Hi friends… This is Anci once again with the next part… Hope you like it…
And thank you so much for all your lovely comments… Good or bad please keep commenting…
And please do let me know if the story is boring, I’ll try make it interesting…
Let’s start with the next part…
Arjun: (Turned towards Pawan) I don’t want to see you even around the office premises… Am I clear? (With a stern and cold voice, which made Pawan shiver)
Then the five men walked towards their cabin.
Scene – 10:
Sammy’s desk,
Sammy: Ani relax… Don’t take stress dear…
Anika: How won’t I? You know right how important this job is for me… I don’t understand what got into my head and showed so much tadi to that donkey…
Sammy was rubbing her hands. Anika’s eyes were filled with tears.
Sammy: Ani look at me… (She cupped her face and made her look at her) It wasn’t your mistake… And trust me, even if you’re going to be sent out, there won’t be any problem… What is the use of our friendship then…? Hmmm…?
Anika: No Sammy… Whatever may be the problem, I can’t take your help…
Sammy: Why?
Anika: Because I’m left out with zero strength to lose one more relationship… (She was complete in her own trance)
Sammy: Ani… Is everything fine?
Anika: (Coming back from her trance, she nodded affirmative)
Sammy understood there is some underlying meaning in her every single word, but decided to let it go as of now.
All the five men were listening to their conversation. Arjun walked towards them, followed by Neil, Haider, Om and finally Shivaay.
Arjun: Ms. Anika…
Anika: Ji…
Arjun: I think it’s your duty time and what are you doing here? You must be in cafeteria right?
Anika: (Was numb) Ji…? Did you by any means asked me to get back to work or am I out of mind, I mean dreaming?
This lead to a round of laughter and this made Anika realize her stupidity.
Anika: Sorry… I’m getting back to work…
She walked passing them. Suddenly something strike her and turned back.
Anika: One minute… I’m not going back… Not at least until that donkey resides here…
Neil: (Controlling his laughter) Ms. Anika, don’t you worry… Mr. Donkey is been chased out and you can work in peace here…
Realizing what she heard, she jumped in joy and said.
Anika: Cool… But still there is a problem…
Shiv: (Irritated) and what is that Ms…?
Anika: Anika… And the problem is we need to purchase every single item… I can’t take a risk using the stocked groceries… God knows how long it is been stocked…
Om: Fine… Just make a list… I’ll help you to get them soon…
Anika: Thank you… I’ll right away work on it…
She turned towards Sammy, signed her and left. Sammy was full of smile.
Shiv: Ms. Khanna, I think you aren’t paid for being a statue…
Sammy: Sorry Sir… (And walked off)
Neil: (Banged his hand on the head) Do you have any problem with beautiful ladies? Seriously you’re impossible…
Haider and Om chuckled. Shivaay made an irritated face. Arjun just signed at his impossible nature.
Arjun walked off followed by Shivaay.
Neil: Trust me, he really has some mental problem (pointing his fore-finger on his head).
Haider: What happened brother, seems like some light is glowing around your head with some background music…
Om: That too with high intensity…
Neil made some faces and walked off.
Haider: He isn’t normal…
Om: Yup… Changes are happening… And for good…
Haider: Hmmm… Ishq is happening…
They turned back hearing,
Voice: Ishq…? And whom?
Haider: Who else Radzie? You…
Radzie: Very funny… It is a two decades old story… Now come on be a good boy and speak…
Before anyone could speak a word.
Radzie: One sec… Don’t tell me, you and Ishq? Haider, seriously?
Haider: Oh come on Radzie… Ishq and me…? It is like water and oil… And it is injurious too…
Om: (Sighed at his impossible nature)
Radzie: Then? Omi?
Om: Oh come on… I falling for someone is not just difficult, it is impossible too…
Radhika just rolled her eyes.
Radzie: Fine… So whom were you guys talking about? (With a horrified face) Please don’t tell it is Arjun…
Haider and Om: (Laughed and pulled her cheeks from either sides.) So cute…
Haider: Don’t worry your lover boy is not that lucky…
Radzie: (Punched his stomach)
Haider: Ouch…
Om: Cool down lady… (And rubbed her shoulder, side hugging her)
After a pause,
Radzie: Then who? Shiv…?
Haider: Oh come on Radzie… Stone Singh Oberoi’s walls are safe and strong…
Om: (Sighed) I just hope it breaks down soon…
Radzie: (Comforted him by hugging and rubbed his back.) It will… Chill…
Radzie: Then who were you guys talking about? (Scratching her head)
Om: Your brother…
Radzie: (Got a 440 volts shock) Nikki…? And Ishq…? Deadly combination… And who is the killer?
Haider: (Pointed towards someone)
Radzie: Sammy…
Haider and Om: Nodded their heads affirmative.
Radzie: God please safeguard them and make my brothers feelings grow and let her feel the same for him… (Made a small prayer)
Scene – 11:
Director’s Cabin,
Arjun: It is to be taken care…
Shiv: Hmmm… We’ll work on it… And where are these two…
Neil: No doubt… Must be making fun of me…
Shiv: Why? What did you do now?
Neil: (Made some faces)
Shiv: (To Arjun) now what happened to this idiot?
Arjun: (Smiled) let it be… He will be fine soon…
The door was opened and the trio (Haider, Om and Radhika) entered.
Arjun: (To himself) not again…
Radzie: (Got his mind voice and glared at him)
Neil: Oh madam… Don’t burn him with your stare…
Haider: (Gave him a hi-fi) Yup… We really need him…
Radzie: (Made an irritated face) Shiv…
Shiv: Hmmm…?
Radzie: Shiv… (With anger)
Shiv: Yes darling… Tell me…
Radzie: I’m hungry…
Shiv: What do you want? I’ll get it for you… (Still reading the file)
Radzie: (Pulled the file) NO… I want your hand made food…
Shiv: Darling, it is office…
Radzie: So…?
Shiv: (Accepted his loss and stood up from his seat) Come Madam…
Radzie: (Gave him a cheeky smile and pulled his cheeks) so cute…
Shiv: (Rolled his eyes and dragged her along with him)
Arjun: (Think) this girl will never change… (And smiled an unknown one)
Scene – 12:
Cafeteria,
Anika was busy preparing the list and cleaning the whole cafeteria with her team. Shiv and Radhika walked in.
Shiv: (Knocked on the table placed in front of Anika)
Anika: Ji… You need something?
Shiv: Yeah… Miss…?
Anika: Anika… And exactly how many more times should I tell you?
Shiv: (Irritated) Anika…? What…?
Anika: Anika…
Shiv: Don’t you have a surname? While telling your name do tell your surname Miss…
Anika: Not that all carry their surname… Especially I don’t need one to lead my life as you do SIR… (With complete tadi)
Radzie: (Was shocked will be an understatement) (Thought) who is this lady? She is too daring to back answer Shiv that to with full on attitude…
Radzie silently messaged the rest four the same.
Arjun: (Left out a sigh)
Neil: (Banged his head)
Haider: (Burst into laugh)
Om: (Shocked)
The four looked at each other and smiled.
Arjun: Let’s go guys before something grave happens…
All the four walked out.
Back to Cafeteria,
Shiv: How dare you show me your attitude?
Anika: Tadi dikhaana aapka problem hai… Meri nai…
Shiv: What the yuck…? Now what is this ta… ta…?
Anika: Tadi…? Jo aap dikha rahe hain na wahi…
Shiv: You…
Anika: (With full tadi) yes me…
Shiv: Talking to you is useless… And you’re more useless…
Anika: Useless hogi aapka tadi… Bilkul bekaar… Kanji ankhon wala bagad billa…
The guys who came there heard the new name given by Anika and was stunned. Radhika was near to faint.
Shiv: (Was boiling in anger)
Sammy: (From nowhere she came running and pulled Anika towards her.) What are you doing darling? Shaant ho ja meri ma…
Anika: It is not my fault… He… Bagad Billa… He called me useless… Tumhe pata hain na mere lie meri self-respect bahut important hai… Aur mai kisee ke nahi sunthi jab bath meri self-respect ki ho…
Sammy: Haan baba… Shaanth ho ja… Please… For me dear…
Anika: (Was breathing hard, and later composed herself)
Sammy: (She turned to find Shivaay behaving like a hurt lion ready to pounce at any time)
Sammy and Radhika shared an eye talk.
Shiv: (His eyes weren’t moving away from Anika)
Anika: (She was least bothered about what is happening)
Sammy: (Saw the rest four standing like pillars and rushed to them) Sir please do something…
Neil: Are you mad? No one dares to step into lion’s den… Especially when it is hell hungry…
Sammy: (Made an innocent face not knowing what to do)
Om: Let me handle…
Haider: Please do come back in single piece only…
Neil and Haider shared a hi-fi.
Om hit both on their heads from behind and walked forward.
Lots of love,
Anci
