part 35

In Vishvanadhan's cabin..

KV standing in front of Vichu sir..who was drilling them with his piercing gaze..

With Koushik seated beside them with a serious face contrary to his cunning eyes...

"Guys...Today I got a call from target CEO and he officially declared that they backed off from the contract ..."

Though Karthik knew the matter already he couldn't restrict himself from getting shocked all over again..

After a contemplating pause..Vichu sir continued..

"U know what reason they gave for their refusal..?they told yesterday they got a proposal from silicon technologies offering them to do the same project with low cast ,high efficient ratio...so target corporation concluded that we r no more trust worthy to do business with them..as we leaked out our confidential matters about their project..as per their perspective they r right..we can't blame them..

Now my question is.. how come the details got leaked out? didn't u people know it was highly confidential?

Because of ur recklessness company lost a big deal and it's a very big setback for us..now our loyalty and trustworthy was ruined..

All because of one person's betrayal..he leaked the information to our competitor for his own benefit."

Vichu sir didn't raise his voice but his demeanor obviously showed his anger over the blunder done by his team...he stopped for a while and stared at KV for a moment.

"Now tell me..company ku ivlo periya dhrogatha senja andha black sheep ku yenna punishment kudukalaam..?"

KV looked at each other in utter shock..

"Karthik nee sollu.."

"Kandipaa..terminate pannanum..appuram legal action yedukanum.."

Karthik was confused out of three why sir was only asking to him ..?

"Correct..but idha naala namkku yerpatta bad name and lose idhelllam sari aagidumaa?

"Naama target ah approach panni thirumba oru chance kekalaam.." Karthik suggested ...

"And do u think they will agree..?" vichu sir asked mockingly..

"Try panni paarkalaam.." Karthik said..

"Karthik past is past..adhu mudinji pona vishayam..so let me come to the current issue in hand..inimel namma company la ippadi oru kullanari thanam nadakkaama irukka naama yenna panradhunnu think pannanum..

"Sure sir.."

"So indha project unnoda poruppula irundhadhu dhaane..?"

"Yes sir.."

"Appo andha details leak aanaa adhukku nee dhaane poruppu.."

"Sir..naaan appadi edhuvum pannalai.."Karthik denied in shock..

"Karthik...we have found that,andha presentation details unnoda system la irundhu dhaan silicon technologies la work panra Mr.Natraj oda personal mail ID ku poi irukku..

And we all know he was your team mate while u were in Mumbai..so it is as simple as saying 1+1=2...Even a foolish person would easily find out that u r the culprit..

Karthik was perplexed he never thought the gun point would turn towards him...he was about to say something to defend himself...

But Vishvanadhan raised his hand indicating him to stop..

"Let me complete first..but I am not a fool to think like that..i could clearly see that all the evidents were leading to u..thats where I got my suspicion.. yaennaa thappu pannanum nu nenaikaravan maatikaama thappu pannamunu than ninaippaan..yendha muttaalaavadhuu office system la irundhu thanoda sondha id la irundhu mail anupuvaanaa?"

But thappu panravan immature aa irundhaa ippadi amature thanmaa uvum pannalaam..illai maatikitaa..indha point ah solli thappikalaamnu nenaichi kooda panni irukalaam..

I may easily go along with the visible evident and take action against u..but if I did so I might be escaping the actual culprit..

"So I wanted to give u a chance.."

"Sir ..Karthik dhaan thappu panninaangaradhukku evidence irukku..appuram yedhukku sir avanukku innoru chance kudukareenga..my suggestion is better kick him out of the company.."

Koushik interrupted hastily..as the conversation was not going as per his wish..

"Koushik..keep all ur suggestions with u..i know what I am doing..."Vichu cut off his poking nose out rightly and turned towards Karthik..

"Karthik ...If u want to prove u r innocent... then u have to come up with the proper evidence..and should point out the real culprit..

U have only 24hours left with u..if u r able to sort out this issue and come out of it. then fine..or else..simple.. I will go with the evident available in handy..

"So whats ur stand?"

Vishnu ..talked for the first time..

"sir,I know Karthik..he won't do such cheap acts even in his dream..he will definitely prove his innocence..sir.." he said with confidence..

"Adhai Karthik sollatum.."

"Sir, naan yendha thappum pannalai...i will prove it to everyone .."

"Ok fine..your 24 hours starts now..you may go now..and don't forget ..ur activities will be under vigilance.."

In canteen KRVL

"Yenna daa idhu... ippadi oru problem..sathiyamaa yennala nambave mudiyaladaa.."

"Venume Karthik ah maattivida ipapdi panni irukaanga.." Raji said with underlying anger..

"Ippadi panra alavukku ..Karthik ku yaaru edhiri irukka mudiyum..?" Lakshmi asked in surprise..

"Vera yaaru yellam andha dragula vaa dhaan irukkum.." Raji gritted her teeth..

Karthik was Silent throughout..and sipping his coffee..relishing it slowly..

"Dai,naanga inga yevlo serious aa pesittu irukom..nee paattuku pesaama irundhaa yennadaa artham..yennamo yen mela pazhiya potta maadhiri naan dhaan padharikittu iruken..nee paattuku cool aa coffee saapitutu iruka?" Vishnu asked annoyed..

"Yennadaa panna solreenga.."

"Unakku irukaradhu oru naal time adhukkulla nee thappu pannalai nu prove pannanum Karthik.."

Raji said with urgency in order to steer up that impassive lazy idiot..

"Yennai yaaro nalla kothu vittirukaanga..thappika vazhiye illai..

Yennoda system la irundhu mail poi irukku..andha nerathula naan seat la dhaan irundhenu evidence irukku..mail ponadhu yennoda old colleague ku, idhukkumela yennada prove panradhu..?"
Karthik said in submissive tone..as if accepting his defeat even before conquering ..

"But nee idhai pannalai dhaane..? Appo prove pannu..adhukkunu appadiye vittuduviyaa?"

Raji asked in rage ..

"Yennadaa machaan ippadi pesura?" Vishnu asked in shock.

"Dai Vishnu,..yevano yennai pakkavaa plan panni maatti vittirukaan..appadi pattavan avlo easy aa maatuvaanaa daa..?what if I can't find him in one day...prove panna mudiyaattiyum paravaa illai daa..neenga feel pannaadheenga...ivanga yenna yennai velaiya vittu thookaradhu.. naane vendaamnu sollitu poga poren..my dad also calling me for so long to take over his business...so better I go there instead of dealing with this invisible rogues.."

Before Karthik utter a next word... Raji grabbed his color in rage..

"Dai..."

"Podaa..yenga venaa po..aanaa adhukku munnadi nee yendha thappum pannalainu prove pannitu po..un mela ippadi oru pazhi vandhudichennu naan ovoru nimishamum mullu mela nikkara maadhiri thavikaren...nee yennamo periya ivan maadhiri pesura..?unakaaga panna vendaam..yenakkaga pannu ...ne nallavan nu prove pannu.."

Atlast a pearl dropped from her eyes..which she tried very hard to sustain till then..

"Raji I am sorry..naan romba tension aanna neenga lum tension aavenngannu dhaan naan casual aa irukara maadhiri nadichen..but adhu ippadi back fire aagum nu nenaikalai..i am really sorry.."

He enclosed her hand that still clinging to his shirt with his hand...

"Definitely I will prove my innocence..yenakaaga illaatiyum..yenmela ivlo anbu vachirukara yennoda friends kaaga" he declared with pride...pride of having such wonderful friends in his life..

"Sari yenga irundhu aarambikalaam..?"lakshmi initiated their plan with a query .

"Yenakku andha Koushik mela dhaan doubt irukku..." Raji was sticking to that one point..

"Our suspicion alone won't do any good Raji..we need strong evidence.." Karthik said..

"Aamaa Raji..avan pakkaavaa plan panni Karthik ah maatti vittirukaan..mail anupina time la cctv camera work aagalai..Karthik access card shows he was in office premises that time..appuram avan mail anupinadhu personal mail id la irundhu..,anupinadhu avanoda ex colleague ku...yellaa proof um Karthik ku against aa irukku.."

Vishnu stated the actual difficulties..

"But namma Vishvanadhan sir Karthik ah nambaraaru..adhaan avanukku innoru chance kuduthirukaaru.." Raji has reminded the positive point..

"yes adhu onnu dhaan positive sign..indha issue vaala vichu sir ku dhaan periya problem ..easy aa yennai maatti vittu avaru thapichirukalaam..but he has given me a chance..it shows he still believes me at the corner of his heart..so I shouldn't let him down.."

Karthik was very determinant..

"Sari oru moolaikku..naalu moolai aa serndhu think pannuvom yedhaavadhu idea kidaikkum." vishnu said ...

Dai..naalu moolaiyaa?unnaiyellam moolai irukaravan list la serkaadha daa.."Karthik teased him..

"Aamaa indha nakkalukku onnum koraichal illai.."Vishnu said with irritating voice..

KRL chuckled ..their laughing sound was like a stress relief for all of them and lighten the moods of them after the anxiety and emotional stree they had under gone...

Suddenly Raji's face light up with an enlightenment..

"Karthik..naan sonnenne nyaabagam irukaa?hard rock caf la Koushik ah paarthennu..avan kooda yennai paarthadhum oodi ozhinjaannu..ippo yenakku adhu romba suspicious aa thonidhu..naama anga poi visaarichi paarthaa yenna?"

Karthik nodded his head affirmatively..

"Don't know how far this will help us...but still there is no harm in giving it a try. Instead of searching in the darkness..we can proceed in this direction..."

"But naama Koushik ah ye target panna koodaadhu..vera yaaraavadhaa irukkavum chance irukku..so matha angle layum think pannunga.."Lakshmi insisted them.

"Ok lakshmi..first caf ku poi paarkurom..anga visaarichaa yedhaavdhu clue kedaikalaam.."

"My gut feeling says an important clue lies there...

Anga irukara cctv camera vaa paarthaa Koushik anga yenna panninaanu therinjikalaam.. "Raji said

"But the authorities won't give those details to any ordinary persons..we need some influence to get those information.."Karthik..said..thoughtfully..

"Yes Karthik is right..they don't give those details just like that to any outsider.." Lakshmi said..

"Ippa yenna panradhu.." Raji asked worriedly..

"Dai machaan ippadi pannaa yenna?" Vishnu asked excitedly..

"Yeppadi?"Karthik asked..

"Naama Ins kitta help ketaa yenna?"Vishnu said

"Yaarudaa Insu.."karthik asked in confustion.

"Dai inspector daa.. oru thadava newyear night thanni adichittu.." Vishnu didn't complete..

"Nee yellaa varushamum dhaan kudikara..yendha varushatha solra? karthik asked mockingly...

Vishnu stared at him fuming...

"Sari daa..kochikaadha...mela sollu.."

"Adhaandaa..new year night la naama drinks pannitu bike la varum bodhu police kitta maatinome..3yrs back niyaabagam irukkaa?"

Vishnu tried to make him recognize..

"Dai..naama nu yaenda yennai yum koottu serkara..nee kudichennu sollu...kudikaadha naan drive pannitu vandhadhaala dhaan avaru ponaa pogattum vittaaru.." Karthik edited his statement..

"Aamaa ippa ivaru uthama rathinam nu yellarukum theriyanum adhaane..?"Vishnu asked in exasperation..

"Ammaandaa ,appuram Raji yenna thappaa nenaichitaannaa..i am a born gentleman u know.."

He boasted about himself..

"Dai.. unnoda gentleman thanam laam yenakku theriyum daa.nee college la adicha kootha sonnaa un peru naaridum." Vishnu said with threatening voice..

"Iyooo ...pls stop ur stupid arguments..why don't u guys are not understanding the seriousness of the situation..?" Raji yelled at them angrily..

"Ippo andha ins nu soneengale avara contact pannunga..Namakku help pannuvaarannu kelunga.." she asked to Vishnu casting an angry glare to Karthik to which he showed his puppy face..

"Avaru kandipaa pannu vaaru Raji.. because Karthik ah avarukku romba pidikkum...naanga adhukkapuram two ,three times meet panni irukom..avar kooda recent aa cyber crime ku transfer aanadhaa kelvi paten.."

Vishnu gave the necessary details..

"Thank god..Vishnu avara konjam seekiram contact pannungalen.." Raji asked impatiently..

"Cool Raji... naan ippave call panren.."

Vishnu dialed his number..he had spoken for some time and cut the call..

All three were looked at him with hopeful eyes..

He raised his thumbs up and said..

"Success ...avaru office ku vandhu meet panna sonnaru..."

KV left with a new zeal of hope while RL anticipated eagerly for the good news...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Vishvanadhan's cabin

He was staring the monitor of his lappy with a serious look on his face while his hands moving fast on the keyboard..suddenly his intercom buzzed..his hands stopped for a while from typing..and he answered the call..

"Hello ,sollu Nancy.."

"Sir ungala paarka Inspector Raghavan vandhirukaar.." a voice from the other end answered..

He thought for a second..and replied..

"Ok send him in.."

He kept the receiver down with a thoughtful look...

At the same time he heard a knock on the glass door..

"Yes come in.."

A tall ,young man in his late 20s entered into his room..with a friendly smile..he was clad in casuals, t-shirt and jeans..fitting to his body perfectly like a second skin..Highlighting his well toned muscles...his hair was trimmed shortly..and clean shaved face..sharp eyes reminding an eagle..over all he is a handsome ,young ,energetic guy..nobody could guess him as an police officer unless otherwise he said it on his own..his looks resembles a guy of the next door..

He extended his hand for a firm handshake..

"Hello sir,I am Ragavan, Inspector of police..Cyber crime.."

"Nice to meet u Mr.Raghavan..how may I help u?"

"Sir... hope I have not disturbed ur busy schedule.."

"Oh.. no problem..i know officers like u will not arrive without the appropriate reason.."

"Actually I have come here unofficially..so that only I am in casuals.."

"Oh..Then tell me what is ur unofficial work in Netech.." vichu sir asked casually yet with keen eyes..

"I heard that some commotion had happened with ur new project..and u r suspecting one guy regarding that matter..Sir u may wonder how I knew all these internal matters right..actually..i heard it from Karthik..i came here on his behalf only...Yesterday he came to me with his problem seeking my help to come out of this mess...

Karthik yenakku romba therinja paiyan.so I did an informal enquiry..and found that Karthik is innocent ..in my investigation I also come to know the real culprit..here I would like to share some information with u.."

"Go ahead Sir.."

"First point, the project details was sent from Karthik's mail id..

I no need to tell u it's not that difficult to hack the mail id..especially when an internal IT team is in helping hand..."

Visvanadhan listened silently and absorbed each details given by the officer..

"Next.. it was send to a person who had worked with Karthik a year before..

Sir..If they were engaged in conspiracy, they would have contacted each other so many times..through any of the communication methods..

But for the last six months Karthik hadn't contacted him by any means...I have proof for that..."

He submitted some papers looks like mobile phone bill...

"I know all these evidence r not enough to come up for the final conclusion.."

"Now I would like to tell u one more thing..during my investigation one more person from ur team has come into the circle..And I had collected all information about him..

Surprisingly he turned out to be the main culprit..

He had met Natraj in hard rock caf a week before ..and they two were in contact for almost a month..daily avanga rendu perum personal numbers la irundhu atleast five six times pesi irukaanga..and I even recorded their last conversation yesterday.i want u to hear that.."

Getting a nod from Visvanadhan sir,Raghavan played the record.

"Hello Koushik..naan ippo problem la iruken..."

"Yenna problem..?"

"Neenga solli dhaane naan indha vishayam panninen...neenga dhaane andha Karthik ah pazhi vaanganumnu soneenga adhukku dhaan naan ungalukku help panninen.."

"Inga paaru yenakaaga panninennu chumma poi solladha..unnoda management ah impress panni kurukku vazhila munneranumnu nee assai patta..adhukku naan vazhi sonnenn avlo dhaan.yennamo yenakkaaga thiyaagam panna maadhiri pesura?its a mutual agreement that's it.."

"Yenakku promotion kedaikkumnu naan expect pannadhu unmai dhaan..anaa ippo inga nilamai yenna theriyumaa..andha target company la ..appadi oru Project ae naanga pannalainu sollitaanga..yenga boss iyum insult panni pesitaangalaam..avaru yennai koopittu kaachi yeduthutaaru..yennnai yeppa velaiya vittu thookku vaangalonnu naan bayandhu poi iruken...yenakku yedhaavdhu settlement pannunga..."

"Inga paaru Natraj... inga yenakkum romba prachanai odittu irukku.Karthik ah udane fire pannuvaanganu paarthaa..vishvandhan avanukku oru naal time vera kuduthirukaaru..idhula yenna ul kuthu irukkunnu theriyala..indha nerathula naama contact pannikaradhu romba danger..so konja naal wait pannu..ippadi phone la laam contact pannaadha puriyudhaa?

"Ippo nenga panam tharalainaa nan unga boss kitta unmaiya solla vendi varum.."

"Yennaiye black mail panriyaa.?yenakku thevai dhaan unnai poi nambinen paaru.."

"adheppadi yennai nallaa use panni unga edhiriya pazhi vaangittu yennai ambonnu vittuduveengalaa?naan yenna eenaa vaanaa vaa..?

"Sari naan panam tharen but konja naal aagum Sariyaa?chummaa chummaa phone panni thondharavu panandha.."

Then they heard the sound of call disconnecting.

A long silence prevailed there..

"Koushik..."vichu sir whispered breaking his silence.

"I couldn't not believe it..how could he do this? Koushik did this only to take revenge on his subordinate due to his personal grudges...at the cost of company's pride and honour as well as the life of so many employees..."

He asked in disbelief.

" I have other evident against him too.." The inspector continued..

"He was the one who influenced the IT guy to disable the cctv camera on that particular day and with his help only Koushik broke the password..of Karthik's mail id.."

So it was perfectly planned false accusation threaded on Karthik."

"Thank you so much for rendering ur kind help sir..if u r not here..then I would have punished an innocent person..Thank u so much for saving me from doing the sin.."

Vishvanadhan thanked the inspector whole heartily..

"No mention sir..anything for Karthik.he is such nice guy..and regarding this Koushik.."he dragged..

"Don't worry sir..i will make the necessary arrangements ..he will be punished abide by the rules of the company laws." Vichu sir said with stern voice..

"Ok then I'll take my leave.."

"Pleasure to meet a great officer like u sir.."

"Pleasure is mine too.."

Inspector departed..

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Karthik was in canteen..drinking his coffee..Koushik came there and teased karthik..

"Hi Karthik yenna innum inga suthittu iruka?veetukku anupalaiyaa unnai.?

Yedho police laam vandhirukaangannu kelvi paten..vichu sir unnai maamiyaar veetukku anuppa poraau nu nenaikaren." he said with a sly smile..

"Hello yaaru maamiyaar veetukku poraangannu innum konja nerathula therinjidum..." Karthik replied sarcastically..

"Yenna ozharra Karthik..velai pona udane paithiyam pudichiduchaa unakku..?"

Instead of replying to him Karthik just smirked ...

Mean time Raghavan come there and called Karthik

"Hi Karthik..."

"Hello sir.."

"Young man ..don't worry..unga boss kitta naan yellam thelivaa pesiten..koodiya seekiram andha karuppu aadu yenkitta dhaan biriyani ku varumnu nenaikren.."

He smiled mockingly eying Koushik...

"Thank u so much sir.." karthik expressed his gratitude by hugging him warmly...

where Koushik was sweating very badly with the turn of the events...he wiped the sweat beads on his forehead..mean time his phone buzzed...

With the name Vishvanadhan glittering on the screen...

To be continued..
