The 'Un' Attached String

Chapter - 10

[Canada]

"If you want the deal to be done, then either its my way or its no way!! We don't need you its you who needs us!", said Bela as she properly fixed her spects while looking at the CEO of another company Mr. Matthews who was wiping the droplets of sweats that appeared on his forehead as he looked into Bela's unblinking eyes over her spects. Ranjit, on the other side was looking proudly at her daughter with a smirk as he always wanted her daughter to be a shrewd business personnel just like him as one day she had to take over her father's business. Mr. Matthews said to Bela, "Ms. Sareen we have a long term business relation with you so can't you just..." Bela replied, "Few years ago, when my company suffered from the trouble at that time, no one came for our aid and from that position I took over and brought Queen's back to its old glory. That day, I understood that business can not be done with that weak organ of our body named 'heart'." Mr. Mathews looked towards Ranjit almost pleading to make Bela understand and Ranjit really felt very pity for the man and so he said to Bela, "Bela please beta!!" Bela looked at her father and he could really read her expressions, where she clearly slammed 'Do-not-interfere!' which even made Ranjit turn into his mute mode again. Bela, almost, in a tone with ultimatum, said, "So Mr. Matthews! If you want the deal to be closed, it will be closed but on my terms and I can assure you world class service. If your clients are not satisfied, Queen's will give full refund and that's my word!" Ranjit looked at Bela all shocked as he didn't expect her to make that decision. Bela then completed her sentence by looking at her watch, "Or else... I have a meeting an hour later for which I have to prepare!" Ranjit then shook his shoulder helplessly looking at Mr. Mathews and said, "I'm sorry... Mr. Matthews. I just sign all the papers here, decisions are made by my daughter only." At last, without any option left, Mr. Matthews had to sign the deal on Bela's terms and then he shook his hands and left from there. After he left, Ranjit asked, "Beta thora compromise to ho sakta tha na?" Bela arranged all the papers and replied, "Papa aaphine mujhe hamesha se yehi seekhaya hai ke Queens, Queen ke taaj jaisa hai jo hamesha sar ke upar bethta hai aur compromise matlab sar ke upar se ghutno tak aa jaana isiliye Queens never compromise. Main to aaphika rule follow kar rahi hu." Ranjit said, "I always wanted you to be like me but not that heartless." Bela smiled sadly as she opened her spects and replied, "Main heartless nehi hu papa bas isme emotions thore kam ho gaye hai aur ab ye dil Bulbul ke alava kisi aur ke liye nehi pighalta hai." The thing, about which Ranjit wanted to talk for a very long time with Bela and that also too seriously was about Reyhaan and as he was about to raise that topic, Bela's phone started ringing which grabbed Bela's attention and she immediately picked up the phone.

B : "Hullo Bela Sehgal speaking!"

That one unintentional mistake of Bela, which she commits often, startled both Bela and Ranjit which made Bela very embarrassed and she immediately corrected herself.

B : "Uh... I'm sorry this is Bela Sareen speaking!!"

Principal of Bulbul's school : "Hullo Ms. Sareen I'm The Principal of your daughter's school speaking!!"

Bela's heart skipped a bit on hearing from Bulbul's school as she thought that something might have happened to Bulbul.

B : "Has anything happened to my daughter?"

P : "No... not at all as your daughter is a pro in making something happen to others."

Bela gave a sigh of relief thinking that nothing has happened to Bulbul.

B : "What happened mam?"

P : "Your daughter played cricket with the boys and hit the ball so hard that it straight away broke the window shield of my chamber and is at present resting on my table. I just want to tell you that I could have been hurt or any other student could have been hurt and thank God for that no one was hurt."
