I Feel Avoided

Although I have to say that everything that goes on our relationship makes me think that our relationship is true, there are some things that make things complicated. I know they don’t mean that our relationship is not true. Still I feel terribly sad when something happens like the following one.

Pialy is commendably an active girl who doesn’t waste any of the moments she gets every single day. After coming back from her school around 5 pm, she directly goes to her job. She works in a store which is a little far from her home. She works there everyday. Even on weekends, including Saturdays, she goes to her job at 12 pm. I don’t remember any weekend she spent with me online. (Don’t I matter?!)

But this one is particularly important. You have probably heard of Eid-ul-Fitr which is the largest religious festival of the Muslims across the world. We are Muslim, so simply we ought to celebrate the day that comes to us once a year.

Luckily, this year’s Eid is on [next] Sunday. A few months ago I asked her, “What will you do on the Eid day if that falls on weekend?”

She replied, “I will spend the day (which is my night over here in Bangladesh) with you online.”

From then, I was expecting to spend the night with her online.

But a few moments ago when she called me, I asked if she is going to take a day off from her job. She said that she is going to her job even though that’s Eid day.

I asked surprisingly, “Can’t you take a day off? This day comes once in a year.”

She gently replied, “On Sundays, our store remains busy all through the day. So, I can’t.”

I said anxiously, “Come on, don’t treat me fool. It’s the most special festival of our religion, have you forgot that? If you go and tell your boss about the day, your boss is sure to vacant you for a day only.”

She remained silent which obviously indicated that I’m right.

I was willing to remind her about what she had said earlier. But I had no choice. The fact is, The more time she works on her job, the more money she earns. So, if I interrupt her, she is going to be rude on me.

Money got higher priority than me. To me, it is not supposed to be fair. But it might be for her.
