Seeing these fake faces is making it hard to stay but I can't go till serving my purpose of keeping once a while media presence to let them not poke into my personal life.
This lavish lifestyle and culture show is nothing more than just flaunting money in front of the world.
They all are more of a foe than friends to each other.
You can see rolling eyes and snickering behind backs with plastics more inside the body than the world.
This charity event was nothing but a show to the world that these were great humans but reality is that they are nothing but civilized mean goons.
After passing a few fake smiles and lousy handshakes I marked my one hour policy for these things and was ready to go.
I trusted my team to handle my absence as I hand picked them to do their best in the job.
As I was moving out I felt a tap on my shoulder which irked me to no end.
I hate that I have to turn and bear a few more minutes now.
Turning I saw a lady decked up in diamonds from head to toe with heavy makeup along with a beautiful dress but a genuine smile. She was from the organiser side as there was a tag.
"Hello, I am sorry to disturb you but just wanted to thank you for your donation and support for the cause." She said
"It's okay, I will take leave now and all the best for the cause and congratulations for the success of your event." I moved my toes and went out quickly.
Driving back swiftly I got lost in thoughts as I saw a little family on the road enjoying the weekend with ice cream.
I stopped my car on the side of the road and saw pure affection as the family was sitting and laughing. The kids were running around as their father was trying to catch them and the mother was laughing as they hid behind her.
Lucky are these people to have such a life. Sometimes behind huge mansions and luxuries is nothing but the gateway of hell. Something I can say from experience.
Tearing my gaze I started the car and reached home. Solace is the place where I finally found home after 30 years of my life.
Walking through the living space I reached to study to see if anything needs my urgent attention.
After checking mails and connecting to my team for a day report and plan for tomorrow.
I strove towards my room to have a cold shower then slipped into my pajamas for sleep.
I dozed off wishing to have inner peace sometime soon.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
I jolted the dream which was real to extend.
Wet from sweating bullets.
I got into another shower to clean up the dream.
This routine is normal of getting some sleep and getting up from nightmares.
Nightmares are not a surprise for me.
They are just a part of my life like anything else.
I hate it that all those things still affect me in the past.
I moved into my house as soon as I could.
Living alone might be a curse for people but this solidarity is a great help for me.
Not portraying a so-called happy family. I never could connect to these rich and famous people who are hollow from inside and don't have a life but still they are portrayed to be perfect in public places.
Unfortunately, I was part of this since birth and I never saw anyone real in these parties and brunches.
Moving forward to my balcony I can see a beautiful lake and mountain view.
This place is not my home away from the world but close to me.
Drowned in my thoughts I saw the sunrise which calmed me from my nightmare.
As I moved from the balcony to the kitchen. A sound buzzed in breaking the silence.
Moving towards the phone I saw a number of people who I don't want to talk to this early or my week will be disastrous.
Ignoring the buzz I moved down leaving the room for making my breakfast.
Food that's where comfort is.
I made my simple oats and fruits to eat with coffee.
This golden time for me before a fast track day ahead.
Files, meetings, contracts and agreements are waiting ahead for the day.
Finishing breakfast, moving to study to review and see the plan for the day.
Spending a few hours in study to review and attend to important issues.
I moved in the garden to tend plants as I don't like anyone else to touch them.
Later, after having a shower I moved to the closet to get ready. I simply took a black suit and white shirt to go. Wearing my watch and black shoes I moved out of the locking house and got into the car to reach the office.
Reaching the office building, briskly moving ahead to reach the floor in my cabin.
The building is neither too tall nor huge. It's simple middle size.
Nodding to the greetings I walked to my cabin.
I saw my team chatting around with each other and having coffee and breakfast.
As I entered the cabin all eyes turned and got wider from shock as I have not been coming to the office for a month.
Surprised and shocked they all wished and rushed to clear the table and reach their stuff and move to their cabins.
I had the same expression all the time though I was amused by them. I didn't show it.
