PART IV
The day dawned and Chakor woke up to the roses whining while Raaghav was already off to wake up the boys. He was checking upon their projects and schedules for the day. Arjun was always into adventure and projects while Aayansh was into the soft skills of music and painting.
They set off to the school. Raaghav said Chakor that he will be visiting AZ in two weeks to check out there. Chakor was active in the development though she had not visited yet, as the kids were too young and Raaghav was not in favour of the kids and her to travel that long distance and he was scared that whenever she visited AZ something ill luck may strike.
Though she wanted to visit the villagers, she restricted herself as she did not want to upset him.
Raagahv dropped them and set off for his plantation. Shyam Lal called him saying he will be going to meet the wholesalers who had few issues with the quality of the supplies... He said Raaghav to meet Kishore and he will be back by noon. Raaghav always ensured that during every important business meetings Shyaam Lal was there as he regards him with high respect. Shyaam Lal has trained Raaghav and even says that he handles it well though he feels very honoured the way he was always respected next to Rishab the Owner. He treated Raaghav as his own family and he had an extra vigil over the boys.
Shyaam Lal was indeed worried as this is the first time in the history of the Rishab plantations that there has been a quality issue and the wholesalers who had dealt with Rishab Plantations had high respects for Raagahv after Rishab and does not want the information to go into the market.
****************************************
Kishore was there in the office as was called by and he was taken around the plantation.
The plantation was huge and was well maintained but there was a specific area which was down the hill and was bit rustic and had a small damaged building. He asked what it was and Raaghav said it was the old godown which has been pulled down as its accessibility by shuttle is difficult.
He inspected the plantation and found the workmen very sincere and was aware of every action of the management, but as Raaghav was still in his business attire he did not know that Raaghav also works with them.
Kishore said, Mr. Raaghav, its good that only a particular area is affected and once they sign the contract they can start the spraying of the pesticides. Raaghav said fine we shall go ahead and to meet Shyam Laal with the contract papers.
Kishore was taken aback, he said I thought you take decisions, Raaghav said ofcourse but the contracts are normally looked by Shyam Lal and the legal team and then comes to his signature.
Shyam Lal called Raaghav saying that he should meet the wholesalers as the issue of quality could not be sorted out. Raaghav excused himself and asked his other staff to carry the discussion with Kishore and asked him to come in the evening to meet him along with the contract. Kishore said this guy is very smart so I have to be cautious for the initial days and then go ahead. He said he will send through the contract as he has another meeting to attend to.
Raaghav rushed driving to the wholesalers office. Chakor called him to find if he would pick her from the school as her session was over for the day but he told her about the issue. He was worried as this was the first time that there has been quality issue with the stocks sent and it was sad they did not check it well before. It was mainly due to the insects which were damaging the leaves... and this plantation caters to the domestic market. Chakor realized he was tensed, he was sharing his concern when she said why don't you talk to them and tell them that you will replace their stocks with the international quality that was sent for export which was sent from the plantation which was in the higher altitude, to set against this. He felt it was a good idea and quickly called Shyam Laal and shared it. He reached their office in the meantime. Though there will be a cost incurred by the plantation but the goodwill of the company will not be affected and also the wholesalers will not suffer a loss. Shyaam Lal was very happy and was thinking himself about Chakor's smartness and spoke to the legal team and got the concurrence. The wholesalers were extremely happy as they will not incur any losses and promised that they will support Rishab Plantations till the insect clearing process is done.
Maidam has a solution for every problem... He smiled...thinking about the last night happenings as to how his tension was soothed...by his Chakor...and returned to his office, while Shyaam Lal stayed behind to organize for the checking the stocks which has to be replaced.
****************************************
Chakor called Raaghav and told that she was bringing the boys to the office, as the school had declared half-a day and they can go home together.
Chakor and the boys reached the plantation.
The families, their children saw them coming and the kids there ran to them as Ar and Aa always played with them.
Kishore was still there to clarify some doubts about the area before he could prepare the contract.
Chakor and the boys walked in to Raaghav's office...
Kishore looked up..Are they your boys??? He asked... Yes my sons... Raaghav said proudly.
Hello boys!!! He extended his hands... They said Namaste Uncle...
He looked at Chakor, she is ??.. Our mummy said the boys...
Hmmm mummy, Arjun and AAyansh held her hands...
He smiled at her and left from there.
Arjun looked at Chakor, they both looked at each other... Mummy... hmm Ar are you thinking what I am...yes mummy its so weird, he is wearing cap and googles even inside the office.
AA said Ar you always think of something, may be he is having some eye problem. Hmm maybe...
Shyaam Laal walked in and told that the wholesalers are extremely happy and the export stocks are being sent.
He asked Raaghav what about the consultant and when is he going to send the contract. Raaghav briefed him and told him that the contract will be coming in the evening.
Raagahv and Chakor went to meet the workmen when Shyaam Laal was talking with the boys!!! Kaaka AA called ... Yes,, mera laddoo... he loved AA for his innocence while he was awed about Arjun's smartness and shrewdness... Shyam laal said wait for two more days for your gift. He smiled patting on their cheeks... and asked the boys about how their life was going, about studies and asked whether they are happy... He had that special privilege to talk to the boys and take them alone too whenever he feels so and he used to do it occasionally.. Raaghav always was very particular that kaaka was given that highest respect by the boys and he always asked him to keep him informed if the boys had any issues as out of love Arjun never used to tell anything even if he hurts physically too as he knows daddy will get very worried. But the boys were too attached to Kaaka.. though he can be called daddha but as Raaghav calls him Kaaka he preferred to be called the same.
The boys were affirmative and Ar asked Kaaka happy?, why are you asking it... he said generally asked as you boys are growing and you are no more a kid and now you have your sisters so your parents may not have time to spend with you both...(he knew that RagKor's life spins around the boys but he wanted to hear from the horse's mouth). Both immediately told, kaaka, we wanted to tell you daddy and mummy are always worried about us, they first do everything for us, even feeding us but afterward take care of the babies. Should the babies be taken care of first?? Asked the boys... Kaaka hugged them both in his sides and smiled and said, they know you will take care of the babies, you play with them and even feed them and daddy and mummy loves you very much as you both are their first children so they take care of you first. Ar and Aa smiled with loads of pride. Yess kaaka, daddy and mummy loves us... we are so lucky...
Shyaam Laal called the security and asked him to bring the visitors register and asked him to show the TV footage. He went through the names while AR was watching and AA was watching the TV in the office room.
They saw the video footage... saw Kishore walking in and he was taken a pic as per the security norm... Ar quickly said, Kaaka are yeh kya, how can the pic be taken with the googles and cap... In my school we are asked to remove our glasses and caps. Kaaka was appreciating Ar, deko thum kitna samajdaar... You are right. He called the office and told them that the visitors need to be taken a pic without glasses and caps hereafter.
Mummyyy called AA... Lets go home I am feeling hungry... Chakor came running scolding Raaghav... I told you my boys will be hungry and told you that we should go home. You never listen and when you are in your office you forget about everything. Very bad you are... AA hugged mummy, please shaanth shaanth and Ar said mummy he had a packet of biscuits from Kaaka...dramabaazi chasing him while AA hid behind Chakor.
Raaghav ran outside to get the Rover to take them as his Maidam has started her lecture and will be lecturing through the drive till they reach the Mansion. The boys were laughing at the way daddy was afraid of mummy's gyaan...
As usual Ar came forward and was holding on to Raaghav's neck from behind...
She called on the way and told Girija to set the dining and found that the girls were also ready waiting for the bros to have lunch together.
*****************************************
It was in the evening when Kishore called the office and found that Shyaam Laal was waiting to meet him with the contract. Kishore sent his person with the contract to meet Laal. Laal went through the contract along with his legal team. The team scrutinized it and said they need two copies to be signed and retained by each and not to send only one copy and returned the same and to come back in the morning with sample of the pesticides.
Kishore fumed in his room to the person...The process is so well set so this is not so easy as I think he said. He said he will go the next day when the visitors card from the person slipped and fell down. He asked the person, where are your glasses in the pic? He said he was asked to remove the glasses and his sun cap and stand in the lighted cubicle to take a pic through the computer!! He stood up feeling irritated...banging the tables.
He sent two copies of the contract next day morning through his person. The team scrutinized the same and passed the documents through the laser rays for any hidden prints and sheets and the contract was sent for signature to Kishore first and then signed by Raaghav in the capacity of CEO, and one copy was retained by the Rishab Plantations. The sample was sent to the lab. He was irritated as he had to wait to get through his way as every barrel of pesticide was tested for clearance from the pest control official who had come on Laal's request and was sent for sparying.
It took two days for the initial spray to show the results. Raaghav was happy and Kishore was slowly winning his confidence and was also becoming friendly with the boys. He asked the boys do you believe in such sacred threads around their arms for which the boys said yes whatever our parents give we adhere to it.
Kishore was very careful in avoiding meeting Shyaam Laal and also visiting the Plantations as he did not wanted to be photographed.
*******************************************
It was evening and Friday, Laal told Ragkor that he was taking the boys outside to their usual orphanage where they normally go, to which they happily agreed to.
Kaaka they both gave their wooden boxes... to receive another cover from him.
My dear grandsons Arjun and Aayansh.
Blessings from your daadha Rishab... I am happy that you have grown to celebrate the tenth year with your daddy and hope your mummy has joined you all!!
If you are happy about your life... Go through the recording which Shyam Laal has .
If your are not happy with your life go through the documents which Shyaam has along with the lawyer uncle...
I hope you both choose the recording ...
I am not with you but am watching you all from above.
Blessings...
He asked the boys... what do you want to choose...
Aa was so disappointed thinking he would get a big bar of chocolate or a game console as it was earlier but recording ugghhh...
Ar looked at Laal, kaaka can we hear the recording??
Laal took him to his house which was close to the plantation...
He called Raaghav and told he will bring the boys next day, which he sometimes does..
The parents and babies spoke on a video call and kissed bye for now.
The recording started...
The boys started to hear it and after some time ... They were stunned... shocked...
**************************************************
Is it you???? How dare you????? He was hit on his head, he fainted...
He walked ... The boys ran to him... Uncle please help us... somebody hit Kaaka... please call daddy...
He hugged them, calmed them told he will take kaaka to hospital.
Putting up a concerned look, made the boys sit in his car...
He walked far away so that they cannot hear him
I have the boys with me... he told calmly. I have already waited long. Cannot wait more...
Who are You? Where is Laal ??? where are my sons...
Your sons???.. but they aren't your sons na... he laughed
Shocked...chocked... how is it possible???? who knows it?????
Chakor cried her heart out... I need ... I need my boys...my sons...
He vowed!!! not a scratch on our sons!!! I promise...
