Raman -tell me papa, agar main aapka beta nahi hota toh bhi kya Aap mujhe yeh CEO ki job dete, according to my qualification .he asked blankly making mr bhalla look at him. He looked at ishita with questioning eyes.
Raman -she is my friend, main laaya hoon isse, leave her, u tell me answer of the question I asked.
Mr bhalla -why u r asking such a question puttar ,arent u happy with ur job and salary.
Raman -job, mujhe toh koi job di hi nahi aapne, bas cheque de diya and like an idiot I was believing that I earned it, but usse earn karne ke liye maine kuch bhi nahi kiya ,I am not even following the rules and regulations levied by u on ur employees. Toh aakhir kaise hua main aapki company ka employee and if I am not ur employee then why u gave me this cheque.
Mr bhalla -coz u r my son and u wanted to earn.
Raman -aur agar main aapka beta nahi hota toh, toh kya tab bhi Aap mujhe yeh job dete.
Mr bhalla look at him, he was asking making a very serious face.
Raman -tell me papa, agar main aapka beta nahi hota, toh bhi kya mujhe yeh job milti.
Mr bhalla -no puttar, agar tum mere bete nahi hote to job milna toh dur, u can't even step into my office. U r here just because u r my son. He said honestly making Raman's face fell.
Raman -papa, Aap mujhe apne office mein nahi aane dete. He asked making a cute baby face.
Mr bhalla and ishita smiled at his innocence and Mr bhalla said-woh tab hota naa puttar ji, jab Aap hamare bete nahi hote but Aap toh hamare beta hi, jaan se bhi pyaare ho, aapko kaise mana kar sakte hai hum kisi bhi kaam ke liye.
Raman -but still, u told me that, u gave me this job only because of my relationship with u, not because of my qualifications. So I don't want this job. u give me another job. Joh meri qualification ke laayak ho. he said making mr bhalla confuse.
Mr bhalla -ok I will give u some job, but I am not understanding why u want to work puttar. Tumhe paise ki zarurat hai. Tell me how much u want ,I will give u.
Raman -no papa, I don't want money. I want to earn money. Aap mujhe job denge ki main kahin aur dhoondhoo. He said with an angry pout.
Mr bhalla -ok OK, I will give u job. Woh bhi tumhare qualification ke hisaab se. He said and start thinking and then said-store manager ki job hai. Will u do it.
Raman -yes I will do this, kya karna hoga. Aur kitni salary milegi.
Mr bhalla -u have to keep track of the files kept there and will have to give them if anyone come to take any file. U will get twenty thousand per month, karoge.
Raman nodded and said -ok I will do. Then he look at ishita and said-now u r happy naa.
Ishita nodded and looked down smiling while Mr bhalla looked at them and realised how and why his son is changing.
Mr bhalla thought for sometime and said -but Ek choti si problem hai.
Ishra looked at Mr bhalla and raman asked -u have to go to college, then how u will work full eight hours.
Raman -huh, phir kya hoga. Ab main kaise kaam karunga, aur jaise paise kamaunga.
Mr bhalla -i have an idea, but only u have to take help of any of ur friend.
Raman -help, kaisi help and how can my friend help in it.
Mr bhalla -agar tumhara koi dost tumhare saath work karen toh u have to work only four hours.
Ishra look at each other all confused when Mr bhalla said-both -ok let me tell u more clearly, see ur college is from nine to three, if u came here after three, u will reach here at four, toh agar tumhara koi friend tumhare saath kaam karne ko ready ho jaaye toh both of u can work here till,eight from four. Toh tum dono ke mila kar eight hours ho jayenge and I will pay twenty thousand combined to u too.
Raman looked at him with confused eyes and said-aur agar main akele kaam karun toh only four hours.
Mr bhalla -then I can pay u only ten thousand,aur baat sirf paison ke nahi hai, I won't keep any employee for four hours work. If u want I can give u privilege as u r my son, but it's against company's rule. A employee has to work for eight hours. He said making a straight face.
Raman -no no I don't want any privilege, but from where I will find a friend who will work with me, just for ten thousand bugs. Mere toh saare friends bahut rich hai, he was thinking when ishita said meekly-sir, can I work with him. I am in need of money, if u can give this job to me I will be obliged, main pura mann lagaa kar kaam karungi. She said making mr bhalla's eyes twinkled. He exactly want this to happen.
He was about to say yes when Raman said -no no, why u will work. I will work for u naa, dekh ishita tujhe bahut padhna hai. Main toh kam padh kar bhi kaam chala lunga but u shouldn't waste ur time in all this, OK tu job mat kar, I will do it for u. He said ever do sincerity making mr bhalla and ishita smile.
Mr bhalla -but raman I think this is a good idea, if she will work with u, she can teach u also. I will pay extra money to her for teaching u. Isse tumhari padhayi bhi ho jayegi aur ishita ko income bhi ho jayegi.
Raman start thinking about it hearing his father's words, when ishita said-no sir, I don't need money to teach raman. He is so good and my good friend too, I will not take anything for teaching him. But yes I will help him in studying. She said looking down making mr bhalla smile while Raman smiled widely hearing his praise from her. He was getting excited like a kid just thinking about spending time with ishita , and said -ok papa, we will work together and earn together, and when we will be free we will study together. OK, ishita.
Ishita nodded happily but then her face fell. Mr bhalla realised her change in expression and asked -what happened puttar, koi problem hai.nahi Karna chahti kya job, puttar u will get experience and good remarks from my company.
Ishita -no sir, it's not about it. Actually I don't know appa manenge ki nahi. He is very orthodox kind off, he don't like girls studying and earning.
Mr bhalla -agar tumne himmat dikhayi hai aur baahar padhne nikal paayi ho toh yeh bhi kar lo. Waise I will talk to him, he will not stop u. And about ur safety, Raman will pick and drop u home safely, tu kar deha naa puttar.
Raman nodded happily.
Mr bhalla -so problem sorted, from tomorrow u will have to join. I am calling my secretary, he will take u to the department head, he will give appointment letter to u two along with ur half month salary, means five thousand each.
Ishita -no sir, we can't take this before our job. I means I can't take this.
Mr bhalla -please puttar, don't be so formal. It's our company's police to give 20% salary in advance while giving job, tumhe 50 % de raha hoon. Don't worry, it will be adjusted later. OK, now go and enjoy. He said while Ishra was going out when Mr bhalla said-raman, u go and take the appointment letter and ur advance salary while Ishita can sit here.
Ishra look at each other and ishita said -i want to go sir, u must be busy.
Mr bhalla -i want to talk to u. Can't u give me some time.
Ishita look at Raman, he said -ok u sit here with papa, while I just come. Ishita nodded and sat in front of mr bhalla while Raman went out.
