PART-6
for the next one week kasturi was busy with her work.she was checking the canteen and catering department.she was not happy with that department.she told them to bring almost all the files for checking.for the past 10 days she was working on that.she was tired.she closed the files , lean back on the chair and relaxed.she looked in to the wall clock.it was 1.10pm.for the past two days she was thinking to visit the canteen personally.she decided to visit today.
she got up from her seat and walked out of her cabin...walked towards the canteen.
canteen:
it is a lunch break...it was over crowded .the workers wished her and moved to give way to her to get in.she wished them back while getting in.she steped in to the canteen...some of the workers who were sitting and eating stood up to wish her.
kastui:' please sit ...don't get up while u r eating...'she told them politely with a sweet smile.the canteen was not that clean..she looked around the canteen...and hooked on to one table for a moment.yep..she saw robbie sitting beside a worker and eating kichdi with a spoon.the worker is from his unit...he was wearing kaki uniform.different unit has different colour uniform...so that by seeing the uniform u can say which unit workers they are...
robbie did not noticed her.he was looking down and eating his food.he was wearing cream colour plain full sleeve shirt folded his sleeve just above the wrist....kasturi moved to the counter.the canteen people came near to her for service.
kasturi: 'wo yellow wala food give me...'she pointed out the kichdi and told in half hindi half english.a worker standing beside her chuckle ...'wo kichdi hai..'he said without laughing.
kasturi: 'whatever...give me sample of that..'she don't want to show that she forgot the name of indian foods.
the canteen man served her the kichdi in a small plate along with a spoon..she took spoon full of kichdi and put it in her mouth...her cute face shrunk with disgust.she put back the spoon in the plate...looked at the canteen people with anger.
kasturi: ' what the hell food this is?...yeah ghana workers ko ghelaayeangay?if this type of food they eat kya kaam karayngay wo?.....called the catering in charge...'she screamed.catering supervisor appeared in front of her in no time.
kastur:'yeah kay hai...?'she showed the food plate.
supervisor:'kichdi...'he said slowly.kasturi got annoyed with his answer.'i know that..eat the food..ghayeah..'she told her to eat the kichdi.supervisor stood silently.
kasturi:'kabi kabi thum bhee kayaa karo...then only u will know the quality of your food ...?'
supervisor:'mam yeah ghanaa concession price mai hai.bhaahar kay mool say bahooth sastha hai...'
kasturi;'so what...?that doesn't mean u can serve garbage to them.look...!!!! they are the loyal workers of this company.i would like them to have a good meal atleast a day.aaj kay baath har rooz sample food should come to my table before it was served to them...?she showed her fingers at the workers.'if u can't i don't mind to cancel u r contract and with in no time i can arrange for the other caterer...by the way i want to see the canteen clean...'
even though robbie was looking at his food and eating he was listening to her 'SHE IS A GOOD HUMAN'...the thought flashed in his mind....he slowly raised his head and turned towards her...she was standing near the counter and firing them...he glued at her.she was standing like a marble statue..with a peacock blue plain silk saree with a thin silver border,sleeveless matching blouse...the sari was elegantly flowing on her.she was looking gorgeous....the way she was shaking her head with a silky short hair cut was eye catching...he tried to take off his eyes from her...but he could not... he was stunned by her look .FIRST TIME HE HOOKED ON TO HER......he was trying to swallow the kichdi in his mouth...but it refuse to go inside...it stuck in his throat...he started coughing...the worker sitting beside him took the water and helped him to drink...the water too refuse to go inside...'aap teek tho hai na sir..."the worker asked..'i am fine..."he pushed the chair back...left the food and walked out of the canteen.
after two days kasturi was still working on canteen.the time was 12:50 pm.she took the phone and dialed the number.
kasturi: 'i need your help.. will u please come to my office..."with in few minutes robbie was in her office.she want to discuss about the development of canteen.robbie sat in front of her.
kasturi: mr.robbie i have some suggestions... before finalizing i want to discuss with u (actually puru told her to take his advice before taking any desition...)....the canteen is over crowded...it should be extended...all the furniture should be replaced they are all very old and some of them are broken too...'robbie was listening to her carefully...he liked all her suggestions ...she was pointing out the files with the right hand which has no extra fittings like bangle...finger ring...not even nail polish...her hand was looking as if it was made up of ivory..when robbie was looking in to the file the distance between them was negligible...she was smelling gud..which disturbed him constantly..she was discussing till 1.40pm.
soon after the discussion robbie stood up to leave.
kasturi:'have lunch with me..." robbie did not expect this invitation.
robbie: 'it is ok..." he don't want to stay further...
kasturi:'now the time is 1.40pm..canteen is closed..."
robbie:'it is ok i can manage..."he tried to avoid again.
kasturi:'i don't like to see any of our staff working with empty stomach...'she too got up from her seat and walked towards the sofa which was kept beside.in front of the sofa a big hot pack was kept on the tea table.already out side of her cabin the red light was on which says not to disturb.robbie could not avoid her and he don't want to make her angry too.
he went and sat beside her .it is only a two seater sofa...there was no much distance between them.she opened the hot pack and served the food in the plate.it was chicken biriyani with tandoori chicken , cucumber and yogurt salad.it was her favorite food.she gave the plate to him.he took it unwillingly.for few seconds he did not eat..he was simply holding the plate and staring at the food..'have it...'she said
robbie took one spoon full of briyaani and put it in his mouth...he shrunk his face..he tried to swallow..he took one more spoon and stuffed in his mouth ...kasturi was looking at his weird way of eating...next movement he spit the food in the plate...stood up immediately 'i am sorry i can't eat this food...'moved out of the sofa..'excuse me...'he said to her without looking at her.without waiting for her action or reply he walked fast and went out of her cabin.
every think happened with few minutes...which kasturi did not expected...she looked at robbie rushing out .after few seconds she came to her sense.she could not understand y he did like that' she took one spoon of briyaani and tasted...it was really really delicious...and more over it was her favorite food...she got so mad😡 'what did he think of himself. he can eat such a worst kichidi in the canteen... but he don't like to eat sabarwal house food....' she pushed the hot pack in anger from the table...the hot pack fall down and the food spilled all around..
