Part
77
Khushi
and Ranjan were in ASR’s cabin waiting for him.
He came from his client meeting and looked at the duo questioningly.
“Here
is a report Sir!” Ranjan placed an 85 page report on the vendor/contractor
payment status logically divided into underpayment, excess payment, advance
payment and delayed payment to vendors and contractor. All the discrepancies were highlighted and
the probable or stated causes were mentioned.
ASR scanned through the document and nodded appreciatively.
“This
is tabulated and our observations are mentioned. Please go through and let us know!” Ranjan
looked at Khushi and she nodded. ASR
stared at both of them.
“Ok!
I will look into it!” he said calmly
“Mr.
Ranjan, you may take a compensatory off for working on holiday!” He looked at
Khushi, smirking. She frowned.
. “You may go!” They both went out.
“Ms
Gupta, finally we have completed the work..!” Ranjan was happy to have finished
herculean task. Khushi smiled at him.
“Thank
you sir, you have been a great help. I
wouldn’t have completed the task in time!” she said genuinely. He smiled.
“You
know? We actually finished it in record time.
A day before the deadline!” He pointed out holding out his hand. She shook his hand happily.
“Umm..
Would you mind coffee with me in the evening?” he gathered courage to ask
her. She nodded. His face lit up and he went away.
“KHUSHI..!
His voice bellowed.
“Chalo
Khushi, Hooter bajj gaya!” Khushi got up from her seat and climbed up the
stairs.
“Why
were you late in the morning?” he asked sternly. She was blank and then remembered. She had reached Raizada house in time in the
morning. The moment she kept her foot in
the house, she remembered. “I don’t want
this girl in my house….!” She stopped, looked around. The breeze told her, he was around. She turned her back and dashed out of the
house.
Lavanya’s
phone rang. “Hello Lavanya ji, I am
here, but since sir is there in the house, I can’t come in. You come out in the garden and we will
continue!” she said in a hushed voice.
Their training session started in the garden.
“Answer
me!” he yelled. She came back to her
senses.
“We
had an outdoor training, today sir!” she looked up at him straight. She again had proved him wrong.

“Saale
Saab! What is it that’s bothering you?” Sham was concerned. Arnav looked at his Jijaji.
“Nothing,
Jijaji… !” He avoided him.
“Saale
Saab, if you don’t want to share, it’s ok! But I know for sure that something
is seriously wrong!” Sham sat next to him on the chair at pool side.
“We
have hit a dead-end!” Finally Arnav opened out.
Sham waited for him to speak up.
“But
I will find out who the real culprit is!” he clenched his fists.
“How?”
asked Sham. Arnav stared unfocused and
said.
“I
am only waiting for the right opportunity, Jijaji! And then I will settle the
scores..!” he still was vague. Sham
licked his lips with a smirk.
“Saale
Saab, tell me, if I can be of any help.
May be as a third person, I will be able to throw some light on the
problem..!” Sham said in a soothing voice.
“It’s
not your field, Jijaji. The matter is complicated. I do not know who is behind all this !” Arnav
seemed to be losing it.
“With
death of Prashant, everything collapsed.
I have a strong feeling, he was made a scapegoat!” Sham winced at the
revelation.
“Need
not be! May be, he was the real culprit..!” Sham said and then trying to cover
up went further,
“I
mean, Saale Saab! We should look at the problem from all possible angles..!”
Arnav stared at him and then suddenly getting up said,
“You
are right, Jijaji.. Thank you! This episode has another dimension…!” he turned
leaving Sham shocked and confused.
“What
does he mean? I should find out!” Sham followed Arnav.
“Saale
Saab, do you want me to help you? I will work from outside to solve the riddle
and you work from inside..!” Arnav stopped and turned to face his Jijaji.
“Will
you?” he asked. “Yes, Saale Saab! Why
not?” Sham came forward and kept his hand on Arnav’s shoulder. They both came back to pool side.
“I
have a plan” said Sham. Arnav looked on.
“I
know Prashant’s family! I will ask his wife and father discreetly about his
financial affairs. Then maybe we get
some clue…!” Arnav looked at his Jijaji and nodded.
“Thank
you!” he said genuinely. Sham
smiled. Slowly his saale saab had
started relying on him for taking decisions.
“Bhai!”
Aakash came in with a file.
“Ok! We will talk about it later!” Arnav
looked at his Jijaji. Sham understood
and went away smirking. Now everything
was under his control.
“Bhai…
Very detailed report. The embezzlement
is beyond our imagination!” Aakash looked shaken.
“Yeah!”
Arnav knew the magnitude very well. It
was not only the inventory and warehousing problem, there were problems in
suppliers and vendors payment too. Quite
a number of good quality suppliers had discontinued with AR group.
“What
are we going to do, Bhai?” Aakash looked hopeless.
“I
know what to do! I will handle it!” ASR would never disclose his plans to
anyone. Aakash looked relax. “I know bhai, you will handle it!” he had
full faith on his bhai’s ability.
“Aakash,
keep the file here and don’t disclose the numbers to anyone!” he warned his
brother. Aakash nodded and left. Arnav took the report file prepared by Ranjan
and Khushi and went into his room. He
took out another file from his bag and smiled.
He opened both and scanned at the highlights.
He
always had a strategy to assign crucial
task to two people independently. He had
assigned the task to tabulate vendor/supplier payment details to an independent
auditor and also to Ranjan and Khushi.
Smile appeared on his face when he realized, these two have done the job
beyond expectation. Ranjan’s report was
detailed, with inferences drawing his attention to some of the unanswered queries
on irregularity in payments ..! Whereas the auditor’s report had merely
tabulated the vendor/supplier.
“Good
Job!” he smiled.
He
picked up his phone and dialed Mishra’s number.
He talked to him for a long time and then disconnected with a satisfying
look. Prashant’s case too was assigned
to two people. His Jijaji and Mishra
ji!! Failure was not an option here
too!!

“Hey,
good news!” Ranjan came up with Mithai box during lunch time. Everyone looked at him.
“I
am promoted. I am treasury head, now!”
he smiled broadly. The table erupted in
clapping.
“Ms
Gupta.. special thanks to you!” he held out his hand. Rekha raised her eyebrows grinning.
“I
mean, that report sealed my promotion!” he said excitedly. Khushi grinned at him. The celebration reached its peak.
“Umm
Ms Gupta, would you like to have lunch with me, this Sunday?” Finally he asked
after much hesitation. He remembered
their coffee date. He had asked her and
she had agreed. But in the evening when
he went to ask her where she would like to go, she had said “Company
cafeteria!” He was utterly disappointed but had never given up.
“I
want to take you out somewhere, not in this canteen!” he said with
apprehension.
“Umm,
Ranjan Sir! I don’t know what my family has planned for Sunday. But I will ask and let you know!” she said
politely and Ranjan nodded.
Some
workers walked in with measuring tapes and material.
“What?”
Khushi looked at Rekha.
“I
don’t know what plans ASR has this year.
But I think, it is going to be a grand one!” Rekha said looking at the
people.
“What
plan?” Khushi asked loudly.
“Its
foundation day, next week!” Rekha said grinning.
“What
foundation day?” Khushi declared her stupidity.
“The
day when this company started, umm…
around five.. no six years back! Its company’s birthday, Khushi!” Rekha said
excitedly. Khushi looked around with
gaping mouth.
“ASR
arranges everything! Not a single employee is involved. He makes us feel like VIPs in this company;
though he will be busy with the guests..!” Rekha remembering the last few years
celebration. Khushi again was puzzled
about the Monster.
“Close
your mouth, Khushi! You will see the celebrations!” Rekha said. The party mood was in the air.

“Di,
I will be out on business tour!” ASR was set to go. He never told where he was going.
“Ok,
Chote!” Anjali nodded. “Take care, Di!
Don’t exert yourself!” he said in a concerned tone. She smiled.
“Don’t
worry, Chote!” he caresses his cheek. He
took a step back. He turned
gravely.
“Chote..
Are you ok?” she asked holding his hand.
He turned and nodded. She gazed
at his face.
“What
happened?” She asked.
“Nothing,
Di.. Its just..!” his eyes were moist.
“Mumma
ki yaad aa rahi hain?” She asked in a whisper and next moment his head was on
her shoulder. She stroked his head with
tears in her eyes too.
“Where
are you going?” she asked and he took a step back. “Business tour!” he said.
“Hmm!”
she sighed. “But Chote, its foundation
day next week!” she reminded him.
“I
know, Di! I will come back!” he said seriously.
