Chapter 2 – Flowers
My flight was two hours delayed still I reached my office on time on the same day I landed in New York. I directly went to the office of my new job from the airport. The building was tall, must be around a quarter less than Eiffel Tower. It was New York Times Building and I was the new person who was going to work here. I entered straight to the content development department where I confirmed my appointed with the secretarial head and I waited for my call until noon when the head of the department called me in. She was a lady with cutting edge dress code, her style was too modern in my case. She must be twenty-five or something, her cheeks were moist and warm and her eyes were green. Though her hairs were gold she looked more like an Indian.
'Welcome to New York Times, this is for you.'
She greeted me with roses which were not red but violet indeed. I showed gratitude and smile at her with whole of my heart.
'Thank you Anna. Well, I am happy being here and I was surprised that called me for this job just by looking at an excerpt from my dairy.'
'Dear, I loved that piece though being a diary it had suspense, plot, climax just like novels and especially human emotion and drama. I love such writing.'
'I am glad you love it. So what would be duty around here, I have learned a few things by googling it but still I would need a live presentation of working on content.'
'Don't worry honey, you would be assisted by our other employees who are as great as you are. And as you being intended to work for content making, you could use your sense of writing as you did in that diary by spicing up short and meaningful text for our blogs, vlogs and other marketing stuff,' Anna said and looked into the phone as it rang.
'Well then I would do well to your expectations, When should I join?'
'As given in the job letter you would join from August 2 and that's tomorrow! So for today you may take a tour of this building and the city as well.'
I was bubbling up with joy that I would get some hours to settle down at my new home. I said, 'See you then Anna.'
'Yes, sure.'
As I turned back to exit I noticed her picture with a girl on the wall beside me.
'Aww, that's a nice picture.'
Anna looked at me suddenly from her phone and said,'Oh yes, it has to be nice. I am with my daughter.'
I was in state of shock, 'You have a daughter, and you are married?'
'Yes, I am a married woman with a daughter and a son. Recently separated from her husband,' she smiled at me.
'Oh, sorry.' She was just like me.
'Don't be, I am absolutely fine. Just do one thing, is it possible that I could your entire diary if you allow.'
'I would have to think about that.'
'You can edit it and give me if there is any extremely personal thing in it. Okay.'
I nodded and made an exit. While walking back I turned to see her through the glass she was looking was more interested in my diary.
Dear Diary,
Today our Albus went to the school, our school where all of us went. Harry was a bit worried when Albus stopped just before getting into the train but everything was fine, Harry handled it well. Ron always failed to convince children about something, to let them understand things. Ron always lacked in many qualities than Harry. As the train left, I saw Rose waving towards us. She proved to be my daughter as made Albus comfortable in the train just as did in my first year to school. Harry and Ron always told me that they got scared of me at the very first moment. Well, girls have the power to make guys scare and also to fall them in love. Look at Ron, he is totally in love with me and laughed on what he thought about me every time when he remembers about our first meet.
It was exactly nineteen years after our last year in the school. Something was going to change today, we all three knew that.
I read a diary entry again which was written on the day when Albus, my godson went to Hogwarts for the first time. It feels like as if it just happened. I turned over other entries and reached the one where the change which we all went was mentioned. Maybe because of this plot writing, Anna loved my writing, after all there is perfect balance of family and friendship in it. These two entries were those which sent through email and I got selected for this job. However I don't feel that I should have really get selected just because of these two piece of writings.
Dear Diary,
And that change happened, in a good way. Albus proved himself very well as guided by Harry in his each and every step. He came to be known as a proud father. Not only Albus but James too was doing well in sports and other studies as well. Whereas Rose gained popularity for her smartness and humbleness to everyone and everyone credited me for that. Ron was the only person who was shadowed from all that, his behavior went on changing and made himself into a bad dad. I knew that this was just because of Harry. He was gaining fame and Ronald got jealous of him. Ron never became as famous as Harry in schooling years and now also he was not able to be a great dad. Just because Harry took over again. For him, Harry seemed to to like an odor which used spread over every fragrance of flowers.
