PART 6
The night was calm that brought with it peaceful dreams and relaxation.
The sun's rays through the windows decided to wake Aman up before he actually intended to.
As the rays fell on Aman's face he was brought back to reality after long hours of dreaming and seeing Ainun, with her concealed face in them.
The moment he opened his eyes, Aman expected like all other fellow dreamers in love to see Ainun's face, but was nearly given a cardiac arrest with what he saw.
" I'm sure your happy." Said Karan, his face inches away from Aman's
" Not with you right in front of me and scaring the living day light out of me!!" Aman said as he pulled himself up, because seeing Karan that close to him, he fell back on his pillow.
" Don't lie bro, what would it have done to cover up for me yesterday?"
" Nothing actually, but I wanted you to learn your lesson. And Karan have you?"
" No!! I'm just angry you did not cover up for me."
" You know Karan, I've been covering up for you all these years, its time now that u either learn to cover up your own self or don't do anything that needs covering up. And my advice go with the second." Aman said as he rubbed his eyes, to drive away the sleep in them.
" Hey Karan, by the way what's the time?"
" Its 5."
Aman's eyes opened wide as his brain interpreted Karan's words
Aman got up and said, " Get out, get out of my room, and don't you dare step back inside until 8.I'm not getting up until 7 and Karan please get some sleep and allow me to sleep for the next two hours IN PEACE".
" Fine bro, I'm going, but listen, wait for me today, because of you, I'll be working with you at office today."
" There goes an entire day filled with work down the drain."
" You said something?"
" Did you hear anything?"
" No."
" Then I did not say anything and now leave."
" Fine, good night bro." Karan said as he left, and as a huge smile of satisfaction crept up on his face, the satisfaction of waking his brother from sleep.
" Good ten minutes of my sleep, ruined!" Aman said to himself as he tried to get back to sleep, in which he succeeded in no time.
Then when his alarm rang, he woke up fresh and dynamic like never before, showered, and before no time he was getting down for breakfast.
" Hi bro, your on time for breakfast."
" I am very hungry, come lets eat."
" No let mom and dad come, I want all of us to eat together."
" Why is it something important?"
" Yeah, the breakfast, Mr. Aman Kapoor that you will be tasting shortly, was prepared by me." Karan said, his voice filled with pride. " My ' punishment' from yesterday."
" I think I'll skip breakfast today."
" Why?"
" Karan I want to get to work, not to the hospital, where is exactly where I will be going, if I eat what you have made."
" Shut up and eat your breakfast bro." Karan said with a smile that said, ' now you know whose punishment it is.'
Soon their parents were down and served.
They had aloo ke parathe that morning.
Aman tasted his and said, " Mom, has the prices for potatoes gone up?"
" No, but why do you ask Aman?"
" I don't find any aloo in my aloo ka paratha." Aman said with his eyebrow raised, and his eyes pointing straight at Karan.
Karan almost spat out the juice he was drinking.
" I knew I was forgetting something, thanks bro, from now on I'll remember to be sure that there is aloo in the parathas."
The entire family started laughing, and their breakfast ended with a happy note.
Aman and Karan left together in Aman's car towards work.
" Karan do tell me where were you yesterday?" Aman asked on their way.
" Sorry bro, no can do. I'll answer this question when time comes."
" Are you sure? You might need my help if you get into trouble, which I am sure you will."
" Chill brother, there's no trouble and there won't be."
So the rest of the way the brothers spoke to each other about things they always liked, like sports, the government, movies and so on.
Once they reached their work place, Aman parked the car and Karan went right on inside.
Aman showed Karan his room and what work he will be doing and telling him that he will have to do it with interest and has to do it correctly.
After giving all the instructions, Aman went to his own room to look after some interviews.
An hour has passed and no candidate had been selected.
Then it was the last candidate,
" May I come in sir?"
" Sure."
Aman was busy with his laptop that he did not look up at the candidate.
" Sir, my name is Ainun Hasna."
Aman's fingers that were moving rapidly over the keyboard stopped instantaneously and looked up at the girl right in front of her.
As usual her face was covered, she had used her duppata for the job, and she was dressed in a very pleasant color of black.
Hey eyes were just as lovely as ever, and they were the center of magnetism.

" Sir, these are my files and I'll give more info on myself once you have gone through them."
Aman took the file from her and went through it page by page.
Aman looked into Ainun's eyes before he started reading the file, and in them he could see genuineness, honesty, and the determination to do, not a good, but a great job.
Ainun, he discovered is a CA and has got the best of experiences from a lot of different but high rated companies.
" I've gone through your file, and no additional information would be required, but do tell me what are your expectations about the salary."
Aman and Ainun continued discussing the salary and the amount of it, and to Aman's surprise, Ainun was not in a mind set to demand for more, on the contrary it was Aman that tried to boost her salary, because he knew she deserved more than he demanded.
" Its all set Ms.Ainun, you can start working here from tomorrow."
" Thank you sir." Said Ainun as she got up to leave.
Aman looked into her eyes and he saw approval in them, and he deduced it that he had made an impression on her.
" Mission accomplished." Thought Aman.
