chapter eleven: Shift and allocation

RAJVEER

He was running for his morning tea when he spotted her...clad in loose top and jeans. Then what he saw next just caused him to drop his tea..

'Are puttar! Dhyaan kitthe he? Oyee ..khoteya' suriji called for orderly working in mess '...raj puttar ke liye dusri chai laa...'

In reply Raj just smiled weakly. He could not tell suriji that in front of him, his wife had just jumped into someone' arms. Be it Alekh but he had never expected her to be this much impulsive. The way Alekh had told her something and the very next moment she jumped into his arms hugging him tightly just caught him off guard.

He took the tea and was about to settle for drinking it silently, when someone stopped him.

'Ye kya tareeka he lt?'

'Ashi...Naam he mera. Aur ye kya tareeka he seniors ka! Juniors ko puchte hi nahi? Aapki biwi ko sau bar lunch ke liye bola..me nanhi jaan yaha is bhare KMA me akele bore ho jati hu socha company milegi...lekin wo....wo to susheel gharelu aurat he...Kamre me ghus jati he. Ab Aap to ek cup coffee pila do....sirrrr.'

'Look.'

'Ha dekh to rahi hu...hot lagte ho..Lekin ye samajh nahi aata is hotness ka karte kya ho? Biwi se to sau feet door rahte ho...kya akele akele temperature girate ho aap?'

'What nonsense! You know I cam get you fired!'

'Ha to karo na....fire kya angaare bhi ....Lekin kya fayda aisi surat ka ki seerat hi na ho. Abhi kal mere ko ek cadet ne bola ki aap apni biwi ko akela chhod aaye. Batao...Kya jamana aa gaya he...pahle Ram ko sita milti thi...Aajkal Raam Raheem bhi line me he. Mere ko kya! Me to wese bhi mard jaat par bharosa nahi karti...kya pata kab kaun sa naya bhakheda khada kar de. Upar se ye duniya....sali jeene hi nahi deti. Aap bhi mere sath himalay chalo..yoga aur asan karenge. Sirrr. Aur wese bhi ye shadi ka lafda hota hi bekar he....aapko talaq chahiye? Me dilwa sakti hu..Khair chhodo. Aap to bade hi unresponsive ho. Ek cup coffee ke liye bhi na poocha..jaao sir. Akele kisi kone me ghus kar apni ye kadak chai piyo.....kahi najar na lag jaaye ise!'

And in seconds she left.

For a moment he was surprised. Next moment he was angry and the next moment he was afraid. The very next moment he was ashamed...and finally he was out of his wit.

Shal had said right. People were talking. So he needed to lessen the gossip. Hence he turned to the table where a chirpy shal and smug alekh and smiling her were chatting.

'Dekho isko. Kaun kahega ki biwi se itna pyaar karne ke baawjood he took six years! Alekh...Tu bas phone-romance tak limited tha kya? Shal....Kahi aisa to nahi...sms kahi ka aur delivery kahi aur!'

He heard her....and again he was astonished. He never took her for being this type of girl. This type of messing with her brother....he never thought.

Shal was laughing while alekh was shooting glares.

'Jyada bolegi na...to tere sare purane chhithe khol dunga ki kaise Naveen ke sath milkar tune Shalu ke ghar phobe kiya tha ki uska kych lafda chal rha he KMA me!'

'Ohhhh noo...it were you! Nainaaa...I am gonna kill you now. My dad were hell bent on knowing about my non existent lover. Ruko tum abhi.'

He saw shal approaching her while she ducked her and left her seat. Still laughing..

'Kya shal! Itna to chalta he...hehehehe. Naveen ne suriji ki kya mimicry ki thi..damn! Aur I was Lolita ma'am.' He saw her bending little on her left while putting one gand on her hip. Just like lolita ma'am' pose.

'Cadet Shalini Aajkal bahut ghoom rahi he. Dekhiye.. ye hamari jimmedari nahi he! Aap aayiye aur inka ghooma band karayiye.'

'Nainaaaa...tum idhar aao bas. I am gonna teach you a lesson.'
