Part 15Siddhant was eagerly waiting for the day and it has come. Yes the one week passed and the time given to all the staffs for completion of design also finished.
Today the meeting which was schedule before a week and everyone were tensed. Almost all were only able to come up with few designs of the order as they are used to work together in groups putting their ideas together to complete the order. Now they have been told to work individually and hence they were unable to finish within a short span of 1 week.
Everyone decided to inform their MD that they may need more time and show the available finished designs with them.
When everyone were tensed on how to tell him that it is not done and ask for more time, the person who finished all the designs within that 1 week was unable to understand how to show him the designs which is none other than Roli.
Roli was fully tensed. How she can show him the designs? What will be his reaction even if shown to him? Also how she can show when she was not selected as designer for the company & only selected as Receptionist. Above all these she atleast wish to go to see the designs of other senior designers. How she can get in?
Siddhant was looking at her tension, her expressions, her worry. Everything was understood by him.
Siddhant to himself: Dont worry darling! I am here. I will take care.
Siddhant called Roli in the intercom.
Sid: Ms. Roli..
Roli: Yes Sir.
SId: Inform all to gather in the conference hall.
ROli: Ok Sir.
Roli was thinking whether to use the same tea cup distribution like the other day & get in to the room or what else can be done. But he was worried what if he catch her if she repeat the same thing. Her hands were pressing the fingers of the other hand showing the tension she is facing inside.
Roli join her hands and prayed to Lord Ganesha to show some way..
Siddhant with a smile called Roli in the intercom again.
Sid: Ms. ROli.
Roli: Yes Sir..
Sid: Are you free now??
Roli: Of course sir.
Sid: Then why cant you join us in the meeting as you may need to help collecting the design of the designers and show me. I cant run here & there.
Roli: Sure Sir. I will come.
Roli to herself: I need to go for showing the design of the others. ANyway though i did not got chance to show mine. Atleast i got chance to see the others. Let me go & see to it.
ROli console herself and went to the conference room.
All were wondering why the Receptionist is joining the meeting..
Siddhant entered the room in few minutes greeting all the staffs 'Good Afternoon'
Siddhant showed the chair to ROli to sit which was 1st chair in one side of his Seat. ROli sat there quietly.
There was a laptop connected to projector in front of her.
Siddhant not even sit on his seat and started his conversation walking around the room.
Sid: So friends! Week passed. the time given for making the design is finished. Can we have a look at all your designs.
All the staffs in a meagre voice: Yes Sir..
Sid: Well. Can you come forward one by one and inform Ms. ROli where you saved your designs so that she can put the design in the screen through the projector.
Roli now only understood why she was called there which was to put the designs in the laptop. So all the designs made by them are in the system. But she was thinking the designs will be in their notebooks and she need to rush here & there to collect the notebooks from them. Even her MD told like that only that he cant run here & there. Then why he said so when everything is in the system. Any way now she got good chance to see all the designs.
The staffs one by one gave their path details to Roli to open their design in the system. ROli opened those files and projected it on the screen.
Siddhant was going throught each & every designs giving importance to each & every details. Even he asked for clarity if required from the one who prepared the design.
Roli was wondering how he is looking into design with indepth knowledge and idea about it and trying to understand it..
All the designs of the staffs finished displaying in the screen.
Sid: Well. Thanks for all the efforts taken by all the staffs. But can anyone confirm me who ever did the designing showed till now that all the design required for the order finished.
All of them bow down their faces.
Sid: Or in other terms who all can confirm me the shown design was what exactly i was looking for this special order which we got from new customer..
Silence maintained.
Sid: What this silence means? Can you all tell me? One full week time was given to you all for completing the design. But none of them completed all the design and whatever design finished also not upto what was exactly required.
One of the staff: SIr actually the time 1 week is very less.
Sid: Ok Then what other excuses.
Another staff; If we might have done the work together it might have got completed. Normally we work together dividing the work between us. But this time we were told to work separately. SO for same design everyone were working separately wasting our time.
Sid: Is the designing wasting of time? You all know why i told to work individually so that you can understand your own individual styles instead of just putting hands on others efforts. Anyway. You all only got reasons & excuses. Not the result.
Another staff: Sir it is not practically possible to finish all the designs of the order in a week that too individually sir. If you can give us few more days that too work together we will surely give best output as you expect.
SId: But friends, we dont have that much time as this is the first step and we got long way to go. ANyway, i will show you all one set of designs and I expect you too to give your honest opinion for that.
One of the staff; Whose design sir?
Sid; I think that is not required to be known until i reveal that. Now just go through it.
Siddhant gave the file path to Roli to run the file.
Roli opened the file and looked at screen eagerly to know what design it is and got shocked.
Roli's designs which she put in her notebook mentioning all the details of the design with purpose and each and every detail was displayed in the screen.
Roli turned towards Sid and looked at him pleasantly surprised.
Siddhant eyes expressed to keep quite.
The file was shown will all the designs required for the order and finished its pages in few minutes..
All were amazed on looking at those wonderful designs.
SId: Yes friends. Now its time for you all to open up your comments on the designs.
One staff: Perfect sir. Very beautifully design. I really wish to admit.
2nd staff: Superb sir. hats off to the designer
3rd staff: factastic designs. Never seen such elegant one before.
All one by one given appreciation to the design while Roli eyes were filled with tears of happiness.
Siddhant never missed to notice it.
Finally Siddhant concluded with his conversation..
Sid: Friends you all said it is not possible for individually that too in a week. But these designs which you all appreciated was done by an individual in 1 week time.
All staffs: Who is that SIr?
Sid: The one who you all know. The one who is one among us.
All staffs wondering who is that person that too one among us. ALl staffs whoever in designer department already given their incomplete presentation. Then who is that.
SId: Friends, No need to think a lot to locate that person as none of you might have even imaging the person to be a designer.
One staff: Who is that Sir? We all are eager to know.
Sid: Sure will tell you. But you all should accept her as Manager - Designer without any 2nd thought. If you all assure. Will surely reveal the person details.
Another staff: Sure sir. If someone is that much talented to make such wonderful designs in just 1 week. We are ready to accept that person as our Manager.
Sid: Well. Then congratulate your new Manager - Designer Ms. Roli Divedi.
Sid started clapping his hands and was continued by other staffs with shock well shown on their face.
Roli stood up and was freezed in complete shock...
Roli's tear filled eyes were thanking Siddhant...
