Silent Love – 21

Continued from previous post –

Lunch is over but Rohini was feeling very much nervous and she decides to leave the office and go home. Actually Rohit’s proposal and Vaishali’s suggestion of inviting Mahendra had gone on her nerves. She was feeling terribly restless, doing regular office work in such condition was not possible, and so she tells her assistant Smita that she feels uneasy and so wishes to take a break for the day. Smita was not only her assistant but a good confidante; she could understand Rohini’s condition and advises her to stay in the office, even if she does not do any work it does not matter but in case she goes home under any pretext it shall give some signals to the opposite side and may turn out to be of serious consequences. Smita boldly tells her mind to Rohini and insists that she not leave the office on the ground that she feels sick!

“I understand your concern but if Mr. Joshi calls me for any work I shall find it difficult to go to him, you know!” Rohini to Smita. Rohini feels the quiver of her body at the very idea that Mr. Joshi may call her for some work!

“Can we find some out side work such as visiting Labour department? You find out some excuse so that we shall leave the office to visit that department and by that excuse we shall be out of his office so that Mr. Joshi or even Rohit will not be able to call you!” Smita

“Yes, there are quite a few things I have to go and personally see in that place. It is a wonderful idea, Smita you are a genius!” Rohini appreciates her suggestion. They pack up for the office and Rohini phones to Mr. Joshi and tell him that she is visiting Labour Department for routine check ups. They move out quickly before any body notices them. When outside of the office and in the lift Rohini hugs Smita and even kiss her on her cheek to thank her for her help.

“Now what shall we do? Are we really going to that department?” Smita asks with a smirk. Rohini joins her in that smirk but tells her that since we have told Joshi that we are going there we must make at least a cursory visit to complete the alibi. They sit in Rohini’s nano and move out of the office premises swiftly. While on the move Rohini calls Mahendra and asks him how things are at home. Mahendra tells her that Lily is come and wants to learn a few things from him about cooking recipes and they both are busy making some delicious cookies, tells her that she can enjoy them as she comes home! Rohini feels a sense of relief hearing Mahendra’s voice and in the middle Lily’s comments to Mahendra. She goes in her sweet dreams for a while but her concentration on the driving was not affected. They come to the Labour Department premises and enter the place. In-charge Mr. Sawant greets them and they go to her office in that place. Mr. Sawant is an old employee of the company and he knows a lot about this company. Rohini knows that and so she looking to Sawant feels that she may ask him some questions about Velkar!

Rohini is constantly looking to Sawant deep in her thoughts. At that Sawant feels a little embarrassed and nervously enquires, “What is the matter? Can I bring the files of records?”

“No, that is okay but Mr. Sawant can I ask you about the past things in this office?” Rohini

“Of course madam, you can ask for anything about this company since I was some of the most trusted men of Velkarsab!”

“What did you say, Velkarsab?” Rohini strikes back in sudden reaction.

“Do you know Mr. Velkar?” Rohini

“It may be too much to say but actually I and Velkarsab were the two who opened this department and ever since I am managing it.” Sawant

“Did Joshi not object to your being here since you say you were Velkar’s special man?” Rohini

“Joshi sir is a man interested in the matters of only sales and he seldom looks into the matters of this department.” Sawant

“That day we got some problem and I was told by Rohit sir that you solved it! Am I correct?” Sawant

“Madam the way you suggested it reminded me of Velkar! It was his style of work and the problem was due to wrong decisions of Rohit sir but you corrected. It is interesting that you and Velkar have similar approach to the labour!” Sawant

Rohini wanted to hear more about this Velkar and she asks him with a smile, “Why don’t you sit, Sawant saheb you are also a senior level employee and so need not stand like this; we can talk about your days with this Velkar. Can you tell me more about him? I am very curious about this man since every body has told me that I think the way he thinks from that day when I gave that presentation.”
