CHAPTER 25

Fear is a feeling that we all want to be vary off that one emotion and we would like to stay away from it for our own peace of mind. So what we do when our fear is that rule us the most of the time walk with us like a shadow. So even if we try to hide from it how can we leave our shadow that walks with us all the time. Some fear are so engraved into our soul that even if we portray to be strong and unaffected by it and fool others by the mask with which we hide our fear but we know the truth, feel it every moment in every pore of our being. So it’s not what we make other believe but what we believe and how we conquer that feeling that can leave us open and venerable to the world that will not leave a chance to make us weak and hurt over and over again where it hurts the most.

ASR had landed to the place where his meeting was to be and Aman was telling him all the details which he was hearing with apt attention as for him his work was his breath and he can never neglect it. It’s only his work that helped him to live again, he always thrived for the best and some may thing he was heartless and a monster who had no mercy for others but the only question he has will someone else let go this opportunity if they were in his place her worked hard and got what was his and why should he leave his success when he can gain it and for which he had worked hard. He had over taken a lot of companies but he had always done it with his heard work he would learn their weakness and exploit it for his gain and he had learned that from the world what he was giving them back.

As soon as he entered the meeting room everyone got up to greet him and as usual he ignoring it all sat in his chair and the meeting started. This too was a takeover of a company and they were here to finalize the deal and then there will be a press conference to declare the takeover as there were many speculations about it. After the presentation given by Aman and every detail of the deal was thoroughly discussed the deal was signed and The Kapoor & Jindal chain of hotels were now included in Raizada group of industries. 

The meeting was soon concluded and it was decided that Aman will evaluate all the employee and then it will be decided who will stay and whom they will let go. The CEO of the Kapoor & Jindal group Mr. Jindal walked to Aman and said Mr. Aman we would be obliged if you and ASR can join us for dinner tonight.

Aman smiled at him politely and said let me check with ASR and walked toward ASR who was talking to some associate and turned when he felt a tap on his shoulder and looked at Aman with a raised eyebrow. Aman looked at him and said Sir Mr. Jindal had invited us for dinner tonight and waited for his answer. ASR smirked at Aman and said confirm it and walked away. 

Aman looked at his boss and knew something was cooking in his mind and whenever he was so cool it rang a warning bell in his head but he will just sit back and see it unfold as ASR had his way to deal with things and he knows that whenever ASR has something in his mind he will surely do it.

ASR walked away from the meeting room and Aman too followed him. The moment they were in the elevator Aman said ASR you want to go to dinner with Mr. Jindal are you sure. ASR looked at him and said I like to make people who think they are smart than me and can fool me with their sweet talk then they need to be shown that who is the boss and with that he got busy in his phone. 

Aman looked at his boss and said Sir I had been in contact with Rathods they will leave tomorrow early in the morning and all he got was hmm from ASR. Aman looked at him and said you lunch is already in you room. ASR without a word walked toward his room still busy in his phone. After entering his room he freshen up and took his dinner without a word and then started his laptop and got busy in his work.

At evening his room door was knocked and a man walked in with a trolley and said Sir your coffee and kept it next to him on the side table and left the room. ASR took the coffee mug and sipped it and continued with his work after few minutes there was another knock and Aman walked in after he said come in. Aman walked in to the room and said Sir the work you have told me is done. 

ASR looked at him and said fine and then talked about other work and Aman looked his boss and said are you sure we are gone join Mr Jindal for dinner. ASR just looked at him that shut him up and he left after saying that he will come back after sometime and they can leave for the dinner with Mr. Jindal and left the room.

ASR looked at Aman’s retreating back and smirked he thinking what he will do today will make him shock but he never cared about what other thought about him and the people who try to mess with him have to know what he does with his enemies. He has all the information he needs some of them were highly confidential even Aman had no idea about it. He never likes to tell everything that’s going on his mind. Something are better hidden till the right time comes. 

He again got engrossed in his work and when Aman walked back in his room did he realized they had to leave for dinner and he got up and said Aman to wait for him he will join him in few minutes and exactly after 45 minutes he was back and dressed in his articulate three piece suit and was looking deadly handsome. Aman looked at his boos who was ready to leave and even if they were an hour late and he had got call from Mr. Jindal a few times he knew that it won’t matter to his boss so he kept quiet. 

But instead of leaving his boss walked toward the bar and made himself a drink and sipped it taking his own time and Aman looked at his boss waiting for his order about when can they leave and after 15 minutes when he had completed his drink he looked at Aman and said lets go. So now they were in the elevator that was moving down and after getting out of it ASR walked toward the restaurant in which Mr.Jindal was waiting for them. Aman was following his boss when he saw Mr. Jindal sitting on the table that was reserved for them and with him was a girl in her early twenties.

ASR walked toward them and without a word to the seat that was empty and gestured Aman who was standing to sit. Aman was sitting next to the girl while ASR was sitting next to Mr.Jindal. Before Jindal could say anything ASR said Aman order and Aman as usual ordered for his boss. Mr. Jindal who looked at the man who was showing him so much attitude just because he had the major shareholder of his company, but he knew it was not the time to burst in anger but to use it for his benefit. Mr. Jindal looked at ASR and said it’s a pleasure to meet you and this turning to the girl is Pia my secretary. 

ASR looked at him and not even bothered to look at the girl he introduced and without a word gestured Aman who got what his boss wants and Aman said Mr. Jindal will you elaborate why you invited us for dinner. Jindal looked at Aman and then at ASR and said I know you have over taken my company as all the shares of Kapoor’s are under your control but still I have my shares and I would like to remain the CEO of the company it will benefit us both as I have run the company for a long and know everything about it.

Aman looked at ASR but there was no reaction and before he could say anything waiter came with their food and without saying a word ASR started his dinner. But his blood was boiling and his grip on the cutlery that he was holding in his hand was too tight and Aman who had known him for long had seen the sign of him being infuriated and soon he will burst. 

ASR looked at the girl sitting opposite to him giving him seductive look and what angered him more was she was roaming her leg on his leg and creasing his tights and trying to move it up and down and giving him that clear view of cleavage that was peeking out of her dress. Before the girl could reach higher ASR stopped eating and to the fork he was holding and within a blink of an eye he had poked it into the girls leg and that had made her shriek and pull her leg away to check if she was hurt luckily it was just a scratch and she was not hurt badly and there was no blood.

ASR looked at the girl and said if you think that this cheap tricks will help your boss that he has no idea with this what had he called upon himself and turned to Jindal and said with his deadly eyes and said you think that I don’t know about the fraud you did in the company and money you took from company account to spend it on you mistress and looked at Pia and you thought that your mistress can seduce me and you can bargain with me than wrong move. 

He looked at Aman and said release all the details we have about Jindal to the press after tomorrows press conference and any ways Kapoor’s are with us and looked at Jindal and said about the 30 % shares you have it will be enough to clear all the amount you had embezzled from the company account and the rest I will make sure that when your wife knows about your so called mistress she lefts nothing for you and leaned toward Jindal and said you made the wrong move and I don’t leave those who touch me without my permission. He turned toward Aman and said deal with it. Aman nodded and saw ASR walking away. Soon Jindal and his mistress was handed over to the police and said it to keep it in rap it tomorrow and after everything was settled Aman too had walked toward his room and soon slept off.

ASR entered his room and walked straight toward the washroom stripped himself to cool down under the water but his anger would rise every time the thought of what that girl was about to do made him mad after an hour his anger was cooled down and he walked out of the room and changed and hit the bed but todays incident had opened a door he would love to remain close and soon his mind made him enter those dreadful memories he would love to run away from. He was tossing on his bed as if trying to ward off those memories that were engulfing him like a storm.

A boy who was 11 year old had come back home from his boarding as it was his summer vacation and as he entered the house it was empty he asked one of the servants who said that no one was at home. He masked the hurt he felt that even after letting his parent’s know none were at home to receive him he walked toward his room changed and waited for his parents to come and when he heard a shriek of a car an idea popped up in his little brain and he ran to the room upstairs and hid himself in the cupboard silently peeking out of the slightly open door and waited to surprise ponce on his parents.

Soon a women walked into the room and after he a man followed and what he saw after that made the eleven year old shrink and be scared of what was going on in front of his innocent yes. The women was moaning and groaning and commanding the man to do it the way she wanted and after fulfilling her lust she got up from the bed in all her naked glory and walked toward the cupboard and the moment she opened it, she was shocked to see the boy in the cupboard who had closed his eyes but it was clear he was still crying. She looked at the boy but took the bathroom robe beside him and wore it still looking angry at the boy.

Before the boy could realize he was pulled out of the cupboard by a harsh grip and then pushed to the floor. The boy opened his eyes and before he could say anything the man who had seen this walked toward her and said who is this darling the women looked at him and said stay in your limit and don’t poke your nose where it doesn’t belongs. Man looked at her and then at the boy but without a word walked back to the bed and sat on it leaning his head on headrest.

Boy looked at the women and then at the man and said Ma why is that man in your and Papa’s room the women looked at the boy and said without even thinking that what she is doing to the fragile heart of her child and said he is giving me that your father can’t and how dare you sneak on us. Arnav looked at her and said I will complaint to Papa about you and was about to go when Mrs. Shalini Raizada pulled him back and said if anything and I mean anything comes out of your mouth I will make sure that you Nani will suffer and saw the fear in his eyes she knew that her son cared a lot about his Nani. Arnav looked at her and nodded his head and heard her say from now on you will guard the door and let me know when your father or anyone else comes toward the room you will divert them and before that you will give me a missed call and shoved a phone in his hand and so a fragile heart was brutally destroyed for the first time by its own cruel mother and the poor soul had to guard this secret of his mother for safety of his Nani. He would cringe every time his mother would walk home with a new guy and he would guard the door. He would wait for his father every moment wishing he would come back but he was busy in his business and he didn’t even bothered to call him or talk to him when he called, returning the call was a far-fetched idea. He was on a month long vacation that marked the beginning of a person who would be as heartless as the people once he loved had been to him.

ASR woke up with a jerk and he was sweating badly and his fuzzy mind could not make sense to anything and after few minutes he was normal and he face palmed himself and got up from the bed and moved toward the bar whenever he had a nightmare that was a part of his reality he would drink himself to sleep and today to he was doing that. He was drinking his drink one after another when he saw his mobile light blinking indicating a message he took it up and saw and then just kept on blinking his eyes and then read the message loud “Good Night Arnavji”. He kept his glass and walked toward the bed still holding his mobile and jumped on it and holding a pillow in one hand and mobile in other still looking at the message he drifted off to sleep.

Next morning he got up and looked at the mobile still in his hand and kept it on the side table and soon got ready for the press conference and then Aman walked in with the waiter and said Sir your breakfast is here and I’m waiting out for you and walked out of the room after informing him and saying the waiter to arrange the breakfast on the table. After they did their breakfast they walked toward the conference hall and it was made public that K & J group of companies were now a part of Raizada and also the media was given details about Jindal and his fraud. Soon the news had spread like wild fire and Aman had informed ASR that he had made sure that Jindal will be on road and his wife had already kicked him out and also filled a domestic violence case on him as it is she had said he had hit her whenever she questioned him and then his mistress also gave a statement against him. ASR just nodded his head and at that moment his mobile blinked and he checked the messages and one of them was from his wife who had messaged that she was leaving for Dehradun and will be back in two days and also a message about the marks she obtained and whether he had his food but all he typed to her is ok. This simple of her would mark the beginning of their twisted journey.
