"You are Fired!" He said not looking at the sobbing girl behind. Don't know if they were real or mere crocodile tears , but he was in no idea to change his decision.
His hands gripping hard the railing of his balcony, which tightened even more when her sniffs were within the audiotary range.
"Sir I won't repeat it again. Sir Please" she apologized in-between the sniffs.
"I am sorry Joshua, but I can't...." He said shaking his head, "...Do you even realize what blunder have you made?" His calm voice suddenly turned heavy and he banged his hand on the thick railing in frustration.
"I realize sir" she said timidly when her Boss turned around to look at her. His eyes held dark cold death glare. Only if eyes could kill, it would have been the last breath of his General Manager.
The girl was standing at the middle of the big one-way mirror office. Front to her was the elevated platform on which was placed a large wodden table whose sides were carved beautiful against which was placed the throne of RS.
She stood there looking everywhere trying to find out any excuse that could help her save her job. Joshua continuously fidgeted with her fingers while taking long sniffs and sighs. She dared took a glance at him and then immediately looked down.
"If you would have realized your job, my reputation wouldn't have to suffer like this" said the raged up Boss taking a few steps and placing an arm on his throne.
She glanced up when her eyes caught his best friend whose face was barrierd by the phone screen.
She then shifted her orbs towards her Boss, the already scared girl looked down even more, if she could get drowned into her own deeds and get lost somewhere.
"The one who isn't capable of understanding her profession..." He continued walking up towards her, "....I don't expect her to understand my profession".
"Look up" he ordered in a much rather soft voice, when he reached her.
His calm tone gave Joshua the courage to obey his order and a glint of hope that her job might be safe.
She raised her eye lids up when she caught a slip on paper in her Boss's hands. She immediately understood what it was, "Rrahul Sir Please" she said in a pleading tone. Her streaming eyes begging for forgiveness, but Rrahul simply looked away. Her begging eyes pleading tone were making things difficult for him.
Rrahul was really attached to her. She was clumsy yet responsible. She is childish but words dripped with maturity, just like a little sister and so what they considered each other, siblings.
Joshua has been his long term General Manager and so he used to overlook her small mistakes as well as big blunders. But this time, he just can't overlook it. Moreover when it's a matter of his reputation.
"I am sorry Joshua...." His voice heavy, but not with rage, but with sadness, "....You've been working here for long and I have overlooked many of your mistakes, but I can't tolerate it anymore. It's affecting me" he said simply.
"You are so selfish Rrahul Sudhir!!!" She suddenly barked on him, "Your this sugar coated talks in front of camera...." she took a few steps back, "....I'll unveil your true self. I let the world know how self-centered you are...."
"Your paycheck" Ignoring every of her blabber, Rrahul just handed over her paycheck.
Joshua looked at the paycheck in astonishment and then at Rrahul. She snatched the paycheck and screamed at him while moving out of the office, "....I'll make sure everyone knows about your true self. To what extent you can go for your own benefit. You just wait and watch!!!" and she moved out of the office.
Once Joshua was out of sight, Rrahul rubbed his temple in distress.
"Kya Bhai? VRS play karte karte uska bhoot ghuss gya kya? (What Brother? Did the soul of VRS enter into you?)
Rrahul turned around to see his best mate sitting on the rolling chair with his eyes fixed on phone screen, which had a big Z imprinted on it's back cover.
He sighed and walked across the room to take place on his throne with RS template fixed on it.
"No Brother. But after what she has done, I can't forgive her" he said pursing his lips.
"When did I ask you to forgive her?" Asked the concerned man keeping aside his phone. His glowing light brown eyes speaking the words of heart, while his masculine feature so sharp capable of wooing any girl at one glance.
"Then what do you mean Zayn?" Asked Rrahul turning his head to look at him, while chin resting at the crook of his nuckles.
"I meant...." He started saying when his eyes landed on his fellow friend, "Don't look at me like that Rrahul, I might fall in love with you" he said huskily when Rrahul smacked him with his coat, "Shut up!"
He giggled hard, "Why are you being so aggressive man?...." Asked Zayn taking the coat off him, "....You are not usually one".
"I am not being aggressive. I am frustrated" he answered giving a long sigh.
"The negative responses my upcoming show is getting..." he shook his head in distress, "....just because Nia is in lead" he said gritting his teeth, "Even if I ignore such things, at the end it affects me. I don't know why people don't understand that Nia is my friend!!!" He said banging his hand on the desk and then put his left hand on his forehead.
"Because.... Nia seems horny" commented Zayn and Rrahul loosen up a bit and then bursted into a chuckle.
"So? Do I even look horny?" Asked Rrahul in-between the chuckle.
"No. Girls get horny seeing you. So they just can't believe Nia is your friend because...." He gave a 'isn't it obvious' look and both bursted into giggle.
"I really sometimes unable to understand what to do..." He said licking his bottom lip, "....These things, though I might brush it off, but do effect my parents you see. People talking about their son, accusing him to be a liar...." he let his sentence remain incomplete and took a deep breath. He rested his head back of chairs, thus closing his eyes
"I have an idea" said Zayn thoughtfully and Rrahul snapped open then. He sat up straight looking at him intently when Zayn continued, "Ask uncle to write on a stamp paper, 'Nia iss ghar ki bahu ni ban sakti (Nia won't be daughter-in-law of Sudhir family') and publish it" completed Zayn and Rrahul again let his head fall on the back of his throne. He bit his lower lip and looked here and there but then bursted into laughter.
"I should have expected such answer from you...." he said pursing his lips, "....You are too good bro" he said raising his hand up for a high-five while trying to get a grip on himself.
"Oh Wait,..." Rrahul suddenly blurted out, "....let me call Sushi to get me a new General Manager" he said in-between the laugh and took up the reciever and dialed the code, "Uh..Sushi?"
"Yes Sir" he could hear the girl responding.
"Find me a new General Manager" he said when the girl at the other end agreed and both cut the call.
"Another round of Fortnight?" Asked Zayn handing over remote to his best friend.
"Okay..." Rrahul agreed and both called of a match.
