it was monday,around 8:50am ,
siddhi was the fist one to come to office. when she entered the office ,as per the instructions of ritcha a janitor was arranging additional table chair for siddhi .he put the table in between kunal's and ritcha's table, beside the book shelf so that all three can sit in a row.
look at the space between the two tables where siddhi's table was arranged!๐
janitor:' madam...kya yeh table chair arrangement aap kay leyeh hai...?๐' he asked for conformation before he could leave.
siddhi:'haan...thanks๐...' she went and kept her bag on the table and took her seat. kunal and ritcha were yet to come. ' patha nahi yeh log kab aayen gay...they may not be having regular office hours like others...๐' siddhi got up from her seat and started looking at the books in the shelf.
while she was keenly looking at the books turning her back towards the entrance she heard the...clicking sound of shoes... very familiar one!...she could smell the body fragrance !...it was him!...kunal ! with great difficulty she hold on her urge to turn and look at him ...after few second when the clicking sound stopped she turned back expecting that he might have went to his seat. unexpectedly she found him standing right behind her! most awaiting moment for both...they gazed at each other.
kunal:' kai se ho?...๐' he asked her holding his gaze, with concern and with a very pleasant smile.
siddhi 'absolutely fine...๐...aap ko kya laga?...i will be wandering on the streets singing ...O re piyaaa...' she sang with a smirk...and tried to raise her left eyebrow as he does while asking question to his students.
kunal: ...'his chubby face quickly turned as a deflated balloon.he did not expected that type of reply from her.he stared at her intently and tried to read her thought. she slightly shivered under his intense gaze.
siddhi:'...jiska koi nahi hota uska bhagwaan hota hai...and so with me...๐' she said again to let him know what she is in her thought.
kunal:' ...without saying any thing he went to his seat.
ritcha:' oh tum aagaye!...๐' she entered with a wide smile and a white expensive leather bag on her shoulder.she was wearing a pure white chiffon saree and white blouse. from her dress up siddhi understood that she has to go to court today.
siddhi:' good morning ritcha ji ...๐' richa least bother to wish her back.
ritcha:' hai kunu...๐'she went straight to kunal.
kunal:' hi...๐ ' he gave a refreshing smile.
ritcha:'yo...i have a tough trial today...please help me...๐' she kept her hand bag on his table, pulled a chair and sat beside kunal with the case file.
siddhi:...she failed to react as she never expected to face this type of situation. the way ritcha called him kunu irritated her. she took a law book from the shelf and sat on her seat.ritcha sitting beside kunal and giggling frequently multiplied her irritation.
next 30 minutes neither ritcha nor kunal realized that there was a third person sitting in that room.
ritcha: 'thanks๐...will be back to you in between the trial ...' she got up from her seat.siddhi understood that ritcha is leaving.
siddhi:' ritcha ji...what should i do?...๐' she stood up thinking that ritcha may take her to court room.
ritcha:' ohhh!...๐' she stopped for a while.
siddhi:๐ she looked at her, waiting for her answer.
ritcha:' kunu...please aaj thoda isse engage karlo...teach her some basic things ...' she said in a fast phase and left the room.
siddhi:...'she looked at kunal.
kunal:' ๐คฃ...O re piyaaa hayeee...udne laga kyun man baawla re ...๐คฃ...' he sang her song.
siddhi:' not funny...๐' she shrunk her nose and showed her angry face.
kunal:' ab aajao mere paas...i will engage you..๐' he said with double meaning.
siddhi:' ...๐' she quickly took the note pad and pencil from the table, went to him with hesitant, yet eager steps.
kunal:'...you are not my PA and i am not going to dictate any notes to you...๐' he teased her.
siddhi:...she kept the note pad along with the pencil on his table and was about to sit right in front of him, in the gust table.
kunal:' nahi...๐ก' he stopped her
siddhi: ๐ฒ
kunal: wahan nahi...yahan...๐' he showed the seat next to him in which few minutes ago ritcha was sitting and discussing.
siddhi:๐ she took the seat beside him with out any objection as if she too wanted that place.
kunal: ๐...he enjoy looking at the girl who had escaped from his sight for 30 days...she was very next to him at a touching distance...he saw nothing but her face....glued at her as if trying to fix a copy of her picture in his mind forever. ' god! how much i wanted her...craved for her!'
siddhi: ๐...she looked...looked...and...looked. he was looking awfully handsome in milk white shirt and sky blue jeans.she loved every breath he took,she stared at him...they enjoyed that silent more than words.
kunal:' i know my face is too good looking for young girls to handle...๐'he laughed with joy.
siddhi:' nahi wo ...๐ณ' words jammed in her throat.
kunal:' umm...ab bathao? ๐' he helped her to speak out.
siddhi:' kya?๐...' she hold her breath and beat.
kunal:'...kaisi ho ?๐'
siddhi:' wo...mai tho...' while she was struck with her reply ritcha stormed in.
kunal:' ritchu!๐ ' he got up from his seat .
siddhi: she felt as if all her sweet moments washed out by her entry.
kunal:' ritchu what happened?๐...' siddhi too got up to leave space for him to come out of his table.
ritcha:'tch! ๐...kunu...the important witness did not turn up...i requested the judge to give one last hearing...๐' she kept the case file on her table pouting her lips.
kunal:'...these are very common in our profession...๐' he convinced her.
ritcha:'... i wanted to close that case today...it is a long pending one...' she came to kunal.
kunal:๐
siddhi:
ritcha:' chalo...we will go for coffee...๐'
kunal:' no... i don't want to...๐' he refused to go.
ritcha:'look at the time.! it is going to be 11pm. coffee time...usually this time we go for coffee isn't it...?๐' she wide opened her big eyes and pouted her lips again.
kunal:๐
ritcha:' sooch kya rahe ho?...chalo ...my head is hurting...i want to have hot coffee...' with mouth pouted she casually hold his wrist and dragged him.kunal don't like to leave siddhi and go, at the same time he don't want to take her with him. he wanted to keep his aggressive feelings towards her under low profile in front of ritcha.he don't wanted to uncover his feelings to siddhi either, as he has deliberately denied her proposal.where as involuntarily one corner of his heat and mind always wanted siddhi to win over him.without further hesitation kunal went with ritcha.before exiting he turned back to have a glance of siddhi .
siddhi: ๐...she gave a look of 'as if i care...' neglected siddhi went to her seat.
' these two are very much elder than me ...par dill aur dimag se bahut chote hain...don't have the manners to call me for coffee...formality kay leyeh hi sahi...๐ก'she sat in her seat fuming. they calling each other kunu and ritchu aggravated her anger.' ewww...why the hell she pouting her lips while talking with kunal...looks as if she is about to kiss him at any time...disgusting...' with that disgust feeling and anger she took the case file ritcha left it on the table to study. while she was going through the file the janitor who arranged the table for her came with hot coffee in a Nescafe paper cup.
siddhi:' coffee!๐...maine tho nahi maanga?...๐ 'she looked confused at the janitor.
janitor:' kunal sir ne bheja hai...๐' he kept it on her table.
siddhi:' oh! ๐thanks๐... tumara naam kya hai?...'her face instantly became happy knowing that kunal has sent coffee for her.
janitor:'raju...๐' he left the room to attend other office staffs.
siddhi looked at the Nescafe...the very thought of kunal send Nescafe for her excited as if she drank big can of Red Bull in one go.
siddhi:' ๐...she enjoyed looking at the Nescafe coffee more than drinking it.while she was looking at the coffee cup and the file alternatively rohit entered the office.
rohit:' hi...sidd...๐' he walked to her desk.
siddhi:' sweetu!๐...' unexpected siddhi got up from her seat.
rohit:' di aur KC sir dik nahi rahe hai...๐' he said looking around.
siddhi:' they went for coffee...๐'
rohit:' kya!...they left you and went for coffee...๐ก' he instantly got angry.
siddhi:'it's ok ...i was busy...' while she was talking to rohit , richaand kunal returned back talking and laughing after spending their coffee time.
ritcha:'rohit tum!...๐...when did you come?...' she straight away went to him instead of going to her desk, where as kunal went to his desk as if rohit's visit has nothing to do with him.
rohit:' just now...a flying visit to see how siddhi's first day of office is...๐' when he mentioned ' siddhi ' ritcha looked at siddhi and remembered her mistake.
ritcha: ' oh sorry siddhi...mere case kay tension mai i completely forgot your presence and did not take you for coffee...' she sincerely regretted for her behaviour.
siddhi:' it is ok...๐...'
ritcha:' after going to coffee shop i remembered you and send the coffee through raju...๐' she looked at the Nescafe coffee cup on her table and found that the coffee cup was untouched.
'what? the Nescafe was send by ritcha ji !๐ฒ not by kunal...that means raju made the mistake in mentioning the name...'her realization pulled down her excitement she had thinking that it was sent by kunal.
ritcha:' yeah tho thandi hogaye...๐' she said looking at the cold coffee cup.
rohit:' never mind di...i will take her for coffee๐...wasie bhi siddhi ko chocolate flavoured cappuccino with whipped cream topping ziyada pasand hai ...๐' he said to ritcha looking at kunal.
kunal: even though he was listening to him he continued doing his work without giving important to his talk.
siddhi:' nahi ...i am busy now...๐' she disapproved looking at kunal's unhappy and upset face.
rohit:' di...can i have your permission...๐'
ritcha:' sure... take her...par jaldi aajana...๐'she immediately gave permission.
rohit:'ofcourse di...chalo sidd...i have taken permission from your boss...'
siddhi:...she went hesitantly with rohit.while going she looked at kunal.
kunal:๐...he too threw his look at her with an attitude ' i don't care '
