I was sitting in a White Hyundai Accent car, stranded in city traffic. I checked my watch, its quarter past 6. "Hmm it could have been quite difficult if there is no car", I thought. Once signal turned green, everyone started moving, so do I.
I took a left and slowed down the car near school gate. Maria who was chatting with her friends saw the car, started moving towards the gate from the school. She hopped into the car without saying anything. I drove the car in the regular route. It has been almost a month since I got used to this routine.
Maria is almost a teen now but do possess some small girl's characteristics. She somehow used to me as an alternative to her mother who is a divorcee. Since I have no role of replacing a wife, this is almost a Babysitter play. I parked the car in the portico of the posh villa.
Maria tired of her hectic day in her school throw herself in the sofa. I picked all her belongings and put them inside her room. I came back to drawing room, she is watching TV. I sat near her head and consoled her for some relaxation. Teens of this gen doesn't want any advices or experienced words. All they want is some greeting and gentle care and rest can be given by an iPhone with 4G.
I made her change to regulars and we ate some snacks. Soon later, she went into her room for girlie chats with her friends. I checked the time, it was almost 8 pm. I have two hours to receive Maria's mother from Airport. I went to my room, changed to my attire. It took almost an hour to pack my things. I told the maid to clean the room as her boss would come home by night.
I went to check Maria, she was busy talking with her friends in phone. I placed the chit under her tablet and went down without saying anything.
Maria came back after some time saw the chit in her bed that read as,

Maria,
I think my job here is done. I hope you were Okay for this period of time. It isn't an easy process to think some other one as an alternative to one's mother, but you did.
Your mother will be here soon. I will tell her about your interest in dancing.
Regards,
Therapist

I went to Airport and Maria's mother was waiting for me. I apologized for being late and gave her the car key. We sat again in the car, this time she was on the driver seat. I explained her about Maria's likes and dislikes to my best. But she seemed to be busy on her phone.
I asked her that shall we complete the process. She nodded with turning. I took out my mobile and called my office call center. I explained the task details and approval for completion. As usual, support staff asked for client's word. I gave her my mobile and stepped out of the car.
In a couple of minutes, she knocked the window and signaled me to come in. I sat back in the car again. She gave me back my mobile and gave a plastic smile. My office staff confirmed the task has been marked as completed and I can take a day off. We shook out hand and stepped out of car.
I took a cab to my room and reached around 10.30. I took a hot shower and dozed off immediately. At 7 in the morning my mobile started buzzing. I woke up reluctantly and tapped it off. Without getting off the bed I checked my mobile.
There was a SMS noting of Money transfer to my salary account. I checked my office mail and found the Job completion transcript read as,
