PREY Fired & Cheated

Aashima Shetty

So, what exactly do you have to explain yourself?

Paakhi

But ma'am trust me, I don't know why these mails are in my laptop, but I swear I haven't sent these mails

Aashima Shetty

Who else uses your computer besides you?

Paakhi

Nobody, but ma'am-

Aashima Shetty

And does anyone else in the office have your password?

Paakhi

No... But ma'am I did not-

Aashima Shetty

Hence, proved. You ARE the culprit. Now admit your mistakes, and we'll drop your charges. You will be free to go.

Aashima Shetty

But if you want to fight, trust me, we will fight back. Which would mean not only would you lose your job, you will even spend eight years of your life in prison.

Paakhi

I really did not do it, ma'am.

A lone tear escaped Paakhi's eyes but here nobody was going to pity her. The evidence was out on the table before everyone pointing her as the culprit. She had no idea how she would ever prove herself innocent.

Aashima Shetty

If you have nothing else to say for yourself Paakhi, I'd ask you to please leave my office.

Paakhi

Yes, ma'am.

Paakhi said, her head bowed down. Crying she left from her boss's room and keeping her eyes on the floor she kept walking towards her desk as every other employee in the office was staring at her like she was the culprit.

She wasn't, but only she knew it.

She cleaned her desk and submitted her ID and Pass near the HR office. She was heartbroken, but what else was there that she could even do?

*******************

Paakhi got out of her office in broad daylight, the first time since the year. She was suddenly jobless. Unemployed. This kind of sucked because now she had no means to pay for herself.

All she had was her savings which would run out in this month itself. She has no family to turn to. Both her parents died when she was ten. The only place she knew she could go to, was her boyfriend's.

So, she took the metro and reached GTB Nagar- Where her boyfriend, Aakash rented a flat.

Reaching his flat she rang the doorbell. Once and then twice. She didn't hear the doorbell ring. She saw it and the lights were out.

Paakhi

Ugh, seriously?

Paakhi thought to herself and fished her bag for the spare keys to her Aakash's apartment.

She twisted the doorknob and entered inside to see that the entire house was flipped upside down. Everything was kept out of place. When she walked a little more, she tripped on something.

She looked at what it was and found women's stilettos.

Paakhi

Stilletos? That's not mine.

Paakhi mumbled to herself and walked further towards Aakash's bedroom and found pieces of lingerie thrown on the floor along with Aakash's clothes

Paakhi

What the-

She opened the door to Aakash's bedroom and was stunned at the scene inside
