Her buddies, this is my first post in PR forum though I'm not new to ArVi AT. I'm sure many ArVians know me right from pkyek days but for those who don't, well my name is Tich. The biggest and craziest Rithvik fan, a die-hard JiYaholic and now a loyal ArVi shipper.
It is basically Arjun's feelings after mandir wala scene and few incidents which I weaved after watching the ArVi promo and reading the tellybuzz article. Everything is same according to the article except that here Arjun doesn't know that Purvi is getting married.
Do read and leave your comments with a 'like', I would know how many read it.
DELIBERATIONS OF ARJUN KIRLODSKAR
I entered my office slowly removing my shades. I saw each of my employee standing up and wishing me morning except Purvi. She didn't acknowledge my presence. Or should I say perhaps she did but cared less as I didn't respond the earlier day. I went inside the cabin with lividly.
Work! The thing I love the most. My work. I feel relaxed. It gives me pleasure. When I say pleasure, it's pleasure; but not happiness. I felt I have experienced it for the first time when I went to temple on Sivaratri and did puja. When I told the same to dad, I was surprised at his reaction. As if I have achieved something. He was extremely proud of me. Yes, he was happy and proud when I had always topped in my school and graduation, he was when I achieved the promising businessman title, he was proud even when I sign big deal and bring high profits to the company. But this reaction was different. He was diversely content.
It took me a little time to understand the reason behind it. Parents feel proud when their children achieve something but they feel happy when they think that their children have got good morals in them. In short, they want to see them as good human beings rather than a successful one. I would have never seen that satisfaction, that pride in my father's eyes if I had not gone to temple. He was happy that I have learnt it though mom isn't between us. I felt emotional at his words and the very mentioning of mom. Yes, I have emotions too but I somehow don't like to show them. I love to be like this, workaholic and enigmatic.
"Nevertheless who is employee of yours son who has taken you to a temple?" dad asked. Purvi. I wanted to take her name. I don't know whether I was embarrassed to tell him about a female employee or my ego influenced by Purvi's fearless fights have come in between but I didn't tell him. Yet my gaze was constantly on a pendulum swinging between dad on skype and purvi before shutters.
Not one, not twice or thrice but I kept wavering my eyes at her. When I turned away the avis of mandir scene flashed in my mind.
I had enough and I concentrated on my work. Workaholic as I am it wasn't difficult. But to avoid further brain damage I kept on calling Purvi for some reason or the other in my cabin and assigned works
It was evening; as my work relaxed I observed that Purvi was working faster than usual. The customary confident Purvi was tensed. She kept on looking at her watch. Perhaps she needed to go early.
-"Miss Purvi, take the dictation and I want this letter to be typed and sent to bajaj Paints now itself" I ordered.
-"Yes Sir" she nodded, her doe eyes big and still. Surely cursing me in mind.
-"Respected Sir, we are here to inform you that our consignment…." I was interrupted by a ring. It was Purvi's mobile.
"Miss Purvi, do I have to tell you the basic manners of keeping your mobile I silent or switch off before your boss?"
-"Sorry Sir" she apologized, as if she was giving me some clemency. She did put it in silent mode. I continued the dictation and asked her to do as said.
After that a very few times I observed she was busy in he mobile. It was constantly vibrating. I had my nose into the laptop but I guess my ears and my mind was nomadic around her. I decided not to look at her but still I could know what she is actually doing. I could unknowingly fell it.
Few minutes later after a serious discussion on her phone, she barged into my cabin, "sir, I need to…"
-"Miss Purvi, I seriously don't understand where you leave your courteousness while coming to the office. Don't you think you should atleast knock the door? I mean, c'mon it's basic" I twitched my lips and scratched my forehead twice.
-"I'm sorry Sir, but I need to go home urgently" she told me, I'd rather say shouted at me.
-"sure you can go. Why now, go forever, trust me I won't mind"
-"but sir, I have completed my work and if still there is any new work I'll complete it tomorrow but now I need to go Sir. My aayi needs me, few guests have come to my house and.."
-"and you need to serve them. Sure, however you fit for such things, sit at home and help mom in the kitchen. It's me who's tolerating you, otherwise with this attitude of yours no one would give you job once you lose your challenge and leave this company" I vent out my frustration at her. Perhaps for affecting me with the temple incident.
-"Sir, please understand, my aayi will be embarrassed before them f I'm not there. Sir they have to see…."
-"I said I'm not stopping you" I told flipping the pages in a random file on the table.
She left the cabin and sat on her chair working in the computer. I smirked.
Few minutes later she entered. Not again! This time too, she didn't care to knock. She just barged in. I shook my head.
She handed me a paper, typed. And signed.
-"this is my resignation Sir"
I stood up with a jerk.
-"what?" I asked shocked in a low voice.
-"you won, congrats. Now celebrate Diwali and distribute laddus. I cant let my aayi's face bend in shame because of an insensitive person like you. My love for my aayi is greater than my pride and my challenge, Good bye Sir"
As she turned to go I felt something very important is breaking from my life. The thoughts for which I haven't given much importance since morning and kept ignoring are slowing becoming clearer. But not completely. I'm still oblivious. I can see a shadow but not able to make out what shadow it is. Purvi walked away but left her shadow behind.
I shouldn't have provoked her, I realized. I won, but I lost. The win seemed to be like the competitor was injured and out and I didn't make any effort. I decided to bring her back; she cannot throw her resignation at my face like that. She needs to answer me.
