Part 44 Again a FLOW
"Get the termination order ready... she is fired..." Arnav said furiously. Though he had no intention of terminating her he had no choice. He had to prove himself right here. He could not let the president be disappointed in him or his company. Arnav knew only Sheetal's termination could satisfy the president. So, he decided to do that.
Aman and Akash dragged her out of people's sight.
"I don't know she would be so senseless..." The president said
"This is why I said she overestimates herself, Sir. Nowadays, she doesn't hesitate to degrade people" Arnav said with regret.
"I don't know the reason behind your disappointment towards her. But now, I could understand. You must be right about her. Terminating her is so right because, because of her you will face problems otherwise" the president said adding that as if, he didn't have problems with her.
Arnav nodded yes.
"I'm sorry for whatever happened, sir"
"Yes, no one ever humiliated me like this but I know your respect for me, Arnav. How would you be responsible for the mistake done by the fool woman? However, you fired her..." there was satisfaction on his face.
"Please, come for lunch, sir"
"It's ok, Arnav... I don't have the mood to have lunch"
"Please, don't say like that, Sir. People will think you are upset with me if you leave the office without having lunch"
The president sighed.
"Ok... for you, I will have..."
"Thank you, sir"
Arnav took him to the buffet and made him have lunch, being with him until he finished eating.
On the other side, Aman and Akash were shouting at Sheetal, letting out their disappointment. Sheetal was now silent, confused, scared, and whatnot. She didn't know why she laughed. She could sense she was laughing but she could not stop.
"Have you gone mad?" Akash asked.
"She has gone indeed mad. What doubt in it?" Aman said gritting his teeth.
"Don't you have sense? This is how you behave if anyone falls. How could you?" Akash sneered.
"I will apologize to him..."
"Shut up... after humiliating him, are you going to apologize? You have lost your sense. He is still here only because of ASR. He is one of the main reasons, he is President today. He respects ASR... that's why he agreed to come to our office but you messed it" Aman yelled.
"I don't know what happened to me..." Sheetal said restlessly.
"Stop rubbish... who will believe this?" he asked.
"I will try to make him believe. I'm already in his good book. Didn't he say I'm an energetic PA?"
"You WERE in his good book... just a few minutes ago, you tore the page in which your name had been written and put it in a dustbin," Aman said annoyed.
Sheetal knew he was right. She did not know how to make it right but she had to. Or else, she would be out of not only Arnav's office but also his life. But it would not be a wise decision to talk to the president. She knew about him. He was a respect freak. He wanted to become a president only to get immense respect in the business society. He would never forgive her for disrespecting him in front of people. Her only and last hope was Arnav. If she failed, she would lose him forever.
She waited until the president went from office. She wanted to talk to Arnav. As she didn't expect, Arnav himself came to her cabin. His rage full eyes were enough for her to understand his level of anger.
"How long would you be waiting to pull me down?" He spat out the Fire.
"Arnav, trust me, I didn't even know what happened to me"
"I know what happened to you... You became mad... became Bull headed... became overconfident... that's why you don't mind humiliating people... how dare you laugh at the president? What do you think of yourself? The tag you are holding in your hand is what made you happy... PA of ASR. From here on, you will get to know your real value without the tag."
"Arnav, I agree I have done a blander... give me some time. I will coax the president..."
"Still, do you have an idea to go in front of him? How dare you..."
"Because I have no choice. I know you won't forgive me..."
"Definitely not.."
"Don't forget, you won't get a PA like me"
"Yes, I won't get a PA like you but a better one"
"Oh, really? will you get a better BA than me?"
"Yes, and you don't have to bother about my PA anymore. You just get...out..."
"You will regret..."
"Already I am... for giving you space"
"Arnav..." She took a step towards him.
Arnav moved back keeping the distance from her. Sheetal was disappointed.
"Is this what your gratitude is? Do you forget my hard work?" She tried to use the lost trump card called sympathy.
But it didn't work on Arnav.
"You would have spoilt the entire hard work of the AR crew with your bloody laugh"
Arnav walked out not wanting to stretch the discussion, leaving agitated Sheetal.
After that, no one dared to near Arnav as he looked tense throughout the day.
RM
Ratna came back to RM and stopped seeing Motilal showing Mangal sutra to Khushi and Nani.
"Is it ok? Do you like it?" Nani asked.
Khushi nodded yes.
"Khushi... You are nodding your head for everything..." She smiled.
"I will accept whatever you choose, Naniji"
Nani leaned toward her and asked,
"Where is your mother-in-law?"
"I don't know where she went, Naniji"
"I'm here only," Ratna said making Khushi look behind.
Nani undersood her gesture and raised her brows. Khushi nodded yes.
"Ask her to choose," Nani said.
Ratna looked for a good design. She found one. She came behind Motilal and tapped his head. He turned behind, caressing his head, and didn't find anyone. Khushi controlled her laughter folding her lips, seeing that.
In that small gap, Ratna picked a Mangal sutra she liked and stuffed it in Khushi's hand. Khushi's eyes widened, seeing its cost. She nodded no hurriedly.
"Why?"
"It's three lakhs..."
"So what? What will my son do with his untouched huge bank balance? Just spend it"
Taking it from her hand, Nani gave it to Motilal.
"Send this bill to Arnav"
Motilal nodded ok grinning ear to ear. He gave the Mangal Sutra to Nani. Without taking it from him,
"Khushi bitiya, take it from him and keep it in the pooja room," Nani said.
Khushi nodded ok and went to the pooja room with the manual sutra. Khushi gestured to Ratna to come with her. Ratna came to the pooja room.
"Yes, my dear daughter-in-law?"
Khushi kept it in the pooja room and touched Ratna's feet. That brought a smile to Ratna's face.
"Live long happily with Chotte"
"Today also did you go to AR?" Khushi asked.
"Yes..."
"You said you have some work with the bottle today..."
"I have done"
"What did you do?"
"It was so fun"
"Really?"
"Yes..."
Ratna said what happened in AR. Khushi was shocked to the core.
"Did you use Nitrous Oxide to make her laugh?"
"Yes, Chotte told her, get out..."
"But, what if the President got angry with Arnavji? Is not it about his respect and the future of his company?" Khushi asked anxiously.
"What do you think of me? Do I let my son's respect go down?"
Khushi was silent.
"Yesterday, I was in AR for the whole day. I heard the staff talking a lot about the President and his visit. That was when I got to know the respect he has for Chotte. I made sure, just because a stupid woman laughed at him, he won't rise his finger at Chotte because Chotte was the one who helped him to win in the presidential election"
"Is it necessary to send her out of the office?"
"It is... Undoubtedly, necessary... She is a venomous snake who should not be near Chotte. She tries to become Mrs. ASR. To do that, she will do anything"
Khushi looked at her shrinking.
"Don't show concern for her if she comes here. You should let her know how strong you are" Ratna warned.
"Will she come here?"
Ratna nodded yes. Khushi became thoughtful.
"Don't know why Chotte is late" Ratna says worriedly.
"Why do you worry? Arnavji will come after finishing his work"
Ratna sighed in relief.
"What happened?"
"I checked if you say anything in flow. Thank God, you said nothing. I will be relaxing now"
"Why?"
"Have you forgotten what the Pandit said? Chotte's life is in danger until your wedding. Till then, I want him to be safe. If you say anything negative, I will go to him and will safeguard him"
"Oh... This is why are you going to AR every day?"
She nodded yes.
"Don't worry. Arnavji will be safe"
Ratna's face brightened. Khushi was supposed to say something, but she stopped seeing Lavanya coming.
"Khushi, I talked with my beautician. She will come on Saturday evening. Make yourself free"
A trace of disturbance spread on Khushi's face.
"I don't think I will do, it," she said in a flow, making Lavanya confused and Ratna alert.
