A tiring evening but a wonderful night
with a sound sleep and the best of all is that I don’t remember a day when I did
not worry about the difficulties, hardships and the miseries of my life, except
the one which passed by. All I remember is that, the night which just passed by,
is the one when I slept like a baby after such a long time. I don’t know how
and why did the Joy’s presence and his surroundings did not bother me like the
presence of anyone else around me? Why I did not feel unsafe, him being around?
Is it something natural or do we have any past relation, something which I heard
that you develop in your past birth… the mind was full of questions but I never
wanted to discuss it with anyone. Actually I did not have anyone to discuss
these things with. I don’t have many friends and there are even very few with
whom I share. Sharing also to the minimum possible. May be I were introvert, or
since I have seen many things in life & learnt that there is no one who can
understand me and do anything to decrease my sorrows.
With all those thoughts, I got up and
went to the balcony of my room. Needless to say, the view was stunning and the weather
was just as required. I never wanted to leave this place but then suddenly I realized
that I have to perform various tasks before leaving for college and that too
when its my first day at this place, so it may take more time than normal to
know everything and get accustomed with all the procedures and places of the
house. I hurriedly brushed my teeth and got dressed into decent looking clothes
before stepping out of my room. There I saw Joy working in the kitchen. I apologized
for being late and asked him to guide me with the things which he wants me to
do and also his taste for the food so that I can cook accordingly. But he just winked
and the first question he asked was, how did I sleep? Was it comfortable? And did
it scared me to be alone with him? I politely answered his all the questions in
one line and that was, everything was fine. Then he told me to observe him today and
follow the same in the coming days. I quietly did that and find out that he is
a real charmer, with the toned muscles and the lean body, as if he doesn’t take
even a pinch extra than required. I was engrossed in his thoughts, completely thinking about him. Suddenly I heard “Pink are you really here?” I
woke up from my dreams and realized that he was staring at him as if I am from
some other planet and doesn’t look normal. I gave him an ensuring sight that I am
back from wherever I was. He again said, “Pink, what would you like to drink
with your breakfast?” I could feel the calm and the care in his voice. But
instead of answering him, I asked “why do you call me Pink? Don’t you know my
name, its Ve….”, but before I could finish, he cut me there and said, “you may
forget that night when we met, but I can never forget your first sight when you
looked absolutely stunning and gorgeous, wearing your pink lips.” I blushed and
said, I would like anything available. Also I saw that he has his refrigerator
stuffed with orange juice and nothing else was available as an option.
As we finished having breakfast together,
I got up to go to my room so that I can get ready and leave on time for college.
There were two reasons for hurrying up with the things, one: the college was
far off and it will take about an hour by bus to reach there from Joy’s place
and secondly: I never wanted Joy to see me going in the same direction as his
so that he should not know that we both goes to same college. I took a quick
bath and got dressed in blue denims and white top and also carried my jacket in
hand, thinking that it may get cold while coming back. While leaving I informed
Joy that I will be back by 6:30 in the evening and prepare dinner. I told him,
not because I wanted him to know rather I thought that they are basic manners
and since we are living together so we both must know each other’s leaving and
arrival timings at least, if not the coordinates. He immediately told me the
lock code to the house and told me to inform at the security reception on the
ground floor that I have moved in with him so that there won’t be any problem
for me to come and go. I followed as told.
College was fine, and work also went
well except that my boss again misbehaved with me by touching me on waist and
pulling me towards him during the time when no one was around. I wanted to slap
him then and there but then I again thought about my job and when my colleague came in back to the room, I could not do much except for tolerating him again. I
took a bus after finishing my shift and reached home as per plan. Immediately
after changing into my comfort clothes, I started preparing dinner for us and
side by side cleaned house in bits and parcels. It was not that dark when Joy
entered the house. Since it was his house and of course he knew the lock code
to this, he entered without knocking at the door. I got little scared after
hearing him first and then when I saw him, I got calmed down knowing that it’s
not any thief but him.
“Hey pink, how was your day? And what
are we having in dinner tonight?” These were the questions he started his
conversation with. Day was as usual and the dinner is placed on the table. You can
have it right away, if you are hungry.” To which he replied, “aren’t we having
it together?” I were confused if to open up to him or not! But when he insisted,
I agreed and we had our meal together. Just to get me engaged in conversation,
he kept on asking questions about my likes and dislikes, what I do, where do I work
part-time and who all are there in my family. To which I answered him
patiently. I don’t know why, but this never happened with me earlier! I always
use to tell the other person to mind his or her own business whenever they
tried to peek inside my personal life. But this did not happen with him. Again I
don’t know why?
Next day I woke up before time, cooked
breakfast, vacuumed the living room, and got ready for college. I was really
before time. He was sleeping like a baby when I opened his room to inform him
about my arrival timings. He was really a treat to eyes. He looked
adorably charming and handsome and at the same time an innocent baby, away from
all the worries in the world. After looking at him for approximately five
minutes or so, I decided to leave a note for him. I put that on the magnet
placed at refrigerator and left.
The day at the college went off well
and when I was about to leave for work, I saw Joy. My heart skipped a beat as
he was looking absolutely dashing in his jersey and I could assume that it must
be his practice time. The entire college girls were mad for him and can never afford to miss him seeing playing basketball. I hide myself
behind a wall so that he should not see me, and when he just passed from there I
went out and rushed to the bus stop to catch a bus to work. I could know that
it’s going to be a tough day at work as my colleague was on leave and my boss
will surely take benefit of this. I was scared but determined at the
same time, to not to remain silent today, if he misbehave today.
To
know, what happened to Veronica at work that day and will that be her first
step towards Joy….. Stay tuned and keep reading!
