CHAPTER 9
Aryan was surprised at who sent him an invitation to work with Rathore Group of Industries. He asked, “So, your boss is interested to become partners, with Rathore Industries.” She answered, “Exactly, Mr. Rathore. We will soon get in contact with your secretary regarding this matter, in Delhi. Thank you very much for accepting this invitation.” Aryan replied, “We are also very thankful to your Boss for this partnership. Is he attending this event? I would like to thank him face to face.” The woman answered, “Sir, I am the Secretary of the heir of the M Groups, so I will be the one to let My Boss know. And, there is one mistake you made Mr. Rathore. The heir of M Groups is not a male, the one and only heir of M Groups, my Employer, is a female. And she is the best Boss ever.” Aryan was even more surprised, he was totally impressed, he was going to say something, when he again got a call. He was shocked during his call, he excused himself from everyone in the hall, and rushed outside the party hall. He reached his car, then drove to a secluded location with high security.
Okay, I want to revel every mystery about Imlie, but now Aryan is also having secrets, himself. Since I am just watching them, and observing their movements, I will sit back, and watch the story unfold slowly. Things are taking such interesting turns, every minute, that, I just want to do a happy dance. I have never witnessed such an interesting, and different type of romantic story unfold, on Earth.
Next morning, at 9 a.m. Aryan went downstairs to where the conference will be held. He saw Mrs. Adhikari, and walked towards her.
Mrs. Adhikari (turned around)- Good Morning, Mr. Rathore, what a pleasant surprise? The personal conference is going to start at 11 a.m., and the public announcement starts at 12 a.m. Till then, how can I help you?
Aryan- Mrs. Adhikari, I am going to arrange today’s security system of the whole event.
As Aryan was saying this, a female voice behind him said,“Pranaya, I have something important to inform you.” Aryan turned around, he saw a young lady formally dressed up, and in mask calling Mrs. Adhikari, walking towards their direction, and a man in mask following her close behind.
Mrs. Adhikari (after looking at the lady)- Eve, now you are coming? And, what is with all this mask?
Imlie/Eve (glancing once at Aryan, then turning towards Mrs. Adhikari)- Mrs. Adhikari, I already informed, I have something important to inform you. I am taking the security responsibility of today’s event.
Aryan (in surprise and showing a permission letter)- Ms. Eve, I am sorry to say, but I am the taking the responsibility, and I also have the permission of Commander Sergeant A. R. Adam for using his whole team.
Imlie/Eve (turning around looking at Aryan)- Good Morning Mr. Rathore. Sorry to say, but I have higher ups permission to handle the security system of the event.
Aryan (in no mood for an argument)- Good Morning, Ms. Eve. Sorry, but where is the permission letter? And, can you speak after removing the mask.
Imlie/Eve (in mood to prove her point)- Mr. Rathore, wait for some minutes, you will know, what am I saying. And, I am on duty, I have to wear this mask.
Aryan (folding his hands in front of his chest)- Ms. Eve, I think, you are not hearing your own words. Do you know, who is Commander Sergeant A. R. Adam is?
Imlie/Eve (also folding her hands in front of her chest)-Mr. Rathore, I have heard about Commander Sergeant A. R. Adam, as well as his achievements, but the person who gave me permission is a higher-ranking person, and also very hard working, recognized and achieved many special achievements. She can even order Mr. A. R. Adam. But for some reasons, I am currently in-charge of everything, till she returns.
Aryan (in a high pitch)- Oh, really? Who is this high-ranking officer-in-charge?
Imlie/Eve (same frequency)- The person who ordered this is…….
Mrs. Adhikari (who till now looked from Aryan to Imlie/Eve to Aryan, shouted)- Shut up both of you, why are you fighting like a married couple?
Aryan & Imlie/Eve (in unison)- No, we are not fighting like a married couple.
Mrs. Adhikari (calming down)- So, if you are not then, tell me what are both of you saying? As far as I know, Mr. Rathore, you are the Rathore Group of Industries owner and your business had never been connected to military, so where is Commander Sergeant A. R. Adam’s permission and taking care of the security of the event is coming in your jurisdiction?
Aryan (stammering)- That…I…mean…..I
Mrs. Adhikari (showing her hand to stop Aryan to let him say anything else)- And, Eve, as far as I know, you are a professional and famous model. You are a singer, dancer and dance choreographer as well. But, the most important thing is that, you are the representative and the Grand Ambassador of M Group of Companies. And, as I know, M Group of Companies, main focus was never on military, and you are also not connected to military, since I know you for 3 years. So, where is security of the event, lies in your book?
Imlie/Eve (showing a boring expression)- Pranaya, please ask your husband to come here.
Mrs. Adhikari (turning around, and gesturing at Mr. Adhikari)-Darling, come here.
Mr. Adhikari (walked towards them, then, coming at a stop and holding his wife at waist)- Yes sweetheart, what is it?
Imlie/Eve (bored at the romantic gesture & in an ordering tone)- Mr. Rohit S. Adhikari
Pranaya (surprised)- Eve? You never call him that.
Rohit (shocked, and ending his romantic gesture, saluting and standing in an attention position)- Sergeant Rohit S. Adhikari reporting to SSR Forces Commanding Sergeant I….
Pranaya (in shock looking at her husband)- What?
Imlie/Eve (annoyed and cutting off Rohit’s words)- Rohit, do I look like the SSR Forces Commanding Sergeant to you?
Rohit (blankly looking at Imlie/Eve)- But, then…..
The person who is in mask behind Imlie/Eve (cutting of Rohit, and ordering)- Rohit, shut up.
Imlie/Eve- Mr. & Mrs. Adhikari, Mr. Rathore, please excuse us for now.
Aryan also gets a call, after Eve leaves with the person behind her. Aryan also excuses himself to receive the call. Aryan picking up the call, said, “SIR, Good Morning”, the other end, replied, “The security of the whole event is handed over to someone else, and you are to cooperate with them. I wish, you don’t face much problems like yesterday. And the details to what’s going on, will be passed on to you as documents, at Delhi, after you return.” Aryan replied, “Okay, Sir. Jai Hind.” As Aryan was returning to the conference hall, he heard something, he peaked in the room right beside the conference hall, without making a sound, and was surprised to see Eve and the man, whose identity he didn’t know talk.
Eve- I stopped all M Groups owners and my family members from reaching Mumbai, for now. I either stopped them outside India or in Delhi, but I need to make sure they don’t reach here, and stay safe where they are. So, increase security around them, without letting them know. Last night, if I had not gone outside the party hall, and detected the bomb beforehand, I don’t know, what would have come down on everyone. I should have looked into this event's security plans, from the very beginning. Not only people in that are here for the conference were at risk, but, civilians in 2 km radius around the bomb location, were also at risk, yesterday. How can I be such a careless person?
The unidentified man- You are not careless. It’s not your fault, the fault was of Mrs. Adhikari. Firstly, she just announced such an important and case sensitive event to pubic without knowing about its contents, and without even informing her husband Rohit, others are out of picture. So, even you rushed here, stopping every work, every important duty. In fact, she herself should not be knowing about the conference. Secondly, she just had to announce about it, with permanent fixing the dates of the conference, the people that should not be here, are also here. Already, directors had sent invitations out for this conference, but only yesterday, because of her, all civilians are in immediate risk, as well as all of the invited people. Every plan just gone down the drain. Thirdly, are you sure, the invited people will be willing to cooperate with us, on such an important project? Fourthly, is the real conference being postponed? Fifthly, how much information does we have about all the people being invited for the real project? Are they trust worthy? Sixthly, you are the one who should care about yourself more, because you have the highest chances of getting attacked.
Eve (sighing)- Are you trying to sum up the situation or make me more confused, than I already am?
Aryan (whispering)- Oh, shit.
Eve (looking at the slightly opened door)- Mr. Rathore, please step inside, and close the door behind you. We need to talk.
Aryan (closing the door and standing in front of Eve)- Yes, we need to talk, but, before that, who are you, actually? And, what is actually going on?
Eve- Mr. Rathore, I am Eve, no questions with that, rather the question should be asked back to you, but no need to answer, because everyone has their own privacy. And Mr. Rathore, we are starting a very important project, according to our information, something big is going to happen soon in 5 years, and we need to prepare everything to stop that. Otherwise, Earth will witness another World War. And, from your today’s behavior, you have proved that, you are trust worthy. Welcome, on board. I only need one help from you in the first part of this project. Rathore Group of industries is already in this, but I want you to create another successful Group, whose control will be in your hands, but, no one will know about it. More than 10 group of companies will be involved in this project, but, 7 group of companies will know about the real thing, in which your 2 companies will also be involved. Because, others will be working on our plan, without knowledge.
Aryan (blinking and slowly taking in all information)- Ms. Eve, I am Aryan Singh Rathore, and I am not only the owner of Rathore Group of industries, I also am owner of another successful Group in Business, so you are not going to face problems with that, rather what is all these things about war? The world is already facing a deadly mutating virus, and natural disasters, but then also some idiots have time for starting war? And, what is the project, that you are mentioning?
Eve- I am very thankful and happy that, you will not be in a turmoil for creating another successful Group of Business. Mr. Rathore, a life lesson for you, patience is the key to success. And, all the other information will be provided to you, when the time comes. But I rather think, currently you should focus on controlling your family situation, you not informing your family and doing a court marriage, and your upcoming wedding rituals, after returning to Delhi.
Aryan (totally shocked)- How do you know about this? No one other than me, my wife and witnesses, know about this.
Eve (with bright eyes)- Mr. Rathore, I advise you to be calm and analyze your own situation. And, I am leaving, see you at the conference.
Aryan (suddenly something striking him from last days memory)- Wait, Ms. Eve, can I see your face?
Eve (with a smile, that can be understood, even though she is wearing a mask)- Mr. Rathore, everything has its own proper time and place, and I would rather say, if you want to know, how I look, try to contact the photo shooting teams that has worked with me till now, because, now is not the right time.
And, saying this she and that unidentified man left.
The events after that, on that day proceeded very smoothly. The conference as well as the press conference. Imlie/Eve and the man wearing a mask following her, did not remove their masks during the public press conference as well. Though there was a short problem, someone attacked Imlie/Eve, during the press conference, but the security was tight and fast to be able to control the situation. Since the things went smoothly, Aryan and his Secretary returned Delhi the same day. Whereas Imlie and her team also left for Delhi before Aryan had left. Also, Aryan before boarding the plane, made sure to call Rathore Mansion and ordered his staffs, to throw away Imlie’s antic attires, and send Arpita to buy suitable cloths for Imlie as well.
First of all I know, you all are curious, why was Imlie called a SSR Commanding Sergeant, but she denies it? But for now, let’s see what is going to happen, after they return to Delhi? How is the Wedding of these two going to happen? What is this project special? What is Aryan and Imlie’s real identity? So many questions, and I am not answering one to everyone. Because I want to make you feel an interesting feeling, feeling of knowing the unknown.
