PART-26
[A]
GUNJAN was scared of speed maybe something to do with her parent's death... but high speed scared the living daylights out of her. She shut her eyes tightly... as if that would ensure the speed of the car reduced...clutching her kurti's edge that rested on her knees... she was mumbling... some MANTRA... eyes shut , she kept mumbling.
SAMRAT looked at her as he heard mumbles... and he was mesmarised by her... she looked so Innocent... so Cute. But,she also looked so Scared... what was there to be scared of??? He hit the brakes bringing the Car to a screeching halt... and in a harsh tone he said...
S - What's your Problem...? Yeh tum kya padh rahi ho...? Aur,tumne apni aankhein kyun bandh ki hui hain...? Kya tumhein neend aa rahi hai...?
G - (fumbling as she spoke) No...No...main so nahin rahi...woh,mujhe zyada speed se darr lagta hai..iss liye aankhein bandh kar li thin. (said in very soft and innocent tone)
S - Aur,tum kuchh padh bhi rahi thi...woh kya tha...?
G - 'HANUMAAN CHALISA' usse,padhne se darr kam ho jaata hai.. (said innocently)
SAMRAT was surprised when he heard the reply... as innocent and simple as herself... he could not resist a smile...softening his tone, he said... "Ok...Don't worry,Main ab zyada speed mein drive nahin karoonga,Just Relax.
G - (with smiling face) Thanks...
The rest of the journey was in complete silence... no one saying anything. But unknown to her, SAMRAT was stealing glances at her...as he stopped at the Red traffic light, he thought why was he enjoying the drive?? Never before had he felt so nice...he hated driving in this city... but, today he was enjoying this drive...was It because,... no... but then why?? The car behind him honked... the traffic light had turned Green and he had to move. GUNJAN was busy looking outside...she was in a world of her own. Her face however had that smile on her face...
Winding through the sea of pedestrians that were out at MARINE DRIVE... they finally reached THE AMBASSADOR. Giving the keys to the valet, SAMRAT and GUNJAN entered the hotel. GUNJAN was a bit anxious as this was the first time she was going to attend an official meeting with her boss, SAMRAT SHERGILL at THE AMBASSADOR. She remembered her first encounter with SAMRAT... at THE PARADISE ... and she smiled as she recollected all the misunderstandings that day... but,then she was with RAHUL, with whom she was comfortable... here she was as good as on her own. She just quietly followed SAMRAT in...
As they reached the Reception area... SAMRAT suddenly stopped. Luckily GUNJAN could stop herself before she banged into SAMRAT... or else ... Phew..but, what had stopped SAMRAT, she wondered. SAMRAT realised something was missing...
S - PROJECT FILE...? where is Project File (asked in strict tone) Tumne usse Car se liya yaa nahin...?
GUNJAN gingerly nodded in a negative... she knew what was coming...but, she had to reply... so in her soft tone, she said... "Nahin,main bhool gayi...mujhe yaad hi nahin raha... par,main abhi le ati hoon... Please,mujhe sirf bata dijiye...ki,'Parking Area' kaun si side par hai...?
S - WHAT ? Oh God ! Tumhein yahaan ka Parking Area bhi nahin pata...?? Yahaan, pahle kabhi nahin aayi kya..? Oh ! I know,tum pehle yahaan kaise aa sakti ho...? Yahaan ke charges toh tum log afford bhi nahin kar sakoge. (He spoke in a very demeaning way... his expression indicating that he felt superior to her social standing...)
Though GUNJAN was hurt when she heard SAMRAT speak thus... she knew him only to well to answer back.The whole day had been horrible..his temper flaring at the slightest provocation... best was to ignore such snide remarks. Giving a fake smile, she said... "Its ok...Aap chaliye...Main file le kar aati hoon..." and was about to turn...
S - Par,tumne toh kaha,tumhein yahaan ka 'Parking Area' nahin pata.
G - Haan...par others ko toh pata hoga... main kisi se pooch loongi... She turned as she completed the sentence and was about to walk away when SAMRAT's harsh and cold voice stopped her...
S - Wait...Tum yahin raho...Main le aata hoon. Itna time nahin hai ki,main yahaan khada reh kar tumhaare 'Parking Area' ko dhoondhne ka wait karoon... Hum all ready late ho rahe hain... and he quickly strode away from there...
As she was looking at him walk away, all his harsh words through the day came back to her... she could not fathom the reason for such brash behavior... had she erred??? (( Aaj maine kuchh toh aisa kiya hai,jiski wajah se SAMRAT Sir mujh se itne naraaz hain...subah se 1 baar bhi achhi tarah baat nahin ki.Par,maine aisa kya kiya hai...? Aaj phir unhone mujhe yeh ehsaas dilaya ki,main unn ki barabari ki nahin hoon...par,maine kabhi khud ko unse compare kiya bhi nahin... Main aisa kyun karoongi...? Main yahaan kyun aaoongi ? jab ki mujhe pata hai ki,yahaan ke 1 day ke charges meri salary se bhi zyada hain... Phir,woh yeh sab kyun kehte hain...? Kya sirf Mujhe meri position batane ke liye...? (She felt hurt...) RAHUL is right...yeh jagah mere liye hai hi nahin... Main kal hi saari formality complete kar loongi...taaki baad mein koi problem na ho...aur phir,RAHUL ke aate hi main yahaan se chali jaoongi...)) She had made up her mind. There was no point staying here if her Boss was not happy with her work. Unnecessary stress for everyone... bas... just hope this meeting with the RAHEJA's goes well... then maybe she would be spared. She sighed as she waited for SAMRAT to return..looking around.

Meanwhile SAMRAT
Angrily SAMRAT walked up to his car. The valet was just leaving when, he was stopped by SAMRAT. Taking the keys from the valet, SAMRAT unlocked his car and picked up some files lying on the back seat of the car. Slamming the car door shut, SAMRAT flung the keys at the valet, who caught it deftly. Glaring at him, SAMRAT turned around to leave when his cell buzzed. Irritated at the disturbance, he saw who was calling...it was SHARMA JI... he received the call...
S - Kahiye,Mr.SHARMA what's the problem...?
Mr.S - Sir...wo..woh aaj AGRICULTURAL Deptt. ke telecom Service ke TENDER ka result aa gaya hai...(said in little low tone)
S - Toh...? What's the problem...? Sirf,Yeh batane ke liye call kiya...? Iss mein naya kya hai? I know,last 3 yrs. ki tarah iss baar bhi hamein hi mila hoga.Aap yun hi mera time waste kar rahe hain. (said in harsh tone)
Mr. S - Sir...but,iss baar...Actually,this time V lost It.Yeh Tender iss baar "RAINBOW COMMUNICATION" ko mil gaya hai...
S - What...? But,How...? How is it possible...? (asked angrily) Iss Project ko kaun handle kar raha tha??
Mr.S - Sir,Woh...1 Fresher hai...Abhi kuchh dinon pahle hi uss se join kiya hai... He was MBA topper..toh...
S - (Yelled in high tone) What the Hell...? Woh topper hua toh kya hua...? Aaj uski wajah se SHERGILL INDUSTRY ka naam Top se neeche aa gaya hai... Aapko pata nahin ki,SHERGILL's mein Fresher ki appointment nahin hoti... phir,usse kisne Appoint kar liya ?? Aap abhi issi waqt uss Fresher aur usse appoint karne waale person ko terminate kijiye... Mujhe kal subah tak unke termision ki saari formality complete chahiye. Aur haan...Hamare Office mein jis kisi ke paas bhi 2yrs. se kam ka working experience ho unn sabhi ko 1 month ki advance salary dekar,Kal hi unki job se terminate kijiye...
He cut the call angrily. These Fresher's... they do not want to learn... all because, of this fresher... he had to bear such a huge loss... ((I hate losers.SAMRAT ko harna nahin aata... sirf,1 galti aur yeh CONTRACT, SHERGILL's ke hathoon se nikal gaya...But..wait... (smiled evily) Yeh CONTRACT ab RAINBOW COMMUNICATION ke paas hai...Aur,RAINBOW COMMUNICATION toh khud mere paas aane wala hai...RICHA ke saath...sirf kuchh dinon ki toh baat hai...RICHA aur RC donon ke saath SHERGILL ka naam jud jaayega...not bad, actually... Fantastic..)) ..SAMRAT relaxed a great deal after this thought crossed his mind. This Business deal was going in his favor anyway. There was no need to get angry...
Meanwhile GUNJAN
GUNJAN kept looking at her wrist watch and at the direction SAMRAT had left... she was worried... It had been quite long since He had left... She was wondering what was delaying him... (( Itni der ho gayi aur ab tak SAMRAT Sir nahin aaye...Kahaan reh gaye woh..? Woh toh itne Punctual hain...kabhi der nahin karte...Shayad, 'Parking Area' kaafi door hoga. Yahaan iss tarah,akele unka wait karna...kitna ajeeb lag raha hai... Sab meri hi galti hai... agar maine Files le li hoti toh,unhen jaana toh nahin padta.Pata nahin,Kya baat hui hogi...Ab tak toh unhein aa jaana chahiye tha...)) She would have continued with the self blame thoughts had the ring of her cell not interrupted her. She saw the name flashing..MONISH... a slight smile flickered on her lips... she received the call...
G - Hello..
M - Hi...Where R U...? Ghar pahunch gayi kya? (asked in hurry way)
G - Nahin..woh ..main...abhi...
M - (cuts) Ok,fine.Mujhe bhi thodi der ho jaayegi...Office mein kuchh important kaam aa gaya hai...thodi der mein direct ghar hi aata hoon...Meri coffe ready rehni chahiye ..ok... (said happily with little possesive tone)
G - Par...MONISH...suniye toh...Main abhi... And she stopped speaking...as If she had lost her voice. Standing in front of her was SAMRAT... his face showing the level of his anger... his eyes blazing Red.
She was petrified... she had seen him angry before, but this was way beyond her comprehension... she was trying to say something, but that would not help anyway. SAMRAT had snatched the cell from her hand ... glaring at her, he slowly moved his gaze to the cell..and the name that was on the cell angered him even more. He disconnected the call and angrily flung her cell on the floor. Her precious cell... It disintegrated...
GUNJAN kept looking at the cell on the floor and then at SAMRAT... why?? He flung her cell and destroyed it !!!! Why was he so angry?? Only because, she forgot the file?? SAMRAT's harsh looks scared her even more. But, she still managed to ask..in a soft and scared tone, she stammered...
G - Ye...Yeh aapna kya kiya...? Mera Mobile...? Par,kyun...? Mere saare Contact number ussi mein the...Aapne aisa kyun kiya...? (Tears fell on her cheeks as she spoke these words.)
SAMRAT held her delicate wrist and pulled her closer... She staggered towards him. SAMRAT's grip on her wrist was tight... he barked angrily... "Yeh mujhe kaafi pehle kar dena chahiye tha...U crossed your all limits. Tumhein maine aaj Office mein bhi kaha tha...concentrate to your work...But,I think tumhein simple baat samajh nahin aati. Mat bhulo ki,iss waqt tum mere saath ho...aur hum yahaan 1 important meeting attand karne aaye hain... Kisi Dinner yaa Party mein nahin aaye jo tum yun kisi se bhi chit-chat karti rahogi."
His grip was tightening on her wrist. She was in pain... her eyes were filled with tears...but, was it because she was physically in pain or because, her heart was hurting??? She had no answer to this question. She shut her eyes as the pain became unbearable for her... and in voice filled with hurt, she muttered... "Please...! My wrist is hurting..."
SAMRAT let go of her hand. GUNJAN was rubbing her wrist. SAMRAT's fingers had left a mark on her wrist... her fair skin making the Red marks all the more prominent... the pain still there. Her wrist was sore... drops of tears fell on her hand as she continued massaging her wrist.
S - (said in harsh tone) Ab yahan khade rehne ka hi iraada hai yaa,chal kar Presentation bhi deni hai... She jumped out of her skin when, SAMRAT spoke... wiping her tears, she nodded in a positive.
SAMRAT shook his head as he started walking... she mutely followed, wiping her tears as they left her eyes.They entered the Restaurant... the Restaurant looked majestic... with Gothic style mirrors and a huge chandelier adorning the room. Mr.GAUTAM MEHTA the new C.E.O. of the RAHEJA's was to represent the RAHEJA's at the meeting. He was a 30 something year old person...with a roving eye which caught GUNJAN as she slowly walked towards him, behind SAMRAT. SAMRAT reached the table where GAUTAM was waiting and forwarded his hand...a professional hand shake later, GAUTAM forwarded his hand to GUNJAN. She slowly shook hand with GAUTAM... but, the touch was repulsive... as GAUTAM held her hand... his grip tightened... his thumb caressing her hand. His smile had a tinge of evil in it... GUNJAN almost yanked her hand out of his hand.
S - Well,Mr.MEHTA aapko thodi der wait karna pada..woh,actually...
Mr.M - Koi baat nahin Mr.SHERGILL...Its Ok...Aapka aana hi mere liye kisi (looked at GUNJAN) 'Treat' se kam nahin hai.
SAMRAT & GAUTAM took their seats. GUNJAN did not know what to do. She simply stood behind SAMRAT's chair. He looked at her and with his eyes, signaled her to sit next to him. She quietly pulled the chair out and sat beside him...
S - Oh,Thanks ! By the way,Aapne kuchh order kiya...?
Mr.M - Nahin...ab aap aa gaye hain toh... 'Order' bhi de doonga.. (again looked at GUNJAN) waise,aapne inka introduction nahin karaya...
As GAUTAM referred to GUNJAN ,SAMRAT realised his temper was rising again...but, he tried to keep calm and answered in a normal tone... "She is my P.A.,Miss GUNJAN BHUSHAN...Yeh Report Miss BHUSHAN ne hi banai hai...toh..."
Mr.M - (cuts) Toh achhi hi hogi...No actually,kaafi achhi hogi... (still looked at her) Kyunki,Yeh khud hi itni achhi hain... I mean,She is looking so 'talented' (n smiled evily).
GUNJAN felt awkward ... She had never faced this kind of a situation before.. GAUTAM was not leaving anything to imagination as He was openly speaking about his intentions. GUNJAN was feeling uncomfortable with every word uttered by Mr.MEHTA... SAMRAT realised GUNJAN 's discomfort. He looked at her... She was looking downwards... too scared to even look up at Mr.MEHTA . SAMRAT was getting angrier...the last line of GAUTAM ensured his anger peaked... He looked at GUNJAN. She was still looking downwards... she was uncomfortable and SAMRAT could sense that. Keeping his as calm as he could, He said...
S - Mr.Mehta...I think,hamein meeting start kar deni chahiye...Hamare paas zyada waqt nahin hai... hamein kahin aur bhi jaana hai...Hamari Kuchh prior commitments bhi hain...
Keeping her gaze downwards, GUNJAN widened her eyes in surprise... other commitments??? She had no clue... with questions in her eyes, she looked at SAMRAT... ((Hamein aur kahaan jaana hai...?? Yeh Kis prior commitment ki baat kar rahe hain...?? Mujhe toh sirf yeh meeting attand karne ko hi kaha tha...No way...Mujhe ab direct ghar jaana hai...aur kahin nahin...)) Her thought was also innocent...just like her.
Mr.M - Ok...Phir start karte hain...Ab toh yeh meetings aage bhi chalti rahengi...Aakhir,hum donon hain toh 1 hi field mein...1 dusre se milna toh hota hi rahega...toh,hamein 1 dusron ki 'Zarooratoon' (smiled evily) ka khyaal bhi toh rakhna zaroori hai...
S - (smiled fakely) Oh sure..kyun nahin...?
SAMRAT started checking the files... He flipped the files... what the... ?? He checked again and again...but,that REPORT FILE was missing... He looked at GUNJAN angrily... She was looking at him frantically searching for something... She did not know what...What was he searching for??? Just then Mr.MEHTA said in a sarcastic tone...
Mr.M - Kya hua Mr.SHERGILL...Aap koi REPORT present karne waale the...where is it?
SAMRAT looked at him with anger... but, without replying to his question... he turned to look at GUNJAN... and in a stern tone said... "Miss BHUSHAN aap zara mere saath aaiye..." n he stood up...GUNJAN too...
Changing his tone to narmal, SAMRAT said to Mr.MEHTA... "Mr.MEHTA,Please...Aap kuchh order karein...Hum bas abhi aaye..."
And He got up to leave the Restaurant... GUNJAN was scared...She had done something wrong again...?? She simply followed him out. What was going to happen, she had no idea... but, something bad...that was for sure...and
what happened, was the least she expected...
