Chapter
40
Akbar entered the Songara office carrying a brown bag
as he proceeded towards to Pratap's cabin Ruqqaiya tried to garner his
attention but failed as Akbar found out on their date about her treatment
towards the people of the lower strata of society which he disliked so he ended
it by giving an excuse of a personal emergency. He went into the room without
glancing at anyone
Pratap's Cabin
The two pregnant women were calm which was scaring the
rest of the gang
Chakri: Som you are being a child they would not do
such a thing. Right Baujiraj
Pratap: I have no idea Chakrapani
Som: I told you if pregnant women cravings are not
satisfied they get angry like real bad and then volcanoes burst, earth shakes,
rains descend and meteor falls across the sky creating a big hole in the ground
Akbar: how is everyone doing?
Everyone looked at him scared whereas the two women
eyed him like they were studying him carefully
Akbar: hello my beautiful ladies - how are we doing
today? How are my nephew/nieces doing? You know I got you both a present
Ajabde and Subho: Present?
He put the brown paper bag on the table making the girls
mouth drop open
Ajabde: You did not
Akbar: I did
Subho: Is it what I think it is?
Akbar: Ladies I give you two medium chocolate
Frappuccino with extra whipped cream, chocolate sauce drizzle and I even
managed to get cherries on the top
Ajabde and Subho each take a glass sipping into the chocolatey
heaven: You are our hero
Akbar just smiled as the women were enjoying the drinks
he turned around to see his friends looking at him curiously
Akbar: I have an eye on that flower pot's cell - was keeping
a watch when a message about Starbucks was sent so I followed up on it
Som: Message? Who received it?
Akbar: Gauhar Jaan
Ajabde: She sent my Starbucks order to Uday Singh's
dirty mistress and then she looked at her husband - Fire her now
Akbar: Bhabijaan the Frappuccino (gestures for the drink
which she sips on again) I'm more worried about the latter part of her message
actually
Pratap: Has he found out about him?
Akbar: looks like it which means we are all going to be
there tonight
Chakri: Where is Phool now? On seeing his wife's glare
on mention of flower pot he quickly added - shouldn't she be back with their
drinks
Ajabde and Subho hide giggles making everyone stare at
them but Khetu's entry distracted them all. She handed Pratap all the important
documents for the upcoming meeting he had to chair before the contracts and
tenders conference and even informed them about the success of their plan. As
she was leaving she saw the Starbucks bag and asked which branch did they get
it from?
Akbar: They opened a new one in the central market near
the old cinema house
Khetu: Alright
Som: Why do you ask?
Khetu: because the one down the road from here has been
closed for renovations since last week and even the road has been diverted due
to the pot-holes situation.
Som: So how do the buses go there now?
Khetu: Ummm you have to change at least 3 buses now as the
direct one has been stopped. That is why some of the employees requested HR to
grant them some leeway in reaching the office a bit late. Even I got stuck in
the traffic today - had to walk all the way from that diversion board
Khetu left the office unaware that the women were
carrying wide grins on their faces while the guys were shaking their heads
On the other hand Phool was not having a nice time at
all - poor flower pot had to walk in the scorching sun for 45mins in heels to
get her boss's wife the drink she craved and when she reached Starbucks -
Closed for Renovation Sign stared right back at her making her really angry -
so angry that she stomped her leg which caused he stiletto heel to break-
Hopping on one foot she reached the cobbler who had just stood up to get some
food but looking at Phool he did her heel first
Phool: Thank you so much for helping me (tries to
flirt)
Cobbler: Madam I just wanted to get you out of the way
so that I can go to sleep otherwise you and your broken heel would stare at me
and not let me rest and it's 30Rs
Phool: Rs30?
Cobbler: Do you want me to undo my work?
Phool: Here you go and she went back to the bus station
to wait for a bus where an elderly lady told her - no bus stops here anymore
due to the diversion - you need to walk down for the next stop beta and if I
were you I would get myself slippers as those heels of yours won't survive
Phool already fed up did not heed to the elderly ladies
advice and ended up breaking the newly repaired heels all over again and had to
walk back barefoot. By the end of it Phool's fair face was all black due to the
dust and pollution, she was barefoot her broken heels lying on the roadside
while she was sweating heavily. She thought that if Pratap saw how many
hardships she had faced today he would definitely comfort her but the Songara
office glass doors opened and the gang came out totally disregarding the black
beauty that stood there but she was seen by a certain person who went to her
and placed a Rs20 bill in her hands - I only have 20 on me at the moment aunty.
There is a small cafeteria nearby please have something to eat from there
before Phool could say a word a voice called out
Chakri: Som let's go it's getting late
Som went and joined his friends and they all soon left
for their destination
