Maya finds a dad

"Khushi can you drop off the CZ file . I have left it in the office in my top right hand draw."

"What ? But ...But... its Christmas eve and its half day sir ? I have finished sir and I am the last person here we are locking up now ,

can I scan the documents and send them via email "
"if scanned documents would do I would have asked for them , I need the original documents now !

"But sir . I have to pick ..."
"Look I need the documents now just get them to me NOW !"

"Can I send them in a cab to yourself "
"No stop being difficult ,they are confidential documents "

"But sir it's Christmas eve and I have to pic .."

"Khushi charge me double time get those document to me ."

"but sir I have to go and pick ...

"Khushi i' m warning you i want you to get those documents to me as soon as possible "

"OK SIR"

"KHOODAS , idiot , scrooge - its christmas eve , doesn't he know that ! I have to go pick Maya up "

"Maya beti , I am sorry I am late ! I got stuck at work , I 've got one more job to do and then i will go to the park with you and eat as much Icecream as you want - a super duper king size sunday with all the flavours - Smile for mummy and no more tears !"

"I was the last one here -ma and its christmas eve - I thought you forgot me "
"Maya have I ever forgotten you ever - I might be running late because of the my idiot boss -but Maya sweetheart you know the job lets me buy you all the things you want and sends you to one of the best schools . OK lets go we'll get an auto to Mr Raizada 's house and then we will go for icecream OK darling "Maya stopped crying and gave her mum a big hug . Ok lets go ma can we play games on the way or you can tell me a story "

Khushi breath a sigh of relief ,she hated it when Maya cried. It wasn't fair this job took her away from Maya but being Mr Raizada's PA or personal slave paid well and allowed Khushi to be able to afford the best for Maya. Sometimes the hours were unsociable , he wasn't the easiest to get along with or work for but she had learnt to read his moods like a book. It was a bit like weather forecasting . But today he had really been unbelievably difficult. She recalled that in the last 5 years she had worked for him -he had never been as bad as he was today or as unreasonable. That too on christmas eve.

Khushi went home with Maya changed into a sari let her hair down picked up some things for Maya and set of for Shantivan.

She rang the doorbell "Namaste HP is Arnav Saab in his office or poolside ?" "Office - who shall I say has come "

"HP its me -Khushi "

"Oh sorry Khushi Ji - i didn't recognize you "

"Maya go and sit there on the sofa honey and please don't touch anything "

Khushi knocked on the office door and entered "Sir here is your folder "

"Put it over there Khushi and can you just take these notes down and make the following changes to the document "

"NO ! Mr Raizada " Arnav who hadn't even bothered looking up raised his head . None of his employee's spoke in that tone to him .

"What the .."

"Don't you what the .. what the ...me - as i said before its christmas eve - i was late picking Maya up she was crying complaining that I am always late -I altered our plans to suit you and now you want me to work while she sits outside patiently - well thats not going to happen - Merry Christmas Sir I will see on thursday at the office and you can give me a disciplinary then !"

Arnav stood their in shock - no one had ever dared to speak to him like that. He wasn't sure what he was more shocked by her tone -in the last five years she had never spoken out of turn just always got on with the job at hand working what ever hours he needed her to , turning her hand to nearly any job that was required of her without complaint or the fact that Khushi was wearing a turquoise blue sari that looked as though it belonged to his range;it was similar -in fact he hated to think but it looked better than his design and with her hair was loose she looked ravishing.

He had never seen her like this.

Nani and Di stared on in silent awe -they knew Khushi but they had never seen her speak like that to anyone let alone Arnav . Khushi was an integral part of Arnav life ,she would work from Shantivan or the office as required . They knew she kept Arnav on an even kneel she had simmered him down since the time she started working .

"Khushi bitia - is everything ok ?"

"Sorry Nani ji , Namaste Nani ji forgive for speaking like that in your home - I'll be leaving now "
