She knocked the door with a little hesitation. After a moment a cold voice ordered her from inside...
"Come in..."
She entered...She didn't even dare to look forward...her eyes were fixed to the ground...The parts of her body which were exposed in air through that thin revealing dress were crooked in shame...
In her mind she cursed herself...
"You're a hostess in this bar now. Shame isn't the thing you should be feeling now..."
She put down the drinks...then finally she looked up...there was no one in sofa...the large luxurious room was almost empty....
She frowned..."Then who asked me to come in?"....
....As she was momentarily puzzled...An arm like a snake suddenly grabbed her from behind...
The shame which she wanted to abandon just now completely overtook her mind...
"Let go of me...I'm not a prostitute"
"......."
The man slowly turned her towards him. She looked at him.
"Indeed...you're not...but you're trying to be... right? I'll be gentler for you since it's your first day"
Those harsh words stabbed her core. The man poured a drink for himself and sat down...
"So...What makes you so unsatisfied that you're here?Let me guess..."
"You can't... nobody can ever guess. I've a little life waiting for me... I've to rear her up so that she doesn't have to come here like me..." She murmured while trying to conceal her tears...but that man heard...
The man looked at her with some kind of mixed feelings in his eyes. He wanted to believe in love... believe in honesty...but got betrayed repeatedly...
After being heartbroken for so many times, he comes here everyday now... observes the people who come here...They drowned themselves in desire and in a disgusting pleasure...
But today was different...this woman was ashamed of herself when she came in...not only that..her eyes showed a kind of loneliness and determination...
"The little life waiting for you...does she know that you come here?"
Her blood froze for a moment...She immediately jerked off the uncomfortable feeling...
"She doesn't need to know..."
The man smiled...he took out a cheque book from his pocket...."Nothing can't be hidden forever..."
When he spoke this line...his voice trembled...He is also a father... technically speaking he was until today...
Today he just found out that his son isn't his own... neither his beloved woman is his...
"This is a blank cheque...take it and leave...I don't wanna see you here again."
She was astonished...if she was in her previous self she'd definitely thanked this man...but now...it's different...
"Sorry...I can't"...She replied...
"It's a money I'm giving you as a loan...Raise your daughter well and let her work in my company...I'll deduct it from her salary..."
Her jaw dropped...."Are you crazy? Are you drunk?"
The man laughed out aloud...he isn't crazy...he just came back to his sense...if he doesn't see this woman today maybe he'll continue hating the human heart until his last breath...
"Whatever you think...I'm leaving now" He stood up...
"Wait... at least tell me your name..." She asked..
He chuckled..."Don't bother... you'll soon know...or you can ask your daughter in future when she will work in my office..."
That was the brief meeting...
The man left but she couldn't move a single step from that room...She was standing there like a statue... unable to believe the surreal incident just happened...
"God bless you...may you always live a prosperous life...you made me believe in hope and happiness again..."
She took the blank cheque from the table...
Some people broke into our life like a gust of wind...they didn't stay long but they made us remember them for the rest of our life...They took a deep place in our heart...we can't claim our relationship with them aloud...So what... until our last breath we think 'There is someone who will be smiling remembering me...'
"I'll make sure to repay you..."
Today she is gonna tell her daughter that there's nothing like happy ending... because life doesn't end... doesn't stop...
It's always a new beginning....
