“Bye, sir.” Both hung up the call and Reena got back working on the sample designs.
It was 4:00pm. Nandu chacha was preparing tea for the entire staff, at that moment Murli walked into the office, and kept all the snacks in the kitchen.
“Beta; tumee aata mein kai sangoo. Dekh plate mein sab daal, aur sabko de.”
“Kaie chacha, ata; mee kaie karnar? Mein toh, wohi karoonga chacha. Aap chinta maat karo” Yeh ladka kabhi nahi sudrega. Nandu chacha told within him. After he finished preparing tea for everyone, he told Murli to get the plates, tissues out and keep it on the table near to Rohini madam. All the plates were kept on the table, with all mouth watering snacks, like samosa’s, dhokla’s, aloo tikki’s, puffs and kaju katri sweet. Mr. Dowlani entered the office, called all the staff and told Reena to come forward.
“Today you have made our company very proud. Your hard work and patience has paid off Reena. This is a small gift from the company for your immense dedication towards your work. Wish you all the best.” Everyone cheered and clapped their hands. Tears of joy flowed down her eyes.
“I am speechless. Nothing of this could have happened without everyone’s support. Thank you all for having trusting in me.”
She then paused for a moment and “Thank you sir for believing in me.” Reena then touched Mr. Dowlani’s feet and took his blessings.
Meanwhile, Mr. Dowlani told the entire staff that by 5:30pm everyone could leave the office. All jumped with joy enjoying the hot cup of chai with the mouth watering snacks. As Mr. Dowlani was heading to his cabin, he voiced Nandu chaacha and requested him to get him a cup of his favorite green tea. As the staff were having good light moments, clicking snaps, teasing Reena, Nandu chaacha with a smile walked up to Mr. Dowlani’s cabin and served him tea with dhokla’s.
“Chaacha kya hua?”
“Saab; yeh apne accha kiya. Sab log itne kush hai, khas kar Reena bitiya”
Sipping hot cup of tea, he got up from his seat, and opened the blinds of the cabin window “Chaacha Reena mein kuch baat hai. Jahan jatee hai udhar kushiyan hee kushiyan hotee hai. Bahoot mehnatee ladki hai. Ek din mujse bhi aagae jaayegi.”
“Saab sahi bolae. Arey dhokla toh apne khaya nahin”
“Mein khaloonga chaacha, apne khaya?”
“Nahin ab tak nahin”
“Chaacha aap dus saal se yaahan kaam kar rahe hain. Aaj apki chooti. Jaoo aap bhi khushiyan manao. Chaliyae jaaeeae”
Chaacha didn’t know what to say. He just smiled and before leaving his cabin turned around “Saab dhanyawad. Aap insaan ke roop mein devtaa hai.”
Mr. Dowlani smilingly embraced chaacha patted his back and told him to go.
