me right from the first day in here and i may need his help in the future too...

I was so much in dilemma about what to do. That was during the day time and evening when I came back to hostel, it was Ruby who kept nagging and was hurting me with her words. Even though Sandy Didi kept telling me not to give any importance to people like her, I have my own limitations in handling people who hurt me a lot.

I made few friends at the office along with Kinjal and her husband Purab, there was Geet, with whom I was feeling good in interacting. 

It was the last day of the month, I was handed over a cheque of eighteen thousand Rupees. I wanted to jump seeing the figure on it. I was the most happiest person then while my boss kept observing me I kept all those feelings locked inside my subconscious mind. I did not wish to draw any more attention from him. Already he keeps yelling at me, why is he always angry on me...

Sometimes I feel like he is purposely being rude with me as if he has some grudge on me. Anyways he's the boss. The perks of bearing this angry man were high too and so it doesn't matter much to me now. Geet and I were walking towards the Metro station while on our way back to our respective nests the same evening.  'Meera why don't you go for a PG accommodation, when you have so much trouble with the hostel lady and also you are not paying less in there!' Geet suggested when I told her about Ruby, since I did not wish to spoil my mood especially that evening. 'What you are saying is good but they may charge more than the hostel rent' I was not willing to shell out any extra penny for the rent.

'See I know a lady who is interested in helping girls like you! She's a friend of my mom. I'll give you her number, you just call and tell her that Geet Arora has given you the number, she'll understand!'

may be i must give it a try....

Getting back to hostel, seeing the reception empty I felt much relieved and climbed those stairs fast to reach my room. Sandy Didi was already in there, I just was about to pass on the information as I needed a second opinion since Sandy Didi has been very helpful to me right from the first day in here.

'Hi Meera, I'm glad you're back early today, I have some good news to share with you!' said Didi very excitedly. I for the time being held back my information, giving her a chance to speak first.

'Yes Didi what's the good news?' I asked her sitting on my bed.

'See this ring' she said showing me her left ring finger that had a beautiful diamond ring.

'Is it new? When did you buy?' I asked her.

'I'm engaged...my boy friend of four years has finally asked me to marry him today afternoon while we both went out for lunch!' Didi sounded very happy, she hugged me sharing her happiness.

oh wow....

'You are the first person I shared this news with' she said and again hugged me.

'I am so happy for you Didi!'

'Meera I need to talk to you about something else too!'

'Yes Didi please tell me'

'Its actually, we, I mean Navin and I will be getting married soon, may be a month or two max.., So I think before I shift away from here, I want you to look for some PG accommodation!!' she just spoke my words.

It was then I told her that I too was looking for one and wish to shift from here. Didi supported me in my decision and I called the lady who's number Geet gave me. It was a cake walk for me to Pam Kaur's home, a beautiful Independent home. Geet already called Pam Aunty and informed about me, making my work easier. Within a day I landed at the PG accommodation on the first floor. The ground floor was rented to a family of four. The ambiance was very good and also the rent was just four thousand, same as the hostels' plus this rent was inclusive of food too. I could not bargain for anything more. The room was very simple and beautiful with a huge bed, air conditioner and also with attached bath, a balcony facing the road and also access to the television of hers.



'Thank you so much ma'am!' I said entering her home.

'No ma'am stuff with me please, I would be much happier if you addressed me as Aunty' said Pam Aunty who was around fifty five years I think. She has a little long hair just upto her waist and her looks were absolutely stunning even at this age.



Lying on the bed that evening I felt so relaxed. I never lived in a room so pleasant and lively.

The next day...

'Meera, here take this card, I want you to attend the party' said Kinjal handing me an invitation 'Didn't I tell you it's our first anniversary. We are inviting few close friends and you are one of them. It's this coming Saturday evening at our apartment and I don't want you to say NO' said Kinjal very excitedly.

'That's very nice but I don't think I'll be able to attend!' I said trying to convince her.

'I knew you would say that, so I requested Geet! She'll accompany you from you PG and drop you back safely. Is that alright?' said Kinjal. I didn't want to upset her so said 'Okay' since they all know that I am new to this city and I hardly know any places.

'Is the invitation only to few of your friends, not for me?' questioned Rahul sir from behind. We did not realize he was standing there at the door and listening to our conversation.

'I am sorry sir,  you too are definitely invited' said Kinjal hurriedly pulling out another invitation and was about to write his name on the cover while her hand was shaking.

'Just don't bother. I was kidding. Have fun!'  said Rahul sir putting a few steps ahead, he turned back 'by the way Happy Anniversary in advance!' he wished her and walked away.

'Oh thank you so much sir!' replied Kinjal while her forehead was shining with sweat 'Oh god! I am sweating' said Kinjal fanning her face with her right palm as we saw him leave.

I just froze.
