Chapter 18 - The Job (1/2)

It's nice to have dinner with my parents. I remember when I was a kid my dad couldn't join us for dinner. It was only me and my mom but he did make it up by taking us to a fancy restaurant.

Now we have one more member with us. So the atmosphere is overwhelmed by the presence of that person. We are laughing, chatting,eating our food with joy. Such a hearty meal for us.

We came back from my parent's house after the dinner. There's no way we could stay there even though we have shared a room in our honeymoon, it's much risky here. I mean who knows what if my mom sneaks into our room. I wanna avoid those situations at any cost.

God! If only you were not so eager to see your grand children dear mother.

Next day I went back to my office after a long vacation. In fact it was the longest time I spent on a trip without being bothered by my work. As I walked into the building everyone stood still in their places and greeted me

” Good morning sir.” Unlike other days, I tried to do something new today. My lips curved into a gentle smile as I greeted them back

” Good morning everyone.” Although I wasn't able to see all of their expressions I walked swiftly to the elevator which was only existing for my personal use. John also got into the elevator as I gave him permission to use it. Other than him no one in the company is allowed to use it.

” You look quite cheerful today. Anything good happened to you recently?” John asked as we were going on the elevator. John is a good friend to me, so when ever we are outside the work atmosphere we talk in a casual way.

” You can say that. From now on I'll try to focus more on my life and less on the work.”

” Are you serious about that? I mean you? Who knows nothing besides work?” He replied while looking confused at me.

” Someone gave me an advice and I'm gonna follow it.”

” Who knew getting married can change a person this much?!”

” Yeah. Who knew.” I chuckled softly.

I finished my work and kept the rest for tomorrow. What was more important to me is having dinner with Stella. I realised that when ever I skipped my dinner with her, I felt restless and kinda displeased some way. So from now on I'll differently make sure to reach home before dinner. I have texted her that I'll be eating with her.

After reaching home I went straight to my room to change my clothes. I wore a plane t-shirt with a short. Walking down the stairs I noticed Stella was sitting on the chair. The food was placed on the table. I took the sit opposite her.

” How was your day?” She asked and served me the food.

” It was good. How about you?” I looked at my plate and saw it was pork ribs with some sides dishes. The colour of the sauce was different. It's not how Lucy cooks it.

” Did you cooked the dinner?”

” Yup. I have a good news to share.” That explains why I am having such good meal.

” Sure go ahead.”

” You know you told me that I can get a job? So I applied to some companies and I got a call from one of them. They had an interview and I was selected.” Her excitement was clearly visible.

” Congratulations. That's a really good news. See I told you that you can do it.”

” Yeah but there's one issue. I used my maiden name for this job. Actually it may look bad if they find out that your wife is doing some regular job in some other company. I hope you are okay with it.”

” I don't have problems with both of them. It doesn't matter if you use your maiden name or not I'm okay either way.”

” Thanks.”

” So when are you starting? ”

” They told me to join from tomorrow so I'll leave after you.”
