Hugs And Kisses Stars For Wishes

CHAPTER-23

He got out of the maroon Maruti and stared at the heep of people who were looking expectantly at him.

Suddenly he felt a tinge of nervousness, the hand that pressed his shoulders made him look back.

Turning he saw Munshi ji standing at the side of him. He knew he would be the greatest help in his working career. He had always been by his nanu's side and now he was sure that he would always be with him also.

Nanu trusted him more and he was quite confident on his guidance for Sameer in his business world.

Smiling at the middle aged man, Sameer looked back at the bunch of people.
He gave a warm smile looking at them and they all bombarded him with all the wishes, bouquets and we'll wishing cards.

Having been done with all the welcomings he stepped inside the office.
Railing his feet through the polished floor he took a look at the office all around.

The huge building contained 3 floors.
The ground floor was probably a place for the allotees who were to be often on run to the machinery phase to keep a check them.

He felt elated seeing them working sincerely.

Next he was dragged through the 1st floor.
The whole block was divided into cabins alloted for the interns.
Almost most of them were of his age, looking upon for a new life, just like him.

Smiling at them he got through the second floor, it was a floor alloted for those, who were often to be visited by the CEO. The ones who were to be conducting the presentations and the confidencial meetings.
Mostly the second floor remained with a hustle bustle.

When he reached the last 3rd floor, he again felt nervous.
It was the floor where his nanu had his cabin. He had not differentiated any of his employees. He treated all of them equally. He wondered whether he would be good as nanaji. Because he was the best, one and only antique piece he had,the world had.

Lost in his thoughts he reached his place.
There he stood before his nanu's cabin which was his now. He grazed the nameplate "JAYPRAKASH MAHESHWARI"
Below the one, was the one with "SAMEER JAIPRAKASH MAHESHWARI"
He insisted Munshi ji not to remove the nameplate of his nanu, he wanted his nanu to be always with him, like he had always been.

Promising himself to be good, though not as best as his nanu.. he entered the cabin.

Stepping up his feet, he felt his nanu. Ofcourse he had spent most of his years here. He took a look around the cabin. He had been here when he was too young. He could hardly remember anything. After years he had been here only now.

There was a wooden table with a glass patted a above it. Infront of it it had a rolling chair coated with a fluffy leathery material.
There were two more visitor chairs placed on the other side of the table.

One side of the room was arranged neatly in a book rack with the necessary important office files. The other end of the room had a couch, again with a small glass table before.

There were two large windows, which gave a brighter view of the indehiscent sky. Between the two windows hung the picture of his nanu.

He walked towards it and joined his hands closing his eyes.

Munshi ji who seemed to be a silent spectator understood his mind.

"Fikar mat kijiye beta..ap sab sambal lenge.." he concealed.

Looking back Sameer gave a knowing smile, "aap ho.. isiliye koi fikar nahi hai.. isiliye to bina kuch tayaari ke aaya hoon"
He winked at him.

This boy had not changed, he's the same chirpy charming one. But there were two major changes in him. He was being childish and chirpy but also his voice had a machured responsible tone.
And second, the loneliness he sensed before was no more in his voice. He was happy, very happy.
