Mondays are always pilled with lots of paper work, weekly review, meeting, new budget and targets as usual. Helma inhaled heavily after reaching the last floor for the Fourth time today. She paid the truck drivers who had delivered new devices the day before. Helma walked to the reception to meet Clara and Jay hugging passionately. Clara was calm, and without her makeup for the first time."Hi" Jay's voice stopped Helma who was walking towards the elevator. Helma turned and waved at the couple with a weak smile avoiding Clara's gaze. Helma got to her office to meet numerous messages from Donald. Her heart skipped at his texts. She read the text "come to my office now!" She wondered what she had done wrong that he had to send same text six times. She hurriedly fixed the last file that is meant for Donald's approval and took it along to his office.Helma knocked at Donald's office twice then the door opened and she was dragged inside by Donald in a twinkle of an eye. Helma found Donald'
Days went by faster than usual. Donald had new investors who invested millions in his new company. He has been more present in Franco groups than usual. Donald woke up at 6am Friday morning. He yawned tiredly tempted to go back to bed. He wore his flip flops and began his morning Routine as usual. His phone rang and it was uncle Billy. "Good morning boy. I know you are awake" uncle Billy's voice was sharp like he has been awake all night. "I sent few documents to your mail, you should review them and get back to me before Monday morning" he instructed."ok uncle . How is Andrea? " He asked over the phone. "don't ask after me, it is weekend! Give that girl the some time to go see her parents" Andrea's voice yelled over the phone. Donald chuckled and hanged up. He freshened up and got ready for work. He met Helma at the staircase wearing the same color as him. Navy blue.She wore a Navy blue pencil gown and red heels. Donald wore a navy blue suit, white sleeve and a brown shoe. "You loo
"What?" Helma exclaimed hanging in the balance between shock and excitement. She hasn't met her parents for a year now. Donald smiled faintly cleaning his hands with a paper towel. "Are you serious Donald?" She asked trying to clear her doubt. Donald nodded taking the pizza box and used paper towel to the tras can. Helma beamed happily.The ride back home was amazing. Helma sang along happily to the song on the radio. Donald occasionally turned to Helma and noticed her over excited mood. "It's been ages you saw your parents?" He asked casually. Helma's mood dropped at his question. "I haven't seen them for a year. You know, I was saving up for a house with my ex" she paused and inhaled. "And I had no constant income. I worked as a waitress and a babysitter, I could barely fix out time to go see them" she explained weakly.Donald inhaled and wondered why a man would want to tax his woman before they could get a house. " Your boyfriend was fully employed?" He asked with his voice fille
Helma's mom served dinner for Helma and Donald. She had curry chicken and rice. Donald helped himself to the dinning table and had a bite. It was simply amazing. He has never tasted anything so divine before. The couple sat close to each other and watched the Duo enjoy their meal. "Ema, you didn't give us heads up before coming" Helma's mom said clearing the plates. Helma smiled and assisted her with the plates "Donald gave me the weekend off and suggested I spend it with you guys " she said happily.Helma's dad raised his eyebrows when he heard Helma talk about working on weekends. "what is your job position? " He asked curiously. "secretary and personal assistant " Helma and Donald chorused together. The couple stared at them suspiciously. "you too look like a couple to me" Her dad said plainly drinking from his glass of water. Helma sighed softly, she knew arguing with her dad was off limits, her dad is very rational and wouldn't be easy to convince easily."Where do you work?" He
The duo kept quiet immediately the couple walked in. They never expected their little fight to attract the elders. "Helma?" Why are you fighting with our guest? Helma's mom asked again. Helma stuttered "... He is insisting I sleep on the couch and this is my room" she defended. Donald immediately changed into a saint. He quitely stood staring at the couple. Helma's mom looked at her waiting for his own side of the story."I just wanted her to ask politely. I am not that mean to allow her sleep on the couch" he said playing saint. Helma lunched at him "politely? This is my house and my room!! " She fired back. "That is no way to talk to your boss sweetie" Helma's mom corrected. "They are a couple Victoria" Helma's dad said and walked out. "Listen you two, you better sleep calmly without any noise. The neighbors are listening" she said and followed her husband."we are not a couple and you will lie down without any troubles" Helma instructed locking the door. Donald chuckled and lied d
"Wakey wakey" Donald kissed Helma's cheeks. Helma yawned and turned over sleepy. "I brought you breakfast in bed dummies! Sit up" he teased taking off the duvet. Helma sat up sleepy and supported her back with a pillow. Donald handed the tray of waffles, baked beans, berries and chocolate hot drink to her. Helma smiled and whispered thank you. Donald and Helma had breakfast together, talking and laughing at silly jokes. "Donald, I will like to have a word with you" Helma's dad called from the door with a strict tone. Helma smiled and greeted her dad, but she got a nod in response. Donald quickly round up breakfast and left to join Helma's dad who has been waiting in the sitting room.The duo sat beside each other in cold silence. Donald could not understand the purpose of the meeting. He has never been scared of any meeting before, but this got him tensed. His thoughts wondered around different topics but it was cut off when he heard the first question. "Who are you to my daughter?"
Helma had a great time reconnecting with her family. It was Sunday evening and Helma has had her bags packed. The day before, she and Donald had spent almost all day texting. Helma would blush as smile at every text. Donald had informed her that he would be coming to pick her the next evening. "Ema, you should come back some desert for Mary" Helma's mom's voice raised from the kitchen. Helma came out of her room with her packed luggage and her purse. She struggled with her luggage as it was heavier than the way it came. Helma packed her favorite blanket, pjamas she had left a year ago and her family picture. She battled with the box till she got help from Donald who has been sitting at the dinning. "Lazy kitten" Donald blasted taking the luggage from her. Helma raised her nose and poked her tongue at him. Victoria Helma's mom has packed different desert and homemade cookies, bread for Helma and Donald. She had labels on each pack. Helma, Donald, Mary. Helma said her final goodb
These are my favorite deserts. Your mom and I use to make these snacks together years ago" Mary said sounding emotional. "You too should freshen up and come down for dinner" Mary instructed heading to the kitchen. Helma and Donald dragged who was taking the stairs first. They pushed and fought each other till Donald tricked Helma and ran passed her. Mary peeped at the playful duo from the dinning and smiled.It was a great sight for her. Donald has always been locked up. He has never seen Donald being less formal with an opposite sex. Everything to Donald was business. Seeing him fall for Helma was satisfying. Minutes later, Donald rushed downstairs freshened up. "Where is the other pack of desert?" He hurriedly asked scanning through the dinning table. Mary microwaved the pack labeled Helma and handed it over to Donald.Donald served his plate and sat down to eat. Mary found Donald's actions quite suspicious. "Donald, you should eat dinner before desert. And take it easy too" Mary ad
