Chapter 45Shreerang was awestruck as he looked at the current speaker.
Mr.Ranvijay Narwekar was the oprah of Environmentalist.
The man was now in his late sixties but was as enthusiastic as a teenager.
Anyone would be convinced to mend their way if the legend himself spoke for even few minutes.
All the so called businessmen including himself stood no chance.
Or maybe he only felt like that since he was an environmentalist himself.
His phone hummed a low ping. It was a notification of a text message.
It was sent by his father.
I know you are seating through the panel but Call me as soon as it’s over. -It read.
He couldn’t bear the suspense.
He excused himself from the other members even though the panel was about to start any minute now.
He called his father and the latter answered immediately.
“Ranga do you know about Mr. Paranjpe?”
“Yes Appa.”
His calmness didn’t sit well with his father.
“We need to do something.”
“I already talked to Shrimayi. She told me there is nothing we can do.”He said sneaking glance at the event co-ordinator who was probably looking for him in the throng of the crowd that was filling inside the assembly.
Shreerang waved at the woman.
The latter looked somewhat relieved upon seeing him.
“She said and you accepted it. Aren’t you supposed to atleast try?”
Vinay was angry and surprised at his son’s casual attitude.
His daughter-in-law’s worried face from the news bulletin,flashed across his mind again.
Vasanti was looking at him hopefully.
The poor woman was ready to leave for Mumbai any minute.
“Ranga if you aren’t ready to do anything,I would handle the matter myself. Vasanti and I are going to Mumbai.”
Shreerang was taken aback by his father’s words.
The coordinator was all up his nose so he needed to end the call soon.
“Appa please don’t make any rash decision. I will call you back as soon as the panel is over.”He promised.
“Fine.”His father grumbled.
Vasanti was eagerly waiting to know what her son had in mind to Save the Paranjpe’s old family business.
She had worried herself sick since she had seen Shrimayi on TV looking so upset. The idiot reporter had accidentally shoved the microphone in her face and Vasanti was sure it would hurt later.
“What did Ranga say?”
“Your beloved son talked to his wife. She told him there was nothing that could to be done about matter and he agreed.”Vinay’s tone was laced with sarcasm.
“Just like that?”
“Yes. Just like that. He is busy in his panel while his wife and her dear ones are going through hardships.”
