CHAPTER 8: Saru

The next day, as usual, I got ready for my work and stepped inside the lift the lift stopped on the second floor and a girl stepped in howling and yelling " I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE !, GO TO HELL !, FUCK YOU!", she was that tattoo guy's girlfriend, most probably they were breaking up, she was full of anger. I was looking at her, her eyes were burning like fire, she was in an absolute rage but, I couldn't help her so, I just ignored her and moved out of the lift as soon as possible and called for a taxi.

I reached the library by nine in the morning and started arranging all the books on their respective shelves. While doing all this stuff I saw a poster, poster of that girl from the lift named "Ruby Malhotra", it was written that she is the best makeover artist in the state for " BRIDES TO BE AND BRIDES IN WAITING ".This made me think that she could help me with my looks so, I just picked up the landline and called to book an appointment. Her assistant picked up the call " Yes Ruby makeover here", I replied excitedly "I want to book an appointment", she replied " Mam there has been waiting for 3 months ", I replied in sorrow " 3 months I can't wait for such long is there any other option?" she said in a low voice " mam you can get any recommendation that will help in getting an appointment soon", I replied in distress "RECOMMENDATION! OK THANKYOU", I hung up the call. Now this was some other trouble for me, As I was thinking about it I saw that tattoo guy coming towards me to return the book he reissued yesterday it made me shocked that he had read this book in one whole night. " Hello hmmm, this book," he said in a happy voice, I took the book from his hand and kept it on the shelf after that he left but his facial expression changed into disappointment I think he was upset because he had broken up with Ruby. Ruby, I got another amazing idea " I can get a recommendation from him for my makeover if he patch up with her ". 

By the evening I completed all my stuff and packed my things to get back home but, I couldn't stop myself from thinking of requesting that tattoo guy for my recommendation. I reached home by six in the evening and saw my sister talking to Sam, she was weeping in sorrow and pain as I got to know that Sam had given her an ultimatum that if she would not marry her in a month he would fly back to America. This was getting me more into trouble, I tried to console Jessie but she put my hand away from her and gave such pathetic and ugly looks. 

We both had dinner together and I could see Jessie was in pain and full of anger but, I just couldn't help her because SHE HATES ME! I went to bed as it was late, I was half asleep I realized that Jessie was not on the bed so , I got a little bit frightened and got off the bed quickly to see where she was. I saw her lying on the sofa near the window and weeping but asleep I could see her wet eyelashes and her cheeks having tear marks so, I decided to visit that tattoo guy as I couldn't wait anymore.

It was 4 in the morning, it was an awkward visit I know but, it was necessary as Nana and Ma were going to be back by the afternoon so I had to do all that quickly. I stepped out of my apartment and went downstairs as smoothly as I could, I rang his doorbell after 3 attempts he opened the door I thought he might be sleeping but I was wrong he was exercising. As he opened the door I knew he was shocked, he was shirtless in his grey trousers and sweating. "What are you doing here this time ?" he asked in a surprised tone, I replied eagerly " I need your help, can I come inside?".
