I was hastily making tea.
Mister Shah was finally out of bounds because of all the skeptical looks Yashpal sir gave him.
And now I was back to "work".
I had a scheduled audition at Gurukul this evening, I had informed sir about it and he was ready to let me go only after I completed my work properly.
Evening was only fifteen minutes away.
"A.. I can do this. You practice for the audition.", Vikram bhai said.
"Nehi nehi Vikram bhai.. Boss ko pata chal gaya toh hum dono ko fire kar denge.", I said pouring milk into the vessel on stove.
Vikram bhai nodded, knowing it was indeed the truth.
I glanced out and something caught my eye.
I looked closely.
Obviously.
That was Mister Shah, standing behind a wall, and peeping in occassionally. I glanced up at the clocked.
His meeting must have finally ended and this is what he made of his free time.
Yashpal sir arrived suddenly, clearing his throat.
I immediately looked back into the vessel.
"What is your stalker ex going to take to leave?", He asked coldly.
I smiled awkwardly.
"Arrey woh toh regular visitor hai sir. Pura din yehi baithe rehte the.. bechare A ki haath ki chai aur khaana miss kar rahe honge ", Vikram bhai said.
"Deepu ne bataya tumhara ek aur ex hai jo mere gairhazri mein aaya tha.", Yashpal sir said.
I couldn't look up in embarrassment.
"Dekho Anupamaa, as long as yeh log pay karke khaana khaye mujhe koi problem nehi hai.."
"Boss, pay karte hai dono hi. Free mein toh A inhe yahan saas bhi na lene de.", Vikram bhai said immediately.
"Theek hai. Woh stalker king ko andar bulwa lo. Business mein faida ho toh theek hai.", Yashpal sir said.
I glanced at him awkwardly.
"And you can leave after five minutes.", He added before walking away.
Vikram bhai immediately jogged down to the door and brought Mister Shah in.
Mister Shah and him were having their own little battle of giving death glares.
They shared their death glare and Yashpal sir went to the reception area, while Mister Shah took a seat a little before the kitchen.
Just then Shruti walked in through the door.
My heart skipped a beat.
Why is she here?
She directly walked down to the kitchen. Yashpal sir had just opened his phone and was now immersed in it. Mister Shah was having a casual chat with Vikram bhai.
"Joshi Ben..", Shruti paused awkwardly, "I mean Anupamaa.. mujhe aapse kuch baat karni hai."
I drew in a cold breath.
I glanced at the clock. It was almost time.
"Shruti ji.. aap aur aapke AK.. aap dono ki problem hai. Mujhe isme jitna kam ghasitengi utna hi aacha rahega. Mujhse unhe closure chahiye tha, maine unhe woh de diya. Ab baaki aapki marzi. Aapko unke saath rehna ho ya na rehna ho, isme mai kuch nehi kar sakti.. na hi karna chahti hu.", I said plainly.
"Lekin AK abhi bhi aapse hi pyaar karte hai.. maine woh live kia.. uske baad mujhe khud bohot regret hua.. maine AK se baat ki toh unhone mujhse maafi maangi..", I heard her voice break even through her hushed whisper, "Lekin yeh bhi kaha ki woh sirf aapke hai."
