"No!" I shouted, covering my face with the pillow getting it as a small whisper outside.

"Don't you think it is too late for that answer?" I heard a question making me turn to see my roommate with her raised eyebrows or shall I say my soon to be an ex-roommate.

"I know!" I replied, frowning at her.

"Apologize to the pillow otherwise it will feel sad to hear your negative reply." Janani said mockingly.

"I am not that horrible." I whispered frowning more at her.

"Really? You know that I will be leaving the state within two days and at the end of the month, which is just a few days you will just have to leave this room. Now, who goes and gives resignation for the work which would have helped you in searching for a new place before that?" she asked sitting before me.

"She... she requested me to do this work. Her family gave me so much for my education and everything, then I should do some help for them right?" I asked her hoping she would support my decision.

"Nonsense! They just wanted some good name for their selfish needs, so they took in an orphan as a foster kid to get it. All they did was joined you in a government college which you could have done by yourself staying at the orphanage. They even got a free maid from you." She replied rolling her eyes.

"You don't know about that." I pointed out.

"Just because I got adopted when we were kids doesn't mean that I forgot how to read you. I understood everything when I came here to visit you along with the internship." she said sighing.

"She said I will get good money for this one month itself if I help her." I said, remembering the girl who is a few years older than me and whose books I actually managed to learn with free time at their house.

"Do you really think she will give you your money?" Janani asked suspiciously.

"Yeah! If she will not, then I will be begger outside with no savings and no real job." I replied covering my face.

"You can always come with me." She pointed out.

"You are getting married! Not joining in any new job that I come and stay with you. I don't want to be a disturbance and will be fine." I assured her smiling.

After a few minutes, she accepted my assurance and asked, "What should you be doing in this short time job?"

"I should be a secretary, but she said I will not have that much work." I replied smiling at her.

"What I don't understand is what difference will one month be? I mean you have a right to get your overtime paid when it means it will give you good shelter." she said frowning.

"It is a simple paint company, Janani. Now I need to think how to work in a secretarial job which is totally new." I replied frowning.

"Do you know what work you should do?" she asked again.

"Of course! She gave me instructions for the whole week what I should do for what day, and I should just follow them." I replied and she finally left to meet a few friends she made while doing her internship.

"These are very tight." I whispered after stepping out of the washroom.

"She is slim!" Janai stated before taking our few suits from her cupboard and placed them on the bed.

"These will be short but are better than tight right?" she asked and shoved one suit into my hands.

"Thanks for this help, Janani." I said smiling at her.
