8 Chapter 8

The entire lavish artwork of the banquet hall with hardwoods from oaks and several gnarled and hardy trunks of teakwood, this doesn't fascinated me , because I had seen far more lousy and architectural , with carvings and design, but I did hit the reporter, it seemed like I was getting Wolfy by the edge of time, it was much worst and puking when my behaviour with media made me a snobbish lusty man, who knows how to exploit his female workers, Now I know the consequences of my quick the hit of heat moments,

frankly ,if the hitting matter would be mine only, only mine, I don't give a damn about anyone else, even if it was media but it was not my matter alone, now it had been connected to my family and to my dear ones, and most importantly my employees,without whom ,I m just a piece of flesh wearing the expensive,

My dad told me one thing , when I was younger , when I was on the verge of spoiling , that no matters what never misbehave or insult or threw a disgusting and authorized looks over your workers, let it be a maid, a servant, your driver or even a small Gardener, they are the most respectful persons in our life , who knows when a king might fall to live in rags , who knows that the workers who are working may have some dreadful past,

They are all dependent on me for their livelihood and I know how it fucking hurt to loose a job and unable to feed the rest of the house, I know it very well, the taste of bankruptcy , the humiliation over the face of the only bread whiner , when he gets dejected by his own families, I know when a wife had been living on a tattered clothes , because she can't afford to buy a single piece of cloth since 3 years , I know the looks on the childish face of those children , who had been more agile and understanding with respect to their age group , although I didn't had faced even half of these problems, but I know the problems and their wounds on the corners of the fragile hearts ,

Now the whole media was shouting over me , some media person were trying to holler my collar, but my bouncers let them back off, it was a messy scene with crumpled crowds, I hate crowded places, I m an exclusive person with my privacy , I hate when someone walks over my privacy and invade my mind which is a cunning businessman in disguise , I may not be patient but I m not the reckless one , I m growing up with my relevant tact, but it needs time,

"You tried to hurt a pillar of democracy , Mr. Shekhawat, I warn you , it won't go well , now you would be your own cause of destruction , mark my words ! This hit on my face , the blood dripping through the corner of my mouth, will count every single penny you had in your bank, " that media person told me in a full warning mode , and I flinched a little but never tried to look weak and timid, because he had spoken foul mouth about my parents, about my mother , who wasn't a slut , she was a noble woman , I know !! A real son is always known to his mother right?

"Look! ...you better shut the crap mouth of yours , because being in media doesn't gives you the right to throw dirt on the family of the concerned person , okay! And how much you know about my family ! Don't you dare to open your trashy mouth next time about anyone's family , this was your first and last lesson ! And I don't care about your hollow threats !" I tried to look brave and his overbearing nuisance was hurdling me to calm down , I never get to see low ,

"Mr. Adhiraj from punching a media person and exploiting your female workers, dominating the IT business , do we still get a chance of being the part of this press conference ?" A young female reporter asked to me , and she was very confident , she was not biased and I do like her spirit level, she looked in her mid 20's

"Well, Miss . you yourself! Are a modern lady of this country , focused and a sharp minded , I can sense , I liked that you are discussing over the facts, you all people are welcomed in this press conference, because I had to clear the doubts , I never will to do wrong , until it use my willpower to all consumed , please have your seats according to your allotted locations and we within half and hour, would be discussing the matter !" With this I addressed all the media persons, and famous personalities from every popular news channel , and after a minute, the crowd was settled, I took a relief while I adjusted the medications for that injured man,

But , the woman for whom , I was waiting impatiently was nowhere to be on my sight, I asked Mr. Gupta to call her , my manager he tried calling her but her cell phone told it was out of coverage, she never gets on time, since I had met her from her office to my house, well house thing was one of my lame reasons, just to make her life a little bit hassled , but still , She was irritated and seemed like tearing her honey comb hairs, I will never tell her that I liked her honey comb hairs, it is my secret.

Press conference was set all along , my eyes adjusting the amount of light passing through my orbs, these electrified lights with luminous intensity were digging a hole inside my eyes, my two three PR officers along with my managers were being given the seat,

I did handshake with them, Mr. Pankaj Batla was a 60's old man and was my General manager, he looks after private welfares of my company , his bald headed look with a stout belly was definitely aging him in a person, while next to him was sitting Mr. Gokul Raj , he was my executive manager he was in 40's , with lean body and long face , was seating beside my left , and then followed by Mr. Naresh Mehta He was my Department head, and at last was Mrs. Divya Kapoor , my company's HR.

One reporter stood up from the last corner , and asked me for a liable permission which I granted, and then he addressed me,

"We have learnt by our research on your company, Mr. Shekhawat , you pay well off to female workers, then why this rumours of you exploiting the young model cane into light !" He was having a serious gesture, and looked like he was not biased , he was not judgmental he just asked , what he desired to get ,

After conferring with my team , and specially with Mr. Batla, who was a very agile and wised person, he tilting his head , advised me, "I think Mr. Shekhawat , you should put it out of more feminist pictured, because we all company members, personally support the legal view of female rights ! And infact it is in our codebook !"

I nodded at him , and my eyes went for Mrs . Divya Kapoor, she was a single mother, with two children, her husband died in car accident, she was very courageous and independent lady with sharp sense of business, she was more practical and professional ,

"What do you think Mrs. Kapoor, you are yourself a member at women's club and you know me very well, if I had done wrong ! I truly know that today , you wouldn't been seating here, your view matters the lot , in both perspective, being a woman and being my company's HR", I told my personal notion to her and she bobbing her head , told in a serious tone,

Which I expected, would come out,

" Not being a feminism gives me a right to produce stereotype over the radical rights of an innocent man, to put him behind the bars , therefore Mr. Shekhawat you should proceed with your statement !"

I looked at the reporter , and after tracking my words, it was always difficult for me to open up ,sometimes people are too much open for their own liking , I don't like the way , it just makes me difficult , I don't know ! Why I makes every things difficult but there is something lacking ,

"Your questions itself hold the answer Mr, as you ,yourself accepted the fact that we follow not sexism in our company , even women are given many privileges over men , we had many beneficial schemes for a single mother , a widow woman and for the woman who are aged , then how come ! We the great employers of Blackpool private limited, may stoop so low to harass a woman , Miss Tanya may be coaxed by my rivals or whoever because her allegations are wrong !" I answered him and he after taking notes in his notepad, took his seat ,

A female reporter got up from her seat, her face spoke of her feminine and she had a look which says, "No-soul-would-be-spare " she was a bold contrasting personality and terrifying at same time ,

"Good morning Mr. Shekhawat , my name is Pooja Beniwal from bulletin reports , you said , you respect women and pays them off, according to recent survey , many office exploitation cases come from the beneficiary company , which you quoted above , so doesn't it alter your previous statement ?"

Her question had a twist and it was making me feel obligated towards the answer , which i had to give in any how manner , I m not that hypocritical person , but when the whole damn thing was a one night stand , how come I become a exploiter , and how come she become a victim !

For moment, I was speechless , like I was trapped in between the middle of the sea , where strong tides are ready to drown my lifeboat, I gulped thrice, and grabbed the plastic bottles which had been arranged for us in front of our seat , my sweat beads were forming over my forehead, my hands were trembling and situation was not in my favor, I was about to babble something , but then an another reporter from the middle stood up , he was a bald man , from his appearance he looked like a chain snatcher , who was very expert to snatch his shares of news from any indebted person,

"Mr. Shekhawat! Miss Tanya had told us , that you threatened her family to be killed , was it true ! , according to her statement , she said , " you used to coax her by meddling the name of her family and giving her a threat to massacre her whole family , when she didn't surrender !"

My head was spinning , it was getting too damn ugly, I had never ever threatened anyone's family to be put in such danger, no matters , how the worst situation was, it was like gulping a liquor of venom, and where was that damn ex wife of mine, I swear, if she won't come here by dragging her Texas like ass, she will be the one in danger , my eyes flickered and no answers were coming out, if I did any idiocy with my blabbering mouth, it won't earn me any good, I tried to remain calm , but again a question shot up my mind ,

"Some resources are saying , that you had impregnated Miss Srinivas, and after you found about your accidental deed, you harassed her to abort your child and even , she had an abortion "

And that was it, it was end of my patience , they had taken it too far , which knows , no boundaries, no limit and nothing , I stood up , my fist balled and my sweat was tensing my eyebrows, I had never ever did that cruel and brutal thing in my life, killing an infant , how far does this woman had gone for grabbing such nasty attention, my depression is tugging me by my arm , my eyes were freaking with anger balls burning ,

"You motherfucker , how dare you put such bogus imputation over me, didn't your thick skull got my signal, I was being patient with poise , but these nasty remarks about me , is all false, how can I kill a child , who hasn't even been born to this world, it's a gift of god to every mother, how could I snatch that pride of motherhood from any woman , " I rushed towards him to just have my boxing skills to disfigured his ass head.

But my colleagues happened to quickly got to know about my hankering mind to beat the shit out of that reporter and stopped me ,

"Please cure your turbulence , Mr. Shekhawat , they are knowingly instigating you to behave like some barbaric , but you know power of silence is the cradle of winner ." Mr. Batla spoke some wise owl's words into my ear, and I tried to straighten my back and to relax my self .

"This is going exactly opposite , to which we were expecting in a manner, !" Mrs. Kapoor showed her regret.

And , I know exactly , why ? Because of that Srijita Sanyal , that shrewd woman , who was always a mistake in my life, infact ,

I was the fool to think that she must be given a chance to enter in my life, but I should have better learned from my past , that this woman was a self centered , cunning and only a over obsessed career driven girl , who knew how to take revenge , it was all her game plan , she indeed took a great revenge by playing in forefront , I should be the one who is known as a player, but here that damn little temptress , outshone my pride, now just wait ! Miss Srijita Sanyal , you are indebted to me , you have to pay it with all your life to be sacrificed.

" why are you keeping your wit shut ,Mr . Shekhawat , is it the way you treat the people , whom you , yourself had request to wash the doubts of your debauchery !" The senior journalist showed a dissatisfaction to my prime silence ,

"Mr. Narendra , I m very sorry sir, I don't know , how ! But it seems that Mr. Shekhawat has been feeling unwell today , so can we take it slow , if you agree ?" Mr. Gupta spoke for me , and Mr. Narendra the reporter was about to shook his head ,

but there was a thump at the door , and there stood my enemy , she was Tanya Srinivas , itself , standing with all over red body fitted knee length dress, her hairs were straight , being a pity petite in guise, she knew how to make charm do its work , and every reporters now turned for her ,

there were lots of clicks and applauses, she was showing a look of victim , and was pretending it very well that , no one can figure it out , what she has been up to , her eyes had the malicious glint , which was only perceived by my eyes, I knew her real skin behind the mask which she had been wearing , her ticktock of heels drummed the floor of the hall , and she marched to the alley , which leads to our panel , I knew she would be playing her cards of wheedles,

"No zipper is opened , when a horrible crime is done , " she threw her sly smile towards me , which made my blood boils with more anger, it was only because of that Srijita ,

"Miss Sanyal , you took an unwelcome entry in today's press conference , which has been telecasted live on various TV channels , what's the reason ?" One of the reported hunched before her, and she faking her tears , making guilty face, answered in her croaking voice, well it was all sugar coated ,

"It doesn't matter, if I was being welcomed or not , but I was unable to see the insult and ill treatments which you were being witnessing , how could I stop myself from coming here to support you , because you, the media is my only pillar of justice " her words were perfectly scripted and well written , she tried to shed more tears, while media was supporting her drama,

"Mr. Shekhawat , why didn't you call Miss Tanya , if it was a transparent conference to be expected , you were all alone to conduct it, was it because you were afraid, that She might disturb your deploying ?" Again , a question , and I opened my mouth to say but again , there was an another entry , this is was finally Srijita Sanyal , her hairs were dishevelled and her clothes seemed to be creased , she was panting thoroughly , and again media rushed towards her , to acknowledge her presence , my heart was beating at very faster rate, it seemed like a horror film was playing with two witches entering one by one , in the graveyard to slain me, every body shared a surprised look and even that Tanya was also has been all uncomfortable , she looked paled , nervous and terrified, even when I tried to make eye contact with her, she tried to steal glances from me, I think these two had been to something fishy ,

"Who are you miss ?" A reporter asked and the Srijita was constantly looking toward my side, my fingers again curled into a fist , I was feeling helpless, what if she spell that she was my ex wife, when no body knows, was this was the plan of her to uncover our marriage , adding more miseries to my life , even there was the one existing already , my face was off white, my soul was beating and my heart was thumping at a great voice, but what came next from her panting mouth took every one's breath away , even mine , I got rooted where I was standing ,

"I m Mr. Shekhawat's fiance and we are going to marry soon , and here I m having a charge sheet against Miss Tanya Srinivas , in attempt to murder me and kidnapping me from my house , and also I had the proof with me !" She announced in her powering voice , which left the whole hall go surprised , it was a life taking moment
