SIYA'S P. O. V.
After reading the note, I opened my cupboard and went through clothes and decided what to wear.
I went to the washroom, removing my formals, and turned on the shower.
Soaking in that heated water, feeling it hug every inch of skin so gently, breathing in the aroma of the bubble ... it was my heaven... my mini vacation... a place to breathe deeply and let my inner peace return.
I dried myself and wrapped towels around my body and went out. I did some skincare.
Then I wore a black tank top with a light brown cardigan and light blue jeans.
For my hair, I took out a curler and curled my hair in wavy style, and let it fall freely on my back.
I saw the time and it was 11 p.m. I have to reach there by 12p.m.
I took my black purse and pairs it with black high-heeled boots.
I locked the room and got out of the orphanage. I started my scooty and drove towards sin city club.
I entered the club. The first thing that hit me was loud music, people swaying themselves on the dance floor, some consuming alcohol.
I make my way towards the green room. I saw them getting ready.
"I thought you would be late." Riya di said.
"Hmm. Thank god you are not late." Khushi said, looking into mirror.
"I am sorry. " I replied, pouting.
"You are not changing, right?" Di asked me.
"Nope. Why would I change?" Khushi said.
"You know how he is. He will surely tell you something, and you know I can't tolerate that." Riyu di told.
Riya di I like her a lot. She always treats me like she is my own blood sister. She makes me feel like I am her little sister.
Some bonds are not blood related, but they are more than that. She always protects me like a brother and cares for me like a mother. I feel very blessed to have her in my life.
"I know, but what can we do?" I questioned them further. "We need this work, right? We can't leave this unless we get another one."
"Yeah, and now we should go out for our performance." said Khushi.
We went towards stage while discussing the song we were going to sing. When a man in his mid-50s came and stopped us. He is the manager of the club.
"I hope you all are ready for performance." Dhaval sir, manager of club, said.
We trio nodded in union. Then his eyes moved towards me, and I somehow knew what's going to happen.
"Don't you know the dress code of the club?" He questioned me.
"I know.... ummm, it's just that I don't feel comfortable here wearing those dresses." I spoke.
"I am sorry," I said very politely.
"You are not special. This club has some protocols that you have to follow." He said and went to a room and came out with a box and handed it to me, gesturing me to open it.
I opened the box and there was a dress. A black backless strap dress, which I think will barely cover my thighs. It's not that like I don't wear these dresses, but it's just that I never feel wearing these dresses here because it always makes me feel uncomfortable and before I could say anything...
"No," both said in Union, and I knew who said this.
Riya di said, "Do whatever you want, but she will not wear this small piece of cloth which covers nothing."
She is like this only. She is always there to protect me from everything. She grabbed my hand, and I saw manager fuming in anger. I could sense something bad would happen today.
Then we all were waiting for our chance to perform when suddenly a waiter from their staff came to me saying the owner is asking me to come to his office.
Both Khushi and Riya di eyed me, asking me what happened. I shook my head, not knowing anything. They both came with me to the cabin of the owner.
I stopped at cabin gate it has a name plate on it, written VIKRAM RATHORE. He is in the top 10 list of billionaires in India. He is 32 and he carries on with the business build by his father.
I knocked on the door and heard a voice come in. I don't know, but my guts were saying something bad would happen.
We entered the cabin and saw him sitting on the chair.
"Yes, Miss Siya, what's the problem that manager came to inform me?" Vikram said.
Uff yaar where did I got myself.
"Sir, she is not willing to dress up according to protocols." Manager said.
"Why is that?" He asked, raising his eyebrow.
"Because I don't feel comfortable with dresses you give for my performance." I said in a polite manner.
"Oh, so we are here to give you comfort. We don't give you a salary for this. Put that comfort in your orphanage." He said in anger, and I flinched hearing his voice.
He is so rude. I have heard he is also in some illegal business of drug dealing and girls trafficking. That is why I never came across him because this always made me remind my past.
"Even if we are your employees, you cannot talk to us like this. It's not an appropriate way." Khushi said.
"Really shut up. I will talk to you guys the way which I want, and don't forget you work here and if I fire you who will keep you." He said, gritting his teeth, and I saw manager smirking.
"Keh toh aese rhe ho jaise hum pe ehsaan Kar rhe ho. Hum mehnat karte tab tum salary dete ho. " Khushi spoke.
("Why are you acting as if you are doing us a favor? When we work hard, then you pay us our salary.")
"Remember, we are also the reason your club is running, and at least 40 percent public is because of us." Khushi, why are you saying that? I wanted to tell her, but I don't think sge is in the mood of listening to anything.
I saw his lips twitching after listening to this.
"You are speaking too much. When I buy that orphanage, and then I will see what you will do. You think you can leave this place.... no, and never because you guys also no one will pay the salary I will pay you all just for singing." He said with an evil smirk.
"Ok. So, we are leaving this job." Khushi said, and I gasped.
I hold her saying, "Are you crazy."
"Then how will you feed that good for nothing small brats in your orphanage, I said to you many times that you should come and work here full time for me. You will take care of my needs and I will take care of all your needs. The offer still stands."
"You don't have to think about us. We don't need your offer nor your given job, " Riya di said, I don't know what got into her, and she slapped him very hard. I am proud of her that she slapped him, and he deserved that slap.
She grabbed our hand, and we went out of the club.
