Krish called Shravani to his cabin and he seemed angry also.

Shravani," Yes sir!"

Krish lifts his hand and pointed at window at his left and asked while grinding his teeth," What is she doing here?"

Shravani looked out and saw Shivi.

Shravani," Mujhe nahi pata."

Krish said calmly," Maine bola tha na ye mere office ke aas paas bhi nahi dikhni chahiye!"

Shravani nodded.

Krish shouted angrily," To phir ye yaha kya kar rahi hai?😠"

She shivered and said quickly," Mujhe nahi pata."

Krish," Maine tumhe responsibility di thi na isse yaha na aane dene ki, tumne isse bola nahi tha yaha naa aaye?"

Shravani," Main..main..."

Krish strictly," What? Speak!"

Shravani closed her eyes and stepped back a little," Main kaise bolti isse yaha na aaye? Meri friend hai ye."

Krish," Ye friend hai to main kon hu? Main to koi nahi hu. Meri baat ki value nahi hai na?"

She nodded in no," Ai..aise nahi hai."

Krish," To? Ek baat apne mind mein clear kar lo. Meri har baat ke peeche reason hota hai. Main kuch bhi aise hi nahi bolta."

Shravani," Usse kuch kaam hoga. "

Krish," Kuch urgent ho to koi baat nahi but iss time kuch urgent nahi tha and before you ask how can I say this, let me tell you kuch bhi urgency hoti hai to insan jitni jaldi ho sake utni jaldi contact karta hai. Aur aaj kal mobile phone se fast kya hoga?"

Shravani," Par"

Krish," Is your mobile on silent mode? (She nodded in no.) No, okay then did you received any call? (She nodded in no.)
So? (She didn't said anything.)

I am not saying anything this time but next time aise nahi hona chaiye.

Ye office hai. Yaha serious work hota hai. Aise hi meeting place nahi hai. Aise aake visit nahi kar sakte unless it's something urgent. It's against protocol."

He saw her face and noticed her scared and sad.

Krish," Now go and change your face expressions. Jo important tha vo bolna zaruri tha mera. Main kabhi kuch bolu to usse dil pe lagane ki jagah mind mein rakha karo kyu bola hai? Aage ke liye important point yaad rakho, jisse galti repeat na ho.

You are new here. Aise hi seekhte hai sab. Main to kuch bhi nahi bolta, meri mumma ke under hoti tab pata chalta. She talks nicely and politely at home and that too with family members only but when it comes to work...
Bahut daat khai hai maine aur inn office walo ne to pata nahi kitni. Sirf papa unka gussa handle kar sakte hai.

Itni choti choti baato pe serious hogi to ho gaya yaha business aur jeeli tumne apni zindagi. Be tough..."

She went to her cabin and called Shivi inside.

Shivi," Sab thek hai na? Itna time lag gaya."

Shravani," Time lag jata hai. Sir kuch bata rahe the."

Shivi," To itni serious kyu lag rahi hai? Kya bol rahe the tere SIR?(She made a weird face while saying.)"

Shravani," Ku..kuch nahi... Tu yaha?"

Shivi,"  Jhoot mat bol babes. Tujhe jhoot bolna nahi aata and I am sorry main aise tere office aa gayi. But zaruri tha. Vo chor ye bata kya bol raha tha vo akru? Ye to saaf hai tere expressions aur tone se ke kuch to bola hai usne aur vo office ke kaam se related nahi tha."

Shravani," Kya zaruri kaam tha? Call pe bata deti. Ye office hai na to aise"

Shivi," Shravuuuuu! Upar dekh ke bol."

Shravani," Ha..."

Shivi," Mere yaha aane pe bol raha tha tujhe vo? Uski to! Apni friend se nahi mil sakti main?"

Shravani," Ye office hai. Yaha aise milna thek nahi aur unhone kuch nahi bola. Ye main bol"

Shivi interrupts," Ache se pata hai kuch nahi bahut kuch bola hai tujhe. Samj gayi main. Iske muh mein 50 mirchi ghusa dungi main.

Iski himmat kaise hui tujhe aise bolne ki? Galti meri hai. Main yaha aai hu tujhse milne. Nahi! Galti meri bhi nahi iski hi hai. Kitna kaam karwata hai ye tujhse ke time hi bachta tere paas. Kab milu aur kab baat karu? Aur sham ko ghar mein teri vo chachi hoti hai. Unke samne to ho gayi baat."

Shravani," Aise mat bol."

Shivi," To kya bolu? Time hi nahi hai tere paas mere liye. Na tu koshish karti time nikalne ki ya mere sath apni kuch bhi news share karne ki. Pichli baar bhi jab humne milne ka decide kara tha Sunday ko to tujhe office bula liya tha iss insan ne. (She don't know Krish ne nahi Behir ne bulaya tha.)

Jabse yaha join kara hai tune tab se tu baate chupane lagi hai. Tune shift karne jaisa bada decision apne aap le liya, vo bhi bina bataye to kaise kuch na bolu? Kaha kar rahi hai shift? Achanak se kyu? Inn logo ko pata hai iss sabke bare mein aur mujhe nahi. How can you? Main teri friend hu."

Shravani said lowly," Main batane"

Shivi interrupted," Kuch nahi! Kuch mat bol. Mujhe pata hai na batati mujhe agar mujhe aise dusre logo se pata na chalta to. Kaha ho rahi hai shift ye bata? Konsi jagah hai? Kaise log hai? Kitna rent hai? I want to see the place aur mujhe sahi laga to hi tu vaha shift karegi warna nahi. Bahut ho gaya tera ab."

Shravani was on verge of crying. Call came on her intercom. It was Krish.

He said," Corridor wale rest room mein aao."

She said," Par vo to"

Krish," No one's there."

Sharavni," Aapko kaise pata?"

Krish," Vo choro... Jaldi aao... Dhyan rakhna koi na dekhe."

Shravani," Konse wale?"

Krish," Ladies! Vo pahle aata hai."

She said okay to Krish and saw him walking out from his cabin. Then she told Shivi that she has been called for some work and will be back soon.

Before Krish could enter one woman entered the washroom. Shravani stopped at her place. Krish signalled her to follow him. She nodded. He went to Karan's cabin.

As she entered inside, Krish locked the door and make her stand with her back on door and put his hands on her both sides.

Karan cleared throat behind them," For your kind information main yaha kaam kar raha hu aur free mein movie dekhne ka abhi time nahi hai mere paas."

Krish turned towards Karan," To kisne bola hai movie dekho? Kaam kar apna.

I need to talk privately with her and iske cabin mein koi aake betha hua hai, uske samne baat nahi ho sakti."

Karan," Then continue... Main bech bech mein movie dekhta rahuga, ignore me. I am not sitting here."

Krish," Keep you mouth shut."

Karan," It's zipped."

Krish to Shravani," Vo larki mere ghar nahi aayegi."

Shravani," Aapke ghar? "

Krish," Vo bol rahi thi na abhi ki usko dekhna hai kaha shift ho rahi ho tum? I don't want her in my house."

Karan," Ohh to finally shift ho rahe ho sath mein. Good! Congratulations!"

Shravani was shocked that's why she didn't replied Karan and Krish ignored him.

Shravani," Aa..aapko kaise pata vo dekhna chahti hai?"

He pointed at his ear and she saw one earpod in his left ear and she showed his phone to her. It had live video of her cabin going on where Shivi was doing something on her phone while waiting.

Shravani," Haww ye!"

Krish," Ssshhh! Secret hai! Kisi ko mat batana. Pure office mein cameras hai with microphone, for safety purpose. I shouldn't have heard your and her talk but I wanted to know why she came here."

Shravani," Kisi ko nahi pata?"

Krish," Itna to sabko obvious hoga ki aise offices mein cameras hote hai par kaha kaha hai aur microphone bhi hai kuch mein, ye nahi pata kisi ko."

She looked at Karan horridly because she thought that no one knows and they are talking in front of Karan so, he will listen and know.

Karan," Don't worry bhabhi. Mujhe pahle se pata hai. 2 sal pahle change huye the purane cameras. Aur naye walo ko maine hi apne supervision mein lagwaya tha."

Krish," Ye mera purana friend hai. Hamare ghar ki zyadatar baate janta hai. Isliye main tumhe yaha laya baat karne ke liye because iske samne baat karna na karna ek barabar hai because he already knows everything."

She nodded...

Shravani," Shivi meri friend hai usko main kaise mana kar du? Kaha shift ho rahi hu vo to batana hi parega aur yaha office mein aane ko mana kar sakti hu usse because of protocols but jaha rahugi vaha nahi kar sakti. Uska mere ghar aana jana bahut purana hai."

Krish," I don't know about that. I don't like her attitude. Kaise bolti hai vo badtameezi se sabke sath. Bakiyo ka choro apni taraf behaviour dekho uska. Jab se aai hai chilla hi rahi thi tumpe. Tumhe sunaye hi jaa rahi hai. Tumhari baat nahi sunn rahi. Reason nahi janna tum aise kyu kar rahi ho? Na samajhne ki try karna ki nahi bataya to koi reason hoga.

Ab tumhe samj mein aa raha hai kya thoda thoda biwi ki mujhe tumhari friend ka yaha aana kyu nahi pasand? Ye yaha important kaam se aai thi ya tumhe bura feel karwane?

Kya kya bol rahi thi vo tumhe? Chalo mera samj mein aata hai main boss bhi hu tumhara, gussa kar deta hu. Kabhi official kaam se aur kabhi aise hi kyuki mujhe gussa thora jaldi aata hai, main koi galat cheez nahi bardash kar skata.

Hame mile huye zyada time nahi hua par ye to tumhari friend hai, ye aise kyu feel karwati hai? Chalo main tumhe nahi samajhta, tumhare emotions nahi samajhta par ye to samajhti hai. Itne saalo se janti hai tume phir bhi? Kyu down karti hai hamesha? Last time bhi jab yaha aai thi tab tumhe ye office join karne se rok rahi thi aur aaj phir rok rahi hai."

Shravani," Usse sach nahi pata. Usse meri fikar thi isliye bol rahi thi aur itne time se maine thek se baat bhi nahi kari isse. Ek to time nahi mila aur dusra kya bolti samj nahi aaya. Isse sach nahi pata hamare bare mein, kaise batau kya chal raha hai mere sath? Isse abhi sach nahi bata sakti."

Krish," Ha hum abhi kisi ko nahi bata sakte. Media tak koi galat afwah(rumour) pauch gaya to garbad ho jayegi. Let my parents handle this matter.

But ye to pata hai na tumne new job li hai aur nee place pe adjust karne mein time lagta hai. Itna nahi samajhti ki office hai aur yaha kaam karna hi padta hai. Yaha alag tarike se kaam hota hai aur jaha tum dono pahle sath mein kaam karte the as waiteress waha alag tarike se hota tha. Waha shifts hoti thi aur yaha lagatar office hours mein work hota hai aur tum meri pa ho to tumhari responsibility zyada hai.

She should know tumhare liye new hai ye sab aasan nahi hoga but ye tumhe support karne ke bajaye ulta bolti hai. Ye friend hai tumhari? Aur tum bhi chup chao sunti rehti ho. Kyu nahi bolti usse kuch? Tum hi encourage karti ho usse. Tumhari friend aisi hai kyuki tum bhi aisi hi ho, you prove her right everytime."

She could hold her anymore and finally her tears came out.

Krish," Sharavni ye!😟🤦🏻‍♂️ Don't cry..."

Karan," Ab bol raha hai don't cry. Pahle itna sunaya hi kyu? Bhabhi iski baato ko seriously mat lo ye aisa hi hai. Rudely hi bolta hai aur sabko galat samajhta hai. Isko ladkiyon se baat karna nahi aata."

Krish," Tu chup kar. Shravani tum"

Shravani," To kya karu? Ha..har..ko..koi mujhe bolta hai. Aap, Shivi aur ch..chachi. Ma..main hi ga..galt hoti hai hamesha. K..kya karu main? E..ek ko kh..khush karne ki ko..kos..koshish karti hu to..to dus..dusra gussa hota hai mere upar."

He felt bad and hold her face in his palms and wiped her tears from this fingers.

Krish," Please don't cry. Maine tumhe yaha rulane ke liye nahi bulaya tha. Maine to tumhe support karne ke liye bulaya tha. Isliye bulaya tha jisse thora acha feel karwa saku. I saw your sad expressions in your cabin and couldn't hold myself. Mujhe ye sab nahi bolna chaiye tha but kya karta nahi rok paya khud ko. I am sorry."

They hugged each other without even realising. She cried on his shoulder.

Krish patted her head," Bas Shravani bas... Aur nahi..."

After sometime she stopped crying and they came out of each other's embrace.

Krish," Ab nahi rona. Be strong."

Shravani," Nahi hu main strong. Nahi bann sakti."

Krish," Bann sakti ho bas kisi ki baat ko apne dil par mat lo aur jo tumhare mann mein hai seedha seedha bina dare bolo samne wale ko. Tum nahi bologi to samne wala apne hisab se chalane ki try karega tumhe."

She nodded.

Krish," Good! Don't cry again and say what you want to. Ab jao aur jaa ke confidently apni uss friend ko answer karo. Jo mann mein hai bolo aur usse mere ghar leke aana hai to le aana. Kuch nahi boluga main."

Shravani," Pakaa?"

Krish," Ha..."

Shravani," Mujhe to pata hi nahi aapka ghar kaha hai? Kya batau kaha shift ho rahi hu?"

Krish,"Karan message her my address."

Karan," Ok"

Krish," Usko bolo abhi nahi le ja sakti kyuki vo jagah par abhi pahle wale tenants hai. Vo next week khali karege aur tab tum shift karogi. Jab tum shift karogi tabhi dikhaogi pahle nahi."

She nodded.

Krish," Go and confidently say all this."

She went out.

Karan," Tu pagal hai? Aise kon baat karta hai apni wife se?"

Krish," Maine kya bola usse? Main to aise hi baat karta hu."

Karan," Kya nahi bola ye soch. Itna kuch to suna diya. Mahir uncle se seekh politeness kya hoti hai. Ab tere ghar shift hongi vo to tu har waqt aise hi baat karega? Roz rulayega(make her cry)?"

Krish," Nahi main kyu rulaunga usse?"

Karan," Not intensionally but tere bolne ka tarika kharab hai. Teri wife hai vo, employee nahi. Pyaar se nahi bol sakta to thora aaram se bol liya kar. Apne gharwalo se jaise baat karta hai vaise kyu nahi kar sakta?"

Krish," Okay..okay ab tu mat bol. Aage se thoda aaram se bolne ki try karunga. Thora polite rahuga."

Karan," Good! Aur baat baat pe taane nahi dega unhe."

Krish," Ye tu zyada bol raha hai. Main kabhi kisi ko taane nahi deta."

Karan," Yeah..yeah everyone knows tu nahi deta. Acha vo chor ye bata bhabhi ko apni friend ko ghar lane ke liye ha kaise kar diya tune? You didn't liked her friend right?"

Krish," Yes I don't but ghar par shravani aur main akele thodi honge. Mumma bhi hogi. She have to face my mother.😈"

Karan," Ohh!"

Krish," Mumma can't bear any nuicence. Aur mano ki Shravani ki friend samj ke kuch na bola to alag baat hai, to uske liye mera chota shaitan(Pari) hi kafi hai. Vahi thek kar degi usse. Ek baar gussa dila diya usne mumma ko ya Pari ko to phir bas.😈"

Karan," Aur gussa dilwane ke liye tu hai hi."

Krish," Right! "
