Almost got back
Almost
Well the situation haven't changed a bit yet since i had written the last post. I am still deep in the dept and immense amount of pressure. The financial pressure is taking a toll on me. I am vulnerable to the health issues as i just can't control myself from thinking and taking tensions of not able to pay back the loans and even buy the groceries for my family. Well i am failed in every way.
As i was totally broke, i once again visited Nikhil. I was very hesitant to even speak to him as i am already in his debt and i knew he will directly lend me money if he come to know my situation. But the problem is i am no longer in a state to even repay 500 buks. That was the only reason i didn't even spoke to him for almost 5 months. But i was not left with any option as Nikhil is the only person i know right from my childhood who stood up by me irrespective of my situation. By the way to help a friend, i just give my everything but for Nikhil i can go to any extent. Seriously speaking, if i had not gone to meet Nikhil that day, i would definitely had took the extreme step. I have had enough and can't handle the pressure any more.
I asked Nikhil for a job, a job in which i can earn 15k so that at least i can buy ration for my family for a month. I couldn't even think of more than that. So Nikhil straight away said yes. He said i was looking for someone to teach Digital Marketing at their Kalyan branch as the previous tutor there was not available for some reason. I straight away said yes i am in and m ready to take the lectures. Inside i was a bit nervous but outside i was damn confident. The need to buy food for my family had just beaten the nervousness. I saw the ray of hope, i saw the employment, i saw the food in my son's plate which in the recent times wouldn't have even imagined. Still i couldn't control the feeling though and asked him about the chances that i might fail as i had never took any lecture or even spoke anything about digital marketing in ages.
He told me that i can do it. I can teach Digital Marketing as i had previous experience of working on some project before changing the industry to automobile. Well that build my confidence and was ready to roll the ball. Still he gave me some money and said it is the advance for the lectures i am going to take in coming week. I was scheduled to start taking lectures from Monday and was literally couldn't wait for the morning to come.
I started taking lectures and successfully completed first week. Well working and earning after a long time really moved me and gave me craving for more as i could see the opportunity to take more lectures and earn more by the intervening week. So i opted for more batches and completed the week with almost four times the lectures i did in last week. I made the invoice and it was really amazing and encouraging to do more and earn more. I almost got back and could see my fortunes changing.
On 15th March government declared to shut down all the schools, colleges and educational institution in order to curb on expanding novel Corona Virus or COVID-19. Hence, within just two weeks of started working, i was shut. Well the situation is as such that i couldn't even do anything as it is a govt directive and for the safety of the citizens. But i haven't even earned to buy myself ration for a month since the coming month will be living in lock down and without any job. So i generated the invoices for the past week and sent it to the franchise so that atleast i can pay some of the emi and fill up the ration for a month. Worst part was about to come though.
The franchise owner stopped my payment and started negotiating for the amount. i couldn't take it as every passing day we were falling short of food. Finally he agreed to pay but only 40% of the total bill. I wasn't at all in any situation to wait any further so i agreed to take it. I had worked whole week without taking any leave for a single day, travelling for 6 hours daily and couldn't stand up for my right and couldn't ask for my full pay. I really felt robbed and raped of my wages, of my rights. I was feeling sick to my stomach. i was kinda feeling betrayed. But still i took it. I surrendered to my situation. I surrendered cause of my family. Any other day, i would have taken my full share. Hence, i almost got back but alas, my destiny is asking something else from my life.
