"Why? Isn't it your job?" Zara interrogated.The policeman clutched his hands together on his desk, "Yes it is but I still can't do that. According to the law here, the one who filed the case must withdraw it themselves. And you don't look like the one who filed the case." Zara grinded her teeth in annoyance as she remembered who filed the case. "Arjun." She muttered.Without a word, Zara stormed out of the police station with her cellphone in her hand.She dialed Arjun's number and it ringed almost immediately."Come to the police station right now." Zara ordered."I won't." Arjun responded, his voice sounding cold."If you don't come here, I might get arrested for attempted suicide." Zara threatened as she tightened her grip on the phone.Arjun stopped swiveling his executive chair, "Zara, don't do anything stupid." "Then you better come here or else." Zara growled and disconnected the call.Zara stood outside the police station for some minutes and a car drove into the compound,
Zara stared at Aisha in bewilderment, "Why are you saying that? A casual worker? That's below your standard." "I don't have any standard. You gave me that standard, have you forgotten? I'm not even qalified for the position. So don't worry, a casual worker will be okay for me." Aisha pulled her chair out while sitting."Are you sure? Don't you think taking a lower position in the company would stir reactions?" "You said you were going to clear my name right? So you can just add that I chose that position because I want to understand the affairs of the company. I want to work efficiently as a casual worker not as a cocky managing director that's intoxicated with power." Aisha finished, the sincerity and remorse evident in her voice.Zara stared at Aisha in admiration, "I'm proud of you. And I'm proud of your decision. I'll do as you say ma'am. Your wish is my command." Zara giggled as she made a little salute.Aisha couldn't help but smile, "Oh please. Stop." Zara raised both brows
Arjun walked towards the two, "Did you suddenly forget I was here?" He asked, his gaze fixed on Zara.Aisha felt nervous seeing Arjun again, she avoided eye contact with him."No, I didn't. I was going to call you just now." Zara said.Arjun narrowed his eyes at Zara, "Yeah right." "Um, Zara I think I can go home on my own now." Aisha said in low voice and was just about scurrying away when Zara stopped her."Why the sudden change? Is it because of Arjun? Don't worry, he's not here to take you to prison or anything." Zara said, letting out a little laugh."Aisha Patel…" Arjun's cold voice made Aisha anxious. "He..hello Mr Arjun." She stuttered with a forced smile."Hmmm. I've heard you're now a changed person, is that so?" Arjun fixed his eyes on her, not wanting to miss any expression of suspicion.Aisha's face turned warm, "Yes. But I really wouldn't want to declare that with just words. I'd like you to see it." She smiled.Arjun nodded subtly, "Oh I have. I've been here for the p
"We arrived at the right time." The doctor smiled at the man laying down in bed.Jigyasa rushed over to the bed, "Father…" She muttered in joy. Sid's vision was blurry but he was able to recognize that face…"Jigyasa.. My dear." Sid's voice cracked as he spoke.Tears brimmed at the corner of Jigyasa's eyes, "Yes father it's me." Jigyasa turned to the doctor who watched the scene silently, "Um doctor can I take him home?" "I wouldn't advise that. He just woke up after a long time so he's still under observation. But you can come take him home in few days." The doctor said.Jigyasa nodded her head subtly, "Alright."Jigyasa took Sid's hand in hers, "Don't worry father, I'll still come here to visit you. And then we can finally go home." Sidd let out a soft cough, "Jigyasa.. Where's Ashish? Why hasn't he come to see me?"Jigyasa's smile disappeared, her face turned gloomy.Sidd furrowed his brow slightly, "Why aren't you saying anything? Is he so busy at work that he couldn't come
"Tell me everything that happened in the past three years. I don't want no emotional story. Give me the important information." Sid instructed.Jigyasa took as a seat on the bed as she started to explain, "After Ashish's death, the lawyer shared his will with us. He willed everything he owned, including the company to that adopted girl. Right now, she's the one in control of Khan Industries." Sidd frowned after hearing that, "Ashish willed his property to Zara? Why did he give such wealth to an adopted child?" He scoffed, "Naive Ashish. He'll never learn. Well, that's what I'm here for." A small grin appeared on his lips.Jigyasa raised a brow, "Father, what do you mean?" Sidd drummed his fingers on his walking stick, "I'll correct his silly mistakes. A woman shouldn't be allowed to control the business affairs of the Khan family. That's an insult to me. When we have men to take over, Ashish decided to give a weak and sentimental creature such a responsibility? Not on my watch." An
"As if that wasn't enough, he threatened to make sure I'd be ruined." Zara frowned as she sipped from her glass of juice."Why is he hell bent on taking the company from you?" Arjun asked.Zara hissed,"Said something about me being a woman and that I knew nothing about business. I'm sure Jigyasa's the one who told him."Arjun scoffed, "His age must be affecting his sense of reasoning. Who has been handling the company while he was in coma?" Zara clapped her hands, "Exactly what I said. But he wasn't listening, all he kept yapping about was the ownership of the company. Honestly, he makes me feel like he's just after power and nothing else." Arjun hummed, "You may be right. But he's old. What would he need the power for? I mean, should he even be stressing about these things?" Zara chuckled, "Seems you don't know who Sidd Khan is. Even at old age, the workers still tremble in his presence. He's probably after the company now so it can add to his egotistical behavior." "I'm quite su
"Good day boss." A man clad in black said as he got into the car.Raj adjusted his sunshades, "Where are the information?" "Everything you need to know about him is in here." The man said, handing Raj the file.Raj nodded subtly, "I'll make the rest of the payments once I'm home. You can leave now." And with that, the man in black got out of the car.Raj started the ignition immediately. He drove off to meet his father at their penthouse."Father, I got the file." Raj said as he walked into Sid's room.Sid dropped his glass of wine on the table as he stretched his hand towards Raj.Raj placed the file in his father's hands, "I told him I'd make payments when I got home but I want you to confirm the information before I pay him off." Sidd scanned through the file in his hand, an expression of worry appeared on his face. "The man behind that little creature is so powerful. One wouldn't be able to harm Zara with him around." Raj scratched his head with the car key in his hand, "Yeah,
The Maratha industries received a lot of backlash from other companies in the business world. Arjun's silence about the rumors was misunderstood.The situation was getting out of hand as the rumors spread all over the country.The news soon reached the president, he sent Arjun an invitation to his office.Arjun walked into the office, "Good morning Mr President, it's a pleasure to be here." "I hear your robotics are disguised weapons that's threatening the lives of the citizen's." The president ignored Arjun's pleasantries with a stern look on his face.The president gestured towards the couch across the room for Arjun to sit but he refused, "Mr President, these are just rumors." The president rested his clutched hands on his desk, "So what are you doing about it?""I…" Arjun trailed off, not wanting to reveal his plans yet.He smiled, "Don't worry Mr President, all the doubts will be cleared soon." But the President wasn't having it, "Listen up. You and your robot are posing a thr
