4.Workaholic and His Savior

A much-awaited morning of my life. Oh! Good morning, by the way, I was talking to myself in front of the mirror. Everyone must have felt once this feeling of something that makes you crazy, I realized it that morning. With every tick-tock of the clock, I wanted time to lapse as fast as possible. The workaholic brain was shouting " Hurry! Adi Hurry! You have to be there as early as possible" on the other hand my melted heart was saying softly " Just Chill Mr. Workoholic you have enough time to be there".
With confused mind, I reached office an hour before, trying to hide from the only person before Anamika who knew that this person is a workaholic.
" Ki re ki bepar, Aaj eto Tara Tari " (What's the matter to early today)
Shit! Bhanu da spotted me and then he called me to his cabin.
Bhanu da: Come to my cabin.
Me: Dada, ektu city te kaaj chhilo.(  I have some work in the city).
Bhanu da: You could have asked me for a day off.
Me: Na bhablam ki ( I thought that)
He interrupted in between.
Bhanu da: Ki bhabli..... Eto bhabis na to ( you don't have to think that much)
Bhanu da: When ( kokhon)
Me: Dui ta somoy.( At 2 pm)
Bhanu da: Thik aache taka lagle niye ja Shantanu theke (Ok, if you need money take it from Shantanu)
Me: Na Na taka lagbe na.
Bhanu da: Aaj eto chomkachhis ki bepar. ( What's the matter, you are shining today)
Me: Kichu na (nothing)
Bhanu da: Achha thik aache, Production report dekhe ne ekbar, Ram aaj aashe ni. ( Ram is absent today so have a look at production report once)
I left and started working as soon as possible so that I won't be late.
After some hours.
Bhanu da entered my cabin "Ki re, he said". Production report is about to finish I replied.
Bhanu da: You had some work at 2 but you are still here.
I turned towards the clock and it's 5, Shit! Shit! Shit! This workaholic brain ruined everything. God knows I will get to see her or not.
Bhanu da: I told you only to have a look not to clear up Ram's pending work.
You fool ADITYA you fool, no one can change you, you idiot. I started scolding myself and again Bhanu da interrupted me and said, one and half hour drive can get you there and handed over me his car keys.
Bhanu da: That girl must be special, I guess.
Shockingly turned towards him and said," How". He replied with a smile for the first time I have seen you trying to balance your work life and social life my friend and pushed me saying take the upper road for Munna's cafeteria. His every statement was a shock for me because no one knew about my regular visit to MUNNA'S 5 STAR CAFETERIA then I asked him,I have never told anyone about my visit to the cafe, how you get to know so much about my visit.
Bhanu da: I saw your too and fro motion from cafe to bus stand just to hand over a note. That's romantic.
I hugged him and thanked him for the keys. I was smiling with tears in my eyes but the interruption in my feelings a must so Bhanu da slapped me and again I was shocked, why a slap?
Bhanu da: You idiot Run! What are you waiting for? we can discuss this topic later.
I started running again.....
" The outcome of my story doesn't matter today but saviors like Gholtu, Munna, Bhanu da and many more made my story successful."
I reached Munna's cafeteria and parked the car in the best idiotic way possible and reached Cafe's entrance.
She was there ..... Huhhhhhhh taking long breathe. Air in and slowly out I started smiling because she was there caressing her tresses enjoying her ram pyari. I entered Munna's cafe slowly as if I was not in hurry and ordered Munna "Ekta cappachino ar bakery biscuit" (one cappuccino and baked biscuits) and grab the chair in front of her.
Anamika- Don't you see the empty chairs.
Me- But it's my regular table.
Anamika- For your kind attention it's 6:30 and now it's my time.
Me- But it's my spot too.
Anamika- So
Me- So, what. I know I am late today but me being late doesn't mean that I can't enjoy at my regular spot.
Anamika- Mr workaholic for several years you have never been late and suddenly what happened.
Me- I was late at work today
I lied to her but why. I have never lied before. Just to spend some time with her. Am I changing myself? Why am I lying?
Anamika- Is everything alright Mr. Workoholic and you don't seem to be a lazy person.
My heart knew that he doesn't want to start on a ground which he can't stand on so I told her.
Me- Actually the fact is that I got lost in work today and missed it for the first time.
Anamika- Oh my God....... Mr punctual workaholic missed it.....wait today you are not reacting on "workaholic"
Me- Yes Mr punctual got late today and I realized that I am a freak or as you say, workaholic.
Anamika- Finally you realized it but still spending extra time in office and you are not a freak, you are just extra ....a little extra dedicated towards your work.
Me- You are just like Bhanu da
Anamika- I know
Me- Wait. What? You know him.
Anamika- No. Uff Arey baba In everyone's life there is someone who's qualities resemble other. By the way in a single meeting, you realized too much. I guess someone here is intentionally getting late.
Me- It's not like that.
Anamika- Okay but today you have to sit somewhere else.
Me- but I thought we became friends.
Anamika replied with a sarcastic tone "really". I silently turned and moved towards the other corner. Today nothing is going well not even my savior Gholtu was on time. For the first time, I was at the other corner of this cafe from here only visible thing is cafeteria and Anamika. Gholtu was there with Ram pyari. I yelled at Gholtu for bringing me the wrong order then Gholtu replied Anamika di boleche( ordered by Anamika di for you). I turned towards her table and she was right in front of me.
Anamika- Enjoy enjoy Mr workaholic enjoy. You don't get bored sitting in the same place always try to explore something new.
Me- Don't we share the same table.
Anamika- Who said that.
Me- You said that.
Anamika- Oh that I was joking
Me- What?
Anamika- The only guy in this cafeteria who was not enjoying enough that's why I thought you need a company.
I was angry but at the same time, I was happy too. She was there and frankly speaking I wanted to kiss her.
Anamika- Adi again you are lost. Stay here leave your work in the office, please.
Me- Sorry, But you could have told me that.
Anamika- That's the fun my boy. Don't say that you didn't like it.
Me- Yes... But
Anamika- Bsss kotha shes ( End of discussion). Now enjoy this ram pyari from this new seat, always try to explore something new Adiholic, life is too short to stick in a place.
" That day I got a nickname ADIHOLIC and even today whenever I am late for evening ram pyari she used to call me that after that day every moment I spent with her either in the cafeteria or outside she gave me plenty of nicknames and with every name bond between us was getting stronger day by day and series of giving names to each other started."
