Hi Friends,
I had written one episode on Sunday.If at all, someone has missed that episode,giving you the link.
5.30 PM
Twinkle is with Sanjay and she has just come to give him company.
Sanjay: Aur kya chal reha hai? Chat break thoda zyada nahi ho reha hai? (What’s going on?)
Twinkle: Kunj used to go with Alisha on chat breaks. He is missing her. I was giving him company.
Sanjay: Ussko pata nahi hai kya ki tu sirf office me Alisha ka replacement hai… Chat kuch zyada nahi kha reha hai… (Doesn’t he know that you are just a replacement to Alisha in office works? Someone is having chat on a daily basis…Something fishy?)
Twinkle: Tera shakh ka keeda vapas jag utha hai…Aisa kuch nahi hai… (You started again….Nothing like that.)
Sanjay: Tikh hai.. Me chup ho jaata hun…Yehi silsila chalta reha to, aur kuch ho na ho, har din dahi chat khake bande ko sardi zaroor ho jayega…
(Fine..I won’t say anything..But if this is gonna happen everyday, Kunj is going to get cold very soon…)
Twinkle smiles and thinks… “Sardi to ho chuka hai…”
Monday
All the team leads and AMs are supposed to have a meeting. Manager Antony is going to Australia for 2 weeks for some official purpose.Twinkle, Kunj and Sanjay are going together to the meeting room. Meeting is basically for wishing him all the best and congratulating him. Antony starts addressing them and explains the process and business. He has finished his speech and now everyone is heading to congratulate him. Sanjay, Twinkle and Kunj also congratulate him. (This part is needed for upcoming episodes)
All three are back to their work station.
Next week is the month end week and Kunj has pinged both of them to inform him about the night shift allocations. Sanjay is now discussing the night shift allocation of team with Kunj. Twinkle has asked for some time as she needed to discuss it with team.
Twinkle asks Alisha’s team to get to the meeting room.
Twinkle: Meeting is to discuss about the night shift allocation. I have seen in previous month ends, boys always take the night shift and work pressure and girls are provided with day shift. This time I am changing it. I want all the 5 girls in night shift. Instead I will give 5 boys a day shift for a change.
Boys seem happy and girls are murmuring. Boys have always felt that women card is played at the month ends and they are forced to take night shifts being gentle man. Boys in the team are happy with Twinkle’s decision. Twinkle asks all the boys to leave and girls to stay back.
Twinkle: Girls, I know probably you all are miffed with me because of my decision. But trust me you need to know how to handle the work pressure.
Girls: But Alisha madam usually used to give us night shifts.
Twinkle: I have already told you guys my way of working and Alisha’s are different. So don’t expect it from me. Don’t tell me that night shifts are not safe for me. I have 10 girls in my team and I myself working in night shifts for all the month ends. So it is decided.
Twinkle gets back to her work. Uday (Alisha’s right hand and her month end back up) is miffed with Twinkle as she has completely taken charge of the team. None of the team members are listening to him nowadays…He is not happy with the way Twinkle has done month end allocations.Uday comes to Twinkle.
Uday: I think you are making a wrong decision. We always had kept the girls in day shift. You should allocate it the way Alisha used to do.
Twinkle: Uday, Don’t teach me how to do my work? First day itself, I told you I am not Alisha. Don’t expect me to behave like her. Till she comes back, this is my team and I know how to handle it. Don’t interfere in my job.
Uday feels humiliated. He comes back to his work station. He is angry with Twinkle and feels he should do something to bring her down.
Twinkle comes to Kunj’s cabin and informs Kunj the night shift allocation of her team and Alisha’ team. Kunj is still not well and is continuosly coughing.
Kunj: How was the team’s response?
Twinkle: Boys are happy. Girls obviously are miffed. But that’ okay. I know how to handle it.
Twinkle leaves.
Kunj thinks. “Mana bohut responsibilities hai tum par…To bhi ek bar to puch sakti ti ki tabiyat kaisa hai mera… Kitna sardi ta Friday ko…Saturday Sunday fever tha…Weekend me ek call hi ker deti… AM ke alawa tumara friend bi to hun… Aur kuch na sahi friendship ke chalte hi, ek phone ker deti…
(I understand she has work pressure.She knows that I was not well on Friday. Saturday Sunday I had fever. She could have at least called me once. I am more a friend to her than AM. )
Kunj talks to himself: Abhi bi to ek baar puch sakti ti ki kaisa hun me…Me bhi to AM hun..Kitna kaam hai muje..Per tumse badker to nahi hai koi bhi kaam…
(Fine, you didn’t ask me on weekends. At least you could have asked me now…I am AM. I too have so much work. But I make sure that I take time for you.)
At 4.00 PM
Kunj pings Twinkle.
Kunj: Chat break?
Twinkle: No… I don’t feel like eating chat…No more chat breaks…
Kunj: Fine. If you don’t feel like eating, don’t have. But give me company at least.
Twinkle: I have some work. Can’t come.
Kunj: Don’t lie… I know your work is done. Don’t forget I am you AM too. I know how much work you get and by when it gets finished… So you are coming?
Twinkle: No, I am not. Why are you forcing me?
Kunj: Give me one valid reason for not coming. I won’t force you again.
Twinkle: You still have cold. I saw you were coughing in the cabin. We both are not going for chat break as street foods are not good for you right now…
Kunj: Agreed. Not going for chat break.
Kunj is smiling while reading her chat.
Kunj thinks. “Ye huyi na baat…Iska matlab tum muje notice ker rehi thi..Bus dikhana nahi chahti ho… Bus yehi baat, tumhari muh se sunna chahta tha…Chat khane to me vaise bi nahi jaane vala tha…”
(That’s what I wanted from you dear…That means you noticed that I am still not well and is coughing. You didn’t want to show it to me..I have already decided that I am not going to have chat today. But I wanted to make you say that you care for me..And I did it…)
Kunj, Twinkle and Sanjay went for tea break together.Sanjay notices that Kunj has developed an unusual bond with Twinkle through the chat breaks. He understood that Twinkle is considering this as a normal friendship. Sanjay could make out how Kunj is taking care of Twinkle in each and every moment. Kunj himself is not well, but is more bothered about Twinkle and her wishes.
Sanjay thinks. “Kitna dhyaan rekh reha hai Twinkle ka ye… Ye gadi vapas vahi track pe aa gaya hai…ya phir kabhi iss track se hata hi nahi ta…Bus muje ye impression diya gaya ki aisa kuch nahi hai… Muje to laga tha uss din ke baton se jaise aisa kuch bi nahi hai…”
(Kunj is taking care of Twinkle so well. I think I was right..That day he gave me an impression that he has nothing for Twinkle. But clearly I can see that he feels for her…I think he was just hiding it from me…)
Kunj left to take a glass of water for Twinkle as she felt the snacks spicy. Sanjay notices how Kunj rushed to take water…Sanjay smiles.
Sanjay thinks. “Kunj, Ab jab tumne mujse ye baat chupane ka decide ker hi liya hai to chalo me bi anjaan ban ne ka natak ker leta hun… (Now that you have decided to keep it a secret, I will also pretend as if I don’t know anything.)
Kunj came back and makes Twinkle drink water…Sanjay is noticing both of them.
Sanjay thinks. “Kunj, Tumahari gadi toh ussi din chal padegi, jab iss duffer ko yeh samaj aayegi…Kuch aur din dekhta hun…Agra kuch na hua ta…me bi aa jaunga tumhari madad ke liye…Dosti to nibhani padegi…”
(Kunj, you love story won’t start unless and until this idiot Twinkle understands your feelings…Let’s see for some more time…If nothing works out, I will help you in expressing your feelings…After all we are friends…)
Jisha 🙂
