TILL ETERNITY

18.

As she entered the cabin, she was expecting herself to be the only soul present but to her surprise, she found the newest addition to the Raisinghania clan, their daughter-in-law. At first Shehnaaz thought that she should ignore her,

But then she chose to tell this girl to stay in her limits....

Shehnaaz went towards her, taking a deep breath she opened her mouth to speak but before she could speak, the board rushed in with their CEO suddenly as if they didn't want her to speak to her.

Soon, everyone settled down and the secretary started to recite the agendas for the meeting, after the list finished, 

Shehnaaz spoke "Before we start I'd like to inform the board about a decision which I have taken in the best interest of the company"

"We already know about that Ms. Raisinghania, we were informed about the proposed division, of the company and on the behalf of board I, give a nod to it. And I'd also advise you both to officiate this on the upcoming anniversary of the company" spoke on of the members, while others nodded in approval

"I was also thinking for the same day and I'm glad that board is with me, but there is also something else which is to be informed that I'll resign from all the positions which I am holding currently, on dad's birthday and I'll transfer the ownership also on that day" spoke Shehnaaz, shocking all of them

"Naaz, this thing isn't needed you can still be the board member and additional director" spoke Sarthak

"I think it's high time that I should stop being a double boater, and I don't do anything here everyone knows that I am more concerned about Randhawas, and in fact this the first meeting that I am attending after my resignation" spoke Shehnaaz, almost convincing everyone 

"I also need some time for my kids, I think this the right thing to do and moreover,... atleast everyone here is aware of the relationship which I share with the current CEO while the rest of the world still doesn't know because of façade, I guess that fact does serves as a formidable reason" added Shehnaaz, convincing everyone and hurting someone once again

"Ok so in this spirit, I officially submit this to the CEO in front of the honorable board" spoke Sarthak, giving Vansh an envelope which contained a declaration for retirement giving him another shock

He wanted to cry and shout to them, he wanted to tell her that he is sorry for what he did, he wanted to cling to him and tell him that he can't leave. But he cannot, as he is Vansh Raisinghania. So, he maintained a stoic face

"I know it's not my place to speak but, I think you should not leave chachu" spoke Riddhima, voicing out her husband's thoughts

"I think we should respect his decision he's done more than enough for this company,.. I think it's time that we should let him rest. What's your view CEO?" asked Shehnaaz, contradicting Riddhima

"I have no problem" answered Vansh

After taking a deep breath the head of board spoke up "So today with a heavy heart we saying goodbye to two of our oldest associate and I..... just want to tell you that we're grateful" 

"It's an honor" spoke Sarthak 

"So, are you both doing that ritual today" asked a member

"I'll be doing it today" answered Sarthak

"I'll do that after my resignation, which is going to be after 7 months from now" spoke Shehnaaz

After that the board meeting went on they discussed on some important issues they also decided that it'll be Anurag who'll takeover after Sarthak, Sana spoke only when she was asked to otherwise she remained silent and didn't even pay any heed. Then it finally came to last check box which was the appointment of the new principal signatory, this was the only post which has been exclusive to Raisinghania Family, the company can have a non-Raisinghania as a CEO but never a principal signatory.
