" Teach you what?" Question of the decade!

"The work you love!" He smiled and gave me a look am I really serious about what i am saying?. I groaned flustered and he laughing a little, said the exact words next.

"Your sickness seems to affect you a lot, I guess?" He knows it? I looked at him confused.

"Madan texted us all that whoever going to be here at one in afternoon with you, to give the drink you love!" He said and the exact moment we heard a knock on the door with Madan, umar, sheela, Paul and gowtham uncle coming inside with the glass in their hand.

Guess to whom Madan passed the glass when I didn't take? Advith!

"Have it, Sarah!" He said as he gave me.

"I don't remember asking you any drink and I also don't remember punishing to give me kashyam!" I said sulking a little.

" we don't want you to fall sick!" You don't want? I looked at advith and his eyes meant want he said and he seem to be serious about it too.  I looked around and glared at Madan for cornering me as everyone already surrounded my way out. He just smiled at me back.

"Cheers!" I said as I took the glass and gulped it down and placed the glass in the sidetable. Gowtham uncle gave me a sweet and I hugged him for being my saviour at least now. And had the chocolate, not giving anyone teasing everyone.

"That's advith chocolate!" Gowtham uncle said as I am halfway through the chocolate and advith gave him a look over.

"You stole from my frigde!" He asked and gowtham uncle shrugged his shoulder. Still the silent treatment? How I didn't remembered it's his favourite too?

"Don't cry baby!" I said as I took the chocolate towards his mouth, even though he looked quizzically at first, as I was keeping the chocolate longer than needed before his mouth, he opened his mouth.

"So sad! It's mine now!" I said as I pulled away from him and took a bite. He glared at me.

"You didn't just do that?" He asked and I just shrugged I did as I took another bite. He looked at Sheela and she smiled at him.

In two minutes, she brought unlimited chocolates out from the fridge and gave to advith, who passed to Madan, Umar and Sheela. Note to the point they didn't gave to uncle nor Paul As they are on my team. I am keeping my last bite of chocolate as I can, even though I tempted to have it, just to take the last bite after them. They already had two chocolate bars just before my eyes and their teasing are going out of way right now. As my last bite of chocolate is melting or melted in my hands. I looked at gowtham uncle to help me and he ruffled my hair, smiled at him.

"Though I like to continue chatting. I have a lunch meeting to attend. Madan, You are coming with me!" Uncle said and I hugged him. Umar, advith, sheela snickered getting uncle is supporting me as Madan groaned little.

"It's not fair sir!" Madan said and uncle just smiled at him.

"I will treat you well, meeting is at Exciflav!" Exciflav is famous seven start hotel and its restaurant uniqueness is the flavours will be mixed to give you different feel of excitement in a good way to heaven. Madan nodded at the excitement , left with uncle and Paul, saying he will deal with me later.

Later Advith asked Umar to check something, he left and sheela excused herself out as if it's wrong to stand here without any work informing that the time for his next meeting he has with some people at the downstairs.

"Learn not to tease, if you are not sure about your opponent! It can backfire you anytime." Advith said as he placed his two chocolate bars he had in hand near me. I raised my brows at him.

"First lessson in business! Never underestimate the other person!" I smiled at him as where he is going and I nodded at him, Getting where he went! He smiled at me.

"Thanks!" I said as I took the a chocolate and gave to him. He raised his brows at me.

" for sharing a knowledge!" He took it returning a smile to me.

" go and have real food, Sarah!" he said as I was about to pull open the second chocolate cover. I looked at him. " enough of chocolates, I think for now!" He said and I nodded at him smiling at him.
I was about to get up to go to eat.

"Come let's go have lunch!" I said and he smiled at me.

"Sorry! Having lunch meeting today." He said as he took a look at his watch. I looked at him for a second and nodded at him, scolding myself for getting bun. Can't he take me with him? saying it's training and all! Just Like gowtham uncle took madan with him. Stupid Advith! That's why I should have maintained the distance, I always maintain. Yes! Maintain the distance like always sarah! I said myself and started to go out. I was at the door.

"Can I keep the offer for some other time?" Is he asking or saying? I turned to look at him and to see he is looking at me with look he himself assessing for something.

"Sure, Some other time then!" I said smiling a little and before I leave, I saw him smile a little too.

As if he waited for me to go out of the room, Advith left the place to whatever meeting he got to go and he didn't returned at all. Later, while I was having lunch with sheela I learned as to what hotel and meeting that he went that he didn't had heart to tag me with him. I thought he was going with narmadha as she called once when everyone were teasing me with chocolates, eying uncle. He kept the call saying one word answers that I really wouldn't understand the conversation. But, it seems he went really to a business meeting, but since it is with two of his friend, it was happening in a bar. So, he surely wouldn't drag me. If zayan comes to know then it's another hell for him. He can't even explain that it was business or anything.

By evening, I escaped before four without getting caught by any just to escape the kashyam. But, when I landed at home by six, viji ma was standing with the glass to welcome me. I gulped it down. And even when I tried to escape the night dose, she woke me up from my sleep and gave me. Her words to remember the kashyam before playing in rain, next time.

I woke and we all went to madan home for this weekend. My kashyam punishment is still continuing. We were fooling around a little playing something or other, while we or they were sharing the tortures they experienced. I kept hearing it and laughing here and there with zayan at them.

"Man! I really feel jealousy with you sarah!" Shruti finished after she said how zayan is making her cry.

"Atlest you don't see her enjoy like me! It burns like hell!" Madan said rubbing his stomach as if he is trying to calm it. Making everyone laugh at me.

"What would you do all day without working, everyday sarah?" Imran asked as if he is really interested in it.

"She comes to say good morning to everyone of us and demand us say a good morning back with smile, even if we all have tons of work. And then she will make some comments she thinks witty with us.

After sometime, she will have herself a tour with Vidal. man! She has lot of fans in Vidal. Even I am one among it as I envy to be as carefree as her. 

Then, will have lunch with someone who she can find free that time to give her company.

All these I would accept, the only think I or all of us in Vidal hate is, what she does after having lunch!" Madan said and now everyone looked at him as I thrown a pillow at him.

"What does she do?"

"I was bored!"

" don't you dare say it! Kritick even lost his cool act even though he is a great actor, when he saw you sleeping there in the couch. He was about to put some sense in your mind. If it wasn't for Advith to drag him out. I am sure as hell he would have woke you up and demanded you to do some work."

"You have time to sleep?" That was a chorus question if you ask me from ranvir, Imran and shruti. My silence and looking down the floor could have answered them.

"I so hate you so much mentor Mr. Zayan Ghazi" shruti said whining a little.

" I haven't finished guys! guess where and how she sleeps?" Madan said shruti as if she has much to hate.

"I have a feeble heart!" Shruti said making us all laugh.

"Don't you laugh, young lady!"

"Anyplace she like or she got bored is the place she sleep! More than all, she expects us to switch of the light as it's disturbing her sleep. She even once slept in Gowtham sir room and he had to change his place to work that her sleep won't be disturbed. Not even waking up as I tried to get her up, not getting how it looked.

Imagine how it would feel as you enter a working floor and you see all the lights switched off just so she can sleep!" Madan accused pointing a finger at me.

"Sarah! Is what madan said is what you are doing all these days?" Viren uncle asked as he looked at me to not lie and I saw all the uncle and aunties are looking at me with same expressing.

When did they returned from their little walk? I glared at madan, who himself mutter sorry as he was not aware of their presence just like me. It's not that they don't know I am fooling around. But, to the extent of sleeping must have them triggered. As they always say me indirectly to work and learn more as whenever they ask how work is going I would say fine and those smallest of small works I do, I or madan will say them to keep them happy.

"Uncle,...." madan opened his mouth and shut it back as he raised his hand up.

"I am sorry!" They all sighed.

"Now I get, why Advith don't want to teach you! How could he teach you when all you do is treating his work place as a resort? Oh my god!" Viren uncle said as if he can't believe he has been this much ignorant.

"I don't really able to digest the fact you sleep in the work place? Sarah! Have you ever thought from the position of how the people who work there feel when you are asking them to switch of the light so you can sleep?" Imran' father Nabibukhsh ghazi/ Nabib said as if he is feeling himself shamed at him.

"Sarah! In your blues of blahs, disillusioned everyone, Congratulations!
And Madan! You too shot us down! You let her act her that way? And you still call yourself her friend?" Madan's father Dhruvan Dixit/ dhruv said sarcastically. And I can sense madan eyes tearing Up.... Oh no! Please no.

"Uncle, He always scold me to work and he even ..." I started and I was cut by uncle.

"I am in no mood to hear your explanations sarah! What you all did is wrong. If not like madan, you guys know she is putting tantrums and no one dared to stop her.

And you call all yourself bestfriends? Is that what we thought you all from our friendship? You guys made us doubt our friendship itself! Oh my god! I can't really believe what we just spoke out as how proud you guys are being good friends and now without tantrums helping each other to cope this training period even though it will be torture. And still maintaining friendship." Dhruv uncle said with every word disappoint was clear on me or us. As everyone looked down and I would see what I made everyone to feel.

"Uncle! It's not really their fault! Advith is one who is not taking the mentor job seriously. What will she do? when he never says or give her something to do or learn! I will speak with him uncle.
Even if madan gives her something, he says to give him....." zayan bhai started to defend us.

"Why do you think we cut your curfew if it's for business? He said being businessperson, is not part time job or full time job but It's a lifestyle. You think he isn't putting effort to train her?" Ranvir's father Premanand verma/  Prem uncle said.

"That because he was punished by her as she Has to stay for a meeting..." before he can finish. I now know I am finished.

"Punished by her? Sarah! What is he saying?" Viji ma asked and I looked down. I hear zayan himself gasping as what he said.

"Zayan! You were there when she was punishing him?" Imran's mom Raiza asked confusedly.

"That's because Mr. Janarthanan reddy made her punish him as he..." he was again cut by his father as I know now nothing will be helped.

"I don't know whether where the problem is actually? Is it in you guys or in our brought ups!" Nabib uncle said as he sat in the sofa disappointed. Glaring at us all their parents went towards him to cool.

I looked to see my friends cry in silence and even zayan bhai eyes were teared up. I tried to do something and here something is happening. I looked at other side to hear actually they have thought we were working good as he each one saying all the praises they heard from different person and then it will be ended with how they were blinded how stupid we were acting. Of course! There were no praise about me that they exchanged.
At every disappoint of us, the one pointed will try to ask sorry or explain.
But, they will cut us. Madan had worst! And equally zayan! I was unexplainably avoided.
