"Kahaan the tum DIPESH itni der tak?"Dipesh was asked as he entered his home well after midnight."He turned around and faced the woman who has asked him this and answered "Maa Amoli ko meri zaroorat thi toh wahin tha." "Dipesh yeh itni der raat tak tum ghar se baahar raho yeh humein pasand nahin hai." "Aap yeh kyun nahin kehtein ki aapko mera Amoli se milna pasand nahin hai?"he asked his mother."Tumne sahi kaha, mujhe nahin pasand ki tum usse milo." "Kyun maa?Jab aapko pehle aitraaz nahin tha toh ab kyun?Ab jabki use,uske parivaar ko meri itni zaroorat hai. "Kyunki tab baat alag thi aur ab alag hai Dipesh.
Baat ko smjho." "Kya samjhoon maa, mein kya samjhoon? Ab jab use mere sahare ki zaroorat hai toh aap kehtin hain ki main usse munh mod lun.Yeh pyaar nahin hai maan.Aur maine usse pyaar kiya hai aur vaada kiya hai ki uska tab tak intezaar karoonga jab tak woh chahe." "Lekin hum intezaar nahin kar sakte Dipesh,samjhe tum.Aur isiliye tum apne sar se jitni jaldi ho sake yeh pyaar ka bhoot utaar do isi mein humari aur uski bhalai hai."Saying this she stormed towards her bedroom ending the conversation then and there.
After hearing the alarm Amoli got up at exactly 6 a.m.She got up to freshen up.Today she felt as if a new chapter was about to begin in her life. Until now she the daughter of a very proud parents but now she was becoming a woman who not only had to look out for herself but for her family too.As she got out from the bathroom she went into Taani's room to wake her up and to get her ready for school.As she went inside Taani's room she saw her sleeping blissfully while hugging the photo of their father.Seeing this Amoli felt a lump forming in her throat but she controlled herself and started waking up Taani,"Taani utho subhe ke pone saat baj rahe hain,utho bachhe school ke liye taiyaar hona hai na."saying this she planted a kiss on Taani's cheek and she wriggled under her sheet.Seeing that this wont wake her up Amoli started tickling her and she got up filling the room with her sweet sound of laughter.After sending her off to the bathroom Amoli went towards the kitchen to make breakfast and to pack their lunches."Didi mere baal toh aap hi ko banane padenge".after getting out of the bathroom and wearing her school dress Taani came in front of Amoli and said.Finishing her kitchen work Amoli replied"aaja main karti hoon."Soon after finishing there breakfast and checking the bag of Taani she took her to the bus stand from where they both had to catch their buses.After making sure that Taani got on the school bus safely and wishing her good luck
Amoli waited for her bus to catch for the office for its timing were after 15 min. of Taani's school bus left.After getting on the bus she calculated the time on her watch that her journey would take and she knew that she would reach her office with 10 min. to spare.As she got down from the auto rickshaw which se had to take from the bus stand till D.V.'s office she saw the tall menacing building standing in front of her reflecting its owner's true identity.After collecting herself she entered the building and as she entered the lift the lift man asked her to which floor and when she said to D.V.'s office she got such a weird look from him that it brought back the memories of her and D.V.'s earlier encounter in the hotel room and she shuddered as she remembered his words.Just when she thought that she is going to faint the lift opened and she was in the lion's den.Looking around she tried to find Kamodi who could help her to get acquainted with the place and the people.She spotted her standing near a cubicle of the second row.Reaching there she gave a tap on her shoulder . Kamodi turned to see who it was."Arre Amoli tum,yahaan?Job mil gayee kya?"she asked."Haan.Isiliye toh yahaan ayee hoon yaar."Amoli replied."Aur aap mujhe ab bataa rahein hain?u know im so miffed at u,u didn't even replied to my calls to u last night,I must have called u 10 times and u didn't even bother to reply back ek msg se bhi nahin."saying the last line in a typical filmy style Kamodi made Amoli aware of her grudges known. Amoli laughed hearing her and told her how she was exhausted the previous night and fell asleep in the car of Dipesh and how he carried her inside the house and tucked her in the bed and even then she didn't woke up."Arre yaar tu D.V.se milne gayee thee toh kahin usne tujhe behosh karne ke liye koi jaadoo toh nahin kar diya tha jiska late assar hua."Kamodi said in such a way that it made both of them laugh."Achha kair yeh sab chod aur mujhe mera cabin toh dikha,kahin baaton baaton mein pehle din hi late naa ho jaun."Amoli asked Kamodi."Chal, tujhe us shaitan ke kamre mein jaana padega."Kamodi said."Kyun."asked Amoli."Kyunki tera cabin uske cabin se hokar jaata hai."Kamodi replied."Kyun us cabin ki opening corridor main nahin hai?asked Amoli again."Arre meri bholi bhali saheli tujhe lagta hai ki woh apni secretary ka cabin aise rakhvaiga ki jab marzi koi bhi uski ijaazat ke bagair usse mil sake.waise ek opening hai jo us taraf khulti hai jise jab koi baahar ka koi bandaa aata hai D.V. se milne toh use karta hai par aam staaf ko D.V. ke saamne se hi hoke jaana padega."saying this she started walking towards D.V.'s cabin. "Woh andar hoga yaar hum doosra door use kar lete hain."Amoli asked her."Nahin yaar he is not yet here.Dont worry main tujhe jaldi se cabin dikha deti hoon taaki tu cabin main apni cheezeain set kar le."Kamodi told her.Upon entering the cabin of D.V. Amoli noticed that a big mahogany desk was set and on the head of it a big revolving chair was placed which faced the door of her cabin and opposite that table two chairs were placed,on the table a computer and a phone were placed neatly and some files were placed neatly in the shelf directly opposite his chair and on the right side wall a large sofa was arranged 1 thing she noticed here was that there was not even a speck of dirt visible anywhere eveything was spick and span.After entering her cabin the first thing she noticed was that her desk was placed directly in the view of his.Her chair was facing towards his cabin and there were two desks and a cupboard and there was a private washroom at the back wall, there were two windows 1 facing towards the cubicles and other near the terrace and a door which was used by people who comes to visit him and near that wall a large sofa was arranged.The terrace overlooked the parking area and a canteen. A large glass covered the half the wall which divided there cabins under which a fridge was placed.On the tables a computer was placed with a cordless keyboard,on the side table a printer was placed and besides it a copier was arranged, the right cupboard there were some files. "Achha yaar yeh hai aapka cabin aur lunch time 2 se 4 hai main aajaongi tujhe lene aur apna khyal rakna and best of luck."saying this Kamodi gave her a hug and took her leave.After making herself familiar with her cabin Amoli set the mandir on top of the empty cupboard on the right side and arranged the files neatly.Just as she finished her pooja she heard a voice"Toh tum aa hi gain."Without even turning she knew who it was and she replied turning towards him "haan,aakhir yeh meri job hai aana toh tha hi."she saw him standing at the door which divided their cabin wearing a black suit with black shirt opened till his chest with his 1 arm holding the door and wearing a tilak on his forehead.while looking at him she wondered was he wearing a tilak the previos night also or was it just this once that he is adorned with it.
