Chapter 5

Outside the confrence room

Shaurya -Ms. Bhall, yahan koi resturant hai kya aas pass. Actually lunch time ho gaya hai toh aap bata dein main lunch kar loon.

Anokhi (thinks) - well, mr Saberwal acha restuarant toh yahanse thoda door hai. Agar aapko thik lage toh humare office ke top floor pe avon canteen hai. Main wahin jaa rahi hoon aap bhi chaliye.

Shaurya (thinks and says) - okay, after you.

Scene : Canteen

Shaurya - Wow! The ambience is really good.

Anokhi - Maine kaha tha na?
(A man comes and takes the order)

Shaurya - Maine suna hai aapki Company bas 9 saal purani hai?

Anokhi - Ji sahi suna hai. Maine apne classmates ke saath milkar apne college days se hi shuru kar di thi. Apni padhai job aur chote chote projects.

Shaurya - Toh iska matlab aapki family bohot supportive hai.

Anokhi - Well, sach kahoon toh meri family mein meri maa ke alwa koi supportive nahi tha. Yoon samajh lijiye maine apni kamyabi duniya se apne dam pe doniya ko dene pe majboor kar diya. (Anokhi explains her side of story without taking Aastha's name)

Shaurya - Par apke father aise ladke se aapki shaadi kyun karana chahte the jo itna ghatiya tha?
(food arrives & they start eating)

Anokhi - Mr. saberwal yeh India hai yaha devi pooja ki jaati hai magar agar yahi devi apke angan ki beti bankar janam leti hai toh usse bojh samjh kar niptane ka plan banaya jata hai. Shaadi ke dahej ki planning. Aur agar beta kitna hi nikamma kyun na ho usse
Shahi taj pehna diya jata hai. Aur main aisa maanti hoon ladki kisi bhi ladke se jyada kaam kar sakti hai.

Shaurya- Magar aap aisa kaise keh sakti hain ki ladki jyada karti hai ladko se?
Anokhi (smiles) - hmm, Aapka college sunday ko band hota hai, aapko har festival pe aaram milta hai par I am 1000% sure ki uss din aapke ghar ki ladies dugna kaam karti hongi? Kyunki unhe aapko serve karna hai aur yakeen maniye ek ghar ke budget ko chalana kisi bhi Economics aur MBA ki kitab nahi batati.

Shaurya (speechless)

(A pair of eyes watching them obiously Shweta) Smiles and goes near lift

Shweta - Dev (lift man) , dekh abhi Mr. Saberwal aur AB niche lift se ja rahe hai. Tujhe First floor aur ground floor ke bich mein lift ko rokna hai but dhyan se galti se bhi un dono ko chot nahi lagni chahiye.

Dev - par madam aisa kyun?

Shweta -Bas yeh samajh hum Social service kar rahe hai?

Dev - Hain (scraching his head)

Shweta - Aur haan dekhna koi aur us waqt lift mein na aaye samjha (Dev nods)

Canteen

Shaurya (thinks) Pov - Maine toh kabhi is tarha se socha hi nahin

Anokhi (bill pay kar ke kehti hai) - Ab chalein

Shaurya - Ji chaliye. par aap toh office jayeingi na.

Anokhi - Ji nahin. Actually kal mujhe kuch personal kaam se Canada jana hai toh abhi main apne ghar jaaougi.

Shaurya - ok

(And the lift got stuck between First and ground floor)
