Dear Diary ...
01/ 02 /. ...........Today I joined Mrs. Z as nanny for her 9 year old daughter Miss.Y ..
Mrs.X is so classy and pretty , and her accent , oooh la la ..
She really is very polished ...Though the same can't be said about Mr.X , he's bald and a bit old for her , but anyway , they seem ok to me ..
And Miss Y is so cute and polite , quite vulnerable I'd say ..I ha never seen a grander home ,it'e quite big and comfortable , and the pay is good , it'll help me with my own college fees too , and I get to live in this grand home too ..
14 / 02 / ..........
Whooooof ...
Exhausted ...
Tired ...
What with Mr. X , being out of the town and Mrs. X , out of the house ALL the time ..
Today she's gone for some charity work with the orphanage and tomorrow it's something for the old people's home ...
and BTW , I am living in the small room just outside of the pantry ...(high hopes I had )
I hardly get a chance to see Mrs. X ..
Have to talk to her about Miss Y's upcoming exams ..
15 / 02 / ....
Finally caught hold of Mrs . X , for a few seconds , just as she was about to get into her car ..
She's asked me to look after the studies too , and I didn't have the heart to tell her that it was not part of the deal ..
But what with the tutor quitting and all that ...
Mrs. X , promised me that she'll make it upto me ..
Anyway Dear Diary , gotta go , Miss Y is back from school ..
30 . 02 ......
Whoa ...
Finally , the exams are over ...Mr. X is back in town and sometimes I actually SEE Mrs. X ..
Wonder why she's in such a foul mood of late though ...
09 / 03 /....
A mother of all fight is taking place in the bedroom of the X 'es ..
Trying ro keep Miss Y and myself out of the way ...
I just overheard Mr. X call his wife a low lying scum ...
Oh god ...
12 .03 /
The results are out and Miss Y has topped her class ...
Now the deal is to get either of her parents to get to sign her report card ...
No mean task this ...
16 / 03 / to 20 / 03 ...
Report card not signed YET ....
It;s just lying there on the dresser where I'd kept it ..
22/ 03 / ..
Received a call from school , requesting to submit the report card ASAP , duly signed ...
23 / 03 / ...
Mrs X , is now the GS of the orphanage helping society ..
I wonder who is a bigger orphan right now , her own kid or the one's outside of the house ..
Yeah house , somehow I feel , I was wrong about the whole HOME thing ...
27 / 03/ ...
No longer finding Mrs. X lovely and sweet anymore ..
Finally got an audience with Her MAJESTY and got the RC signed ..
Yay ...
30 / 03 / ..
Mrs. X has called me to her room and gave me an envelope , hope it contains the tuition money as well ..
01 / 04 / ...
I am in shock ,..
so I guess ,
underneath all that glitter and gloss ,
she really was a downtown trash ..
What I found in the envelope was my severance notice and my salary cheque ,with not a single rupee extra for the backbreaking tuition that I had to give Miss. Y ...
