Love Dream Friendship

Chapter 17: Coffee and talks

Synopsis : Last episode we saw that JK reached his law firm... We introduced his assistant Shruti and we will see more in detail the relationship between her and her boss - JK...

**********************************

Shruti took her mug and sat down in the reception, expecting her Saar's call anytime. Rosh saw that Papa was reading the newspaper and she interrupted :

That you can read peacefully at night, as you do every day sir, saar.

JK: Give me my Red mug!!!

Rosh: No, I am having in it to see what is so special in that mug? and see it is Gora coffee and your Kala, nand la-la is in white. ( Rosh was unconsciously teasing Shiney when she meant Gora coffee and kala coffee). Whenever he came home during their Mumbai days, he used to ask Roshini for a cup of tea and would specifically say Ek Kala chai. Ravi would then immediately say Ek ghora chai.

JK sounding babyish: That Red is mine.

Though he was fifty now, he had mine and your- attitude. Yash shared his this quality. Rosh remembered when Ravi came to Mumbai to stay with them, Papa would always say to him :

"This is my house, my table and chairs, don't sit on it. This is my Almirah and you can't use it and my bed, dare you to sleep on it."

Ravi would then argue :

"Mucchad, I promise, I won't use your underwear and clothes because we have different sizes and laughed hard".

Papa would then run behind him and they both turned into boxers but Ravi always won in their fight. Always like Tom, Papa got into a soup.

Roshini distracted herself from the past that always dragged her and casually told:

Saaar: Finish your coffee fast, we have a lot of work.

JK in female voice: Yes, Madam, I know that...

Tell me your POA.

Rosh: I will work on the pointers that I have left yesterday within just ten minutes and then CV listing for lining up interviews for hiring a hot Vakil to JK's team and then plan my Monday.

JK was glad that like him, she was Focussed on what she handled! and strived hard to get complete success. He always took pride in his daughter, who behaved to be childish in front of him, but was mature to the outside world.

He said: Good, but I want CV first. Pointers you give me on Monday, we have this case on Monday afternoon right?

Roshini nodded and saw Papa had finished his coffee. She took both the Mugs and asked: SAAR, Can I send Shruti to you?

JK smiled and said: Stop making fun of that little one and do send my favourite in...

Shruti pushed open the Cabin door. JK always told her to show basic manners like: "May I come in?"

Shruti was least bothered about discipline. It was her habit to forget those four words that one asks while one enters into a senior's territory.

She would argue:

Saar, I feel like an L kg student when
I ask this silly permission.

No matter how hard JK tried, this girl remained least bothered and behaved as per her whims and fancies. JK had stopped telling her now but he often gave her an angry look for this behaviour. But today, was exceptional. As soon as she entered, he gave her a cool smile and she was confused. Rosh had told her that he was in the foul mood and being a law student, she doubted, if he was going to gave her termination letter!!!

She gave a blank expression and JK waved to her to come and sit. She opened his laptop, without uttering a word and said you have two emails that I feel needs to be answered today. She first took out a rude email from the prosecution side, for which she had already drafted a polite but tit for tat reply. She read it to JK and he was double happy with her. He took out a dark chocolate from his safe and handed it to her. She grabbed it quickly and said Thank you, at least she had that much manners. He said Thank you from me too, even my brains would not have worked out with an outsmart reply like this, girlie. I will buy some ice cream today and treat my smarty girls.

He muttered:

Girly, delete that Thanks and Regards, no need of that. Just my signature JK.

Shruti argued:Saar, we have to be formal while writing official emails.

JK: Is it? I am from Vernacular medium and you are from English medium. I don't know to draft a letter.

Shruti: No, you are excellent with your English, Saar.

JK: I think we should write No Thanks and Zero regards to people who are senseless, he grumbled.

Shruti laughed till her stomach hurt and said: Saar, I am your fan, though my batchmates call you Sharekhan, you are a simple man and I love your dialogues. You simply rock, Saar.

JK too laughed till his stomach hurt and said: What Dialogue, so you mean to say I am Bol Bachan?

Shruti was little serious now, she was confused. She was actually trying to tell her boss that he spreads a positive aura and has a charm in his voice. She said seriously :

I don't know if you are Bachan or Shahrukh, but my Saar Is the best....

JK: Please tell this in front of Roshini she calls me a lecturer and my Aki boy call it Pravachan, if I give him solutions or suggestions. I don't like to give advice. I believe we all are different individuals, with different mindsets and ideologies, but we must try to learn from each other. Never regret or look back. Good or bad things happen automatically but move with the flow. Time is a healer... He suddenly stopped and took a deep breath.

Shruti was worried, is he getting some respiratory issues, looking at the deep breath he took?

JK asked :Girly, I bored you????

Shruti: No, I like everything you say, I pray you get What you want in life? and silently in her heart, she prayed: Live Long.

JK was getting extra emotional and he asked :Will you cry, if I die?

He asked this question often to people who loved him. Some would shed tears on his silly question. Some gave him tit for tat

Shruti was witty while she said :Yes, because I Will lose my job...
