PART 11
We reached Kundra Iron and Steels, Ltd. Headquarters at around lunch. Grace had left a message about RK being free during lunch hours. Ri was super excited to see him, and I...oh well! I wanted the interview to get over as soon as it could. We introduced ourselves to Grace, who was a beautiful blonde Aussie. After 15 minutes, we were asked to proceed to the conference room. I was anxious for the interview to get done.

Inside the conference room, I entered without a knock. Shit. He sat on the farthest end, facing the windows with his back to us.

"Morning Sir!", Ri stuttered. I rolled my eyes.

He turned and gazed at her and then me. I looked away, as pissed as I was. I felt Ri melt. Ofcourse, everything said and done, RK was the most handsome guy I had ever met. She elbowed me. I shushed her.

"Hello, Ladies", he greeted. Ri moved forward and shook his hands while I stood at a distance. He kept staring at me.

"Sit! Madhu.", he offered me the seat right next to him. I obliged. Ri drooled. I passed the questions to Ri while I switched on the recorder.

"Hello, Sir. I am Maria. I am Madhubala's colleague."

"RK, here", he nodded.

"So, we'll start with the basics. Do you follow Brisbane Weekly?"

"Yes. I do. Very religiously. Infact the business section is the one I look forward to daily"

"Sir, that is personally handled by MD", she spoke anxiously. I rolled my eyes as I sat setting the recorder.

"Ohh.", he paused and looked at me. I, in turn, looked at Ri instead of him.

"Any piece of advice for any columns of our paper?"

"You guys are doing a great job. Keep it up!"

"Thank you, Sir", I saw Ri going head over heels over his answer.

"What inspires you?"

"Basically my father. He was my mentor and I owe my success to him"

"...and to those lonely forest trips", I murmured. He glared at me.

"You were handling the Indian Unit. Why did you decide to come to Australia?"

I saw him getting uncomfortable. He paused. His eyes grew morose as if flashes of something in the past triggered in his mind. Ri looked at me. She was terrified. "RK, are you fine?", I finally spoke up. He opened his eyes and turned to me. "Yeah...", he felt relaxed. Ri's mouth gaped.

"Sorry for that, well. Australia was the one unit that I always wanted to explore and when I got an offer by my brother to switch our places, I thought what better could it get"

"Wonderful, Sir"

RK nodded. My mind lingered on that one moment where I saw RK getting uneasy. The interview continued but my mind was somewhere else. RK had to shake me up, to bring me back.

"Are you good?", he asked.

"Yes...thank you for your time", I faked a smile. Ri packed her stuff and thanked RK. We proceeded towards the door when RK stopped me back. I asked Ri to wait for a while.

"What is wrong?", he asked.

"Nothing?", I faked.

"You were lost? Is the hangover still there?"

"Nope. But I do wonder that how could I get so bad a hangover? I've been accustomed to drink?"

"You're drinks had been spiked."

"What? NO!"

"Yes. And that's why I brought you back"

"But Joe and Mike are friends?"

"Who wanted benefits...", he growled.

"Classless morons. I really would like to speak to them."

"They're behind bars"

"For spiking my drink?"

"For messing with the rules."

"You had them arrested?"

"Madhu! I told you about that. Yesterday morning.", he looked at me shocked. I was stunned. How could I not remember. Damn it. Hangover.

"RK. I can survive. Please", I told him.

"7 years have gone by, and I can handle things"

"5..."

"Yeah. Well 5 years. But still."

"I have a meeting"

"Sure. I have to return to the office."

I turned to leave when he called back. "Now what!", I thought.

"Mom wants to meet you. Can you come whenever you can?"

"This Saturday."

"Fine by me!", he answered and moved past me...out of the door.

I quickly reached the car. Ri was anxiously waiting for me. "He is so intimidating!", she sighed. I rolled my eyes to her.

"MARIA!", I snapped in front of her. She chuckled.

"B.U.T! He is hiding something.", she grew intense.

"Yes, he is.", I put on my belt as she pushed the gas pedal.

"And that 'something' has something to do with his immigration to Australia."

"Ahaan...I deciphered that."

"But hey! The good part is, we have an interview for our 100th Year celebration. How cool is that!", she winked.

"Yeah! I think its going to be memorable...", I joined her ecstasy.

Back in office, Ri compiled and edited out his interview using her notes and the recording, while I studied the other stories that were going to make their way into our publication. It was a busy day. By evening, I commenced my interviews. Fresh new boys and girls who were just out of College. It was fun. Kind of reminded me of my days as a college student and then my first job interview at Filmfare Magazine. We recruited a bunch of assistants in our house. 3 of them were going to work directly under me. It was 9PM by the time I reached back home. I was tired and irritated and quickly went to bed.

Next morning, was my first day with the interns. Feisty bunch of teenagers who were immensely sincere. I was late 10 minutes and by the time I reached, they were already in the office.

"Aaron", I called out for the young boy. He jumped up consciously and quickly made his way towards me.

"Morning, Mam!", he greeted. I suddenly felt proudly senior.

"Get the other two newbies too. You have an assignment.", I winked my eyes.

Aaron hopped and came back with 2 girls.

"Caroline...and", I tried to recall the name of the other girl. She helped me.

"Mia..", she whispered.

"Yes, Mia. Welcome to the first day in office."

"Thank you Mam!", all the three spoke in chorus.

"No Mam, Rule No. 1", I smiled.

"Its MD.", I winked. They eased out. "Alright, MD", Mia spoke ecstatically. "That is good. I'd like you to keep in mind a few things. I don't like slackening of work. You can take off's if you're in some mess but I want your work up to date. Always. Secondly, I am very particular about deadlines. If I ask you something within a certain date, I want it on my desk or in my mailbox preferably a day before."

"Yes, Mam", Caroline nodded. "I mean...MD!", she bit her lip.

"Thirdly, no drinks in work hours, not even in lunch.", I pointed my fingers emphasising this rule.

"With this, I have your first assignment.", I took out RK's picture.

"I want you to make a clear profile of this person. And this is your work for this month. Your job assessment would be done based on what you 3 find out about him. Starting from his name, age and so on and so forth."

"Sure MD. When is our deadline?", Aaron spoke.

"As fast as you can. But authenticity must be guaranteed at all times. Is that understood?"

"Yes Mam", Mia spoke for them. They nodded and left.

Later that evening,

"Yes Maa. I am fine. I'll visit in the the summers. That is around December and January.", I told my always freaked out mother.

"Its been days Madhu", she cried.

"I know Maa. But interns have just joined in. I cannot leave the work to Maria and come to you. Once these kids are settled in their jobs, I'll pay India a visit."

"You promise Madhu?"

"Yes Maa! I swear. I will come in December", I kissed her on phone and cut the call. Keeping my phone on the side-seat, I pressed the gas-pedal and turned towards home. It was 5 in the evening, and the sun was still shining brightly in the sky. I passed by the road which lead to RK's house. My instincts told me to turn around and see him, but I controlled my feelings and continued home.

At home, I checked my phone and saw an email. It was from him.

Dear Madhubala,

I hope the interview has been compiled and edited into a proper draft. I would like to see it tomorrow. Just a simple check before you approve it for publication. Let Will know what time will be suitable.

RK

I rolled my eyes. He was giving me shocks after shocks. I typed a reply.

RK,

The interview has been compiled and edited out. If you want to come, you can come around at any time that suits you.

PS: I am not a regular client. I am an old friend and I talk directly to you and not to your Mr. Will.

-MD

-------

This guy always manages to ruin my mood. Another beep. Its a call. Without checking the ID, I pick it up.

"What is it RK!"

"MD, its Aaron"

I look back into the ID. *Shit* its Aaron.

"Sorry, Aaron. I was expecting someone else."

"MD. We have something to tell you. And its urgent."

"What?"

"Its about the person whose photo you handed over."

"I am listening..."

"His name is Rishabh Kundra. He is the heir to the most powerful empire in India"

"Go on..."

"MD. Everything is not right with him."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, how could someone leave his established business in India and come here."

"Be clear Aaron. What is it?"

"We're not sure MD. But it has something to do with his wife"

"His wife", I pressed the brakes of my car hard. It squeaked as I took to the service lane and then to the parking. I stopped the car.

"His wife Aaron?", I asked.

Off to study for my physiology minor. PMs at night =P

First to comment. To be honest I saw your post and waited for you to update.😆

Okay coming to the update.

Awesome update.

Still intriguing and the suspense is still there. More and more questions arises, and only one or actually two got answered in this update.😛 RK has, or had a wife. We still don't know if it is had or has.

He went to Australia because of her. Now my curiosity is peeking, what was the reason. Did she only marry him for money and then ditched him for someone else. Couldn't he love her because he had feelings for Madhu. But since he has a temper and said to Madhu that the old RK she knew is dead, I am thinking option number one. Or something similar to option number one. Cause something really bad must have happened since nobody is keen to bring the past open infront of Madhu. Neither her mother on the phone, RK or RK's mum Radhaji.

Now I am almost positively sure who his wife was. The girl with her mother that came to the party to remember his father. He was apprehensive about those two, even when the mother tried to pat his head. So as I said I am almost sure that it is the daughter from that duo.

Now I am looking forward for the next update. Knowing Madhu is the journalist she is, she will probably after getting this information from her new employees, try to dig some information up herself. And knowing how secretive RK is, he will find out about this sooner or later. The question is how much will Madhu have learned before he finds out. Will Madhu try to poke around and ask Radhaji something by camouflaging her real question? Or will she upfront and ask Radhaji directly. The reason why I am not taking RK in this equation is because of his temper and attitude. If Madhu asks him he will automatically lose the little control he has over his temper around her. And who knows what will happen then. Both are very pigheaded so anything less than a very loud and a very heated arguement is out of the question.

I am looking forward to the next update and I hope some of my questions from this comment and those previous will get answered. Thanks for the update and the PM. But as I said, I was stalking your post for an update.😆 I now remembered you typing at the end that you are off reading psychology. I hope my comment will give you something to analyse. And I hope your studies are going great. Good luck with the studies.😉
