Aditi Shlok
If I had to say my first imperesion on anyone how it would like its kinda as that ;you won't like me and the most affectionate reason for this, as from me and for else would likely unexceptable; I have opinion in eveything, an alcoholic I am and I earn way too much.
Independent, smart, cunning, persuasive, flirty as some would say and I believe.
This would be expected by most of the people if I were a man, but I, a women in a country like India which is progressing still, along with the atrocious socity around the globe.
And so like this, my honourable colleauge, Mr. Divan was not accepting a 'women's' advice on our ongoing case.
Maa ki aank khud ko smajhta kya hai(What the hell does he think of himself) I was like in the moment.
"Your idea might be good but not the best" He said adjusting his tie.
"Mr. Divan, my idea might not be 'the best' but I do am 'the best' " I respired back sqauring my shoulders.
"Ah, Miss Aditi, you are new to this..." he shaked his head in sarcastic manner, smirking.
"New to this? Let me remind you if you have forgotten..." I cut him in the middle "... I am the best criminal lawyer in the entire country you could ever get" I hissed at him inches away from his face.
"We can have anyone we want" He baked up and pointed out arrogantly. God!
"Mr Divan...I might tell you..." I gave him a piercing expression but...
"Oh no, you should not tell, us anything to do, we can manage" he break in interupting me which I didn't like in any way.
"I have won each and every case in last four years" I pointed out the fact very calmly and turns to other associates, and ofcourse just like always they nodded their head in agreement but didn't utter a single words. Fuckers!
"You were best..." Mr. Ahir Divan snapped his fingers on my face, having my eyes upon him "... but as a women you'll only last..."
"Ha..." I chukled concietedly at him and he just folded his arms against his chest, though I continued "...you know very well..." I was nose to nose with him at this point "...mine, drawdown...can cause you a hardship"
The one hell of man he was he just smirked and hissed "...Just as you wish" FUCKER!
"Mr. Divan...as much of horrid person you are..." on my saying of that the less-too-many people crowd gasped "...I am not interested in having a case with you and may I remind you...if I am not into this..." I pointed to the file "...youl will lose and..." I added with the most genuine eyes stepping back "...if you have such a dignifying problem, I am out of this" I threw the file at his face and was out of the door.
Mr. Ahir Divan, as much as of a charismatingly capitivated man he was, an asshole within indeed.
I am really a calm person but that type of situation and people does annoyes me.
"Aditi?" The cared up voice of my assistent stoped me on my tracks outside my office.
"Yeah?" I addressed her, the concerned on her was clear to edge.
"Everything's fine?...I heard high pitched voice of Mr. Divan from the meeting room...and you are..." She draged the 'r' to god knows where.
"Oh, don't worry..." I assured her "...he just don't feel about his beguilness, much...it just that I am out of the case"
"What!" she screeched in shock with her eyes shot up altogether.
"Relax..." I caresses her shoulders and said "...nothing for you to worry about, in my absence they will lose and will be calling me in that vary second" I knew they will.
I smiled up at her, a buoy smile and gave her hug.
"Oh baby relax..." I winked at her "...and go, do some work" pushed her to the way of her workstation.
She made a preternatural face whirl onto her heels and was off to the her worstation.
I sighed and sauntered into my office, got my belongings and was out of the office building.
Siya, my asisstant, had been with me for last three years and was most generous one ever, a very good friend and overreactive- sometimes. She knew very well how to deal with me during my foul mood so in the jovial and was well aware with the head-to-head conviction in between me and vainglorious Advocate Ahir Divan, everyone in th office was. With the start of our sesion together, we didn't get a last more then thirty minutes. Fucking-Freaking-Asshole!
I reached the parking lot, got into the car and started the engine, taking it to follow the lane on which the afternoon berries were teared of and evening delights were welcomed with mountain tea. Hmmm .. tea. Dehradhuns special tea.
I had been living here from past four years after my graduation from oxford. I missed it and my kookies.
I looked up and came to faced up my own self in the rearview mirror.
I remembered when I won debates in highschool on women empowerment but seeing these days— well its in progress, just few fellows meddling with it.
Bhosdike!
It was late evening when I get back to my apartment building The Mirage. Like name like place, captivating lane and the lake which sleeps in front of it was the most priceless veiw as the trim-dim light
falling upon gave a mirror-heaven look . I parked the car in the lot and take the elevator up to my floor.
My apartment was messed up with piles of papers and magazines, documents everywhere, being an attorney could be difficult though interesting , specialy when you are well earned and settled up above everything.
I changed from my advocate attire to something comfy but classy- I just love fashion.
I started cleaning up, piling up everything together as I was no longer interwind with the case but I got the feeling, like always they will be coming to me.
I was going through the piles of documents just when the doorbell rang and I ran to it, swang it open. There was a delivery man, a very hot one, standing gracessly at my doorstep, expressionless.
I leaned onto me door and asked expextantly"Yes?"
"Miss Aditi Shlok?" He asked back, So fucking sensule voice!
"Before that..." I hold up and hand "...please come in" I gave him enough space by swinging the door a little more for him get in and without any brawl he complied and piled in.
I gesture for him to sit on the couch and get a glass of water for him.
I get it, its a little wierd, doing things for delivery man, but he also does so much of hard work, he desevered it. And he was hot, very much!
When I get water for him he was whirling his head back and forth taking un everthing. Hmmm, admiring perhaps? Can't be sure.
There were papers, papers and papers everywhere with bottles of wine, very sterling ones, what could he found admirable?
I handed him the glass of water and the way he drank it...I could not take my eyes off him. He was fuckingly hot, very good looking but a delivery man. Well, doesn't matter every job has its own value and if I could I would...I better do not get onto those thoughts! I scolded myself and freaking eyed him again. Great!
When he was done I asked him for anything else but he declined my offer in hic luscious voice.
"Ok, so... I am Aditi Shlok" I admitted at last and poised up in front of him.
"This a courier for you..."he handed me a letter "...and please sign here" That freaking man was just so formal. Didn't he had eyes for extremely sexy women standing in front of him? God!
I took the letter and signed where he asked me to.
Man! If you ask me to sign even on you, I will do it.
He stands up and said " Ok, so thank you very much, I should go now" What! Nooooo, don't go...why so soon?
Yet, instead of saying this I just nodded and opened the door for him to leave and so he left.
Maal tha yaar! I take deep heavy breath and curled myself in the couch where he was sitting with the letter.
Just then my eyes land on the picture of very special person in my life, friend, lover or whatever, he's very special. We were together in school and a long while ago we had confessed our feelings to each other but still not together, didn't knew what was stopping us. He's the very best Ahtlete, always roaming around the world and no matter how busy I would be, I never missed his one, single game, he's a great player. We talked sometimes, well always, we had time for 'us' always. We were far, still close, still far, just complicated. Fucking great!
I shaked my head getting those thoughts out and check the envelope, it was a yellow envelope, my name beautifully singned on it and a stamp
Stamp? This stuck something.
I tore it open and the news insinde it was fucking great.
"Yayyyyy!" I shouted out a jolliously and dance around the apartment. Freaking happy I was. Fucking finaly it was the time.
That letter...

Evening!
