Stars and Fireflies - Manan

Chapter 22

Nandini's pro

I was in my cabin when I heard someone shouting angrily. I moved out of my cabin and moved towards riya's desk from where the voice of scolding was coming. As soon as I reached there I saw manik sir glaring at riya whereas riya was standing with bowed head as if she has found something important on
the floor.

"May I know wat is happening in this office, why everyone is busy laughing and gossiping don't you all have work" he shouted again angrily making me shiver. I haven't seen him so angry till now he was literally fuming making me scared.

"Now get back to work" he said and turned in my direction making me look at him with wide eyes.

"Now you are gone nandu, itne gusse m h ajj aur mere taraf hi arahe h. Kya jarrurat thi bahar aane ki duffer" I mentally scolded myself and started preparing myself for scolding.
When he was about to reach me I immediately closed my eyes tightly ready for his scolding and waited for him to speak.
I waited for few seconds but heard nothing so inorder to confirm I slowly opened my eyes and got startled. He was standing right infront of me but wait a second he is not looking angry anymore.

"Inhe kya hua abhi toh sab pe gussa karre the ek dum se shant kaise hogae" I was busy thinking the reason behind change in his behaviour when he spoke gaining my attention

"Wat are you doing here?" He asked with an amused expressions making me nervous.

" Goood morning....vo m..." I stammered badly making him smirk.

"Good morning ms nandini, get me my coffee asap" he said and went in his cabin leaving me baffled.

"Stupid nandini unke samne tere bolti kyo band hojate h hamesha" while scolding myself I left to bring his coffee.

I was preparing his coffee when I got a call from some unknown number.

"Hello" I answered the call.

"Hello, kya m nandini se baat kar sakte hu" voice of a women came from the other side.

"Ji bolre hu, ap kon" I asked suspiciously not recognising the voice.

"Nandini puttar m manik ki dadi baat karte hu, kl mile thena hum log party m" said nandini.

"Ohh sorry dadi ji m pehchan nahi pae, namaste ap kaise ho" I apologised.

"Arre beta koi baat nahi, m bilkul theek tum kaise ho" she asked.

"M bhi theek hu dadi ji, apko koi kaam tha mujhse" I asked curiously.

"Arre ha m toh bhul hi gae baato m vo manik agaya kya office" she asked.

"Ji abhi ae h sir" I informed her.

"Uska mood kaisa h" she asked.

"Voo... Thode gusse m toh lagre h" I said recalling the incident that happened a while ago.

"Pta tha mujhe iss ladke ka m kya karu gusse me aage kuch nahi dikhta iss, ajj breakfast bhi nahi kiya aur ab kam m lunch ka bhi koi atta pta nahi h" dadi complained worriedly.

"Koi h bhi toh nahi iska khayal rakhne ko" she continued " chalo beta m rakhti hu ab tumhe bhi kam hoga" saying this she ended the call leaving behind a worried nandini.

"Kya hua hoga aisa jo unhone breakfast bhi nahi kiya" I was busy thinking all this when suddenly I saw the coffee mug in my hand.

"Sahi bola dadi ne gusse ke aage kuch nahi dikhta tabhi toh bina kuch khae coffee pene wale h ayiappa ab kya karu" I thought when suddenly I got an idea. I immediately prepared his coffee and went towards my cabin.
