SADDA HAQ- Season 2 (SLOW UPDATES)

Episode 2~ Dreams

AGARWAL AUTOMOBILE

Sanyukta walked through the corridor of her father's company, her company. This was her dream, her childhood dream. She smiled recollecting her time as a kid here. Sanyukta had always been a well-behaved child but whenever her father got her here, she used to flip out. Running around the corridor and work floor, checking out the machines. She used to be awestruck watching the workers at the machines. Somehow, she was fascinated by the idea of repairing machines. From the frequent visits here, she became determined to be an engineer, a mechanical engineer.

Sanyukta felt her heartbeat increase as she approached the work area. The muttering of the workers, the sounds of the machines. She became sweaty. Sanyukta loved machines like crazy, it was her passion and now, the very machines have become her biggest phobia. She gulped and lowered her head as she entered the floor area. She was walking as quickly as she could but stopped when she heard a strong baritone, - 'Sanyukta.' She doesn't turn around.

A tall man came and stood beside her, she avoided looking at him. Instead, she stared at his black leather shoes.

'Sanyukta. There is a faulty machine.' He said. Slowly, she looked up at him. She tried focusing on his face rather than look behind him, at the machines.

'You are not an intern anymore, Raghu. You fix it yourself.' She said and turned to look down again. Raghu frowned.

'But you are the MD. If I don't tell you then-'

'Speak with Mr. Agarwal about this.' Sanyukta interrupted. She then took a step to walk when Raghu interrupted her again.

'Okay, I will send you the details. Please, go through them.' He requested her politely. Sanyukta nodded and quickly walked away.

As Sanyukta approached her cabin she almost dashed into Savitha, one of the workers here.

They exchanged greetings and Sanyukta enquired about her work. As she spoke, Sanyukta felt proud. Things weren't this way two years ago. Since the inception of the company no female staff was hired by Mr. Kishore Agarwal, but after the accident, his perspective changed, and he changed the rules of his company. Sanyukta is so proud and happy that her father has finally come out of his regressive mindset. Now, at Agarwal automobiles, there is an equal number of female and male staff. An achievement.

Sanyukta smiled and bid the woman good-bye. The, she turned around facing her cabin. During her fourth year, she had gotten the opportunity to work here in her father's company as an intern. Then, she had been furiously motivated to have her own cabin next to her father's. And today....

Sanyukta extended her hand and touched the black nameplate, her name, Sanyukta Agarwal written in golden letters. It made her proud. She then glanced at her father's cabin which is right next to hers. Finally, her dream has come alive. But at what cost? Sanyukta lowered her head and bit her lip.

Why do you always think of the past, Sanyukta? Move on- She reminded herself. Taking a deep breath, Sanyukta pushed the glass door and entered the cabin.

Sanyukta sat at her desk and tapped her fingers on the table. She recollected the days when her father used to scold her for having an opinion and today, her opinion is always considered before any deals, buying new machines and many other important decisions of the company. She remembered how after her mother's death, Kishore forced her to give up her stakes in the company. Now, she has more. Everything is just like how she had wanted, she had dreamt. But there is an emptiness, a loneliness. For Sanyukta career was the most important thing. But now, after he left her, she realized there are things which are equally important as well. Sanyukta closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
