FANAA

ITS WAR TIME

AT RATHORE INC

Abhimanyu was verifying the documents while Vikrant sat infront of Abhimaan's scrutinizing gaze. Vikrant turned his gaze only to meet with Adhavan's smirk that was enough to send horrifying shivers down his body. Vikrant again settled his gaze on Abhimaan who had a stoic face but burning glare, making Vikrant shift uncomfortably on his chair.

He couldn't understand upon whom to set his eyes all are highly intimidating, making it extremely difficult for him to maintain his confidence facade.

He finally leveled his eyes with that of Abhimanyu whom he found a little bit less domineering. Abhimanyu closed the file and smiled at Vikrant.

"Mr. Vikrant" Abhimanyu said

"Yes, Mr. Rajput" Vikrant moved more closer to the desk

"I saw your report. Your business proposal seems fine to me. We can work together but Abhimaan has a condition which you have to oblige if you want to get benefitted by this partnership"

"Partnership?" Vikrant asked being unable to believe that these fellows are ready to make him their business partner.

"Yeah......but the condition is the main thing" Abhimanyu reminded him about the unsaid condition

"What is the condition that stands for this partnership Abhimaan?" Vikrant asked

Abhimaan raised his left brow and asked challenging Vikrant's audacity "Abhimaan?"

Vikrant gulped and smiled awkwardly "mera matlab hai Mr. Rathore...... condition kya hai?"

Abhimaan didn't answer anything except for an intense stoic glare. Vikrant took few seconds to understand but finally understood that Abhimaan is silently but authoritatively demanding an apology from him.

"Am sorry Mr. Rathore for calling you with your first name. This won't happen again" Vikrant apologized

"Apology mein kuch maza nhi aya.........kyu Abhi?....... apology ke saath hi saath kuch saza mil jaye toh baat mein baat hai" Abhimanyu instigated as usual

Vikrant who till now thought Abhimanyu to be the humble one among the other fellows of the gang was shocked to see this.

"Mr. Rajput?" Vikrant said with astonishment

"Abhi toh sirf partner banne ki baat Kari toh yeh direct first name basis pe aa gaya kal ko jab partner bann jayeg tab toh yeh nick name basis pe aa jayega phir" Abhimanyu mocked Vikrant

"No no Mr. Rathore, Mr. Rajput...........esa kuch nhi hai mein toh baas...." Vikrant was saying something but was cut off by Abhimaan.

"Prove ........ you need to prove that you are worth this partnership. Now you must be thinking, how to prove?..... simple you just have to participate in a boxing match with another of our business partners......... this.is.my.condition"

"Saza kya hogi phir?" Abhimanyu asked with extreme interest

Abhimaan smirked and looked at Adhavan who is silently observing everything till now.

"Saza kuch yu hoga ki.......pehle ka ek round, aap Mr. Vikrant na khud ko defend karenge aur nahi attack karenge......sirf participate karenge" Adhavan said

"Matlab ki yeh sirf pitega?" Abhimanyu asked even though he knew everything already

He looked at Vikrant who had a frown on his face clearly showing his confusion.

Abhimanyu continued "par yeh pitega kyu?"

"Kyu ki inhe 50% ki partnership jo mil rahi hai. Jisse yeh Kartavya ke equal bann payenge. Name, fame, respect, social stature sab mein Kartavya ki bara bari and if he tries a bit more harder toh ho sakta hai ki Kartavya se aage yeh nikal jaye. Aur business ventures mein sare risk honge humare , inke liye toh 50% profit hogi with 0% market risk. Iske liye agar itni si loyalty prove karni bhi pade then worth it" Abhimaan played his card or manipulation
