Chapter 30: Martha Stewart
Kruthika was lost in her thoughts.
"Hey. What are you thinking of?", came a voice beside her which disturbed her thoughts. It was Emily.
"Oh nothing. What's up?", asked Kruthika being cheerful in her voice and turned her head side upwards towards Emily.
"Nothing Kruthi. It's just. I'm not feeling like to work today", Emily said as she sat beside.
"Why? What happened? Did George break up with you?", asked Kruthika.
"Nothing like that. I just feel like tired. I need a long vacation to rest and to enjoy", Emily said.
"Yeah. Why don't you take a vacation and again come back to work freshly. I read somewhere taking a break from your work occasionally is good and studies proved that the employees become much more productive than before", Kruthika said as she saw the people rushing to the airport.
"I'm thinking of it. But I'll ask in June and take vacation from middle of like on 17th or something", Emily said,"Do you wanna a gum?"
"Yep. So discuss it with George. What's the time?", Kruthika asked as she started to chew the gum.
"We still have ten minutes. We'll stay for seven to eight minutes and then go. What do you say?", Emily asked. Kruthika agreed to her.
They were listening to music, observing the people, vehicles and planes. Later they went to the tower to their block and resumed the work that previous shift has paused. She finished her work and returned to home. After freshing up she went to kitchen and prepared the breakfast.
Since it was Monday morning no one woke early until Kruthika shouts I'm the drawing room reminding them about their job.
"Hey wake up. Time's already 8 o'clock. Sachin. Hemanth. Wake up!", Kruthika shouted banging their room door.
"Coming. Five more minutes!", replied a voice in the room.
"Hey wake up. Anirudh. Sudeep. Look at clock it's 8 am!", Kruthika screamed. She rubber her neck as screaming and shouting hurted her thorax.
"Two more minutes. I'll come", said Anirudh.
She thought of waking up Abhikshith but she didn't knew his shooting timings.
Abhikshith came down rubbing his eyes.
"Good morning. How was your sleep?", asked Kruthika.
"Good", said Abhikshith and sat on the dining table. He's eyes were closing slowly.
"Are you still sleepy?", Kruthika asked.
"Good", said Abhikshith who was sleeping on his hands resting on table.
Kruthika smiled to herself looking at his state and at his irrelevant answer to her question.
Everyone woke up, had breakfast, got dressed and went to their jobs, Anirudh and Sudeep to their office, Sachin and Abhikshith to their studios and Hemanth to his research laboratory.
Kruthika slept and woke up as usual got dressed for her classes. She went to the park to conduct the yoga for the kids.
She observed Rupert wasn't present, she started the class with revising the previous day's asanas. After few minutes she could see two women and two children approaching her. One woman was wearing her jeans and purple blue check shirt who had blue eyes and red hair in her mid thirties whom she recognised as Rachel Rupert's mom and there was a boy with the them who had chubby cheeks and blue eyes as his mother.
Other women was dressed in formals who had black hair and brown eyes and was taller than Rachel she looked in her post thirties and a girl who dressed in her yoga pants who was having brown hairs and blue eyes she couldn't recognise them.
"Sorry for being late. Rupert go and join", Rachel said, "Well this is Martha Stewart and it's her daughter Lisa"
Martha continued, "Hello. She's my daughter Lisa, Lisa and Rupert both are classmates.Rupert once mentioned to her about the yoga class he's attending and Lisa wanted to join your class. So I came here to enquire about it and join her to the class".
"Well... I'm sorry but I can't take few more students to the class. The kids over here know about yama, niyama, asanas and pratyahara. And it's been going well. If I read it additional student I've to teach her everything from beginning, which I can't", Kruthika answered looking at Martha and Lisa.
"Why don't teach her after this class? My daughter is a very quick learner and I know she'll learn it very fast", Martha said looking at Kruthika but there was no tone of politeness from her.
"Firstly, I've many things to do and I'm busy throughout the day. I can't teach her lessons privately because of my schedule. Secondly, it's not about mugging up things like one does in school. It's about values and principles where one adopts in their life and it takes time. Thirdly, don't repeat that tone with me again", Kruthika said looking to her eyes.
"Will you show me your passport? I'm a police officer", Martha said as showed her badge to her.
"Wait a minute", Kruthika said and handed the passport to her from her sling bag, "Here it is. May I see your badge?"
They both looked into each other's eyes, Martha gave her badge to her. Rachel stood she didn't know what was happening.
"You did mention about yama and niyama, right? What are they?", Martha asked as she gave the passport to her.
"Yoga has eight basic limbs. Which are yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dhyana, dharana and samadhi. All these eight are important. Yama which is ethical rules and niyama is principles. It's like a moral education to them the kids. They must not only know these things but also follow them in thier life", Kruthika said.
"Okay. Sorry about my behavior towards you. Can you try to take her classes?", Martha said.
"No. I'm really busy whole day. I'm taking this class as my hobby", Kruthika said.
"It's fine then. I've to go", Martha said and they both left.
Kruthika just continued her class and after finishing it she attended the music class.
She reached home around 7 and prepared the dinner. Abhikshith and Sachin were already present at home before her.
