1 Prologue

Waking up early in the morning at 8 am is the saddest part of my life. But for filling my pockets I don't think there are more options that I could find. I agree that money cannot bring always happiness but money can be a reason for being happy. And for a person like me, money is everything.

hello, who's this?. I said in my half-asleep voice on the phone

Am I speaking to Mr.Anand?, came from that side.

{that was a female voice!. I was surprised because no woman firstly calls me except the customer care ones. And secondly, I was never addressed like this before}

I said , yes speaking, in a firm voice.

she said oh hi, I m Mrs. Sylvia, actually the 'we care' company has given your contact. They told me that you will be coming to show the products.

{ I said damn to myself}

Yes, mam, I was about to call you only. Can you please send me the address and location so that it will be much easier for me!.

The lady said, I've already sent you the address yesterday. Haven't you seen it?

{holy shit I was drunk yesterday. argh! but, I remember there was a beep on my phone yesterday but I thought it was those stupid customer care people sending messages to pay bills.}

Oh! yes mam, I do remember. I'll be there at the location In about 45 minutes.

ok, please don't be late as I have some other works to do.

Yes sure mam. I told and ended the call.

Today is the first day of my job and I m already late. I have to reach out to people and show our best products and make them buy, in precise a salesman. I never thought I m gonna work as a salesman but life is all about this it gives you surprises like these and tells you to enjoy and have a good day.

It's already 8:20. I need to get ready and should reach the location In time.

The roads of Hyderabad are too busy from morning 7 itself. I need to find a cab, rather a bike would be better so that I can save some cents. My rented room is near to the road, this is something good I feel about because I need not walk much.

Sadly, I couldn't find any vehicle to drop me at my location. I am tensed and whenever I'm tensed I take stupid decisions.

Suddenly a bike came and stopped in front of me, I was puzzled that was he a recovery agent for collecting money?.

He then asked me, going somewhere need a lift?

{I was so happy that I felt like hugging him.It happens right when you are in need of something and that thing comes to you and says hello!}

Coming back, I said can you drop me here?. I said by showing the address and location.

He said well I'm also going near to that place only, I can take you.

I was so happy for a moment I thought god also take care of me (sometimes).

I said I'll be thankful if you could give me a ride.

He said sure and we started moving and don't know why but I have seen a black cat passing nearby to the bike.

{in olden days it was assumed that seeing black cats while going somewhere isn't a good thing}

Although, that was running on my mind. I did not bother and we started to move as I need to reach there as early as I could.

We started moving, the location was quite far from my place, and wearing that heavy bag full of products made me feel much disgusting.

Later, we started going on the roads where houses were fewer, and all I could see was beautiful greenery. My eyes were filled with green and my heart was filled with happiness. Coming to such places with greenery once in a blue moon will give this feeling only.

Then suddenly the bike speed was reduced and slowly the bike got into rest. I asked, everything okay?. He said I guess you need to get down once. there is some problem with the engine. I got off the bike and said what's the problem?.

He was checking the surroundings if anybody was there.

Myheartbeat got raised.

Then from his side pocket, he removed a knife and pointed at me.

That second I felt, God loves me so much that he's calling me so early and spend time with him.

I started shivering, I told I don't have anything to give you just a few cents I'm having. I was begging him please leave me. he checked my purse there was an old photo of my mother and a photo of my ex-girlfriend which I forgot to throw.

you, holy piece of shit give me money, or else I m gonna kill you.

I said I have nothing to give. Please believe me then he emptied my bag (products) and took the bag with him because nothing was useful for him rather than the bag. I don't know why did he even take the bag. Might be he liked the color of the bag. I'm not kidding but the color of the bag was good.also it has nice pockets to keep knives in it. Might be he liked that.

I was left on the road with my packages thrown on the road.

Earlier I thought nature is beautiful. Now I feel the busses and cars are better because they won't harm you as animals (randomly)do when they see new friends.

However, through google, I managed to reach, Mrs. Sylvia's home with holding all the packages in my hands and pockets of my jeans.

I rang the doorbell, I could hear the footsteps of someone hefty walking towards me.

the doors got opened.

Mrs.Sylvia was around 60 years, with black hair and a few patches of white hair. She was very tall around 6 feet. I need to raise my head to see her face.

I said, I'm sorry mam I was a little late due to the traffic and a tragedy.

she politely asked do you know what is the time now?.

I said of course it's around 11.

she ,with a great amount of anger started yelling at me!. when the hell I said to come and when did you come.

I got scared by listening to her voice.

I am sorry mam I didn't mean to spoil ur day but I tried to come as early as I could but I couldn't reach here.

{ i couldn't face those red fiery eyes .they were looking at me as if I have stolen something and got caught}

enough now! I m not interested to buy your things and look how your products are packaged they are in the worst condition I don't want them said in an angry voice.

Please mam my manager will kick me out take at least one product, I literally begged her.

she said no , in a rude way

( started thinking was she the same lady I talked to, in the morning?)

now don't waste much more time of mine. I have to watch my tv series I can't ruin my day for you. I have to watch FRIENDS tv show.( This is the work she had which she told me on the call)

Now get lost you, idiot.

{thud with a sound she closed the door on my face, luckily nothing happened to my face}

With my face down to the road I started walking back. I don't understand why bad things happen to me only. I started thinking of morning and felt regretted that I shouldn't have got on that bike.It was my greediness, I should have stopped when I have seen that stupid black cat.

my life is becoming more miserable day by day.

out of frustration, I threw the products on the road. I was losing all myself. I don't have anyone to share anything. I feel like dying. I feel I don't belong to this world.

I had to reach home with an empty stomach. I m not having a penny to buy something nor I could borrow from someone.

Atleast yesterday was little better I could eat and drink.

huh! why do u love me so much God!!
