Rearranging the day. part 4.

 .....Contd from Part 3......

Now since there was decentralization of activities, they were quite organised. They were able to focus on their own verticals and the poor child was also receiving due attention from parents.As it is a general happening in most of the households nowadays that owing to the over involvement of the parents in their jobs and outward activities, the child gets neglected. In the beginning their case was also similar. But after realizing the problem both sat down amicably and unanimous decision of Mary quitting the job was taken. They didn't want to compromise with the child's future as Sam's earnings was sufficient enough to keep the ball rolling. 

Although Sam and Mary were not atheist, but they couldn't get any time for worship, hence it was only on either Saturdays or Sundays that they visited the Church in their vicinity. Rafe also accompanied them, as they wanted their child to be a gentleman like every other parents and accordingly a deeper moral sense needed to be developed. Accordingly they were inculcating a more developed conscience of the child as whenever they visited the Church, they closed their eyes and prayed and so did Rafe as the child learns from his parents. They spent quite a considerable time in the Church and when they returned home they asked Rafe as what did he ask for in his prayers. Rafe since was a child after all, innocently replied with some giggling answers which always brought smile to their countenance.

This weekend when  they visited the Church, Sam turned introvert and inquisitive, as he wanted the answers to his queries- all those ominous happenings that was taking place since quite a few days. He sat for long closing his eyes and after about nearly half an hour, opened his eyes smiling - perhaps he got the answer to the whirling questions. Quite a few days back he remembered, that while taking the interviews for the new employees, he rejected a female candidate on account of her lesser experience, although her academics were simply impressive, but since the requirement demanded a more experienced person, Sam couldn't make a compromise to that. The Interviewee kept on pleading after the rejection, citing the grave difficulties that she was in, but he couldn't consider as per the job requirements. 

This very scene flash backed in his conscience, and at this juncture he got an answer the chain of baleful events that happened in the recent past. That girl was indeed in need of a job and her credentials proved that she could well cater to the requirements of the job. 

Sam discussed this with Mary and she also affirmed on his inhibitions, to call her back and employ her to the vacant position.........Contd.........
