Chapter – 1
It is Friday, and Friday implies an upbeat day since individuals within the office are upbeat for the coming weekend. And besides there's a half day, individuals are even more cheerful. It was 1 o'clock in the afternoon and Manjiri finished all her work and went to the boss's cabin for the ultimate audit, as before long as she entered, the boss said, Manjiri, this is the contract, I have made a draft, it would be ideal if you type it As we got to send it to the client on Monday for a signature. So get it ready by typing today and give it to me.
The Friday joy on Manjiri's face vanished, she was almost to say that it was time to go home, but that thing remained in her mouth and she seemed as if it were overseeing so say "yes I'll get it done today itself." And hanging her face in despair, she came out of the cabin and, slamming the draft on her work area, sat in her chair and began typing the draft. By at that point it was 1.40, and she had gotten an arrangement to complete the work. Fair than her phone began chiming its "Shreya" she picked up the call and said in pitiful tone "Man, I will not be able to come for today's party, it appears an urgent need has come.I ought to complete a few office paperwork on urgent basis." "If so Manjiri party will starts at 7 in the evening and I think your work will be over before that, so then you can come to the party" Yes you are right dear,ok then let me finish my work quickly. I'll be there in the evening." "ok then we see you in partY". Manjiri hung up the phone and resumed her work. It was 2 o'clock people started leaving the office, someone stopped and asked, "Hey Manjiri you are still working," Manjiri replied "yes man, an urgent work has come." Hey man, an urgent work has come and has to be completed, the girl agreed and said, OK then will go home, you also finish the work soon. Manjiri nods in yes and says okay then bye, have a great weekend." There was no one in the office, there was silence all around, Manjiri looked around with her head raised from her desk. And as soon as she looked to her left, the boss's cabin light was on, she immediately lowered her head and started typing. She started saying to her own, oh he hasn't gone yet, come on Manjiri let's finish the work." She looked up straight to the window, it was raining slowly, she thought till her work is over the rain will stop and again she engaged to her work
Her attention was interrupted by a knock on the desk, she looked up to see Peon standing up. He said ma'am it's 3 pm I have to close the office and it's raining outside. When your work is done, I'll close the office. At that, Manjiri stared at Naresh and said: I am only doing the boss's urgent work, and not only me, the boss is also sitting here, can't you see the cabin light is on? At that point the Naresh's attention was drawn to the cabin and his eyes extended. He scratched his head with tension and said that our boss is also sitting, now there will definitely be a delay in going home. Then Manjiri said if you want to do important work, tell your head and go, the key is with your head too. Naresh hesitated and went to boss's cabin and came out with smile on face he said to Manjiri, Madam Boss gave permission to go. Manjiri said OK and while leaving Naresh said ma'am you also leave home early; the rain is getting heavier. At that point Manjiri said alright alright much appreciated you go safe.
It's almost 4 and Manjiri's work has been going to complete as Ashe is about to print the contract, just then her boss has come to her desk and inquired about what's the progress she said it's almost done sir. I am taking print for the same. Neev node and said okey then, after finishing this you can go home, manjiri handed over the contract and said you are going to stay here for more time or what? On this Neev (boss) said yes, will go for final check of contract once. Manjiri nod silently, okay sir! About to pack her stuff, just than her phone vibrated and she picked and saw two new messages from Shreya, who said switch on the tv dear, see what is the condition outside due to rain, just stop where you are, train, bus everything is closed. Water is filled everywhere, on the way.
Manjiri turned on the TV in a hurry and breaking news was coming everywhere that due to heavy rain, water was flooded everywhere. When she looked through the window in front of her, she came to know that it is stormy here and she does not know anything. She hit her head and started murmuring in anger, “All this happened because of that boss, it would have been better if I had left earlier, but the he remembers everything while going home, all the urgent work is remembered only at the time of going home.
Manjiri was murmuring as her boss stood behind her, he said, "I did not know that my employees have so many problems with me" Majiri turned around in fear and started saying sorry sir by lowering her neck. And that work was very important, that's why you were told, if you had the problem, then you would have been told that I would have assigned this work to someone else." No sir I didn't mean that"
"No Madam, I heard what you were saying"
She again said "Sorry sir".
"And I had no idea that the weather would change like this and the situation would become so bad. No one knew that this would happen, there is no fault of anyone in this, forgive me sir. "Neev" you can call me "Neev" sorry sir what? I said, you can call me by my name I am not such an old man who will shout at you if I do not say sir, if I am your age, then you can call me by name This is what I tell everyone but you all are stuck on saying Sir sir. She was still bowing her neck down and saying sorry sir. I said, "Neev" call me by my name young lady.
“ok sir”
“again sir”
“Sorry sir, I mean Neev”
“That’s better, thank you! Will arrange sothing let me call my my driver. Will drop you home.”
“no sir will go by myself”
“Will tell driver to drive you home”.
“and again, you said sir”
“sorry, Neev but there's no need”
“I asked you what should I do tehsi this my order madam”
“First let me find out what is the condition outside, let me know from the driver”
“Sure”!
Manjiri went to her place and sat down.
