"Oh Himachali Apple!"
"Excuse me Miss Arora raahon mein rora, I have a name."
"Whatever it will take two working days to say your full name just take this file with you and leave."
"Quite unprofessional aren't we?"
...
I jumped up on the chairs but i can't feel the ground beneath me when i tried to step down. I can't see anything, oh i will have to open my eyes first . When I opened my eyes i saw those same eyes staring down at me with utmost seriousness. I looked around and found myself being held by him. Surprisingly i also have my arms around his neck realizing that i moved my hands away keeping them close to me.
"Be careful. What are you doing? Do you think he gets it that you are scared? Look at him he thinks you were playing around. You almost hurt yourself."
He said in stern voice and i... I don't have any answer to that. Nobody scolds me like that. But when did he pick me up? Was i really going to fall?
'Is that even a question? You go crazy as soon as any dog comes near you' my inner voice mocked. I averted my gaze and he put me down, looking at this creature in front of me i can understand what Someshwar said is right. He thinks i was playing chase with him. Krisha is petting him with so much affection and he is loving it, i can see that. Ridhi save yourself!

"We have had him for so long now,still you get scared of BOSS everytime. Sorry dude."
Ridhi said looking at me then at Someshwar. Yeah, you and your beloved BOSS. I have nothing against pets but i am scared of dogs and she never gets it.
"His name is BOSS? That's a cool name."
"I know right, i named him Boss because just how Tarini can Boss around anyone and make them scared, She gets scared and bossed around by him only."
Krisha asked Ridhi and she answered, yeah go ahead tell everyone about it.
"Hi I'm Ridhi! And you?"
"Someshwar."
"That's a beautiful name."
"Thank you, please sit down."
They both shook hands and we decided to sit down on the chairs. Boss for once stay away from me don't come near my legs. I was about to get up from my seat but Someshwar is looking at me again... maybe i will continue to sit here.
'Are you scared of him or boss?' 'I am not scared of him? Why would i be?' 'Yeah i can see the effect.' 'Shut up!'
Shutting down the conflicts of my own thoughts, i saw Reena Aunty coming back while holding tray of cups. I have embarrassed myself today. I just hope i don't do it again.
"Namaste aunty ji."
"Namaste beta , you are...? "
"Oh i am Ridhi, Tarini is my sister also my best friend."
They both introduced each other and although i can't see her eyes directly i just know the look of them. It's because i feel the same when i talk about Ridhi. She's more than a friend, I have never had any sibling but her presence filled out that void completely.
