Four emotionally drained siblings sat around the table to discuss the terms and conditions calmly, as the storm in the name of ASR had passed..All including Payal was eager to know what Khushi wanted.


"Anjali ji, woh kya hai ki ghar ki halat aisa hai ki hum donon ko bahar aake, itni dher tak kaam karne mein mushkil hoga. Hamare buaji ki tabiyak itni achi nahi aur tho aur hamare baabuji aur amma bhi aa rahe hai Lucknow se. Tho jab tak ghar mein sab shaant ho jaayega tab tak kya hum zyada se zyada kaam ghar mein kar sakte hai?. Aur hum aisi achanak Kedar ji jo, hume sweets ke contract dete, unko bhi nahi chod sakte hai, tho woh kaam bhi karna hai. Yeh sab changes ke liye,. aap chahe hamare salary mein cut kar sakte hai. (Anjali ji, the conditions aat home r such that we cant both stay out for long. Buajis health is not good n our parents r coming from lucknow as well. until all things settle at home can we do more work from home? We cant suddenly stop supplying sweets to Kedarji, so that is there as well, if u want u can cut the salary)Doosri baat, kya hum dono app aur Akash ji ke saat kaam kar sakte hai? Aur kya hum kahin aur kaam kar sakte hai kya, jaise aapka koi aur office ho, ya aapke ghar, kahin bhi... Aapko pata hai na apke bhai ko humara shakal dekhna bhi pasand nahin(Secondly can we work under u and akashji? Or can we work somewhere else like a diff office or ur house, anywhere but here, you know ur brother does not want to see me face)All thought the demands were reasonable, but Anjali not being sure if they could be fulfilled in her chote's corporate world looked expectedly at Akash to do the necessary talks. She could trust Akash in this matter as he was not prejudiced.
Akash thought for a while and finally replied, "Di, Actually yeh sab hamare liye bhi achanak hi hai, tho kyon na hum ek hafte ke baad kaam shuru karen. Inke ghar ka haalat bhi thoda settle hoga aur hum bhi is project ka initial setup kar sakte hai. What say??. Rahi baat kahin aur kaam karne ki, abhi tho ye nahi ho sakta hai, haan aap dono mujhe report kar sakte ho yaa kuch important ho tho Aman se baat kar sakte ho, aapko bhai ke paas jaane ki zaroorat nahi. Abhi tho woh doosra workshop jo hum tayyar kar rahe hai uska legal papers abhi baaki hai tho tab tak kuch nahi kar sakte hai "
(Di actually this is all new to us as well, lets start work from next week, their home front will be settled and we can do the initial setup of the project. About working from elsewhere, it is not possible. yeah u can both report to me, talk to aman if anything imp u dont have to go to bro. The legal papers of the other workshop is pending, cant do anything until then)
Anjali getting all excited said, "then Akash, humme bhi is project mein laga lo, hum bhi kuch karte hai, aur hum bhi kaam ghar se karna seeklenge. Kyon kaisa rahega??.(Put me also in this project, I can also do some work from home).. surprising everyone at the table.. Looking at the blank faces she continued "Aise kyon dekh hare hai aap log, sachi mein, mujhe bhi thoda kaam aata hai,.. humne bhi business pada hai, aur usse zyada seekha hai apne bhaiyon se. Aur Khushi ji aur Payal ji ko dekhe hume bhi utsaah ho raha hai.. (Why r u all looking at me, I can also do some work, Even I have studied business, and learnt more from my brothers. I am excited to work looking at Payal and you Khushi ji)
Without wanting to burst her enthusiasm, Akash expressed his doubt, "Kya bhai aapko kaam karne denge aur tho aur Jijaji,.. (will bro let u work and then jijaji)
However, there was no stopping Anjali now, "Arre Chote tho hume kabhi nahi chodenge, lekin humme manana aata hai. Rahi baat aappke jijaji ka, arre wahi tho aaj humme office chodke gaye, humme poora yakeen hai woh kuch nahin kahenge (Chote will never agree, but I know how to make him. Your jijaji will not say anything, he himself dropped me off here today )
Khushi and Payal were satisfied with the one week time, with nothing more to say, Akash finally called it a day, "Teek hai, Payal ji aur Khushi ji, bahut bahut shukriya, aap dono agale hafte se report ho jayiye, tab tak hum initial setup kar lenge. Agar kuch changes ho tho hum apko phone kar lenge, please aapka number dedijiye. Aapka appointment letter aapke ghar bhejdenge hum, (Ok then, thanks a lot, lets start next week, till then we can get it started here. if any changes will call n let u know, please leave ur numbers, will send ur app letters home) then winking at his Di, "di aapka bhi !!(di yours as well)
Anjali hugged khushi apologising, "Humme maaf keejiye khushiji jo bhi chote ne kiye aapke saat aur us contract wali baat keliye.(Sorry Khushi ji for chotes behaviour and for taking the contract) Khushi not the one to shy away said, "Aap kyon maafi maangege Anjaliji,..(u dont have to apologise) Payal stood up to leave, "Teek hai dhanyavaad (ok then thank you).. While leaving Payal walked over to Akash and said, "Hum umeed karte hai is baar Khushi ko yahan kuch nahi hoga.(I trust in you that nothing will happen to Khushi this time) Akash just gave her an understanding nod..
The two sisters after informing Buaji, took a long walk to Devi maiyyas home, mulling over all the happennings of the day, each in their own thoughts, without saying anything to the other. Only Devi Maiyya could guide them in their new life changing endeavours..
