Dhup se hi dhal diye ,
Bhuj jaye khwaishein , soch na paye ye,
Bairi jo ban gya skha... "

(I was doing her work in the office, which was to be submitted tomorrow and was to design the parts of space craft they were launching. )

"Huh!! " I took a sigh.

" I am too exhausted and didn't even slept for days. Duhh.. !!" I said
(massaging my head) as I was heaving a headache from morning due to unrest and that's my week point. When I was a child I used to get headache and fever due to unrest.

(My office's door got opened.) It was my coulegue and a close friend , her name is Shweta . She's a consoling friend although I didn't got a chance to get consoled by her, I got to know about her from others , she's too friendly and works in the other department which deals which software.
Even her presence made me calm .

She sat beside me on couch and asked , " When are you going to be free!? " .

I said , " just half an hour and I'll be finished " .

She nodded ,took her phone out and started scrolling.

*After 45 minutes*

" Atlast it's done . Im free now!" I said with a sigh of relief . Shweta stood and told me "c'mon then. Let's go for a dinner . It's 9 o'clock too late . Be fast "
I nodded and left my chair taking my bag and glasses from the table and run towards her.
Shweta was waiting for me in the lift then I drove us to our usual restaurant.
We sat in that and sighed as we were late but managed to come on time as it might be closed this late.
We ordered some dumplings , soup and tea of course. While Shweta was taking pics of the food .

I got a call from my sister ," Di! Listen! "

I hummed and said , "bol!?" (Say)

She said , " my recharge got finished and I had a quarrel with our parents "

I asked , " Then , what !? "

She said , " please di recharge krdo! "(Please do my recharge)

I said, " ok then! But in morning"

She exclaimed , " subah kyn?? " ( Why morning?)

I said with a sigh , " it's late and I know u'll scroll your phone , go and sleep , good night"

She said with sorrowfull voice , " please abhi , please behn !" (Please now , please sister)

" No not now , just sleep and hang up the call , it's late !" I exclaimed.

"OoHkh!"

I hung up the call..

Shweta , " who was it!?"

Me , " Meri behn yaar . She's asking to do her recharge" ( my sister)

Shweta , "you rejected , why?"

Me , " ab tu bhi usi ke jaise?" (Now you're behaving like her too)

"She's been too much on her phone recently. I didn't declined but I won't do it now!"

Shweta , "OoOohh!"

I asked , " Can we eat now? Im too exhausted dude , my hunger is hypnotysing me "
