"Welcome to India Shivaay!" Shakti exclaimed stretching his arms for embracing his foreign-return son.

Shivaay was a young man of 28. He established his business in Canada and returned to his motherland after 8 years.

The father-son duo proceeded towards the office. Shakti wanted to take his son home but Shivaay was insisting upon checking the authenticity and discipline of the "Oberoi Industries, India Branch."

*****
A girl in her mid-twenties walked down the corridor and handed some files to another girl.

"Annika, which files are these?" the latter asked.

"Arrey Amyra, real-estates meetings file, this is!" Annika managed to say with her broken sentences.

Amyra burst into laughter and patted her friend's back "Ani, for God's sake, learn English." she suggested.

Annika made a pout "Nahi re. English na janne se kya hota hain, main jaisi hun, waisi thik Hun."

Amyra face palmed and ran to greet Mr. Shakti who gave her a call while entering.

"Ani, be ready, today Mr. Shivaay Singh Oberoi is coming!" She whispered.

"Shakti uncle ka beta, hain na?" Ani said while Amyra nodded.

Shivaay entered the office only to find hard-working young people engrossed in their work, their dressing sense, body language said it all.

"Dad, the command of English is quite nice here! Everyone speaks English correctly and with ease." He said to his father in a genuine tone. He was quite jolly but his outer brooding mood concealed it.

"Here, meet Amyra!" Shakti exclaimed when she came to make him wear a flower garland. She was about to slip it on Shivaay when he interrupted---

"No, no please! I hate such Indian rituals! Be modern, let's shake hands."

Amyra shook hands and thought what will happen when he comes across Annika, the Desi Queen.

Annika came all set with her Indian Salwaar Kameez with minimal make-up.

"She is Annika, my P.A." Shakti introduced.

Shivaay was dumbfounded to see such an attire in office. Shrugging it off, he tried to shake hands with her when she folded her hands in front of him and mouthed a 'Namaste'.

******
Shivaay was sitting in the cabin and thinking of Annika. She was somewhat different! Her Desiness didn't bother him that much, she was great in it.

"Main andar aaun?" Annika knocked the door.

"Come in."

"Ye files meeting mein lagenge, toh main le aayi. She said firmly.

"Huh! Don't you know English?" He asked with a flabbergasted face.

"Haanji, woh- hello, how are you, I am fine aata hain mujhe." She replied in her usual funny tone and walked away.

Shivaay made an irritated face. How can a person survive without knowing English?

He asked his father about why did he keep an uneducated girl as his P.A.

"She is an amazing girl Shivaay, and efficient too." Shakti replied.

Shivaay was not quite convinced.
