Chapter 10: encounter in work.

The next day at Johan's office.

Okay, today we also have a wedding to arrange. Everyone let's do our best as always so that it will be a memorable day for the couple that will start their life together. Let's make it a day that they will remember through all their shared life and…

Like that Johan continued his speech and everyone fired up for the event was getting ready. Preparations were made. Johan called for David amidst the work:

Did you call me Johan?

Yes, I have something I must tell you.

David became a little nervous hearing that line. Because Johan said it with a straight and serious face, unlike his usual self.

Okay, I am hearing.

Johan laughs and says:

No need to be nervous. I just wanted to inform you that you will be directly involved in the preparations this time. Also, you will be present at the site for work this time not working on the back.

Oh, that's it. You made me nervous I thought something serious had happened. Wait, what do you mean I will be working at the front?

Hmm, it means you will be working on-site.

Wait, but I have never done that. Also, what will happen to the person with whom I will be working instead?

If you mean that, there is no problem. He took a leave because of their mother's sickness. That's why I said you will work in their stead. Also, it will be a good experience for you as well. You can also learn more about our work.

But…

Johan interrupts David's talking and says:

No buts, first of all, for some reason you have to leave and work at some other place they will require you to know all about the field of work. And things that have to be done. Be it from sides or directly involved. Secondly, you can't always do the same work. This way you will become lazier, and you will not improve. Thirdly, as I said last night. Knowledge will always come in handy so it's better to know more about these things. Fourthly, if you know more there is a possibility you can get into a higher position if you start working at another place. Fifthly…

Okay, I get it. I will do the work.

That's a better response.

David sighs and says:

You never stop making points.

Well, that is a good thing about me. It means I have a lot of reasons for what I do. And, that I have thought things through.

I know, mister know it all.

There is no need to be grumpy. You will get bald and old soon if you continue like that.

Whose fault do you think that would be?

How am I supposed to know?

It's you.

Really? Why? I don't remember making things bad for you.

Okay, let's leave it at that. You will remember what I mean when I don't cook.

No, I remembered. I figured it all out. Anything but that.

David chuckles.

Good that you know then.

You are mean. you know how much I like your cooking, but you still do this to me.

Oh, I didn't know.

Johan stares at David with daggering eyes.

Really? You didn't know?

Maybe I did. But it was my revenge. Serves you right.

We will continue this over dinner. Now let's get back to work. There is a lot to be done.

Okay, let's go.

The event preparations were being made. People were moving and setting the hall. Cooks were cooking the food, and everyone was doing their work for the event. David who was appointed as the manager was finding work hard. Because he had never done this type of work before. Johan was also present at the place and was providing support for David so that things would go neatly, and everything would be done properly.

At last, everything was finished, and the staff was ready to hold the wedding ceremony.

The night arrived. And it was time for guests to arrive. The hosts had arrived early to see if everything was done properly and to greet the guests. The host was talking with Johan and David as they were in charge. While talking a voice was heard.

Everyone sorry that I am late.

The host turned and said:

Finally, you arrived. What happened that took you a lot of time?

I was getting prepared and there was also heavy traffic.

David was looking shocked. Johan noticing that took his phone out and took a photo of the surprised David. Hearing the snap of the camera David came to his senses and asked:

What are you doing?

Nothing, it was a long time since I saw you like that, so I wanted to remember it. But, what happened that made you become like that?

David pointing at Khatoon said to Johan.

She is the lady I was talking about.

Oh, is that so? Good for you then. But remember that you are the manager so be careful of your work as well as talking with her. You can talk to her a lot during work since she is a host.

Johan makes a devilish grin.

As if I would do that knowing you.

Why? What have I done? Can't you see how innocent I am?

Yeah, I would rather believe that pigs fly.

Okay, I won't bother you. But don't let your encounter cause problems for your work.

I will be careful. But I won't guarantee that everything will go well. After all, I am still not used to this type of work.

I know, just do your best. If anything happens just contact me.

I will do that then. I apologize in advance for the inconvenience.

Really? You don't look sorry.

Whatever. It is your fault.

I know that's why I said I would help.

After that Johan continues talking with the host while David and Khatoon get separated from them so to show them the preparations that have been made.

I didn't think I would see you here sir. What a lucky coincidence.

Yes, it is indeed lucky.

So, this is where you work?

Yes, but I don't work on-site always. It is my first time. Usually, I work from the sides.

Will you be all right then?

Well, I have to start from somewhere. And, Johan said he would help if anything happened.

Is Johan the person my uncle was talking with?

Yes, that is Johan. He is my friend as well. The goldsmith I told you about.

Oh, I see. Then I should give him my thanks.

David and Khatoon were talking while looking around the hall. Later Johan and Khatoon's uncle also joined them. After some time, the guests started arriving as well. Things were going at a normal pace as well.
