Chapter 3
"Good morning Ayan. Snacks and water is packed, please kaana ka lena. Main aur Samay tume pick up all right. she smiled, the girl cheerfully nodded sitting on the bike while Maya switched the backpack on Ayan's shoulder for the elephant one. Keeping it on the handle! "Sorry tume bahoth thang kar rahe hai na?
"She is mine too. Dher se aaya lekin aaya. Main iss waqth ke liye hi jeetha hoon. He replied driving away, "By baby!
"By candy. she called back, smiling Maya went up the circular stairs. The home was nicely set with a small pond and a flower garden with a variety of flowers on the other side. The building itself was based on Italian villa's, painted in a light cream colour with dark windows. Complete with the uneven setting of rooms and the arches. The door was open and a guy with a dark-pale complexion and dark hair setting him off. A thick set of eyebrows nearly covered the cat like eyes but the sharp nose and bright smile basically made him nice. The fact that he was nicely built with no shirt on and a baggy-black three fourths. A brown rustic' coffee mug in his hand, sipping, "Aise kya dhek rahe ho?.
"Maya ko ek mom ke role main. That is the last thing I ever imagined. he laughed, rolling her eyes she went near him gently wrapping her arm around her waist giving him a side hug. "Thank you Samay.
"Thank you for making me Samay. he replied using his free hand to wrap it around her shoulder, "Most importantly thank you for Ivya.
"Thank you Aasha ko bolo. Muje nahi - listen aaj hum chalenge kaise? she asked when the gate bell rang again, "Who is it?
"Sanga. came the reply, again Maya rushed up to the button which allowed the gate to open. A girl driving a white activa, her long hair was braided stylishly and she wore a red off shoulder dress which fell further than her knees. She had accessorized it with a gold serpent like belt and a beaded gold plated chain reaching to her upper stomach. Slim and built up with highly sharp features, she too had a dark green backpack with her. The fact that she had worn light pink lipgloss and a little bit of red eye shadow... just a small layer above the eye-liner highlighted her even more. The black see through, ankle boots completed the outfit, though nodding to her politely he asked Maya, "Morning May, morning Sam.
He replied, gritting his teeth he replied, "It's Maya and Samay. Aaj kithne ghayal hue?
"Hoga koi dus ya ghyara. she replied shrugging, "Maya, ek choti si kaam hai aaj I am going to need my ID card.
"I will bring it. Samay walked inside, "Coffee chahiye kya?
"Nope! the girl called back, Maya asked her, "Ithni subha kiske saath meeting hai tumhari?
"Ek sculptor - more like a modern art kind of artist who does a lot of traditional work. I need to convince him to create models in mobile scales for clients in bulk. Karvadhiya tho order dhekar bechna shuru karpayenge. Profit margin iss main hoga around six to ten percent. Delivery ko bhi dhekna hoga...
"Oh - vo shop and drop concept ke liye? Maya asked and she nodded, "Uske baadh kuch designers se bhi baath karna padega. Clothes and accessories ke liye - you know for those filthy rich types!
"Get the guy to agree and I will send out the order to our student-employe body. Vahan se kuch aache ideas bhi milenge aur sasta bhi. Maya added, picking up her phone and adding a note. "What?
"I just say there is a meeting and you have already set up a plan of actions. You are actually setting up a program to deal with it. You are really amazing, aap jaise loog bahoth kaam hai iss duniya main. Smiling at her Maya patted her cheek, "Don't worry about anything. Tumhare saath jo kuch hua, hum use phir se interfear karne ki ijasath nahi denge. Yeah Maya Meherothra ka vaadha hai tumse.
"Aur Samay Nandha ka vaadh yeah hai ke tume bahoth jaldh ek chance milegi apna naam karne ke liye. Ek aisa naam jismain tume gharv hoga. The girl smiled takeing the ID card he handed to her, "Ek minute, Maya apni haathon se issko dahi chakar dhedo.
Taking the small green cup with little curd in it Maya smiled and fed the girl a few spoons,"Aacha shagun hai, jisko Samay bahoth maantha hai.
"Main bhi. A tear filled Sangamithra replied, "Meri ma manthi thi tho maine bhi maanthi thi.
Hugging Maya goodbye she drove away again. Just then one more vehicle rolled inside. A red sports convertible with the hood down, a guy with tanned and petal like eyes with soft features drove in. His wind blown hair dyed in several colors on the tips, a brown and white bandana tied on his head. The sleeveless white t-shirt, a thick platinum short chain around his neck, an expensive watch on one wrist and a rugged bracelet on the other. Several fancy platinum rings on his fingers... wavering to Maya he drove right past her,"Aagaya tera saiyan.
"Samay, Yudi mera saiyan nahi hai. Maya argued at least tried to, "Vo ek bahoth aacha ladka hai. He is the best content editor I have ever worked with in years. Uupar se meri kaafi sare aajeeb ideas ko bhi samaj patha hai. He actually pulls an extra time to help look into our side business too and connects them to the magazine experience.
"He is also a creep with too many girls hanging around him. Free time main patha kya kartha hai? Samay demanded, Maya sighed and replied, "Writes a blog for men about how to deal with women.
"Mujse zyadha vo ladkiyon ko degrade kartha hai lekin ithni meeti meeti baathon se karvatha hai ke saari ladkiyon ko lagtha hai ke vo unnko samajtha hai. His blog is a guide for men to get the woman to bed with them. Bas saaf saaf nahi boltha. Aur kapde dheka tumne, tumse zyadha accessorise karke aath hai vo bhi colour match ke saath. the argument continued, when the guy in question walked over confidently showing off the large platinum belt he wore along with the brown jeans and sandals. He had a large black side-bag slung across his shoulder from right to left.
Smiling at Maya sweetly he placed an arm around her shoulder, he took her arm using the other one kissing it gently, "Hello Candy. You look ravishing today.
Smiling Maya looked down blushing a bit, "Good mooring, Yude... shall I get you your coffee?
"Aah coffee vo bhi tumhare haathon. Kaunsa pagal na kahega. Please, but take your time. Don't rush on my account. Nodding Maya walked away as Yude smiled changed into a more wolfish one as he watched the way she moved. "Did you see that? Taak taak taak taak perfect cemetery while walking. Na ek inch idhar aur na ek inch udhar. She is just a vision!
Samay grabbed his coffee cup harder in anger, "Listen Yu-de, Maya tumhari boss hai stay within your limits.
"Oh I am brother. Just enjoying the view... agar bagwaan ne aanke dhiya aur saath saath dhekne ke liye ek apsara tho uss main meri kya galthi. He laughed seeing the other guy's reaction. "Don't worry vo mujse thodi badi hai.
"Thodi? Samay asked, Yude held his hands up, maintaining an expression of mockery, "She is all your's brother. Main tho kosish bhi nahi karunga!
Just then Maya walked back with his coffee, "Kya kosish nahi karoge De?
"Aah I love it when you call me De, tume paane ke liye. He replied again making Maya blush as he pushed a hair away from her face, "Coffee piyo deed saara kaam hai aaj, actually I want most of the stuff to be interlinked to one and another online once this month's issue designing is over.
"Maine already karvadhiya, full script and were to link them up have been set up. Ek baar agar tum ussko dheko tho processing ke liye beej sakthe hai. I will personally sit down with Ray and we can work through the tagging if you want that. he offered, "Actually tum bas list beej dho, tum dhon saath main baithe tho world war three shuru hojayega.
As they walked away laughing, Samay's eyes linged on her walk, thinking - Ladka saach keheraha tha, na ek inch udhar aur na ek inch idhar. Lekin kisi ko nahi patha hai ke tumhari asli kuubsurathi tumhari andhar ki aachayi hai. Vo aachayi jo burayi ko bhi aacha karvadhetha hai. Lekin uske baath unlogon ko tumhari gulam bhi bana dhethi hai.
Sighing he closed his eyes for a minute again whispering the mathra that seemed to have kept him alive, I love you Ma-ya I am yours. Unaware of all this, she continued chattering away with Yude, "Yeah so what are we considering? A colour coded system or more of a shade changer?
"Shade changer - we don't want the people to get completely distracted from reading the article. Talking about distractions how do you expect the boys to work? She looked at him lost, "Sorry?
"Tum aise gumogi tho Samaya kaam nahi karpayega. Maya made a face, "Usse aaj koi kaam bhi nahi hai. Kaam tho muje hai, proof reading ka lekin vo almost hochuka hai!
He led her down to the hall' the neat sitting area with cream walls with beautiful multi color four petal flowers. A set of black leather couch, two four setters and a two seater. There were also a few roll able (multi-purpouses) stools also of the same leather couches. In the center was a beautiful circular coffee table made of metal and glass. There too it was painted with beautiful similar flowers, they sat down, setting the coffee on the table. They were pulling out a laptop, he opened it continuing the conversation in hand... the real conversation though continued.
"Maya what I meant was Samay loves you. Vo tumhare liye puuri dunya se ladne ke liye thiyar hoga. Lekin tume kisi aur ke banathe hue bhi ek shabh nahi bolega. Apne pyar par ithna control dal kar raka hai.
