Chapter 52
Next day Twinkle was all ready...she was going to have a job she was obviously excited Kunj just smiled at her crazy nervousness in chosing the dress and shoes she would wear... the way she would tie her hair...
They both headed for breakfst Bebe made her eat curdSugar and they left...
In the office Kunj called together his main team Akash Mehra Maya were present among them whom Twinkle recognized... the rest gave their introduction...
The team whole heartedly welcomed her...
Kunj instructed Maya to train her as Twinkle had done her MBA in marketing and Maya was the Assistant Marketing head... and the others dispersed..
The office murmured about the new employee and her being their CEO's wife...
Twinkle as assumed by Kunj was very quick in picking up the flow of business...she was scheduled for an evening meeting with a new client she was nervous but got relaxed when the news came that Kunj was also going to be present with Akash leading the presentation she was specifically scheduled by Kunj so as to increase her experiance...
Twinkles nervousness vanished as Maya started her training yes one of the reason she was here was that she would be with Kunj and she always burnt thinking of Maya being around Kunj in the office... she was totally engrossed in her training as Maya laid out the details of rules... she had to remember each and every rule of the company policy before joining... before her evening meeting she was called in by Kunj for some talk...
"Mrs Sarna...Plz come to my cabin ASAP"
She looked at the receiver confused why was he calling her Mrs Sarna...and his voice was so stern and firm... maybe he was this way in his office... and thats why his office staff feared to commit any mistake...
"Yes sir" she placed the reciever back...
As she entered the cabin... Kunj was looking into some file...
"Please sit.."as he saw her standing...
"Kya tumne ye file padhi?"
Yes the file was about the meeting she had to attend in which she was not expected to do much...but she read it...just in case
"Ha.. Maya ne muje handover ki thi... I read it after lunch.."
He placed the file in front of her... in her hands reach...
He got up... to pour some coffee in from the thermos...
"Coffee?"
"Toa.. kya sochti ho tum is deal k bare mein.."
"Ye clients naye hai... aur inke startup ko abhi ek sal bhi nhi hua... inko trust karne se pehle hume check karna chahiye..."
"Inke figures aur facts toa bata rahe hai ki...they are on a marathon to success...kya aisi growing company k sath deal karke fayda nahi hoga..."
"Of course hoga... but as Marketing expert ye deal humari Market value down kar sakti hai..."
"Are you sure ...?"he asked coming to stand beside her chair leaning partly on his table..
"Twinkle thought... for a while... for now it will damage... but long run me agar profits hue toa... sab cover up ho jayega..."
"Hhmm..,toa ab kaise decide karenge... ki deal karni ki nahi krni..."
"Vo toa meeting me pata chalega.."
He wanted Twinkle to start thinking and make decisions...''""" in the world of business...A right decision at a right time matters the most...""""
And he was satisfied...that she dint come to any conclusions before hand... and was waiting for the meeting...
"Okay now we'll see each other in the meeting..".. he gave her permission to leave...
She was nervous when he started questioning ... the one who was questioning wasnt her husband he was the business Tycoon Kunj Sarna... whose rare glimpse she would see only when coming to give his lunch or when he yelled at his employees...
But she was confidant that... she should speak what she felt and she atleast knew her husband a bit that... she should not have the fear of being wrong in front of him...
As she got up...she spoke
"Okay Sir" he turned around from walking towards his chair... around the table..
"Twinkle tum muje yaha bhi Kunj bula sakti ho..."
"Nhi sir it wouldnt be professional...and -"
She was cut mid air...
"Tum muje yaha Kunj bulaogi..."it was an order... she nodded and left...
The meeting went quiet smoothly... this new clients were all young and with new energy...Twinkle was impressed by their presentation she thought they should definately sign this deal...
They were in their conference room to discuss privately whther to sign the deal or not...
Just then Kunj got a call in between... as he heard every1s opinion there were positive and negative points put forward... but in the end it was summed up to signing the deal... all asked Kunj... who dint speak... after the call..
"Muje lagta hai ye deal humko nhi karni chahiye..."all looked shocked... but knew that there might be a reason behind it none dared to ask... as they were used to Kunj making unusual decisions...all the time...
"But Kunj ye deal profitting hai... you know it"Akash spoke up
"Nhi Akash muje lagta hai... hume ye deal nhi krni chahiye..."he spoke not coming up with a rational explanation
He got up... and left... from the room..
In the conference room.. as Kunj left...
"Lagta hai..biwi k aane se boss ka dhyan kaam me kam lag raha hai..."
Twinkle stared at them..."m sorrie Mr.Siinha but aap agar apne Boss ko unke decision me support nahi kar sakte toa kamse kam unki pith piche unko taana toa mat mariye..."
"Oh common Mrs Sarna... aapko aise hi raato raat.. job de di.. pehle hi din imp meeting.. aisa kaha hota hai... sab ko dikh raha hai "
"SHUT UP SINHA"kunj roared over from the door... enough to make the entire office alert...nobody should dare to say a word against Twinkle...he was just about to go back for his mobile which he mistakingly left in the room... when he heard Sinhas voice...
"Sir vo mein... m sorry sir.."
"How dare you question the capability of Twinkle...n mera dhyan kaam me hai ya nahi... vo tum mujpe chhod do...tum koi hote nahi muje judge karne vale...aur Twinkle k bare me kuch bhi bolne ka koi hak nahi hai.. kisi ko bhi... jaise koi bhi pati apni patni k khilaf kuch bardasht nhi kar sakta ...vaise me bhi nhi kar sakta... agar Twinkle se koi galti hui toa.. mein.. hu use ehsaas dilane k liye... samaj me ayi tumhe baat"
"Yes sir.."
"Now get OuT.. "
Twinkle was always well aware of kunjs anger... she dint like what sinha said about her husband and the way she protected his respect... he did hers... just that ..his was... filled with anger...
She knew that his refusal of deal added to it as a fuel... she dint know why he refused but she would eventually ask him...
In the car.. both sat silently...as the wind ruffled his hair from the open window...she looked at him... her husband.. a self made man... who made her chest swell with pride...knowing Kunj Sarna as a business man... was just begining...
Looking at his straight expressionless face... she asked..
"Kunj ek baat puchun"
"Pucho"
"Vo deal tumne cancel kyu ki"
"Kyuki muje pata chala ki kal vo startup ki bade papa aur anand bhaiya k sath meeting hai... aur me chahta hu...ki vo sign kar le.."...her heart skipped a beat in surprise of the man sitting beside her...he skipped a deal for his bade papas sake... who had always tried to drive him away...or hurt him... she had come to know a lot about Kunjs childhood from bebe... and one thing she always would connect was how Kunjs bade papa and badima treated him...and here he was...
"Par tumhe kaise pata ki..."
"Muje call aya tha meeting mein..."
"Kunj tum unke liye itna kyu karte ho?"
Kunj looked towards twinkle with surprise... and he found she spoke it solely bcoz she cared for him.. she worried for him...he looked back at the road...
"Kyuki... they are family"..
"But kunj har bar toa tum aise nhi kar sakte na... fir tumne jo itni mehnat karke company khadi ki hai uska kya"
"Twinkle me har bar aise nhi krunga... naahi apni company ko bhula hu... vo bas... pichle dino me jo sab hua uske bad se Sarna Empire ki koi bhi company jo badepapa ya bhaiya lead kr rhe ho...unko koo project nhi mila... bhale hi unhone muje kuch bhi dene se mana kar diya tha... but vo agar dete toa vo..company meri zimmedari hoti na... aur most imp ki usme mera... naam... humara naam juda hai... Sarna..."
Twinkle had a faint smile... as she looked back on the roads...
As they reached Sarna house...
They had a quick dinner out of tiredness...bebe was all delighted...she showed that all of it was for Twinkle but there would be some other reason too for her excitement the smile plastred on her face all the time... showed it was not only coz Twinkle started job...
Kunj qnd Twinkle were standing near the dining with Twinkle heating up milk for him... and he... munching on some badams...staring at her... while heating... she too glanced at him.. only to find him watching him staring her shamelessly.. and munching badam...she smiled shyly and blushed as they had eye contact four times...even she dint know why she smiled...she poured in the milk and.. came forward to him...
Kunj had a weird and confused expression on his face... she noticed he was trying to sense something... just like through some sixth sense... he got a bit cautious...just then...
A tennis ball came whistling from the side of Kunj... with speed... but he caught it right before it could hit his head between his ear and eye...Twinkle was totally in awe and.. stunned by Kunjs reflexess... as he held the ball in his hand...'baap re babaji... kitna fast hai mera pati toa...'
She then watched beside them in the direction from where the ball came... stood a man...
He looked at Kunj and her with a hint of mischief...he was shorter than Kunj...she smacked her head...'Twinkle tere pati se sab chote hi dikhte hai...itna lamba hai tera pati' as she got back to observe the attacker...he wore a silky maroon shirt with light colored... jeans...and a belt... he had a sindoor tilak on his forehead...his face had a smirk...and she noticed at last... he had a gold pendant with a small something attached to it... she narrowed her eyes to look carefully... it was... a miniature form of Bajrangbali's GADA...
