Sameer had returned from Bangalore at 6 in the evening and was sitting with Rakesh explaining the reason for going to Bangalore and the success of his work.

He had not informed Naina of his arrival as he was very disappointed by Patel's blackmailing. Naina was surprised to see him suddenly in front of her. As she had waited for Sameer's call whole day but he had not called her, so she had not expected him to come today and she had regretted why she angry with him.

After talking to Rakesh for a while, he went to the room to freshen up, Naina also went behind him. Sameer flopped down on the sofa and stretching his arms lazily.

"Sameer aapke kapde nikal deti hun." Naina said going to his cupboard and took out his clothes from the cupboard and went to him to give it to him.

Sameer got up from the sofa and grabbed his dresses from her hand and thanked her without any expression on his face.

Naina felt strange and asked. "Sameer aapke liye coffee bana dun, thakan utar jaayegi."

"Hmmm." He hummed without looking at her.

"Theek hai to aap fresh ho jaiye tab tak aapke liye coffee bana ke le aati hun." She said in a soft voice.

"Yahan room me lane ki zarurat nahi hai mai neeche hi aa jaunga... itna bhi nahi thaka hun... ki neeche na aa saku." He said in rough voice and he entered the bathroom.

Naina stunned at her placed and felt bad by his curt voice and she thought, he had neither spoken to her with love nor asked about her well-being since he had returned. Nor did his eyes show the love she always felt in his deep eyes and he didn't even take her in his arms though both were alone in the room and he didn't even talk to her. She felt that he was avoiding her... but why? and she left the room thinking about his strange behaviour.

Naina made a strong coffee for Sameer that he always liked. When she served him, he took it without say anything to her again. She was hurt by his cold behavior towards her. But she restricted her emotion and asked. "Sameer aur kuch lenge... abhi dinner me time hai."

"Kuch nahi chahiye..." He replied engrossing himself talking to Rakesh.

Naina could not hold back her tears and ran towards the kitchen. As she reached the kitchen, tears brimmed up in her eyes and started thinking. "Sameer aakhir kis baat ki narazgi hai, kyo aise rudely baat kar rahe hai... kab se aapke aane ka intezaar kar rahi thi... par aap to aise behave kar rahe hai jaise maine bahut badi galti ki ho... ek baar bhi nahi puchha kaisi hun."

As soon as she heard someone's footsteps, wiped away her tears and pretended that she was busy in work.

"Naina..." Sameer called her name in a soft voice.

She turned immediately thinking he must have come for her but her hope shattered to hear his next sentence.

"Wo papaji ghar jana chahate the par maine unhe aaj raat rukne ke liye mana liya hai... to dinner unki pasand ka bana dena." He said standing at the threshold of the kitchen.

"Ji... aur kuch chahiye." She asked with the hope that he would come to her and show his love as usual.

"Nahi...bas dinner thoda jaldi bana dena... mujhe jaldi sona hai." He said in a normal voice this time. When Naina had walked towards the kitchen, he felt, tears in her eyes and thought she probably sad by his behavior.

In the dinner time Naina served them their favorite meal. As she had served both and she stood there looking at them, without filling the plate for herself.

Sameer waited for a while for her to have dinner with them, but when he didn't see any sign from her side to eat together, he glanced at her once and then he started to eat, muttering. "Abhi bhi gussa hai...jab tak nahi kahunga nahi khayegi kya?... ya phir mere saath dinner nahi karna hai."

Rakesh noticed their sad face and said to Naina. "Tu kyo kadi hai... khana nahi hai kya?."

"Umm.. Papa....Wo....mai...ba." But Rakesh interrupted her.

"Ye kya badbada rahi hai chal baith hamare saath." Rakesh ordered her.

Naina sat on the chair and took out the meal in a plate for her. As she started eating, a pleasant smile played on his lips and thanked his father in law inwardly to fulfil his wish.

When Naina returned the room after finished her kitchen work, Sameer was working on some files. She changed into her night dress and sat on the bed waiting for him to join her. As she had missed his presence, his romantic talks and his love every night. After sometime he came to the bed and she asked about his meeting, but he excused he was tired and lay down on his side facing his back to her. She was sat at dumfounded as his silent behaviour was killing her since evening. As he had returned he was not talk to her softly nor angrily that was strange to her.

After a while she thought, she should be asked the reason so she turned his face towards her and shocked to see his eyes damp.

She panicked and her heart started beating fast. "Sameer kya hua hai... aapki aankhon me aasun."

Sameer sat on the bed and burst into tears, with grief and despair at not handling his nanu business properly as he had wanted. "Naina.... aaj... aaj mai...haar gaya...Nanu ka Sameer haar gaya." And tears that he hold since long time now rolling on his face.

She wondered seeing his state that something big must have happened there that Sameer had broken down like this. She hugged him and patted his back to give solace him. She parted him after a while and wiped his tears. She cupped his face and asked looking into his eyes.

"Sameer ab bataiye kya hua hai...Papa se to aapne kaha tha ki problem sort out ho gai to phir.... kya hua hai Sameer?... please bataiye Sameer aisa kya hua jisne aapko aise tod diya hai." She asked in a heavy voice.

But he did not say anything and looked at her face with a blank expression.

"Please... kya aap apni Naina ko bhi nahi batayenge." She asked sweetly.

Then he first composed himself and told Naina everything how Mr. Patel blackmailed him by taking advantage of Nanu's reputation.

"Naina jo compensation amount aaj hamne diya hai, uss se hamari company ko bahut bada loss hua hai, shayad hame staff cutting karke production double karna pade... us patel ne bahut ghatiya khel khela hai usne hamare situation ka fayda uthaya hai... aisa lag rah hai Naina, mai Nanaji ki company ko sambhalne ke kabil nahi hun, mera khud se vishwas uth gaya hai... khud ko hara hua mahsoos kar raha hun." He was totally devasted by what had happened in the Bangalore. He needed a support from someone who could understand his feelings, who could not judge him only understand his pain.

Naina felt his pain deeply and his defeated words were pricked in her heart. She tried to soothe him. "Aisa nahi hai Sameer, aise negetive thoughts apne mann se nikal dijiye... life me aise chote mote problem to aate rahte hai, dekhiyega ye bhi jaldi hi chala jayega... aur kisne kaha ki aap nanaji ki company ko sambhal nahi sakte, Sameer aapka hard work hi hai ki aaj Maheshwari industries top 10 me hai." She consoled him wiping his tears.

But he was not in a state to comprehend anything and regretted. "Naina yahan mai tumhara sapna pura nahi kar paya aur vahan company ka itne bade loss se nahi bacha paya, mai sab taraf se fail ho gaya... na ek achcha husband ban paya na ek achcha beta... Naina kya mai apne sabhi rishte achche se nibha sakta hun aur nanu ka business handle karne ke capable hun?"

Naina terrified seeing his condition and thoughts as he had lost his confidence and she consoled him while boosting up his confidence. "Kisne kaha ki aap capable nahi hai... Aap to world ke best husband hai jo apni wife ka dur rah kar bhi pura dhayan rakte hai use koi taklif nahi hone dete... uske har phaisale ka samman karte hai...i am proud of that i am wife of Mr. Sameer Maheshwari... wo Sameer jo har rishton ko maan dena jante hai aur apni responsibility ko bakhubi pura karna bhi jante hai... aap ek best bete hone ke saath saath ek best pati bhi hai... samjhe Mr." She said pinching his nose.

He made a pout face and she gestured him to keep his head on her lap. She stroked his hair gently that he slept on her lap after a while. She adored his innocent face and apologized him.

"Sorry Sameer vahan aap tension me the aur mai yahan bewajah aapse naraz thi aur us din aapke gusse ke pichhe ki vajah bhi nahi samjha payi...Sameer aap nahi mai ek patni ke rup me fail ho gai jo aapke gusse me chhipi nirasha ko nahi samajh saki... lekin aage se hamesha aapke dukh ko samajh kar use dur karne ki koshish karungi." And she kissed his forehead.

In the middle of the night Sameer sleep was disturb by the sound of dog barking and he found himself sleeping with his head on her lap. He lifted his face and saw she was sleeping uncomfortable position, resting her head on the headboard. He got up quietly then he made her lay down on her place. She opened her eyes when he was laying her on her place comfortably and she called him in sleepy voice. "Sameer... aap" but he kept his finger on her lips to stopping her "shhh." She closed her eyes again and slept holding his hands. He kissed her forehead sleeping beside her, taking her in his arms.

***********

The next morning when he opened his eyes, he found his wife staring him with much fondness.

"Haye kitne dino baad ye khubsurat subah dekhane ko mila hai... my beautiful wife staring me." He lifted up his face with a joyous smile and rested his face on his palm.

Naina lowered her eyes in blushing and happy as her old Sameer was back that she missed him terribly last day.

"Haaye ye sharm...tumhe pata hai ise maine kitna miss kiya..." He said in a husky voice touching her crimson cheeks. "lekin tum bhi badi ziddi ho thoda sa gussa kya ho gaya tumne to baat karna hi band kar diya... Tumhari aawaj sunne ke liye kitna tarsa hun... pata hai tumhe." He said making a sad face.

Naina smiled at his antique expression and said apologetically. "Sorry Sameer mai na pagal hun...mujhe samjhana chahiye tha ki vahan aap meeting ki vajah se tension me honge, aapko samjhane ki jagah gussa kar baithi." She hold her ears.

He downed her hands and kissed her palm. "Naina sorry to mujhe bhi bolna hai...sorry jaan..." He apologized. "Mana ki mai gussa tha par tum par aise chillana nahi chahiye tha..." He said feeling guilty and sat up on the bed while thinking about last night.

"Naina kal tum gussa thi na isliye tum mere saath dinner nahi karna chahati thi... agar papaji nahi kahate to shayad tum nahi karti." He asked raised his brows and his face became sullen.

Naina was bewildered at his sudden question and looked him with astonishment how could he think like this. She thought of teasing him.

"Haa to gussa to houngi na...Kitne din baad vapas aaye the aur aise behave kar rahe the jaise mai koi ajanabi hun... pyaar se baat karna to dur ek nazar utha kar bhi nahi dekha. Aur khane ke liye bhi nahi bola..." She made a cute face and showed a fake annoyance at him.

"Achcha ji.... ye baat hai... to abhi uski kami  puri kar dete hai." He winked her.

And he leaned forward cupping her face. But the next moment he frowned as she covered his lips by her palm, only few inches away for touching of her soft cheek.

"Abhi nahi Sameer please ... papa neeche wait kar rahe honge." She pleaded.

He straightened himself and said making a grumpy face. "Kya yaar Naina... jab pyaar jatao to problem... na jatao to problem...tumhe sab ka khayal hai siway mere...saara mood kharab kar diya... ab se no romance." And he turned away his face from her.

"Raat me bhi nahi..." She chuckled.

"Haa nahi... jao na tum... yahan kyo time waste kar rahi ho." He irritated.

"Lekin abhi ek kaam baki hai wo to kar lun.." She smirked.

"Kya." He perplexed looking at her.

And Naina kissed his both cheeks in a fraction of second and before he could react she dashed to the bathroom. He froze and eyes widened as decipher what he felt just a few seconds ago. He touched his cheeks with blushing. He mumbled. "You are beyond my imagination my sweetheart."

After sometime she came out of the bathroom and saw her husband laying on the bed staring her. She blushed by his intense gaze on her. She waited him, standing in front of mirror but seeing no movement in him she surprised as he had never missed any chance to romance.

"Sameer aap thake huye lag rahe hai aaj office thoda late chale jayenge... abhi thodi der so jaaiye mai baad me utha dungi..." She said concernly as looked back him and felt maybe he was tired.

But Sameer refused as he was desperate to know the mystery person who cheated the Maheshwari industry. "Naina abhi sone ka time nahi hai, tum jaldi se breakfast bana do aaj jaldi office jana hai." He got up quickly and went to bathroom after taking his clothes from his cupboard.

As Naina went to down stairs, Rakesh asked about Sameer. He wanted to go to home but Naina stopped him saying. "Papa breakfast karke jaiye na... tab tak Sameer bhi aa jayenge, aap baithiye mai aapke liye chai lati hun." She strode to the kitchen.

After sometime Sameer came downstairs with the office bag. He first greeted to Rakesh and chatted with him about Arjun and other family members.

When Naina had prepared breakfast, called them. She also had breakfast with them as Sameer insisted her. After breakfast Rakesh got up for going home and Sameer offered him that he will drop him the house. Rakesh protested as he would be late and after a while he agreed seeing Sameer insistence.

************

Sameer was sitting on the chair in his cabin and Munna and Munshiji both were sitting opposite to him lost in some thought. Sameer said breaking their trance.

"Aise sochate rahne se kuch nahi hoga... letter kaise gayab ho sakta hai... aap dono ne achche se check kiya." Sameer asked disgruntledly.

"Maine sab jagah dekh liya yahan tak ki ghar me bhi dekh liya ... kahi nahi mila." Munshiji replied.

"Maine bhi Sameer... tune apne cabin me dekha shayad galti se yahan aa gaya ho." Munna asked.

"Check kar liya hai nahi mila... iss to yahi conclusion nikalta hai ki kisi ne wo letter janbujh kar gayab kiya gaya hai... taki hamari company ko loss ho aur iska pura phayada uss Patel ne uthaya hai." Sameer was seething in anger remembering Mr. Patel's blackmailing as he had never felt helpless like this.

Hearing Sameer conclusion Munna commented. "Sameer teri baat sun kar mujhe lagta hai... kahi in sab me wo Patel hi to nahi hai kyonki letter gayab hone se sabse jyada phayada uski ka hua hai... Shayad usi ne ye kaam karwaya ho hamare kisi employee se...mai sirf guess kar raha hun shayad aisa ho sakta hai." Munna was not confident about his thinking.

"Jab Munshiji aapne letter office se gayab hone wali baat batayi thi tab mere mann me bhi yahi baat aayi thi par mai sure nahi tha... lekin letter ka aise puri tarah se gayab ho jana to yahi show kar raha hai ki hamare hi koi employee inn sab ke pichhe hai...Ab bas ye pata lagana hai ki wo hai koun aur kya iske pichhe sach me Patel ka haath hai... Agar aisa hua to us Patel ko mai chodunga nahi." Sameer grumbled.

"Par hum pata kaise lagayenge." Munshiji confused.

"I have an idea...Aap ek ghante baad ek meeting arrange kariye jisme sare employee hone chahiye... aur aap dono jaisa mai kahun vaisa hi kariyega... no objection." Sameer ordered them firmly.

They both nodded their head with confused as both of them had no idea what Sameer was going to do next.

After an hour, except for Sameer everyone was present in the conference hall. All the employees were surprised by the sudden meeting, they all were presuming why the meeting was held urgently. Some employee asked Munshiji the reason, but he refused, saying that he too did not know the reason like them, he only arranged the meeting as per Sameer's order.

Sameer entered in the hall with a file and he once glanced to everyone. He sat on the chair and addressed all his employee.

"Aap sab ke mann me bahut se sawal honge ki maine achanak se meeting kyo rakha hai... Lekin uss se pahle aap sab ko janna zaruri hai ki last do din mai kahan tha..." He said in a serious tone and observed everyone expression. Then he said again. "Mai aur Manoj Bangalore me the kyonki Mr. Patel ne hamare company pe blame kiya hai ki hamne unhe defective and low quality ka material supply kiya hai."

Everyone shocked to hear his information and Sameer asked an employee. "Mr. Anuj aap ke paas hi hoti hai na sare material ke dispatch ki jankari aur aap ki jimmedari hai ki dispatch se pahle unn material ki quality check kare... phir itni badi galti kaise hui."

Anuj was frightened hearing his sharp voice. "Sir maine pura material check kar ke bheja tha... hamari company ki isme koi galti nahi hai... aap ko yakin na ho to Sudeep se puch sakte hai wo bhi wahi tha hum dono ne har box ko check kiya tha..." He immediately replied.

"Okay... Meeting ke baad aap Mr. Patel ko jo material dispatch kiya gaya hai uski file lekar mere cabin me aayenge." Sameer ordered Anuj and again turned everyone attention towards him.

"Ye to confirm hai ki hamari company se unhe sahi material bheja gaya tha... Phir unke paas material pahucha wo defective kaise ho gaya... aur unki company ki taraf iski information ke liye jo letter aaya tha, wo hamare office se kaise gayab ho gaya... is vajah se humari company ko aaj itna bada loss hua hai... kisi ke paas hai iska answer?... tell me." He asked strictly.

And seeing everyone quiet he told his upcoming decision that he had taken last night. "So maine decide kiya hai agar 2 mahine ke andar production double nahi hua to mujhe majburan ye company band karni padegi.." And showing a file he said. "Ya phir staff cutting karni padegi... iss file me sab employee ki details hai... jinka performance weak hai unka naam top list hai... so everyone alert and do your best performance."

Everyone taken aback by this news with Munna and Munshiji. Sameer tried to notice any changes on their face. Just then a peon knocked on the door and Sameer allowed him to come inside. He handed over an envelope to Sameer.

Sameer again focused his mind in front of him and said. "Ye pahli bar hua hai jab hamare office se aisi koi official letter chori hua hai... aur ye kaam hamare office ke kisi employee ne kiya hai... aur iss envelope me uska naam hai jisne wo letter chori kiya hai par mai use apni galti sudharne ka ek mauka dena chahata hun to jis kisi ne bhi ye kaam kiya hai aaj sham tak aakar mujhse maafi mang le.... varna aap sab ko pata hai ek baar agar Maheshwari industry se nikale gaye to phir kahi job nahi milegi aur police case banega wo alag... puri life barbaad ho jayegi." He said in a stern tone as he had thought he would admit his mistake for fear of the police.

He gave the letter Munna saying. "Munna isse mere drawer me rakh dena agar uss person ne apni galti confess nahi ki to kal morning me sab ke samne ye letter khulega aur pata chalega aakhir wo cheater hai koun."

Munna and Munshiji were shocked as he had not told both of them about the closure of the company and knew the name of the person. Munna grabbed the envelope and nodded his head with daze. Then the meeting was over and all the employees started gossiping about the letter.

After lunch Munna forcefully entered in Sameer cabin where he was sitting with his head resting on the chair and his eyes closed. He seemed very calm.

"Sameer ye sab kya hai." Munna said putting the letter on the table.

"Kya?...kya hai." He asked opening his eyes.

"Jab tujhe uss aadmi ka naam pata hai to bataya kyo nahi... kal tak ka intezaar kyo karna." Munna annoyed and questioned him. "Aur tu Maheshwari industry band karne wala hai?."

Sameer said him to close the door and when he came back after closing the door, he gestured for him to sit down and said. "Iss letter me kuch nahi hai."

"Kya..?." Munna shocked. "To phir kyo bola ki isme us insaan ka naam hai."

"Use darane ke liye... jisse wo police ke dar kar apni galti maan lega, ya phir ho sakta hai iss letter ko chori karne ki koshish kare aur hum use pakad le... aur rahi baat company band katne ki to tujhe lagta hai ki mai ye company band karunga... Kabhi nahi.. ye to sirf employees ko shock dene ke liye taki wo job khone ke dar se jyada lagan se kaam kare aur ham iss loss ko cover kar sake." He told his plan. After much deliberation, he came up with this idea.

"Ye to theek hai lekin uss aadmi ne apni galti nahi mani aur kal office nahi aaya to." Munna asked about the possibility.

"Phir kal jo office nahi aayega maan lena vahi in sab ke pichhe hai." Sameer said with dermination.

"Yaar ye to mast plan hai... par tune ye plan banaya kab." Munna excited.

Sameer told that he called the peon after their departure and inquired about that day from him. Then told him what he needed and what he had to do. He was happy that the peon did as he had instructed him.

It was time to go home, but so far no one had come to admit their mistake. Almost all the staff was gone. Sameer also left with Munna.

It had been an hour since, a man opened the gate and came inside the office. And went straight to Sameer's cabin. He opened the drawer of his table and began to search for the envelope. But there were only files, there were no envelopes. He muttered. "Yahan to koi safed lifafa nahi hai."

As he turned to search another place, Sameer was standing at the door with Munna and Munshiji. The man was shocked to see them.

Sameer and Munna approached him and Sameer hit his stomach in anger and yelled. "To wo tu hai jisne Maheshwari industry ko dokha diya aur letter churaya ... bata ye sab tune kyo kiya." He punched on his stomach again.

Munshiji also came to him and said in a surprise voice. "Shyam... mai to soch bhi nahi sakta tha ki tu aisa neech kaam karega.. bade malik ne tere bachhon ki padhai ke liye kya kuch nahi kiya aur tune unke saath gaddari ki...tujhe unhone yahan ka guard banaya kar surksha ki jimmedari di thi aur tune chori jaise paap kiya... kya issi din ke liye bade malik ne tujhe noukari par rakha tha... ki tu unhe dhokha de..."

That person's name was Shyam.  He was the guard of the Maheshwari industry that had come to steal the letter. Nanaji, seeing his financial condition deteriorating, had appointed him as the guard of his company.

Shyam was feeling guilty and realized his mistake. "Sahab hame maaf kar dijiye...Wo paison ke lalach me bahak gaya tha...Hum kabhi malik ko dhokha dene ka soch bhi nahi sakte unki wajah se hi to aaj hum yahan hai, meri mati maari gai thi jo uss aadmi ki baaton me aa gaya..." He said crying and guilt had shown in his tears.

"Kis aadami ki baaton me." Munna asked.

"Sahab...wo aaj dopahar ko ek aadmi aaya tha aur hame kaha ki Sameer sahab ke cabin me ek lifafa rakha hai, use lakar denge to wo hame 5 hazar dega... pahle to humne mana kar diya sahab phir mere hotho me do hazar rakh diye aur kaha ki baaki ka paisa raat ko kaam ho jane ke baad dega... sahab hame paison ki bahut zarurat thi aur itne rupye dekh kar neeyat kharab ho gayi. " He admitted his mistake.

"Iss letter ke 5 hazar mile to pahle wale ke liye kitna mila tha.. wo bhi bata de ab." Munna shouted holding his collor.

"Sahab hum aaj pahli baar aaye hai, aap koun si letter ki baat kah rahe hai hame pata nahi... maine koi letter nahi churaya." Shyam told that he did not know about the letter which Munna was asking him about.

"Jhuth mat bolo... tumne hi churaya tha na pahle bhi." Munna asked.

"Sachchi sahab, hame kuch nahi pata... aaj pahli baar aaye hai apne bachho ki kasam kha ke kahte hai." He sweared while pinching in his neck.

"Munna chod de use... Achcha to uss aadmi ka naam batao jisne tumhe ye karne ko kaha tha." Sameer said dejectedly.

"Hamne uska chehara nahi dekha sahab usne kapda bandha hua tha... Sahab hamse bahut badi galti ho gai jo uski baat maan li... Please sahab hame noukari se mat nikaliyega." Shyam pleaded in front of Sameer making a sad face.

"Tum abhi jao kal iske baare me sochenge." Sameer felt helpless as his plan had spoiled.

"Please sahab." Shyam again pleaded to see his infuriated face.

"Jao kaha na." He yelled.

And he slammed his fist on the table in frustration. "Bada shatir nikla khud aane ki jagah kisi dusre ko bhej diya...."

He immediately shouted to think something. "Munna rok use."

Munshiji called Shyam who had gone two or three steps out of the cabin and Shyam returned back to the cabin with a scared face.

"Ji sahab humse aur koi galti ho gai." Shyam asked fearly.

"Achcha ye batao wo letter tum use kab dene wale the..." Sameer asked.

"Sahab usne mujhe kaha tha wo 8 baje aakar lifafa lega aur baki ke paise dega bas mai uska kaam kar ke rakhu." Shyam told the person's plan.

Sameer looked at his watch and he ordered to Munna. "Abhi aadha ghanta hai 8 banne me...Munna tu jaa car ko building ke pichhe park kar de jisse kisi ko pata na chale ki hum yahan hai." And looking at Shyam he said. "Aur shyam tum uss aadmi se kahna ki wahan bahut saare letter the to tumhe samajh nahi aaya ki koun sa hai...tum chaho to jakar dekh sakte ho."

"Sahab wo nahi mana to." Shayam asked.

"Tumhe kisi bhi tarah use yahan bhejana hoga... hum yahi chhupe rahenge tum abhi bahar se gate lock kar dena... jisse use shaq na ho." Sameer instructed him and Shyam nodded his head.

After that Munna parked the car behind the office and came back to the office then Shyam closed the main gate of the office building and went to the main gate of the office premises. Sameer and Munna were inside the office and Munshiji hid outside the office to keep an eye on Shyam. Sameer had informed Naina that he would be late. Everything was set according to Sameer's plan.

*************

An hour later a man covered his face with a cloth entered the office and approached near Sameer cabin. He unlocked of the cabin and started looking for the envelope in the drawer. He shuffled the files in despair as he did not find the letter. Just then he heard the sound of clapping and the manly voice and his gaze shifted at the door to see the person.

"Ye dhundh rahe the..." Sameer said showing an envelope.

The person was stunned and tried to escape from there but Munna caught him and removed the scarf from his face after much struggle. He was shocked to see the person and was about to falter but Sameer held him from behind and he took sometime to absorb what he saw it was true.

Munna uttered in trembling voice. "Gi...Girish tum ho inn sab ke pichhe... "  As he still wasn't sure if his brother was behind all this.

Seeing his lowered face his every confusion cleared and shouted him. "Maine tumhe apna bhai samajh kar yahan job dilwayi thi, socha tha mann laga kar kaam karega aur tune hamari hi company se itni badi dhokhebaji ki.. aaj teri vajah se company ko itna nuksan hua.... mai to uss din ko kos raha hu jab maine chacha ke kahne par tujhe yahan job par lagwaya tha."

But the person interrupted Munna. "Koi ehsaan nahi kiya tha aapne.... ek mamuli si noukari hi dilwayi thi... isse achhi job to mai dhundh leta."

Sameer lost his temper and slapped him tightly while shouting at him. "To tu company ko cheat karega... Agar job pasand nahi thi to chhod deta, aise dhokha dene ki kya zarurat thi... aur attitude to aise hai jaise bahut mahan kam kiya ho." He punched him in the stomach that he fell to the ground.

Munna picked him up and also slapped him and said. "Mujhe to sharm aa rahi hai ki tu mera bhai hai."

But Girish interrupted him and said. "Haa to kya karta bhaiya, mai aapke jaise gulam ban ke nahi rah sakta... Mera ek sapna hai ki mai  bhi ek company ka manager banu sab mujhe pahchane aur mujhe respect de.... aur mai ek mamuli si naukari me bandh kar nahi rahna chahata tha... aise me mujhe Mr. Patel samne se offer de rahe the... to unka offer maan kar maine koi galat nahi kiya... Maheshwari industry ki iss naukari me saari zindagi nikal jati par mere sapne kabhi pure nahi hote... Udhar Mr. Patel iss kaam ke badle mujhe unke ek branch ka manager banane wale hai... to phir apne sapne pure karne ke liye unke offer maan kar maine koi galat nahi kiya jiske liye mujhe koi pachtawa ho." He said proudly and looked at both shocked face.

Munna got angry hearing the committed of his deed from his mouth. "Sameer police ko phone kar iss jaise dhokebaaz ki na hi office ko aur na hi ghar ko zarurat hai... agar tujhe bada aadmi hi banna tha to job chod deta... kyo diya dhokha." He held his collar and started to punch him.

Sameer felt Munna was not his sense and he parted both. He pondered Munna said in this just out of anger, so he tried to calm him. "Shant ho ja Munna... Police bulane ki zarurat nahi hai hum koi dusra rasta nikal lenge." And looking at Girish he rebuked. "Aur tum ye mat samjhana ki maine tumhe chod diya... agar tum Munna ke bhai nahi hote to tumhe aisi saza dilwata ki kahi noukari milna mushkil ho jata .. phir karte rahte apne sapne pure...get out of my vision."

Girish about to go there but Sameer again stopped him. "Aur suno tumhare Mr. Patel ko kah dena usne jo ye ganda khel khela hai na uski keemat chukane ko taiyaar rahe... Mr. Sameer jaiprakash Maheshwari se panga lena use bahut bhari padega...."

"Jaa raha hun aur kabhi mud kar bhi nahi dekhunga Maheshwari industry ko." Girish said with attitude and glanced both walking out of the cabin.

When Girish left, Munna apologized him as he felt that somewhere he was the reason of the loss of the company. "Sameer mujhe isse pahchanne me galti ho gai...Maine socha tha ghar ka ladka hai apni company samajha kar kaam karega... par yahan to jis par vishwas kiya usi ne dhokha de diya...Sorry yaar meri vajah se company ko itna nuksaan hua... tujhe use police me dena chahiye tha kamse kam use apni galti ka ahsaas hota."

Sameer kept a hand on his shoulder. "Munna tu kyo apne ko responsible maan raha hai teri koi galti nahi hai tujhe thode na pata tha ki Girish aisa karega...Jahan tak police complaint ka sawal hai abhi tu gusse me sab kah raha hai shayad baad me tujhe hi afsosh ho... aur Girish ko bahut jald apni galti ka ahsaas hoga dekh lena... use kya lagta hai wo Patel ise manager banayega... kabhi nahi...ye uska kaam nikalne ka tarika tha bas aur kuch nahi."

Munna hugged him instantly and cried, Sameer consoled him patting his back.
