The sun rays entered through the prisha's office. She is constantly tapping on the hard wooden desk and sitting on the chair with her legs folded, comfortably lying on the desk.
No one can say that she's a boss.
But she needs a little relaxation.
It's been hectic for prish. She's been on constantly working and her shift hours were doubled after Ishan's case.

She's been to the Narcotics department and found out about
Rohypnol and meeting Mr Mehta convincing him about everything, to reaching the Ambani villa and discovering the truth.

Currently, she is making notes of all these things.
Setting all the events in chronological order and marking the important points that she has to present in the high court tomorrow.

She called out for Riya, it's been 5 minutes and Riya hasn't entered Into Prisha's office.
Prisha can't blame Riya, for the past 3 days she's been handling the firm and providing each and every detail about work to Prisha but Pri was too consumed in her work that she didn't pay any attention to her
Messages.

Riya entered with a stack of files that covered her face. She gave a kick to the door to open it and kicked it back after she came a little further, the door slowly swung back closed.

Prisha was about to scold Riya for this unprofessional behavior but then she realized her sitting structure. She sighed at her own antics and sat straight.
Riya put that stack of files on Prisha's table, the movement made a little thud.
Riya stood in front of Prisha who was giving her a questioning look.
" What is this? "

" Files you dumbo". Riya said in an obvious tone.

" This is the first place where a client calls their boss dumbo. "
She motioned Riya to seat.

" But you said, ' Call me whatever you want but not with formal names' See indeed you are a dumbo"
Riya who was now blocking Prisha sat down at the opposite chair of Pri and started with her work without wasting any more time.

" Look, File No. 1 it's about a couple who wants a divorce. They don't have any kids but as a civil lawyer Mr Gaikwad tried to convince them through eight meetings, but nothing is working. They are firm over divorce " Prisha examined the file which had information related to couples and some legal paperwork. She doesn't have time to read through all the reasons for their divorce decision so she asked Riya.

" They had an argument about land. Land of the village. It's some family pact or something I don't know about but Mr Gaikwad does. They want to claim their ancestral lands but the wife's family is against it and something like that"

" Tell Mr Gaikwad to inform me in detail about this one after you are done " Riya nodded her head in response.

She slightly threw another file to Prisha,

" This one is about that old man whose daughter kicked him out after marrying a man. But she is asking for the property of her father and her father won't give her any"

Smart dad.

" So what happened further? " Asked Prisha.

" The father has filed a case of emotional blackmails and threatening calls received from the daughter and her husband"

Prisha was deep in her thoughts this reminded her of her family's condition, tho it wasn't as similar as this old man's condition is, they were far from different yet felt very similar and relatable.

" Is Mrs. Tambe free? "

" Yeah, "

" Give this case to her hands. I am sure she'll handle it well but ask her first. Don't just say I ordered, she also has two kids to look after and a husband and in-laws ok? "

" God prisha, they are here to work. They earn because they work. It's not our situation to deal with. It's her who has to look at it. Come on You give them work, and they work" Riya said in an annoyed tone throwing another file at Prisha's face.

" Girl, it's not about working and earning. I don't want to be that boss who's hated by everyone. Tho I do hear people talking stuff about me like ' she's so selfish'
' she only cares about her company and not us'
And much more. When reality is far from that. Today's generation doesn't want to work!
You give them a little overwork see how frustrated they get and then they expect big rewards and increments"

There was a silent pause, and Prisha continued,

" You know I do care about my co-workers and they are older than the me, I am too young to handle all these. This big firm, this complicated cases, public image, finance and revolving fame"

" I would have been nothing if all these people weren't here. They matter to me they don't realize it.
I care for them, they don't realize it. Maybe I have a bad way of showing it but remember Riya working is not all about earning money, there should be respect too. And I Respect each and every one.

" Remember when you were desperate to get a job, there was this thing called ' Desperation' now I rarely find it in interns.
Everyone can fake determination, not desperation "

Riya felt ashamed of doubting Prisha's perspective. She is a high-class lady with high standards but she's too down to hurt and there is humbleness and a fun child hiding in her. She has never shown it to anyone. She says very less, here her words matter more than action. And she can be insulting at times while fighting a case, but that's human nature, right? People tend to do it in frustration especially when you are the Prisha Rao it's not easy to maintain calmness in such a daunting environment but the young girl has proved her worth in managing it all.

What shocked Riya was that Prisha knew all those rumours circulated about her. All those gossips about the boss in the firm and how their new interns created a bad image of her already without knowing her. Plus she doubted Prisha in an obvious tone as if it was ok.
Riya quickly and genuinely apologized for her words, but Prisha being Prisha just smiled and forgive her.

For about an hour they were still going through files and cases the lawgical alliance got. She called several lawyers and advocates to her office and handled them their tasks.
After getting through the files, it was time to look at everyone's work and performance. In short their working stats. Some people were deeply dedicated to their work, some were just in their chill mode, and some were stressed over the cases to which Prisha gladly listened and helped them with solutions.
Then it was time to handle the financial status of everyone. Making checks of all co-workers to staff workers to Gangu Tai and her team for cleaners to Sacche Chacha and his security.
To canteen wali aunty Geeta, Geeta ka tikkha - meetha khaana. Well, that's what she says. And it is an office joke for everyone.

She told Riya to distribute this
By the 30th, because on the 28th she'll be gone to give first hearings, and on the 29th she will deal with the old man's case with Mrs. Tambe.
So. the 30th is the end of the month and also the perfect time when she'll be present to sign those cheques.

This exhausting day was already over. Everyone was assigned to their work for the new upcoming month of July and they have to be started gathering pre-knowledge and background of their work within these couple of days.

People started leaving one by one, talking about random stuff and a few of them were happy because the day was already over.
The office closes at 6 pm and opens at 10. It's not even 9 to 5 still it is 9 to 5.

Leaving at 6 PM gives ample time to workers to spend with their families and they say Prisha is not a good boss.
They will never find a boss like Prisha who's so arranged and chill and cares about their workers. Wished they realize this earlier.

Riya was also packing up her bag in her office, Prisha knocked on the door and entered.

" Hey, I wanna talk to you about something "
She said to Riya who was about to leave.

" Ohh yes sure " They both made their way out of the office corridor.

"It's about Ishan"
She said as they came to the first floor.

" Prisha I can't read your mind, tell me what is it clearly? Is Ishan at fault? Did he actually rape Aditi? Are all the accusations true? Are you nervous? What's wrong girl "
She said shaking lightly Prisha by her shoulders.

" Nahh Ree, you getting it all wrong " They were already out of the office and Riya didn't have to do a pre-check of the firm because she already did it once.

She locked the office and they bid their byes to Sacche Chacha who has saath bacches. Yes, this is also an office joke. Sacche Chacha has 7 kids two of them are pursuing studies in Mumbai rest of his whole family stays in his village.

" Then what is it bestie? " Riya got concerned about Pri.

They were walking on the footpath to God knows where.

" It's about me and Ishan"
