Next Day
I was running late again......
why you ask ? Simple, because i don't get much of sleep,.....I get tired all the time
wearing my black pencil skirt and a checkered shirt and fisting my hair up in a pony, i ran out of my room taking necessary file and car keys,.......straight to my car.
when i arrived at office, I was running 20 minuets late!!!
Boss would be so upset.
muttering some very unladylike curses i went to my cabin with my head down praying no one would notice me at all!!
Thanks to my not so happening look.....nobody did
time ran fast and it's 4pm already!
After completing my assigned work of today i started working on my next scheduled works too...so when i leave so at least they'll have little headstart to choose secretary and work won't be pending so nobody suffers.....Yeah! you heard me right, I'm leaving this job!
It's just too much pressure ......
Ma often complains and yesterday morning even Farhana did too, but i wouldn’t have left my work, had i not been so bored,....
Guess, I'll look for something else..... somewhere else!
when my work was done, it was almost 8.
Usually my time's up at 7,....And today ma will be furious
Locking all my works in desk drawers, i switched of the lights and then i locked my cabin before i went straight to my boss's office to return the keys.
too talk about for my RESIGNATION
my heartbeat skyrocketed......
relax girl! it's just a resignation.....she'll not eat you alive, right!
with a straight spine and confidence, i walked towards her chamber, knocked on the door and waited for her reply.
"come in" Her faint voice answered
I went inside,.....
when i didn't say anything she gave me a questioning look!
She just raised an eyebrow, while looking behind me at the wall clock!....
And i followed her eyes too..
Errrr.... It was 7:50 P.M.!
And my tongue got attached to the roof of my mouth...
when i just stood there like an i***t without saying anything my boss is looking at me with amused face!
Oh!
"Done thinking ?" She asked, her full attention was on me this time
"Err....good evening boss! How are you today!"
"I'm good, you didn't go home, what are you here for ?" She asked
"umm actually... I came to give my resignation" I answered with my head down
Damn......my half eaten baby nails very interesting looking!
slowly i craned my neck up to see a shocked and worried expression on her face
"why! May i ask" She asked further!
"NO!...no umm --- nothing really happened!" My voice came out little tired
Gosh! how to explain this!.....
I really can't say....sorry I'm just bored!
"yes! I'm listening" she said encouragingly
"Iamgettingmarried" I said in one breath....only to realise that what i said was wrong
"What"
"Err....i mean! My cousin....My cousin is getting married"
"Yeah!? And ?" She asked again frowning
"Oh! Umm actually it's in India, you see!.... we're going back to our home and i don't know when will we be returning..... So!
There'll be lots of people, and ummm.. Lots of functions, and we'll be travelling a lot.....I guess it'll take at least a month!
So! i _
"you are bored" She stated with a deadpanned look
i knew it, that's exactly what i was worried about......she'll catch me!
"Yeah! i want to resign because of that" I huffed and said
"and don't worry,..I've completed next weeks work too so that will not be a burden on company.....but it's true we are going to India" I rushed out and she let out a huff and genuine yet half hearted smile
"alright, if that is what you want and Thank you, you have no idea how much it meant for me....but are you sure" She said with a sigh and a soft smile
"I __i don't know......it’s just.....um____never you mind" I couldn’t finish my sentence and a sigh left my mouth
Emmy hart, my boss a gorgeous black woman in nearly in her 50, but when see her you wouldn’t believe that for how beautiful and fit she looks.......a tough lady who really got close to me since i started here and I'm glad that i did....
she was nothing but patient and kind and compassionate to me. She chose me knowing fully well that i had no experience at work at all yet she trusted me.......
"Ok then bye! I'll submit my resignation Tomorrow" I said while getting out of her cabin
I was about to go when she stopped me....
"a final good bye hug!" She said spreading her arms. And I reluctantly walked right into her arm taking her bear hug....i usually keep people Arms length
"and I'm gonna miss you...you know that ?" She said rocking me into her hug
"Yep.....not everybody can cope with your moods" I chuckled mischievously
"shut uuuppp" She playfully swatted
"bye then"
"Yep"
Ma would kill me with her talks........beta why are you late, why don't you come home in time, what did you eat in the morning, how was work, why don't you work with your dad and dee.....ughhh!
damn it I'm in no mood her chikchik yaaar!
i don't know how am i supposed to tell her that ---- i just resigned ? For no apearant reason, not that she pushes me to get job, we have enough money.....mom's restaurant, dad's business, no shortage of money, so no, job ain't compulsory. But she always pushed me for having enough human contacts!
And I HATE THAT......
she just never liked me being so closed off.......aside from staff shortage she sent me to her restaurant to mostly get to know more people!
And now i just resigned.....
More free days for her to look for more opportunities for her anti-social daughter to get to know people ....
"Damn it"
