CHAPTER -4
The same day,
Amar and roli aka Rishi and Keerthi after collecting their New ID cards ,went to the cafeteria to take a small break.
The cafeteria was huge , filled with lots of employees and variety of snacks,foods & drinks.
The aroma of flavours filled the Cafeteria stimulated the appetite of everyone.
Everyone in the cafeteria were silent , occupied into their own work - some were enjoying their coffee while some were doing their project ....
After placing their orders , they both went occupied the table with 2 chairs near the window side. The entire city was seen through the magnificent glass window.The sun was unusually shining so bright and the entire city was glowing due to the its graceful rays. It was a ethereal scenario.
While enjoying the pleasant nature of the city , the aroma of the hot cocoa and the coffee seeds added their own essence to that moment.
Amar (Rishi) after taking a sip of his all time favourite cappuccino , seemed to be lost in the aroma and the taste of his cappuccino...it was ethereal...
He had heard , that this arsenal provides everything best for their employees.., but he didn’t believe it that too after listening to the accident news....but now he doesn’t have any other choice than to accept it ...
It is indeed true ....which company would provide such a vast and beautiful cabin , an amazing menu with various cuisines , a 2 BHK flat with all the essential things for life , a handful of salary , yearly trip, and pension after retirement.
Roll (Keerthi )checked the table and chairs for any micro cam or audio recorder, but after finding none ,began to talk about the case.
Keerthi (Roli ):sir , we have successfully entered the company , but now we have to be very careful. This place is filled with camera, surveillance....
Rishi (Amar ) : yes , these people are very smart. They have been monitoring each and everyone in this company by placing micro cam and audio recorders in their cabins.
Keerthi (Roli ): But why in their cabins sir , unknown to them ??
Rishi (Amar): Maybe to know if their loyal to this country ....or to this company.
Keerthi (Roli);hmm, now we have to collect all the details about the project in which Mr. Siddhant and his team was working in ..
Rishi(Amar) : yes , but it can very risky too , so first instead of directly getting the details about that project, we will collect all the details about Mr. Siddhant and team members and their individual projects.
Because no one will get to work on a big project unless they have done a successful individual small projects or have a very creative & unique ideas to work upon.
Keerthi (Roli ): yes sir , and we have to collects those project files very secretly ..
Rishi (Amar):And very smartly.... because here not only walls have ears but also have eyes.
Keerthi (Roli):yes sir ,And we also have to make sure that no one suspects us ....
Rishi (Amar): yes we have to complete this mission by any means as soon as possible
Keerthi (Roli ):And we have to invest our full energy and mind into this ,to make our mission successful. ..but ....now where should we start ??
Rithik( raising his eyebrows and frowning ): where should you start means ???!!what mission ??!!
Both looked startled due to the sudden entry of Mr. Rithik.
Rishi (Amar ): sir , when did you come ??
Keerthi (Roli): yes sir , when did you come ?? Please take a seat sir.
Rithik (Stern ): Don’t try to distract me , Tell me miss. Keerthi, what were you saying ??
Both got worried , if rithik had listened to their conversation , then ...
Keerthi (Roli ); sir....actually...
Rithik (stern ): what actually???!
Rishi (Amar ): sir actually we were ..
Rithik (stern) : listen Mr. Rishi , I am asking something to miss. Keerthi, not to you ...so she should only answer.
Keerthi (Roli): sir , I was just asking ...
Rithik seeing their tensed and worried faces(sternly): I just asked a simple question.Why are you both worried .,??
Amar and Roli looks at each other.
Rithik : So miss. Keerthi , if you done looking at our faces , can you give me the answer ??
Keerthi (Roli): Sir , I was just asking from where should I start my work ....
Rithik : hmm ....and what were you talking about successful mission and something??!!
Keerthi : actually sir , it’s my dream and mission of my life to work in Arsenal and provide quality weapons and instruments to protect our country and men. So that’s what I was saying that I should work hard on every projects and accomplish my mission to Rishi sir .
Rithik (relaxes): oh ok. It’s actually a good thing to have a mission in life to complete. Because that passion takes you to next level and fulfil your dreams. It’s like a fuel for our Mind and heart to work.
Rishi (Amar): yes sir. Sir ,from where are we supposed to collect the details about our work and projects.
Rithik : about you work ,You both are supposed to report to Mrs. Gauri at 12:30 .
Rithik : Didn’t Raju inform you ??
Rishi (Amar): No sir.
Rithik ( little frustrated ): this Raju ..... Mr. Krish can you call Raju here .... right now. This Raju , he always forgets his job.
Krish : yes sir.
Krish (another employee) leaves to call Raju. And Rithik calms himself.
Rithik ( relax ):Looks like you guys got so much scared when I asked a question.. Am I that scary. ??
Keerthi: No sir.
Rithik: Don’t worry guys , it’s just that I want my things and projects done on time .... BTW where are your ID cards ?? Didn’t you collect it from the office ??
Rishi : Sir , we collected the card .its in our cabin.
Rithik : then Why are you guys not wearing it ?? Don’t you know it’s compulsory to wear it ??
Keerthi: sorry sir , actually after arranging our cabin we got a little tired, so we came to grab a energy drink for ourselves.
We will be careful here after sir.
Rithik ; as today is your first day , I am excusing you ...But next time strict action will be taken.
Meanwhile Raju enters ...
Rithik: Raju why didn’t you inform that they are supposed to meet Mrs. Gauri??
Ramo : Sorry sir , actually I was about to inform them , but in between Mrs. Siddhi asked me to get the copies of her documents. So I went to get the copies. Sorry sir.
Rithik : this time , I will forgive you , next time dont leave your work in between.
Ramo sir : yes sir.
Rithik : ok guys ....I gotta go now ...but don’t forget to meet Mrs. Gauri on time because for her each and every second matters , even if you a minute late then .. sorry I can’t help you ...And also don’t forget your IDs. ....one mistake ...you are fired.
Rithik leaves. While Amar and Roli takes a deep sigh ....it was very narrow escape ....but by god’s grace he didn’t listen their entire conversation.
Rishi : Raju , why is Rithik sir warning us about Mrs. Gauri ?? Is she very strict or what ??
Raju : Arrey sir And mam , she is very punctual and she also expects punctuality from others too ...If Gauri Ma’am gets angry then you are gone ...she will keep a big full stop on your career.....
Amar and Roli looks on
Raju : see, last week like you an employee joined this arsenal branch , he was supposed to submit his project file by 10:30 am , he did .... but the next day he was fired.
Keerthi: why was he fired , I mean he did submit the project on time right ??
Ramo : He did submit on time ... but in the worry and fear of her he submitted a day earlier..
Rishi : But even at the end of the day / topic .... he did submit his file before the deadline right .. then why was he fired. ??
Ramo : see our mam’s theory is different . If a person submit on time , it shows his/her punctuality , discipline and passion.
If a person submit after the deadline, it shows their lack of passion , inability to manage time , and absence of punctuality, and their files can be filled with lot of informations both wanted and unwanted.
If a person submits before the deadline; it shows the persons over enthusiastic behaviour of getting into one’s good book , and his/ her work will always be incomplete or lack of important statements, they only work to get good name .... not to fulfil their dream of making a quality and secure weapons or instruments.
Rishi (stunned): Seriously!!
Keerthi: she seems to have a lot of knowledge about peoples mind.
Rishi : But , I understand that all the employees are scared of her , but why was Rithik sir so worried while talking about her. ....I mean she works under him , ..for him right ?!
Raju : Sir ,it’s a universal truth that every women always takes their anger upon their loved ones - be it parents , siblings , friends or husband.
Keerthi: yes , so .....
Raju : Mam , if Gauri Ma’am is angry then Rithik sir has to face the consequences.
Keerthi: But why Rithik sir ?? Is he her sibling or friend??
Raju : mam if he is her sibling, then he can escape easily. Because everyone knows about their siblings.
Rishi : ya that’s true that our siblings know everything about us.
Keerthi: if he is not her sibling, then ??
Raju : he is her life partner, who is stuck with her .... forever in the beautiful bond of marriage.
Rishi and Keerthi looks on stunned : Husband !!!!
Raju : ya I know he is very pitiful, Gauri Ma’am will take his class in their home at the end of the day. He will be her punching bag at times or just a listener , listening to all her banters.
Rishi : I really feel pity for him . Handling and understanding women is the most difficult thing in this world. How did he fell in the trap of marriage.
Keerthi gives a deadly glare.
Rishi smiled sheepishly: it’s the fact ....
Raju : sir ..all the credits goes to LOVE .. the unconditional love which holds them both together and connects them through their souls. No matter how many conflicts they have , in difficult time they both will always be their for each other. They are an ideal couple in this company. I hope that no evil eyes fall upon them.
Both Amar and Roli after hearing About Rishi and Gauri , they were surprised about their relationship and how they are managing it ....
Raju leaves to complete his work , while Amar and Roli retired to their respective cabins.
In cabin ,
Keerthi (Roli ) sees the time - it was 11:45
(Thinks): there is 45 mins more , what can I do ?? ( she remembers about Siddhant’s diary) I will his diary , I think it’s not less than a book.
She takes out Siddhant’s diary and started reading it.
02/04/2015
Hi mr. diary,sorry I am late today . what to do , I thought that once the results come out I will be free for a while ,but No. now everyone is busy for selecting the options for my internship and job. It looks like they have kept their work on hold and started to advice things for me about career and future. Even this prem in name of advice started to blabber things which he himself couldn’t understand . If I ask something, he is like “ Bro I am giving my part of contribution to your career selection or your future “. Like seriously giving silly advices and irritating me with some useless choices is a contribution to my future.
Moreover when I asked that Prem to clean my room , he is like “ Bro sorry I can’t do that , because my pinky finger is hurt and mom asked me to take rest. So I will do your work once me finger is healed “
Like seriously is it even a excuse!? Everyone in the house is supporting him too.
But ya he has got some brain , because I didn’t even try to trick him to skip the consequences of the lost bet. Now I feel like a stupid to do all his tasks. But now what can I do other than regret , But don’t worry Mr. diary I will surely my revenge all together.
You know mr. diary , my aim and ambition is to work in a well organised arsenal and contribute something towards the protection of our soldiers and our country. And now I feel like i am a step closer to my dream. This feeling is something that cannot be a explained by words. But ..
That time Amar aka Rishi knocks and enters the cabin ,
Rishi (Amar ): Keerthi ....
Keerthi (Roli): Haan , yes sir ...
Rishi (Amar ): where are you lost??
Keerthi (Roli): No where sir . Why ??
Rishi (Amar ): because the time is 12:25 , we have just 5 mins left to meet Mrs. Gauri.
Keerthi looks at her watch : oh .. yes sir , sorry I was too much involved into this diary .
Rishi (Amar): Diary ?!
Keerthi: I will say about it later sir , now we gotta go.
Both of them took their IDs and went to meet Mrs. Gauri on time.
At sharp 12:30
They knocked the door of Mrs. Gauri’s cabin.
Mrs. Gauri (Sharp and loud voice ) : come in.
They both entered.
