~ CHAPTER EIGHT ~
Cabir, Dhruv and Mukti exchanged surprised glances amongst themselves as an "Ahhooowwwfffshittt!" followed by a painful hiss spat out from Manik's cabin.
"What was that?" mumbled Mukti with her eyebrows raised questioningly.
As realization dawned upon Cabir, his incredulous squint instantly dissolved into a bright exhilarated smile. He shot up from his chair and darted right into Manik's cabin to find him doubled over in anguish.
A petrified Nandini stood rooted to her spot with a trembling hand clapped over her open mouth. Her eyes were as round as guavas.
Manik was heaving deeply and trembling all over as he fumbled like a maniac with the soaked and stained documents. The veins on his neck throbbed madly and threatened to pop itself.
"Dude, you okay?" asked Cabir with concern and eyed the wet patch on Manik's pants. "I thought I heard sausages sizzling on a hot griddle," he added sarcastically with a wince. Manik looked mad enough to blow up the entire building. His face was a deep shade of crimson, his eyes were blood shot and his nostrils flared wildly.
"These were important," said Manik in a deeply strained and breathless voice as he picked up the soggy documents.
"I-I'm s-so-sorry," Nandini finally found her voice but had a tough time keeping it stable. "I di-didn't mean to... It just..."
Cabir watched the both of them carefully. Nandini was in a pathetic state. It looked like she would break down crying any moment. Manik on the other hand was boiling mad. So mad that his eyes rolled in its sockets.
"Those were cheques," growled Manik in a low voice as he fixed his angry glare on Nandini, "salary cheques. Five hundred of them. All ready to go today. What do you want me to tell them?"
"I'm sorry," whispered Nandini in a trembling voice. "It was an accident. I don't know how it happ..."
But Manik cut her off. "You want me to tell them that? That I'm sorry?"
"N-no... I..." Nandini was visibly shuddering now.
"No?" asked Manik with a lopsided smile, "Then what do you want me to tell them? That some clumsy, dim-witted dumbass spilt coffee over the cheques?"
The clumsy, dim-witted dumbass comment hit her hard. Tears started to spill over. She was totally lost now and felt miserable and guilty as heck.
"These cheques were for the workers on the site," breathed Manik as he flashed the soggy cheques before her eyes, "do you know what's going to happen if they don't get paid on time?"
Cabir's mind was working up a storm. Better do something fast. Or there's going to be a nasty scene right now. When Manik loses it, he simply loses it.
"Do you or don't you?" repeated Manik firmly but Nandini was completely petrified. "I suppose you don't," he continued, "so I'll tell you what's going to happen. They're going to march up to our office and ram down the doors."
Cabir nodded his head. You can't be serious, he thought to himself, ram down the doors? Seriously? Do you really think that the others are as crazy as you are?
"And what do you want me to tell the Accounts guys?" he prodded again. "The Payroll department, the Finance department?"
"Guys-guys-guys just chill-chill-chill," interrupted Cabir, "let's not get too worked up. We'll sort this out. Okay? Trust me. And Manik, you'd better head to the washroom and get yourself dried up. Good thing that your pants are black today."
Cabir managed to push Manik out of the cabin.
Mukti and Dhruv squinted at Manik as he stormed out of the department. She passed a confused look to Dhruv to which he answered with a "no idea" shrug.
Meanwhile, in the cabin, Nandini struggled to get a grip on herself.
"Don't worry," consoled Cabir, "it's not as bad as it sounds. This guy is pretty talented when it comes to blowing up a big balloon out of nothing. So don't worry. It's something that can be sorted out."
"I-I shouldn't ha-have come back," she stammered through her tears, "I made a mistake."
"See look Nandini," said Cabir, "he hired you for the job because he believes in your skills. And mostly, the job of an HR goes to those who can be trusted. So..."
But Nandini interrupted him. "I don't think that he'd trust me anymore, I'm such a klutz."
By now, Mukti and Dhruv were at the cabin's door. "Guys, what's wrong?" asked Mukti curiously as she eyed Nandini bury her face in her hands. "Is she crying? What the hell happened?"
"Long story," said Cabir, "but hey, just stick out your tongue for a moment."
"Huh?" Mukti was surprised. "My tongue? For what?"
"Just stick it out," he ordered.
"But why?" asked Mukti, her eyebrows raised questioningly.
"Just do it," he said sternly.
"Fine! Whatever!" Mukti stuck out her tongue whilst Cabir took a closer look. "What is it?" she asked curiously as she pulled her tongue back in.
"Was just curious you know," answered Cabir, "I think that you've got an evil tongue."
"Wha-? What do you mean?"
"Remember? Some time back you were fantasizing about punching Manik in the nuts?" Cabir had a lopsided smile on his face.
"What about that?" she asked.
"We-ell," drawled Cabir, "it sort of came true."
"What?!!?" Mukti was astonished. "Seriously?"
"Much worse," said Cabir, "Nandini just scalded his nuts. And everything else in between."
"Hahaha! Oww-my-gawwwd!" Mukti chortled loudly.
Dhruv looked so happy. Vengeance is sweet.
"I need to go," mumbled Nandini as she quickly flicked off her tears and shouldered her way out gently.
"Go? Go where?" Cabir tried to stop her.
"Coming here was a big mistake," she sniffled as she managed to get through them, "this is not for me. I'm such an idiot."
"No yaar," Mukti tried to stop her. "See listen, we can sort this out, okay?"
But Nandini was already at the door with her hand on the handle.
"Nandini!" Cabir called out in an attempt to change her mind, "just listen."
But before she could open the door...
... It SWUNG open with tremendous force and WHAMMED right onto her face!!!
