Zara

Zara's point of view

As the day passed by and dusk approached I was patiently waiting for my best friend to come home.. But he didn't.

I started getting worried as it was already 2 hours late from his actual arriving time. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and there that stupid stood hiding his face behind flowers that he got for me in order to apologize for arriving late..

"You know my boss is one of the easiest boss to handle but i don't have any clue what happened last night that got him so disturbed ,irritated and anxious. He never behaved like this in my whole 5 years of working for him".. Liam said in explanation of his late coming

" Well guess what sweetheart because all bosses are asshole and so is your " I poked at him

" No Zara, well usher is definitely not like that he is very easy going and friendly with all his employees. Something must have happened to make him react that way" Liam said defending his lame ass boss .

Liam is to nice even he knew how devilish my father is but he never ever abused or disrespected him so how can I expect him to disrespect someone who is paying him and is his boss on the top but he should know that his boss couldn't exploit him and can't force him to work after work hours, but knowing Liam I know trying to explain him will only let in more delay of dinner, so I let it be and agreed with him after all who am I to judge the man I don't even know.

Liam told me not to cook anything as he had already ordered a pizza.

When the delivery boy arrived Liam took the pizza and gave him the money.....

Yes the money , how can I be this selfish, my best friend is working so hard day night ,earning money for his better future and here I came and became a burden on him . That's when it hit me that if I got to live here ,I at least have to earn my living. I'm sure Liam will provide me with the space but him providing me all my daily essentials will eventually become an extra load on him. So yes I got to earn.

" Hello, earth to zara, where the hell are you lost girl? " Liam asked and bringing me out of my thoughts .

" Nothing , was just thinking " I replied

" Thinking of what girl, look zara I know you are worried but you need your strength to fight with the monster so you need to eat cause strength comes from food" Liam said trying to ease up my mood

" No Liam, I wasn't thinking about that but something as important as that" I explained him

And then I decided to tell him what I was thinking .

I told him that I want to do a job and not be burden on him, hearing this he got mad,like really mad.

" Like really zara, you think, you are burden to me . What the hell! Zara it's just been a day you started thinking like this, look girl I earn enough to save and provide us both. so you need not to worry about that dear ,I m capable of supporting you, so put an end to this nonsense thoughts of yours" Liam said in response , he sounded way to annoyed with me.

But than it's me once I decide to do anything it's final nothing and no one can stop me so I came up with other idea and rephrased my words.

I told him " Look Liam it's not just that but I was really bored today like really. You will always have to work and here I'll be sitting alone at home which will end into boredom only. so if I'll have job and will go out to work , I'll be entertained for the rest of the day and can become independent to.. And maybe through all this I could actually find the strength to fight Luke. ... Just think about it "

"Okay when you put it like that then I agree, you are quite a manipulator girl" Liam said laughing but still a bit hesitant to grant me the permission.

" But zara to work in this city you need a degree and you always have been home schooled . So how will you be able to get a job here? " Liam asked

Yeah that's only because my filthy father never allowed me to go and get educated ,he kept me like a prisoner , just the difference is I was a prisoner with luxury nothing else.

I know I have been home schooled and that to till elementary only but my desire to learn never ceased so I used every possibilities to learn about new things, technology, fashion, art, dance forms and so and so. The teacher who used to teach me wasn't really an effective teacher but Catherine one of the person who my father assaulted was a professional teacher and she also happen to knew a lot of dance form. She helped me to learn everything and Greg he was so good with computers so I used the chance to learn that from him. Even though, I don't have a degree but I'm well capable to do any job.

"Then I'll do any job which doesn't requires a degree like waitress, home cleaner or anything such thing" I said hoping he will understand.

" Like hell zara are you out of your head" Liam barked at me. Totally taking me off guard..

" Liam, no job is small. A job is a job that's it " I tried to explain myself.

" I know zara but you don't know this city and these people they are not someone you could easily get along with ,they will make it hell for you" He said still irritated.

Like really what is he talking about , I have lived 21 years of my whole life with luke and I know that no man can be as worst as that demon. So that is invalid point for me but seeing his anxiety I couldn't bring my self to disagree with him .

So I told him " Look Liam, I'm well capable to do any modern technical job it's just that I don't have a degree to prove my capability ".

Then Liam assured me that he will find something for me and that to soon. He won't let me get bored inside his two BHK apartment.
