Daksh held his head with disappointment and sighed.
'Its easy to handle the whole market than this family' saying this with a smile he walked to the car.
In the hot afternoon as sun was overhead. From the window slight sun rays fell on the desk filled with files and paper as a slim hand flipped through them.
'Its child labour' a murmured voice came through.
'You are not a child' simmi replied writing in her diary making notes of the balance sheet in front.
Naira turned to face simmi and stick her tongue out to her. Sun rays fall on her face making her delicate features look more soft.
She stretched her arms upward and leaned back in her chair 'But this is not fair it's our first day as interns and they gave us so much of work' she cried pitifully
'What you expected free salary and no struggle' simmi questioned with no expressions while she keep writing.
'You act quite practical with me but can't say a word to others huh?' she questioned squinting her eyes towards her face focuses on work.
Simmi gulped and evaded her sight blushing 'umm... I prefer not to say anything' and start focusing on her work again.
'Yea yea' Naira said as she rolled her head on the table.
Naira got back up and rotates her pen on her thumb scannig her surrounding then she noticed that most of the employees doesn't matter girls or boys were all looking at them. They moved back to work as soon as she looked back.
She quickly turned the chair and starts writing as well just then clock strike 1 in the afternoon and everyone started getting up.
Simmi also put her pen down 'I guess its break time' she said looking around.
Naira also got up. 'Yea let's go to cafeteria I am starving' Naira answered touching her stomach.
Both put their work down and got up getting ready to go out. Simmi fixed her dress and Naira stretched her back 'Lets go' she said.
~mere khwaabo me jo aaye~ humming a song to herself Naira made her way out along with simmi. They walked towards the lift as cafeteria was floors above.
As she was getting close to the lift her eyes fell on Daksh who was returning to the office through the front doors. He walked to the lift and press the button to call it.
Naira also reached close to the lift and tried best to avoid him hiding behind his back in a bind spot. Simmi noticed her peculiar behaviour and pulled on her sleeves making her walk forward.
One of the lift was still going up which means they have to wait long for that one after calculating that Naira grabbed simmi's hand and ran towards the lift Daksh just entered in a jiffy.
Daksh moved few steps back swiftly seeing two people entering like bulls. He was furious seeing such disrespectful behaviour from employees.
'Excuse...' before he could complete the sentence Naira turned around to look up at him.
Then Daksh remembered that face, those eyes same as what he saw just few hours ago. His anger dissipated in a second and he couldn't say a thing to her.
'I should warn her not to do this again but why can't I say anything' he thought
Naira stared at him as he started back in a daze simmi realized the awkwardness and tried to break the silence 'Ahmm... you going to cafeteria?' she asked Daksh
Her words broke him away from the daze and from Naira and brought him back to reality. He looked at her and just then lift's door open, it was their floor. Both girls got off and doors closed back.
Simmi turned to look at the door and said 'I guess the answer is no' shrugging
'There are some people who are not doing a single work and then there's us who has been given all the work of this world on the first day itself' Niara mocked.
Aliya was standing nearby and saw both of them getting out from the VIP lift. She was shocked as well as angry.
'How dare they do that?' she exclaimed
Simmi sat down after taking her meal 'Wait I will bring my coffee' Naira said in a hurry and she ran towards the counter.
Aliya reached her and grabbed her by the arms and dragged her in the corner, turning her around to face her.
'I just saw you getting out of that lift, who do you think you are?' she questioned angrily
'Another lift was not there so I used this one' she replied with a confused expression. She had no idea why she is getting scolded without mistake just for using the lift.
'Just because you are new doesn't mean you will do anything. That lift is a VIP lift only used by the boss and his close associates' she said angrily
'How dare you do that? Its disrespectful to the company even I can't enter that one and you had the guts' she continued scolding
'I am sorry I had no idea please forgive us and please don't say anything to simmi' she bowed down and apologized. Naira knew better than to argue with an arrogant woman like Aliya and it was her fault too so she took the responsibility.
'... But there was another man in there who used that one, that's why we entered' she recalled about him
'Then bring that person to me too I will discipline you all' she replied
'Now as your department manager I order you to go buy coffee for everyone as a punishment' she ordered Naira pointing towards the door.
She turned around and sighed walking back to the lift she cried 'I wanted to eat not fair'.
As she reached there she avoided that so called VIP lift like epidemic and entered the staff one 'First day ruined check' she said to herself leaning back on the walls of lift.
'That guy he entered in so confidently like he own this place. She should have seem him' she huffed
'I will get back to you wait' Naira promised herself.
