On my arrival back to Mumbai, I was faced with a lot of questions, to which I had really no answer to.

I was devastated, puzzled and confused.

Everything that happened at home bothered me way too much.

It felt as if I had been awakened to a new reality where I didn't know whom to believe and whom not to.

I promised that I would talk over these top papa, but until then my mind needed rest and my heart needed peace so I decided on getting a shot or two from the best pub in my locality.

As I stepped in the pub, loud music banged over my ears, people dancing and having their life's time yet I was here finding out mysteries of my own family!

I sighed and sat down on a chair facing the bartender.
I order for tequilla shots and gulp them down in a go.

After I think the fourth shot, my vision turns blurry and I knew I needed to stop.

I quickly pay my bills and drive back home.

...

I do a lot of struggle in trying to open my eyes. I realised that I didn't even have a proper dinner last night.

After returning from the pub I went straight away to sleep, as my nerves had been eased by those few shots. I am not a great fan of alcohol but I prefer it on days like yesterday, when I am all tired, deprived and unhappy, it helps me.

After taking a cold shower, I get dressed and ready for the day.

I munched down a few nutritious biscuits and drank a glass of milk before I drove myself to office.

..

Parking in my car I go to my cabin to get settled down.

The cleaning staff does all the tidying up as I wait in the door way waiting for them to finish the job.

"Kal se ye sab kaam mere aane ke pehle ho jana chahiye. " I tell them and they leave nodding to my order.

I dial Shweta's number in the telephone and ask her to come in my cabin with few others, who were designated as positions of team leaders and managers.

They assemble in my cabin in no time.

"Good morning sir.." They wish me, some in a nervous voice while the others cheerfully.

"Guys I have summoned you people here for assigning certain jobs. Raval Industries are presently on number 2 in the business leader board of India, which I am not liking at all.
We have to be on top."

"But sir would it be possible for us to overtake Agarwal Corporate..? They are growing every single day and I believe their revenue is almost twice ours.." Shweta says this to which my nerves get triggered, anger rises through my veins which I can't control.

I get up from my chair and walk straight towards Shweta, standing hands away from my table.

My eyes gape upon her and she loses the courage to face my eyes and looks on the ground, nervousness clearly visible in her eyes. She starts sweating even in my air conditioned cabin.

Observing me like that, the others get equally nervous and worried.

"Think twice before you utter something. " I warn Shweta.
