Chapter 42

Sidharth was sitting in his cabin looking at some papers when he gets a call. He gets upset and goes to the production department. Around the lunch break he comes back to his cabin. Sana comes inside with lunch, sits on the couch opening the lunch box not noticing that Sidharth was fuming in anger.

Sana: Hey Honey, come let's have lunch.

Sidharth: I don't want! (Loudly in anger)

Sana: (Shocked at the tone) What??

Sana keeps the lunch on the table and goes near him, puts her one hand in his hair massaging his scalp and the other caressing his cheeks.

Sana: What happened sweetheart?

He shrugs off her hand and sits straight in his chair with his fingers entwined while resting his hand on the desk. The nerves on his jaws were visible as he gritted his teeth in anger. Sana was shocked at his behavior.

Sana: What happened Sidharth?

Sidharth: Leave me alone Sana! I don't need anyone!

Sana: What is it Sidharth? Why are you fuming? Have I done anything wrong?

Sidharth: No Sana! I have done wrong, I am a fool because I trust people. I give them chance to fool me and cheat me.

Sana: Sidharth, what are you talking about? I am unable to understand. Be straightforward. Why are you beating around the bushes?

Sidharth: I have a courage to tell, but do you have courage to listen?

Sana: Sidharth speak!!! (Sternly)

Sidharth: Okay! I got the call from client today morning. They said we supplied them a low quality material. I went to the production to check about it and I confirmed there were no mistakes from the department. I got a message from the transport driver that your brother changed the consignment in between while transporting. The driver feared of being caught and he escaped before I send him to prison.

Sana: (perturbed) What are you talking Sidharth? My brother can never do such things.

Sidharth: I knew you wouldn't be able to digest this news but truth is bitter. I had a good intentions to keep your family to stay with me and your brother to work with me. You tricked your identity earlier and now I am again cheated by your brother.

Sana: Are you going to trust a driver over my brother, Sidharth? Do you know what you are speaking?

Sidharth: Not only the driver but the person who bought our good quality consignment from your brother confirmed it.

Sana: Even if God comes and tells me that my brother is wrong I will not believe.

Sidharth: I don't care what you think. It was a smaller consignment not affecting much to the company's financials but what about the company's integrity? What about the goodwill of our company? I have decided that he will be terminated from his job. If it was any other person, I would have made sure him to be sent behind the bars.

Sana: Sidharth, you are taking a decision in haste. Let me investigate.

Sidharth: Do whatever you want. I just can't keep him in this office. Do you want to tell him to leave or do I do the honour?

Sana: Sidharth, it was you who asked them to come and stay with us and work here.

Sidharth: Yes, now I'm telling him to leave as well. I can't tolerate being bamboozled again. If you want even you can leave with him.

Sana: It's your rage and anger which is speaking Sidharth, you will repent for this soon. I am not leaving the job, I will prove his innocence.

Sana exits his cabin and speaks to Param.
