Chapter 3, Gajra.

SIYAS POV

The college hours finally came to an end. The whole teasing, laughing and joking thing ended for today.

I tried my best to make Aarvi feel good despite how low she was feeling and yes she did felt good.

"Oye mujhe jaldi batai kya plan karegi tu kyuki mujhe bahut zor se sourav joshi ka dance aa rha hai" I said nudging at her, with a smirk.

"Chappal se marungi" she said trying to control her laugh.

We walked together for a minute but then she have to change the route so we waved at each other and i turned on my way too.

After walking for more than five minutes I finally reached on the main road of the city. As I was walking on the pedestrian side, my eyes landed on a small child selling 'gajra'.

How i wish these children were also provided with all the facilities and education.

The young boy looked at me, his sulking face and exhausted eyes met mine, he came running towards me "Didi-Didi..." He said stopping in front of me.

"Do you want some mogra gajra?" He asked curiously.

I shook my head, "Please Didi take one, they are very beautiful and really fresh" the boy said, his beautiful eyes losing its shine.

What would I do with these Gajras? They are of no use to me, I have never really worn something like this and there's no one to whom I can give these to.

But if i don't buy it today, even after his pleas. Guilt will follow me till death bed.

I sighed to myself "Okay, so what's the price of one?" I questioned, as I bended towards him a little.

"Only 30₹" he answered with a wide smile.

"Itna mehanga...?"

"It's not expensive, Really. Or baki sab 50₹ mai bech rhe hain didi" he said trying to convince me like a real saleman.

"Okay then, give me one." I said and get my money from my Tote bag.

He gave me a mogra/Jasmine gajra and i handed him a note of 50₹.

The gajra were smelling so heavenly and sweet, and suddenly I am happy that I bought it though it's not like i will use it, but so what?

"Didi wait a minute, I will get change from the near shop. I don't have any money in me right now" he flustered a little.

I looked at the time, it was already nearly 5:29 p.m.

My part time job is about to start.

"No it's fine, you keep it" I said hurriedly and putted the gajras wrapped in a big green leaf in my bag.

He hesitated but still "Th-Thanks didi" he said.

I smiled " Bye Bye" I said and walked as fast as I could have

After 15 minutes I finally reached my location, the restaurant-Mayaorz.

And as soon as I entered I saw him... YUDHVEER?!

My bad luck is really bad todayyyyy, okay so this person yudhveer is really rude and inconsiderate, he doesn't care about anything.

Aditya the owners son is usually present over here and he is really nice and friendly, oh god! Why me??

I walked towards the counter as he was sitting in cashiers place. He saw and threw glares at me and signed me to 'come inside the kitchen. Now.'

Ohkay sir but I am coming, I cried internally.

I walked inside and Yudhveer scolded me for coming so late but I was only 10 mins late.

"You should just quit this freakin' job if you can't even come on time" he said.

And i just mumbled "Sorry sirr..."

"Go and get orders, now!" He shouted once before going out of the kitchen.

I finally took my breath, Chandni came towards me "Arey yaar tu theek to hai na?" She asked worriedly.

"Mujhe kya hoga,?" I said with a smile, i lowered my voice "Ab Inka to Roz ka hai, kya farak padta hai" I said and she giggled and hit on my shoulders.

I dramatically rubbed on the place she hit, I started wearing my apron as something struck me, I pulled out the gajras and gave them to Chandni "Take it, I don't know why I brought them but I don't wear gajras, and I have seen you wearing them one day." I said and she smiled like a child.

"Wow, they are so beautiful" she adjusted them right there in her hairs, "So beautiful, thank you!" She said.

I smiled sweetly and nodded. I headed outside and Chandni's duty ended she told me whose orders haven't been taken by now and I started to take orders while she waved at me and headed out.

ISHVAY'S POV

Though I came today but honestly, never in my life will I do this same mistake.

They are annoying, all these old hags.

I looked around us, we were sitting farther away from the whole restaurant in the most corner.

A girl started talking orders sequence wise and then came towards our table.

'I think I have seen her somewhere...Oh yes the girl from the street a few minutes ago'

'Oh god! I shouldn't have come, maybe stayed in the office, or even home either!' I complained to myself.

The others started giving their orders one by one and I gave whatever I saw first in the menu.

The girl noted down everything, but I caught the old people sitting beside me...seeing her with those disgusting eyes?

Maybe she didn't notice all that, since she was busy writing down things.

I felt weird, more than just weird. As they wetted their lips with their tongue.

The girl left from there and they all saw each other, one of them said "Look at her, such a beauty"

"For real, a night with a girl like her and..." Another said while laughing disgustingly.

"I bet, such a girl wouldn't be clean-" another one was saying something, and me hearing all this nonsense wasn't able to control the urge to throw their chairs and they feel on the marbel floor.

My chair scraped back with a screech sound, the trio looked at me in surprise.

"Sir?" The first one said "W-what happened?" He asked as they were just talking about visiting a temple once a week at least and I got angry for not visiting daily.

I smiled widely "That I just realised you guys are dirtiest of dirtiest animal present on earth and I bet even pigs are better than you and Since I am a human I thought it's quite inconsiderate sitting here with you all, So I will leave you here by yourselves" I said took my jacket, the smile vanishing into a dark glint "Make sure to not show yourselves again." I said and left from there.

The trio also came outside behind me to probably ask or talk about what happened but till then I have already settled inside my car.
