Part 49

IN Akash's room:

Payal is setting the bed when Akash is working in his lappy. They heard a door knock. They saw Shyam standing at the door.

"Can I come in ??"asked Shyam.

"Ofcourse jiju"said Akash.

Shyam came inside the room.

"Akash. I want a favour from you"said Shyam.

"Ha jiju. Say"said Akash.

" I want a job in AR for my sister"said Shyam.

"Sheetal!!"said Akash surprised. Shyam nodded his head.

"Will you give a job for her ??"asked Shyam.

" Don't mind jiju. But you have to ask Bhai about all this. He only takes any decisions'said Akash.

"What ?? why ?? You also have equal share in AR naa. Then why to take Arnav's permission in it."said Shyam little irritated.

"I have but bhai's orders will follow in AR"said Akash.

"But past one and half year you alone handled AR naa with out Arnav"said Shyam.

"Ha jiju. It is different because bhai is not well then. I never tried to take bhai's position in AR. We even locked the bhai's cabin. Because he only have that right. I just looked after it like how king bharatha looked after Ayodhya in the absence of RAM."said Akash.

Shyam got frustrated now. Here he came to make Sheetal enter in AR so that she will be close to Arnav and this Akash teaching him epics. So he said "So you don't have anything in your hands. You are just puppet in his hands. Arnav can make his wife work in office but you can't allow my sister. Did he ask you while joining Khushiji ??"

"Shyamji!!"came a voice from behind.

They looked at the door where Anjali and NK are standing there.

"What are you talking about my chote ??"said Anjali angrily.

"RS. Woo"stammered Shyam.

"I heard everything Shyamji. How can you say something like that about my chote ?? He never treats anyone as puppet or servant. He treats all same. He loves his family but din't show it. Coming to joining Khushiji, he knew what is good for AR "said Anjali.

"RS. I was just asking for a job in AR for Sheetal"said Shyam.

"What job you want Shyamji ?? Sheetal left her studies in the middle. How can they give job in AR ? Even if they give, what if media comes to know about this"said Anjali.

Shyam fuming in anger went from there.

"Di. woo actually........." tried Akash to say something but Anjali cutoff " No need to explain me. I have full trust on my brothers"said Anjali caressing his cheek.

"Di. There are jobs for Sheetal in our office though she din't complete her studies"said NK.

"What is it ??"asked Anjali.

"Peon and watchman"said NK.

Anjali opened her mouth wide and burstout into laugh along with others.

"NK . You are too much"said Anjali and pulled his cheeks.

"Di. Plz don't pull cheeks."said NK.

"Why ?? You din't stop when Khushiji's Buaji is pulling."asked Akash.

"Akash. Seems like Buaji liked NK. That is why she is pulling his cheeks from the evening when ever she gets opportunity"said Anjali

"What the.. You people"said NK.

"That is my chote's line"said Anjali.

NK went from there stamping his foot.

Anjali too bid good night to Akash and Payal, went from there.

Next morning:

IN AR:

Khushi is in her cabin frustrated. She asked to completed the designs by yesterday evening and today to complete showstopper but still they din't even complete the other designs also. She let out her frustration on them and came. Employees looked at her shocked for the first time. They din't saw this side of Khushi. She always have been polite to them..

Khushi's phone beeped with a message when she was working in her lappy. She opened it. it was from her father.

"Khushi beta. Come to my cabin immediately"

Confusing Khushi went to her father's cabin. But Shashi was not there. She waited for a minute and when she was returning Shashi came in.

"Khushi. What are you doing here ??"asked Shashi.

"Papa. You called me to come here naa"said Khushi.

"Me!! When? I was in Akash cabin until now"said Shahsi.

"I got a message from your phone to come to your cabin immediately. So I came"said Khushi.

"I left my phone here itself"said Shashi showing his mobile on the table

"Then who must have send it'said Khushi.

Shashi stood there thinking.

"Papa. I feel something fishy"said Khushi and went towards their cabin followed by Shashi

She checked everything in cabin. It is fine.

Just then an employee entered and asked to give showstopper design.

She nodded her head and looked for the paper which she kept. But it was not there. She checked in surroundings but can't find it.

Khushi said to the person to leave. She will bring it.

Shashi observed the lines of tension on her forehead.

"What happened Khushi ??"asked Shyam.

"Papa. I kept the design paper here. But now I couldn't find out'said Khushi still searching.

"It's ok. The design will be in your laptop. Take print of it. Time is less"said Shashi.

Khushi nodded her head and checked in the laptop. The tension lines are growing more and more.

"Hey devimayya"exclaimed Khushi.

"What happened ??"asked Shashi.

"Papa. Design file is missing."said Khushi fearing.

"What???"asked Shashi shocked

"Ha papa. It is not there. Somebody deleted it"said Khushi.

Then she remembered something and said "Papa. I had a copy of it in my pendrive. It is in designer section. Also there is another paper of it."

Khushi went there followed by Shashi. She went near her locker which is already opened.

"Who opened it ?? I clearly remembered I locked it"said Khushi.

"Ok. Now check in it."said Shashi.

Khushi checked in it for a twice and sat down with a thud on the chair.

"Beta. Is it not there ??'asked Shashi.

"No papa. My pendrive is missing and extra copies of design too "said Khushi.

Shashi din't know what to do.

"What to do papa now ? What if Arnavji comes to know about this ??"said Khushi with full of tears in her eyes.

"Shh. First wipe your tears."said Shashi wiping her tears.

"Come. Let's move to Arnav's cabin"said shahsi. They both went to Arshi's cabin.

Khushi sat on the sofa lost with her thoughts. Her brain stopped working. Shashi called Akash and NK to come immediately.

They both came immediately sensing the seriousness in his voice.

When they entered, Khushi was sitting with extreme nervousness. Shashi is sitting beside her consoling her.

"Khushiji.!!"called Akash.

Khushi and Shashi looked at them.

"What happened ?? Why are you crying ?"asked Akash.

Shashi explained everything about missing of the design file.

Both Akash and NK were shocked to the core hearing this. Both stood numb hearing this.

"What !!! What are you saying Khushiji ? Who can do this ??"asked NK.

"I don't know NKji"said Khushi with tears..

"NK. It is not time to find out who did this. We have to think what we have to do now. "said Akash.

"What to do ?? We will call Nannav. He would have a copy of it"said NK. Akash nodded his head. NK called for Arnav but he is not lifting the call.

He tried for two to three times but Arnav din't answered the call.

"I will try for Aman"said NK and called him.

After talking with Aman, NK said "Nannav is in meeting. It started just now"

"When will the meeting ends ??'asked Shashi.

"He said it will take nearly two hours"said NK.

"What!! Two hours !! Hey devimayya. What will I do now ??"said Khushi crying.
