Well this is more of a drabble than a one shot really.Anyhow...
OS | Dear Santa
Dear Santa,
Jolliest greetings from New Delhi! And how are you doing my favourite man? Late letter you ask? Well, I have a very grumpy guy for a boss you see, the man can't even do a proper Ho ho ho! What is life without laughter I say? What's up with you anyways? Buaji sends her warmest hugs and is already penning down her letter to you. Beware! She has NK Bhaiya on her wishlist too!
Talking about wish lists , I haven't made a proper one this year. Hah. Yes, I did lose my bet. I did finally forget to make a wish list, all thanks to Mr Khadoos Raizada. Hey Devi maiyya! I have already mentioned that man twice in my letter. What the heavens is wrong with me?
Santa. No. No. Please don't quit reading this letter, I haven't any time to write another one or I would have done so. This is the fifth one I am writing all over again , just so you know. ANYHOW..
Yes, my wishlist. So I am just writing off the top of my head now, hoping it would make sense.
All I want for Christmas is-
- A comfy warm woollen coat for Lavanya. So that she can cover up well this winter, my best friend barely wears clothes. *snorts* Okay okay that was a joke, fine? But yes, please. A fashionable coat for my supermodel [someday] of a friend.
- A new sari and a pair of gloves for mummy dearest. Sari, because she hasn't bought one for years and gloves because her hands freeze every other day from washing all those utensils.[Our kaamwaali is sick, hence.]
- An even bigger heart for my Babuji. I really don't think he can manage anymore with the fist of a heart we have biologically. His good deeds go beyond that.
- Good health for my Kaamwaali. That woman. She is superwoman. Bless her, pretty pleaj with a bow-tied broom on top?
- A new tummy for Buaji. She can't hold it all in, who knows it better than you? OHKAY. Sowwie. No more disrespect. All I want for her is a jolly old Nandkishore. Of HER age. So that they can have their happily ever after! *bollywood music*
- A new home for Devdas, our temporary adopted doggy. Please please. I can't afford keeping more dogs and Devdas can't spend his life on the streets, can he? *puppy dog face*
- A smile for my Khadoos boss. Last but not the least. Give him your jolly "Ho!Ho!Ho!" for a day please. What a treat it would be for us! Make him cheerful Santa, I bet you a Dairymilk silk that you can't! Well, khadoos as he is, give him a merry Christmas. He deserves it.
...what did I just say? I mean a teeny-weeny tiny bit deserves it, okay? OKAY? Okay.
There goes my wish-list! I have longer one, but let's keep that to when we meet okay? Merry Christmas Big guy! Will be waiting :D
-Yours truly
Khushi Kumari Gupta
PS- Tell Rudolph , I have a nose just like him!
PPS- My sleigh ride? You promised!
He stared at the piece of paper, slightly amused, slightly with disbelief. Khadoos as he is, give him a merry Christmas. So that is what Ms Gupta was writing so keenly all along. And here he was thinking of giving her a Christmas time raise! Arnav Singh Raizada walked up the spiral staircase, the piece of paper crumpled in his hand.
"If Ms Gupta comes, tell her to come up to my room." He ordered Lavanya, as the entire office watched, frozen.
"Immediately." He curtly ended as she continued to nod vigorously, her mind a whirlwind of What-has-Khushi-done-now thoughts.

A/N- *waves* Yes I am still alive to whoever remembers me :') Randomest stuff EVER. Just felt like it, a late Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you allđ
