Hi guys I am so sorry could not update these past few days but I promise I wont let you down now. I had something come up.
...
Aniket woke up with a start it was 3:00 AM in the morning, his mobile just denied to stop buzzing. He looked for his glasses and then picked up the call.
"Bhai mere you are in Switzerland. Alps enjoy kar, Larkiyan enjoy kar par meri neend mat barbad kar."
"You were sleeping without informing me when Madhubala is supposed to come here. Were you guys able to pull her out from that shit hole?"
"Arrey Bittuji ne inform nahi kiya kya? This little man is becoming tinnier by the day."
"Whatever that is supposed to mean?"
"Madhu was pulled from that place successfully. We could not arrange for her Visa to Switzerland at such short notice."
"Short notice what do you mean by short notice? My company tops their priority lane. I was seeking a business Visa. How can they even refuse it?"
"Slow down your pace man! So many questions in one go. Fire them 1 at a time so that I may answer them. So for short notice, it was a short notice less than 24 hours to be precise."
"Less than 24 hrs ok but yet it was enough time."
"The conviction in your voice is replaced by doubts I guess. So for top priority yes it is, but government issues take time.So once again it was short notice."
"You are stuck at short notice. How long will they take to get her a visa and where is she now? I want her out of the country within next 24 hours at any cost."
"At any cost! Looks like a love sick puppy is talking."
"Oh shut up, I am not 20 year old lover boy straight from Mid Summer Night's Dream."
"Hahahaha How can I forget that. I still remember, that was the play in which you palyed that insufferable lover Lysander."
"Do you even know what rubbish you are talking."
"I was just getting nostalgic."
"Nostalgia my foot!" RK was losing patience and it was only Aniket who could test it with such vigor.
"Ok she already had a valid subclass 457 to Australia and so did Arihant. I shipped both of them together to Australia."
"He agreed?" RK was surprised. According to their initial plan RK was to wait for Madhu in Switzerland where they were to work on the Bank deal. It would take quite some time to finish it at least 8-10 months. RK had pacified Aniket that he would undergo the treatment there but in his mind he was sure that the treat was of no use. So he would go husband hunting for Madhu. This entire plan at his end was good enough to keep Aniket out of scenario. Little did he know that his friend could build a loop of his own and not only build it maintain it also quite well.
"He actually did but not without pulling a nail or two." Aniket replied.
"What ever did you do?" RK's tone had taken a 180 degree turn.
"My My someone appears all pleased." Aniket once again said in a weird tone.
"Don't talk like a eunuch."
"OK I did what I could now it is up to them. If you think I was not aware of what was coiling up in your mind then know this my darling handicapped man that I can read your mind like a teenaged girl reads Harlequin Novels."
"Only you can think of my brain to be those silly romance Novels. This brain rules over half the business world"
"Beware of that pride my boy. Ghamandi ka sar neecha suna hi na?" Aniket hung the phone. He was in no mood to answer any more questions. He could still squeeze a few more hours of sleep.
...
RK looked at his mobile for a few minutes and then shook his head vigorously to jerk off all the gibberish that Aniket had just said. Like he was trying to filter the best and let the waste go. He smiled and slumped back in his oversized cozy red leather couch. He stretched his arms above his head and moved his stagnant legs a little so that circulation could be achieved back. He had been sitting in this posture since a couple of hours hoping to get a call from India. He called Aniket only when he lost his patience. His feet felt numb and hence he ringed for his household help to assist him with some exercise. The man Allen came with a broad smile.
"Yes RK."
"A massage of my toes please." RK never used the words please or sorry easily but today he was feeling light and relieved. He had always wanted Arihant to settle down with Madhu. She was any man's dream. Sincere and confident, beautiful and of course sexy with curves just about right in every nook and cranny, she was precisely what they termed as beauty with brains. Allen's wonderful fingers were doing magic at his tired and sore feet. He relaxed and laid back in his huge couch and closed his eyes.
"Madubala" RK looked straight into her large caramel eyes. There was a confidence that ringed in her tone. Her voice was feminine but not girlish. It was heavy and she was cautious while using words or rather a miser. RK had been in this business too long and knew it immediately when he saw a diamond. He scrunched his eyes and then continued with the interview.
"You do have an impressive CV. Please do go through these reports and let me know what you think."
"I will get back to you with my opinion by evening sir." she replied in same controlled tone and looking at her masculine watch and then back to him.
"You have two hrs. Miss Mallik." He replied. He knew it was an impossible task to give an opinion on the financial reports of this size in two hours. These were some hypothetical figures that he had got construed in to a report for this interview. He knew that it was impossible for anyone with loads of experience to come up with a valid opinion in two hours, of course unless he was well versed with the figures of his sunflower oil corporation. This corporation was a negligible contributor to his group of industries financially and the figures were jumbled up from many years. SO unless a person was well versed with all the published reports of RK industries he was bound sink. This was precisely the test that RK took. He believed if someone had come for an interview, even if for being an intern he or she would need to be proud of what RK industries is. Only then would that person be worthy of being taken aboard.
"Alright sir I will try."
"Trying is never an option Madhubala at RK industries. Either you do it or you don't. Bittuji provide her with a seat in your cabin and a computer. Your time starts now young lady" He dismissed her with that. Madhu came out of his cabin.
"Two hours means 120 minutes. That should suffice" She thought. "I love challenges."
"Madam idhar chalna hai." Bittuji showed her the direction.
"After you." She said humbly. "Humility is in short supplies these days mam specially when it needs to be delivered to a person of short stature as I. This way please." He told he and she followed him choosing to be quiet. The entire office except the lockers and wash rooms was wired and it all was available for RK to introspect as and when needed. For now he was watching Madhu as she had caught his undivided interest.
"She does speak less." He thought. "You are a rare breed girl and I am intrigued. Let's see does the content of this book match the immaculate cover." He waited impatiently for the two hours to get over looking at the clock and then the CCTV video streaming. These were the only lazy couple of hours he had spent in past few years. Otherwise his mind worked even when asleep.
