PART 4-
Kalpi and Pakhi go to meet their team leaders. They both were put in different teams. Kalpi went to her group. A man was aldready there calling out the names of the new employees. Kalpi asked,"Excuse Me sir !'. The man asked,"Miss Kalpana Yadav ?". Kalpi nods. The man said,"Wecome Miss Kalpana. My name is Aarav Deshmukh. I am your team leader." They both shook hands. Aarav started explaining about the unity of the team and completion of work. He said atlast," Our boss likes perfection. He does not like late submissions or any kinds of mistake. All the best employees. You may start your work." Saying this, he handed over a file to eac of the employees and said," First you will finish this file and hand it over. This is called the basics. You will get your main files from tomorrow." Kalpi was excited as well as nervous. She was going to get her first file today. Her mind went blank when she heard that the boss was very tempermental.Aarav noticed this and said,"Cool down Miss Kalpana. Do your best." Kalpi smiled and said,"Thankyou Sir. Please call me Kalpi." Aarav smiled and said,"Ok Kalpi. And you can call me Aarav."Kalpi felt a wave of relief wash through her on hearing Aarav's words of comfort. She decided that she would impress him with her work at any cost π. Kalpi started her work. Since she was a topper at her college, she had no problem in going through the file. By the time she completed the file, the others were ready too. Aarav took the files and went to the MD to show him the work of the new employees. The MD went through all the files and said,"Aarav. I would like to meet Miss Kalpana Yadav . Ask her to come to my office NOW." He stressed on the word now.
Aarav nodded and went to Kalpi. Kalpi was sitting rubbing her fingers together. Aarav went and said,"Kalpi, Boss wants to meet you now." Kalpi asked,'Why, did i do sumthing wrong ?" Aarav said,"Sorry Kalpi, I can't help you with that. You have to ask him only." Kalpi went upstairs. She was feeling sick. She thought,"No Kalpi. Tu daro mat. Bappa tere saath hai. Kuch nahi hoga. Tu strong ho. Jaao aur yeh museebat face karo." She went knocked the door of MD. A gruff "Come in" was heard. She found Sammy there. Someone was sitting on a chair with his back faced towards her. Sammy exclaimed,"Miss Kalpna !!' Kalpi smiled. The man sitting in the chair slowly turned toward her and Kalpi's eyes went as wide as any eye would go. The man's eyes were the same. They both stared at each other. Raghav was the first to break out of his trance. He exclaimed,"Tum !!!". Kalpi broke out of her trance. She could not speak anything. Sammy couldn't undersand anything. Rgahv shouted,"Tum yahan kya kar rahi ho ?" Kalpi wanted to speak but nothing came out of her mouth. Raghav was staring at her with very intense and angry eyes. Kalpi thought,'Are yaar Kalpi. Yeh tu kaha phas gayi. Is company ka owner yeh akdoo hai. Ab tu gayi Kalpi. Ab isse pehle yeh vaapas chillaye baat kar." Kalpi said," main yahan ek nayi employee hoon." Raghav looked at Sammy. Sammy said,"Haan Raghav. Ye hain vo ladki jisne hamare riddle ka sahi jawaab di.' Raghav said,"Mujhe abhi isi vakth yeh ladki office se bahar chahiye.' Kalpi was shocked. Tears were threatening to come out of her eyes and she tried very hard to control them. Sammy was shocked of this sudden outburst. He saw Kalpi and felt sorry for her. He asked Kalpi to get down to her place.
IN THE TEAM'S PLACE-
Aarav was waiting down for Kalpi. He was very worried for her. When she came down, he sensed something was wrong by looking at her face. He could see that she was trying to stop her tears. He felt pity for her. He went to her and asked,"Kya hua Kalpi. Tum kuch pareshaan lag rahi ho ?". Kalpi just stood there. He shooked her by her shoulders and asked,"Kalpi, kya hua ?". Kalpi saw his face and tears came out of her eyes. Aarav was shocked. He turned around to see that everybody had started noticing them. He exclaimed,"Kya dekh rahe ho ! Koi kaam nahi hai kya. Sab karo apne apne kaam." He took Kalpi away from the crowd to the canteen. He made her sit and ordered for two cofees. He asked,'Kya hua Kalpi. Batao mujhe. Members ki problems solve karna hi leader ka kaam hota hai. Ab batao, kya baat hai." Kalpi looked at Aarav. He had a genuine look on his face. She then knew that she could trust him with anything. She told everything that had happened with Raghav. After she finished her story, she looked at Aarav. His face was like as if he had seen something he should not have seen. He broke out of his expression and said,"Mujhe pata nahi kya bolna hai. Lekin tum rona mat. Humara Raghav Sir bohot ache hai. Rash decisions lete hai par uske baad pashchaate hain. Isliye rona mat, aankhein phocho aur cofee piyo.' Kalpi smiled at him and thought,"Such a nice guy..." She drank the coffee and that made her feel better. Aarav asked,"Ab acha lag raha hain na ?" Kalpi nodde. Aarav said,"To chalo hum vaapas jaate hain aur kal ke baare mein baat karte hain." Aarav and Kalpi went back to their work.
AT RAGHAV'S OFFICE-
Sammy asked,"Tumhe kya ho gaya hai Raghav ? Kyun aise behave kiya tumne ?". Raghav did not speak anything. Sammy persuaded,"Explain Raghav. Kya tha vo ? Kyun aise behave ki tumne uske saath ?" Raghav said,"Kyunki usne mujhe Thank You nahi bola aur bohot baat karti hai vo. Aur usne mujhse rudely bhi baat ki." Saamy exclaimed,"Vo kyun tujhe Thank You bolegi ?". Raghav told wht happened between both of them. Sammy glared at Raghav and said,"itni si baat keliye tumne uspar chillaya ?". Raghav said,"Vo mere saath aise baat kaise kar sakti thi ? Main is company ka MD hoon." Sammy asked,"Kya voh ye baat jaanti thi uss samay ?". Raghav's look softened a little and he nodded his head NO. Sammy said,"To uski galati kya thi isme. Vo jaanti nahi thi ki tum is company ki MD ho isliye usne aisi baat ki. Uske liye tum use office se bahar nikalega ? Itna harsh mat bano uske saath." Rgahv went into deep thinking. Sammy said," Socho Raghav. Uss ladki ne yek file bohot achi se complete ki. Koi bhi aaj tak aisa file submit nahi kiya. Hamari company keliye bohot achi asset hai vo." Sammy did not mean it when he said that Kalpi was a very good asset. He had grown to admire Kalpi's knowledge and skills. Raghav said,"Ok. Vo office se bahar nahi jaayegi. Par usse kehna ki zyaada baate karne ki koi zaroorat nahi."
Sammy just smirked at Raghav and went down to where Kalpi was sitting with her team members listening to Aarav's lecture. Sammy came and coughed. Aarav turned towards him and said," Sammy Sir aap !" Sammy said,"Aarav, kitni baar kaha hai tumse. Mujhe Sammy bulao. Sammy Sir nahi." Aarav apologised with his smile and said,"Acha ok Sammy, tum yaha ?". Sammy was looking at Kalpi and asked her to come to the side.Kalpi nervously went wid Sammy. Sammy said,"Miss Kalpana. Aap kal se office aa sakte hain." Kalpi was very happy. She started to smile. Sammy decided to get naughty. He was really very bored and wanted to have some fun. So he added,"Aur haan, Raghav ne yeh bataaya ki aapko ZYAADA BADTAMEEZ BAATEIN karne ki zarrorat nahi hain." The look on Kalpi's face wanted to make Sammy want to roll on the floor laughing π€£ but he controlled it. Kalpi was having an outrageous expression on her face.. She returned back to her place where Aarav was announcing a BREAK. After all the members had gone, Aarav asked,"Kya hua Kalpi. Kya kaha Sammy ne ?". Kalpi told all that Sammy ahd told her. Aarav's face was beaming with happiness. He exclaimed,"Kalpi, am so happy to hear this. Tum kyun itni gusse me ho ?". Sh replied," Us Akdoo ne kaha tha ki mujhe badtameez baatein karne ki koi zaroorat nahi." Aarav was confused,'Akdoo ?". Seeing his confusion Kalpi said,"Main MD ki baat kar rahi hoo. Mr.Akdoo Kaheeka.". Aarav started laughing and said,"Tum bohot funny ho Kalpi. Seriously Mr. Akdoo Kaheeka ?". Kalpi also started smiling. Aarav said,"Alrite chalo, break keliye chalte hain." Kalpi nodded and they both went for their break.
PRECAP: KALPI WAS STANDING ON A CLIFF. SOMEONE PUSHED HER OFF THE CLIFF. SHE WAS SCREAMING BUT THEN SOMEONE CAUGHT HER AROUND THE WAIST AND PULLED HER TO THEIR CHEST TO PROTECT HER. SHE OPENED HER EYES TO SEE RAGHAV HOLDING HER PROTECTLY AROUND THE WAIST AND LOOKING AT HER INTENSELY... π
