"Did Vikram Adhitya, (CEO of Vikram group of companies) is in love with popular actor's daughter, Rakshita? Did they plan to get married secretly?" the headlines news in the famous newspaper which was read by Vikram's Personal assistant Shiva. He was around mid-thirty, took the newspaper and rushed towards Vikram Adhitya's room.
Vikram was standing in the corner of the room with the phone pressed in his ear. He was ordering someone to do something. Shiva was standing patiently looking at Vikram.
Vikram turned to look at Shiva casually. Vikram was about twenty-eight age looks adorably handsome with coat suit, approximately six feet height, fair texture, a black cooling glass hiding his eyes, totally he was a heroic figure.
"Sir....," Shiva's reluctant voice is audible clearly.
"What?" Vikram asked while placing his glance over the newspaper in Shiva's hand.
"Sir......There is rumour news connecting you with Rakshitha madam," he said slowly. Vikram received the newspaper angrily and he stared at the black printed letters.
"Who is the damit responsible for it? Call the manager (News printing office)? Did this coward people forget that I hate this kind of news? Let me show who am I?" He said annoyingly.
"Ok sir," nodded Shiva and he called the respected news printing Manager.
'A year ago, the same kind of rumour news connecting Vikram with a business woman was roamed. Vikram filed a case against the particular television channel and finally, the channel paid huge money as a penalty. Vikram never leaves such kind of news so easily but he never bothers about any other kind of news so the medias usually scared to publish even gratitude news regarding Vikram. This is how the media acts but how did this news come out? It is really shocking...' Shiva's mind voice.
"Good morning, Suriyan News," a lady's voice from the other side.
"I am calling from Vikram Adhitya group of companies. I need to talk to your manager," said Shiva.
"Wait a minute, sir," said her from the other side.
Within a few minutes, The manager replied without even hearing the matter, "Sir, the news has been published mistakenly. I apologize for being careless. Vikram sir should kindly accept it and we expected him to shower mercy," Shiva switched to the loudspeaker so that Vikram could hear it.
Vikram gestured his eyes and understanding his non-verbal communication Shiva replied, "Your company would get sealed within next few minutes,"
"Sir, it is the mistake of the newly joined woman in our company. It is not right to punish everyone who was working here. Please sir don't beat in our stomach. What should you expect me to do now? let me ask her to come to your office for making a strong apology or let me fire her?" Said the manager without giving chance to speak from other side expecting the last chance.
Shiva looked at Vikram and after understanding his wish, Shiva replied, "Send her to our office," Shiva ended the call at once.
**********
The manager sighed in a bit relaxation after ending the call. He made a discussion with the office members and finally came to the conclusion to send Ahana to Vikram's company.
Ahana joined the company before two months. She is in the news editing section but she neither knows about the news nor edited it. The person who was responsible for it escaped smartly and blamed Ahana. As Ahana was new to the office, no one was ready to support her except her best friend Jaya. To save the company from Vikram, the manager compelled Ahana to go Vikram Adhitya group of companies...Then knowing her family situation he blackmailed, "If you wish to continue this job then meet Vikram sir and get back the positive response from him,"
"Sir, I didn't do any mistakes," said Ahana hopefully.
"Go and convince Vikram sir. Don't again do any blender mistakes there too then I would cancel the salary of the next two months," the manager rebuked. she is hearing everything patiently thinking about her sister's education and her mother. Her father passed away before six months due to heart attack. After his death, all the family burden fell in Ahana's head but she never feels heavy for carrying her family. She just crossed 25 age.
Thinking about her family she said, "ok" then she stepped towards her cabin. Seeing her moisten eyes, Jaya came close to her.
"Ahana! What happened?" asked Jaya caringly. Jaya was her close friend from school days itself. Jaya helped Ahana for getting this job before two months.
Ahana wiped away the falling tears, she lifted her mobile phone into her bag and said, "Is being poor a sin? The manager wants me to meet that Vikram for acknowledging the apology,"
Thinking for a minute, Jaya replied, "Don't worry dear. You should be careful with Vikram because last year the same incident happened and that particular staff resigned the job due to some pressure," said Jaya that makes Ahana in worries.
"Ok dear, Take care," said Ahana. Then, she took her bag and left the place.
*********
In a short while, Ahana reached Vikram Aditya group of Companies. The company had a spectacular view from outside. There were trees around the company and there was no shortage of natural air. The entrance of the company was adorned with beautiful flowers. The beauty of that company is the pillars that stand in front of it. On its north side, there were many luxury cars parked.
Although the trees are around, this summer has not forgotten to show its nature. Kalpana walked a short distance and reached the entrance of the company. The Watchman received the entry Signature and sent her inside. She took long steps to reach the receptionist and inquired for permission to meet Vikram Aditya.
"Meeting! related to what?" The receptionist asked holding a small smile in her lips.
Ahana replied shortly regarding the incident.
"Oh! Is that an apology?" She asked.
Ahana nodded her head slowly.
"Hold on, madam," she replied. Then she phoned Shiva to book the visiting time of Vikram Aditya.
"Madam, sir is in the meeting. You can wait in front of his cabin. It is on the first floor," she pointed the direction to Ahana.
"Well, thank you," she began to walk, she saw a lift coming down and stood nearby. She entered in and noticed Vikram Aditya's name through the glass of the lift. She landed on the spot. Then, She sat in the chair in front of the room.
The employees moved here and there often holding a file. She looked at the time often. As time passes, the day seemed to be horrible. She got nervous whenever someone opened his room.
In a short while, The door was opened after the meeting. Siva came out and looked at Ahana who had a serious glance at him.
"Sir will meet you after the lunch," informed Shiva and flew inside the room.
Ahana sighed and she felt hunger too. She felt bored to sit idle in the same place. She didn't even move an inch thinking what if she missed the chance of meeting him.
Meanwhile, her phone rang. She picked up the phone, "What happened Ahana? Did you meet Vikram sir?" asked her Manager from the other side.
"I didn't sir," she replied gently
"Okay. Meet him and make the situation smooth or else forget about the job," he admonished.
'What a human being is he!!! He doesn't even bother other's situation' her mind voice.
She looked at the door often. Due to hunger, she continued to drink water from time to time. The clock shifts to three o'clock and the cool natural air makes her eyes shut often.
Sometimes later, She was awakened by the noise of the employees. Now the tension in her is shifted to anger mode.
The time is 4 pm.
'Vikram Adhitya!!!!! Unsympathetic fellow....Really I hate!!!! Let me go home by quitting this Job. I can't wait more for this heartless fellow.....I was patiently looking forward only for Jaya who recommended the job for me," Ahana's Mindvoice.
A few minutes later,
"Mam, come in," Siva called out. Immediately, she lifted her bag and moved. Her chest was struck. A feeling as if the throat was clogged. She logged in without showing it off.
Ahana stood in front of Vikram Adhitya who was seated leisurely. Shiva stood a few steps behind Ahana. Vikram snatched the black cooling glass from his eyes and placed it in his head. Without hearing anything, "You are fired from your company," said Vikram straightly looking at her.....
