Respect and regret

So when Aayat came to the office the next day, she sat down to work and did her job efficiently. However, her strict boss, Mr. Ayaan Ahmad, kept taunting her over everything. She had been working there for three years, and just like any other day, she arrived at the office and got busy with her tasks.

So she didn’t know that Ayaan had a brother too.She was busy with her work when Ayaan’s brother, Mr. Zaviyaar Ahmad, who often visited the company, happened to pass by her desk. As soon as Aayat noticed someone walking past, she stopped him and asked, “Where are you going?“He replied, “I have a meeting with Mr. Ayaan Ahmad regarding that matter.”

Hearing this, Aayat started backbiting about her boss, Mr. Ayaan, so much that Mr. Zaviyaar was left in shock. Suddenly, a voice came from behind, “Brother, let’s go. We have a meeting to attend, right?“As soon as Aayat turned around, she saw her boss, Mr. Ayaan, standing there. Her heart sank, and it felt like the ground had slipped from under her feet when she realized that Mr. Zaviyaar was none other than Mr. Ayaan’s brother.😨Now she was completely shocked and started thinking, “What have I done?“And she said, “Ugh! What do I even do with this brain of mine? I’m always running my mouth! Oh my God! Now I’ll have to go tomorrow and apologize to Mr. Zaviyaar again.

And saying this, she left the office.The next day, as soon as Aayat arrived at the office, she quickly went to Mr. Zaviyaar’s cabin and apologized to him.

Mr. Zaviyaar laughed and said, “It’s okay! I know my brother very well. He isn’t exactly how he appears to be—he just hides his feelings.“”Oh, I’m sorry, Mr. Zaviyaar! I didn’t know he was your brother, and that he isn’t really the way he seems. Since you said so…” Aayat said and then laughed.

“Oh, no problem, dear. Even I used to do the same thing in school when I was a kid, and then I’d regret it, thinking, ‘Oh my God! I embarrassed myself so much!’ But it’s okay, you’re like my little sister. Besides, my dad and your dad are friends, which means they’re like brothers. So that makes you my sister too! And of course, a brother should treat his sister to something. So, would you like to eat something? Tell me!

Aayat pov:

Aayat said to herself, “Oh my gosh! I wish he were my boss. I would actually look forward to coming to the office every day. I’d be so excited that I’d wake up at 4 AM just to get here! But instead, I got stuck with that grumpy boss. Oh well, for now, I should just focus on the food.”

Then she looked at Mr. Zaviyaar and said, “Oh, i will have chowmin.As soon as the chow mein arrived, Aayat started eating it eagerly. Then, she looked at Mr. Zaviyaar and said, “I wish you were our boss. Our life would be so much better.”

Mr. Zaviyaar replied, “Oh dear, if we got everything we wanted in life, what would life even be? That’s why you need to learn to live life as it comes. That’s what life is—difficulties come and go. For now, focus on your food and tell me, what’s going on?“She said, “Thank you, Mr. Zaviyaar, for telling me about my little sister.Mr. Zaviyaar said, “Talha.”

Aayat replied, “What? What Talha?”

Mr. Zaviyaar smiled and said, “Talha. Talha is my nickname. And since we are friends, friends call each other by their nicknames, right? So from today, you will call me Talha. Okay?

“Oh, thank you so much, Mr. Zaviyaar. Oh, sorry, Talha. By the way, my nickname is Aayu. Okay? From today, you will call me Aayu. Okay, Mr. Talha?“As soon as they sat down to eat, a voice suddenly rang out, and when everyone turned around, it was Mr. Ayaan Ahmad. He said, “Mr. Zaviyaar, what are you doing here? This is not your place. You’re having lunch with this girl? Get up and come with me for lunch. Now!”

Suddenly, Mr. Zaviyaar stood up and said, “Shut up, and I don’t want to hear another word from you. Get out of here right now! This is not your office, it’s mine. Do you understand? And how dare you treat your employee like this? She’s your employee, not your bought toy!“He continued, “You think you can do whatever you want with her and she’ll just tolerate it, right? Well, this is my office, and I’ve already told you once. Now, get out of here!“Mr. Ayaan left, crying. Then, Aayat said, “What did you do, Talha? He’s your older brother, and you should have handled things better with him.”

Talha replied, “Did you not see how he was treating you? I can’t tolerate that in my office. I won’t allow it.”

Aayat responded, “Oh... Oh my God! You have some serious anger issues, I didn’t know that. I feel really bad for Mr. Ayaan. You shouldn’t have done that to him. He has respect in this office. And even if he didn’t treat me like this, what difference does it make? You’re with me, right? You shouldn’t have done that. You need to get up and apologize to him. Okay?”

Talha said, “You’re absolutely right, Miss Aayat. I shouldn’t have done that with him. And you’re right, if I can’t respect him at home, how can I do so here in the office? He’s my older brother, and I shouldn’t have treated him that way. Thank you for pointing that out. I’m going now to apologize to him. Okay?”

Miss Aayat said, “Oh, finally you’ve realized your mistake. Now, quickly get up and apologize to him, okay? Anyway, the office time is almost over. We’ll meet tomorrow, InshaAllah. Now go and apologize to him. I’m leaving now. Okay, Allah Hafiz.“and she leave
