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

I was so happy checking the whatsapp message from Rahul sir.

I will send him the email tomorrow....i'm so excited.

I fell asleep instantly.

The next morning...

'Didi, Rahul sir agreed, he's granting me leave for ten days. I am so excited'

'Is it?!'

'Yes Didi last night he texted me. I am super excited, so when are we leaving?' I asked her in a very exited tone while preparing morning tea.

'I am so happy Meera.'  Said Didi. We both embraced sharing our joy 'you did not tell me when we are leaving Didi?' I asked her again.

'It's on 23rd of this month Meera. I have booked for the evening flight' Didi answered.

'I am so happy. Can't wait for another ten days' I said.  I was experiencing immense joy, which was totally new to me. I never ever had experienced such joy in my whole life 'You know Didi, this is the first time I will be attending a wedding'

'No..it's not true! It's unbelievable!' Didi could not believe what I said. I knew she would not believe me. I lived in exile all these years, I do not know from whom I am or I was trying to protect myself until last year. Now that I am exposed even though I am scared, I still am very much enjoying my life with my newly bonded friends. I never knew life could be so interesting.

I am glad to have come out of that shell....I want to live happily, no matter how many days or years it will be...

I and Didi had a nice time together. Didi prepared Dhokla (a semi sweet dish made from gram flour, steam cooking it with sugar and green chillies)

We were just about to leave for office, I was wearing my sandals when the door bell rang.
'Just get ready soon Meera, I'll check' said Didi and went to open the door.

'Who's that Didi?' I asked her.

'Pam Aunty is back Meera' Didi replied.

'I am so happy you are back Aunty' I said embracing her, was so happy to see Pam Aunty.

'Me too my dear, I thought you would have already left for office' said Aunty sitting on the sofa.

'Yes Aunty just about to leave. You must be hungry right? Didi prepared Dhokla, it's in thr fridge Aunty' I told her bringing a glass of cold water since it was too hot even in the morning.

'I am gald you accompanied Meera. How are you Sandy?' Aunty asked her.

'Good Aunty. And I am getting married on thirtieth of this month at my home town. Right now I don't have the wedding card but tomorrow I'll bring for you, will you please attend my wedding Aunty?' Didi asked.

'Oh dear, wish I could. I have to attend another wedding of my best friend's son in Pune but my good wishes are always with you too' said Aunty making both of us happy.

'Okay Aunty, have to go' I said kissing Aunty's cheek. The act I did shocked me, it was too subconscious.

'Wow Meera! I am so happy my dear, what's the change?' said Aunty

'She's in love Aunty' Didi said.

'Didi...what are you talking?' I said feeling embarrassed.

'I knew it's Rahul, right?' Aunty asked.

'That's right Aunty' Didi answered not giving me a chance to speak up. I did not have time too to explain to Aunty that I was happy seeing her. I missed her for so many days.

I just walked out along with Didi holding her arm making her walk along with me fast so that she does not speak anything further. Parting ways I reached office just on time. I brought with me my certificates which sir asked me for. As I opened the door Rahul sir was already there in the room walking with his hands in his pockets thinking about something very deeply.

'Good morning sir' I wished him with a smile.

Hearing me he turned to me and said 'good morning, so how was your night?' He asked me.

'Sir..?' I did not understand why he asked me.

'I mean' he said pulling out the cell phone from his left trouser pocket, scrolling for few seconds he showed me the chat I had with him last night.

Oh my god! How could I do such a blunder? Why did I send that love symbol? God what do I do now? If I tell him it was unintentional, he might even cancel my leave...if I agree then I don't know what he's going do next...

I was too tensed standing there and was mentally tapping my head.

'what do you mean by this Miss Trivedi?' He questioned me.

'I am sorry sir. It was unintentional, I fell asleep still holding the phone and may be in my sleep I by mistake sent a wrong message. I am very sorry sir' I had to tell him the truth.

'Okay fine...' he said and paused for a minute 'did you bring your certificates?' He sounded very serious and upset.

'Ye...yes sir' I said pulling out the file from my bag.

'Good keep them over there on the table and send me that mail, I told you to'

'Yes..yes sir' I replied with my heart beating a thousand times which I could hear in my ear, with so many uncertain thoughts that kept creeping in.

What if he does not allow me to take leave? Why did I send that love symbol? What will he say now? Oh god I am so embarrassed and again in trouble too!

Reaching my room I held my chest panting a bit. I was never so tensed. i think sir is in a good mood today that's the reason he did not say anything bad to me...

Drinking water from my water bottle that I daily carry with me, I sat on the chair for few minutes before typing the leave application. Later on I sent it to him and was waiting for the reply when he called me.

'Yes sir?' I said standing in front of him near the table.

'We are going to South Africa on thirty first night. I have a meeting with the Chairman of Wilson and Wilson Private limited on second of next month and so I can grant you only seven days leave and not more than that' he said looking at his laptop.

he already checked the mail...but seven days and that too we have to leave on 31st...now what will i tell Didi...

'yes sir' I replied in a low tone leaving aside my thoughts.
