TejAng: Alone Protects Me

Chapter 5

Angad sat for good 5 minutes in the chair waiting for Jasmine to talk. She was fidgeting with her dupatta end and didn't utter a word. He understood that she might be running and re-running a good story again to fool every one around. He sighed and got up from the chair and started to leave.

"Please! Stop, don't leave" She told

" You asked me to follow you, I have left the meeting mid-way and your silence is not helping. Sleeping pills kyu liye tumne?" He questioned her.

"Main kyu apne aapko behosh karne ki koshish karoongi? Koi mujhe Marne ki koshish kar raha hai. Mai nahi karne wali internship." She said in a single go as if she has byheart those exact words multiple times.

Angad smirked and inched towards her a little and said, " Kaamchor ho tum."

Jasmine turned pale when she realised he didn't buy her lie. " Main jhoot nahi bol rahi hoon aur main kaamchor nahi hoon"

"Agar tumhe koi marna chahta hai toh zehar de deta neend ki 1-2 goli nahi. Waise Jasmine tumne apne liye haters aur enemies ke alawa kuch haasil Kiya hai apne dum pe?" He asked her and continued, " Get this straight into your thick skull Aaj se dramebaazi band karo aur har din mujhse pehle office jaakar Mera schedule check Karo."

"Agar Mai nahi Kari ye sab aur bhaag gayi yaha se toh kya karoge?" Her nostrils flared and eyes welled up with tears. He couldn't believe what he heard from this woman who was refusing to do even simple work. He hated himself for giving her chance to redeem.

" Bhaag jao you will be in the most wanted list of state police.Public places mein 420 ke list mein tumhara yeh self acclaimed Moga ki param sundari wala photograph bhi add hojayega. Ye sab chad na kal woh party wala banda kaafi hai tumhare liye usse bata deta hoon ki tum jail se bahar ho." He said with a straight face.

" Ye sab tum Tejo ke liye kar rahe ho na. Dekha maine aaj tumhe board meeting mein pata nahi kyun par bahut dukhi aatma lag rahe the, ghar aakar pata chala ki Fateh wapis aagaya Tejo ke life mein. Ab hojayegi tumhari tata bye bye Tejo ke life se." She started to do what she does best, manipulation.

"I am not doing this for Tejo but to save you from yourself. I thought you will turn a new leaf but look at you. You have no shame left and it was my mistake to give you a chance in this internship. I thought you might do well because you will have chance to go to Canada through this project."

Canada.. the only thing she could hear was Canada. She played with lives of everyone around her to go to Canada now that she has a chance to go to Canada she spoiled it on the very first day. When she was back to her senses all she could listen was

"You are no longer associated with this project anymore. Go back to Moga and keep reporting the accounts and maintenance of academy along with Rajat." He said and left the room.

She started following his way back to the hall pleading him to give one more chance but Angad really lost his cool. He could not believe that a woman like Tejo can have a sister like Jasmine. Jasmine cried and made the face she always does to get things done at her home but Angad was not family to melt. While Virks left the hall the moment they saw Jasmine, Sandhus stayed in the hall to witness the drama their younger daughter does.

Tejo was shocked so were the other family members. Jasmine asking sorry, begging for work is something they never expected to witness. She was literally on her knees while Angad sat beside Tejo. He looked at Tejo for a very brief moment. His anger calmed down but he was still really upset at himself for even thinking about giving chance to the spoilt brat of Sandhus. She actually made him leave the meeting which decides the business developments of the next quarter for her two rupees drama.
