Anatomy of Love (Complete)

Chapter 6

A meeting is under session in the conference room. A young man sitting beside Sanjana, pretends to be listening to a middle-aged man explaining the monetary transactions made in the past few months. He is tall, fair and handsome. He wears an expensive suit, shiny black shoes and a branded watch. There's an air of arrogance around him. He knows he is the topic of discussion but he doesn't care.
"You listened to him. Now do you have anything to say, Raunak?" Anil Chopra asks.
Raunak smirks, "Does it really matter now? Before Mr. Mehta explained where the money went, I have already told everyone on the board what was the motive. Clearly the people here want to show me in a bad light, so no matter what I say, you all will see fault in me."
"Who wants to show you in a bad light?" Mr. Mehta asks. "I had this report from the account department. I had to share. What are you intending to say here?"

Raunak smiles, steals a glance at Rishab sitting at the end of the table and says, "Account Department ke paas aur bhi kuch jarur hoga par aap ne sirf wohi details nikale jo mujhse related the. I get it that some don't like me. And there are others who lick their butt. They can do anything to see me gone from here."
"Raunak, behave." Raghuvir says.
Rishab smirks but stays silent.
Mr. Mehta with a clenched jaw says, "Raghuvir, sambhalo apne chote bete ko. He is accusing me of favoritism. I handle finances and I just did my job here. How dare he say such things!"
Raghuvir tries to calm him, "Bipin, I apologize on his behalf. He is young and stupid. Raunak, mafi mango abhi."
Sanjana nudges him and he says sorry.

Raghuvir then says, "Raunak, abhi thik se batao. Give your explanation."
Raunak puts a file on the table,"This file contains everything you all need to know. I was on the trips, to represent our Group where needed. I haven't done anything wrong. The money I have spent was not for my personal use."
Rishab smiles, "You took your wife along for the same on the expenses of the company. You stayed in expensive hotels, honeymoon suits, had dinner with your wife and did shopping with her. No, nothing personal here."
Raunak shoots an angry stare at him, "She wasn't with me all the time."
"No, she wasn't with you on short trips inside the country. She wasn't with you on real Marketing trips that you had to go on."
"You.. don't know anything.. so.. Dad.. tell him to shut up!"
Rishab starts to laugh, "Your Daddy can't help you here today. Answer the board or accept your mistake."

Both Sanjana and Raunak open their mouths to say but Raghuvir stops them.
"There's nothing more to say here. What do the members suggest now?"
Rishab says, "Raunak must be removed from the post of Chief Marketing Officer. "
Everyone nodded their heads and agreed with him.
Anil Chopra says, "This is decided now, Raunak must resign from the position of Chief Marketing Officer. He will remain only a board member. Board now has to appoint someone for this position. I suggest the name of Tribhuvan Reddy. I welcome other suggestions after which we can start a vote for the selection."

After the meeting gets over, Rishab gets out of the room. After talking to Mr. Mehta, he goes and waits for the lift.
"Tu aaj bahut khush hai, mujhe CMO ki post se nikal ke." Raunak says coming to him.
Rishab smiles and putting a hand on his shoulder, he says, "Main har time khush rehta hun. Don't give yourself that importance. Tu CMO ho ya Peon, mujhe ghanta farak padta hai. You mean nothing to me."
Raunak removes his hand, "That's why you brought this up in front of the board and got me removed. Why are you so jealous of me?"
Rishab starts to laugh, "Jealous aur woh bhi tujh se?" His face turns serious, "Tu hai kaun? I did what I did because it was the right thing to do. This trust, this company and these hospitals under it are my Grandfather's. I can't see anyone taking advantage of it. Samjha?"

"He is my Grandfather too. And this company is mine as well."
"Yeh company aur trust tere underwear nahi hai, jise tu use karega. You know what, it's no use talking to a shit-head like yourself. The vision of my grandfather and everything he started is far too big for your tiny peanut-sized brain to understand. Aur tu kya samjhe ga, tujhe sirf apni dikhai de ta hai. All you care about is yourself. "
He turns towards the elevator and presses the button.
"Tu jo bhi bole, jitni bhi safai de, Sach yehi hai ke tu jealous hai. I got everything and you didn't." Raunak smirks, "I have Dad's attention and love, I have my mom supporting me and this post."
Rishab turns, "That man doesn't love anyone but fame and money. If you have him with you, good for you. I never needed him and neither do I seek his attention or his f****** love. And the post, well, don't forget it was I who said no to the CEO and the president post because I want to be a doctor not a businessman."
