Love to be cared

For A Change

Reena reached his house with a blank mind as she was still unsure of her work for today.

"Reena! Here!" he said as she walked in the house.
She turned towards his direction and was shocked seeing his plight.

"Sir.... You're sweating a lot!" she exclaimed.

"Is that a joke Reena?" he asked wiping his face with a towel.

"Sir...." hesitated.

"I am completely drenched from top to bottom because of the kids at my house!"

"Kids? You have kids with you?" she asked looking around for any sign of kids.

"They are grown up kids. In fact, more grown up than me." he said looking at a specific direction.

Reena understands he was referring to the elders as she saw him looking at the elders who were looking timid and hiding themselves behind the pillars.

"Just give me two minutes Reena. Let me get changed." he said.

Reena nods her head in response and waits for him.

After few minutes,

Abhi comes dressed up in casuals. He then sits opposite to her.

"I am sorry Reena for making you wait." he said

"Sir...It's alright and I just waited for a while." she replied.

He smiles and says, "So let's get to the point. You see.... Like what you saw earlier of me. Something like that happens everyday. I mean its chaos Reena. I don't know from where these people get the energy from to argue, trouble each other.... I..."

"Sir.... Sorry to interrupt. I wish to tell something."

Abhi signals to carry on and she said, "I understand you're referring to the elders here. I know it could be worrying you of their behaviour but you're their energy to behave this way."

"Yes I know that Reena. But now I am concerned about it. At this rate, I am worried they would end up hurting themselves." he replied.

"I don't think such a thing would happen Sir..."

Abhi, "But there's no guarantee Reena. I just feel I need to take an action before it is too late. And that's why I sent you the email. I don't know who else is as responsible as you are and moreover you have seen Saro and the rest here. You can talk to them as well and then help me look out for a caretaker for the elders. But note one point, make sure the person is strict and friendly at the same time."

"But....Sir....my office work?" she asked.

Abhi, "I have checked your work progress. It seems you have completed most of them. As for the rest, I can handle it."

"Sir! No need for that sir. I can finish the rest as well."

Abhi, "Reena.... I said I can handle it. Moreover, it's not like I don't know how the work is done."
