Dear Friends,
In the following two chapters whatever I have written regarding company takeover is to create drama and take the story forward, nowadays with advanced banking and other systems I think company's are not taken over in this manner, I know shares are traded but then how exactly they are taken over the detailed nitty gritty are not known by me...so take these chapters as my creative fallacy for drama's sake...love Tin

suhaanee chaandanee raaten
humein sone naheen detee
tumhaare pyaar kee baaten
humein sone naheen detee
tumhaaree reshamee julfon mein
dil ke fool khilate the
kahee foolon ke mausam me
kabhee hum tum bhee milate the
puraanee wo mulaakaaten
humein sone naheen detee
kahee ayesaa n ho lag jaaye
dil mein aag paanee se
badal le raasataa apanaa
ghataayen meharabaanee se
ke yaadon kee ye barasaaten
humein sone naheen detee

As Jai finished his breakfast, he looked at his watch, he couldn't wait for her return, without her presence his room felt empty, he got up in the middle of the night with his hands searching for her in the night, not getting her he woke up, he and Bani are close for how many days, 7 / 8 mahina lekin it seems a lifetime, pura zindagi toh abhi baki hai tabh keya hoga, Jai smiled at himself, Bani confirmed she will be arriving today, kaunsa train he had asked...
Mr Walia I know the way to the house from the station, mai pahuj jayungi...
I don't like your taking the taxi Bani...
Millions of people travel by Taxi each morning in all over the world Mr Walia...
Phirbhi I don't like it...
And I don't like when you want to chain me up...
I am concerned about you...Jai replied in a thick voice
I know Mr Walia, actually ek do kaam baki hai, khatam hotehi I will take the first available train....
Inform karna...
I will see you in Mumbai Mr Walia...
Jai Sir, Pushkar is here to see you with another gentleman....Tony informed...
Pushkar? Itna subah, o.k. Tony ask the security to send them in...
++
Pushkar was surprised when AD called him up in the early hours of the morning to say he will come and pick him up for an appointment...
Itna subah...Pushkar had asked goggily barely awake...
Yes Yes Pushkar itna subah, some work is best done in the morning and anyway some people are too busy during the day, you get to meet them only in the morning...
Pushkar got ready, with thoughts of Pia disturbing him, he got to sleep only towards the morning, he barely finished his tea when AD came, looking bright and handsome, Pushkar went and sat in his car....
Pushkar was surprised the car coming to a halt at the gates of Walia Mansion, AD indicated that Pushkar should announce his arrival, Pushkar frowned but nevertheless asked the security if Jai was at home and he would like to see him...The security knew him and as expected he was quickly allowed to enter...

As Bani and Rano get ready to disembark from the train, woh paper tumne theek se rakha hai na Rano...
Ha didi, I have kept in properly, made three copies and kept it in 3 different places...
Thank god, Rano you work for the corporate secretariat, nehi toh itna jaldi yeh sab nehi hota, thank god you knew people in the stock exchange who could help us...
You know what Di, I somehow feel Mr Walia wanted me to be in this department fast, he did not wait for my results nor asked me whether I wanted to work, he just said I am joining that department...
Well Rano, he trusts you and that is important...
I know Di but Di what will you tell him when he comes to know about this...
Bani became quiet, this is a question which has been haunting her....well lets see, kuch sochenge...

As Jai walked towards his study to receive Pushkar but he stopped when he saw the man accompanying Pushkar. Aditya alongwith his sons were also preparing to leave for office stopped, while Ranveer busied himself, Sahil spoke aloud yeh kaun hai,
Aparajit Deb, Pushkar's new boss...Ranveer looked at Sahil with irritation, yeh ladka kab interest lega to know about the business world...
Aditya glanced at his sons, one over enthusiastic and the other under enthusiastic, both of them can be problematic he thought, he went and stood behind Jai who was now sitting on the sofa ...
Ha Pushkar, you wanted to see me, keya baath hai....Jai ignored Aparajit...
Jai Sir, this is my boss Mr Aparajit Deb...
Hello Mr Deb, have a seat, is it you who wanted to see me...
Yes Mr Walia, I wanted to see you for past so many years, I mean past 7 years to be precise...
Jai frowned, waited for Aparajit Deb to continue, Pushkar looked puzzled....never knew Aparajit Deb wanted to see Jai Sir so badly...
Aap yeh nehi puchhenge kiyu....Aparajit asked ...
I am waiting for you to tell me that Deb.....you wanted to see me so there must be a reason too...
Yes of course there is a reason too, remember this day 7 years ago....
Jai looked at Aditya, none of them had any clue as to what Aparajit was speaking about....Jigyasa who was busy finishing her breakfast comes and joins the men...
Well Deb as you see none of us have any idea what happened 7 years ago...incase you have something to tell us please hurry up as both Jai and I are scheduled to attend a meeting in office...
Office? what office? whose office? Well Walia you will not be working in that office for long...so what is your worry...
Cut it out Deb, as Aditya said, if you have something to tell us please hurry up as we have an appointment and I hate to be late for my appointments....
Ha ha ha, your appointments in future will be with the court house of India and they are not known to deliver justice in time...AD continued speaking in riddles
Pushkar next time you want and come to see me, please give me a week's notice with purpose otherwise I am busy for you too...Jai got up to leave....
Walia....what is the hurry, have you forgotten Pallavi Sarkar, of course you will forget, you had too many, and Pallavi was just one of them....
Aditya, who is this Pallavi Sarkar....tumko yaad hai kuch, Jai looked totally disinterested....
Pallavi Sarkar was my fiance, my to be wife, everything was fine until she got a job in your office and fell for you, you used her, made her pregnant and then she killed herself when you refused to marry her....
Goodness gracious me, how many girls have I made pregnant in this world....he looked behind Aparajit Deb, Bani and Rano were standing....no doubt they heard him...
Firstly Deb, there are many girls working in my office, I admit at one point of time I went around with many girls but I did not make them pregnant and as a rule I did not go around to my office girls....
Rule what rule, I have your picture, AD opened his file to take out a picture to throw it towards Jai...it was some sort of party Jai was standing with a glass in his hand and a lady holding his arm, both smilling at the camera....
Jai passed it on to Aditya....you knew all my girlfriends Aditya, does this girl ring any bell...
Aditya had a look.....then stared at Aparajit....I am sorry Mr Deb, this girl was never Jai's girl friend, believe me we never knew her
Mr Bali, you never seemed to know your sons' girlfriends but kept a tab about your sala's keya baath hai, mil batke khate te keya...
I think that is enough, Jai shouted, how dare you speak to us in that manner and that too standing in our house...
Our house is it, for how long, well the people from the court will be coming any moment, I have brought your shares and Walia if you do not know you are now a minor share holder in Pallavi Investments...I own that company which have brought the shares of Walia & Sons the parent company of all your business....
Jai and Aditya did not look surprise, they were expecting something it seems, Ranveer was surprised to see their composed self...
Well Aparajit you may have but how much and what is the proof, mai aisa keya man lu that you have more shares then me.....
Well here is the proof....
This report is generated at 5 minutes to 1600 hrs yesterday just before the market closed at 1600, I brought your shares and this is your status and this is mine, giving in detail the share breakup...well Walia today Pallavi died jumping from the roof of your office building, today is the day I have killed you also, that time your security chased me away...today the same security will chase you away from your own office..
By chance are you known as Apu? Jigyasa asked...
Aparajit Deb, Apu to near and dear ones....if you want to call me Apu madam I am delighted....but not after leaving this house, that time I would prefer a sir attached to it after all I will be owner of this place then...
Well AD I think you are a mad man, Pallavi was right when she complained about you to me....oh don't look like that Jai Bhaiya never knew Pallavi that picture was taken during our annual party after the company's AGM, all girls in the office wanted to have a picture with my brother, can't blame them, young, handsome, successful, which girl will not get attracted to him....but Pallavi loved you, she used to work for me, recruited by me as that time I was planning to set up a garment business, she was a textile designer, your classmate and your girlfriend....but you did not trust her, often questioned her about the boys in office, followed her, much to her disliking....she wanted to get away from you, fed up with your antics, she confided to me everything, we hatched a plan, on her desk I saw this photo lying taken a week ago in the party, I told her to show this to you and get rid of you, you have got a better man so will not like to go around with you any longer....She was reluctant but she realised Jai Walia was too big for you to confront...she followed my words, few days later she discovered she was pregnant, she was a simple girl who did not believe in abortions....I don't know what happened but she became very quiet, only to tell me at times that you were still bothering her....anyway I was too busy with my life to get tangeled in her issues...but one day she came running into my chamber, you were coming to confront Jai Bhaiya to ask him about his plans of marrying Pallavi, who was carrying his child...Pallavi tried to stop you but you had found out that he was in station and in office....Pallavi did not know what to do, how could she let you face Jai Walia when he was not aware about the whole thing....I remember she was distressed with shame and guilt, she was searching for a place to hide, she did want to be ridiculed nor she wanted an innocent man to be accused....she ran away from my chamber only to learn she jumped from the terrace of our office ....
Yeh jhoot hai, Yeh jhoot hai...AD shouted you want to save your damn brother, you family, sab ek hi thaili ka chatte batte....I don't believe you, you killed her now putting up a story....well walia you are finished....I give you two hours to shift from this place....
No so fast Mr Deb.....here is a paper, I brought some share at 2 minutes to 1600 hrs yesterday in my name and my sister's....we both belong to Walia family,,,Bani came forward with a paper....
And ?
And as per the paper thrown towards you to Mr Walia, we are fifty-fifty shareholders of Walia & Sons, I don't think that gives you the right Mr Deb to throw my brother-in-law from this property yet...Rano stepped forward...
Very smart....
Well you are not the smartest in this world.....Rano added a rejoinder...
Well Walia once again it seems that you have all the luck with women, your wife and saali are here for your rescue but for how long....o.k. Walia today till 1600 hrs we have time, till the market closes, I give you time, prove your strength and I will prove mine ....at four we will know who is the owner of Walia Empire....
Ek minute Deb, one moment, Jai got up, went up to him and stood in front......I want to have your word, at 4 today evening if you lose the battle remember one thing, you will never ever extend your dirty hands towards Walia Empire, I don't want to pay for the mistake I did not commit and I don't want my family to suffer because of some lunatic who thinks I had stolen his fiance....
AD's face was already red, his eyes turned cruel with crude smile on his lips he said well Walia ....mai toh chala jayunga but will you be able to save your business, control the ambition of all...
Tum kehna keya chahate ho, Aditya intervened....Jai's eyes narrowed....woh tum mujh par chhor do Deb, I have been controlling it for so long, so in the future hopefully I will be in control till the time I wish to give up......tum apna socho...till 4 in the afternoon is your time limit...
As AD turned to leave, Jai called out to Pushkar.....You were my prodigy, I raised you up like a son but today once again I feel I made a mistake in helping someone standing on his feet who did not happen to be my blood....
Pushkar looked hurt...believe me Jai Sir I had no clue....
Jai was not hearing, he went towards his study....Bani looked at Pushkar, I know you are innocent, give him some time he will come around...
Will he, well I have once again betrayed him it seems...but this time it was not my fault...
As the family saw Pushkar and AD leaving, Jai came out to from his study....
Ranveer, can you please come to my study, Aditya you too...
