"Nonstop"

|Part - 1|

*********

Here, is the second chapter. Hope it's good and please enjoy reading.

The pay here, I mentioned are all my imagination... And I guess there are few companies who pay at least this much for the dedicated workers...and hourly based pay is taken from the inspiration from abroad...

Thank you!

Lasya enters her first workplace greeting Mr. Sean Watson, as he is the floor in charge for the day and she kept her things on the table.
She has got her own small cabin.

She is a computer typist here doing all editorial works for the PA of the CEO of the Shanks company. She helps in drafting the letter, preparing the reports and helping them in publish the current affairs to the media.

Yes, she loves writing so she is happy to work in this company. Also, the pay is also good. She earns per hour and works for 4 hours daily from 8-12 that means she makes around 12000 RS per month and it really helps with her bills and to keep her going in her life. She is content and a little happy thinking at least she could afford something for herself.

"Hey, Good morning Ms.Lasya! How are you doing today?," Asked  Mr.watson when she logs in into her computer for the start of the day.

"Good morning to you to Mr.watson and yes, I am doing good as usual. Thanks for asking." She said as she took her seat.

He smilingly nodded his head in return at her and returns to his patrol duty on the floor.

He is a middle-aged man and he considers her as his daughter. She considers him as a fatherly figure whom she can directly go and ask any kind of help when in need. She feels happy when someone asks about her well being.

She looks around during the coffee break to find her one and only friend Tina but couldn't see her, she guesses she is in off today which made her feel kinda bore.

'Tina, I miss you.' She thought and sighed.

Anyways she chugged it and started hurriedly completing her pending works.

Likewise time pass, and soon after completing her shift, another person takes in her place.

"Goodbye, mr.watson hope you have a great day" she smilingly bid bye to him to which he nods back.

------

She left the place to catch a burger and a coffee from the nearest coffee shop THE KR BAKES as her lunch.
Yes, that's where she eats her lunch every time.

She even carries dog food and a bowl with her for Ritchie since he will also feel hungry waiting for her. It's her regular place where she has her lunch so they don't have any issue with Ritchie.

He is a good dog with everyone but turns to be dangerous only when she gets irritated with someone or if someone pokes her unnecessarily. She sees a small queue in front of the counter. She didn't waste the time in joining it and placed her regular order.

"Good noon Lasya. I hope it's again regular thing" Milan, a cashier inquires her from the other side of the counter to place the order. She nods her head with a smile.

"Thanks, Milan. Have a great day" she gave him a 25 rs bill for it.

She takes her food tray and searched for her corner in most place which is usual. So that she could eat herself and feed her dog too. It's a beautiful shop with an Italian and junk food business.
A burger and coffee for lunch, really?

Milan is a school drop out teenager helping his father's business. He doesn't find studying interesting so he started avoiding to go to school and hence dropped out due to lack of attendance. He is happy that he is helping his father. He doesn't have a mom so he is happy in doing whatever with his dad to run the business coz his dad is an asthma patient and a caretaker must be there always so he does care for him being with him close.

Sometimes Lasya feels jealous of him cause he has a father to look forward but for her, she doesn't have anyone to hope for. She is wondering the main reason behind her existence for whom she was living. She doesn't have an answer...
Oh God...these thoughts are eating her brains for sure...

She is stressing too much for every silly issue. After her small lunch, she left the place and started walking again to join the next workplace.

It's a library. She helps the librarian Mr. Joshua Verma with arranging the books and cleaning the place.
Yes, she works as a helper and cleaner.

She earns almost 8000 per month paid on an hourly basis and this salary is an extra for her and she keeps it aside as savings.

--------

"Ms.Lasya, you arrived?" Joshua asks to which she nods her head. "Well then please do help me soon with these new arrivals to keep it in order in the front shelf," he says in a hurried manner for which he gets a light chuckle from her as he is carrying a hell lot of books in his hands.

She swears if she gives him a little push he would definitely stumble up on the floor with his books all over him.
But she is definitely not going to do it!

"Yeah, sure Mr. Verma please give me a minute or two to drink some water and I will help you in arranging those in an organized way." She said going to the backside of the place to keep her belongings.

He nods and continues to walk through to the front rack of the shelf. She quickly places her backpack in the restroom and drinks some water as the sun and previous work has taken her lots of energy.

Ritchie has joined her from the backdoor and he lays down for a while. She caresses him and let him rest. She sighs and joins Joshua for the work. Within an hour, she finished arranging the new arrivals in it's assigned shelf.

Now, she will have to sweep and mop the floor. She does it in a very fast manner and finishes off her work. In the remaining time, she read books. She loves reading it and her favorite genre is Romance.

"I am a big fan of classics written by Jane Austen and to be honest I am also a FAN of AMAR CHITRA KATHA firm who release their best and a top comic book titled Tinkle. I still subscribe to it and read the extras here whenever I get free time." She murmurs herself happily while flipping the storybook pages. 

Also, she finds some time to log in to her wattpad account to read the updated stories. She says all the writers there in the app are good. They have an excellent talent for penning down their thoughts. She wishes she could have that talent to write such an amazing story and become a Writer in her life.

Huffing she got up and checked the time. It's almost past 5. She quickly washed her face and took her backpack to return to her apartment. She bid bye to Joshua and left the place followed by her Ritchie.

She took a cab back to her apartment and Ritchie follows her from behind. She reached her sweet home within 20 minutes and she slumped to her small couch in the living room being exhausted from all-day work.

---------

Now she has one and a half hours for herself to spend some time at home. After resting for few minutes she got up from the couch and decided to wash her clothes off this week since she used to wash it every weekend restraining herself from not wasting too much of water but don't know why she feels like finishing it off today itself.
So that she can rest all this weekend, at least!

She quickly freshens up herself and brushed Ritchie's fur. She baths him once in two days and he loves it to be in the water. But she doesn't allow him to play too much in water cause she has to pay extra water bills which she doesn't think it's necessary now.
She knows she is one mean girl even to Ritchie sometimes.

At 6.30 she is all ready again to go to her last workplace of the day and that's a supermarket very near to her apartment just two blocks away. She works as a cashier there. They pay her well. She works in the last shift from 7 -10 and that means two hours of work.

She earns an extra 6000 per month. She spends money wisely so the money she earns from the last two jobs entirely goes to savings since she has git a little dream to visit Switzerland once in her lifetime...
Woah, Switzerland! Romantic place, Ha! 

So yeah! She earns a total of around 26k per month which is more enough for a person like her. She is being able to feed herself and her dog well with dog food too.
That's what she needs which is more important.

It's a busy hour at this hour of the night in the supermarket and it seems all the people of the city are out from their homes to purchase some of the other things Lasya is tired now billing the items. Some have only one or two items whereas the others have a huge lot of items ranging from a toothbrush to crockery sets.

"Oh God, when am I able to go back home and sleep. I didn't get any free minute to relax for a while until now from the time I have started this shift." She thought mentally while entering the items into the system to produce the bill. 

"350 rs Ma'am"
