Seal the deal
I was seating on the dining table with lost in my thoughts. The things I never wanted to accept. I was waiting for him from last two hours stomping my one feet on the floor frustrated. The bad habits of mine.
I was continuously looking at the door for his arrival. It was late now. Maybe he had a work today. Disappointing I stood up from the chair to make my way to my room but halted when I heard the door's unlocking sound. I hurried to the chair with a glass of water. Pretending not to care. But I was watching his every move.
He directly sauntered in the kitchen with some packets. And started serving himself. He gestured me to eat with him but I wasn't starving so I didn't said anything. Once he finished his dinner then he went to the washroom for freshen up. He came out in his black V neck white T-SHIRT and lose grey sweet pants. He was brushing his wet hair with towel. Water was dropping from his hair like rain drops from the leaf. My heart beats just to look at him like that. It's not good to say but he is looking very handsome.
"Should I pose in different way so that you can check me out easily?" He turned left to right with smirk on his face. "Jerk"
"I'm not checking you out ok! I was just..Oh forget it." I shrugged it. God!! Dhara you shouldn't have to look at his way.
"Oh really. It's clearly seen." Just as he was going to open his laptop I cleared my throat.
"I need to talk." I tried to keep my voice cold.
"To me?" He looked at me shocked.
"Yes. I need to talk to you." I gestured him to the chair in front of me and he nodded.
Once he settled down on the chair properly. He asked me "What's the matter?"
"I need 5 lakh's. I mean I need money and it's really urgent." I was embarrassed by my sudden behaviour. I never talked like this to anyone.
"You need 5 lakh's but what's for?" He asked me furiously.
"I can't tell you. If you are ready then it'll be good." I dared to look into his piercing deep brown eyes. Which makes my heart flutter every time.
"Ok I will." He simply signed the cheque and gave it to me. What? I mean it's that easy? Huh he has a plan in his mind for it. I grabbed the cheque and a wide smile crept on my lips. But he snatched the cheque away from me.
"What I will get? I mean I also need something in return Right?" He leaned back to the chair.
"What you want?" I raised my eyebrow.
"How about you gave me what I asked for?" He was tapping his fingers on the cheque and other hand was resting on the table.
"Are you black mailing me?" I raised my eyebrow.
"No why would I ?"
"Okay then let's make a contract. You know as I'm women so I need guarantee that nothing will happen to me. And those words will officially written down as an evidence." I glared at him and he leaned forward to look at me.
"Okay, I like the things clear too. But one thing I guarantee you that nothing will happened to you." He smiled at me and I averted my gaze.
We both singed the papers which I made earlier for it. As I know his every move very clearly. It was clearly written in the contract that he will do whatever I will ask for and so was I.
"Two months only." I said sighing.
"What but that's really a short time." He started making sad faces. I don't know what he is up to now?
"Ok then Six weeks. That's cool right?" I was annoyed by his behaviour.
"It's just take 30 seconds to turn the world up side down. And yet I'm giving you whole two months." I huffed.
"Thanks for giving me your precious months." He was scrunching his nose.
As I was getting up from the chair. But he stopped me.
"Let's make another contract. But it won't be officially. I mean it's for us only." He leaned back to the chair folding his hands over his chest.
"What?" I asked him confused.
"We have two months. And in this two months in both us. Whoever fell in love with another first. He/ she will lose this contract." He was smiling but his smile was mischievous.
First I thought for sometimes then I said "Ok. I accept it." With a smirk.
"Then ready to lose dear wifey."
"Me and love. And that is too with you. Never in a million year. Forget it!! Everything ends at that time." I glared at him and suddenly his expression softened and the guilt was clearly showing on his eyes. But he shrugged his thoughts and extended his hand for handshake.
"440 Volt." He said whilst I shook my hand with him.
"What?" I was confused.
"Nothing. Kuch kuch hota hai Senorita tum nahi samjhogi (Something Something happened Senorita you won't understand)" I jerked my hands from him and he started laughing with no reason.
I grabbed the cheque and sauntered in my room. Keeping the cheque on my dresser I laid on the bed. Breathing in relief I drifted off.
I walked out of the Washroom and he wasn't in the home. So I make breakfast for myself and after having my breakfast I hurried to my room. Standing in front of the mirror I applied light amount of make-up and wear small pearl earrings matching with my dress. As I'm wearing blue t-shirt with brown jacket and my black Levi's jeans and completing my look I applied kohl in my eyes and lose tied my hair with hair pin. Grabbing my hand bag I headed downstairs.
He was seating on the dinning table engrossed in reading the newspaper. As I reached to him. He looked at me. He was staring at me immensely like he saw some monster and I started feeling nervous in front of him. Is my make-up is heavy? Or my lipstick spread? I'm sure my hair is in mess now? I pulled my jacket little down from the edge and started looking everywhere except him. But when he didn't averted his bloody gaze from me I cleared my throat to ease my nervousness.
"Umm. Are you going on a date?" He asked me hesitantly. Did he really thinks that? I shook my head in negative and he breathed in relief.
"Don't you think this jeans is little tight for you?" He asked me again.
"No it's perfect ok." I huffed narrowing my eyes. I turned to leave But inside in me "did my jeans is looking that much tight? Should I change it?"
"Honestly you are looking very beautiful." A small smile crept on my lips. "Really I mean seriously?" I hide my smile behind my facial expressions. Not wanted to saw him. And suddenly something hit my mind and I turn to look at him.
"Okay then let's start your first work. Come I will tell you. What you have to do?
"What? But it's only morning now?" He asked me but ignoring his questions. I started explaining his work and he was following me.
" You have to sweep the floor twice then mop it twice. And sweep it again twice understand that?
And all the spider web has to be gone. I don't want to see even a spider left behind.
These glazed windows have to be polished as clear as those birds outside are fooled enough to think that this is clear and try to fly through. And you have to clean every nook and cranny.
You have to wash clothes by your hands. There isn't any Washing machine. White and colours must be divided.
That's all for your first step. If there's anything with I'm not satisfied. I will get in touch with you." I explained him his work with smirk.
"What? Are you kidding me right? I mean, I don't know any single things about. So how can I do this all things?" He asked me with furrowed eyebrows.
"I don't know. We sign the contract and you have to do what I will ask for. It's written clearly there. Didn't you read that paper?" I fired back to him with.
"Oh yeah that contract. I remember, that means you also have the same rules as me."
"What?"
"Nothing. I'll do it. 'Don't underestimate the power of a common man'." He proudly patted his chest and I rolled my eyes.
"It's Saturday and you have weekend. So enjoy your day. And yeah don't forget to water all the plants." I walked outside of the house and he was standing on the door with crossing his hands over his chest.
"I'll miss you. Come home early. I will wait for you on dinner Senorita." He said and I turned to look at him with my raised eyebrow and shocked. Did I hear correct?
"What!! That's what husbands called to their wives. Right?" He was grinning and I frowned.
"By the way will you give me your number or should I gave you mine. No you can give missed call if you want." His teasing voice was irritating me.
"Sorry." I said firmly and started walking but he was following me.
"But Senorita how can I call you. If I need anything." He said and I sighed.
"Oh please stop this your 'So sweet act' I know your reality very well. Try this on someone else." I gave him my death glare.
"Sorry if you feel bad. I don't want to hurt you. Bye." Hurt was shown on his face and I feel bad for my behaviour.
Being a kind person is that you feel sorry for an asshole too.
"It's just a number that's it." I recalled myself.
"91******40." I hoped in the bus and his face brighten as he hear those numbers from me.
"What? 3.. 4." He was typing fast on his mobile. Like it depends his life on it.
"0." I yelled.
"Thank you Senorita." He was smiling like a mad man.
I seated on the last seat in the bus. And the smile which was on my face from the time before was didn't want to fade up. I took the ticket from the bus conductor.
"Thank you." I smiled and he smiled back. Just then I heard my mobile ring. The collar id was unknown. I frowned.
"Hello." I said as I picked up the call.
"Bad habits of yours. Don't you know, it's risky to pick up an unknown call? Well it's ok it's me only. But next time remember it." Came his voice from the other side of the phone.
"Cut the crap and say why did you called me?"
"Oh that, I was just checking that did you really gave me a real number!" I can sense that he was smirking.
"Idiot." I cut the call. But I don't know why I was feeling happy little yet confused. Maybe from his behaviour. I don't know whether I can open my heart's door for him? It's only up to the time.
I got out of the bus. And walked to the hospital. It was a biggest hospital in Kolkata "Woodland multi speciality hospital Ltd." This is the best multi-specialty hospital located in the neighborhood of New Alipor and is the best facility located in southern part of the city.
I walked in and the receptionist greeted me with her warm yet fake smile. I smiled back at her.
"Hello Dr. Rose. I hope you got your money. Sorry for the delay." I seated on the chair across her table in the cabin.
"Oh hey Dr. Dhara. Yeah I got it. And please don't be too formal with me." She smiled as her grey yet creastel clear eyes twinkle like a star.
"So is there any recovery? Please say yes I'm here with hopes." I pleaded but she pushed some file in front of me. Gestured me to read it once and I nodded.
"Sorry to say but I can't lie to you as you are also a doctor. And you know her condition too. Maybe she have months or years in her life. But I can't promise of anything." Her smile fade away from her face as the words came out of her mouth.
"I understand but what should I do? After meeting with her there's always hope alive in me. If she can live more then that. But I could only wish for that. Anyway thanks for everything. Have a nice day."
I walked out of the cabin and make my way through the corridor to third floor. There were many patients. Some were chatting with each other and as usual some were sleeping. And there she was trying to fly a paper plan. She was struggling and blowing hard to fly it but nonetheless.
Sam, she is in her early twenties. She is an orphan. We met some months before. As I was handling her case. She is suffering from blood cancer. And due to the disease her orphanage can't offered to pay her hospital bills. So they lived her in the hospital struggling with her life mercilessly. And we some doctors decided to help her to save her life.
I walked passed to the two beds and stopped in the middle of the room. I gently tapped her shoulder and she turn to look at me. Her eyes grew bigger and her jaw dropped on the floor. She stomped off the bed and embrace me to squeeze out the life of mine. I hugged her back.
"What took you so long? I don't want to talk to you." Folding her hands over her chest. She turn her face away from me.
"Sam look there is something on your nose?"
"What? Where?" She ran to the mirror.
"Where Dr. Dhara? I didn't see anything?" She started checking her nose up to right and left to down and I laughed at her worries.
"Seriously? Hahahaha." I burst out laughing and she was looking at me with her evil face exhaling the hot air from her nose.
"You're such a." I cut her off
"I know that." I flipped my hair back proudly. Just then she started coughing aloud.
"Are you ok?" I asked her when she drank the water.
"Maybe." She sighed settling on the bed and gestured me to seat beside her.
"Hmm you're looking beautiful." She complemented me staring at me top to bottom.
"It's just for you thanks." I smiled
"Oh puh- lease I'm not that type of girl. I'm not interested in girls." She laughed and I narrowed my eyes.
"You aren't that much good by the way." I grinned.
After some she ordered pizza for us. Yes I know it's not good for her and we are in hospital. But she is a stubborn girl. She will take what she wants. We talked over some random things and then after finishing our pizza party I got up from the bed.
"Wanna come at my home." I approached her once I got ready for leaving.
"I wish I can." Sadness was covered her face and I sighed.
"I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too. Take care of yourself and take your tablets on time. Don't annoy anyone. And if you need anything then just call me. I'm always right by your side ok." I instructed her after separating from her embrace and she nodded.
"And yeah just express your feelings to him once." I winked at her and her face was flushed. She was blushing hard. God! This girl.
Walking outside of the hospital I glanced at my wrist watch. It was past 5pm. I took the cab as there isn't any sign of the bus. It will take whole one hour to reach home. I simply rested my head back on the hardest of the seat and closed my eyes.
Life is very strange. When persons wants to live and enjoy it's every moment. And there life betrayed him. When he don't want to live and was suffering it's every minute then there life gives an unexpected shock to him.
After one hour's hectic traveling. I started unlocking the door when I heard some noises. I stomped into the house only to be halted in my way from the view in front of me.
"No it can't be true. It isn't my house." I took step forward.
"Senorita you're back. I thought you'll be late."
"Seriously all these years you never cleaned your house once. Look how dirty your house is." He was wearing his boxers and slipper. And off course his half sleeves T-shirt too. He was holding some bamboo stick in his right hand and his handkerchief on his left broad shoulder.
I took a look around me. Everything was scattered. The clock and my favorite vas was on the couch. Cushions and curtains were on the floor.
"What a mess did you create it? I told you to clean the house." I was fuming in anger and yet he was smiling. Only God knows what happened to him today.
"Yes and that's what I'm doing. Can't you see?" He was busy with cleaning those spider webs. Then he started sneezing aloud and I just rolled my eyes.
I make some way to step away and then my eyes fell on the master piece and I gasped. Which I bought it recently from Amazon. It was a Danmu pear shape terrarium hanging vase with some artificial flowers in it.
"You broke my master piece. How dare you? You freaking idiot?" I shouted at him.
"Oh I'm sorry for that. It just slipped from my hand."
"Just half an hour. You just have half an hour clean all these mess otherwise I'll clean you out." I pressed my forehead with my forefinger and thumb. I got upstairs in my bedroom and slammed the door behind me. I lied on the bed and drifted off.
My eyes shot open as I woke up in jerked due to my dream. I seated straight on my bed. I don't know why I saw that dream. But there was a man in the car and the truck pushed the car in way that it rolled down from the road. The man who was seating on the car jerked out off the car and pull of blood was dripping from his head. As he was closed his eyes but before saying "Dhara"
God!! What is that? I can't make any sense. Maybe it's my illusions as I watched movies like the same scenes in it. I sighed and walked outside of the room. Everything was pin dropped silent. I climbed down the stairs and there he was sleeping on the couch. Who will say that the person who is sleeping in front of me was a jerk? His calm and relaxed face was glowing under the moonlight like a pearl in ocean. I covered him with blanket and tied my hair in a lose bun. I started cleaning some mess as he did half of his work. And I can't see my house in this shitty mess.
