"ouchh!!!!...swayam it hurts... ...ouchh!!...swayam stop...!!!"
rey screamed while running away from swayam who was chasing him n hitting him with the pillows n cushions whatever came in his hand...
"ruk ja saale...ruk...tujhe abhi batata hu..." swayam ran after him
they were in their balcony now...
rey stopped running n started panting...swayam stopped n too started panting...
"maine kiya kya hai??" rey asked innocently
"kiya kya hai?? tujhe aur koi ni mili meri secretary ki post ke liye??" swayam asked irritatingly
"oh!! i see isliye tu itna drama kar raha hai."
"drama??? tujhe ye sab drama lag raha hai??"
"dude i am saying truth sharon is very nice girl... she is not like other girl...dumb n selfish...!!" rey explained
swayam recalled the interview that he took ...
he chuckled...
seeing him smiling, rey said " kaha tha na she is sweet..."
swayam came back to senses...
" k... kya... kaha tune..?"
"oh dude don't act before me... i know u..." rey said giving him u-are-impossible look
"oh yeah...waise u r right... she is indeed not dumb like other gals.. she has some brains...agar brain nahi hota to woh mere question ka answer kaise deti...!"
rey looked at him shocked with his eyes opened wide..
swayam looked at his face n realised what he just said...
"oh i mean...wo.." swayam amiled sheepishly
"hey bhagwaan !!mai sapna to nahi dekh raha?? swayam... swayam shekhawat ne kisi ladki i mean gal... i mean female...ki tareef ki!!!.." rey shouted dramitically
"rey... rey... dont over react..."
"over react kaise na karu...?? tune kisi gal ke liye aise word use kiye?? ye dialog n ye day toh world history record mein note hona chahiye...waise question kya pucha tha tune usse...??" rey chuckled
swayam told him the whole interview story...
rey burst out laughing ... he rolled over ground...catching his stomach...n laughed till he stomach ached in pain ..
on the other hand swayam was irritated by his so much laughing...
"oh dude mujhe tere cabin mein camera lagana chahiye tha...jo tera face ke expressions ko record kar deta .." rey said getting up from floor
"rey!!! bas ab bhahot ho gaya..."
"achha accha sorry.."
"waise tujhe kria kaise lagi??" swayam asked while changing topic
at the mention of kria's name rey went to the kria's dreamland...a flashback came over his eyes... since he met from the beginning.. ...new years eve...
paint encountered...2-way mirror-cleaning session...her big emrald shaped eyes...
her rose bud lips...her anger...n then interview... everything was in her that is enough to blow his mind...
swayam snapped his hand before rey's face...
"rey... rey??" swayam shook him
rey came back from "kria-land" ...n said
"haan tu kuch keh raha tha.."
"main puch raha tha tujhe kria kaisi lagi...??"
"beautiful.." rey smiled
"what?"
"i mean thik-thak hai .." rey said trying to hide his emotions
"thik-thak?? she is very good... dil ki achhi hai...n sun uske saath flirt mat karna she is already "engaged" .." swayam warned him
at the mention of the word engaged rey became little sad..
"i know ... i know she is engaged mujhe yaad dilane ki jarurat nahi hai n waise bhi i don't really like her, she is same as the other gals to me.."
"no she is different... did u asked that question...??" swayam argued
"which question??" rey narrowed his eyebrows
"dude u know very well which question am referring to... if any girl's answer blow up your mind then u'll come to know that's the correct gal for u... chal have to do lot of work..."
swayam was about to go but rey spoke...
"swayam ..."
" yup..??" swyam looked at him
"she answered that question ..."
"what?? what was her answer??"
swayam asked very curiously ..
"she is indeed a brave n intelligent gal.."
rey told him the interview scene...
swayam was shocked to hear kria's answer...
"indeed she is super intelligent n mindblowing.." swayam agreed
"hmm... aur sweet bhi hai.."
rey said the last line quite inaudibly
"ok chal , mujhe files study karni hai baad me milte hai.." swayam smiled at him
"ab plz apne room ko bhi apne office ke jaisa files se mess up mat kar dena..."
swayam smiled n went to his room...
rey was staring at the moon standing at the balcony...
cool breeze was passing through him ...he can feel the fragrance of kria in it ...it seemed that breeze played with kria's hair a while ago n came to him...
@ghai villa
kria was standing in her balcony too ,staring at the sky...
Sharon came with a mug of coffee in her hand...she forwarded it to kria...
it was a tiring n shocking day for both kria n sharon as they were unable to gulp down the fact that "reyansh" n "swayam" are their boses respectively...
kria was standing at her balcony thinking about something...she stood there quiet lost for long time staring at the stars in the sky...
sharon thought to break the silence...
"hwz is coffee?" sharon asked breaking kriya's chain of thoughts
"hmmm nice.."
"so kya soch rahi thi...?"
"hmm kuch nahi bas aise hi.."
sharon raised her eyebrow...n looked at kria...
"ok ok main kuch soch rahi thi... new appartment ke baare mein... tumne broker ko call kiya tha??"
"kria tumhe jhoot bolna aata nahi hai... why dont u accept it.."
sharon was to walk off to the room in angry mode... but kria stopped her...
"ok baba sorry... i forgot that am standing before mirror.." kriya bit her lips
sharon smiled ...
"dad n mom ko miss kar rahi thi na?"
kria nodded in agreement...
"tumhe unki yaad nahi aati...?"
"no... never.." sharon shrugged her shoulder carelessly
kria looked at her puzzled..
sharon gave her a side hug, rested her head on kria's shoulder n said
"kyunki mere liye toh tum hi dono ho...meri puri life.."
kriya smiled "achha..?"
"yup... i still remember how u took care of me.. when we were young... we both lost our parents but you forgot all your pains n instead took care of me...In my pain i forgot that you also need some care , love n time for yourself...but you yourself forgot that...you were always there beside me, when i needed you..when there was any trouble you were standing before me to face it..i still remember in our school days..when one of the senior girl tried to bully me, u slapped her so hard that you were suspended from school for one day.."
tears swelled in eyes of both the sisters... they were sobbing... when kria felt tears on her shoulder she wiped her tears... n looked at sharon , she wiped sharon's tears... n said...
"yeah... you were so sad about my suspension that u didn't went to school without me.." kriya smiled and answered
"yeah instead we went to amusement park to cheer up ourselves.."
"it was so much fun there na...we ate so many icecreams and played whole day.."
"yup...i was so much happy that when i went to school another day , i myself asked principle for another suspension.." sharon noded in yes
at this they both laughed n giggled at their stupidity n cuteness...
"and that slapping habit of yours didn't changed a bit... now also u slap people...i saw it at the interview day." sharon smiled
"oh that guy!! whose hairs had your chewed gum?" kriya cocked her eyes at sharon
kria n sharon both had their hearty laugh...
"sharon how is your new boss??
"who khadoos??" sharon scrunched her nose in disgust
"sharon!! he is a nice guy.."
"yeah yeah jo kabhi smile bhi nahi karta.. kabhi kabhi toh lagta hai mai walls se baat kar rahi hu.."
"ha ha .." kriya laughed at sharon's comment
"rey toh kaafi acha hai.. kaafi lively person hai.."
"yeah kuch jyaada hi lively hai, din bhar bakwaas karta rehta hai... nothing else.."
"kria maine broker se baat kar li hai wo kal mujhe apartment dikhane wala hai...but pata nahi wo khadoos mujhe leave dega ya nahi.."
"oh i forgot to tell u...its slipped out of my hand.." kria said remembering something
"what?"
" "she" called me i told her that we are looking for an appartment she told me that if we are unable to find a good one then she will sent an address where we can move.."
"ok... lets go to sleep ..or tommorrow that khadoos will chew me up.." sharon commented
" ok...gudnight...u go i'll come in a min.."
"gudnight..."
morning...
at office...
swayam's cabin- 8:00 am
swayam entered in his cabin n stood stunned looking at the cabin...everything was in order ... all files were kept in order... all pens in pen stand...a bunch of white roses in a flower pot at the corner of the table...every thing was perfectly managed... unlike other days...
it really looked like a cabin or other day it looked like a store room with all files littered on his table..
"good morning" sound came from a chirping girl who stood behind him..smiling widely...
swayam turned around n saw sharon smiling..
"good morning" he could only utter...
swayam sat on his chair..n opened a file...
"so did you liked your cabin?" sharon asked hoping to get some appreciation
swayam looked in the file and asked without moving his head out of the file
"u did this all??"
"yes" sharon answered
"these flowers ?? u brought??" swayam pointed at the flower
"yes aren't they beautiful?" sharon asked chirping
" throw them in dustbin?" swayam said in a monotonous tone
"what??" sharon asked
"yes miss sharon u heard it right...plz throw them in dustbin.."
"khadoos!!" sharon muttered under her breath
she just took flowers in her hand n asked swayam
"umm...sir...can i get a half day leave for today.."
"why? you have to go for lunch with your bf?? you can't have leave for your idiotic stuffs." swayam taunted
"look first thing - i dont have bf and second thing i have to do some important work of mine.."
"may i know whats that important work.."
"no you can't...i dont share my personal life with anyone...accept my sis.."
"you love your sis very much ??"
"yes i love my sis very much but i dont have time now...may i have a leave?"
"no you cant..today there is lot of work in the office..first of all give me the file of seldon construction."
sharon in anger threw the file before him on the table...
"and file of samuel and samuel company."
swayam suppressed his smile and asked again
sharon again threw the file before him..
"file of hastings..."
swayam was noticing sharon's anger but was enjoying getting her irritated..
sharon had enough of his files... this n that...she was really getting irritated...
she threw 3-4 more files before him and said "here these are files you will need them today, i have completed them all n cross checked them all..now can i have my leave...
"no.." swayam again refused
"but.."
"i said na no."
sharon stomped out in anger and muttered "maha khadoos".
swayam looked at all the files "so miss anger ko gussa karne ke alawaa kaam karna bhi aata hai"...
*****
rey's cabin
on the other hand,
rey was sitting in his chair ,with a file in his hand...he was looking at the door time to time as kria didn't turned up till now..his heart was waiting for her desperately...he was thinking of her..suddenly there was a knock at the door...
rey checked his coat , collar and set his hairs...he said "come in" with his dazzling smile on his lips but his smile soon fadded away...
a poen was with a tray of coffee in his hand was standing at the door...
"sir coffee.."
"oh thanks.."
poen went out..
rey took coffee in his hands and muttered
"tum kab aoogi miss beautiful??? rey ye tu kya soch raha hai & kyu"
just then a voice broke his thought "sir may i come in"...
rey looked up and soon ,a wide smile (really wide) unknowingly appeared on his face..
kria glared at him and felt awkward by his smile and called "sir"..
kria came inside
"sir i need to talk to you.." kria said while entering
(no response from rey's side)
"sir..??"
(no response)
rey was only staring at her...
kria was now really fed up now... she took glass of water from table n threw on rey's face...
"mummy... mummy.."
rey was shocked, he came back to his senses...he stood up from his chair..now he was really angry...he gave her a deathly look...
kria was initially scared but soon composed herself...
"umm sorry..sorry...am really sorry.." kriya started chanting
he stepped forward towards kria in anger n kria stepped backward with his each step towards her...and kria was constantly saying "sorry..."
they moved until kria hit her back on the wall..she was really scared ,she shut her eyes in fear..
rey looked at her scared face n smirked..he slowly moved closed to her , kria could feel his breath near her ears...
rey wispered in her ears "i took bath in the morning itself" n burst out laughing...
kria opened her eyes and looked at him in anger... rey stopped laughing ..
" i am sorry sir..i 'll clean it up.." kria said while gritting her teeth
kria took a tissue paper from table n started cleaning rey's shirt.. without knowing what her small touch is doing to rey...his stomach did somersaults...he was constantly looking at her...kria's hair was blowing n also not helping rey in controlling himself...
rey felt a huge urge to touch her hairs..while this whole moment kria was saying only one word "sorry" again n again... she was not looking at him..
she was busy in cleaning his shirt...on the other hand...rey moved the strand of her hair back behind her ear n slightly touched her ear...
at the feeling of his touch..,she looked up in rey's eyes n realized she was really close to him..she moved back a little..they both felt awkward...
To coverup the awkward situation rey said... "do you want something??"
"umm i want half day off!!"
"what??"
rey in his mind " abhi abhi toh aayi ho... plz mat jao na plz.."
" sir?"
kria in her mind "uff ...fir kaha kho gaya ye..angrez"
"sir?? can i go...?" kria asked expecting him to accept her request
kria asked so cutely that rey blurted out..."yes"
"thank you...thank u...so much..."
before rey could realise what he said
kria stomped off from the cabin in excitement...she was excited like a kid..
rey looked at her going n sighs..."oh man she is damn cute" n looked at his wet shirt..and smiled...
