From the scratch chapter 4/18

It was already Friday morning. I went to work around 8 o’clock 9 to 5 is my work schedule and at times I do overtime or double shift . Rarely there will be more to do remotely when reached home. The firm pays me well and they allow me to work remotely. Few video and audio conferences and the rest is daily tasks in computer but I tried to complete task during the eight hour period. Rarely I have to travel related to work. I am happy at my work which is not common in IT field of competition in general. Mr. Frank the big boss cum owner participated in the video conferences remotely most of the time. Someone said he was in the hospital with pneumonia when I heard from Christina her grandpa also in hospital I related both messages. Christina told me her grandfather was in the hospital with the pneumonia and it was recently too, and he’s currently now in hospital she said , I asked one of my colleagues casually by Mr. Frank has grandchildren. I texted my colleague . One of the Colleague said yes one grandson and one granddaughter do you know their names I asked I think grandson is John and granddaughter is Christina . Mathew my friend and colleague asked me why I asked my friend about frank and his grand children.I told Mathew just like to know because I work in this company for a good period of time and just curious and I
like to visit Mr. Frank if possible. what’s for lunch? What’s the plan? I replied there’s a barbecue place we css ash go to . They have variety. We can go there. Friends are coming two or three of them want to visit Mr. Frank in the hospital do you like to join us? Of course I will join we can go around 7 o’clock visiting time may be over by nine. I agreed in the evening we had Barbecue nearby barbecue place and we headed to the hospital , parking was so bad but we parked way farther from the hospital and we visited Mr. Frank unlike in the past he was a little bit sad and irritated. She doesn’t want to talk to us. When visited his usual cheerfulness was not there. His face told us something is bothering him. We enquired do you need us to bring some food or good food from home and he said no. He also said that he won’t be coming to next video conference he wanted to take a week off. He said all good and we spend an hour sitting there talking among ourselves and he was just talking about the work and things about our family, but Mr. John didn’t say anything about his family or even about his pneumonia surprised me
I reached back home after the work around 10 PM. Christina was fast asleep. I tip toed in to my house so I don’t want to wake her up. We both slept. She slept good and snored very loudly. I turned and tossed in the bed and did not get quality sleep especially because of her snoring. Saturday morning I woke up so groggy and was so tired I asked Christina can you make coffee and she said yes she would make some omelette and there was bread. We tried to play chess for around one hour after breakfast so I had some bread coffee and omelette. I was so tired yesterday so I was not in a mood to talk to you, she wanted to talk now and her face clearly showed, but am I the person to talk I doubted, I don’t want to talk mainly because I thought Mr. Frank is grandfather and that old man is so stressed there’s something more than what is saying which made me scared to talk to her as it may hurt her further more or bring back some bad memories so I purposefully tried not to engage and suggested we both will talk in detail again at least after a day or two She asked me whether we wanted to do therapy. I told her I am tired and honestly I was tired as well as sleep deprived. She told me she doesn’t want to watch the movie. We spent some time in the backyard. Walked to the park nearby and returned back home and had Panera sandwich. Later we had some snacks and dinner. We ordered Chinese food again and had some Chinese food , and went to sleep early and I was so miserable without good quality sleep. This point I know her connection with my boss but not Christina which was good in her favor to open up to me if she wanted to and when she wanted.
