EK ANOKHI KAHAANI - Part 2
The person in front stood up as he realised it was the same girl he had ran into some time ago.
He said to himself "Oh God!! Yeh ladki yahan kya kar rahi hai?"
Aastha : Hello Mister!! Main 'aap' se baat kar rahi hoon!! Let me tell you, ke yeh Mr. Shlok Agnihotri ka cabin hai!! Andar aate samay toh aap ne darwaze pe name plate padha hi hoga!!
Person : (sarcastically) Oh really?!! Mujhe pata nahi tha... Thank you for informing!! Ab aap jaa sakti hain!!
Aastha felt insulted. She roared back at him...
Aastha : Excuse me!! (she banged her file on the table) Now it is my turn for the interview!! And I am not going anywhere till I am done with it!! Aur tum hote kaun ho mujhe aise nikaalne waale?
The person kept staring at her in anger.
Aastha : Mercedes mein ghoomte ho iska mutlab yeh to nahi ke...
She stopped suddenly and was lost in her thought... "Mercedes!! OMG! Kahin yehi Mr. Shlok... nahi nahi, yeh Mr.Shlok toh nahi lagte... lekin ho bhi sakte hain.."
Just then a clerk came in with a file...
Clerk : Shlok Sir, aap ki sign chahiye thi...
Shlok signed on the papers and the clerk left.
Aastha was tensed after seeing all this. "How stupid of me!! Yeh kya kar diya tum ne Aastha... Ab kya hoga! Bappa please mujhe bacha lena..."
She looked at Shlok who was staring back at her in anger. She somehow managed to speak...
Aastha : (scared) I am s..sorry Sir... woh actually mujhe pata nahi tha ke aap hi...
Shlok : (interrupting in a stern tone) Shlok Niranjan Agnihotri main hi hoon!! Now you may leave!!
Aastha : Sorry Sir! I am really sorry! Sir, please... aap aise nahi kar sakte Sir! Aap bina mera interview liye mujhe jaane ke liye nahi keh sakte Sir! This is injustice to me!
Shlok sat down in anger. He began doing some work on his laptop, ignoring Aastha. Aastha went on...
Aastha : Sir please, ek baar sun toh lijeeye...
Shlok raised in anger...
Shlok : Aur kuchh baaki hai kehne ke liye?!!
Aastha was taken aback. But she didnt give up...
Aastha : Sir, you can't reject me on the basis of whatever happened till now! Aap ek baar meri kaabiliyat aur mera kaam toh dekh leejiye!!
Shlok : (angry) Don't you understand when told once? Please leave!!
Aastha : (in low tone) hunh!! Akdu khadoos!!
Shlok : Kya? Kya kaha tum ne?
Aastha : K..kuchh nahi!!
Shlok : (serious) Many people are waiting outside for their turn. You are wasting time!!
Aastha : (angry) Main bhi koi mari nahi jaa rahi hoon aapki company mein kaam karne ke liye!!
Shlok : Waise bhi, tum jaisi ladki ko job pe rakh ke mujhe yeh company dubaane ka koi shauk nahi hai!!!
Aastha had not expected such an insult. She slowly took steps backward one by one, her eyes filled with tears. She somehow managed to hold her tears from rolling down and ran out of the cabin. Everyone stared at her as she came out. The next person was called in and the interviews continued!
Here, Shruti was done with her interview and came out happy, as if she had already got the job! She searched for Aastha but couldn't find her. She asked at the reception but got a negative reply. So, she called on Aastha's number which was switched off. Now she was tensed. "Yeh Aastha kahan chali gayi?" She dialed Aastha's residence number. Aastha's mother, Kalindi, recieved the call.
Shruti : Hello Kaku, Aastha ka phone nahi lug raha hai... Kya woh ghar pe hai?
Kalindi : Haan beta, ghar toh aayi hai! Lekin pata nahi kya hua hai usay... jab se aayi hai kamre se bahar hi nahi nikal rahi hai! Poochh poochh ke thak gayi hoon main! Kuchh bata bhi nahi rahi!
Shruti : Dont worry Kaku, main abhi aati hoon!!
The call ended.
Shruti reached Aastha's residence. She went to her room and knocked the door. Shruti was very excited to tell Aastha about how her interview went.
Shruti : Aastha? Open the door yaar... What happened?
Aastha wiped her tears and opened the door trying to be normal.
Both sat on the bed.
Shruti : Why did you come here without telling me? Mere liye wait bhi nahi kiya!!
Aastha : Woh.. buss aise hi...
Shruti : Tujhe pata hai, my interview was superb!! Woh jo Rahul Sir thay na, jo interview le rahe thay, he is such a nice guy!! I mean, he didn't at all made me feel nervous! And he was very impressed with me and my work till now! I am hoping that I get this job. Mujhe lagta hai mujhe yeh job mil jaayega!!
Aastha tried to be happy for her, but she could not hide her sorrow.
Shruti : Sorry yaar, main apna hi batati rahi... Kya hua Aastha? Tum...
And before she could complete, Aastha hugged her and began crying.
Aastha : (while crying) Sab gadbad ho gayi... Main gadhi hoon... Sab meri wajah se hua... Aur woh khadoos, I just hate him!!
Shruti : Aastha, shant ho jaa... bata toh sahi ki hua kya!!
Aastha narrated everything. Meanwhile, Kalindi brought juice for both the girls and listened to the whole incident.
Kalindi : Bolne se pehele kuchh toh socha karo Aastha!!
Aastha : Lekin Aai, galti unki bhi toh thi!!
Kalindi : Lekin job toh tumhein gawana pada na!!
Aastha began crying again. Shruti and Kalindi tried to console Aastha saying she will get an opportunity for a better job one day. Shruti left with a heavy heart. Their dream of working together was into pieces.
The next day arrived. The phone began ringing. Aastha was still in her bed. Kalindi picked up the phone...
Kalindi : Hello!... jee haan, Aastha hai... ek minute! (to Aastha, keeping her hand on the speaker) Aastha!! Tumhaare liye phone hai...!
Aastha came on the line...
Aastha : Hello, Aastha bol rahi hoon!... Kahan se?... (surprised) Jee, theek hai... Thank you!
The call ended. Kalindi looked at Aastha with a questioning gaze. Aastha's father, Avdhoot, asked her...
Aastha : Kis ka phone tha Aastha?
Aastha's grandmother, Ajju, as Aastha called her, listened keenly as Aastha spoke...
Aastha : (confused) Mujhe ek ghante mein Agnihotri Industries ke office mein bulaya hai!
All : Kya?!!
Aastha : (afraid) Haan! Pata nahi kyun!! (looking up) Bappa, sab sambhaal lena...!!!
