It was around 9.30, she reached her office. "Hey zo... how come your late today?" A colleague asked her and she looked at her confused,"what's so special today?" Asked zoya.
"Our CEO has arranged a meeting in a few minutes. Come let's go. It's already time" said Navya. "Give me a second" Zoya said and silenced her phone."let's go" zoya said and both walked in the elevator.
Zoya POV
"Good morning everybody" Mr. Kashyap said and took his seat. He was around 70 years and he had no big family but only his wife. "Coming to the point, we're merging our company with ZoA company which started around two years ago. And I'll be no more your CEO. I'm handing over the company" he said and we heard gasps.
"Sir...." a manager tried to speak but he showed his palm saying him to shut and sit. Our CEO was a very friendly person. He's the one who got me this job. I mean he gave. All because of that day.....
Dont think about that zoya.
"Zoya....come here" he called me when I was walking out of the office to the main gate. "Yes, sir" I asked and he patted my head and said,"we're out of the office remember?" He asked and I bit my tongue and said,"sorry, uncle..."
He then gave a playful slap and said,"shall we.... ma'am?" he asked in a formal gesture and I played along,"sure" and giggled.
We slowly walked in the house not wanting to wake her who was sleeping on the couch. "Where do you'll think you guys are going?" We both turned and looked down. I slowly turned my head to the left to find uncle giving a 'please save me'look and I gave a 'helpless' look ,back.
"I'm here, answer me" she said and uncle gave a wink and said,"my baby looks more beautiful when she glares, you know zoya?" He said and walked to aunty and held her close. She didnt move nor removed her glare off but I saw a tint of pink on her cheek.
"Aww... your baby is blushing, uncle" I said playing along. "Shut up you both.today also you'll are late." She said and we both looked at eachother and then at aunty. "Soon,freshen up and come. I'll heat the food." She said and left. "Love you honey"uncle said but aunty didnt even turn around.
I looked at uncle who had a childish pout. "Come, let's hurry up. I'm hungry" I said and uncle nodded and we went to freshen up.
"Yummm.... aunty I really missed this indian food." I said and aunty smiled. "I miss India" aunty said and uncle nodded. "Why not a trip to india? " uncle said and aunty looked at him unbelieving. Her eyes were twinkling. "Really?" She asked and uncle nodded. She soon stood up and hugged him.
"Zoya is here" uncle said and aunty pulled back and sat on the chair blushing a little. "Hmm... mala... you remember my friend from the orphanage? Harsh" she nodded and even I looked up from the plate. Uncle had told me he has a dearest friend in India. They grew up together in the orphanage.
After uncle graduated, he met aunty and fall in love.they both got married and here they are living in New York.
"His son would be taking over the company. I invited him to stay at our house. We have only us. We three are very little for this big house." He said and aunty said,"since he's a guy, we must ask zoya too" aunty said and both gazes turned to me.
"What? Of course. He's your guest" I said and smiled at them.they were so caring. They loved me as if I'm their own daughter. If I hadn't met them that day, dont know where I'd be standing today. *sigh*
"Zoya beta.... me and your aunty thought of going to india for a month or so. Well.... today noon, my friend's son also your new boss will be coming here. In the evening well board our plane and if you dont mind....can you show him the office tomorrow?" Uncle asked.
