‘Trying is not enough. I need hundred percent votes in our favour. Do you understand?’ Manan said angrily.
‘Yes, sir’
‘Who is in-charge there?’ Manan asked. ‘Kanav Aggarwal.’
‘Fuck! The boss thinks he can handle the business, but in my opinion he is useless. That idiot is good for nothing. There might have been a time when he was of good use. Today, he is a big zero. He is just a waste. Did you hear me, he is just a waste! You people are idiots!’ Manan infuriated and banged his hand on the dash board.
‘But sir…’ Bhavan tried to say something.

'Bhavan, did you check the CCTV footage?’ Sourav sir asked. ‘Yes, sir. I checked it.’ ‘Okay. Switch it on again. I want to see it.’ Bhavan showed him the footage. It did not show the car they were looking for. But Sourav sir saw that the screen showed a trailer leaving the premises at the same time when Bhavan was entering to seal the place. His suspicion was aroused immediately. He had the hunch of a policeman that Aditi had been taken out of Eagle Motors in that trailer. He asked Bhavan to trace the trailer. Bhavan found out the information and conveyed it to Sourav sir. They lost no time and began to look for the trailer. It was found standing abandoned on the left side of the Ring Road.

The water splashed on the wheels of the passing train. I seemed to enjoy the act. My bike was now drenched in water and mud. Aditi was unwilling to sit on it. ‘It is yucky. I am not going to sit on this. Clean it first,’ she said in protest. ‘How do I clean it now, Aditi? I do not have clean water and cloth to do it,’ I said. ‘That’s not my problem. Clean it first,’ she said firmly. ‘Ok, Aditi,’ I said giving up. I did not have any cloth. So, I took out my handkerchief, and cleaned to the extent I could. ‘Ok. Can we go now?’ I said. ‘No,

Friends always have empathy. I apologised to Vineet for my cussed behaviour. He took it sportingly and I thanked him for being a sport. ‘Idiot, saying thanks to your friend! It is not done,’ said Vineet and whacked my back. I was glad Vineet and I had cleared the misunderstanding. Aditi was standing close by and said, ‘Everything fine now, Yohan?’ ‘Yes, thanks, Aditi.

I entered the office. Two buyers were present there. I placed my bag on the table, took out four t-shirts from the bag and spread them out on the table. ‘Gentlemen, these are four different t-shirts,’ I said after exchanging pleasantries with them. ‘Yes,’ said one of the two buyers, looking at me. ‘But what if I tell you, these are not four different t-shirts but the same?’ ‘What do you mean?’ ‘If I tell you that actually this is the same t-shirt, of same design, same colour,’ I said pointing to the t-shirts sequentially, ‘Only the first shirt from the left has been washed once, the second has been washed twice, the third three times and the fourth, four times,’ I said. I was beginning to sound like a seasoned salesman. One buyer was confused. He said, ‘But they all look different!’ ‘Precisely so, we are launching a new product in the market; a t-shirt that looks new after every wash. The customer buys one t-shirt but gets a new t-shir

I asked my heart, ‘Hey my heart, why are you beating so fast? ‘That is my business.’ it replied. ‘Okay. That’s good. But why so fast?’ ‘Don’t worry. I beat for someone.’ ‘For who?’ ‘Aditi,’ my heart replied. I shook away the thought. I got up and went to the washroom to freshen up. I came to my bed to check my phone, if there was any call. The battery was dead. I thought for a while. At night the charge in the battery of the phone was around 70. I was not able to understand how it drained from seventy to zero. I had not used my phone at night. ‘Never mind’, I said to myself, and I plugged it in for charge. I thought of calling Aditi but decided to call her after my breakfast. Meanwhile the phone battery would be charged. I went to the dining table. Dad was alrea
