Author's POV
Sara, Vaidehi and Arohi were seated on the dining table discussing about the loan they have taken from Zen, a private loan lender.
It was Sara's mother Vaidehi's dream to run her own bakery. She always wanted to do it but the financial status of her family dint allow her to do so.
She met Zen from one of her friend when Vaidehi spoke about her situation.
Zen, agreed to lend money to Vaidehi which she needed to pay back within a year.
She was very happy when she got the money, she felt all her dreams came true..she soon started her own “Bake n Cake”.
She started to earn from her small bakery which was doing quite well in the business, But the problem that's bothering them is Zen, he's threatening Vaidehi to return the money within two months of time.
She felt devastated, no matter what she does she cannot repay the whole amount of lakhs of money within two months.
She begged him to give some more time but he warned her that if she doesn't repay all the money he'll take one of her daughters to his hostage till she pays back.
She felt very bad for taking the loan, for opening her dream bakery. She came home and discussed everything with her two daughters.
She started crying badly as soon as she finished saying everything to her daughters. Sara and Arohi were consoling her but she kept crying, Sara couldn't take it anymore, she felt bad, she felt helpless seeing tears in her mother's eyes. She wanted to cry but she knew if she starts crying her mom will do something bad herself so, Sara started thinking of what she should say to convience her mother so that she stops worrying.
Without having second thought...
“ I've got a good job which pays me well, so don't worry mom. I can pay back all the amount within two months, just stop worrying about the money and leave this matter to me” Sara assured her mother with little nervousness clearly seen in her voice.
Vaidehi thought for a second and then she remembered Sara her elder daughter, got a job in ‘J and K' companies.
She remembered a few weeks back Sara was saying that her boss is paying her less than she expected as she had no work experience. But now she's saying that she's being paid well.
Vaidehi could not believe what she heard and asked,
“ Sara, you said your salary is way less than what you expected....but now....." before she could finish..,
Sara interrupted her by saying,
“ Oh....that yes mom...i forgot to tell you that Mr. John is impressed by my work and he promoted me with a good hike in my salary..! So mom stop asking more questions and go to sleep now. It's quite late and I'm sleepy now...!" she said faking a yawn.
Vaidehi was happy hearing the promotion of her daughter..she wanted ask her why she didn't tell her earlier about the good news but she decided to let the matter slide and wiped her tears stained face. She hugged both her daughters and kissed them on their cheeks and bid good night.
