FF: Tum jo aye Zindagi Mein
Part 2
"Ya so you can start straight away?" Preeti was adamant to get her on board as soon possible, if only Preeti would let Pratigya get a word in edge way.."Oh Siya you haven't even met her yet, but I'm sure she will like you, she's quite a friendly baby" Pratigya smiled, Preeti looked ahead "wait here he comes your second boss me being the first of course.."
Wow this is just great I've got a job now and I don't need hand outs from anyone finally I will be able to provide for my family.
"just excuse me for a minute" Preeti went across the kitchen and yelled.. Ramu... get malik some water he has just come from a long business trip. Pratigya stood on her own in the hall, dwelling in her own thoughts.. Preeti maam seems nice her husband too must be a uncle type in his 40's I guess' she was in her own thoughts..
"Listen someone I want you to meet.. come" she waved to her husband in front who was about to take the stairs..
"yeah wait I will just get changed and come.. he replied.
"no that can wait.. I've got a babysitter for Siya, come meet her first." He nodded, put his suitcase down and came walking in their direction.. He walked he saw the young girl from the back in a blue salvar he was standing opposite to Preeti, he came with his hands in his pocket and stood in-between at an angle.
Ya dear this is your 2nd boss"
Pratigya turned her head to the side with the same thought her husband must be 40.. or somewhat old.. but her mind did a complete u turn.
"Hi Pratigya?.. I'm Krishna. pleasure to meet you.. he out stretched his hand to hers. she was lost for words she didn't think that who she will be working for would be so young and so good looking.. Krishna looked at her, why wasn't she shaking his hand, she looked at him in wonder instead she greeted him with a "namaste" and Krishna gave her a amused look.. "stupid.. idiot what are you doing.. what's wrong with .. you should've shaken his hand.. her mind scolded her, quickly grab his hand and shake it.. Krishna took his hand away too late..' he took his hand away, her mind mocked her..Pratigya what's wrong get a hold of yourself you're here because of a job.. which you need badly focus! "ok um namaste I guess" he greeted and then chuckled.
"your making her nervous Krishna stop it" Preeti scolded him.
"anyway where is the star of the show.." Krishna looked around he couldn't see Siya anywhere.
"she is asleep"
"I was just asking Pratigya when she can start.. today is good for me, in fact right now.."
"now um.." Pratigya was a little lost.. she hadn't even had lunch, she was already rushing around today, she really didn't have the energy to baby sit, tomorrow would be better...
"yeah so its decided.. Pratigya couldn't refuse she needed this job.. Krishna looked at her and something told him she wasn't ready to start today..
"Preeti today it's not necessary, she maybe having other plans.. Pratigya didn't expect Krishna sir to comment at all but he surprised her. Preeti pretended she didn't hear and looked over to the other side "oh look she's awake Siya.." Ramu their house servant he had Siya in his arms.
"baby ko yaha le avo" Ramu came to her and she took her from him.
"Siya my darling.. look this is Pratigya.. she gave Siya to Pratigya..
"you both get acquainted come I need to ask you something" Preeti walked off with Krishna not too far from them..
"Hi Siya, hum Pratigya hai" she held the baby close and instantly they bonded, Siya was cute and chubby, fare complexion, big eyes and a lovely face, silky hair, with a alice band on it she was wearing a yellow frock,, with little black sandals. by seeing her you can tell she is from a wealthy family, Siya began to like Pratigya's ear-ring and grabbed on to it" "ouch" Pratigya yelled. Krishna saw from the corner of his eye. Siya pulling which was paining her, he could see that expression clearly on her face.
"what's wrong.. " Preeti asked as he seemed distracted..
"look" he pointed to them, Preeti saw and laughed.
"is that all, I thought something serious.." Krishna rolled his eyes.. as Preeti went on with her conversation, but he couldn't concentrate.
"beta.." Pratigya tried to reason but Siya put her ear-ring in her mouth, pulling a bit more.. Now the pain increased slightly.
"Nai Siya that's not nice let go of the Pratigya's ear-ring.." Krishna raced over to them and held little Siya's hand and tried to release the long dangling piece of jewellery. "sorry about this" he said in between trying to loosen the grip, his words fell on deaf ears, all she could feel was his fingers brush against her ear lobe, finally he managed to release it and that too brought her senses back. Siya saw her dad and reached out for him with her little arms. "is this how you welcome someone home hmm, naughty naughty girl." he picked her up, and took her away with him, then gave her a kiss, she is only 10 months old innocent baby. .. "I'm going to go get changed, take her and also give Pratigya a day off, she can start tomorrow" he didn't listen to Preeti's answer he gave his answer and that was it, he went over to Pratigya, she had removed her ear-ring and was rubbing her sore lobe with her thumb and index finger. "you better get some ice on that, and Siya has a liking to you I know she has odd way of showing but If she doesn't like someone she just cries so this is a good sign.. she just nodded..
"now if you'll excuse me" with that Krishna walked off towards the stairs and climbed up them. Preeti came with Siya to Pratigya.
"I suggest you don't wear long ear-rings change to studs." Or you won't have any ears left.. she laughed Pratigya didn't know whether to take that as a joke or an insult.
"ok I have decided you will start tomorrow 8am sharp, no later, Siya wakes up at that time, I will have a schedule on what you have to do.."
"you will be too right?"
"of course not.. darling if I am here that what is the point of hiring a babysitter.."
"ok will see you tomorrow, Ramu see Pratigya out.." Preeti left with the baby and took a left turn in the hall.
Pratigya was puzzled... "ok need a goodnight sleep bas that will be good enough and I will start afresh tomorrow.. Ramu came to her.
"chalo beta" he was a sweet man, old enough to be her grandfather. Pratigya nodded as he walked her to the door, and went outside to wait for a auto.
Precap:
"Pratigya what is this you didn't even apply ice on your wound.. Pratigya looked down feeling silly.. Krishna looked at the shy babysitter.. "This is not done come here.. he pulled her by the hand and she looked up at him in surprise
