"Vikram... a request" Rakshita pleaded."Tell me Rakshita" vikram asked politely.
"Did you stop the purchasing car's spare parts from Siddharth's company?" (Siddharth is Rakshita's paternal uncle's son)
Vikram understood what she was about to say, "To be successful in business, it is necessary to provide good quality product to the customers only then people would trust us. It is common right?"
She sat listening to him.
"Then, after earning the trust of the people Isn't it applicable to deceive them by fitting an alternative object to something? Though the spare parts were expensive, I look for standard products only but Sidharth's company's products are not up to my expectation that's why I don't want to buy those goods" said Vikram genuinely.
"You are right Vikram... This will not happen again. I am responsible for that" said Rakshita.
vikram blinked "Are you responsible? How?"
"I have now joined in Siddharth's company as a new partner. We have made a big investment by relying on your company so i would be cautious that it does not happen like the old mistake anymore. Through this business avatar I can shout about business and then take care of the business that my brother is starting locally" she said. (Rakshita's brother is doing business in abroad)
"Hmm... Ok... Make sure it doesn't happen again. I have no choice but to transfer from Siddharth's company if the same mistake happens again" he said firmly.
"That will not happen Vikram. When I inquired about this fault with Siddharth it was revealed that it happened due to a mistake made by an employee there."
"Oh! really? The people will not accept the mistakes caused by them or due to their carelessness instead they will blame the innocents" he chuckled.
"What? Did you mean Siddharth is wrong?" her eyes got widened.
"Ha... ha... It's my general opinion! For example, Did you remember the rumour news about us that have been spread before a month? asked Vikram knitting his brows.
"Yes Vikram. Our parent's wish is our marriage. Journalists have sniffed it but you just won't let it go, right?" She pouted.
"Yes. Someone else did the wrong but she was blamed for the issues and lost her job..." he was about to say Ahana's name and her image was caught through the glass window of his room. Vikram looked at her with fixed eyes. Rakshita looked back towards the direction of his eyes and noticed Ahana talking to Shiva about something.
"What Vikram? I don't understand anything. Who was blamed?" aksed Rakshita."Mmm... there is the girl... Ahana..." he said pointing her image.
"Ok Vikram. I thought of asking you about Vidharth anna's P.A (Ahana) on that day itself. Poor girl! How long is this girl going to survive here? so much to deal with both of you at once. Is it difficult? Isn't she the seventh P.A in this year?" she questioned him curiously.
"Ha... ha... yes. I think it might be hard for my brother and I to take care of this company alternately" he replied.
"That's right. When will Vidharth Anna come?"
"By the end of this month" said Vikram.
"Okay..." she said, coming back to the newspaper talk, "Since the news of the wedding came out, my dad was amused and he was waiting for the big day. I informed him that there is only friendship between us and he wasn't ready to accept my words. In turn he questioned me, aren't friends going to be lovers?" It seems that rumours are responsible for everything and finally results in our marriage" She pouted.
"Rumors might speak thousand unnecessary words too. Just Ignore" he said shortly.
"But I like these rumours Vikram... It's not a surprise even if I fall in love with you because day by day, the value and respect on you are increasing" she blushed and her eyes settled down as she was unable to see him.
"Ha. .. ha... Are you serious Rakshita? Don't make fun of me girl! You know, I don't even have time to read the words called love, marriage etc etc" he joked.
"No one knows when love will come Vikram. there is no time for that" She showered the language of love, while sowing her new business plan with Sidharth.
"Aww! Nice but don't choose me if you want to be loved. I have no time for it. It will take over some more years for my marriage. You will be old by then" he smiled. She smiled back looking at him and said "Okay Vikram, I'am leaving. sorry... I wasted your time" then she slowly got up from her seat.
"No problem... take care."
"Take care" she grinned as she walked out and paused in front of Ahana.
********
Ahana secured the granite stones that she took from the company godown. She walked towards Shiva as soon as he stepped out from Vikram's cabin.Closer to him, Ahana pointed the stones and asked, "Shiva, there exist the discrepancy between the details of the granite stones in the company and the criticism given by the customers? How can I choose the best stones for this?" She asked.
"Yes, there is a contradiction. We export these five types of stones as per their favour in outside India... But in our country, we might choose and export one type of stone that is good, so choose best two out of these five types of stones. There are a lot of similarities between these five stones so it's being little difficult to choose. If Vikram sir likes your selection then the conflict between you both will lessen a bit"he sighed.
Thinking about the conflict, she let a frustrated sigh. Again, she focused on the stones "So... isn't it enough to focus only on these five stones?"
"Yes" he nodded.
"Well... thank you Shiva" she smiled, and he opened the smile too.
Then she left, sitting in her seat and searching for reviews of exported granites on the computer.
"Hello! Ahana... Did you work for the Sun Daily newspaper previously?" asked Rakshita.
"Yes madam" said Ahana with a blink.
"Knowingly or unknowingly I am indebted to your company. I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of your former company" she said as she passed Ahana.
"Thank you? For what?" How did she they know about my career in the Sun daily newspaper? hmm... Vikram might have have said something. Why did she thank me?" She thought "hmm... It is good If Vikram doesn't pull me out unnecessarily. How many times have I said that rumor is not the part of my job? Doesn't he understand?" She sighed and turned her gaze over his room.
