"Yes.Why are you here? Isn"t it your lunch time? " John asked her trying to sound normal. "Yes boss I know. But I am here with a request " Zinu said.
"Speak"
Zinu asked with hesitation, "Boss today I have an important appointment. So, I need half day leave. "
"What ? Are you mad? It is clearly written on the contract that you can"t apply for any type of leave during training period. Miss Zinu, try to be professional. Do you want to lose your job in it"s first day itself?" John asked angrily.
Yes, he is angry. He didn"t want to let Zinu go anywhere. Although he couldn"t see her all the time, but still she was near by. He had been feeling some peace in his heart since morning. Now, he feels some loss, when he heard Zinu.
"Boss, I have done my work for today. And, my appointment is also very important. I just can"t cancel it. Please . " She pleaded.
"Is your that appointment is more important for you than this job? " He yelled. He felt jealous that something is more important for her .
Zinu felt tears rolling from her eyes, "She was used to insults of her half sister, but she never had been scolded in workplace. In both previous jobs, everyone respected her, because she is very hard working and efficient. Everyone praised her in her previous jobs. But, in this new job she had to face rudeness of her boss. She knows the importance of this job for her. It is highly paid job. She would be able to provide her son everything he deserves. But, for her, nothing is more important than her son. He is the only suns.h.i.+ne in her life. She could not take any risk of her son.
Although she felt pain, but answered confidently, "Boss for me, My son is the most important , than any other things in this world. "
John again felt jealous, but panicked to see the tears on her eyes ,although she tried to hide it. She could not show her weak side to any stranger. So, she tried to keep her tears to break down.
"Ok.You can go. But this is last time. Don"t ask for another leave. Now go out. "
Zinu didn"t wait there for a second. She thanked him and left. She could not bear his presence around her. He was so rude. "What does he think he is? Att.i.tude my foot. " She was murmuring as she going out of his cabin. In anger, she didn"t notice Charlie who was entering the cabin. Charlie chuckled to here her curses." Boss boss probably p.i.s.sed off this lady. "
"Let, two people follow her and report me which appointment is so important for her that she had to take leave on her first day of job. "John said as he saw Charlie. Charlie on the other hand confused in his boss"s behavior. First he let him search about a girl of a different city, now he was seeking information about this girl.He wanted to ask his boss, but restraint himself. He could not afford to anger his boss. again.
After leaving the company building, Zinu hired a cab and go home to fetch her son.
One hour later, she was in front of the psychiatrist. She explained everything to her. The psychiatrist also had a talking session with Ronnie alone too. After her a.s.sessment, she called Zinu to her chamber and adviced her different ways, to help Ronnie to come out from his insecurity feelings.
As per the advice of the psychiatrist, she took Ronnie to the nearby amus.e.m.e.nt park. The spent the time together . Ronnie was very happy. It was rare for him to visit an amus.e.m.e.nt park. After returning home, he was so much tired that, he slept without having his food. Zinu was also very happy, as she could fulfill her son"s wish.
On the other hand Charlie was reporting each and everything they done to John. He frown. "So, enjoying in an amus.e.m.e.nt park is that much important for her. "
"Boss, she visited a psychiatrist first. " Charlie reminded John, as he saw very illogically he was giving importance to their visiting to amus.e.m.e.nt park, instead of a psychiatrist. He handed over an envelope to John on which had photographs of each and every moment spent by Zinu during the time .
John nodded while taking the envelope, "Try to find out why she visited the psychiatrist.And now tell me, what is the progress of investigation about Zinu? "
"Boss, we will get everything by tomorrow. " Charlie replied.
"Ok.Now you can leave. "John said.
Charlie thanked him and left.
"Why she has to visit a psychiatrist? "he thought as opening the envelope. He took out the photographs and have a look on the pictures. In all the pictures Zinu was smiling lovingly to her son. As he looked at the face of the child, he felt strange feeling, which he couldn"t describe why "May be he is also a part of my Zinu, so I am feeling attraction towards him. The child was too cute, like his mother. "he thought. He sighed and kept the envelope in his suitcase and left for home.
Next day, two days spent as usual. Zinu adjusted herself in the new environment although Jennifer was trying her best to beat up her, but always failed. She surprised to see her next day. As per her speculation, John would throw away Zinu by now.She felt too much rage. So, as per punishment, she started to a.s.sign Zinu more works to Zinu. Zinu wanted to complete the work in time, so that she could spend some quality time with Ronnie. The psychiatrist adviced her to spend as much as time she can. But, Jennifer was thinking different things. She wanted Zinu to be exhausted due to overworked. But she little knew how persistent she was. Zinu, started to skip her lunch and worked on that time also.
From her second day of work, John ordered Charlie to keep an eye on Zinu. So, Charlie informed him that, Zinu has skipped her lunch for second time. John frowned. As per his knowledge, no new employees to be given so much works during training period. So, he asked Charlie to investigate about it, and ordered him to provide her lunch to her table. He also told him to make sure that, she would not be able to know that, John had ordered the lunch.
