New Job Part 1

 I am a Arun. I worked as a software engineer and few months back i lost my job. My wife works as a school teacher, her name is Rekha. She doesn't earn much. So we are going through some financial crisis. We have some debts to pay. Ours is love marriage and my family members disconnected their relationship with me. Rekha only has her mom, Kavya, she never liked me. She always think I am not good enough for her daughter. For the sake of her daughter, she occasionally speaks with me. As we are going through some financial crisis. My wife asked her mom for some help, to get me a job. After a month, we got a call from her. Rekha and Kavya spoke for a long time. Then Rekha came to me 

Rekha - we have a good news and bad news as well 

Me - tell me the good news first 

Rekha - OK, you got a job 

Me - so, what is the bad news? 

Rekha - it's a high pay job. Recently because of an incident, the company only hires female members. My mom convinced them and they finally agreed to hire you with few conditions. 

Me - what are those? 

Rekha - The dress code is either a saree or salwar. They will treat you like a woman. And you should behave as a woman too. You have to follow all the rules just like every employee follows. 

 Me - I am not gonna join this company. I am a man. How can they expect me to dress up as woman? And work. I can wait for a few more weeks to get a good job. 

Rekha - search for a good job? You have already got it. All you have to do is to follow the rules like everyone. 

Me - I can't follow them. They are the rules for women. I am a man 

Rekha didn't say anything but she was really angry. We have lot of debts to pay, with this job, I can cover all of them but I don't to dress up as woman. 

Rekha did speak to me for the next few days. She is really angry and sad. 1st of every month, it's really hard for us. Without enough money and to pay lot of money to others is not easy. 

I couldn't sleep at night thinking about it. I have never done anything for Rekha, even though I am jobless. She didn't treat me bad. So I decided to let go of my male ego and to take up the job. 

Next day, Rekha was working in the kitchen. I hugged her from back and told her, I will do this job. 

Her face lit up with happiness. 

Rekha - you don't have to worry. I will take care of everything. No one will know you are a man.
