SS - The Sales Part 15/16 pag 9 Mar 27

Hey Christmas is just around the corner...so lets go shopping...

The Sales 1

"Bani'get that sign up right now'we will be opening in few minutes and I want the sale sign up. I want those shoppers walking into my store not past my shop." Arun Das bellowed at the assistant, his mouth showering red paan juice in the air and his rather large paunch jiggling like a jelly.

"Jee'sir'I will have up in a jiffy." Bani struggled to pick up the huge cardboard sign that just been delivered. One it was taller than her and two, it was hard to see where she was going when she held it up. One of the other assistant, Pushkar who was stocking up the shelves came over. "Here Bani let me help you."

Bani let a breath out, "Thanks Pushkar'God he must be blind if he can't see that the bloody sign is bigger than me'how the hell am I going to get it up in the window."

Pushkar laughed, "Hey'don't worry. I will get Tarun to help."

"Tarun ha'that guy just snooze in the back. He is supposed to be sorting the stock out'while the rest of go crazy out her'the bas***d is taking it easy in the back." Bani whined, puffing a little as she struggled to hold the stupid sign up.

Pushkar stopped and stared over the board at Bani, noticing her flushed cheek and dark eyes. "What happened Bunny? Why are you in foul mood?"

"Don't call me that'you know I hate being called bunny. Nothing is the matter'just AD and his constant demand. The day has not even started and I am stressed out." Bani spluttered angrily.

Pushkar grinned and said in cheery voice, "It's Christmas time Bani and you know it's the best time for the shop to do business. AD will make sure he has the sale going everyday to get the shoppers in and get rid of all the lights, glass balls and decorations that is sitting on the shelf."

"Humph'scrooge. The pig never even bothers to give us a penny in raise for all the slogging we do for him. All he does is put the bundles of notes in his tijori." Bani kicked lightly at the board. "Oh'lets get this up'before he starts screaming again."

Five minutes later, the gaudy board was hanging in the middle of shop window. Bani rubbed her hands down on her pants. "Fancy putting those ugly trays on sale. Who is going to buy them? They are so cheap looking." Bani said, reading the sale sign.

Don't worry your head Bani'they will sell like crazy. People don't look to see if the trays are nice looking'they care about getting 50% off the price."

Tarun pushed his greasy hair back and peered over his rather large glasses, his beady eyes looking lustfully at Bani, "Oh I already have dozen put aside for my family. My mother likes them."

Bani pulled a face but did not say anything.

Arun Das poked his head out of the little cubbyhole at the back that was his office. He looked towards the front of the shop where Bani, Pushkar and Tarun were standing. His face a mask of irritation, "Ok guys..stop dawdling around. Get the shop open, it's one minute past nine. I am losing customers'you will be feeling it in your paycheck if those customers don't walk in." Arun Das shouted.

Tarun smirked, "I guess I better get to the back. Have fun guys. Don't forget to get some more stock if you run out'I have boxes of stuff all ready marked down."

Pushkar rolled his eyes and said in a mean voice. "Yeah run back into your burrow and hibernate while we do all the real work."

Tarun shrugged his shoulder carelessly. "Hey'don't complain to me'the boss's office is right there if you don't like your job."

"Asshole!" Pushkar said under his breath while Bani couldn't help breaking into a grin.

Those ugly trays went off the shelf and out door in no time. AD rubbed his hands gleefully as he watched Pushkar and Bani fill the shelf with more expensive trays. "He does this every year'" Pushkar mumbled, "he puts the cheap ones first and then expensive one with a sign saying sorry the sale item is completely sold out but being a generous man, he has put a better quality item for sale at same 50% off."

Bani stood up, to relieve her aching back. "I just fed up of filling up the shelf. Don't people have any sense? They can probably buy a better stuff, cheaper at another store."

AD coughed, and barked in a vicious tone, "What did you say Ms. Dixit? Telling my customer to go elsewhere'are you mad? You want me to throw you out of job?"


Pushkar jumped to Bani's defense, "No sir'she didn't mean anything like that. She was just telling me what some other customer said. She is a hard worker sir'you can't find anyone else like her."

AD rubbed his pan stained lips, his eyes closing to thin slits, looking like a cobra's head jutting out of a basket, "Huh'I am letting it go now'but if I hear it next time'" he left the threat hanging.

After he had trundled off, Bani roughly pulled out a set of trays on banged them on the shelf, "You'know'what I really want to do is throw all this trays at that moroon's head, just like a boomerangs."

Pushkar chuckled, "Please do it'but after Christmas. I need this job badly at the moment. I have to finance my part-time college."

Bani gave a wistful look at Pushkar, "Wish I could go to school. I wouldn't have to work in this shitty job then."

"Why don't you?" Pushkar asked.

"Because if I don't work, my family would starve. My father can't hold a job down. My mom is always sick and I have two small sisters." Bani replied.

"Oh'why don't you find a rich boy and marry him." Pushkar teased.

"Are you kidding? Who is going to marry me'look at me'I am no Miss India'and I work in this junk shop. Plus I don't know if nice rich boys really go for ordinary Miss Working class."

Pushkar sighed, "If I didn't have a girlfriend'I would seriously ask you to be my girlfriend."

Bani arched her brow, "Really! That is sweet of you'but I would say no. It's not because I don't like you'but you know'I don't feel that way about you'there is not that dil dhadkan kind of thing happening."

Pushkar grinned, "Oh well'I guess I am just destined to be your good friend."

Bani rested her head on Pushkar's shoulder, "Thanks for that Pushkar. You do make it bearable to work here." And then looking around she whispered, "That Tarun he is always giving me dirty looks'I dread that someday he might just try something funny if he catches me alone."

Pushkar flexed his arm, "You just tell me if he touches you, I will beat him black and blue. The creep, I will fix him up good."

Bani hugged Pushkar, only to be startled by AD's voice. "What the hell are you two doing? How can you two behave so indecently in front of my customer?"

Pushkar's face flushed as he looked at AD, "Err'it was nothing sir. Bani is like my sister'"

Bani looked mortified. What the hell did she do wrong?

AD liked his lips, the red saliva trickling from the corner of his mouth. His eyes like two black coal chips. "Who are you trying make ullu? You youngsters nowdays'no shame." Before he could say any more, AD's cell rang, playing a loud tune of the old song, "jhumkha gira re," he fished it out of the pocket and waddled off, murmuring, "Stupid woman...now what does she want?"

Bani and Pushkar giggled, "Ullu'I bet that is his wife. I hope she give him a nagging headache."

"Have you seen Mrs AD'she just like those bossy women from the old Hindi movie'complete with big red dot on her forehead. And she is louder than him." Pushkar laughed as he described AD's wife, who on rare occasion would barge into the store and right into AD's office.

Bani looked at the tattered old watch on her wrist, "Phew almost 7. One more hour and we can go."

"yeah'I am starving. I wonder what my mom's made for dinner." Pushkar wondered out loud.

"Miss'please can you help us." A young girl waved at Bani. Bani attention was caught by the man standing behind her. She gawked at the tall, dark skinned man, looking swanky in a stylish black suit. His jet black hair was gelled back and eyes hidden behind a pair of designer sun glasses. Bani felt a mad rush of butterflies in her stomach. What was he doing in the shop?

Bani walked slowly, her eyes not leaving the man's face. "Yes'how can I help you?"

"Well my the sign in the window says'you have trays on sale. I want some'its for our school dance. I mean they are cheap'we can use them and throw them away." The girl prattled on, her long curly hair swaying as she moved her head.

"Well those ones got sold out this morning'but we have some other on sale'just a little bit more in price though." Bani said pointing to the shelf which had about a dozen trays still sitting on them.

"Ok'fine'we will take them'right mamu." The girl turned to the man and tugged on his arm.

The man removed his glasses and gave a smirk, "Sure Anu. Miss'could you pack them up for us." He asked with a smirk.

Bani blushed and felt flustered at the way he was looking at her. She hurried off to where Pushkar was, "Hey Pushkar'go get a box'we have to pack these up'I will count them up while you do that."

Pushkar scratched his head, "All of these'holy man'who is buying them all?"

Bani gave a brief turn of the head and said, "They are'I guess they can afford them'they didn't ask the price or haggle like some of them."

Pushkar nodded, "Hey'who cares'at least AD will be happy to see an empty shelf."

Between them, they packed up the trays, rang up the order and Pushkar carried the box out to the waiting car. The girl happily clung her uncles' arm. The man put on his dark glasses and smiled at Bani. "Thank you miss. Good night."

Bani felt warm, her cheeks going rosy again. "Good night sir." She mumbled looking highly embarrassed.


The Sales 2

"Bani'" Tarun flicked back the lock of greasy hair from his forehead. His eyes peered over the rim of his glasses. "Want to help me bring boxes out? Boss said he wants them on shelves asap." Bani glared at him, "Go and ask Pushkar'you know I can't lift those heavy boxes up."

Tarun ran his tongue over his lips, dribble of saliva falling on the floor. "These are not heavy'else I wouldn't have asked." He squirmed slightly, as he felt a heady rush run through his body. It was same thing he suffered through everytime he looked at Bani. She was prettiest thing working in the shop. Most of them girls were married or not so attractive. But ever since Bani started working at the shop, Tarun couldn't wait to start work every morning.

Bani muttered an expletive silently, "OK'lets go." She followed Tarun towards the warehouse. Tarun felt as if he was floating on a cloud, finally'he could get her alone. It would be worth it'even if he just pretended to accidentally brush against her'to feel her fair skin brush his'to breath that soapy scent, like a mixture of jasmine and roses. Even before they reached the warehouse, Pushkar barred Tarun's way. "Whoa'where are you two going?" he asked, his eyes turning hard when he noticed a gluttony look in Tarun's eyes.

Tarun ran his eyes furtively across, "In the back'I need help bringing some boxes out."

Pushkar looked at Bani's not so happy face. "Well'Bani can go back and finish what she is doing. I will help you."

Tarun's eyes took an odious gleam. "No need'they are very light'" turning and smirking at Bani, "that is why I asked her."

Pushkar folded his arms, "Well in that case'I should be able carry twice the number of boxes Bani can. The job will be done quicker."

Tarun's jaw dropped. "Fine!" he snapped. Bani folded her hands gratefully at Pushkar, flashing him a gorgeous smile.

Pushkar winked back at her.

Bani watched as Pushkar carried the boxes and dumped near empty shelves. He laughed when he saw Bani watching him. "He is sulking'cause I guess I spoilt his plan."

Bani made a gross face. "He is sick. I think I will buy those guns'you know the ones that are supposed electrocute people'"

Pushkar feigned horror, "Baap re'I better keep away from you then. I don't wan to accidentally get zapped by one of those."

"oh I would never hurt you'I need you around to rescue me from jerks like Tarun."

"And what is happening here'instead of working, you two are having a tea break." AD bellowed behind Pushkar.

Pushkar looked at his watch. "Yes sir'I am five minutes late starting my tea break."

AD glowered at Pushkar. "That is your problem'make sure you are working in five more minutes." He turned and looked at Bani. "Get those candles on the shelves'they are supposed to be on sale. I don't want people walking out of the shop because they see empty shelves."

"Yes sir'we just finished selling the last lot. We have sold like 50 boxes already." Bani said in saccharine laden voice.

AD's eyes glistened, "Have we now? Good thing I ordered extra 25 boxes." He laughed, his belly rolling up and down and pan spit spewing in the air. Bani stepped back and pulled a face, wished AD would stop stuffing his mouth with the foul stuff.

When AD had walked back to his office, Bani groaned loudly, "look at his pan spit on the shelves'god the man is gross." Picking up a rag, Bani wiped the shelves aggressively. Pushkar opened a box and started to pile on gaudly looking red and glitter candle pillar. "This are not bad'may be I should buy couple for my mom."

Bani stared at Pushkar as if he was looney, "Gosh Pushkar'I wouldn't buy my mom those'smell them'they smell awful'and all that glitter will fall off quickly."

Pushkar looked at his hands covered in glitter, "humph'you are right'look at my hands'How much are these on sale for?"

"Like ten rupees'I bet he brought this for like a rupee or something'no way they are worth twenty, regular price." Bani said, looking at the crossed out price.


Pushkar looked at two middle aged ladies walking towards them. One of gushed, "There they are Shanti'I told you'there would be some left. Hello bache'can we get some of those candles."

Pushkar put on wide smile, "Sure auntyji'how many?"

One of patted Pushkar on his arm, "Such a sweet bacha'I will take six and my friend will take six."

Pushkar handed them the candles, "Anything else I can for you ladies?" Bani muffled her fit of giggles.

The ladies nudged each other, and then one of them eyeing Pushkar, "So cute'I want to take you hope and wrap you up in some shiny paper and sit you down under my Christmas tree."

"ooooooooooh'Mary'you are so naughty. What will Alfred say?"

"Nothing'the old fool snoozes all day anyway."

Pushkar shook his head and smiled and spoke garrulously, "Sorry auntyji'but I am already taken."

The women giggled like school girls. "Oh dear'thanks anyway'sweetie."

Bani and Pushkar doubled over in laughter, "I can't believe her'awwww'fancy hitting on you."

Pushkar leaned against the shelf. "I think they are riot'I think she was just teasing. You know'poor aunties'they don't have much fun."

Bani stacked some more candles on, "Still'I would die'if I ever heard my mother talk like that."

Pushkar chuckled, "I don't think my mother would ever dare to be silly like them."

Bani had just finished counting the cash in the till, when the door of the shop opened. "sorry we are closed." She said without looking up.

"Oh'I saw the lights and thought you were still open."

Bani looked up, the voice sounded familiar. It was the same girl as yesterday. "Sorry'but we closed like 10 minutes ago."

"Well I wanted some candles'yours is the only shop that has them." The door opened and the same man, dressed exactly like the day before stepped in. "Are you done Anu?" he asked softly.

Anu shook her head and pouted, "They are closed'I told you to hurry up."

Jai Walia took off his dark shades. "Look miss'could you do us favour'and just let her buy those candles'else I she will make life miserable." He gave Bani ambrosial smile. His perfect white teeth dazzled against his dark lips. Bani blushed and she shrugged, "Go ahead, but be quick. I don't want to miss my bus."

Anu clapped and hugged Jai Walia. "Come on mamu'lets get them."

Couple of minutes later Anu came back with like dozen candles. Bani did the calculation, "That's 120 rupees."

Jai Walia fished out two 100 rupees note, "Sorry'no change."

Bani quickly gave change from the till and bagged the candles. "Thank you."

"Thank you'" Anu said, hugging the bag. "Let's go mamu'"

Jai Walia, slowly slid on his shades watching Bani intently as she set up about counting up the cash. "Thanks miss'" he droned delectably.

Bani shot her head up, her eyes scanning the black shades.

Jai Walia nodded and then followed his niece out of the shop.

Bani quickly locked the door. She did not need anyone else coming into the store.

The Sales 3

AD's face turned bright red as his rage mounted inside. He slapped Tarun hard, "Idiot! Where were you looking? Dropping the box and breaking all the ornaments…this will come out of pay check. Fool…can't do a simple job." He grabbed Tarun by the shoulder, "I don't hire you to ogle at all the women in the store. You are here to work…not play." AD dug his fingers hard, making Tarun's eyes water. Dribble of red pan juice ran out as AD hissed out loudly.

Tarun folded his hands, his voice squealed pitifully, "It really was an accident sir. My foot caught something on the floor. I was only doing my job sir…please so sorry sir."

AD kicked Tarun in the shin as he let go. Tarun fell on the floor and lay grovelling at AD's feet. In disgust AD walked off. Bani smothered a giggle as Pushkar gave her dark look and hissed. "It's not funny…ok so he was ogling at you. But AD doesn't have to physically abuse him like that."

Bani poked her tongue out and hissed, "Now don't tell me you wouldn't lay a finger on that scum if he laid his hands on me."

Pushkar frowned and snapped, "That is an entirely different scenario." He walked off and pulled Tarun up on his feet and slapped him lightly in the back. "Go and take a break, I will clean up here and bring those boxes out." Tarun shuffled off gratefully, not daring to look at anyone.

Rest of the afternoon, Pushkar shunted boxes from the back while Bani and couple of other girls priced and stocked up the shelves. When they finally got to have a break, Bani and Pushkar headed for the coffee shop and sat down. Sipping a hot chocolate, Bani sighed. "It feels so good to get away from there. I can't believe people there are so many people celebrating Christmas in the city."

Pushkar stretched his leg. "Yeah…I think a lot of people of who celebrate Christmas."

"hey Pushkar…do you think I could leave early today? It's Rano's birthday…and I would like to get home early and make something special for her."

Pushkar, "Sure…I can stay late…and I think Tarun owes me for doing half his work today. He can stay back and help out."

Bani smiled, "Thanks…Pushkar. I owe you one."

XXXXX

Bani got ready to leave. She had just stepped near the door when AD bellowed from the back. Bani stopped and looked uncertainly at Pushkar. Pushkar nodded and turned towards AD. "Oh my fault AD sir…Bani had asked me few days back to leave early today…she has to take mother to the doctor." AD narrowed his eyes as he stared back at Pushkar and then grunted and went back inside his office. Pushkar grinned and gave thumbs up to Bani.

Pushkar was just sweeping up the floor when Anu came up to him, "Hi!" she called out to him. Pushkar looked at her and smiled, "Hi." Anu put her hands in jeans pocket and smiled, "Where is your friend?"

"My friend?" Pushkar asked .

"Yes…you know the girl…she was with you when I cam in the other night with my uncle."

"OH..Bani you mean. She went home early today." Pushkar replied. "Can I help you with something?"

Anu contemplated and then said, "I guess so…I need some gifts bag."

"That I can manage…come with me." Pushkar indicated to Anu to follow him. He took her to the side where gifts bags, boxes and paper were stacked up.

"Wow…you have a lot of choice." Anu said as she picked up a bag and admired it.

"I leave you to choose. If want help with anything else…my name's Pushkar."

Anu grinned at him, "Thanks Pushkar…you are so cute."

Pushkar blushed, not used to being admired vocally.

Anu took an armful of bags up to the cash. She fished out her cellphone. "Mamaji…I am done."

A couple of minutes Jai walked into the store. He paid for Anu's shopping and then picked up a box. He casually looked around. Anu giggled and said cheekily, "She is not here…she went home early mamu."

Jai glowered at Anu, though she couldn't see due to his dark shades. With a sharp, "let's go," he walked out of the shop

Now, now Divan, great update, but way toooooooo

Poor Tarun, AD was so mean to him.

Even through his dark glasses, JW notice Bani wasn't in the store.

Continue soon please.

Take care.

Part 4

"Mamu..." Anu walked into her uncle's cabin and flopped down in the leather sofa.

"Hmmm.." Jai Walia mumbled as he concentrated on the figures on the screen.

"Mamu...I want to go shopping." Anu almost screamed after she found her uncle ignored her presence.

Jai gave an exaperated sigh and glared at her her niece. "I don't have time Anu. How much shopping do you need to do?"

"Lots...you have no idea, how humongous the task is to organize the Christmas party at the college." Anu answered.

"Why don't you let one my managers' do it for you...it will be free...an early gift from me." Jai said with a smirk on his face, wanting to get rid of his niece so he could go back to analyzing the sales figures.

Anu pouted and walked up to him, putting her arms around his shoulders, "That is very sweet of you mamu. But it is no fun...it is the reason, why...me, pooh and sweety took on this task. Anyway...I am going to that same shop. They have good bargains...we are trying to save money...so we have extra money to spend on food and other stuff for the party."

Jai groaned, "not there Anu. That place sells junk."

Anu grinned at him, her eyes dancing wickedly, "Yes...but there is a cute salesgirl there...that you kind of fancy too."

Jai gave her a hard stare, "I do not fancy her. Just because I pay for your shopping and have to look at her...does not mean I fancy her. Plus she is not my type."

Anu giggled and kissed him on the cheek, "Oh mamu...she is so your type. Pretty, cute and so sweet. She blushes everytime she looks at you. I think she likes you."

Jai felt hot and bothered by the conversation. "Please Anu...drop it. And the answer is still no...I am not coming shopping with you."

"Fine!" Anu got up and gave a mean glare. "You know I will go alone and I will tell that salesgirl how much you love her and want to take her out for coffee when she is free."

Jai exploded and banged his fist on the table, "Don't you dare Anu...I will spank your bottom if you do."

Anu wiggled her brow, "Then you better come with me...to make sure I don't." She giggled as she saw a look of exasperation on Jai's face.

Jai shut his laptope and stood up. "I don't know why I give in to you. You are bane of my life Anu Bali." Jai grabbed Anu by her arm and hauled her out of his office.

Anu hugged his arm, "Oh mamu I love you. And you know...I am going to fix you up with that cute salesgirl."

Jai tapped her head, "I am not some car that can be fixed up...miss."

Anu just giggled.

XXXXX

Pushkar nudged Bani, "Hey look who is here?"

Bani blushed as she sae Anu and Jai in the shop. "That girl is nuts Pushkar. Look at them. They can afford to buy better than the junk in here."

Pushkar laughed, "Who care...its their money and it pays my salary. Mind you...its funny...but hey...you know that day you took off early...he did ask about you."

Bani felt her cheeks go even red. "You are just making it up. I don't even talk to them...they don't even know me. You are just pulling my leg."

Pushkar put on a serious face. "Honest Bani...I wouldn't do that to you. He did notice you were not in the shop." Then leaning closer he whispered, "Hey...if he is interested in you...don't you let him go. I mean...he be your ticket to all your problems. You wouldn't have to work here to take care of your family"

Bani gave a horrified look, "Gosh Pushkar...how could you think like that. I would rather work and take care of my family...then...then...marry someone just because they are rich."

Before Pushkar could say anything, Anu interrupted them, "Hey...how are you guys? As you can see I am back." she grinned at Bani and Pushkar.

Bani smiled back, "Hi...did you want help?"

Anu nodded, "What's your name? My name is Anu. You know...I think you are so sweet," and then turning and winking at Pushkar, "You...too."

Pushkar laughed, "Thanks. Hey who is that guy with you? Boyfriend?"

Anu giggled, "No way...he is my uncle. Poor guy...I make him come with me for shopping. He was so mad today...he didn't want to come...but I made him."

Bani shook her head, "Why can't you shop with your friends, instead of your uncle?"

Anu rolled her eyes, "You know...he doesn't do anything much. He needs to relax and have some fun."

"But shopping in here is no fun..." Bani said, looking shelves full of stuff.

"Where do you like to shop?" Anu asked her curious to know someone like Bani would shop.

Bani laughed, "Well just at some local shops near where I live. I can't afford to shop at those big shopping malls. Sometimes with my sister we go looking there. I treat my sister to an ice-cream."

"Ice-cream...I like ice-cream treats too. Infact some nights I make mamu drive me to an ice-cream parlour for one. Do you like ice-cream Bani?"

"Yes...strawberry is my favourite."

"Anu!" They heard Jai Walia call out.

"I am here mamu..." Anu giggled, "I will introduce you guys."

"Mamu...come meet my friends." Anu waved at Jai to come towards them.

"This is Bani...and this is..." Anu gazed at Pushkar.

"Hi...I am Pushkar." Pushkar didn't know if he should offer his hand to the man who was looking at them all with irritation on his face.

"Nice to meet you Pushkar...Bani." Jai nodded at them, "Are you done Anu?"

Anu shook her head, "No...sorry...I was talking with them. But you know...they will help me find the stuff and we will be out in a jiffy."

Jai Walia followed his niece, Bani and Pushkar as they went around the shop, picking out stuff for Anu from her list. In few minutes, Jai was carrying a boxful of stuff. He gave a sigh of relief when Anu said. "You know I will just take this much for now."

Pushkar took the box from Jai Walia and carried it to the cash. Anu gave a quick hug to Bani. "Thanks...you guys are so sweet, helping me out like this."

Bani just smiled. Anu linked her arm through Jai's, "Don't you think she is sweet mamu? I mean she didn't complain even once." Jai felt like hitting Anu for putting him on the spot. He just smiled at Bani. "Thanks...Bani. I hope she is not troubling you too much."

Bani shook her head, and laughed nervously, "No...please. It's my job. And your niece she is...very nice."

Anu giggled, "awww...now I am all blushing...you two talking about me."

Bani burst out laughing, causing dimples in her face. Jai found himself smiling despite trying hard not to. He couldn't help staring at Bani, who eyes sparkled and her cheeks with a hue of colour, looked beautiful.

The moment was disturbed by Pushkar who came up, "it's all ready sir...you just need to pay and take it away."

Jai held out his hand to Pushkar, "Thanks...come one Anu." Anu waved at Bani and Pushkar and walked out with Jai. Jai turned his head and nodded at Bani and Pushkar before exiting the door.

They heard AD's voice behind. "Keep it up you two. I like those two coming back and spending money in my shop. This rate...I will have a handsome profit." He said gleefully, rubbing his hands.

Bani and Pushkar just smiled, glad for once, AD did not shout at them.
