Coffee Chats

The second cup of coffee was getting colder on her table. Both the cups stood side by side. Dai had come the second time to remind her to drink the coffee.

"कफि चिसो भई सक्यो," (the coffee is cold) was his repeated remark.

"एक छिन दाइ म अहिले खान्छु," (Hold on, I will finish up in sometime) was her brief say.

She got back to her work again , her hands were moving briskly on the computer. As always there were piles of work to be accomplished. Time is never a constraint factor, a thought winded in her mind and as fast as the thought came that fast it flew away as well. She again got back to her work.

Dai came the third time to remind her of the coffee. A smile flew across her lips.

"हुन्छ दाइ खादैछु ल," (I am just having it brother) she said.

Dai seated on the nearby chair, this time making sure she doesn't forget her promise, while she was cautious enough to finish up her coffee. She finished the cold coffee in a sip; threw a smile at dai and got back to her work.

This was her daily routine. She had numerous reasons to not take care of herself. Sometime it would be work, the other time also it would be some more work. Dai went away with the cups and she was left aback thinking with works overhead.


She scrolled back to her daily routine. *Work* was synonymous to her bestest friend around now. Friends would call her up and they always had plenty of complains to start the chat with.

"Are you the only one working in this whole world? Everyone is busy. Everyone has got work, but you?" She would try to say something, but the words remained unheard. Family members had their say on her busy-ness. Everyone had complains-smaller or bigger complains existed.

Was she trying to hide herself under something??
Was she trying to over-do things?? 
Was there any way out??
Was she.....?? Plenty of questions surrounded her, "I have been a douchbag of questions,"she mumbled. Questions that were in need of answers desperately.

She jolted her head and called out, "दाइ मलाई एक कप कफि चाहियो" (Dai, I need a cup of coffee).

Dai was chuckling over her request, coz this was the first time she was asking  for a cup of coffee again. Dai smiled to her and started brewing the coffee. She got back to her work. 

Our coffee chats :-)!
