The Journey Ahead

31. Dadi's Wish

Next Morning

Aryan was as usual back to his work. He was standing in front of the huge glass wall admiring the view of the city when his PA entered.

"Sir may I come in" the guy in his mid twenties asked. Aryan turned around the door and gave a curt nod indicating him to enter. He sat on his leather chair while his assistant Gaurav was still standing. "Any updates?" Aryan asked.

Gaurav was also trembling in fear. Since the past few weeks his boss is comparatively little cool. But it will not take much longer for him to get back to his original self.

"Sir. I am very sorry to inform but no one is ready to make any deal with us or on a partnership. And I have spoke to many bank manager but they are also not ready to give us loan. Even if we are saying that we will return double money after few months." Gaurav spoke up.

"Have you asked all the banks?" Aryan asked. "S-sir. I-I have asked a-all the f-famous banks. I d-d-didn't ch-check over the s-small ones." Gaurav trembled. "Did I mention about only the famous banks in particular?" Aryan asked. His jaw clenched. "But sir I thought- " I said did I mention anything in particular?" Aryan asked interrupting him. "N-no sir." Gaurav replied.

"Then why did you only ask the famous banks. I told you to ask all of them that means you will be asking all of them. Weather big or small it doesn't matter. You are being paid for doing what I say. I never told you to use your own brain. Now leave. And don't leave any bank. Do as I have said." Aryan yelled. Gaurav was about to leave his office when he stopped by Aryan's voice. "And look over Mr Aditya Malhotra's bank in particular. And I want you to talk personally with him. Got it?" Gaurav nodded and went away.

Aryan left a heavy sigh. He leaned on his chair and closed her eyes. He was interrupted from his few minutes of peace by a phone call. He noticed it was a phone call from his personal numbers which nobody knows except his family and some closed ones. He licked up his phone to see it was a call from his grandmother. He picked up the call immediately.

"Yes dadi."

"Hello beta. Are you busy now. Can I talk to you for sometime."

"Yeah little busy. But you say."

"Well then I don't take any longer. I have called Ayaan also. I want you to come back home today a little early. We need to talk about few things."

"About what. Is it very important? Then I can come now."

"Yeah obviously it is important but for that you don't have to leave your work and come."

"Okay dadi. I will be try to be at home by 7:30. Will it be fine."

"Yeah okay."

Aryan murmured a goodbye and hung up the call. But the thought of what his grandmother is going to tell him disturbed him all day. She never called him anytime to say something like this. But today was a different case.

Ayaan was also inside his chamber. It was the lunch time and probably all the staffs had for the lunch. He also got a call from his grandmother informing him to come home early. He decided to leave the hospital by 7. Not before completing the operation he had. Because obviously he knew that he would be hell tired after the operation and he will have to take rest. So it's better to go home. He was bored so he decided to call Tanisha to check up on her. After few rings she picked up the call.

"So you remembered me now." came Tanisha's voice.

"I apologize for that my lady." Ayaan said.

"Is this the way to apologize to someone?"

"So do you want me to be on my knees for you holding my ears asking for your forgiveness. If you want that. I am always in service."

"Hmm. I guess that will work." Tanisha said and both laughed.
