Chapter 31: Managing her biological clock and natural clock
She reached home around 6:30 and prepared the dinner. Abhikshith and Sachin were already present at home before her.
"Hey. Good evening. How was the day?", Kruthika asked as she rested herself on the armchair beside the sofa.
"Good. How did the classes go?", asked Abhikshith as he passed the water bottle to her.
"Thank you. As usual nothing new", Kruthika said glaring at the table.
"Hey. When did you come?", asked Sachin who came from his room.
"Just now. It's been just two minutes. So how was your day at work?", asked Kruthika.
"Oh it was good. I'm really learning new concepts daily", said Sachin.
"Great. Okay I'll just get freshed up and cook something for dinner", Kruthika said as she rose from the chair and headed upstairs.
When she got freshed up and came down to prepare dinner everyone were present. She cooked food quickly and called everyone to have dinner.
"Kruthika. I always wonder how do you manage the natural clock and human body clock. Like I've one friend who did night shift of work but he says he can't get sleep at day when he's fine with job. It was about for him to manage his sleep and food cycle with the natural clock. How do you do it?", Abhikshith asked as they were about to begin the dinner.
"It's difficult to adjust both of them to run without disturbing one another. We can train our body or mind in the way we want. One has to fool their brain in order to achieve it. Your dinner will be breakfast according to my clock, I've it heavily. And I don't have lunch or any meals during my work which is night according to nature but due me it's day. I've snacks not junk food but dry fruits, nuts and jaggery", Kruthika said.
She continued, "It's noticeable that if one has heavy meals afternoon person feels sleepy. And in my case if have heavy meals during my I can go sleep easily in order to avoid it, I won't have my lunch. My dinner will be your breakfast, again with I've moderately. To sleep during day it's toughest job, I've to balance it daily there shouldn't be any disturbance to it. I can also peacefully only when I'm exhausted from the day. So I keep myself busy with yoga, music and house chores. And I do take yoga because it's morning to me and I've to do some physical activity and music helps me to bring me back to the rythm ".
"I hope you've got your answer", Kruthika asked as she ended.
"Yeah I got it. But why don't you join for day shift instead of this night shift. In day shift you'll not have all these complications. It would have been more simpler if you do it", and Abhikshith.
"Just because it's a bit difficult does not mean one should quit it. Moreover night shift has its own advantages. Oh. I'm getting late", Kruthika as she looked at the clock.
"Sorry. I wasted your time", Abhikshith said.
"No don't be. You shouldn't apologise for what you are not responsible. Okay I've to get dressed for job", Kruthika said as she headed towards her room.
She got dressed for her job and said bye to all and left the home. She waited for the bus in bus stop talking to Krishna.
"Don't you feel strange about Martha and Lisa. Lisa didn't resemble to Martha. And what's with Abhi, he asks me questions all the time only about me. Is he trying to know me. I mean is he trying to understand me and then.... Do you even think what I think? Oh God! I just said you that I'll never talk about him with you right. I'm sorry. This is last time really the last time. I've many things to focus on assist from him"
She reached the airport and sat at the bench thinking about the day. She put in her earphones and listened to nothing, she only acted as of she was listening. She observed people airport some were hurrying while some were going without any tension.
Her phone buzzed, she opened it from her bag and found it was a call from her parents. It was pretty unusual because they never call her this late. Basically it past mid night in India and they should be sleeping by this time. She recieved the call to know why did they call her.
Madhusudan: Kruthika, I need one answer from you.(His voice seemed to be panicked)
Kruthika: Dad what's the matter. It's almost 1:15am in morning there. Why did you call me midnight?
Madhusudan: I found this photo of your's with another boy in your room. He resembles you. Who is he?
Kruthika: Dad, first be calm. Second, where did you find that photo. Thirdly, even though you find it, it's not the good time for this conversation and suitable method of conversation also.
Madhusudan: I just found it evening in our room while cleaning the old boxes. I'm not able to sleep from that time. I thought you would be free by this time now so...
Kruthika: (Taking a deep breath) Dad, he's my friend Karthik, we studied together in the school. Yes we both resemble each other. There's nothing to worry about it. I'm afraid of your health take rest dad.
Madhusudan: Okay dear. I'm sorry I'll call you later. Have a good day sorry night.
Kruthika: Dad, is everything fine. How are you?
Madhusudan: Everything's fine dear. Everything's fine (in low voice barely audible).
Kruthika: Okay dad. I'll call you back.
She ended the call. She went to the airport to the tower and went to washroom. She locked the main door of washroom. She stood infront of mirror and talked in sign language to the mirror.
"It's dark outside. The day was sunny and hot. Within few days it's gonna rain"
She then unlocked the door. She waited in the cafeteria of the tower having some coffee. She thought about the days how she worked hard to reach this position and why she lied to her parents about the boy.
