THE ROYS' - Where Royalty meets Power

CHAPTER - 05 ATTACK??

How much ever Siddharth liked to be a one man army, he believed in team work. And he also believed he can't keep taking stress for every other small thing - which he most probably will, considering how his Job is related to people's lives in one way or the other - and for that to happen, he needed the best team. This Profession isn't about how much he achieves personally or how well he cracks deals with his intelligent brain. Its about people's welfare. Things have changed in West Bengal in the last 15 Years. All thanks to Vishal Vardhaan Roy. That man changed many things in the past decade. So, Siddharth doesn't have to start from Zero. If their goal is achieve 100 steps, Siddharth took over at step 45 and he couldn't be more grateful for that. 

He isn't blindsided to the uproar of media about his silence, and zero work as a Chief Minister. And he certainly knew this isn't Opposition Party's work. There exists the opposition -  only for namesake, kept in place by his bhaiyya. Very few people are aware of it and he is one of them after their father. 

And he also know who is the cause for this media uproar. He could shut all the mouths without having to lift a finger. But it didn't hurt being the topic of discussion. While his Bhabhi wanted it all to be gone, he stopped her and she didn't probe again. Because if he is unbothered, then his family is obviously unbothered about it. 

So, coming to the point, he needed people whom he could trust at any point of time. He needed a team which will help him not taking too much of stress about everything. A team which is equally passionate for the state's welfare and its development. A team which isn't greedy for money more than their salary and privileges they get being a government employee. He has been nitpicking officers and employees, for that kind of team, ever since he has become the Chief Minister. 

He was busy about the same thing when Ruchika walked into the house. He couldn't greet her properly because of it. And then he is swamped with other issues to sought her out. So, as soon as he is done with his work, he decided to call her and he just did that but until she told him that they are at Rishab's birthday party... he isn't aware of it. It slipped his mind completely.

But after a couple of minutes of talking to her, he frowned, "Are you fine? Why do you sound so off?" He asked, concerned. It has been really long they both really talked to each other. They met, they crossed paths... but they didn't spend time like they used to.

"Nothing. I am fine." She brushed it off, and he knew she isn't fine. She is either uncomfortable in the party or .. Mahima Mukherjee pulled one of her cheap stunts again. He glanced at his watch. He just reached home. Its already 12:30 in the night. Devansh wouldn't want to leave this early when Rishab's birthday just started, but .. if he went to pick them up, the boy wouldn't say NO. He is a really understanding kid that way. He made his way to his Bhaiyya's room, and relaxed when the door is open. He muted Ruchika, stepped into the room, informed his bhaiyya that he is going to pick up her and Dev, and walked out as the security was alerted again.

He indulged Ruchika with small talk, trying to distract her as much as he could, as he drove to the Birlas. They aren't very far. The drive was hardly 15 minutes. All the inherently rich people stayed close. If anyone wants to witness the Royalty of Kolkata.. they just need to visit this area. It'll be no less than perfection.

Ruchika was talking to Sid, leaning against the railing of second floor corridor, when she witnessed a couple of cars pulling into the Birla Estate. She frowned but brushed it off as she kept talking to Sid. 

"Come out." He kind of ordered and she frowned. "What?"

"Come out Ruchi!" He said before he cut the call. It didn't take more than 2 seconds to understand what it meant and the very next second, she walked into the hall with a smile that could put sun to shame, only to find Siddharth talking to Karan. She just couldn't help the grin and the relief. She could spend the whole day if Siddharth is giving her company.
