EVENING 6:00

OFFICE-

AUTHOR'S POV

Ishinita knocks on Aadvik's cabin door

Aadvik- come in

Ishinita- Sir you have a party to attend at 7 today and it's 6 already. When can I leave?

Aadvik - what do you mean leave? You are coming with me.

Ishinita- Sorry sir, but I cannot come as I have to reach my house by 8 at the latest.

Aadvik- it was not a request. It was an order. I give you a salary for your work and not for making excuses.

Ishinita- Sir please understand I have to go.

Aadvik - Mr. Malhotra I do not like to repeat myself.

Ishinita- [in mind - haaye bholenath aaj bacha lena warna mere saath kya hoga mujhe bhi nahi pata] Ok sir.

Aadvik- go you may leave and also change to something party appropriate.

Ishinita- Sir this is all I have, and I will go in this only.

Aadvik- do you have some hearing problems? Because I said you will change and that's what you will do. Pack your things we have to go.

Ishinita- but...... Okay sir

Ishinita exits the cabin

As soon as she leaves the cabin, she calls her didi (elder sister)

Ishinita - Amu di aaj main late aaungi kyuki office mein kaam hai bohot.

Amrita - Ishu I understand but maa papa?

Ishinita - wahi toh dikkat hai didi aap hi batao main kya karu?

Amrita - Main ek kaam karti hu Rishi ko bolti hu woh sabko aaj party ke bahane kahi le jayega toh problem hi solve.

Ishinita - but agar Mr. and Mrs. malhotra ne kuch pucha toh? main ek kaam karti hu aa hi jaati hu

Amrita- Nahi ishu betu ye teri favorite company hai agar kaam se nikaal diya toh? Tu tension mat le main aur Rishi sambhaal lenge

Ishinita - Thanks didi aap dono nahi hote toh (speaking very emotionally almost crying)

Amrita - chup pagli tu bas kaam kar, ghar par toh hum tujhe bacha nhi paate teri kasam ki wajah atleast amin kuch toh kar saku tere liye. Ishu we both are very proud of you beta.

Ishinita - hmm... thanks didi. You both are the best. I love you so much.

They cut the call.

Ishinita is packing her stuff when the intercom rings

Aadvik - I am leaving, and you have 5 minutes to come to the parking or else you are fired.

Ishinita - Yes sir.

AFTER SOME TIME, THE CAR STOPS OUTSIDE AN EXPENSIVE-LOOKING BOUTIQUE

Ishinita - sir this looks expensive, and I do have not enough money.

Aadvik - Who said you have to pay?

Ishinita - huh what did you say, sir?

Aadvik - I mean some amount will be cut down from your salary every month.

Ishinita - this is not right sir (mummering)

Aadvik - did you say something?

Ishinita - no sir
