Chapter-30

Her second daughter all she loved was partying, entertainment, friends, outings and clubbing she did not even come close to family after she had turned into an actress she had no family values, If she had instead of skeeter asking her for that money to buy clothes for the two small kids for X' Mas she could have taken her siblings and bought them.

Skeeter was very hurt she got back to work at the canteen so what she thought to her self if we don't wear new clothes for Christmas and go to church is god gonna be angry? She consoled her self and carried on decorating

Christmas is all about family every member comes close how lucky are those who have big families people get together from far and near, the house is full of fun and noise exchanging of gifts left under the X-Mas tree. Songs of Christmas Carol's.

Ski would decorate her home every year but there was nobody to visit her she just satisfied herself and the kids at least, even her second daughter living in Madras's would never come and visit her on this day. There was many occasion ski post her house and household things but she never gave up building it. She was like a bird building its nest every time it got destroyed.

Yes indeed olive did finance her financially but not much it was just enough for her and the kids to manage the month. But she loved to have a comfortable home so whatever money he gave her she would buy one furniture or things every month, and this is how she had a home how she loved her husband taking her for shopping buying her home things even from a nail to a fan she would buy everything.

She still had to manage milk, groceries, bread, provisions, cutlery gas pay Electricity bills pay her to rent Kids fees shoe books uniform, goes on etc…

Some times he would give her 1 gran extra if she ran short eg for hospitals or any emergency. Not more than 10, then 15 gradually it went to 20k. Some times her eldest daughter would send her 500/-, and olive exaggerate at times that there was another source of income coming to her or maybe some boyfriend or she was earning it in an illegal way.

People had their own doubts about her some though she was bad some thought she was crazy for inappropriate some thought of her as a woman who manipulates men for money and kept them all for alimony.

But for olive, he always insulted her and told her she was using him as an ATM. How she wished that she was in that comfort zone of not taking money from him but still being there and showing her love for him.

She could not work as she was tied up with kids and did not have that much knowledge or education. Coming back to Christmas eve. Uncle Robin at the end moment got some cash and gave it to skeeter to buy something for her children she left early and purchased clothes for them not expensive but the cheapest.

Normally ski always saw her kids dressed the best everything matching to there shoes she always remembered her days of wearing on patched up clothes from the tailor her granny would stitch for her and her second sister Luana.

They got back she told the kids to take a shower or a wash at the canteen and be dressed for church. She would never buy her self any clothes and she hated doing shopping for herself whenever olive would bring a dress from his company she would love it and keep it, yes one thing she was crazy for saree's her collection of sarees was huge she would tell her kids that if ever she was no more she would want her saree's to be buried with her,😂 Crazy wasn't she?

She would never go and spend money in beauty parlours or buy anything expensive for her self she reminded her self that she had kids and instead of buying for her self she would get it for them.

Her favourite was all 5 she never showed partiality to any but yes she showed more love in actions for the 3rd daughter because she was separated from her and lived in Mumbai whenever she got the chance to see her she spent more time with her and get her things whatever she wanted.

Its time for Xmas eve Mass in the church she sent the kids alone as the church was in the premises of the canteen while she took care of the business that night. After Mass, everybody wished everyone and skeeter did not inform uncle Robin of her daughter trip to Malaysia she hated sympathy from anybody.

She had no place to go for the night her owner had also locked her flat as she had not paid the rent. She took the two kids in her car and tired of the whole days' work and above all with a sprint ankle drove right in front of daughter's house and slept in the car at the parking.

Next morning she woke the kids gave them some coffee and biscuits to eat at a small tea bunk and drove back to the canteen as it was Christmas and there was morning service in the church. The business was good these two days. Every pie was collected and given to uncle Robin.

Days passed for her the same, her daughter would not come back until the new year. Every night she and the kids spent the nights in the car. On the new year, she got a call from olive for getting everything she was excited to hear from him again. He just called asked them how they were and hung up.

One of the ski cousins by chance came by the canteen to buy food when she saw ski and then she heard what she was going through and took them to her house to stay thus they became good friends she even lent her money to pay her EB bills and requested the owner to except half money and open the flat for them.

Since skeeter was not getting paid by uncle Robin since she sold her car for h and paid his workers he allowed her to use his nano car. But that was not the only thing that she could survive with two kids.

She had to quit her job and focus on her kids' school too. She went back to the school and informed them of the reason for the kid's absence. Her cousin helped her a lot. Now while working with uncle Robin she had taken a liking to a guy he was from another state a rich guy from Kerala he owned a motor showroom at his native. Due to his parent's pressure on him getting married, he left his native and ran away.

He had a friend who worked with uncle Robin in the office he brought him to uncle and got him a job but hiding his real identity. Nobody knew about him he worked as an uncle bodyguard and he would come along with uncle to the canteen. And thus he met skeeter and took a liking to her. She had no hopes that olive will come back this time and she tried to move ahead in life.

Later on, the male guy parents came to know about their son they came to uncle and requested him to force and send him back with them he had no way but leave madras for good. He kept in touch on phone with skeeter he told her he was willing to accept her and the kids. But slowly once he had gone everything faded away...

Olive was back in her life he heard about this guy relationship with ski he started accusing her since then, once ski had dialled the male guy number but it had been switched off just then olive by surprise caught her and bashed her up. she tried explaining to him but he always thought he was Mr perfect and as though he had never cheated her with any other woman.

There were many times her other cousin confronted ski about olive having an affair with another woman and how he would buy gifts for her kids and often go and see them but some men u know do a lie say a lie and stick to the lies. Nobody perfect I must say...
