Mere boss ne mujshe apne cabin mei bulaya. Jaise hi mai unke cabin mei gayi, mere boss muskurate hue bole, "Nisha, baitho." Unko apne samne wali chair par baithne ka ishara kiya. Aj woh ache mood mei lag rahe the. Mai chair par baithne ke bad boli, "Sir, apne bulaya."
Woh bole, "haa, you know your paintings was amazing. Everybody appreciated it."
Mai muskurate hue boli, "Thank you sir."
Woh serious hote hue bole, "Actually, meri wife ko tumhara kaam acha laga. Agar tum chaho toh woh tumhari help kar sakti hai."
Mai samjh gayi ki woh kya kehna chah rahe the isliye muskurate hue boli, "Sir, I am so sorry. Par maine kabhi professional ki tarah nahi socha. It's my hobby that's it."
Woh thoda udas hote hue bole, "It's ok. I can understand. Har kisi ki apni soch hai lekin kabhi as a professional socho toh mera offer hamesha valid hai tumhare liye."
I smiled, "thank you sir."Woh ek cheque mere ko dete hue bole, "Yeh tumhari painting ka payment hai."
Mai thoda hichakte hue boli, "Sorry Sir, I can't accept it. Maine paintings isliye banayi kyuki apne bola. Aur rahi cheque ki baat. Kyu na hum dinner ka plan kare waise bi kafi time ho gaya pura department ko sath mei kahi gaye."
Woh thoda sochne ke bad bole, "it's great idea. I will discuss it with senior. let's see what they say."
I nodded. Exhibition project success hua tha isliye meri company mei acha environment tha. Ab hum dusre project par kaam kar rahe the. Jab meine apne colleagues ko dinner ki baat batai toh woh ready ho gye.
2 din baad humne dinner ka program banaya. Maine bua ki ko bol diya tha ki aj dinner par apne colleagues ke sath ja rahi hu isliye mere liye dinner na banaye aur raat ko ane mei bi der ho jayegi.
Woh boli, "thik hai. Lekin agar jayada der ho th Raman ya fufa ji ko call kar du lift ke liye."
Mai muskurate hue boli, "bua ji, chinta mat karo apne kisi colleague ko bol dugi."
Woh muskurate hue boli, "apna Dhyan rakhna."
Raat ko dinner par jana tha toh aj maine dress pehenti thi kyuki aj sabhi ache se ready hokar ane wale the.
Jab office pauchi toh sabhi excited the dinner ke liye. Office hours pata nahi chala kam finish ho gaye.
At Last, hum sab restaurant mei dinner ke liye pauch gayi. Hum sab 11 log the. Mere boss ne phele se hi table book kar rakhi toh hum logo ko pauchte hi apni table par settle ho gaye.
Mere boss stood and bole, "aj ka bill Nisha ki paintings se aur joh extra ayega woh mai pay karuga. Toh guys, full enjoy karo aj."
Hum sabne milkar boss ko thanks bola aur clapping ki. Uske baad, hum sabne apni apni pasand ka order kiya. Boss ne drinks bi order ki. Boss ne ek glass uthate hue bola, "It's for Nisha."
Hum sabne ek dusre glass uthaye aur ek dusre ke sath click kiya. I took a sip and it's really tasty. Meri college somya boli, "Nisha, tum kyu exhibition mei nahi ayi? Tumhari paintings ki sab tarif kar rahe the aur puch rahe the ki painter kaun hai?"
Maine apne hairs apne ear ke piche kiye aur boli, "Us din mujhko kuch personal kaam tha."
Sabhi ne hami mei sar hilaya. Phir humne idhar udhar ki bat ki. Aur ek colleague Raju ne jokes sunaye toh hum bahut hase. Isi tarah hum apna dinner enjoy kar rahe the. Kabhi koi kisi baat par cheers kar raha aur kabhi boss ki tarif mei. Yeh baat sach thi ki hamare boss bahut cooperative the. Aur mujshe pata hi nahi chala kab mai 4 ya 5 glass drinks pi gayi. Mujshe thoda chakar sa laga toh mai samjah gayi ki I am drink. But I tried to control myself. Waise bi sabne drink ki hui thi toh sab thoda thoda drunk the. Sab has rahe the aur baat kar rahe the humko time ka pata hi nahi chala.
Tabhi ek colleague boli, "oh shit, it's 11 pm. I think hum sabko ghar jana chahiye."
Toh dusri colleague boli, "baith na yaar, wese bi kal Sunday hai. Aj kitne dino baad sab sath mei baithe hai. Aur aisa mauka milta hi kaha hai."
