“you know my secretory is very irritating and annoying,she don’t know how to behave with her boss.i wanted to teach her some manners…i will pour this on her head.i just hope,this will prove affecting on her”sansakar said and start opening the jar.
“on head?..”swara thought,gulped in fear and quickly keeps hand on jar’s lid,stopping him from opening and tries to snatch it back.
“you will not do anything like that sanskar…i am afraid from insects,especially cocroaches”swara said and glares at him.
“i am not throwing it on your head,you do everything which i saw,just like you bringing this…its just my secratory is very irritating.”sanskar said while smiling and snatches jar completely.
“that’s not funny…’swara said cryingly and in process of snatching,jar falls down with bang and breaks,freeing the insects.
“mama!…”swara screamed seeing the flying insects,flying upward and others dispersing on floor.she quickly hides her face in his chest,afraid from flying insects.sanskar’s muscles tensed up in a second,feeling her softness.
“something is creeping on my feet…”swara said in scared tone, feeling that she will get heart attack any time.sanskar shakes his head,breaks hug<picks her up in arms and make her sit on table.
“is it cocroach?..”swara said while looking at him with pale face.
“you are afraid from such small insects…”sanskar chuckled and removes cocroache from her foot with his hand.swara noddes vigorously and quickly moves her legs up and looks down with wide eyes.
“all is your mistake…i will not step down until floor is not cleared.get this floor clear as soon as possible”swara said in ordering tone.

“affect of your bad company…now do something.”swara glares at him.sanskar picks up phone and calls peon.
“can i ask why you did this stupid act?..”
“i never saw you laughing..i just wanted you to laugh.”swara said as she was still looking at insects on floor.sanskar skipped his several heart beats while starring at her angelic face.
