Decision made already…..

Sometimes it becomes easier to get angry and walk away from a problem then to solve the problem. It is easy to rant and scream at the situation. Then to look at it in a different angle. On the other hand, it is easy to feel guilty when you are not feeling guilty. Human being are silly creatures they either find fault in others or they find faults in themselves and feel frustrated. A long time passes until someone steps forward to with the solution to the problem.

Alya got stunned in the spot for a while her body moved on its own and went down and walked out. She saw Tom standing in front of the main notice board. She walked fast and grabbed his collar. He shocked he tried to move but she did not let of the collar. “ Let me go.”

Alya “ You are not avoiding me anymore. I know you know what is going on speak now. Before I spill the rumors you have been spreading around.”

Tom’s shoulder dropped he sighed, “ It is complicated, I am not sure you will like it.”

Alya relaxed a bit, “What happened exactly between Helea and Aiden?”

Tom, “ You might not like the answer.”

Alya, “ I have patience speak now.”

Tom, “ You are suspected as someone who spilled the company status to the rival company.”

Alya put a hand on the wall beside her, “ Wow and how did they come to that conclusion?”

Tom, “ They also think you tried to kill Cynthia.”

Alya, “ That is stupid. I can never..” something replaced her thoughts “ Wait leaking to who and how?”

Tom leaned down to whisper , “ I am not sure but is there anyone you know in twirls?”

Alya , “ What I do not … wait….” Tom took this chance to quickly leave the place. ‘James’ she thought ‘James works in the newspaper company The Dawn whose owner is also the owner of twirls.’

She slapped her head, ‘This is ridiculous to think I hardly ever talk to him for so long why would i? And Brian? I did not approach ….. why did they think of that?’

She slowly walked to the front door stopped and sat down in front stairs holding her head, “ I need to get a solution to this.”

She took out her phone and scrolled the contact list she came to James and stopped for a while ‘Should I talk to Lucas first?’

“ Wait how did they know about James? I never talked about my family here.” She knocked her head to search and could find no memories. ‘Sigh does the whole office thinks as such? Maybe that is why they are so quiet’

She heard footsteps walking behind her, she quickly stood up and looked back. Brian came out with Liam. At first she wanted to talk to him about the misconception but quickly closed her mouth a new anger built in her. She wanted to fix the suspicion about herself, but she is angry about being suspected about it in the first place. Maybe her thoughts were shown on her face for Brian’s face expression changed when he looked at her. ‘Think what you guys want to think I am moving away from this the first chance I get I am getting exhausted of this.’ She quickly nodded in greeting and walked away quickly.

Th coffee pot was set on the stove for heating slowly the dark brown color liquid bubbled. The microwave rotated the bowl in it for the last two times and turned off it gave an alarm the food is finally heated up. Alya pressed the open button and brought the bowl out. It was an instant meal package. She picked up the coffee pot and poured some in a cup and stirred some sugar. ‘ I think I will skip the milk’ The phone rang on the table with her hands blocked with a bowl and a cup she quickly put the cup and bowl down on the table. It was her Mother, she quickly put a smile on her face and answered the phone

“Hi Mama” she held the phone in one hand and took a fork in another hand to bite on the rice.

Mrs. Jane, “ Are you eating instant meal again?”

Alya giggled at this, “ Sorry mother I was a bit late. How is everything there?” another call came in Jane’s phone. It was Lucas and James they joined in with the phone call.

James is away from his home in his tour for the office. She greeted them and continued listening to her mother about her not having a healthy diet.

“ Coffee ? really at this hour? Do you wish to be like an owl?”

Alya, “ Mama I feel really exhausted please cut me some slack tonight.”

Lucas, “ Is our Ittiy bitty sister having a hard time on her own.”

Alya, “ I am fine thank you, today was just an exhausting day.”

They continued with the usual chattering of how their days went. James had little to speak in between the siblings it was mostly Mrs. Jane who spoke the most and Lucas was bombarded with Emma being curious about what he was looking at the screen.

Mrs. Jane shook her head “Oh guess what you will get to meet your father this time and James Alya”

Alya almost spitted out the rice in her mouth, “ huh” she stopped herself from asking why.

James lowered his spectacles and looked at the screen “ Hmm Father will be here to accompany me, and I will be there in a meeting in your office.”

Alya, “ Um confused here. why Baba is should be in a meeting? And why my office? Why are you even coming to my office?” She looked for some explanation.

James, “ Baba will not be in the meeting he will just be with me. We will be staying at your place for two days. ”

Alya looked around so many things she need to clean up the mess is not something she want her father to see. “ Aaaah yes sure thing why not?” she kept grinned nervously. She kept glancing at her place more important than that she was reminded of her father having a critical behavior. He likes to judge on basis of perfection. James is almost similar. It will be hard to adjust with them for a while. The call ended after a while. She looked at her place is ‘I need to clean so much.’ Later she decided to dump the empty dishes in the sink and made her way to the bed.

‘ I can handle James but why Father? This is another problem. I must find a way to survive through this one before fixing the other mess.’ She thought and rolled in her blanket.
