Roopa packed her handbag and laptop ready to leave at 3PM when the boys interjected her in the aisle.
“Hey roopa, where are you going? We booked the conference room for us” Amar asked, surprised to see roopa leave so early.
“Sorry guys, I will be leaving early for the next few days to pick up sonu. Prakash is going out of station on work.” Roopa replied
“But roopa, you promised…” Sameer responded quickly
“I know, I know, but please understand ok.. Once Prakash is back I can stay late” roopa said, smiling and pinching Sameer's cheek.
“Ok guys i am getting late, i will see you tomorrow” roopa quickly added and left.
Back at home roopa packed prakash bags and handed him his tea. “I packed everything as usual, do you need anything else?” roopa asked
“No, I am good roopa” Prakash replied, taking the cup of tea.
The doorbell rang. Prakash got up to open.
“Hey, hello, what are you guys doing here?” Prakash asked, surprised and invited Rahul, Amar and Sameer.
“Oh.. we came drop of some work stuff for roopaji” rahul fumbled as roopa faced turned red in anger.
“Looks like you all are busy, we will come back later” Rahul quickly offered.
“No no.., have a seat and have some tea” Prakash replied and signalled roopa to get some tea for them.
“We are busy and you have to leave, they can come back later” roopa responded as they sat down.
“It's fine, anyway I am leaving in a few mins and you guys can get to work after that” prakash replied.
Not to make a scene, Roopa went to the kitchen to make some tea for boys.
“Ya i am leaving for 2 days, some work in our branch office. It's usually every few months” prakash chatted with the boys as they sipped their tea and roopa sat in silence. After a few mins roopa signalled prakash of the time. It was 7PM.
“I better get started, you guys continue to enjoy the tea. I will see you all later” prakash said. He got up to hug his son and give him a kiss. Roopa handed him his bag and prakash gave her a quick kiss on her cheek and took the bag.
“Take care, i will call you once i reach” Prakash said to Roopa and left.
Roopa and sonu waved him goodbye from the balcony and wished him a safe journey as they saw him take a taxi and finally out of sight.
