Sammy: (Was shocked, would be an understatement) Are you serious?
Haider: Relax Sammy… And proceed with the paper works… We don’t want any junk in our office…
Sammy: (Nodded her head and was about to leave)
Anuj: You can fire us just like that… We’re one of the senior most employees of this office…
Shiv: We can do many things Mr. Rathore…
Arjun: But the point is you’ll not be there to see that… (Turning towards Sammy) Ms. Samaira, I want the termination letters of these two today… So please…
Sammy: (Came out of her trance, nodded and rushed out)
Narain: Let me see how you’ll run this media house after pushing us out…
Om: You’ll see us running our media house successfully.
Anuj: Don’t be in a trance Mister… You guys are going to fall literally…
Neil: Thanks Mr. Anuj… And you too Mr. Narain… There is the way out…
Arjun: Let me make one thing very clear to every single individual here, you can walk out if you cannot follow our commands… We have enough capable resources to get the work done…
Shiv: Haider, get the new contract papers ready for every single employee and get it signed with the help of Human Resource folks…
Haider: (Showed him thumps up)
Neil: Om… Yaar… Come with me… We have to design the office and formats too…
Neil, Om and Haider walked out of the meeting room.
Shiv: Now what are you thinking Arjun?
Arjun: Just that how many more hutch dogs of Nandhini Pandey is been planted here in this office…
Shiv: You have a point… We have to find them soon and keep us and our media house safe… We can’t take a chance to lose once again…
Arjun: We won’t Shiv… At least not until I’m alive…
Shiv: (Placed his hand on Arjun’s shoulder) Not until we’re alive… (With a smile)
Arjun: (Reciprocated the smile) Hmmm…
Arjun: Come let’s go… Need to check on the employees…
Shiv: Yeah… Sure…
And both walked out of the room.

Arjun and Shivaay were working together on past records of the employees. They were trying to plot out the odd ones. Haider walked into the cabin.
Haider: Guys… Formalities are in progress… Resources are happy with the contract and as of now, no complains…
Arjun: Good… Here have a look at these CDs…
Haider: CCTV footages?
Shiv: Yes… Past five years CDs are there…
Arjun: First check on to the last six months footage… Maybe that helps us better now…
Haider: (Took the laptop and started watching the CDs) He checked every single point and noted down the points from his observations.
Neil and Om walked in.
Neil: Guys what was that lady doing in front of the cabin?
Shiv: Which lady?
Om: Just now we saw a lady out… Before we could reach her, she was gone…
Meantime Sammy walked in.
Sammy: Sir… Termination letters are been provided to Mr. Anuj and Mr. Narain… And they had left the office premises…
Arjun: Good… Ms. Samaira, who is this lady? (And showed her the CCTV footage of few minutes back in front of their cabin.
Sammy: Anika…
Om: Good that you know her… I thought she is some spy… Is she one?
Sammy: Absolutely no… I’m sorry sir… She is one innocent soul…
Shiv: Good for her then… But what was she doing here?
Sammy: She is our Canteen In charge… She must be here for the complaints that she has been raising to Nandhini Mam since a long time… Maybe right from her joining day…
Shiv: What is the issue?
Sammy: Nandhini Mam wasn’t spending enough for hygiene food… She was been rising the same complain as it was injurious for our health.
Arjun: How long it had been?
Sammy: It had been three years and seven months, I’m witnessing this issue… For Anika, it had been four and half months and she is been complaining since then…
The guys shared a look and walked out of the cabin, with Sammy behind them.
Scene – 9:
Girl 1: Anika Di…
Anika: Yes…
Girl 2: Di… It is not happening… We aren’t able to even have this sandwich…
Anika: What happened?
Girl 1: Check by yourself…
Anika: (She smelled, and it was stinking. It was in fact rotten) Sorry dear… Didn’t know how it got… (She didn’t complete her sentence) You please give me few minutes, I’ll be back with fresh ones…
Girl 1: Di… But I’m too hungry… I had been working continuously since yesterday… I’m drained out completely…
Anika: One sec… Here have this… I can do only this much for you… Please share among yourself… I’ll be back…
Girl 2: Thank you di…
Anika: (Think) this is not happening… I should do something…
She found a server taking some sandwich, juice and some snacks for the Head of Food and Hygiene Department.
She smirked. She stopped the server, replaced the sandwich and asked the server to serve the same. He obliged on her insistence.
After few minutes, the person came out of the room and started yelling.
Man: You idiot how dare you serve me the rotten food…?
Anika: With the same dare as of yours… You served the rotted food to the staffs here and I served them to you…
Man: How dare you speak to me like that? I’ll show you your place now… You’re fired…
Anika: Arre… What will you fire me from this job…? I’ll walk out of this place by myself… Even my chameli won’t have any respect towards a junkyard like this office canteen and you… Donkey…
Sammy chuckled…
Neil: Chameli? (And scratched his head)
Sammy: Her slippers…
Shiv: What?
Sammy: Yes… She has the habit of naming all her dear ones… No matter living or object…
All chuckled except Shivaay, even Arjun had a smile.
Before she could walk out, she was stopped by the five men.
Sammy: Ani… Our new bosses…
Anika: I know Sammy… I saw them when that chudail was been trembling… I just hope all turns out to be good soon here…
Sammy: Sure it will… (They shared a smile)
Anika: Nice meeting you all Sir… It is time for me to leave…
Om: Not exactly…
Haider: It is time for some action…
Anika and Sammy were puzzled.
Anika: Listen my IQ isn’t so sharp that I’ll understand the underlying meaning of your words…
Arjun: (Smiled) do you trust us?
Anika: With what I witnessed, yes I do…
Arjun: Please join us…
Anika looked at Sammy and she nodded affirmative.
They walked forward. The head of the Food and Hygiene Department was been called.
Man: (He looked at Anika) what are you doing here? I think you’re been fired…
Before Anika could reply,
Haider: Relax Sir… Are you planning to die out of breath?
Arjun: What is it Mister…?
Man: Pawan Shankar…
Arjun: Yeah… So what is the matter Mr. Pawan? Why is she been fired?
Pawan: Because she failed to follow the rules and to respect me…
Before he could complete,
Anika: Respect… And you… Even my chameli will be least bothered to respect you…
Pawan: Look at her Sir… She is like this, always in wild cat mode…
Anika: Wild Cat…? You…
Sammy: (Got hold of her) relax darling…
Anika: You’re asking me to relax… This donkey first serves everyone with decayed and unhealthy food… And above that he is calling me Wild Cat as I pointed his mistake… Today I’m not going to leave him…
Before anyone could react, Anika pushed Pawan to the floor and thrusted a decayed sandwich into his mouth and closed it tight, making him fail to spit it out. Once he swallowed the content in his mouth, she stepped back.
Anika: Now go and die out of stomach upset… (And walked out with her own tadi)
As she walked out, Neil and Haider wasn’t able to hold back their laughter and broke out into laugh. Later Om to join them. Even Arjun had a smile on his face. But Shivaay was done with her attitude and made faces.
Sammy: I’ll go and check on her…
Shiv: Make sure she doesn’t leave the office premises without our concern…
Sammy: Yes Sir… (And walked out)
Neil: She is a warrior…
Haider: Absolutely… (And shared an hi-fi)
Shiv: Not so funny guys…
Om: He deserves it Shivaay…
Shiv: Not you too Om…
Om just smiled.
Arjun: (Placed his hand on his shoulder and slightly patted asking him to control) He’ll be fine… Even she wasn’t completely wrong… It was their negligence she reacted in such a way…
Shivaay calmed down listening to Arjun.
Lots of love,
Anci
