By Lord Shiva, let Durga succeed in this. This would be a huge gain for our company.

Why do you trust her?

Because Akshad Sir trusted her.

So? She was his daughter. It is natural for him to trust her.

But Akshad Sir trusted me to help Durga.

Maybe because you were his best student?

Might be...

Are you sure that is the reason Rudra Shetty?

Rudra shrugged and watched as Durga was typing the draft. She was typing, shook her head, pressed backspace key many times, turned few pages of the book and again typed. This process was repeating for next two hours. Arvind was keenly observing Durga. He wanted to refuse her offer but his greed got better of his ego.

Once this woman finishes typing I will read it here. If she has written it properly then I will be applauded and who knows I might be the next Chief Minister?

Arvind was busy smirking when Durga waved her hand in front of his eyes. Arvind came out of his trance and was about to snatch the paper from Durga when Durga raises her hand.

" You puny woman! How dare you do this?"

" Mr. Arvind, please calm down. Don't forget this puny woman might help you a lot in achieving your dreams." said Durga harshly, pointing towards herself.

" What do you want?"

" You are very smart minister. No beating around the bush. I will come to the point directly. Wherever you publish this draft I want the company's name to be printed."

" But they will come to know that I have taken help."

" So? You wanted all the appreciations? No minister it is not possible. Also you have to pay fee for it as per Rudra Sir's demand."

" What? Why should I pay fee? I am a minister."

" That's what I am saying. You are a minister. You can easily earn money. I am sorry black money. But we are middle class people working hard for providing our family basic requirements which government should be providing."

Arvind looked at Durga with his jaw nearly dropping on the floor. Nobody had dared to question him in the Lower House, this woman was insulting him straight away. He tried to control his anger and threw a dirty look at Rudra. Rudra looked at Durga and nodded. Durga gave him the paper and left the room, closing the door behind her.

" Rudra! What is this? Your employee has insulted me. You are sitting here calmly? Don't forget my son is your friend."

" Yes Sir. I remember. But I think Durga is right. We need to keep personal relations aside and talk like professionals. Shouldn't we?"

After a heated argument, Arvind left with paying the amount asked by Rudra and promising to print their company's name. Apparently he had refused, but when Rudra threatened him for printing a copyrighted draft, without their permission and taking him to the court, Arvind had to agree.

Before leaving, Arvind glared at Durga. Durga smiled at him politely making him even more angrier.

Rudra ordered, " Durga in my cabin, right now."

Durga looked surprised. Cabin? Is there a cabin? Ah yes! His room... he calls it a cabin. It doesn't look like one.
