Girl With Fake Smile

Chapter 14

" Samten wake up. You may get late, I have got bus tricket at time 10 a.m. and it's already 9 a.m." she said  holding cup of tea.

I sight in disbelief that it's 9 a.m.
" ummm, sure I will wake up" I said  getting up from bed.

I do morning fresh up.  when I'm back from washroom, I saw Yangden's husband,  Tindin having his breakfast wearing grey gho. He is working as teacher. I can't help but smile at how they are staying happy, understanding eachother. They don't have child. But soon they may bless with a beautiful child because Yangden is pregnant with six months. I can see her stomach bulge out.  

Tindin  walk out of house wavering goodbye and wishing me save journey in which I return him with smile. Yangden and me, sit on sofa to have breakfast. She made amadatse  which is my favourite.

" Do you have anyone at Thimphu? How are you planning to settle there at Thimphu? Plus it's your first time right? Yangden ask me with worry face.

" Yeah, it's my first time plus I don't have anyone I know. I have no idea how I will be able to survive there" I said giving her sad look.

" I wish I could help you but I don't have anyone I know at there too" she said.

" It's okie. You have done enough. If you were not here at present situation, I would have lost here in this big town between same buildings. I'm still grateful to you. I owe you for helping me. I think I should help seek from my boss, who is helping me with job,  even  with  place to stay for few months" I said .

" It's great idea. I hope your sir will help you for sure" she said smiling.

 I ate faster thinking that I may get late to travel. I get up  making myself ready to move.  I  refuse when she say, she  want to go with me till bus parking but  she insists on going. So I let her thinking that it will be just a waste of time arguing with her.

We reach at bus parking after a few minutes walk. I enter into bus waving her goodbye. She give me a warm smile which made me much better from tensions that I was going through.

I can't stop thinking about, where I will head after bus reach at Thimphu? What if I have to spend my night at outside? What if some  group of boys force me to do something that will regret my whole life?  I can't stop thinking such things which made me to shed  silient tears which are much painful.

I plug in my earphone to listen  music but still  my thoughts were full with such weird questions. Suddenly I remember I have both sisters and brother staying at Thimphu. I search for there number in my contact list, and luckily I have their mobile number.

First I call to my  brother and it's ringing. Soon a female voice says which I assume it as my brother wife " hello, who is talking.

" I said"umm, is this my brother  Tshering?

I can hear her, which says, " Tshering someone is asking for you."

I wait till I hear my  brother voice which says" who's speaking?"

I said, " it's me brother,  Samten . I'm on my way  towards Thimphu as I got small job there. But I don't have place nor I know anyone there. Can I stay with you until I get place to stay?"

He says, " it's okie. You can stay with us. Call me when you reach here. I will pick you up."

 I thank him before hanging up. I was so excited and moreover I was happy that I got a place to stay. I again call both of my sisters to let them know that I'm on my way towards Thimphu and if they miss me, they can visit me as I will be staying with my brother for time being.

But both my sisters were not happy with my visit. I can sense that while we were talking in phone. I was bit sad about that but I don't care. I still have my brother who care me and I was okie even they hate me.

 I even ask address of both sister but they says, why are want their address and what I will give them if they give me their address which hurt me like anything. I again shed silient tears.  

Bus stop moving which means I already have reach there. I call my brother that I'm here at bus parking so that he can pick me up.  Within no time, my brother arrive Infront of me driving red car. I smile at him which in turn he return my smile. I enter into his car and he help me with loading my things in his car.  

Around five minutes of drive, he pull his car saying we reach at his house. He help to carry my luggage and he is staying at  building which is paint in white with four storey. And he is staying at third floor. We reach at his house and he rang the door bell.  

Tall woman with red hair and  who has white complexion open the door. She was dress in white half pants with green t-shirt. She was smiling brightly but her smile fade as she saw me.

From the way she look at me, I can say that she hate me. But I don't have anyone and any place to stay and by no means I have to stay with them. Still I smile at her. I enter into house and on sofa a child was sitting. Maybe  she is around three. I smile at child.  

She is beautiful with yellow hair and I can say that she looks more of  like her mother.

" Khandu, prepare tea for my sis" shout my brother to his wife.

" Can't you see I'm busy? prepare yourself !  It's your sis" she replied  from her room.

I don't know how to act. I act like I didn't hear anything and act as if I was fully focused on television. My brother stood up and after few minutes , he return back holding cup of tea. I call my boss, who will be offering me a job and ask when I should join. He says that I can join from tomorrow if I'm ready. I said I was ready to join.

I was more of excited to join at  my job.  It's almost  seven p.m. and to my suprise, my brother is  preparing dinner for his family. I can say that, my brother's wife  had been sleeping whole day.  Even child is caring more by my brother than his wife.

I wonder how comes he got such a wife and I feel sorry for my brother. I help to look after baby girl who's name is Lekzin . I even help my brother with preparing dinner. It's almost nine in the evening when  we are done with preparing dinner.  

we sit down on sofa to have dinner.   Khandu  sit down with us to have dinner. After done with dinner, I clean the table and I went in kitchen to was dishes. My brother tell me I don't have to do such things but  I act as if I'm deaf. I clean kitchen and went to room for sleep which my brother show me.
