"Aman.." Arnav looked up from his file
"Yes ASR" Aman stood attentive
"I had asked for the details of Mr. Yash Singhania, Hadn't I?" Arnav asked
"Yes You had, Sir. The file is on your table" Aman said
"And the meeting?" Arnav asked
"Your schedule doesn't allow me to add things for at least three weeks Arnav.. And now that you've started to leave the office earlier, It's become a little more difficult" Aman said
Arnav looked up to glare at his best friend but the expression on Aman's face made him smile.
"I don't think I'm answerable to you Am I Mathur?" Arnav asked with the ASRish attitude.
"No.. I guess. And I don't wanna know either. And about the meeting, I.. Have met him. Last Friday. Uh.. That actually didn't end well" Aman said seriously
"Elaborate Please" Arnav said
Flashback
"Bending is not my thing Mr Aman Mathur, I am a born king." Yash whispered to him
"Jungle mein... Seedhe ped sabse pehle kaate jaate hain Mr Singhania... Meri yeh baat kabhi mat bhuliyega. Pichle paanch saal se... Arnav Singh Raizada ke saamne khade hone ki himmat bahuton ne ki hai... Lekin ASR ke saamne khadaa ho pana.. Bacchon ka khel nahi hai.. Aap abhi abhi iss jagaah par aaye hain... Kisi tarah ki khushfehmi mat paliyega. Jo Arnav Singh Raizada ke saamne jhukne se inkaar karte hainn... Woh aksar barbaad ho jaate hain. I am sure aap abhi barbaad nahi hona chaahte (The straight & tall trees are first chosen to cut down in the jungle Mr. Singhania, don't forget this ever... In past 5 years many people tried to stand infront of ASR but failed as it's not a child play... You have just reached to this heights so don't try to nurture any false complacency (khushfehmi).. Those who deny to bend infront of ASR, eventually get destroyed & I am sure you don't want to get destroyed just yet!!)" Aman said
"Are you by any chance threatening Mr Mathur?" Yash asked
"Warning.. Should be the word Mr Singhania. ASR doesn't like to be let down." Aman said
"Then.. Mr Mathur the collaboration is going to be a great fun. We have a very similar thought process. ASR and Myself that is." Yash smirked
Aman rolled his eyes.
"Mr Mathur.. I am a free bird. No one.. Has the right, The authority, Or the power to tell me what I should do and what I shouldn't" Yash said
"This collaboration is indeed going to be great fun. Especially for ASR. He enjoys taming free birds. And his track record is pretty impressive." Aman said
Yash sighed
"Your ASR.. Is inviting trouble. Or more like you are" Yash said
"Approaching us with your proposal was the first foolish thing you did Yash. And assuming that ASR is going to dance to your tunes is the second. Its better that you don't indulge yourself in any other stupidity Mr Singhania. If you think after ruling this industry for years, A newbie such as you can rule him. You're living in an illusion" Aman said
"It's not going to be easy taming me Mr. Mathur.. Not even Arnav Singh Raizada can do that" Yash said proudly
"Mr. Singhania.. You are certainly not aware of the power of ASR" Aman mused
"I don't think it's going to end well enough for you and your business Mr. Mathur" Yash warned
"ASR has been working as the king of Fashion world for the last six years Mr Singhania.. If he was so easily intimidated, He wouldn't have been the ruler of this world." Aman said
"Let's see Aman Mathur, Who wins" Yash said
"You're acting too confident too early in your career Mr Singhania. This is a very bad sign" Aman said disapprovingly
"You think I'm a newbie don't you? Well you're in a very big illusion yourself" Yash said
Aman faked a taken aback face
Yash smirked buying the expression and walked off saying "There are many more things you don't know about me Mr Mathur"
Aman stayed back
"Six years Mr. Singhania, I've been working with him for six years. There must be a reason he calls me his.. most trusted confederate" He laughed humourlessly
"He was sounding.. Too confident. Aman what's the deal?" Arnav asked
"Political background. He was kinda.. Huge in politics before.. Venturing in Fashion on his Father's insistence" Aman explained
Arnav nodded thoughtfully.
"Arnav?" Aman nudged his thoughtful self
"Anything I should be aware of?" He asked after a long pause
"He would want to have control Arnav. He has a very.. Impulsive and Dominant personality. He wants to be at the top of everything... Everything Arnav, However much you enjoy dealing with him.. Don't let your guard down" Aman said
Arnav nodded and picked up the file with Yash's information.
"Hmm.. So our new associate is engaged in Trafficking too?" Arnav observed.
"Sadly, Yes. It's speculated" Aman said
"Why the hell are we working with him Aman??" Arnav roared.
"We've been working with the father for three years now. Sadly Senior Singhania died a few months ago just this year and the deal went in the inefficient hands of his spoilt son. We are bound by ethics. AR is Singhania Fashionables' biggest investor. It will be very easy for Yash to spread that in the event of his father's death, AR is backing away." Aman answered calmly.
"So.. In simpler words, That Yash Singhania will use ASR's money for fulfilling his illegal fantasies? And we'll let him do that? How is that even fair?" Arnav asked
"Trust Me ASR, I know it isn't. But we have no reason whatsoever to back off.. This, His involvement in Trafficking is just a speculation. And there's no legal evidence to support it. I'm sorry, But we're bound" Aman stated
"He's already making me dance to his tunes Aman! He's already." Arnav stated dejected
"Relax ASR, I'd never let you down. If he's indeed involved in anything illegal. We will be having him behind bars before the end of the deal" Aman said confidently.
"Alright. Fine, If anything gets out of hand, I'd not be responsible. And-"
"No one gets to your family, And Aquaintances. No problem" Aman completed with a wink.
"The aquaintance?" Arnav smirked.
"Your.. Secret. Which I don't want to know, But you can always tell me about" Aman made a puppy face. Arnav smiled looking at him.
"Dude.. You're seriously impossible" He said
Aman chuckled.
"Some other day. Now what's the time Mr. Mathur?" Arnav asked
"You're thirty minutes late" Aman said looking at his wrist watch
And with an UH-OH!! ASR sped off to his farmhouse.
Enjoy
