Thank You everyone!
Part 1
Kash Fashion House
"Beta..ghar nahin chalna?" asked Aparajit. "Dad..I'll go as soon as I finish" replied Angad while going through designs.
"Beta tumhe araam karna chaiye…subhe se kam kar rahe ho…tumne lunch bhi nahin kiya" said Aparajit.
"Don't worry dad…if I don't eat lunch for a day…I'll still live" said Angad.
"Thik hai beta…ghar jhaldi aajana" said Aparajit.
It hurt Aparajit to see his only son…living like this…all due to death of Kali…it had been 6 months till that incident but Angad still didn't move on with life. The old Angad knew his responsibilities in the fashion house but he would enjoy life…but now all Angad would do is work as if he lost the reason to live.
Like many girls even she was thinking of her knight in shining armor.
"Kya soch rahi hai?" asked a woman in her middle adulthood.
"Yehi soch rahi hoon masi ki jo mere khwaabon me aata hai…vo mere samne kab aayega?"
"Paagli"
As Kripa thought of her Knight...this song played in the background
(Mere khwaabon mein jo aaye
Aake mujhe chhed jaaye) - 2
Usse kaho kabhi saamne to aaye
Mere khwaabon mein jo aaye
Aake mujhe chhed jaaye
Usse kaho kabhi saamne to aaye
Mere khwaabon mein jo aaye
Kaisa hai, kaun hai woh, jaane kahan hai
Ho, kaisa hai, kaun hai woh, jaane kahan hai
Jiske liye mere honton pe haan hai
Apna hai ya begaana hai woh
Sach hai ya koi afsaan hai woh
Dekhe ghoor ghoor ke yunhi door door se
Usse kaho meri neend naa churaaye
Mere khwaabon mein jo aaye
Aake mujhe chhed jaaye
Usse kaho kabhi saamne to aaye
Mere khwaabon mein jo aaye
Jaadu sa jaise koi chalne laga hai
Ho, jaadu sa jaise koi chalne laga hai
Main kya karoon, dil machalne laga hai
Tera deewana hoon, kehta hai woh
Chhup chhupke phir kyoon rehta hai woh
Kar baitha bhool woh, le aaya phool woh
Usse kaho jaaye chaand leke aaye
(Mere khwaabon mein jo aaye
Aake mujhe chhed jaaye) - 2
Usse kaho kabhi saamne to aaye
La la, la la la la laa la - 2
"Kripa!...Kripa!....andar aa…barish mein mat bhig…thand lag jaye gi" yelled Moni. "Kuch nahin hota massi...kitna maaza aa raha hai" yelled Kripa while playing in the rain.
"Ab tujhe kaun samajae...par kal subhe interview hai...jhaldi nahin uthana kiya?" asked Moni.
"Main to bhul hi gaye…abhi aye" said Kripa as she ran inside the house all wet.
Next Morning
"Ufooh…masi mere certificates ki file kaha hai" yelled Kripa as she ran through out the house while fixing her duppata
"Study table pe rakhi hai" Moni yelled as she made breakfast
"Mil gayi" Kripa picked up her file
"Yeh le breakfast kar le" Moni said
"Nahin masi mein late ho rahi hoon…ab chalti hoon mein" Kripa picked up her bag
"Par…" Moni tried to stop Kripa
"Bye masi" Kripa left the house
Kripa was impatiently sitting in the taxi caught in traffic, "Bhai saab aur kitni der?" Kripa asked impatiently. "Bas thodi der aur" the taxi driver replied.
Waheguru Ji jhaldi paucha dena, Kripa silently prayed inside her head.
After 30 minutes, Kripa finally reached Kash Fashion House. Her interview was supposed to start at 10:00 AM and it was 10:15 AM, she was 15 minutes late. Kripa ran inside to the receptionist.
"Mera interview tha…Mr.Khanna se" Kripa said to the receptionist.
"Ok…app vaha wait keejiye"
The receptionist called Angad, "Sir…Ms. Kripa Sharma ka interview tha 10:00 AM ka, vo ab pauch gaye"
"Unhe keh do ki mein unka interview nahin lene wala…she is 15 minutes late…time has an essence"
"Ok sir" the receptionist said and hung up.
The receptionist called Kripa "Ms. Kripa Sharma…Mr. Khanna ne app se mil ne se maana kardiya…"
"Lekin kyun? app unse firse kahiye na" said Kripa
"Vo nahin milenge..."
"Kaise nahin milenge…mein sirf 15 minutes late hoon…kitni aas laga kea aye thi mein…" Kripa said as her eyes welled up with tears.
"Ma'am app please jaaye…I am sure Mr. Khanna app se nahin milenge."
Kripa turned around to leave as tears rolled down her eyes when she bumped into Aparajit.
"App rou kyun rahi hai?" Aparajit asked
"Vo Mr. Khanna hai na…unhe mera interview lene se mana kardiya…sirf isliye kyun ki mein late aayi vo bhi sirf 15 minutes"
"Tum chainta mat kar…layo mujhe apne certificates dikhao"
"Yeh leejiye" Kripa handed Aparajit the file
Aparajit looked through the file and handed it back to Kripa.
"Tum yahi ruko mein abhi aaya.."
"Ok"
After a few minutes Aparajit came back with a letter in his hand, "Yeh lo…tumhara appointment letter"
"Lekin…mera interview?" asked Kripa
"Maine le to liya…mein Aparajit Khanna…and now Ms. Kripa Sharma you are Angad's new secretary"
"Thank You so much"
"Your welcome beta"
In Angad's Office
"Dad why did you appoint her?"
"Beta she is perfect for the job"
"Dad she doesn't give importance to time"
"How do you know...she was only late today"
"First impression is the last impression"
"Well her first impression on me was that she is perfect for the job and now she is hired"
"Fine dad…but if she doesn't rise up to my expectations she is fired"
"Ok beta…atleast your giving her a chance."
