Imposter for hire

Part 59.

Anika was on the carwash...washing cars and other vehicles which were popping in...as she was still looking for a job...she figured...she may help her father in the carwash as he drives people around.

A Mercedes Benz pops in her father's carwash....while she's inside finishing washing another client's car......Shakti and his friends are left perplexed at the same time awed because vehicles like this don't come around like this.

The man steps out of the car....with his shades on his face....he looks...he comes from an affluent family.

"Greetings sirs," man greeted.

They greeted him too.

"How may we be of help to you?" Shakti asked... because from the looks of it...he looks stranded.

"Actually...I was wondering....is their perhaps any mechanics here?" Man asked.

"What do you need a mechanic for?" Asked one of the men.

"Actually...I think my engines broke down....so are their any mechanics...who can fix it for me....I could use one right now," man replied.

"No....I don't think so....,"one of the men replied...Shakti interrupting him.

"Hold on a sec Pratik ( shakti's colleague)....I'll be back back...in the meantime you can have a seat," Shakti replied leaving.

He left.

He found Anika seated waiting for clients to chirp in.

"Dad...you're here... anything wrong....do you perhaps have any problem with your health?"Anika asked concerned.

"Relax dear....infact I have never felt better," Shakti replied.

"Huh...what are you implying?" Anika asked confused.

"Actually...you always complain that you graduated with a degree of mechanical engineering and you have never practiced the application you have learnt... isn't that right Anika?" Shakti asked.

"Yes," Anika replied still confused.

"Well...today is your day to shine...there is a customer who has a problem with his engine," Shakti explained.

"Really dad??!!" Anika asked enthusiastically.

"Tell me...why would I now come and go and make your papa proud," Shakti replied.

"I'll be right back...let me go and get my tools," Anika replied leaving.

Shakti went to the man.

"Sir....it's good you are here...what was taking you ages to come.....and where is the mechanic?" Man asked impatiently.

"Have some patience lad...the mechanic will be here soon...after all patience pays," Shakti replied.

Out of the blue Anika came with her tools.

"Am here...sorry for keeping you waiting sir....where should I start?" Anika asked.

"Sir....you got a be kidding... right....," man replied interrupted by Anika.

"What do you mean exactly??" Anika asked getting pissed off.

"Well...you are a girl....and I haven't met a girl mechanic before," Man replied.

"I see...you are a chauvinist....but hello...we aren't in the ancient times.... nowadays what a man can do a woman can do far much better....so what's it going to be sir...will you want me to do my work...or will you be bothered by a fact that am a girl," Anika replied.

The man was impressed and fascinated by her courage and  how feisty she was.

"Hello...( Anika snaps her fingers)....( Man: yes)....what's it going to be sir?" Anika asked curiously.

"I don't have any option do I...you may go on," Man replied.

"Good...now I will show you and prove to all the gents here...what a woman can really do...you just sit back and relax and watch the show," Anika replied.

"Do you need help in opening it?" Man asked.

"No...what did I say...sit like the rest of the gentlemen," Anika replied.

She opened it without any trouble...man wondering if she is superwoman.

The man was too engrossed on her....that he didn't know...she had finished.

"Hey Mr....what did I tell you....am done," Anika boasted.

"Already??" Man asked confused.

"Yeah...you can go and give a test drive with the engines to know...if all is well," Anika explained.

He did as he was told.

He started the engine and it started functioning.

All were impressed by Anika most especially Shakti.

He came out.

"Ooh wow...thank you...am sorry for how I reacted earlier...here you go ( offers her money)," Man replied.

Anika giving Shakti the money.

"So are we good?" Man asked.

"No worries we are good," Anika replied fist bumping him.

"Anyways....may I ask you something?" Man requested.

"Sure go ahead," Anika replied.

"Actually...the think is am looking for a P.a....as my assistant is currently on leave...is it impossible for you to take over,'' man explained.

"I love the offer...I really do...but my answer has to go with no... moreover I don't know anything to do with being an assistant...I have no qualifications," Anika explained.

"I understand....it's a pity...who can be my assistant....as I am going to be constantly interacting with Shivaay Singh Oberoi," Man replied.

"Am sorry did you mention Shivaay Singh Oberoi's name?"Anika asked confused.

"I sure did...do you know him perhaps?" Man asked curiously.

"Yes....I mean...who doesn't know the Oberoi family...in that case....I'll be your  P.a," Anika replied.

"Good...here's my card( gives her his card).

He bids goodbye and goes to his car.

Shakti comes to her.

"What did he say...and why are you happy ??" Shakti asked curiously.

"All I can say is that everything is finally taking it's course dad.... anyways I have to go back to the carwash a customer must be waiting," Anika replied leaving over the moon.

Shakti just watched her leaving confused and then went back to his work.
