English fiction Books library - Elove : ch-47 Good move!
Future of such a big company was at stake; therefore Inspector had no choice than to agree everything demanded by Atul. And it would cause how much loss was clearly visible from Bhatiaji's sweaty face. That way Bhatiaji was thick skinned and mentally strong person, but today he was totally disturbed.
As Atul wished, Vivek was ready to go with him to take him as far away as possible. Therefore the big question of who will go with him was solved, for it was dangerous to go with him, to the extent of loosing one's life too. It was sure that he would not allow the one who will accompany him to carry any weapon. It was equally difficult for Anjali to allow him to go with him. She didn't say anything but it was evident from her worried dull face. On one hand Bhatiaji's company was at risk, who had allowed her to devise a trap to catch the victim in terms of the contest. On the other hand she didn't want to loose Vivek again. Vivek sensed the dilemma she was going through and took her in his embrace,
" Don't worry honey.. I will be fine"
Anjali didn't say anything. But lastly she agreed to send him with Atul. In fact Inspector played a major role to agree her.
After Bhatiaji, Anjali, Vivek and Inspector left the stage, the anchor was successful in vacating the hall peacefully with the help of some police. Now in the company campus there was nobody other than police, company's employees, Vivek, Anjali, Inspector, Bhatiaji and Atul. Some people who vacated the hall got air of something wrong; therefore they were observing the activities going on in the campus, hiding far from the company campus. But they were very few. Therefore it was not too difficult for Inspector to handle the criminal and his demands. If those people were still in the hall, it would have been very difficult to keep them in control than handling the criminal.
Lastly it was decided to let go Atul far from this place and Vivek to accompany him. Everybody came out of the buildings and assembled in the open space. There were so many vehicles standing in the parking other than police vehicles. Atul take a careful close look of those vehicles and fixed one among them to go. He went to that vehicle and tapped on its top,
" Whose vehicle is this?" he asked.
It was one of the employee's vehicles.
The employee came forward, hesitantly, "It's mine"
" Give me the keys" Atul ordered.
Bhatiaji looked at the employee, signaling him to do so. The employee quietly removed the key bunch from his pocket and handed it over to Atul.
" We will go by this vehicle" Atul announced.
" First of all .. submit your mobile" Vivek said, regarding him from top to bottom.
Atul thought for a while and handed over his mobile to Vivek, " Good Move"
Vivek took the mobile and handed over it to Inspector.
" Now its your turn" Atul said.
Vivek also removed his mobile from his pocket and handed over to Atul. Atul opened the vehicles dicky and kept the mobile in it. But then what he thought, don't know, he removed it from the dicky and kept it back by putting it off.
Now it was Vivek's turn to say, " Good Move"
Atul smiled shrewdly looking at him, " Now its right"
" Who will drive the vehicle?" Vivek asked, approaching it.
" Off course me" Atul said, approaching the driving seat.
Then suddenly Atul stopped, "Wait"
Vivek also abruptly stopped. Atul went to Vivek, smiling egoistically and started to search him all over.
" Yes... now its ok" He declared when he was satisfied.
Probably he searched him for possible weapon.
Atul was now again going to the driving seat, when Vivek intrupted, "Wait"
" That applied to you too" Vivek said, imitating the same egoistic smile.
Vivek also went to Atul and searched him completely.
" Yes ... now its ok." Vivek said and started to go to the vehicle.
" No... still its not Ok" Atul said.
Inspector looked at Atul quizzically.
" Inspector... listen... if at any instance I realize that we are being followed... or our information is being passed on to any place... in that case .. beware ... I will give the password... but it will be wrong password... and after entering which, your company's data will be destroyed immediately... understood" Atul warned with his authoritarian tone.
" Don't worry ... you will not be followed.. provided you give us the correct password.." Inspector said.
" That's like a good boy" Atul said, occupying the driving seat.
Atul started the vehicle and looked at Vivek sternly. Vivek quietly took his adjacent seat and pulled the door, looking at Anjali.
Atul raised the accelerator, took the vehicle out of the company premises, and drove off with full speed.

Anjali was driving the car and Vivek was sitting on the seat next to driving seat. For quite some time they were quiet, occupied in their own thoughts.
In fact Vivek is enthusiastic, smart and good looking than she would have ever thought ... and he is how simple and uncomplicated....
In a way it is better that he has asked the question about marriage in the first meet itself...
In fact asking that question he has made his intentions clear... and he has given her the chance to reciprocate her feeling about him...
Now she was feeling warm about him... She was started to look in him ... her future companion... a friend... who would always accompany her in her joys and grieves...
While thinking she glanced at him. He also looked at her, sharing a sweet smile.
But would he be thinking same about her?...
" When did you study?... I mean... Every time I could see you busy on chatting and on internet" Anjali asked, trying to tease him.
Vivek just smiled, sensing the naughtiness in her words.
“ How is the progress of your company these days ?” Vivek asked.
“ It’s good... Why?... Our company is progressing day by day” Anjali said.
“ No... I thought your continuous presence on chatting and net may have affected the progress” Vivek said, replying her with equal naughtiness.
She just smiled. She was aware and proud of his presence of mind.
Anjali’s car stopped in front of the lavish hotel - Hotel Oberoi. While taking the vehicle to parking section she said, “ Just a minute.. I have forgotten my cell in the hotel room... I will collect it and then we will proceed.... otherwise..” She abruptly stopped and asked, “How about a tea or coffee..” Anjali said getting down the vehicle.
He just shook his head in affirmation. Anjali got down and proceed towards the hotel and Vivek also got down to follow her.

Vivek was sitting on a computer in a cyber cafe. When he opened his Google mail account with magic movements of his fingers, he saw Anjali's mail arrived. His face beamed up with happiness. Without wasting much time, he double clicked on the mail, opened it and started reading through it -
"Vivek ... on 25th I am coming to Mumbai, in connection with a business meeting ... around 12.30 I will be reaching hotel Oberoi... there would be meeting at around 1.00, and it would be finished by 3.00 or 4.00 ... I will wait for you at Versova beach at 5 sharp... Bye for now.. .take care"
Vivek read the mail, stood up and victoriously cried, "Yess..."
He cried so loudly and impulsively that other people working around in the cafe looked at him with surprise and astonishment. When he realized it, he blushed and sat down.
Now he tried to concentrate on his research. He gave some search strings related to his research topic on the search engine. But he was not able to concentrate. He was feeling impatient, when the days would pass, when the desired day would dawn, when he would go to Mumbai and when he would at last meet her at Versova beach. He was feeling urged to meet her as soon as possible. 'Versova beach' he tried to recollect about the place. He knew that the place belongs to Mumbai, but the exact picture of the place was not coming to his mind, because he never visited it. Suddenly a search string 'Versova Beach' formulated in his mind, which he gave on the Google. So many links to photos, maps, information regarding Versova beach appeared. He opened the railway and road maps and finalized the route to would take on the desired day. As the task finished again he felt vacuum in his mind. What to do next. His mind was not ready to think over the other thoughts in which she was not there. Therefore he decided to open her old mails and surf through her attached photos. As he went through the mails he glanced through the dates, which indicated that the affaire was not that old. Today it was almost one month old. But he never felt that they are new to each other. He always felt that she is her old friend, a part of his old life. As per the mail contents they have sent each other they have well formed each other’s image in each other’s mind. By this time they were well aware of the nooks and hooks of each others nature.
“ Would she be exactly what I have imagined? Or would she be different?
A thought ran through his mind.
Or when we would meet ... one who is totally strange... one who is absolutely unfamiliar would have stood in front of me...
He was thinking while going through one of her digital album.
All those doubts would be cleared once for all ... once we would meet...
He thought.
Suddenly he sensed somebody’s presence behind him. He turned around to find Johny smiling at him naughtily.
“ So... whats’ up ? ...” He said pointing at his zip, to tease and irritate him.
“ Oh.. when did you come?” Vivek asked him trying to hide his confused looks.
“I thought why to disturb you when you are so deeply involved in your PHD topic” Johny said giving a little more stress on the world ‘PHD’
“ When did you come... its not good to peek in others private things.. you don’t have that much sense” Vivek said pretending dislike.
“ It’s almost half an hour I stood behind you..... after marriage, it seems ,definitely you are going to forget us” Johny said again try to tease him.
“ Aree No yaar... How could it happen?... At least I would not be able to forget you” Vivek said pretending to hit him in the stomach.

As days passed by, their mailing went on increasingly. The lengths and breadths of their mails went on increasing. Sending photos, sending jokes, sending puzzles...they were having so many reasons to send emails. Gradually Anjali realized that she was falling in love with him. But neither Vivek nor Anjali ever expressed it. With every mail, with every sentence of the mail, with every photo, they were sharing every aspect of their personalities. And Anjali found herself more and more attracted and immersed in his love. She never stopped herself; in fact she was enjoying the immersing rather than controlling herself. But as far as expressing love is concerned she was cautious. She had a good reason, that she still has not seen him. It was not the case that she was unaware of his love. But maybe he was also equally cautious, maybe with the same reason that he had also not yet met her.
Will he avoid me after meeting personally...
A slightest thought came to her mind, which she immediately shook off. Because she was confident of her.
Anjali was busy in chatting on her machine and Sharwari was sitting across her table.
While reading a message, came on the monitor, Anjali said,
" Sharwari... look .. what he has sent"
Sharwari got up from her chair and joined Anjali, standing right behind her, looking at the monitor. These days they often used to exchange some things or the other. And Sharwari also always liked to enjoy their 'lovely' communications. There was a dancing Chinese baby on the monitor. They exchanged a sweet smile. Suddenly the baby started to pee while dancing, when both of them laughed loudly.
" Where did he search these stuff ?" Anjali said.
" Ya .. that's true... I search the internet most of the time but I never came across this animation" Sharwari affirmed.
When they were busy exchanging sweet comments about Vivek, an aged person knocked the door. Anjali looked at the door and affirmed him to come in. As he came in, Anjali revolved the chair to face him. Sharwari left the cabin. As the man took the seat across her she said,
" Yes Anandji.."
" Madam ... Intel has arranged a meeting with their all collaborator companies... Just now I received their fax... They have sent a venue and the date... and an agenda is also attached with it. " Anandji supplied the information.
" What is the venue? " Anjali asked.
" Mumbai... 25th... that is Monday and the venue is Oberoi hotel" Ananji said, referring the calendar.
Anjali thought over, looking at the calendar,
" OK.. .send the confirmation ... and will you submit all my flight and hotel booking details to Mona please "
" Yes.. sure Madam" Anandji said, standing up.
Anandji left the cabin and Anjali revolved her chair, taking the charge of computer again. Her face was beaming with happiness. Quickly, with swift movements of her fingers, she opened her mailbox and started to type a new mail -
" Vivek... it seems our meeting is destined to happen very soon .. Ask how?... No I won't tell now... there should be some climax... isn't it? .. will send all details in the next mail... Bye for now.. take care... Anjali ☻.."
Anjali immediately send it by pressing the 'send' button. A message appeared on the monitor - 'Mail Sent'

Vivek was reading something on the computer, when his friend came quietly, and stood behind him. For quite sometime he was observing Vivek’s activities.
“ So master ... What does your love story says?’’ Johny asked unexpectedly, shaking Vivek’s shoulders.
Vivek startled, and fumbled to minimize the open windows on the monitor.
“ I have had read everything... there no use of hiding now” Johny said, smiling naughtily.
Vivek opened the windows again, trying to hide the confounded expressions on his face, and said, " Look... what she has sent as an attachment"
" I see... that means the fire is equally on both sides... By the way what's her name... who has stolen our Vivek's heart" Johny asked.
" Anjali" Vivek said, blushing red.
" Look... How much our Romeo is blushing" Johny said, teasing him.
" Let me see... what she has sent?" Johny asked further.
Johny sat on the stool kept beside and started reading. Vivek intervened and started explaining him about the software program sent as an attachment by Anjali -
" This is a program written by a Japanese engineer, and it is based on a reflection technologies. Whenever we sit in front of a computer monitor, light falls on our face and gets divided and reflected into different colors to the monitor. This software program gathers the intensity of the different colors fallen on it and converts it into a photograph. That means if we run this program, it can gather the intensities of the reflected light colors, and could convert it into your photograph. Isn't it amazing? But while taking photograph we have to take care of certain things like... we should sit properly facing the monitor, exactly parallel to the monitor. If there is angle between your face and the monitor, the photograph may not be of good quality."
“That means this software can photograph us?" Johny asked.
“Exactly.. ..Look this is my photograph... photographed just few minutes ago" Vivek said opening his own photograph.
“Wow... its amazing... if its so... there is no need to buy camera.." Johny said, in an excitement.
" That's what I am trying to say" Vivek added.
" Wait... let me see... let me run it" Johny said, asking Vivek to get up, and taking his seat.
Johny took the charge of the computer and asked moving the mouse curser around, " What I need to do now?"
" Nothing ... just click the 'snap' button.. but... wait... first you sit right.." Vivek suggested.
Johny sat right and moved the mouse cursor on the 'snap' button.
" Smile please" Vivek added.
Jonhny tried to smile, as he can.
“Ready ... now press the button" Vivek.
Johny clicked the mouse on 'snap' button. For few seconds blue 'Processing' progress bar appeared on the monitor and a photograph appeared. As the photograph appeared on the monitor, Vivek laughed loudly and Jonhy's embarrassed face was ideal to be photographed. On the monitor it was a monkey’s laughing face.

Sharwari was working on computer in Anjali's cabin. Ajali came back in the cabin, finishing her early morning meeting. She looked into the watch, it was around 12 in the afternoon. Pulling back her revolving chair, she almost thrown herself in it, and adjusted the rear of the chair to relax. Sharwari glanced at her, sensing her presence and again resumed her work.
" Any special mail?" Anjali asked without looking at Sharwari.
" No.. nothing special... there was one... as usual Tom boy's mail" Sharwari said sarcastically.
" Tom Boy... I have never seen such a bore person in my whole life...Did you? " Anjali asked.
" Sometimes but not constant to this extent...." Sharvari replied.
It seemed, Anjali and Sharwari must had a prolonged talk over 'Tom Boy'.
" And yes... there is one more... from some one called 'Vivek'" Anjali added.
" Vivek... yes must be the same chap... met on the chatting... I tell you... what he would have written... I bet ... the first question would be What is your age... next ... what is your address... next... my age is so and so... my adress is so and so... And slowly he would come to the point... All males are like this only... "
" He had written nothing ... as you are assuming ... " Sharwari interrupted her.
" No?... then he must have recommended some product from some company... so that we would buy the product and he would earn the commission..." Anjali said.
" No... nothing like that also" Sharwari said.
" Then?... Then what has he written?" Anjali asked curiously, turning towards Sharwari, to look at the monitor.
" He has written nothing... He has sent a blank mail... and at the bottom he has mentioned his name as 'Vivek' " Sharwari said.
Suddenly Anjali sat right.
" Let me see" Now she approached Sharwari, pushing her revolving chair towards her.
Sharwari opened the desired mail from Anjali's mailbox. Really it was blank!
" Anjali ... you believe it or not... the boy has style..... at least he is different from the other boys... " Sharwari said, trying to get Anjali's opinion.
" Will you shut up please? .... And what is that Boy.. different boy... boy with style... Did you know who is he?... Where does he belong? ... What is his age?... May be some crazy old man punk ... You know now a days people personalize themselves on internet ..."
" Ya.. .that's true... but don't worry... I will do his cyber investigation.. right now... " Sharwari said, keying some keyboard keys and mouse clicks swiftly.
Within seconds a report appeared on the monitor.
" Here you see .. his name is mentioned as only 'Vivek' ... surname is not mentioned... Staying at Mumbai and persuing PHD... and the age is..." Sharwari took a purposeful pause.
Anjali was also seemed to be curious and was waiting for Sharwari to disclose the details about the age.
" PHD?... then must be over 45... Didn't I tell you before?"
" And his age is 25 years" Sharwari said, as if disclosing some long waited climax.
" So... What to do now?" Sharwari said trying to tease her.
" The one who wanted to give the message...
They had given it...
The heart seems to be beating badly on the other side.
Now it's your turn to express... "
"Wow what a shayari... " Sharwari said, praising herself.
Anjali simply kept quite.
" So what to do next... come on tell me quickly" Sharwari was not ready to leave her.
" Nothing much.. just delete the mail" Anjali said carelessly, at least pretending so.
" No... No... don't be so cruel.... ok will do one thing... will reply a blank message to the blank mail"
Before Anjali could say anything Sharwari operated the keyboard and mouse with her swift finger movements and replied the blank mail with a blank reply.

It would have been 10 in the morning, when Anjali entered her cabin in hurry, to find Sharwari was busy in looking after the neatness of the cabin. In her absence the sole responsibility of the cabin was left to her.
As Anjali entered the cabin, Sharwari wished her, " Good Morning.."
' Madam ' was the next word about to come though her mouth, but some how she managed to gulp it.
Though Anjali was like a friend to her, at last she was her boss. Most of the time it was awkward for her to behave with her like a friend, in front of the other office bearers at least.
As Anjali passed by her, she tapped enthusiastically on her back, " Hi.. "
Her driver followed her, carrying her suitcase. As Anjali took her seat, driver kept her suitcase on her right and left the cabin.
When Anjali seemed to be comfortable in her seat, Sharwari pushed the appointment diary in front of her, opening the today’s page. Anjali switched on her computer and started to read through the appointments today.
" Meeting .. so early in the morning.. I didn't even settled." Anjali said making a bad face, " But be sure I could not attend the afternoon seminar... Why don't your send Sharmaji"
" Ok.. fine" Sharwari said, star marking the appointment.
" What else we can do... we can't say plainly no to these people ... and in the absence of time I even can't attend them... really it's not easy to head an institution" Anjali said.
Anjali opened her suitcase and started removing the papers one by one, having a look at them while removing.
Keeping one of the paper aside she said, " Look... tender work of this company is still incomplete... please send this paper to Mr. Kulkarni..."
" Mr. Kulkarni is on leave today" Sharwari
" But as per my information he was on leave till yesterday..." Anjali said, with irritation.
" That's right... But .. just half an hour before he ringed up ... telling that he could not come today too" Sharwari said.
"Why? Why can't he come?" Anjali was angry now.
" I asked, when he phoned, but he disconnected without telling anything"
" Kulkarni... this Kulkarni is such a irrisponsible man..." Anjali said cursing him, trying to control her anger.
And then Anjali's loose her temper and started cursing everything. She was continuously speaking. Sharwari was quite sure and knew what to do, when Anjali keep on cursing and talking like this. Nothing, just keep on listing and ignoring her curses, without reacting. Anjali herself told her once that when our boss looses his temper, like this, he just keeps on cursing and talking to relieve his stress. It is one of the stress relieving techniques. While our boss is out of temper and the secretary who reacts or asks him questions in between, in fact increases his stress more, and that secretary is considered to be the most unsuccessful secretary.
By now Anjali seemed to be calmed down. She picked up her files and papers and stood up to leave for the meeting. Sharwari also stood up.
Before leaving she looked at her glowing monitor and said, " Will you please check my mails please... I am leaving for the meeting" and Anjali stared to leave the cabin.
" Personal mails too?'' Sharwari asked her, teasing her playfully.
" You know ... there is nothing personal... And whatever is there.. you know everything... " Anjali replied back, looking at her with the same naughty stance, and left for the meeting.

In the internet cafe Vivek was busy writing something. Another person Johnny, almost of his age, probably his friend arrived in the cafe and tapped on his head playfully from behind,
“ Hi Vivek... What’s up?’’
Coming out of his trance, Vivek looked behind and said, continuing his work on the computer, “ Nothing yarr,... trying to send a mail?’’
“ Whom?’’
“ A girl”
“ Wow... girl... the matter seems to be of love” Johnny said, teasing him.
“ No yarr.. just a friend” Vivek said.
“ My friend... you agree on don’t agree...
When we want to talk a girl and we don’t get words...
Or When we want to write to a girl and we are clueless...
then be sure you are in love...” Johnny said, again trying to tease him more.
Vivek just smiled.
“ Look... look... how you are blushing” Johnny said.
Vivek again smiled, without saying a word.
“ When somebody neither denies...
Nor agrees...
then be sure that he is love...” Johnny was not ready to leave him.
But now, Vivek got annoyed, “ Would you leave this place or wants to be beaten up?’’
“ Whatever you are thinking ... it’s nothing like that... I am doing web search for my PHD topic and in between just mailing to relax...” Vivek said, trying to control his irritation.
“That’s all?” Johnny said.
“ You are leaving right now ... or be ready to be humiliated in front of this crowd here?” Vivek said again in irritation.
“ OK ... OK... just calm down... anyway... what’s the topic of your PHD research?” Johny asked.
“ It’s secret.. I can’t disclose to anyone” Vivek said.
“Not to me too?’’
“ No not to you too’’ Vivek said firmly.
“ It’s good ... under the name of secrecy it is convenient to continue as many love affairs as you like” Johnny said.
“ Whatever you assume?”
“ No .. it’s beyond the point of assumption...” Johnny said.
“ What do you mean?’’
“ It means.. I need not assume anything.”
“ Why?’’
“.. because everything is clear and confirmed”
“ You mean...” Vivek got up to chase him, but Johnny had reached the door by that time. He was smiling naughtily looking back at Vivek.
