Whims and wishes

Prologue

The big man was sitting in the divan(simplified as hard sofa) facing two muscular men. Despite the air conditioning that was the only source of the sound in the room the muscled ones were having sweat beads about their forehead.

Ashish sinhaniah stood up from the divan and walked to the french window which was to the left. The two men looked more like some prey that were thrown into the cage of a predator.

"So they are bringing in powder and selling it near our areas"

That was more of a statement than a question.
The men stood pertrified and kept the silence.

"What to you think about this, khalid? "

The big man turned to the one with the curly hair. His hair stood up like he was out of some hippie film. Even when his face was soft, his eyes betrayed no emotions.

"Ji sir, we think we should eliminate this but take an external help. If we are found mafia will be on us and this will be the least favourable time"

Ashish then turned to the next one with much shorter hair and much muscular build.

Even when Rajiv Raghu is 46 he looked around 30. He was working for sinhania from his his early thirtees.
"I think khalid bhai is right, we can avoid sending our men into other states when we are under so many presure"

Sinhania family has been in news for sometime, foremost his younger brother Amit sinhania was involved in a public beating up of a journalist and it costs a lot of publicity and money for the family.

Ashish stood staring at the garden for what felt like an eternity for the two other men in the room.
Finally he turned around with a face that  had an expression that could be something close to a smile.

"khalid, call Don"

Saheb, so I have to get back the powder and thats all?

Somewhere Ashish had a soft spot for this charming young man.

Don stood right next to him and was giving that glowing smile again. Anybody would have mistaken this youth for a wannabe film actor. But sinhania knows better

" Betta ( son), these people import powder and mix it and sell it near our turfs, then soon it will be in our areas too. So people will slowly quit booze and move on to this
Its better to cure this now than later"

"Ji saheb, but why send me than your men"

"Am not lying to you now, once you get this stuff to us you will have a place among us. But this is a hard one, we have no idea how many men wil be there. Also its better to die than get caught"

Now the charming face had grown much serious than anybody could imagine it could have got.

"Can you do it?" Ashishs sound have turned almost into a whisper

The frowning face turned into a smile.
Of course saheb,
"Don at your service." Said the man bowing his head a bit.

" Rajiv will update you on this. Get to Tamilnadu soon and get the job done"

He watched as the don get into the car with Rajiv. Little did the young man know of the danger ahead.
