Atty wants "openness and honesty and sharing" and he does live by that. But in this case he did hide. Granted he had a reason to hide, knowing her equation with the mother.

Nothing Atty has done so far has inpired confidence about Atty for Mru. She is still skittish that he will run off with Dhru. So his point is valid.

He is very much your savior Mru. He is trying every way he can.

I like that Mru got a little pleasure out of her mother's finacial misery. She will feel guilty about it later, but at least she will have this moment.

Hope Mru takes up the offer. Lingerie, BBQ, the whole package.

Hope

“I feel like I am living in some alternate universe, I should be applauded for refusing to meet grifters instead I am being asked why I don’t want to meet them” Aatreya was furious. The CM’s office or some minister’s office had called Sharan Mhatre his boss and demanded to know why Mr Savarkar was not able to meet the SVP of the Bank, Aatreya was refusing to set up a follow up meeting

After the showdown at Mrunalini’s he had asked his admin to cancel the followup with Savarkars

But it was costing him now

“We don’t mess with politicians Atty we live her we do business here and we grin and nod”

“Well I am not about to pave a path to prison for myself” Aatreya spoke bitterly

“You do know there will be 100 people reviewing everything” “Or close”

“But the rate its going I suspect we might have to ask all 100 to look the other way so we can make it happen”

Sharan sat down defeated

“We have to have a reasonable response”

“Ask the political stooge to go look at this couple’s website”

“Well I am told they have many completed projects now”

“Has anyone conducted forensics on those photos?” Aatreya was looking at his phone

“Umm.. no”

“Umm.. that’s troubling” Aatreya sighed looking up

“I suspect this is some kind of a serious embezzlement scheme”

Aatreya nodded

“Either that or they are too stupid, they are paying some 18 year old with HTML skills to steal photos and add it to their site”

“Lets think about how we want to go about it”

“If you want me to meet them I will excuse myself” Aatreya was firm

“I heard you might know someone Mrs Savarkar knows?” Sharan injected politely

“the woman I hope to marry is her daughter” Aatreya spoke straight

Sharan looked astonished

“Her Mum?”

“Hmm”

“Wow… this does get messy”

“What do u mean”

“I heard her daughter has been influencing you”

“Good… as she should… plus I also hope you notice the serious conflict of interest, I cannot be underwriting the loan, I am close to Falguni Savarkar’s child”

Sharan was stumped

He was hoping to coerce Aatreya but Aatreya has instead twisted his arm

“I will not be meeting them. Let them know you can have my direct report meet them… Gujral is in town I can ask him to”

“I will have to think through this one”

“Take ur time Mhatre” Aatrya began walking toward the door

“Congrats man!!”

“Welll”

“Did u pop the question yet?”

“I did… but umm.. lets say I am waiting for the answer” Aatreya smiled

“Ur kid is cute man! Sorry I missed that social u hosted”

“Yeah that was before u”

“I heard”

“Some college fling?”

“No actually… pre grad school ONS” Aatreya was forthright

“Oh wow”

“Yep…”

“Wow… have I met her”

“Umm.. not yet… u can stop by for dinner Saturday, bring Amrita and the kids”

“I just wrangled an invite” Sharan chuckled

“U did” “AND I am still not meeting Savarkars”

Sharan scowled

“Dinner? My place Saturday night?” he texted Mrunalini as he got on the elevator

“Why?”

“I want u to meet someone”

Her heart skipped a beat, then sank. She realized she did have a real relationship with him, but her pain was never going to go away. His parents saw her as a sl—y woman who put out the first night she met their son. Her mother thought the same about her Dad

So they were similar afterall, her heart broke all over again, “men will never take u seriously” Falguni had said to her when she had declared she was pregnant

“WHO?”

“U have to wait”

“Has Dhru met her?” she asked immediately

He smiled

He feverishly wanted her to commit, she feverishly wanted to guard herself

Ohh Mrunalini, don't think like that.

Come out of your past and look at the bright future you can have.

For him you already are family. So is for you.

Why deprive yourself ?

Hope you have great Saturday evening.

He smiled

He feverishly wanted her to commit, she feverishly wanted to guard herself

Its heartening and heartbreaking at the same time.

Where we come from does matter!

Poor Mrunalini her insecurity won't let her think positive about herself and things...She immediately jumps to negative outcome of every thing Aatreya says to her💔...Hope she will start to accept that Aatreya's affection towards her is for real and he respects her✨

The Savarkars are creating trouble for Atty. How far will the bank push him? Hope he doesn't need to resign.
