Girl With Fake Smile

Chapter 16

I wake up  facing white ceiling. When I look around everything seems unfamiliar and new environment as well as  luxurious.  My watch shows its 10 p.m.

 What happen to me? Why am I here? Did someone rap..e..?  The words rape bring back my memories that happens a couple of hours ago.  I  scream  holding blanket tightly, covering around my body, terrified by the incident that happens to me.

I heard a footsteps approaching me which made me to feel afraid a lot. I close my eyes covering my face with blanket not knowing what to do.

 " Don't approach me, please..I beg you" I said shivering.

" It's me, don't afraid. I won't do anything wrong to you that will hurt you" a voice said.

Slowly, I put down blanket and looks towards the direction of voice. There, it was my boss standing in a white t-shirt with black pants.

"You..y..ou...,why are you here" I said in suprise.

 " Oh, you have no idea why I'm here?" he said.

 " Is that you! Wah, I can't believe that. No, no, this impossible" I said laughing.

He looks at me smiling but not uttering a word.

He got up, saying " think whatever you want."

I was left with bemused. I can smell the delicious curry and food which made my mouth watery. For some reason I feel like I had meet him before and I feel comfortable with him. Soon my boss, Jigme came with tray of food. He sit beside me on bed and let me have my dinner.

 " Do you know how to cook?" I asked.

 " Yes, why?" He asked me back.

" It's nothing, just asking and hope asking things aren't a crime" I said with more of joke.

I eat my dinner sitting there siliently thinking about where I will stay because still I don't have a place to stay.  Even if I booked hotel room, there won't be any vacant as it almost 11p.m. now.

After done with dinner I asked, "do you have your dinner?"

" Nope I will after sometimes. Ummm..seems like you don't have a place to stay. You can stay with me for a time being until you get a place to stay" he said.

I was shock with how he was able to read my mind. I was confused at how he actually allow me to stay at his place.

" Do  we meet before? And what about your parents? Are you okie to stay with me?" I asked him.

" We might have. My parents are at Australia running a liltle business there. If I'm not okie staying with you, I won't have offer you a place to stay. So feel free and feel like your home" he said smiling which made me to feel much better.

I don't have to worry about place to stay for a while, I thought to myself feeling much relief. Still I can't trust someone easily though he save me when I'm in trouble. But for a while, I have to stay at his place as I have no choice.

I said " Thank you very much for letting me to stay at your place. I will even pay you rent.

" He replied, " I don't even need  rent and even foods and all, feel free to eat how much you can. I won't complain even if  you eat bag of rice a day. So make yourself at home.

" I just nod at him not knowing how to respond.  I feel sleepy. I close my eyes as soon as  my head meet pillow. I wake up around 6 a.m. I do my morning quick fresh up and prepare breakfast as well as tea for both of us.

 I was afraid, my boss may complain about food that I prepare, like Khandu. I sit on sofa watching TV holding cup of tea. I wait patiently for time to pass. I laugh watching at TV.

There my boss was sitting besides me having breakfast watching me. I blush under his stare. I didn't notice him even sitting next to me.

"Uhh.... How was it? It may not be delicious but I try my best to make it delicious. I'm sorry if its..." but before I could finish my sentence, he cut off me by saying " it's  really delicious. I think you.are a great cook and I'm thinking of hiring you as my cook" he said last part with joke.

I blush again at his compliment about my food.  I only have 10 mins to join work. So I wait a liltle more as my work place is at the bottom floor of which I'm staying.

" If your not feeling well, you can take rest today" he said  looking at his food.

" No, no, I'm really fine and I'm feeling well. I don't need rest too" I said getting up, so that i can leave for work.

 When I reach at my workplace, I'm the first among all. I don't want others to talk about me about staying at my boss place and spread rumours about me, so I join my work before everyone.

My job is to serve customers. The food that we serve are delicious that attracts many customers. We don't even have time to visit washroom as we are whole day busy though we have many workers. My leg would feel numb from standing and running here and there to serve customers.

I would even fall asleep early because it's really tiring. But I never complain about work I have to do as for me to make myself living, I have to do something and with my qualifications, I don't even deserve such job. But I'm go glad that they atleast offer me a job. So I never have a intention to  complain about everything I do.

When I was serving, I saw a familiar face. It was my ex- boyfriend Namgay. I saw him with his girlfriend Choden. I don't know whether I'm being jealous or angry or sad.  I was shivering and unfortunately, I'm the who have to serve them.

I can see from the corner of my eyes that they were hugging and Choden kiss Namgay's check when she saw me. As I approach near two of them, I can't control how I was shivering. I don't have a intention to pour tea on Choden but because I'm shivering so hard that I can't control, tea  spill out, making Choden's clothes messy.

I was terrified to death. Choden slap hard on me making me fall on floor. All people turn their attention towards us. I don't know what to do.

" You such a poor  girl. How dare you spill tea on me intentionally.  Why?  You spill tea on me because of jealousy? So you think you will get Namgay back if you spill  tea on me and make me to feel embarrasse Infront of all? Don't dare to dream. Just look yourself in mirror how you looks" she shout at me.

I apologize her many times but these are all useless. I cried there at same spot not knowing what to do. Even my mates look at me with hatred except Lekzin. She help me to get up and she even hug me by saying it will be okie. I feel much relief and also I was grateful that atleast Lekzin, the friend that I meet a few days ago was nice to me.  I hate my life, I hate everything about me at that moment.

Enjoy reading 😊❤️
