4. Investigation

Rohini was in her office as usual, there were no staff when she occupied her seat. This is the right situation to investigate about who was Mr. Velkar, she decided and move to the department of archives where all old record are kept for further references. She sat at the computer and opened the files on the computer. At that moment clerk managing the archives came in. she was the oldest employee of that firm. Rohini knew that. Rohini greeted her and the greetings were exchanged graciously by both. The clerk asked politely, “Can I help you Madam?” Rohini was a little hesitant about whether she should ask about this man Mr. Velkar to this clerk or not. For a while she said nothing but it was not possible to not say anything to the clerk since, she was the person to be consulted on the matters of archives. Rohini told her that she wants to know more about one, old time executive of the company, by name Mr. Velkar. “Oh, you want to know about him”? the clerk exclaimed. Then she was as if thinking of something quiet for some time and then told Rohini that the records of Mr. Velkar are in the file of Directors and Promoters. “Do you know him personally?” Rohini enquired to that lady clerk and kept watching her for her reaction. “Yes, Rohini I know him very well. He was a very good gentleman. Every body in the company respected him. Actually he was one of the first promoters along with Mr. Joshi, our MD.

“Where is he now?” Rohini. To this the clerk did not reply. There was eerie silence between the ladies. Rohini was impatient to know what happened to this Mr. Velkar but the clerk did not seem to be in a mood to reply. Now Rohini was irritated and pushing herself on the clerk demanded answer to that pertinent question. The clerk looked sad. She looked to Rohini and enquired why you are interested in that? Rohini did not want to say the truth and so she replied that she wants to prepare a report and there she has to mention Mr. Velkar and so she wants to know about him. The reply was not exactly satisfactory to the senior and elderly clerk but she seemed to be ready to reply. “You see Mr. Velkar simply vanished one day. Only he phoned to Mr. Joshi and told him that he will not attend the office henceforth and before Mr. Joshi ask him any explanation for that Mr. Velkar cut the phone and that is all we know about him. Rohini was terribly disturbed to hear this. Rohini took out the related folder on the computer and started looking into the index and there she saw a file named Vishwajit Vishwanath Velkar.

Now she was very close to her enquiry. She opened the file and at that precise moment a peon entered the room and told her that Mr. Rohit wants her immediately for some very urgent work in his chamber. Rohini had to leave the archives department and rushed to Rohit’s chamber. What is it she implored to Rohit. On that he laughed and said, “Nothing, just I wanted to share a cup of tea with you and that is all.” This his remark irritated Rohini so much but she controlled her temper and left the room. Rohit followed her and pleaded sorry. The office routine had begun and Rohini did not get any time to go back to the archives room and do other finding about this man. Vaishali was keenly following the movements of Rohini. She had not at all liked that this stranger has popped up in the life of her friend Rohini. She wanted Rohit and Rohini to get together and marry. Vaishali had asked the clerk in the archived department as to why Rohini had been in that place where she had never been before. The lady clerk had informed her that Rohini was wanting to know more about the CEO of the company when this company was started. Vaishali knew that Mr. Joshi had mentioned about Mr. Velkar at the meeting and so she felt that it may be because her rendering was similar to that man, Rohini wants to know about that person. she told the matter to Rohit but he did not bother about all these things.
