The Things That I Left Behind..

Chapter-4

"Ignore the pessimist.Be a optimist!"

I mentally cringed at his tone.

I took a deep breath.

No!Don't let him affect you!

And then i remembered he told my name as Mrs Sahni.

The nerve of this man!

I cleared my throat and introduced myself.

"Hi everyone!I am Sara Oberoi. To be more specific in terms of financial status,I am currently in absence of my dad,Raj Oberoi,49% of shareholder.I don't think I need to clarify any more points.Any questions?"

Everyone were clearly shocked.They didn't know how much part we owned.

A hand rose up.

I glanced at the person.He looked quite young to me.Around 20s I guess.He had a confused expression on his face.

He asked,"Then what is the exact status of Mr Singh,here?"

I glanced at Mr Singh.His jaw was clenched clearly angered that i had just ruined his rich status in a meeting.

I spoke up,"I am surprised,you haven't even been informed till now.Its clearly stated in a will or statement,whatever you call,that in absence of my dad,Mr Raj Oberoi,the company's shares in accordance with our family and inheritance,my brother,Mr Saransh gets 49%,I get 49% and my mother gets 2%.In case you doubt me,here is the proof."

I displayed the paper which I had just this morning had got it faxed from dad's lawyer.

I was glad I had did my homework.

The same person again asked,"But this man,Mr Singh,had told us he held most of the shares and we had to follow his suggestions."

Mr Singh looked annoyed.

Ah!Take that!

Mr Singh replied,"You can't blame me.Now we know who's the owner?So who knows maybe Saransh forced me to make this decision!"

He just did not blame us!

The same man spoke up,"Mr Singh and Miss Oberoi and Mr Oberoi.I take it,there are some personal issues here.I request you to please solve it privately.Here,we aren't to watch a drama show.We are here for a new idea.Do any of you have it?We already see the company sinking!So,if we are out of this mess,please inform us.We can't waste our time!"

I glanced at the nameplate,"MALHOTRA COMPANY".

I looked over at Saransh who was silent till now.Finally he spoke up.

"How about a new something..like.."

Mr Singh asked,"New what,Saransh!We are already sinking and again...."

How dare he cut off my brother's idea!

I spoke up,"The company was sinking because we were following your instructions.Let him complete his idea!"

Mr Singh tried to interrupt but the man from Malhotra cut him off and told Saransh to continue.

He nodded and took out his laptop and opened his ppt.

He started speaking and boy!He really had a different aura right then.

Every person's attention was towards my brother.He explained how a new part of chain if we join it could help us.

But it was last part that caught my attention.

"I would like Sara to lead this chain."

I asked,"What kind of chain are we talking about?Is it supermarket or hotel or.."

He smiled and said,"A restaurant"

I was taken aback.

He remembered it!

My childhood dream!

As usual Mr Singh interrupted,"But..."

 Mr Bakshi interrupted,"I am out of this idea."

And similarly other persons thought it was a bad idea.

They called off the meeting.

My brother tried to comfort me.

"Hey!Its okay.We will manage something."

Suddenly Mr Singh came,"Sara,you are back!I am so glad.How is your husband?"

I glared at him and said,"I think you lack common sense.I just said in the meeting.I am Sara Oberoi,Mr Singh."

He ignored my comment,"Oh Sara!Why do you and Saransh always need to call me Mr Singh.Come on,I am like your father.You can call me dad.I don't even know why your mother still waits for Raj.He is practically like dead...."

Saransh and me were holding back but how dare he drag my parents into this.

Saransh shouted,"How dare you!"

I shouted at him,"You are a disgusting man.How can you still...My mom...oh god!Don't you have shame!?And don't you dare say a word against my dad!He is very much alive.Just wait!When he wakes up,he will.."

Mr singh laughed off and went away.

I muttered under my breath,"Next time,he doesn't get away."

Saransh too said,"He will get a punch  next time!"

We sighed.

Suddenly we heard the door open.

We looked at who had entered.It was that Malhotra man.He instantly spoke up.

"Idea is good.People love food.We still need a good staff and other stuff.My boss is willing to take this idea and do this project."

I was grinning like an idiot.My brother smiled.

I gasped and asked,"Are you serious!?"

The man nodded and forwarded his hand,"I am Sachin Joshi.I am managing such deals for my boss,Mr Malhotra."

We shaked his hand and whispered to us,"Don't tell about this deal.Mr Singh probably will ruin your business."

We nodded.

AND SO IT WAS DECIDED.

We were going to open a restaurant and tomorrow my meeting was fixed with Malhotra's owner who was returning after god knows how many years! from London.

Just one thing!Who is Mr Malhotra?

Ok i promise next chapter would be better!

And guess who makes a entry in next chapter?*winks**winks*

Sometimes good things come with a bag of rudeness.*Gasps if someone took the hint*

Ok enough of me!

I think I am going to update some flash back scenes of her and that person who is making the entry.

Try to guess the person.

Meet you all soon.
