Next day, Nupur woke up early. She got ready to go to the office. She collected all the documents, checked twice and called Diya. Diya picked up the phone.
D: Hey, Nupur, Good Morning.
N: Good Morning, Diya. So are you ready?
D: Yes, I will come to your place at 10:00 and we will go together.
N: Okay, I am waiting.
She sat on PC. It was still 9:00. Diya will come after an hour.
As she entered the forum, she sees the offline message of AmmyRocks.
A: Hey, Basket, How are you? What happened? Did you get a job? I am here till 9:45. Then I will leave for office. If you come, then let me know, ok?
She replied.
R: Hey, Arman, I got the job. I am sooooooo muh happy. You know, kal raat se hi mre mood off that. Thank God, I am chatting with you. Now my mood will improve a lot. So my whole day will not be ruined.
A: What's the matter, basket? Anything wrong?
R: Kuchh nahi, chhodo. You tell me, did you like yesterday's episode?
A: Of course, basket. I loved AR dance. Besides Salsa is my favourite.
R: Me too. I wish, I can do a romantic salsa dance with MY Arman.
A: Right. Hey, I wanted to tell you something.
R: What?
A: I don't know what to tell you, but I think I found my Ridhima.
R: Really? Owww.. I am so much happy for you. Congrats. How is she?
A: She is so beautiful, shy, good natured. I have met her thrice only. May be now I will meet her today.
R: Hmm… Great. Do tell me at night, what happened. Does she love you, too? Did you tell her?
A: Hello, I don't know her name. I haven't told her. I just started liking her. That's it. I am not even sure that what is this.
R: Ok… Mr. Arman. Then have patience.
A: That's what I will do. So, did you find your Arman, Basket?
R: Nahi, yaar. Ab lagta he raat ko candle leke use dhundhne jaugi.
A: Oh, really? Then sing a song. Gumnam he koi…
R: Anjan he koi…
They keep chatting in this way and they have so much fun in that time. Then it's 9:45.
A: Hey, now it's time to go.
R: Oh? Is it already 9:45?
A: yes, bye.
R: I will miss you, Arman.
A: Me too. Bye. Take care.
R: Bye.
As soon as she was shutting down the PC, Diya's voice came.
D: Nupur, Are you ready?
N: Yes, Diya, I am ready. Let's go.
They leave for the office and soon they were there.
N: Diya, I am feeling nervous.
D: Nupur, Are you mad? Dear, We are already selected in the interview. Now why are you nervous?
N: I don't know Diya, but thoda darr lag raha he.
D: Relax, Nupur. Chup chap upar chalo. Tum kyu darr rahi ho?
N: Pata nahi, Diya, sab colleagues kese hoge? Work environment keas hoga? Aur hamare koi dost bhi banega ya nahi? Aur fir…
D: Nupur, Nupur, Nupur…. Chill. Okay, we reached the 8th floor. Here is the HR department. We have to submit our documents to Mr. Vyas only.
N: Ha, chalo.
They go to Mr. Vyas's cabin.
Mr.Vyas collects their documents, give them an offer letter and then he tells them to go downwards and meet the head of the software department.
Nupur and Diya reaches the 7th floor, and asks the receptionist to guide them. But the head of software department, Mr.Parikh was not present in the office. The receptionist is confused what to do now. Then only she notices Mayank passing from there.
R: Mayank sir?
M: Yes, Shikha?
And then as he comes to the reception counter, he sees Nupur and other girl with her.
M: Oh, hi. How are you?
Nupur was angry seeing Mayank, but before she could speak anything, the receptionist spoke up.
S: Great, you know each other. Fantastic. Sir, They both have been selected in your department. So please help them and show them the office. Introduce them to some of the guys and girls who can help them. Mr. Parikh is not here. He will come in an hour or so. Until then please take their care. Ok?
M: Sure, Shikha. I don't mind at all. I will show them the office now. Let's go.
Shikha goes for completing some work somewhere else.
As Shikha leaves, Nupur turns angrily towards Mayank.
N: Tum khud ko samajte kya ho?
M: Pardon? (He was taken aback. What he had done?)
N: I mean, jab dekho, muj se kahi bhi mil jate ho, aur kal restaurant me bhi?
M: Oh, hey, sorry, hamare parcels exchange ho gaye the. But I enjoyed.
N: ha ha, tum to enjoy karoge hi na? Mera Chinese. Sab tum kha gaye hoge, he na?
M: Are, but meri baat to suno.
N: muje kuchh nahi sunna he.
M: Thik he, to fir at least office me sab dekh to lo.
N: Muje tumhare sath kahi nahi aana he. Diya, tumhe jo karna he karo, me jaa rahi hu.
She goes out and Mayank was left dumbstruck. So was Diya.
M: Are, Anamika…
D: Nupur suno to…
M: Nupur?
D: Anamika?
M: Ha.. wo muje uska naam nahi pata tha na, isi liye.
D: Ajib ho aap bhi. Me Diya hu. Uski best friend. Me use janti hu. Vo 10 minutes terrace par jayegi aur vapis aa jayegi.
M: Ok, let's go.
Mayank was about to take Diya to the inner side, when he stopped suddenly. "TERRACE?"
D: Ha, kyun? (Confused)
M: Look, Diya, Abhi terrace par construction ki vajah se jana safe nahi he. Koi bhi gir sakta he.
And before Diya can understand, Mayank was running to the stairs.
He reached the terrace and tried to find out Nupur. (The terrace was quite big.) Suddenly he heard Nupur's voice.
N: Koi he? Help…
Mayank ran towards the voice. He saw that she was about to fall and he grabbed her fast, and slowly brought her up back. As Nupur came back, she was crying badly. She hugged Mayank. Mayank was taken aback by this. He consoled her. "It's okay, Nupur. You are fine. See, nothing happened"
She broke the hug.
N: Thanks, Mayank.
M: You are welcome.
N: I am sorry for my behavior.
And before Mayank can reply, she left from the terrace.
Then Mayank showed Nupur and Diya whole the office, and introduced them to everyone in the office. But Nupur didn't speak much. Mayank was astounded by her behavior. Before some time, she was angry like anything, and now... she was not speaking anything except Hi and Hello to anyone. Girls can be so strange sometimes.
He then asked Shikha if Mr. Parikh was back. He was back, so Mayank took them to his cabin.
MP: Oh, Mayank Sharma, come. What's the matter?
M: Actually, These are the new joinees in our department, sir. Miss Nupur and Miss Diya.
MP: Oh, yes. I got the news. So Miss Nupur Bhiushan and Miss Diya Malhotra, you will join tomorrow, on April 1^st , Right?
N: Yes, sir.
MP: Good, I hope, Mayank treated you well and introduced to everyone?
Nupur didn't answer. So finally Diya spoke.
D: Yes, sir. He introduces us to evryone and showed us the office.
MP: I know. He is a good boy. If you need anything, or if you have any difficulty in the work or the system of our office, you can ask him. Right, Mayank?
M: Of course, sir, That will be my pleasure.
N: Sir, what are the timings?
The phone rings.
MP: Oh, Excuse me, Mayank, please help them. I have some important work.
M: Sure sir, have a good day.
Mayank, Nupur and Diya came out of the cabin.
M: Timings are from 10:00 to 7:00. If you want to leave soon, you have to come soon. Like, 9:30 to 6:30. And the lunch break is 12:30 to 1:30. he tea break will be 4:00 to 4:30. Saturday is half-day, and the timings are 10:00 to 4:00. Sunday is holiday. Anything else you want to know?
N: No, Thanks.
M: You are welcome.
Just then Pranav came.
P: Hey, Mayank. I just came. You know, I had gone in the marriage.
M: Yes, I know. Anyways, meet the new joinees. Miss Nupur, and Miss Diya. Nupur, Diya, This is Pranav, my friend and colleague.
P: Oh, hello.
N&D: hi.
P: Ok, Mayank, come soon in the canteen. I want to talk to you. I am waiting in the cantee. Bye.
Pranav left for the canteen.
M: Ok, now if you have any work here, then I can help you. Otherwise, you can also come in the canteen if you want.
D: Yes, I am hungry.
N: No, My mom is waiting, Diya, Let's go.
D: Okay, let's go.
N: Bye, Thanks.
M: Bye.
D: Bye, Mayank.
M: Bye, see you tomorrow.
N( Murmuring): My bad luck.
M: Did you say something?
N: Nothing. It will be fun to work here.
M: Definitely. And you are entering at the right time.
N: Means?
M: Means that...
Shikha came.
S: Mayank Sir, Mr. Parikh is calling you immediately.
M: Ok, I am coming.
He went from there
N: What did he mean?
D: Chhodo na, I am damn hungry. Let's go.
They went their home.
At night:
Nupur and Mayank started chatting.
R: So, mili tumhe tumhari Ridzy?
A: Ha, Basket, but she behaved so strangely, yaar.
R: Why?
A: She fought with me, and then after some time she was so quite. Didn't say a single word more than necessary. She will join from tomorrow.
R: Great going. But why did she behave so strangely?
A: How can I know, Basket?
R: You must have hurt her.
A: No ways, I even helped her.
R: Then she must be Miss Attitude.
A: Basket, Don't call her that.Ok?
R: Ok, ok, sorry.
A: Hmm. Jao, maaf kiya.
R: Thanks. Ab me chalti hu. It's 10:00 already, I am feeling sleepy now.
A: Ok, Me too being off.
R: Bye, Good night, and Ahem.. Sweet dreams, Arman.

A: Basket, jao na.
R: Me kyu pehle jau? Tum jao na?
A: Tum.
R: Tum.
A: Tum.
R: Ok, pehle tum pehle tum me kahi gadi na chhut jaye. Me jaa rahi hu.
