A Bad Start

The day I have been never excited for, yes Monday but also this is not the ordinary Monday to be hated by anyone, this is the last Monday of the month, this is the only day I hate more than my born day. I really feel god shall give us yearly some chances to just skip some unwanted days of our life.

Thinking and at the same time comparing which day I hate more I was stepping towards the bus stop near my home to get the bus to hell, some of them call it ADC Teleservices Inc.

On Mondays, the pathway from my home to the bus stop stretches to the never ending way, murmuring to myself all this I finally somehow reached to the stop and while waiting for my bus I started praying to god to cause some disaster to the company, before I reached there.

So as soon as I reach there I will get to witness the most amazing scenario with my beautiful eyes. Like ADC Teleservices Inc. corporate premises getting demolished municipal corporation or company is hijacked by some legend terrorists, I started smiling on my own thoughts, this is the only imagination of me helps me to get rid of never ending bond I signed with company year back to serve this company like slave for some pennies which they throw on my face every month (Though those pennies are only income source for my survival)

But seriously, this imagination of my workplace getting destroyed made me smile in such a way that everything around me started to look perfect for me. Even though it made me realize that the water in the ravine, I stepped in while coming which almost spoiled my shoes as a reflection of my beautiful face.

It's really strange that imagining negative things for things you hate makes you feel positive in your real life, isn't it ?

While smiling and looking at random things around me I made a mistake which a girl with a beautiful face shall never make, Yeah! I made eye contact with a boy standing beside me (with a wide smile on my face) but still everything was fine for me because I was still making video of my burning job place in my imagination. But it became worse when the guy I smiled at smiled me back. His smile was wider and brighter than me.

"Such a Weirdo" I murmured in my voice as lower as only he could listen and stepped 2 steps away from that smiling boy, Wait, he wasn't even a boy, he was looking 2 yrs older than my uncle, but trying to look younger than my cousin by wearing neon clothes with neon sneakers, headphone on, and reddish golden hairs on head. This is a perfect example of a look I would never want to see again. After observing that ma from top to bottom with my side eye i wished to have time machine so I could travel back to few minutes ago and could add big "Ewwww" just before my words "Such a Weirdo" but never mind, my face anyway showed that "eww" comment for him.

"Why are Mondays so Slow and Long?" talking to myself I looked into my wrist watch, I saw it was 9.15, usually the bus comes by 9.05 but today, as it was Monday, every single thing around me tried its best to suck the blood out of me, so let the bus contribute as well.

Linda is best friend of my mine in company among my very few other friends,, the reason behind being her my best friend is she hates ADC Teleservices Inc. more than I do, so if I tell her about me imagining ADC premises getting demolished, she will be first clicking and uploading selfies with bulldozer with caption "#Life Saver"

"Tring tring tring ting, Ring after Ring"

But she did not pick the call up, I don't know why the hell she did this, she never fails to ignore my call only when I need her most.

Brain immediately started making up a story just to satisfy my question: why?? - She may have slept in the bus on the way to the office, taking a nap with support of window glass for her head. Yeah she must be taking a nap on the bus as I am not there to entertain and keep her awake. So the conclusion is the bus of 9.05 am has left my stop on time and I missed it now I have to wait for the next bus till 10.05.

Damn, I really don't wanted to get late today, not because I am punctual or I love my job but for many other reasons including one early reaching means early leaving, next I just don't want more late marks in this last week of month, though earlier late marks already lessen expenses of my booze from my salary, one more reason I newly added was just don't wanted to give company to neon man for more half hour.

Before I would have sat on the road with a crying face, my phone rang, I never ever felt more hopeful than this moment by Linda's call. As soon as I picked her call she screamed Helena, be ready, bus is about to reach your stop, Somewhere it sounds like the head of the terrorist is directing his men to be ready for attack with their weapons for shooting.

But yes, after being with her for one and half years, working in the same cubicle, I am totally used to such screams.

Linda and I joined the Company together, to be specific in the same month. One can imagine why prisoners arrested on the same day are always kind towards each other, in the same way we were.we were so formal, kind and innocent for each other as well as for our other colleagues in the company (At Least for initial few Months). We were equally positive towards the company, too excited to sign the bond, even though we shared a thought that if we signed a bond with the company, they could never fire us until the bond expired. Now we blame each other for the same thought and argue exactly who initiated that thought. Because we realized that our idea of getting permanent in this job were collectively dumb.

"HELENA, HELENA!!!!!" Again those screams of my name, OMG!! This sounds music to my ears, finally the bus arrived, and Linda was screaming at me since the bus was a few meters away from stop like a child screaming from the window of a school bus for her mother. oh! my doll she is.

Seeing me being ready to step in, Linda removed her bag from the seat next to her which she keeps reserved for me. She kept her bag on her lap and put her phone inside her back as she would not need other entertainment than me for the journey left.

As soon as Bus stopped at Stop I stepped in and turned immediately to see whether that neon is stepping in or nor but he was still there on stop enjoying his headphones but my sudden turn made him to look at me, maybe he recognized me turning for him only, he smiled again.

Damn, really? Same mistake again, I felt so dumb. But the moment my bus left, I made eye contact with him and screamed "Ewwwww" on his face.

Wow it felt so nice to eww someone, I shall do it often. I just had found out a new way for quick relaxation.

While I was doing all this on the door of the bus, Linda was still struggling to take something out from the backpack, maybe for me.

Linda keeps bringing something for me often, she lives at stops next to me, so she gets the bus 15 minutes before but the distance between her stop and her house is way shorter than mine so she calls me while leaving home so I leave mine. I walk for some steps to this stop and wait for Linda and the bus, by exact 9.05 the bus arrives here and we immediately start bitching about every other person existing in the world and bitching continues until we return on the stop in the evening. But sometimes she forgets to call me before leaving home and it causes me to miss my bus as today, so we do less bitching about people and fight more, today is the same day. This is our daily routine except on weekends.

She often brings something to chew for me while travelling to the office, because she knows me being too lazy to make and have breakfast in the morning while leaving. This is another reason to love her. She is my survival kit in ADC Teleservices Ltd.. though she eats most of the break fast she brings for me.

Finally the hell is near, our stop is about to come, Linda put her tiffin box in her backpack.

While waiting at the front door of the bus for the bus to stop at its stop, Linda pointed at a guy sitting in the front seat of the right row by saying "Isn't he hot ?"

"Who is not for you ??" I asked, ignoring her gesture.

"But at least look at him" she made me look at the guy. As she needs my approval for declaring him Hot and issuing a Certificate for the same.

I turned my eyes on him, he was quite hot, busy doing his own stuff on his mobile phone, then I turned my face to Linda and told her what she wanted to hear, " I agree, this time."

Linda is a desperate single girl. She finds every guy next to her hot and handsome. She is one who waits so long for a guy to break up with his girlfriend for her. This is the reason I rarely agree with her opinions about boys, but this time I really agreed not because the guy was really very hot but i literally find boys doing there own stuff while travelling and specifically ignoring girls are really hot.

When I said "I agree", Linda gave me a reaction like I am her mother agreed for marriage with that not guy and she replied "Oh you do?" in her voice louder as not only first but even the last guy seated in row could hear us. So her scream made the guy with the cellphone look at us, and he smiled at us.

"Hell", my first word after stepping out of the bus.

"Now what's wrong" Linda asked "Was I that loud"

"You were fine" I Answered, stepping forward.

"Then what bothered you?" she asked, following my steps.

"Smile of your hot guy"

"Isn't it what we wanted, you agreed for him to be hot!!"

"First, talk for yourself, I did not want him to smile at me, Second, yes mad bad, I agreed too early."

"But what was wrong with his smile, was his tooth missing ??" she stepped faster to catch my speed.

I stopped walking, and turned to her, "Look, a boy who smiles at a girl without knowing her is not hot."

"But isn't smiling a common gesture, and who made this rule ??" Linda disguised.

"Me, and from now you are following this too, such boys are creeps and not hot, take note, Period."

We resumed walking towards hell, and stepped in. Linda rushed and pushed the button to get the elevator down.

Linda looked still upset because I did not let her smile back at the guy whom she found to be hot.

I don't have a problem with such guys personally, you can be friends with a boy who smiles at you for no reason, but crush ? not at all. Because what I feel is guy who initiate smile for girl without knowing her with no reason, may be smiles to every girl next to her, may be many of them smile him back and they become good friends, or may be they started to have crush on each other and I am not interested to be part of such crush lines which initiates with unnecessary smile and so I won't let Linda fall for the same.

I want Linda to understand we are special and precious. We deserve a guy to be only ours and not creeps smiling on each girl around them.

So I am not letting her go with any such creep nor I am interested.
