Chapter 39
-------------- 16th April - Monday - IFCW Event - DAY 1
From today IFCW (Indian Fashion Couture Week) has started, this event is held after every 2 years and known as the "THE BIG" event in Fashion Industry in India. In this event 20 Fashion Houses from all around India participate. The judge panel not only includes Local Specialist from Fashion World but people from big foreign Fashion Houses were also invited to judge the designs. The design with high votes is selected as the "design of the year". This event also gives participants the opportunity for getting projects or work contract with foreign companies.
Arnav was looking forward to this event from the beginning of this year. Last time he couldn't take part in this event because of Tania's incident and then entry of Arush in his life. But this year Arnav was all ready to mark it with AR Designz success. He wants to show that AR is the best and will still be on NO.1 after this event. Beside this there were 2 other reasons for taking this event very seriously.
One reason was to expose Shyam's dirty work in front of whole Fashion World. Stealing other company's design and displaying it as their own work is consider as the major crime in Fashion industry and if you do that mistake you have to pay heavy amount to that company and also your company will be out of Fashion League for whole 5 years as a punishment. There will be no work, no contract and no project for that company. And Arnav never forgives the one who cheats him.
Second and most important reason is to get a contract from Famous and Biggest fashion House "Von Faniota" which is considers as the father of the Fashion World and very famous all around the world. It started its base from France and extended its head offices in UK, Spain, Italy, Germany and Switzerland. Arnav had been trying to contact their HR team from last 3 months, he had talked to many people, did many teleconferences with its London Office. After trying for 3 months he finally was able to make them agree to come and attend IFCW event as a guest of AR Designz. In that way they can see their design and work pattern. Also they can visit his office or factory as well.
Von Faniota was also looking for some Asian touch in their next Fashion Show and they were also searching for good Company and when AR contacted them they see it as a opportunity to explore their Fashion line further.
The commotion inside AR Mumbai office was a sight to be seen today, everyone including designers, management department and event department were running here and there for completing last minute detail. As usual Arnav Singh Raizada was barking order on everyone; he does not want a tiniest mistake to be made. Khushi was sitting on a chair after doing her part of running and thinking while watching people running that she had given Arnav a right name "Laad Governer". Everything is done but still Arnav is keeping everyone at their toes. Khushi shakes her head and event towards caf to have coffee to relax herself.

And there were murmurs going on in the hall. Those who didn't pay much attention to bridal line were cursing themselves ... and some were panicking as to which dress they should select as their show stopper but one man was Calm among all... Arnav Singh Raizada ... he did everything with perfection and he had already thought which design he should represent as the show stopper and why not he had chosen a very famous person to show cast it which is going to be the shocking surprise for everyone here. He stands up from his seat and went to back stage.
"So please we request the owners of the fashion houses to present their today's Bridal line ... the first will be AR Designz ...", the Host said and went back stage.
"Good evening ladies and gentle men ... Our bridal line is simple and traditional yet different in its work", people heard the husky deep voice of Arnav ... Ladies were dying to see Arnav on stage ... still hearing his husky voice was making goose bumps appear on their skins. Khushi also stand up to look if Arnav was on ramp but no he was not. She sit back making a face ... she wanted to see him ... she hardly saw him these days. He was so busy with work and event.
As the 2 model enters the ramp Arnav begun to speak, "the first design clouds with silver lining adorning light pastel color with tint of red mixed as real zari weaves twinkles. The second design is the reverse of first red with golden zari work but the feel of color is as soft as a blushing bride", said Arnav.
The two models did 2 rounds of ramp and went back. Then one by one 5 male models enter the ramp. Arnav begun to speak,"this time our bridal line not only includes ladies but also for men we have designed traditional kurta 3 of them have unique and stylish zari work while other two are with simple embroidery work yet giving them a stylish look".
The 5 model did 2 rounds of ramp and went back.

The dupatta is of red color with gold rich zari work ... The second one is light blue with silver embellishment adding the floral fantasy embroidery.. the delicate net dupatta will be perfect complement for the brides as it will like having a sky above your head with stars", said Arnav and everyone applause and awed at his style of explaining his designs.
The 2 model did 2 rounds of ramp and went back. "now for the last dress ... a show stopper .. is a special one", said Arnav "and it will be in special style". With that many small girls enters the ramp wearing bright colors and had one dia in their hand walk on ramp(the audience awed and clapped at this and was eager to see what comes next).
After them a model enters the ramp wearing rich red blood lehnga with heavy gold zari work on it. The model has covered her face with the dupatta holding with two hands walking slowly on the ramp. It was feeling like a real bride was coming on the ramp. The small girls turn and went back and the model stood in the middle of the ramp still covering her face.
"Red ... the color of bride ... Gold ... the color of richness combining together giving a beautiful look to a bride making her special for the occasion", said Arnav and with that the model put her duptta back and reveal her face. Loud gasp were heard from the audience.
It was non other famous actress Karishma Kapoor. She walk the ramp with utter grace and held the lehnga beautifully ... its gold work was shinning in the lights. People were awestruck at the sight in front of them. The actress came in extreme front and widened her arms showing the full lehnga and dupatta. She turns on both sides, pose for the cameras and slowly walk back.
Arnav came on the ramp, the actress went to Arnav and kiss him on cheek ... there were ooohh and aaahhs in the hall but one person was huffing in annoyance and that was none other than Khushi. She was excited to see the actress who had come with her favourite actor Salman Khan many times but when the actress kiss Arnav on cheek she felt green monster in her. "Why those model have to kiss Arnavji?", thought Khushi getting irritated.
"Khushi kia hua?" Pehle to itni Khush thi Karishma ko daikh ker abh muhn kion utar gaya tumhara?" (what happened Khushi? At first you were so happy seeing Karishma Kapoor .. now why your face has fallen?), asked Payal who saw the change in her sister's expression.
"kuch nahi jiji ... yeh actresses bhi na .. pata nahi apnea p ko kia samajhti hain?" (nothing jiji .. these actresses ... dont know what they think of themselves), said Khushi annoyed.
"hain ... kia bol rahi ho tum ... tumhain toh karishma pasand thi naa (what? ... what are you saying? ... but you liked Karishma?)", said Payal getting surprise.
"Pasand thi ... abh nahi hai ( i liked ...but not now)", said Khushi in stern tone.
"Pagal hai tuh (you are crazy)", said Payal shaking her head.
Then Arnav walk the ramp with the actress and pose for the cameras ... after standing for few seconds they went back. Arnav thanked the actress who in return praise his design as she had really like the lehnga and immediately place her order for the same. Arnav with a smile agrees and show her off to the guest room with respect.
People were still in state of surprise. The show went on with others fashion houses showing their designs but their enthusiasm had gone down seeing the beautiful actress presenting a master piece for AR.
Arnav went back to the area behind the stage; Aman came to him and whispers something in his ear. He smirked ... everything was set ... now he had to wait for Shyam's turn only. Like other days Arnav didn't budge about numbering of his company which was done randomly by IFCW managerial committee but for today he had purposely set his number on first and Shyam's number on last.
Soon one by one other fashion houses present their bridal line but none has the charm which AR had in its bridal line. Now the last one JFH was presenting its line with Shyam speaking behind trying to be impressive like Arnav but failing at it. Arnav gesture Aman that its time now, Aman gave him a small microphone which he adjust in his ear.
Aman went to the host and say something to him, he looked back at Aman with surprise but none the less take him to the room where 2 people were controlling the big screen which was on the right side of the ramp which was showing the footage from different cameras in the hall. Aman gives his usb to one of them and tell him to wait for his signal to play the videos.
When Arnav saw Shyam enter the ramp he went to the entrance ... stood there and watch Shyam walking with his model on the ramp. Just when Shyam stood infront of camera for a pose Arnav enters the ramp. People's eyes drifted to Arnav and they start asking one another whats Mr. Raizada is doing on the ramp.
"tuch tuch ... Mr. Jha ... its very sad to display other's design as yours", said Arnav while moving towards Shyam. Shyam was shock, surprise and tense at the same time to see Arnav on the ramp. People in the hall were surprise to see him there and loud murmur started on what Arnav had said.
Anjali and Mamaji were also surprise at this, Akash who had some idea what Arnav was doing was a little bit tensed.
"Akash ... yeh Chottey kia ker rahe hain? (Akash ... what chottey is doing this?)", asked Anjali. "relax Di ... bhai knows what he is doing?", said Akash tapping Anjali's arm.
Khushi and other members of the design team were also surprise to hear what Arnav had said and was waiting what will happen next.
"um ... Mr. Raizada ... I don't know what you are saying?", said Shyam composing himself.
"You very well know what I am saying Mr. Jha", said Arnav who now stood in front of Shyam and his model. "This design which you are displaying (Arnav point toward his model) is in fact copied from AR's", said Arnav in a stern tone.
Loud gasp erupted in the hall, people and judges were astonished to hear such an accusation. The reporters stood from their seat and went near the ramp, the host who saw this tell the spot boy to call the security. Shyam heart thudded badly thinking how this is possible?
Shyam did a poor job of chuckling, "Well Mr. Raizada it's a nice joke ... event is ending but you didn't did a good job picking a topic for joke", said Shyam and turn to audience. "Well guys ... I guess Mr. Raizada is in the mood of fun ... so I let him have the stage". Saying that Shyam turn to go, he only took two steps when the hall echoed with Arnav's booming voice.
"Arnav Singh Raizada ... never jokes", said Arnav in loud authoritive tone ... "And he never forgives the one who cheats with him ... Mr. Jha".
"The designs you show for you bridal line is actually copied from AR's bridal line ... (pause and Arnav face the judges) not only that ... 3 of the designs Mr. Jha display in his traditional line also belongs to AR", said Arnav in a mocking tone.
People begun to speak among themselves, hall was filled with loud murmurs. Judges were also looking at each other with surprise and shocked. The reports started to ask their question but security came and held them back from the ramp. This had never happened in IFCW before, and this is a very serious thing to happen.
"Mr. Jha ... what is Mr. Raizada saying? Is this true?", One of the judge stand and speak loudly.
Shyam was scared but he masked it and said, "No Sir ... I don't know why Mr. Raizada is saying this ... he might have some misunderstanding ... Or he ..." ... But Arnav cut him, "I don't have any misunderstanding Mr. Jha ... I have proof of your cheating. Not only once but twice you stole the designs from my company", roared Arnav angrily taking a step toward him. Arnav was feeling so angry that he only wanted to strangle Shyam right now but he knows it is not the right time to do this.
Shyam take a step back hearing Arnav menacing voice, his heart was thudding badly and sweat beginning to form on his temples.
Anjali stood up to go to Arnav but Akash stop her.
"Akash .. Chottey ..", said Anjali but Akash assure her. "Di .. please relax I told you na Bhai knows what he is doing".
"Haan bitya fiqar na karo .. Arnav bitwa sambhal lein gey (yes bitya dont worry ... Arnav bitwa will take care of it)", said Mamaji.
Anjali nods her head but she didn't sit down. Not only her, many people stood up to see the happening on the ramp.
"What proof Mr. Raizada? We want to see.", said another judge while he stand up.
"All models of JHF ... come out here", said Arnav while he move to the side. After a minute one by one all models came out.
"Stand in a line", said Arnav ... as the ramp was in T shape. Arnav make the models stood in line facing the judges. "Now Aman ... will you please play the footage of AR fashion show", said Arnav looking at Shyam in the eye. Shyam gulped in fear as to whats coming next.
The screen on the right side flickered and a video play on it showing models wearing Bridal Sarees walking on ramp.
"Pause Aman", said Arnav and Aman press the pause button on the design he also knew was copied.
"Now respected Jury and people if you look here this design (he pointed to screen) and ... (Arnav walk to one model and point her dress) this design is same in every way ... expect for the color. AR's was blue and this is green", said Arnav while looking towards the judges.
All Judges stand up and move on the ramp to clearly inspect the design. And yes Arnav was right the design the pattern of embroidery was the same. The only 2 difference was of color and AR designs were of Saree and JHF had them display as lehngas.
"Aman play gain", said Arnav and he showed all 10 designs that were of the same designs and patterns as of AR's but just with different colors.
"Mr. Jha ... what the hell is this? How can you copy someone else designs?", said one of the judges in angry tone looking towards Shyam.
"Sir ... I didn't copy them ... there might be some mistake ... The designs might got change ... someone did this against me", Shyam blabber in fear. Arnav smirked at his fearful voice, Shyam notice his smile and point a finger at him.
"He did it ... he must have change my designs with his ... so that he can play his dirty trick and make me bad in front of everyone", said Shyam in hurry.
"What the hell ..", shout Arnav ... "I don't need to do such cheap things like you... do you really think I have the time for all this nonsense" said Arnav with gritted teeth.
"yes ... I know you hate me ... and to win you can do anything ... what will you gain from ruining me haan Mr. Raizada", said Shyam much more calmed now. "Believe me Sir ... its all his scheme to ruin me ... he is behind all this", said Shyam looking towards the judges.
"Just shut up ..", roared Arnav. "Arnav Singh Raizada never cheats ... I always play fair Mr. Jha ... that's why I am successful today ... unlike you", said Arnav with menacing tone.
It was the first time Khushi was seeing Arnav in this Avatar. Now she understood very well that why he is called a ruthless business man. He could have taken this matter before this event if he knew all along about Shyam's cheating but he waited ... and now he is exposing him in front of whole fashion World and this will Destroy JHF. Somewhere it scared Khushi, but she knew this is what had made him ASR ... his ruthlessness. Her heart thudded for the man who was standing tall with courage among so many people.
"Aman ... (Arnav shouted) play the next video", said Arnav looking in Shyam's eye. Shyam got scared as what Arnav meant. What else he got?
The screen got black and then a new video played showing a scene of a caf where Shyam was sitting on a sofa sipping coffee while Sameer sit opposite him. Shyam gulped hard thinking how Arnav got this, and as the video play fear started to grip him that now he is doomed.
"Mr. Sameer why you wanted to meet? I have already paid you for your job", said Shyam while taking a sip from his coffee.
"you told me I f I have some new news then I should give it to you", said Sameer nervously.
"Then you could have told me on the phone", said Shyam raising his eyebrow. "well leave it tell me now".
"ASR is doing a contract with a very big company ... that company will be coming at IFCW ... I heard that this deal will make billions", said Sameer. And Shyam straighten up hearing this.
"And whats the company name?", asked Shyam."I don't know .. they are keeping it secret", said Sameer.
"then find out and let me know", shyam said cooly. "I cant", said Sameer. "Why not?", said Shyam little bit surprised at his denial.
"I am done working for you ... I am leaving this country", said Sameer. "that's why I want to meet you in person to say my last regards", said Sameer trying to be calm and respective. Shyam was startled hearing that.
"why? Whats the problem?", asked Shyam.
"ASR .. I think he knows that I steal the designs for you ... he wont spare me ... that's why I wanted to go away before he come to my door", said Sameer now visibly scared.
"Did he say something to you?", asked Shyam and Sameer shake his head. "then why are you worried ... don't worry he would never get to know", said Shyam.
"No ... this time he will defiantly do something ... I have seen him staring at me ... I am scared ... I cannot take the risk ... I am leaving ... just want to warn you ... you should be careful too", said Sameer and get up.
"whoa .. relax man ... sit down ... ASR would never know .. I am telling you na", said Shyam who don't want to lose his only spy inside the AR ... as its difficult to bribe some one there ... he got lucky some how that he got Sameer.
"No ... Mr.Jha he will get to you too .. you should also leave the country", said Sameer sitting down. "what? No ... look ... I am telling you nothing will happen", said Shyam trying to make Sameer understand.
"No ..i know ... I will get caught and you too ... how can you say nothing will happen .. you don't know ASR", said Sameer in worried voice.
"I know him better than you ... and listen nothing is going to happen ... you steal the design before and I use them in my spring collection ... right ... did he do anything then .. no naa .. because he did not know anything", said Shyam and lean back in chair.
(loud gasp could be heared from the audience ... the AR team was surprise and people from other fahion house were chocked that how shyam got the courage to steal from Arnav Singh Raizada ... Judges were looking at video and at Shyam at the same time ... angry and shocked ... reporters and other media people were recording this video)
"But this time he will know ...", said Sameer.
"No .. only two people know that you steal the designs from AR ... you and me ... and we both don't say anything so he wont get to know", said Shyam getting relaxed.
"why are you so against him", asked Sameer.
"because he thinks that no one can beat him .. he have this ego that I want to crush ...I will use his designs in IFCW right infront of his eyes and he won't be able to do a thing ... I want to see the desperation in his eyes", said Shyam with hatred.
"But I wont steal again from ASR ... I don't have the courage now", said Sameer with some fear.
"Oh chill you are getting worried for nothing ... just chill and enjoy with the money I gave you", said Shyam.
Then the screen become black again.
When the video finished Shyam face had become white. Now he cant play game of words, everyone had heard and see clearly that he had use AR designs not once but twice. The reporter had capture the whole video in their cell phone, some took photos, some recorded the whole scene as this is going to be the breaking news of tomorrow. They all wait for what comes next.
"Now Mr. Jha ... what will you say? Who is playing the game and who is cheating?", said Arnav while smirking towards Shyam. But Shyam was mute ... he could not say anything.
"Mr. Raizada and Mr. Jha please come with us", said one of the judges and move to the back stage. The reports saw this and move towards the back stage, security went to stop them, the reporters started to ask questions but they all went towards the exit. One of the judges came to host and spoke with him for 2 minutes and then moves ahead. The host move towards the ramp to give the ending speech of IFCW.
"Akash chalo ... Chottey ja rahey hain (Akash come one ... Chottey is going)", said Anjali and move in the direction where Arnav went.
"Di ... relax .. its just all business and you these things happen", said Akash stopping Anjali.
"but Chottey..", Anjali try to say but her Mamaji cut in.
"Arnav bitwa bache nahi hain Anjali bitya ... wo bhut samajhdar hain ... parechan na ho wo sambhal lein gey ... hum ko chalna chahiye abh ... hum bahar intezar ker lein gey unka (Arnav Bitwa is not a child Anjali bitya ... he is very intelligent ... dont get worried he will take care of this ... we should go now ... we will wait outside for him)", said Mamaji and Akash agreed with him.
They move towards the area behind the ramp. Aman went to the Von Faniota People, as he knew they will be worried to see such thing. Aman explain them everything and they understand that this things do happen. Aman assures them about safety while working with AR and after discussing among themselves they agree the meeting.
The AR design team was also shocked with happenings, they didn't have the slightest idea that Sameer had done this before. They all started move out; Lavanya came to them and explain the situation. And tell them to go and rest. Khushi was worried for Arnav, she want to go to him but she knew he would be busy or most probably surrounded by media. She just sends a silent prayer to her Devi Maiyya to protect Arnav and she went away with her sister.
All 12 judges went to the room which was allocated to them, once all seated one of the judges speak
"Mr. Jha ... you did know that stealing someone's designs and presenting them as yours is a crime", said one of the judges.
"And I guess you also know the plenty for that", said another judge. Shyam could only nod his head.
"Then Mr. Jha ... you have to pay Mr. Raizada the amount he quotes", said one of the judges who was also the head of managerial committee of IFCW looking at Shyam and then he look at Arnav. "Mr. Raizada?"
"50 Million Dollars", said Arnav coolly but Shyam eyes got widened hearing the amount, how will he pay so much to him?
"So Mr. Jha you will pay Mr. Raizada 50 Million Dollars in 10 day time and your company is here by now disqualified from every other fashion show in future ... also dismiss for any future work for 5 years. You cannot launch or display any of your work or design.", said the judge with finality.
"you will also gets the court notice for that tomorrow", said another judge.
"It's a very shameful thing you have done Mr. Jha ... you have been in the industry for 5 years ... I thought you to be the good business man but we did not know you will turn out like this ... you should be grateful that Mr. Raizada didn't charge you with data theft or else you will be looking forward for prison time", said another judge with disgust tone.
Shyam was burning inside ... he just could not stand the smirking face of Arnav but he could not do anything. He had lost now. But he had thought then and there that he won't spare Arnav. He will strike back whenever he get the chance. He stood and went out of the room.
Arnav shakes his hand with the judges. "Mr. Raizada when you knew all this why didn't you come to us in the beginning?", asked one of the judges.
"I know I could do that but I wanted to expose him in front of the whole world. I had been burning inside since I knew he steal for me ... and I always punish my culprit in my way", said Arnav in no nonsense tone and bid them good bye. The judges were impressed and they agree among themselves that he is rightly addressed as the Business Tycoon.
Arnav came out of room started walking towards the exit while typing a message to Aman. Shyam was waiting for him to come out and when he saw Arnav he went after him.
"You bas***d ...", shouted shyam and Arnav turn around, Shyam held his collar. "I wont spare you", said Shyam with gritted teeth.
"Get off me you asshole", said Arnav in menac tone and push Shyam very hard that he stagger back.
"Never try to do that again ... this time I am letting you ... but next time you will be bleeding", said Arnav taking step toward Shyam.
"What you think yourself haan? let me tell you Arnav Singh Raizada ... I will get you back for what you did to me", said Shyam pointing a finger towards Arnav his face clearly showing the hatred.
"I don't think dumbass ... I act", said Arnav. "you should be glad that I didn't go to police and charge you and that bas***d Sameer with data theft. I could have easily done that you two would be spending 8 years of your life in prison but whats the fun in that ... no no no ... Arnav Singh Raizada never give easy punishment. You two will suffer in world, with your jobs, with your life. No will work with you two, as whereever you go people will remember what you did ... lets see how will you face their taunts ... that's what I want ... now you will get the taste of your sins.", said Arnav and move close to Shyam.
"Right now .. you just have to think how you are going to pay me 50 million dollars Shyam Manohar Jha", said Arnav in low dangerous tone and turn to go.
Shyam face twitched in anger but he could do nothing now but he swears that he will get back to Arnav.
