In the car, Amit and I chatted in whatsapp.
Amit said “We are chatting because I want this in writing and also don’t want my driver to listen to all of this ok?”
I replied “ok”
He replied “Since your job is long term one. I want 30% commission on money you get after all tax deductions for next 3 years. After that I will charge only 20% commission for next 2 years. Total 5 years. I will not take cut in your bonuses”
I said “20% and 10% instead of 30% and 20%”
He replied “Fair enough Neha…..I was trying my luck. I will accept these percentages only If you stay in that job for next 5 years minimum and I will take 10% cut in your bonuses. If its anything less than 5 years, I want 30% and 20%”
He smiled at him and replied in chat “Fine. I accept”
He replied in chat “What about my apartment commission ?”
I replied “5% as you asked before”
He replied “7% dear. You got lot of discount on sale price. Hence, my commission also reduced”
I replied “I am taking two apartments, so 5% is fair enough for two”
He replied “lol”
I replied “it is fair Amit”
He replied “Neha dear”
I replied “Come on! If I take only one apartment you take 7% commission”
I replied “ok or not?”
He replied “fine”
He replied “You are getting lot of perks from the company. I didn’t ask commission for that.”
I replied “That’s so unfair Rahul. I offered so much to you already!”
He replied “I may ask you for flight tickets, hotel stays, etc. from time to time. I will not snatch them all away from you. Only sometimes ok?”
I said “I am ok only if you ask me two weeks in advance or else no”
He said “fair enough. Its fine to me”
I replied “Its fine to me too”
I continued in chat “Amit. 30% is too much in normal deals. I will give only 20%”
He replied “That’s unfair”
I replied “Amit. I agreed to give you part of my salary for next five years and also perks. I will there for next five years. Its long term relationship we need to maintain. So I am saying 20%” and kept a sad smiley.”
He replied “Neha…….please ok? You already agreed for 30%”
I replied “Rahul….I have many needs ok? I am not just paying EMIs. I should also save for future by investing. I need lot of money”
He replied “I will bring it to 20% but few conditions”
I replied “What?”
He replied “I said two deals minimum every month before. I will bring you more deals every month so that my income won’t reduce ok?”
I replied “or you can get me bigger deals as well. So that your cut will be big and will your income will remain same”
He replied “Yeah whatever”
I said “Ok?”
He replied “Thanks Neha dear”
I replied “No….Thank you Amit…..my life has changed because of you. Thanks for everything really”
He replied with a smiley.
I also replied with smiley.
He replied “Save this chat ok? I wanted this in writing so that there will be no disputes between us. Rahul will be the witness for this chat ok? He is my best friend and your boyfriend. “
I replied “ok but screenshots are the real witnesses at the end. I don’t know what will happen to the relationship between me and Rahul. We may break up. You said you also had a big fight with Rahul before. So, screenshots count at the end as witness ok?? Rahul will be extra witness”
He replied “Hmmmm……ok. That’s good thinking”
He continued “Since….I am with you long term and decreased my commission a lot. Any future deals in lands or plots or flats or houses or villas you want, you should use me as mediator”
I said “What if you don’t know about how to deal with them?”
He replied “You must give me first preference. If I say no to you, then only you should go to others”
I said “Fair enough but I will offer you standard commission”
He said “fair enough dear”
He also replied “You should also recommend to your friends if they are taking any deals in real estate”
I said “Sure” with smiley face
He replied “One final condition…….”
I replied “What is it?”
He replied “I will not tell you details of the deals until the last minute and you should not ask me about it”
I replied “That’s not fair Amit”
He replied “Come on Neha dear……..this last condition is very important” and smiled at me.
I replied “hmmmmm…..ok…..fine….but no more conditions”
He replied “ok”
Our whatsapp chat ended there. We smiled at each other. In few minutes, we arrived at the bank.
First, we went to the bank and opened the account. As the company is big one, they have opened my platinum account on priority. Usually account opening takes couple of days at least. They said net banking will be activated later. Amit brought my cash which I left at his room earlier. I also brought my cash which kumar sir gave me. We deposited all the money it in my bank account. I also got my cheque book. He said company will disburse before month salary and this month salary once my appointment letter is finalized.
Amit said “I want first cheque from that book as my commission”
I wrote two cheques to him with 50% amount on each and asked him for time to clear the second cheque. He smiled and said its ok.
We both met the company’s representative at another office where we finalized my appointment letter. I submitted my ID proofs, relieving letter from my previous employer, recommendation letters etc. I also emailed them to the new company. They said they cannot give back-dated appointment later as I got relieving letter just before. They said I cannot work in two places at once in last month.
Amit said we will figure something out. I will call kumar sir and ask him for alternative. I said ok.
The company’s representative said my salary will be disbursed tomorrow. She took my biometric, photograph, etc and said I will get an official Email ID, ID card etc. in a week’s time. They said they will also give me laptop from choice of three laptops next week.
I said ok.
They accepted all my documents and verified my previous work experience by calling my manager Aswin in front of me. My letter was finalized and said my salary will be disbursed tomorrow.
We thanked them and left the office. Later, We went for apartment hunting.
We spent whole day searching for right apartments. I really didn’t have choice. We saw 10 flats in different floors and three different buildings. Finally, we chose two flats.
It took us until afternoon to choose them. Amit arranged a meeting with an Auditor and also lawyer at auditor’s office in the evening. They said they will check the sale deed. I gave them the draft copy. Amit explained about whole situation. I think the auditor and lawyer knows about girls like me before. They said everything is fine. Its standard format.
We finished things and I came home at 10:30PM. Rahul was deeply in sleep. I got refreshed and slept.
Next morning, Rahul disappeared. He was not at home. He messaged me that “Darling, I have a wedding to cover. I have to shoot video/take pics etc. So, I am going out of station for next three days. I will be stay in touch with you over the phone. Keys are near the door. Take care of the home”
I read the message and went to exercise. I got ready and locked the house. Amit came for me and we had breakfast outside.
I spent next 2 days, executing the sale deed, signing the bank documents for the loan. Meanwhile I got my salary in my account. My first salary ever.
Whole 2 days was filled with tedious process. They asked me to sign on so many documents. I had to pay some registration fee for the executing the sale deed. Bank was also involved in the entire process as I am taking it through loan. All my documents got ready.
Next day, First EMI for both apartments got cut from my bank account officially. I got deduction message on my phone.
Amit called me over the phone.
I asked “What Amit?”
He said “Neha. Doctor called me. Your Test reports are ready”
I said “ok….Amit”
He said “My driver will pick you up….get ready”
I asked “is it important Amit? I don’t want to go to hospital again. I hate hospitals”
He said “Neha dear……..There seems to be a problem in your reports”
My heart started beating fast and asked him “What problem Amit?”
He said “She is not telling me. She wants to meet you in person”
I asked “Anything serious Amit?”
He replied “Yes”
I asked “What is it Amit?”
He said “She said she will not tell that to anyone except you. She asked me who I am to you. I said I am your friend. She said she will only share the information with you”
I said “Amit…..don’t play games…..please tell me what’s wrong with me”
He replied “I don’t know Neha”
I was nervous whole time. I got ready and Amit’s car arrived. I got inside and went to the hospital. I felt very very nervous. I kept waiting at hospital for 20 minutes.
Doctor called me inside. I went into the Doctor’s room
Doctor asked “You are Ms…….?’
I replied “Neha doctor”
She said “Hello Neha. I am Dr. Anjali”
I said “Hello Doctor”
She said “I have good news and some bad news for you Neha”
I said “Please tell me doctor”
She said “Good news is you are perfectly healthy right now. “
“Thanks Doctor” I felt relieved.
She continued “Bad news is little complicated. “
I asked “What is it? Doctor” I said in nervous voice
She said “Well, Neha. …..It says you are on birth control”
I said “Yes Doctor”
She asked “Neha.....you are not married?”
I said “No Doctor”
She asked “Neha, Do you have boyfriend or fiancé?”
I said “No doctor”
She asked “Can you call your parents here? What I am about to say is extremely important.”
I said “I don’t have parents doctor”
She asked “I am very sorry to say this Ms. Neha. Sex can be fun in this age but please do be careful……alright?”
I said “I understand doctor”.
She said “I am saying this because you are young”
I said “Doctor. Actually I do have a boyfriend doctor but nothing serious in that relationship.”
She said “Neha can you bring your boyfriend here so that he can understand the situation better”
I said “Doctor. Our relationship is new one and it’s not serious.”
She said “Let me warn you that what I am about to say is very very important. Hence, It is better if you have someone close with you right now“
I said “I don’t have anyone close to me right now doctor”
My heart started racing like anything. What does she want to say? Will she say I am pregnant?
She said“Ok Neha……”
“Do you have any plans to get married?”
I said “No doctor”
She said “Neha…you said you have boyfriend but not serious boyfriend……..I don’t know what to say”
“Please doctor tell me what it is….”. in a nervous voice
She said “Neha……you have very low egg count”
I asked “What doctor?”
She said “Your egg count is very low. You will face problems with pregnancy in future. Right now, your issue is small. “
I asked “What are you telling doctor?”
She said “What I am saying is …… if you don’t have kids in next 2 years, you may never become pregnant in your life again
I said “Wow doctor”
She said “You will run out of eggs fast. Chances of you becoming pregnant after two years is almost impossible”
I felt my whole life is shattered. I already purchased apartments and a car. I have to pay EMIs. I have a new job now. I started to sweat.
Doctor asked “Neha…..are you ok?”
I said “yes” in a shaking nervous voice.
She gave me small sealed water bottle which was on table and asked me to drink it.
Meanwhile she got a phone call and she said “excuse me” and moved aside to take the phone call in corner of the room.
I took the water bottle with little shaky hand and started drinking it. I kept thinking.
It takes at least 5 years for me to settle down in life and to clear off EMIs. I can’t stop them in middle. What about Amit’s commission? What about my relationship with Rahul?
Now, what should I do? What will be my fate?
If I proceed forward with my current life, I cannot become pregnant after five years.
If I don’t proceed forward, I have to return back to normal life.
I have to get into good relationship with someone, marry them and then become pregnant and then have kids. Giving birth is hard. Financially it is will be a big burden. I will lose my PA job if I stop sleeping with kumar sir and ashok sir.
Where can I find my future husband who is ok with my current life?. Whom should I marry? How can I do that in two years of time? How can I find another good paying job? How can I pay my EMIs and bills?
All these thoughts made me so nervous. My eyes started to blackout. My heart started beating very very fast. I started feeling uncomfortable. My head started spinning. My stomach started getting upset. I became very weak. I felt extreme stress in my mind. I think I am having a panic attack. I lost my balance and fell down from the chair. I fell on the floor. My eyes are getting closed.
“Neha…Nehaaaaa……” shouted the doctor from behind. I could hear her voice.
I fell of the floor. I started losing consciousness. I am feeling dizzy. I don’t know what’s happening anymore…………slowly…….…my eyes got completely closed. Everything blacked out…..I slowly lost my consciousness.
Amit said “We are chatting because I want this in writing and also don’t want my driver to listen to all of this ok?”
I replied “ok”
He replied “Since your job is long term one. I want 30% commission on money you get after all tax deductions for next 3 years. After that I will charge only 20% commission for next 2 years. Total 5 years. I will not take cut in your bonuses”

He smiled at him and replied in chat “Fine. I accept”

I replied “I am taking two apartments, so 5% is fair enough for two”
He replied “lol”
I replied “it is fair Amit”
He replied “Neha dear”
I replied “Come on! If I take only one apartment you take 7% commission”
I replied “ok or not?”
He replied “fine”
He replied “You are getting lot of perks from the company. I didn’t ask commission for that.”
I replied “That’s so unfair Rahul. I offered so much to you already!”
