Romance Shrishti's Vritti

[Funlover]

Part - 8



Is it possible that the boss calls and the colleague does not go? Everyone entered the room one by one. Last of all, Shrishti entered the room. Despite not wanting to, Raghav's gaze once again got stuck on Shrishti's innocent, blooming face and the smile on her lips.



With his gaze fixed, Raghav was busy looking at Shrishti and Shrishti had just moved a few steps inside when suddenly she realized that her boss was staring at her.



As soon as she realized, Shrishti's cheeks turned red with shame and she lowered her gaze while smiling softly. And she started fixing her clothes to see if there was any mistake. And this is the natural nature of every woman. She arranged her clothes properly and moved ahead! On the other hand, a smile automatically appeared on Raghav's lips too.



Whether anyone else noticed this behaviour of both of them or not, it could not escape Sakshi's gaze.



Seeing Raghav smiling while staring at the door, Sakshi also turned her gaze towards him. There, Shrishti, smiling shyly, came in Sakshi's sight. Seeing this, she said to herself... so this is the matter. Shrishti turned out to be very smart, it has been only a few days since she has come and see how she is locking eyes with Sir. I am the only one who has been trying for so long and Sir just does not melt! This Shrishti is ahead of me and seems to be quite experienced in this matter.



Perhaps Sakshi could not digest the clash of eyes of both of them, so she pushed the flower pot kept on the table and made it fall down.



As soon as the sound of breaking of flower pot touched his ears, Raghav's trance broke and he stuttered and said... what broke?



"It is a flower pot that broke but it seems that something else has broken." Here the voice was of Sakshi. There was a sarcasm mixed in her words.



It doesn't matter, it had to break sometime or the other so it broke today. (Then he said looking ahead) Hey Shrishti ji why are you standing there, come forward.



As soon as Raghav's voice touched his ears, Shrishti's lowered eyes looked up and once again their eyes met. With a faint smile on her lips, she came and stood near the table after taking a few steps.



Raghav's eyes were fixed on Shrishti till now. As soon as he came close to Shrishti, Raghav said... Shrishti ji, you are doing your work responsibly, aren't you? (Then he addressed Sakshi and said) Sakshi, please give us the details of her work so that we can know whether Shrishti ji is working responsibly or is she just passing the time by chatting.



Raghav's words hurt Shrishti. The effect of this was that the smile on her lips vanished and her blooming face became dull.



Here, even Sakshi's face turned pale! What should she say?? Raghav sir bowled such a ball which was enough to make her sweat! Sakshi was not able to reply. After all, what could she say, she was the one who had filled her ears against Shrishti. Now she had to sing praises of Shrishti with the same mouth which she was not able to do. That's why Sakshi remained silent but one of the other colleagues said... Sir, it would be wrong to just say responsibility, rather Shrishti ma'am is working very responsibly. She has a different kind of passion and enthusiasm for her work. When Shrishti ma'am works, she is completely focused on her work. Sir, I am impressed by her.



"Sir, I should not say this because it raises questions on our credibility. But there is no harm in telling the truth. Shrishti ma'am's ability is incomparable. The project which we were not able to complete, in just a few days, because of Shrishti ma'am, that project was on the verge of completion." These words were of another colleague.



Praise from colleagues, which Shrishti had hardly expected because of the way they had treated her on the very first day. After that, it was futile to expect praise from them, but today they broke this illusion of Shrishti. Due to which Shrishti's dejected face blossomed again.



Even Sakshi did not expect that her colleagues who had been working with her for a long time would become her admirers after working with her for just a few days and would praise her in front of the boss but they said what was the truth. And she could not do anything about it! Now her scales were on both sides, if she spoke against Shrushti then she would be proved wrong and whatever she had done in the past was now being proved wrong, the other scale was also not in her favor! Her condition was such that if you cut her, no blood would come out, as if she had frozen!



On hearing this Raghav said... Shrushti ji, you have proved my protest wrong. You have proved that I have not shot myself in the foot by giving you the job. (Then speaking to Sakshi) Sakshi, I had asked you for Shrushti ji's report card. You did not say anything but your other colleagues said it. I think you will also have to say the same thing. Am I right?



Raghav sir dropped a big bomb in front of Sakshi. Now Sakshi had no choice but to say yes. That's why only yes came out of her mouth, which means that Sakshi's yes did not come from her heart. Rather, after hearing Shrishti's praises from colleagues, Sakshi developed hatred towards Shrishti.



After hearing yes from Sakshi, Raghav said... It's good that the project is on the verge of completion. Shrishti ji, do you have any idea how many more days it will take? Or can you tell me?



Shrishti… Sir it will take three to four more days.



"Yes Sir it will take that many more days." Suddenly one of the colleagues said to which Raghav replied… ok. Finish that project then all of you will get gifts from me and I have a special gift for Shrishti ji. (Then he said to Sakshi) What do you say, should Shrishti ji get a special gift or not?



Sakshi was not liking Sakshi being dragged into every issue. In her mind she was hugging both Shrishti and Raghav sir, inside Sakshi was boiling with anger, she was boiling but the irony was that she was not able to show it openly. It was not right for Sakshi to get angry like this because Sakshi was aware of the truth. Shrishti had done a praiseworthy work. Well, Sakshi could not say anything but Shrishti could not stop herself from speaking... Sir, I felt good to know that you have told me about your special gift but I feel that the special gift should go to Sakshi mam because she is the project head and all the credit for the completion of the project should go to Sakshi mam. All this has been possible only because of her thoughts, experience and suggestions (she was also clever and knew how to use her intelligence well).



These words of Shrishti impressed everyone including Raghav. For a moment, it gave a pleasant feeling to Sakshi's ears but the very next moment Sakshi became as before because she felt that Shrishti is doing her a favour by advocating for her. Which was not expected from a junior.



On hearing Shrishti's words, Raghav smiled and then said in a calm tone... Shrishti ji, I appreciate your thinking because nowadays people wait to take credit even without doing anything and I have done work worthy of getting credit, so being the boss of all of you, I have the right to take the decision. Leave it to me to decide who should get what. Now all of you go and do your work.



On Raghav's request, everyone started leaving one by one. As soon as everyone left, Raghav once again pulled his revolving chair back, put one leg on the other, put both hands behind his head and put his head along with hands on the back of the chair and then started smiling while spreading a mysterious smile.



Now the question is what will Sakshi do next? It is not possible that she will step back so easily.



How far will the hatred she has for Shrushti take her and Shrushti????



What does this tickling of Raghav sir say to Shrushti????



What should we understand by this mysterious smile of Raghav?????



Let us try to know the answers to all these questions in the next part.



Stay with me.

On Raghav's request, everyone started leaving one by one. As soon as everyone left, Raghav once again slid his revolving chair back, put one leg on the other, rested both hands behind his head, rested his head along with hands on the back of the chair and then started smiling while spreading a mysterious smile.



After getting rid of the day's work, Shrishti reached home in the evening. Seeing her daughter's face full of fatigue, Mata Shri said... Shrishti beta, go change your clothes and come back. Then I will massage your head and remove the day's fatigue.



"I'll be back soon" saying this Shrishti went into the room. Shrishti liked this suggestion since childhood! Massage from mother's hands, wow, it's amazing! After a while, she changed her clothes and came out. By then, Mata Shri had prepared for the massage with oil in a bowl.



Shrishti went in front of Mata Shri and sat cross-legged on the ground and spread Mata Shri oil on her hair and then… thap… thap, thap thap, thap thap…



"Aha Maa it hurts." Pretending to Maa



"Oh, stop, I am looking for the tune of the massage song."



"Play the instrument for that, why are you banging my head." "Aha, you sit quietly for some time"



Thap.. thap, thap thap, thap thap…



Hum hum hum hum…



Bam Akad Bam Ke

If I massage you hard



Then everyone's closed mind will open up…

Bam Akad Bam Ke

If I massage you hard



Then everyone's closed mind will open up…

I will remove the tiredness of the body



I will fill the mind with new enthusiasm



Tak dheena dheen, tak dheena dheen

Tak dheena dheen, didhin didhin…

Bam Akad Bam Ke

If I massage you hard



Then everyone's closed mind will open up

Bam Akad Bam Ke….

Is this world a new circus



It's nothing, we are jokers…



"Maa wait, I will sing further"



Is this world a new circus



It's nothing, we are jokers



I will do whatever you say



I will make the whole world dance on my finger



They are saying



Where will you find such a family



I have sacrificed everything for this house…



The rest of the lyrics were sung by mother and daughter together



Bum akkad bam ke



If I will do a good massage



Then everyone's closed brain will open up…



Boom akkad boom ke



If I will do a good massage



Then everyone's closed brain will open up



You are the master…



"Maa wait, not like this, I will sing the rest and listen to it."



You are my mother, I am my daughter



I am happy about this



You are my mother, I am my daughter



I am happy about this



I will always listen to you



I will bow my head in your service



My mother has given me life



My fame is my hard work



You have taught me this



Bam akd bam ke



Champi karo jhumke



So that my closed mind will open up…



(Note:- The song here is a famous song of its time which was written by Sameer sahab. I have made some changes in this song which is wrong and for this I apologize to all you dear readers.)



All the last lines which Shrishti composed herself and then sang and after listening to them Matashri's hands stopped automatically and a few drops of tears fell on Shrishti's head.



As soon as Matashri's hands stopped, the massage which was going on smoothly got interrupted. As soon as Shrishti realized this, she said… why did you stop mother. Please massage me, I was feeling very relaxed.



As soon as Shrishti's voice touched my ears, Matashri wiped her flowing tears and again started massaging. After some time of massage, Shrishti turned towards her mother and put her head in her lap and said... Maa, do you know what happened in the office today?



"How will I know? You haven't even told me yet." Matashri said while caressing her daughter's head.



Shrishti... Maa, you know how my colleagues behaved with me on the first day, but today when Sir called everyone to know my report card, a miracle happened, everyone only praised me. I was surprised to hear their words.



"My daughter is so talented and hardworking that she had to praise me." Matashri said, mixing the feeling of praise in her words.



"But mother, that Sakshi ma'am was not happy with me at all. After Sir told me about giving me a special gift, all my colleagues congratulated me but Sakshi ma'am did not say anything, not only this, she did not even talk to me properly the whole day, she was upset with me." I told the whole thing to Matashri in a complaining tone.



"Shrishti beta, this Srishti is very strange, the more you try to understand it, the more it complicates it. Just like all the five fingers of a hand are not equal, similarly all people are not the same. Some will like your work and some will not. You need to pay special attention to those who do not like your work because such people will develop hatred for you in their minds and then due to hatred they will keep trying to bring you down in everyone's eyes." Matashri said while feeding the mixture of knowledge to her daughter.



I replied to Matashri's words with just a yes and then after a few moments of silence, Shrishti said... Maa, I want to thank the uncle who helped me on the day of the interview. But I don't have his address.



"So will you go to thank him empty handed? He has done a great favour to you. It is only because of him that you got the job, so I feel you should go with something and not empty handed."



Shrishti... Maa, I will never be able to repay his favour in my entire life, still I was thinking that when I get my first salary, first of all I should take sweets and a pair of pant shirt cloth for him because that day I saw that his shorts were torn in many places, which I had stitched, but I don't know where I will find him.



"First you should get your salary, then I will tell you what to do. If you see him in the meantime, then ask him for his address or number."



"You are right. Ok Maa, till I come after washing my hair, you make some strong tea."



I will have to do everything??? Can't you do anything on your own??? Matashri narrated a clichéd and worn out dialogue which was a daily routine for Shruti.



What will this girl do after going somewhere?? How will she manage her husband, children and house???



Will your mother come everywhere??? Saying all this, she walked towards the kitchen!



While leaving, Shruti's words reached her mother's ears



"First of all, I have no intention of getting married, secondly if I have to go, I will take you along as dowry" ha ha ha ha



From the next day, Shrishti's journey of work became smooth once again. Shrishti's only aim was to somehow finish the incomplete work before four days. In which her colleagues were fully supporting her but Sakshi's mind was covered with hatred.



Sakshi wanted to stop the incomplete work from getting completed at any cost. And that too for at least 5 days which Shruti had committed to Raghav Sir! That is why sometimes she used to switch off the lights of the room which was a childish act but still some time was wasted.



Sometimes she used to keep her colleagues busy in talking on the pretext of tea and snacks and sometimes she used to hide important files somewhere. Due to which only time was being wasted.



Using whatever time was left in Shruti's hands, she was working with more dedication and speed herself and getting the work done from colleagues.



There was no benefit of working with so much dedication and speed. Ultimately Sakshi succeeded in her aim. Three days had passed since the time given to Shruti. As much Shruti was regretting the delay, Sakshi was feeling happy in her heart.



For the past one week, Raghav used to come there every day at the time of evening tea but instead of going inside, he used to go away after looking at Shruti from outside stealthily. Today again he came in the evening and was watching Shrishti secretly when suddenly Shrishti realized that there is someone at the door.



"Who is at the door?" saying this he kept the tea cup and walked towards the door.



Now the question arises here that will Shrishti be able to fulfill her commitment???

If yes then it is a good thing for Shrishti

But if not then will Sakshi be able to open her hands with full power????????

Everyone works in the office but everyone plays the game, everyone has to move forward in their own way and everyone tries the same, Shrishti is also trying to do the same, let's see what is in store for Shrishti????????

Know with me in the next episode

Part - 10



Suddenly Shrishti's voice entangled the circuit in Raghav's brain. He was in a dilemma about what to do and what not to do. He felt like going back but he couldn't do that because Shrishti was coming towards the door. He could take just a few steps before Shrishti would come out and see him and who knows what Shrishti would think. Suddenly Raghav pushed the door and said… Shrishti ji I am Raghav.



"Oh Sir you…" He had just said this much when Shrishti got a doubt in her mind and she said to herself…



"Was Sir looking at me secretly?" But why did he need to look secretly? He can come inside whenever he wants then what could be the reason for looking secretly?



"Was Sir looking at me…" No no why did you start looking at me,



"Even that day you were staring at me intently when we all went to his room. So why can't we watch her secretly today?"



No no sir we can't do that.



"I am so crazy, I have started thinking all sorts of things. It seems I have lost my mind because of too much work."



The doubt due to which Raghav did not go back. Finally Shrishti's mind pointed towards it. But this Vaabli silenced his mind by giving a different argument.



Here Shrishti was busy talking to herself, at the same time Raghav was also busy talking to himself.



"Has Shrishti ji suspected that I was secretly watching her? No no, her suspicion cannot be allowed to become strong. I will have to do something so that her attention does not go in that direction."



Both are entangled in a strange dilemma. One has suspected but has stopped his mind from thinking in that direction by giving arguments. The other even if he has suspected, he wants to stop him from concentrating on the doubt to make it strong. What is written in the fate of both of them, only time can tell, we just have to wait for that time.



Well, Raghav put a stop to his thoughts and said...Shrishti ji, how far is the work completed?



Shrishti was busy talking to herself at that time. How much she listened to Raghav's words, only Shrishti knows. When her thoughts were over, Shrishti said... Sir, don't be ji for me.



Whether it affected anyone or not after listening to Shrishti's words, but Sakshi was very affected, that's why she said softly... Oh, the story has reached this point. Madam doesn't like to hear ji. So do you like to say ji?



After saying this, Sakshi looked around, whether anyone heard it or not, when she saw that no one was standing near her, then she turned her attention towards the front. Where Raghav said smilingly... Why?



Shrishti... Sir, I don't like it. You should just take my name like you take Sakshi mam's and others'.



Raghav... ok Shrishti ji, oh no no Shrishti! Now you tell me how far the work has progressed.



Shrishti... sorry sir I could not complete the work in the time I told you, in fact it took three days more than that, still some work is left.



Raghav... it seems you started flying high because of the excessive praise that the work could not be completed even in seven days instead of four. It seems you have also become lazy like some people (said all this looking at Sakshi and then said further looking at Shrishti) Shrishti, if you cannot work responsibly then you should not take responsibility and you should not make any promise at all. Complete whatever work is left as soon as possible.



Saying this Raghav left and Shrishti was once again hurt by Raghav's words. The story of someone doing something and someone paying for it happened with Shrishti once again. Sakshi created an obstacle so that the work could not be completed on time and Shrishti had to bear the brunt. She looked at Sakshi and cursed her in her mind!!!

 

[Funlover]

While Shrishti was hurt, Sakshi was feeling happy in her mind. Her wish had been fulfilled. She wanted that Raghav should say harsh things to Shrishti for being late, which Raghav said and left.



The next day, as soon as she came to the office, Shrishti's first priority was to complete the unfinished work. She started working on it with her colleagues. Sakshi's wish had been fulfilled. That is why today she did not create any kind of hindrance in the work. The work was completed almost by lunch time. Taking a long deep sigh of relief, Shrishti said... it is finally completed. Sakshi ma'am, you go and hand over this project to Sir ji.



"Oh, so this is it, I had expressed my apprehension yesterday and today it has come true. Madam has really started saying yes. This Shrishti is moving at the speed of a rocket. Go, go as fast as you want. I am here to put a brake on your speed." Sakshi said this to herself as soon as she heard the word yes, while Shrishti had spoken in a normal tone. As soon as Shrishti spoke, one of the colleagues said... Yes Sakshi ma'am, you go quickly and hand over this project to Raghav sir, otherwise if it gets late, I will have to listen to Shrishti ma'am again.



Sakshi... I am very hungry and it is also lunch time. I will have lunch first and then I will go. Shrishti, do you have any objection? If you have, tell me, I will give it to you right away.



"No ma'am, I have no objection." Shrishti said smiling.



After lunch, Sakshi reached Raghav with the project. After seeing the project, Raghav said...after so many obstacles, this project has finally been completed. Sakshi, I think if Shrishti was not in your team, this project would have been delayed even longer. Am I right?

"Sir, you are pointing a finger at me. You are calling me lazy in gestures." Sakshi said in irritation.



Raghav...I did not say that. Well, forget it, now you go and rest today. I will give you new work from tomorrow and yes, I have to give gifts to all of you tomorrow. The gift here will be as special for Srishti as it will be for you. Now that you have free time, sit down and think what that special gift can be?



Sakshi left smiling at the mention of getting a special gift (for her, special meant something else). As soon as she left, Raghav sat down and started smiling with a mysterious smile.



When Sakshi came back to her friends and talked about resting, everyone's face lit up with a smile.



The order to rest had been received, so everyone started chatting, various kinds of things started happening. During the conversation, everyone was pulling each other's legs.



Instead of getting angry, everyone was enjoying. Slowly, the conversation progressed and suddenly a colleague started telling about his love life. Hearing this, Sakshi said...Shrishti, tell us something about your love life too, we should also know that there must be someone who loves such a beautiful innocent girl, who praises you in his own words and tolerates your tantrums.



"There is no such person, if there was, I would have told you." Shyly, Shrishti said.



"Come on, liar," said Sakshi, slapping Shrishti on the back.



"I am not lying, okay, I admit that I am lying. You tell me the truth. There must be someone in your life whom you like, seeing whom the sitar of your heart starts playing." Shrishti said while retorting.



"Yes, there is one, whom I have hinted many times, but the heartless one does not pay attention, every time he drowns the boat of my love in the middle of the stream." Expressing regret, Sakshi spoke her heart out.



"Who is it, who is that Nirmohi" everyone including Shrishti said impatiently in one voice.



Even after everyone asked, Sakshi did not tell anything about that person. She was asked again and again and every time the answer was no. Finally everyone avoided this topic and changed the direction of the conversation. The day passed in talks and everyone left for their respective homes.



To be continued….



Is a love story taking birth or two buds and one gardener?????

Now what is this special gift????? Everyone is confused??

Will Raghav take out a new leaf from his pocket????

Let's find out in the next episode..............Stay tuned

Part – 11

Even after everyone asked, Sakshi did not tell anything about that person. She was asked again and again and every time the answer was no. Finally, everyone changed the topic of discussion by avoiding the topic. The day passed in talks and everyone left for their respective homes.



The next day everyone came to the office on time but Raghav came a little late. When he came, his face was pale. It seemed as if he was deeply shocked by something.



Somehow he hid the expression on his face and went to the private room of the office without talking to anyone. Everyone who met Raghav on the way to his private room of the office was surprised by this attitude of Raghav because as soon as Raghav came to the office, while going to the private room of the office, he used to ask about the well-being of everyone he met on the way. But today he did not do so, due to which everyone was surprised.



In the private room of the office, Raghav was sitting silently, thinking about something and was losing the paper weight. At that moment a man entered the room and said... Raghav son.



On hearing the man's voice, Raghav's eyes went towards that man. "Papa" only these words came out and then tears started flowing from his eyes like a flood. Seeing Raghav shedding tears like this, that man immediately went to Raghav and hugged him and then said... Raghav you are the son of Chandresh Tiwari, the owner of Tiwari Construction Group, yet you got so hurt by a few things that you brought a flood of tears. Look at your father who could not be shaken even by a big storm, you are crying being the son of that steadfast Chandresh Tiwari.



"Papa I am not strong like you and neither am I a stone. I am a simple human being who feels pain when a thorn pricks. When that thorn is the taunt given by our own people then it hurts even more." Sobbing, Raghav told his agony.



"You don't cry, you didn't cry even when you got hurt in your childhood, then why now?"



"Why? The taunts of a step-son hurt more than an open injury, which I can't bear. I don't consider them as my step-son, then why do mother and Armaan keep taunting me by calling me step-son, step-brother. Even today mother taunted me only because I sent Armaan to Jaipur. You tell me what should I do alone, I also have some responsibility for that."



Tiwari... everything is the result of my actions which you are facing. If I had not thought about your well-being at that time, then today you wouldn't have to listen to such taunts, but don't worry, I will soon find a solution to this.



Raghav... Papa, you should listen to mother, transfer 60 percent of the property in her and Armaan's name, transfer the rest in yours and mine, maybe with this excuse I will get the shelter of mother's affection and love, for which I married her.



Tiwari... I will think about what can be done. Now you go and eat something from the canteen.



Raghav was not ready to leave, then Tiwari ji whispered to Raghav... I will keep whispering to you until you are ready to go for breakfast. Now you think how long can you tolerate whispering like this.



"Papa leave it, this is not home, this is office." Raghav said laughing.



Tiwari... what if it is office, I am not going to stop until you are ready to have breakfast.



Raghav could not tolerate the whispering for long, finally he gave up and went to have breakfast.



Now let us know some things so that the readers do not get confused. Chandresh Tiwari started his journey as a small builder which with time turned into a famous construction group. Chandresh Tiwari used to have a small happy family. Suddenly his wife died in an accident, Raghav was only five years old at that time.



Tiwari was now in a dilemma whether to look after his work or his five year old son. He could not turn his back on his work and his son. His friends and relatives advised him to remarry but at first he refused but after a lot of persuasion he agreed thinking that Raghav will get a mother's love and care.



Then through a relative he met Barkha who was divorced and had a son. Tiwari being a good man felt pity for her and thought that Raghav will get a mother's love and Armaan will get a father's love. This is where Tiwari made a mistake. After marriage Armaan kept getting a father's love but Raghav kept yearning for a mother's love.



Barkha kept saying 'mera son mera son' in front of Tiwari. As soon as Tiwari went out, she would start treating Raghav badly and would also keep threatening him that if he told his father she would throw him out of the house. Raghav would get scared at the thought of going away from home and would not say anything to Tiwari.

 

[Funlover]

Slowly time passed and Raghav grew up year after year but his suffering did not reduce even a bit. Frustrated by this, he went out for higher education and did not return home until he became a building engineer.



Raghav did not come home even during holidays. Suddenly Tiwari got suspicious that the person who did not want to go away from home, why is he not agreeing to come home after leaving. He wanted to know the reason from Barkha but she also gave evasive answers.



Tiwari was not satisfied with Barkha's answer so he went to Raghav. After much persuasion, Raghav finally told him the truth. Knowing the truth, Tiwari got very angry and felt like divorcing Barkha but he did not want to punish his son for his mother's mistake. Therefore, he gave up the idea of divorcing.



During these days, Tiwari's love for Barkha ended but his love for Armaan remained the same. There, Raghav was focusing on his studies and here Armaan was squandering his father's money on fun and frolic. Tiwari tried to stop him many times but the result was quarrels with Barkha.



Raghav returned home after completing his studies and after giving retirement to his father, he took all the responsibilities on his shoulders and then with his efficiency, he started taking his father's work and name to new heights.



If Armaan felt like it, he would help Raghav, otherwise he would keep enjoying himself. Frustrated with Armaan's antics, Raghav would sometimes stop him and Tiwari would keep on stopping him every now and then, the result was that the family feud increased.



Frustrated with the daily feuds, Tiwari transferred 30 percent of the entire movable and immovable property in the name of Raghav and himself to teach a lesson to both mother and son and transferred 20 percent of the remaining share in the name of Barkha and Armaan.



Armaan and Barkha did not like this, so both mother and son came out openly and started taunting Raghav in front of Tiwari. If Tiwari said anything, they would fight with him too. Being upset due to this, he thought of settling this matter by divorcing Barkha and paying some compensation, but he could not do this thinking that the contractors of the society might say that he married Barkha when he needed her and now that the need is over, he left Barkha and her son helpless. Ultimately, Tiwari is forced to bear the burden of this relationship, regretting his own decision, and Raghav is spending his days listening to taunts more than eating food.



While having breakfast, Tiwari explained to his son once again and then made him laugh a little, which made Raghav's mood better. After breakfast, he left his son in the private room of the office and went away. As soon as his father left, Raghav called someone on a phone.



Is this life, sometimes there is happiness, sometimes there is sadness!!!!!????



In this story I feel every character is living a double life, hope and despair, sorrow and happiness, maybe we are also like this in our life, who knows???? You think yourself about your life ........

Still everyone is optimistic, every morning with a new good hope to move forward in life ...........

Part - 12



Raghav called Sakshi and all his colleagues in the office's private room. Soon there was a sound at the door and permission to enter was sought.



As soon as permission was granted, everyone entered one by one. After the formalities of hello and hi, Raghav said... Yesterday we were enjoying the half-day holiday. Laughing, pulling each other's leg, knowing about each other's love life was a lot of fun...



"Uff, what did I say? I said what I shouldn't have said. Now what should I do? Now everyone will start suspecting that I watch them working secretly. Others may take this incident as normal, which happens often, but Shrishti, if she has even a little doubt that I watch her secretly, which is true. Now her doubt will turn into belief. Oh Lord, what a disaster has happened to me, show me a way out."



Suddenly Raghav realized that he said what he shouldn't have said. So leaving his sentence incomplete, he started talking to himself in his mind.



At that very moment, on hearing Raghav's incomplete words, Sakshi, Shrishti and other colleagues had different reactions. While other colleagues were taking this incident normally, the secret door of Sakshi's mind opened and she said to herself... If Sir was secretly keeping an eye on us, then he might come to know that because of me Shrishti could not complete the project by the given time. What will happen then? Now Sakshi was not scared. And she should have been. Anyway, a thief gets scared the most when Raja tells him to catch the thief because the thief has to think about the consequences and he is the one who commits the mistake. Anyway, what do we have to do with him?



At that very moment, Shrishti's mind was saying something different. "Um, my doubts were correct, Sir secretly watches me. No, no, why would he watch me? It is possible that Sir secretly watches whether we are working or not, but whenever I come in front of Sir, he keeps staring at me. This also cannot be denied. So, does Sir secretly watch me? Oh, what confusion have I got myself into?" If he watches, what can I do? Everyone has eyes and the right to see, but everyone's eyes are not the same!!!

Uff, what am I thinking? We will have to see what happens. The world does not run on my imaginary thoughts like this. We should check it for sure and then take a decision.



Where Shrishti, Sakshi and Raghav were engrossed in their own thoughts. At that very moment, one of the other friends said... We had free time, so we were using it properly by having fun and pulling each other's legs. If you had seen it yourself, you could have joined us for some time, this would have reduced your mental stress a little.



As soon as these voices reached his ears, Raghav became free from thoughts and said...what did he say.



"Sir, it seems your attention was somewhere else. I was just saying that since you had already seen it, you could have had some fun with us, hee hee...



"I think so and then many times I stop thinking that you people might take my fun and joke in the wrong way and leave your work and keep enjoying. If this happens, I will incur a huge loss." Raghav looked at Shrishti and said his point with a smile.



"Sir, sometimes we should have a little fun with the workers, this keeps the office environment good." Shrishti said while answering Raghav's smile with a smile.



Raghav... you are right, leave it, we will think about these things later (said further while playing a video on the projector) now watch this video carefully.



Everyone should watch carefully till the video continues. As soon as the video ends, Raghav said... this is our new construction site. A luxurious multi-storey building is to be built on it. The beauty of its outer cover should be captivating and the inner part should be equally beautiful and attractive. That's why the client says that first a map should be made and its outline should be shown through a 3D model, if they like it then only the construction can be started. Now all of you should display your skills and prepare a great module and yes keep one thing in mind, the project here is ours And since our company's reputation is at stake, no mistake should be made. He said this in very strong words so that it would become serious.



All of them said in one voice "Sir, we will take full care" then Raghav said further... Yes, so now some important things, Shrishti is made the project head of this project. This special gift from me is for Shrishti and Sakshi. And for others as well.



Sakshi had never thought that she will get such a special gift. The one who used to be the project head, suddenly a new girl who has not even been here for a month is made the project head. Sakshi could not digest this and said with irritation inside...You bloody Shrishti, you snatched my position from me. It does not matter to me whether it is the reputation of the company, now it is about my reputation. Now see what I do to you.



Here Sakshi got irritated with Shrishti, while Shrishti was very happy with this. It should be so, where people spend years working but still are unable to become a project head, in just a few days he was made the head of a project which is related to the reputation of the company.

However, Shrishti was happy, Sakshi was annoyed, on the contrary, other colleagues started congratulating Shrishti. Shrishti was accepting it with great enthusiasm. Anyway, after congratulating, one colleague said… Sir, after working with Shrishti mam for just a few days, we all have come to know that Shrishti mam is very rich in terms of talent. We got the good fortune of working with her on such a big project. Perhaps there could not have been a bigger gift for us than this? Sir, I cannot say anything about anyone else but I say my words with confidence. I will work with Shrishti mam wholeheartedly on this project and will not let our company's reputation get tarnished. With this excuse, I will also learn some tricks of Shrishti mam's skills. Perhaps in the future, the tricks I learn from her will be of some use to me and I too become the head of a project.



These words of the colleague were creating a feeling of joy in Shrishti's heart. On the other hand, he was creating only hatred in Sakshi's heart, wherever it was possible to feel the chilli, it was showing its colours and Sakshi was finding it unbearable. And Raghav looked at Srishti and smiled, then looked at Sakshi and said... You are right. The passion to learn should remain alive in us till the last stage of our life. Your thinking is praiseworthy in my eyes. But (he took a short pause, then said further by moving his eyes away from Sakshi) but some people take this passion to learn for granted, maybe they do so with an arrogance that I had to learn to win, I have already learnt, what is the use of learning more, well, leave it, enough of talking, now go and get to work. Sakshi, you wait for some time before you leave, I have to talk to you about something important.



Everyone found Raghav's words normal and some even informative but Sakshi felt a sting from his words and on hearing him stop, an unknown fear entered her mind, as a result of which Sakshi's expressions changed. Unaware of all this, Shrishti said... Sir, it is such a big project and on top of that, it is a question of the company's reputation. I was thinking so that no mistake is left. It would have been better if you had visited the site once, if it is far away, then it is okay, we will manage.



"Yes Sir, it would have been good if we had visited the site once. It is good that Shrishti ma'am reminded us, otherwise we had forgotten." A colleague said



Raghav...okay, then let's go tomorrow. Check all your important equipment, if there is any defect in any, I will get it fixed.



After this, everyone started leaving one by one as soon as Sakshi stood at her place. Raghav immediately said... Sakshi, where are you going, I told you to stop, right?



Hearing this, Sakshi sat back and after everyone left, Raghav headed towards the door.



Now Sakshi was thinking that till now I used to pit Raghav sir against Shrushti on the pretext of going to the bathroom but now it feels that she will really have to go to the bathroom.



Now what will happen between Raghav sir and Sakshi???



Will Sakshi get another chance to say something against Shrushti?? Because now both of them are alone and can do whatever they want



Will Shrushti now become arrogant due to her position??? Can she suppress Sakshi now??? Or will she herself be like Sakshi??? Money, arrogance and position are capable of making a person forget his values



Let's see further

Part - 13



Raghav was taking one step towards the door. With every step taken by Raghav, Sakshi was getting scared of something unknown. What does Sir want to say? Why did Sir ask me to stop? Did Sir come to know about my act? If that happens, I don't know what will happen to me today? Such various thoughts were going on in Sakshi's mind.



Sakhi did not even realize when Raghav closed the door and came and stood near her. Smiling with a faint smile, Raghav put his hand on Sakshi's shoulder. Suddenly feeling the touch, Sakshi got rid of her thoughts saying "Who is it? Who is it?"



"What happened, it's me Raghav, are you okay?"



"Sir, I am fine" Sakshi said looking at Raghav in a confused manner.



Raghav sitting on his chair came to the point and said... Yes, Sakshi, how did you like this special gift?



Sakshi... what kind of special gift is this? I gave my hoda to a girl who came yesterday and you are asking how did you like this special gift? Can this be a gift for me?



Raghav... it doesn't matter whether he came yesterday or today. It only matters how capable he is. One gets his hoda only at the cost of his capability. Are you understanding what I want to say?



Sakshi... yes, sir, I understand. You are directly pointing a finger at my capability and saying that I don't have the capability, that's why I am not given this project. I did not make you the project head. There was a time when you never tired of praising my abilities, then suddenly you did something that made my abilities disappear from your eyes and Shrishti who came yesterday became more capable than me.?



Raghav…Oh Sakshi, this mental obsession of yours and your ego is such that no one is more capable than me. And that is eating away your abilities, yet you suddenly want to know the reason behind my doing this? So listen, that reason is you yourself.



On hearing "You are yourself", Sakshi kept looking at Raghav in surprise. Not a single word came out of her mouth as if her tongue was paralyzed. Seeing Sakshi keep quiet like this, Raghav smiled and then said…what happened Sakshi, why did you get bitten by a snake. Come on, I will tell you the rest myself so that maybe your silence breaks. I will not know what you have been doing for so long, if you think so, then you are wrong. I am not talking about the time since Shrishti came but even beyond that. Shrishti has come now, I felt like pushing you out but I kept quiet thinking that you are Armaan's friend and there was a rift in my relationship with Armaan, I did not want to increase that mess, so I kept quiet. But now my relationship with Armaan has reached a point where it can never improve, so I thought I should make you realize your actions. But you should not think that I am throwing you out, I am just showing you your shortcomings so that you can do better.



After saying this, Raghav maintained his silence and started smiling with a slow mysterious smile and Sakshi seemed to have frozen. The blood circulation in her body stopped. Holding her breath, without moving, without closing her eyes, she just kept staring at Raghav. Seeing this, Raghav said... hey, your breath has stopped, have you forgotten to blink? Come on, blink your eyes and take a few breaths otherwise you will suffocate. If something happens to you due to suffocation, my respect will be at stake and I will lose one capable architect. And I don't want this at all. Don't forget that you are a capable architect, you just need to improve your attitude towards work.



Today, Raghav was giving shock after shock to Sakshi without giving her a single chance to recover and Sakshi kept listening quietly. Seeing Sakshi in such a state, Raghav took a few steps ahead and went out of the door.



Sakshi just kept sitting and watching. In a short while, Raghav returned with a glass of water and giving it to Sakshi said... maybe your throat has dried up, drink some water and clear your throat, this will give you the courage to listen further.



Sakshi took the glass of water but stopped at the thought of listening further and started looking at Raghav with eager eyes. As if asking, I have told you so much, what else is left now.



Raghav was in a do or die mood today. Just like a butcher makes someone drink two sips of water and then separates the head from the body in one stroke. Raghav had probably made up his mind to do something similar, that is why he himself put the glass of water in his hand to Sakshi's mouth and gestured her to drink, then Sakshi drank water sip by sip like an obedient student, then looked at Raghav as if asking what should I do with this glass now. "You will have to tell me this too" saying this he took the glass from Sakshi's hand and placed it on the table and went and sat on his chair.



Sakshi just kept looking at him with a helpless face, seeing this Raghav said... O Sakshi don't look at me in such a way that I fall in love with you. Ufff you also wanted that I fall in love with you, for which you tried God knows what tricks you tried, you didn't even stop from showing off your body. Now you must be thinking how you could get me, oh innocent girl I am also from this world, I have not come from some other world. I understand the nature of people.



I stayed away from home for ten years, for ten whole years. During that time, I met countless people who, like you, want to reach the heights of success without doing childish things. But you probably forgot that even if someone puts a glass of water to your mouth, you can quench your thirst only by drinking it yourself. Similarly, even if someone helps you to reach the heights of success, you have to reach it yourself. Am I right?



Raghav was exposing Sakshi one after the other and the words were so harsh that Sakshi was not able to bear it. But Raghav was not ready to stop. He was just talking.



Raghav...you must be feeling bad when I am telling you what you did. Just think how bad Shrishti must have felt when she had to listen to this not once but twice without any fault of yours….



"Stop it sir, how much more will you humiliate me. I have understood that whatever I did was only for my own benefit." After saying this, Sakshi started crying.



Sakshi's guilt had overpowered her. So she bowed her head and hid her face with both hands and started crying. Seeing this, Raghav came to Sakshi and said on her shoulder...Sakshi, I just wanted to make you feel guilty. Which you have already realized. Now that you are already suffering from guilt, I am giving you another chance. Without having any enmity with Srishti, join her and show your talent. I have known for a long time how much talent Srishti has. Neither you are less than her in talent nor she is less than you.



This shock of knowing Srishti beforehand suddenly shocked Sakshi, as a result of which Sakshi forgot to cry and started staring at Raghav in surprise. Seeing this, Raghav said... There is no need to be so surprised. Really, I want to give you another chance.



Till now she was listening quietly, but suddenly a jolt increased the blood flow in Sakshi's paralyzed tongue and Sakshi said... Sir, since when do you know Shrishti?



Raghav... you were shocked by the fact that since when do I know Shrishti, whereas I was thinking that after doing so much why am I giving you a second chance. Look Sakshi, it is not necessary for you to know how and why I know Shrishti.



Sakshi... but...



Raghav... but nothing, now you go and if you want, take leave today, this will make your mental balance which is shaken. It will be fine, then from tomorrow start working on the new project with new zeal and passion.



Despite being refused, Sakshi wanted to know but Raghav did not tell anything. Finally, with all kinds of thoughts in her mind, Sakshi left. As soon as she left, Raghav made a call and said... send a hot coffee and send it a little early.



After ordering coffee, he sat down again as before, the only difference was that today he was not moving his legs nor was there a mysterious smile on his lips. Rather, he was sitting quietly. He was smiling softly with ease.



Oh my god, Raghav today, sitting in the position of a sir, behaved like a sir.



Was this necessary??



Will his company benefit from this??



Or will he have to lose a promising architect like Sakshi?



Will Sakshi improve because of this???



Or will his anger which was till now limited to Shrushti, now Raghav has also made his place in it??? Now he has two enemies???



The biggest question is that how does Raghav know Shrushti when Shrushti doesn't even know him????



Along with Sakshi, I am also very surprised, really...............



Oh, there are many questions in my mind and I will have to know more!!!

Part - 14



Sakshi came back but her mind was still full of turmoil. Sometimes she used to think that since when and how did Raghav Sir know Shrishti? If he knows, then is what I thought on the day of the interview true? If it is true, then what is the relationship between the two?



For some time she kept thinking about Raghav and Shrishti, then suddenly she heard Raghav's words echoing in some corner of her mind and remembering her deeds, she was surrounded by guilt.



This condition of Sakshi came to the notice of other colleagues including Shrishti. Everyone was thinking that she is upset due to not being made the head of the new project. On this, Shrishti and other colleagues wanted to talk to her but Sakshi did not agree to talk to them at all. On repeated insistence, she went home making an excuse of being well.



While Sakshi did not need to make any kind of excuse. Because Raghav had already asked her to take leave.



As soon as Sakshi left, everyone including Shrishti paused for a few moments and then got busy with their work.



To be continued



When Shrishti returned home in the evening, seeing her daughter's smiling face, Matashri said... What a thing! Today there is no sign of tiredness on my daughter's face. It seems that she did not have to work that much today.



"I am tired but tiredness cannot stand in front of the happiness I have got today, mother. Today we have got a new project and I have been made its head." She said expressing her happiness and hugged her mother.



"Congratulations daughter, keep flying the flag of your ability like this," Matashri said patting her back.



Shrishti just replied yes and kept hugging her mother. After some time, Matashri separated and said... Today on this happy occasion, I will cook all the food that my daughter likes to eat.



Shrishti... Maa, make food of your choice not only mine but also of Sameeksha's choice. I am going to invite her for dinner today as well.



"Yes, yes, invite her as your happiness is incomplete without her."



Saying this, Matashri went to the kitchen and Shrishti called and invited Sameeksha for dinner and then started helping her mother.



At around 8:30 in the night, there was a sign of someone coming at the door, so Shrishti went and opened the door, "This foolish girl, who makes the guests wait for so long?" Saying this, Sameeksha moved away from Shrishti and came inside.



"Aha aunty, on which occasion is the house being filled with the fragrance of such delicious and aromatic food today?" After taking a deep breath, Sameeksha said



"Ask your friend and you will tell me there." Matashri said pointing towards Shrishti.



After hearing Matashri's answer, when Sameeksha turned around, she found Shrishti standing behind her. Putting her hands on both the shoulders of Shrishti, she said… oh sister, please open your mouth and tell me the secret of this party.



Or should I think for myself??? Saying this, she winked at Shrishti…and she also made a taunt at some place.



"Today we have been given a new project whose head is me…"



"Satyanash… it seems the company owner has lost interest in his company, that is why he has made this doffer the project head hee hee hee…" Interrupting Shrishti's words, Sameeksha said and then placing her finger on Shrishti's forehead, she pushed her slightly and ran away.



"I am a doffer, you bloody doffer wait, I will tell you right now." Saying this, Shrishti also ran after her. Sameeksha circled the dining table and hid behind Matashri and said… Aunty save me, look how annoyed she got when I called a doffer hee hee…



Shrishti understood that Sameeksha was having fun but still pretending to do so she started looking here and there on the table. Seeing this Sameeksha said... What is this doffer looking for on the table?
