Episode 20
Sanskar followed by laksh and swara entered the office. Neither laksh nor swara dared to talk to him through out their journey. Sanskar ignored the wishes of his employees and staff members. He removed his sky blue color blazer with his right hand as he approached his cabin. He then handed it to swara, his eyes fixed on the person infront him. The arrogant business man is back.
“Good morning sir” the person greeted.
Sanskar didn’t even move a single muscle in his body except that his jaw, Clenched.
” where are papers?” He asked his eyes still fixed on the other one.
“where are contract papers kunal? ” sanskar roared like a lion to which everyone in the floor paled.
” I really don’t appreciate silence kunal, so be a good boy and answer me.” He said while rolling his sleeves up.
” I..I really don’t know sir” kunal answered, but it is barely audiable.
“ahh?” Sanskar shouted at him by placing palm beside his ear.
Kunal flinched ” I don’t know sir” he finally said which is a whisper now.
Sanskar raised his eyebrow and pulled out an envelope from his back pocket. Everyone are curious about the situation.
” do you know what is this?” Sanskar flipped the envelope on his fingers.
Kunal nodded in no totally scared by sanskar.
” I think my employees don’t entertain me beating you” he leaned to kunal’s desk placing his strong muscular hands on it
“so answer my question in words”
” Sanskar ” swara called out his name to calm him but she shut her mouth when be shot a dagger which had a message not to involve. Laksh fisted his hands while glaring kunal still not knowing the reason for his brother’s behaviour.
Sanskar let out a frustrated breath and closed his eyes counting ten and when he opened them, they are blood shot red.
Without uttering other word, he walked past them and reached security room at ground floor.
Everyone greeted him to which he nodded.
” just show me the footage from yesterday night after 9:00pm” be ordered them because the papers were placed in his locker by himself before day and only a few know the code of it.
He fixed his eyes to computer examining the footage but of no use. No one did even come to his cabin except a servant who just passed by. He exhaled helplessly but suddenly, something struck him.
” just rewind ” he ordered them and they obeyed. He smriked devilishly and again reached his floor.
” you are caught red handed kunal, no escape ” sanskar said to kunal loosening his tie. Everyone frowned.
” just open the envelope my boy” he again ordered kunal, this time with lots of humour.
Kunal gasped reading the papers.
“Did he say anything?” Ragini asked her assistant before entering the lock up.
” no mam ” he replied polietly.
She smriked proudly at the person who is lying in the pool of blood. She walked to him and grabbed a stick from one of the cop.
” so stubborn, huh?” She teased him with a beat
” ahh” he screamed in pain.
” will you say now?”
He nodded his head in no which angered ragini. She bet him mercilessly till twenty and then fisted his hair in her hands.
” I will not leave you until you spit the truth.”
” in your dreams” he replied with the same intensity as hers.
She glared him but her lips turned into a sadistic smrik. She let his hair go.
” use second degree” she ordered before stepping out if the cell.
” this is too much ” he yelled behind her which she ignored.
“So, you are the one who attacked me at mall” sanskar stated by taking the dominance.
Kunal sighed ” I am not getting you sir”
“oh” sanskar raised his brow “so, you say that you really don’t know who vansh is but the number he used to call frequently is brought in a sim shop near your house is just a coincidence?”
Kunal smiled sadly ” the sim shop is near my house doesn’t mean that I am responsible for everything” he explained, now confident.
Sanskar narrowed his eyes. Of course he is not going to buy any word of kunal.
” it’s because I fired you and you are seeking a revenge” sanskar spoke after few minutes of silence.
Kunal nodded his head in no. Of course his boss had behaved insane as him but he is not a person to kill someone for revenge.
” okay,I believe that you were not responsible for my attack” kunal’s face lit up with glee “but what about papers?”
” which papers?” Kunal’s innocent question annoyed him.
Sanskar sighed and chuckled at his drama ” it’s over kunal, it’s out. We have CCTV all over my office boy” he sarcastically informed kunal pointing to one of the camera.
Kunal scrunched his face in confusion. Sanskar laughed once again ripping the silence surrounding them. Swara gulped seeing this shade of him. It is too hard to digest.
” do you know where did I go just a few minutes ago?” He questioned humorously yet with serious eyes.
” security room. I checked the foot age and let me make you clear that some part of the footage is manipulated ”
Receiving shocked gasps from the floor, sanskar continued.
“around 12:30 am, one of our servant passed my cabin but” he smriked evily “….you really did a mistake kunal. You must have waited till she left the place. Unfortunately as you were eager, she suddenly missed from the scene without leaving the place completely, so did you get the picture my boy”
Swara opened her mouth wide.
” ten minutes of footage is manipulated and you are an excel in tele communications ”
Kunal stared sanskar with shock.
” ready to accept the truth?” Sanskar asked kunal casually turning to his right but became Alert when he saw singhania coming out of elevator. He immediately rolled of his sleeves and put on his blazer.
” hello Mr. Maheswari” singhania greeted him warmly shaking his hand. Sanskar smiled to him and both of them headed towards conference hall.
Sanskar excused himself and came to swara “I have another copy at my desk. Just bring them” he ordered before leaving.
Ragini smriked at the person after second degree treatment.
“Will you say me now?” She asked him after slapping hard.
” I will, please” he begged and she smiled victouriosly.
Swara came to his cabin and after few minutes of search, she got the papers. She turned off all the lights and is about to leave the room when her mobile beeped. She unlocked the screen and saw a message from private number.
‘ I need those papers swara. Handover them to me.’
Swara widened her eyes in horror but she replied him stubbornly.
‘ that’s none of your business’
With that, she started walking to the board room. Her mobile beeped once again
‘ I think you won’t appreciate if sanskar gets killed by your stubborness’
She wiped the drops of sweat and texted him back. Her fingers trembling all the time.
‘ I am not going to fall in your trap’
Within few seconds, her mobile beeped again.
‘ my men are aiming him from the opposite building dear. Try to listen and give me the papers’
Swara closed her eyes and opened them again with determination. She stepped into the elevator after texting
‘ where should I deliver?’
Swara reached the place mentioned by the person. The area is a desserted one but still it is familiar to her as it is near the MANISON. The roads are very narrow. Her steps stopped when she reached ‘heights’ apartment and looked up noticing that it is a three storey old building. She ascended the stairs and finally knocked the door of flat 302. Her breathing raced as her palms became sweaty. She clutched the papers hard when the door knob turned revealing the person.
” ragini ” she murmurmed in shock. There is no way that ragini can betray sanskar.
Ragini stood infront of her with her head down.
” ragini” swara once again called out her name. Ragini raised her tear filled heavy lashes to swara.
” why are you here?” Swara asked confused after seeing the tears.
Ragini gulped and held her uniform tight on her besides before opening her mouth
” I..I got to know about the person ..who..who attacked..sanskar” she said, her voice completely broken.
” who?” Swara asked shivering.
Ragini took a deep breath and moved back to allow swara to step in. When she did, ragini moved beside revealing the person.
Swara saw someone sitting on old and cheap sofa with his head buried in his hands. His body looked so familiar to her as his scent. The person lifted his head to face her.
” laksh” swara gasped.
