Currently, we are sitting in the cafe waiting for our clients.
When Adi announces, "After this, we're so going shopping ."
Hearing this I look at Maanu to assert 'not again.'Adi tends to have a carefree nature and according to her, she can't fake her enthusiasm with clients.
So she tries to stay away from events as much as she can."Adi if I'm not wrong we went shopping last weekend isn't it? " I ask her.
"Oh please P it was last weekend, which means 4 days ago and everyday new fashion is launched," she says in a duh tone.I don't know how to say, but I try"Adi you know our business is not so well off we are still surviving in the market. We can't pay other expenses right now. "
A look of despair passes on her face and for a while, she was in deep thought, Then she announces, "okay guys I got an idea, I'm gonna work part-time and earn some extra cash ."
I look at her and nod my head in encouragement because I know Adi still needs to find something that she loves to do. Maanu and I, we're very much passionate about our work but on the other hand, Adi looks lost sometimes.
I just pray to god for her to find her passion soon.
"So what field are you going to pursue?" I ask eagerly.
"I will try in fashion and then see what else." She replies nonchalantly.
"Where in fashion?" Maanya inquires.
"Obviously a salesgirl, what else position would an uneducated girl like me will get?" She scoffs.
"You are not illiterate, you just don't have your certificates with you." I interfere.
"The same thing," she mumbles casually. But I know inside she is humiliated because people always judge her for that.
Before I can console her, Sofia, the waitress in the cafe announces the arrival of our guests.
We stand up to greet them, Our clients are a couple in their early thirties.
Who are here to hire us to plan a birthday party for their soon to be three-year-old daughter. I hope it goes well.Just as they take a seat at the table, Aditi saunters to the kitchen probably to leave us alone or to talk to Aunty and Nona.
"I hope you didn't have any problem arriving." I start a conversation politely.
"Oh no, this cafe seems to be pretty popular in this area." Mr.Shekhawat acknowledge.
We smile proudly, hearing good words about the cafe feels incredible. It is when Sofia walks towards us with glasses of water.
"So tea, coffee, or something else?" I ask around.
"Oh, no need. Thank you." Mrs.Shekhawat politely decline.
"I insist, we make the best coffee and sandwiches. Please try." I insist. When they pass a nod, I ask Sofia to bring us four coffees and sandwiches.
When she left, Mrs.Shekhawat talk, "We have heard about you guys from a friend."
"We even attended an event of yours, a few days ago, and instantly liked your work" added Mr. Shekhawat.
"Thank you, sir, we work to give the result that our clients expect from us" I reply with a sweet smile.
"And we saw that in your work." Mr.Shekhawat acknowledge.
I smile delightedly.
We discuss more about our previous events when our coffee arrives.
"I hope there is no problem for you if we drop by tomorrow to check the venue?" Maanu asks after an extended silence.
"No please be there whenever you can." Mrs. Shekhawat reply with a smile. I really like this couple, they are very generous.We shake hands and they depart.
"I'm so excited," Maanya exclaims when they leave.
"Me too, I can feel this is a life-changing event for us," I confess pleased.
"So I heard you bag the deal?" Aditi exclaims walking towards us.
"Were you eavesdropping?" I tease, to which she shrugs me off and passes a smile to a guy, who is looking at her for a while now.
The guy is so stunned that he drops his juice on himself causing patrons to look at him weirdly.
I see the poor guy looking around embarrassed.
He rushes past us towards the counter and hastily pays.
"This was fun," Adi exclaims sarcastically. I just laugh at her antics and turn towards Maanu to announce "So tomorrow 11'o clock we will visit their place to check the site?"
"Oh, I have news," Aditi exclaims excitedly.
"I have a job interview tomorrow," she announces excitedly.
"Oh wow, we are so happy for you." Maanu expresses pulling Aditi for a hug.
I extend my arms and snuggle them to me. Satisfied today we all took a step towards our success.
__________________________________Later that day, we finished all our tasks and assisted in the cafe, and then left for our home.
Upon entering our apartment building I see Neel leaning on our apartment door and whistling.
Noticing him Adi rushes to him and fondles him while saying "Hi baby blue" and que my eyeroll. The only satisfying thing is Neel's irritation when Aditi calls him that.
Neel being our neighbour, tugs Aditi inside his apartment.Maanu and I enter our apartment and I let out, "So it's just you and me? " to which Maanu responds, "Ya let's change and then watch the reruns of our favourite show." I nod and walk to my room to grab my pyjamas and then rush towards the washroom before Maanu could.
I immediately lock the door when I see her running towards me.
"Paakhii!! This isn't fair." She yells banging on the washroom door, I chuckle and say "Sorry babe this is payback for today morning."
I hear her mumbling something, soon followed by her retreating footsteps.
I enjoy my shower with my favourite blueberry-scented soap.
After my shower, I decide to order food because I ain't in the mood to cook. And choose to watch episodes of Two broke girls.
"Oh it feels so good after a long shower" I heard Maanu beside me. She throws her towel on the other couch and falls back beside me with a thud.
"And I ordered food," I exclaim grinning. "Oh, Paakhi I love youuu!!!! Marry me" she says hugging me. I hug her back and we both get lost in Max and Caroline's banter.
