this job.if she disliked them than why did she sent me to this job? Whatever, they were never there for us when we needed so I think I don’t need them now.

After years of being alone, knowing that there is a whole family of mine out there eve if they don’t like us made me feel happy.

There is a huge commotion outside the house that jump started me, I ran to the door where a huge guy was standing by the door.

“Who are you? What do you want?” He was bulky and towered above me.
“Your mother pawned this house documents for loan, she never repaid the amount so we are taking our the house…” he said in a serious tone.

“What…?” My whole world shook. I ran into the house immeadiately and called Ria, I gathered all the cash that we had in the house which amounted less than 10k.

“Take this, sir. I will pay the whole amount from now along with the interest… please…”I begged.

He moved me aside and barged into the doors. I shouted at him as he began to throw all the photos hung on to our wall. He ignored all my pleas and shouts… I cried and cried but he was deaf eared to all my pleas.

Ria and Vicky rushed into the house… Their faces went pale when they saw the condition of the house. Vicky tried to talk to him while Ria hushed me down. He never yeilded, mom had taken that lao for my education and she hadn’t paid single rupee for six years… I never knew about it until know. That’s one thing about her, she never let her tension disturb my mind, she always said that thinking about those things will be her work and reading well and getting good grades is all that I had to do.

Ria packed all our things into a bag since they gave me one hour to clear the house… the house held so many memories… It was my parent’s dream house…I remember the first day we walked into the house, mom holding me and brother when we took our first step into the house, me and brother chasing all around the house, dad lying in the coffin, brother taking his last breath, mom and me fighting and lulling me to sleep on her lst day, I slumped on to the floor, our house is the last piece that held me together. I broke down into sobs, Ria helped me up and walked me out. I shattered as the closed the doors behind us.

I didn’t notice where we are heading, all I could think was that god had ruined every hope of me being happy. I’ll never trust him again, he is a traitor who had no heart, he had been brutal in taking everything away from life. The searing pain promised that my heart was still beating instead of all this.

I couldn’t eat anything or do nothing, falshes of everything being ripped of me tortured my mind. Ria forced me to eat all the time, I pushed her away; I can’t love her she will be taken away and I don’t want that to happen to her. She was by my side all the time patiently watching over me.
Something snapped in me, It’s like I became callous after everything that I had gone through. I wiped away my tears and strongly decided that I’m going to get that house back. I need a job…

“We can’t take anymore burden. Your dad already works hard to meet our needs and she will be an extra burden…” Ria’s mom voice interrupted my thoughts.

I can’t be burden to her, I packed my belongings and made it out of the room.

“Don’t listen to her…please.” Ria pleaded snatching my briefcase away from me and placing it iside the room.

“I have to go…I have so many things that I need to do.”

“You aren’t going anywhere not in this state…” I could easily what she was thinking.

“I’m fine…I’m not brave enough to die.” I said.

I ignored her pleas as she ran after me to stop, I was out of the house out of her vicinity in no time, I didn’t know where to go, I just kept walking until I could come up with an idea.

A car parked beside escaping my skin by inches.

“Get in the car…”Mr. K called. I ignored him and kept walking.

He grabbed the brief case away from me and threw it into the backseat.

“Let me go…” I shouted at him and tried to ease off from his grip.
People gathered around us thinking that he is harming me. He ignored their shouts to release me, he pushed me inside and locked the door, they tried to restrain him, he glared at them and walked past them.

“Let me go…” I shrieked.

“Where do you want to go?”

“I don’t know but definitely not to your place…”I snapped.

He sped the car past the roads until he reached an isolated area.

“Do you know how my father died?”his voice was contorted with pain.

Why is he asking that? I nodded ‘no’

“He was going to bring his sister back home when he met with an accident.” I stared at him speechless.

“He has regretted his decision since the very day your mom left him. He tried in everyway to find your address…if you think you lost everyone so are we… the only person that is left for us is granny and now she is…” he trailed off.

“What…?”

We dashed into her room, she is lying in her bed helpless, my legs carried towards her slowly, I cluctched her hands crying, it can’t happen, god has just shown me something worth living off, now he is not going take the last person of my family.

I stayed by her bed day and night crying, praying hard for her recovery. I relaized that it hadn’t been hatred towards her, I was just angry at her for leaving us.

Raj watched her, Nina had never left granny’s side, he saw her resting her head on granny’s bed and sleeping, he pulled a blanket from the cupboard and covered her with it.

I felt a gentle tap on my fingers, I woke up and rubbed my eyes to see that she was moving her fingers. Her eye lids fluttered and opened, I stared down at her. Tears escaped through her eyes, I wiped them away. She tried to say something, I hushed her and ran to call Mr. K and Dev.

They rushed, they held her hands into them, their faces lit up as she tapped their fingers gentle, it was a happy family re-union and I felt like an outsider, intruding their happy moments.

Granny’e eyes searched for me… she gestured me to come. I slowly walked towards her.

“Thanks…”she mumbled. I nodded.

After a week of taking extreme care of her, she finally had the strength to walk, we went for short walks in their garden,she got healthier day by day.

“Um…Granny…I need to go.” I slowly brought the courage to talk.

“What…?” she sounded shocked.

“I need to find a job…” she cut me off.

“You are not going anywhere…”she chided.

“But…” She held her head as if she is going to faint, I hurried towards her and gave her a glass of water. She gulped it down.

“Please…”she mumbled weakly.

“I’ll not go anywhere until you’re fine, okay?” I asked.

I failed to notice the wink that passed between Granny and Dev.


I was rounding all the vacancy posts with a marker when Granny sat beside gently moving her fingers through my hair.

"What is it?" she asked peeping at the newspaper spread on the table and I sat on the comfortbale rug squatting on the floor.

"I'm applying for a job..." She looked confused.

"I resigned in Mr. K's office..."I'm still not used to calling him Raj as granny suggested.

"Who said that you're resignation is accepted?" she asked.

I didn't know if I wanted to work with him anymore, he is an arrogant boss and to top it off we are realted. Living with him under one roof is more than enough for me, I thought.

"Granma, I can't." She shook her head.

"That office belongs to your grandfather not Raj's if that was your problem..."she chuckled.

She pulled me up and walked me to the living room where Mr. K is all set to go.

"Raj... Take Nina with you, she'll join the office today onwards..."she said.

His eyes flicked rapidly between me and granny, and he let out a sight. "Alright..."he said.

"Go..."Granma said kissing me on the forehead.

I can't believe that she did that, now, I'm stuck I've no other than go with him. We were enveloped in awkward silence, I really felt uncomfortable with him,I counted the seconds until the car pulled at the office. I jump started towards the door but Raj grabbed my hands and it was so unexpected that I fell back hitting the soft head stand.

"Listen... at home we are related but here I'm your boss so keep that in mind." He said.

"Do you mind?" I said pointing to his death grip on my wrist. God! what does he eat?

I rubbed my wrists as his fingers made an impression on my wrist, why does he hate me so much? What did I do to earn so much hatred from him?

"Nina...You're back?" Pia rushed towards followed by Veeru sir and others.

Apparently most of them heard what happened and they all knew that I was related to Mr. K so they were cautious when talking about him in my presence but they eased off when they noticed that I didn't change my attitude towards him.

The day was pretty normal except for the one time when Mr. K glared at me as I laughed at Pia's witty remarks. Why is he so against people smiling? Can we just have fun it's not like we are wasting our time, it's good to have smiles once in a while, right?

I was about the load of work that he dumed on me..."Are you coming?" Mr. K asked startling me.

I nodded and shut off the system, I scurried after him catching up his long stride, he buckled up in the driver's seat, I raised an eyebrow and shrugged, He held the passenger door open for me. Barely giving me time to buckle up before he sped off.

"I let you back again just beacuse granma asked me to, It won't take a second for me to fire you... Don't make me do that..." My mouth dropped open, what did I do?

"Don't look like that... You know why I'm saying this, I don't want you disturb the serenity in my office by wasting the office time cracking jokes with my staff."

I opened my mouth to protest but no, he would never give me chance, after all he is Mr. Arrogant.

"Don't you dare complain about this to granma..."he finished.

What does he think? I'm not a complaint box or a small kid to do such things... He pulled off at the
