Note:-
Guys, whoever is reading this story can you please give me your feedback? Do u liking it or not. Actually, the views are very less as compared to my previous stories. I understand it's maybe because I always used to write on AbhiRa but I can't write on them only forever. Most importantly I have lost interest after what happened in the show and trust me I tried to write this story on them once. I even had published couple of chapters but I was not satisfied because I had imagined this whole story with some other characters. So I unpublished that and now again started writing with my original characters.So I just want to know dat it's good or not. I have never forced anyone to vote or comment by setting targets like other writers here. It's just a request because I want genuine feedback regarding my story.
And whoever are reading it and liking it, thanku. I will try my best to make it more interesting with upcoming updates...🤞🤞🙏🙏
Aranya was never interested in working here, neither at the time of giving test nor when she got selected. She was finding something to keep herself busy in absence of her parents. She was getting bored sitting at home doing nothing.
At that night, she was watching a documentary on world's ancient architecture, there she saw detailed coverage of forts of Rajasthan. Since she was studying in a foreign University, with gothic architecture as her specialization, she had almost no idea about Indian architecture because it was not part of their syllabus. She got impressed by seeing those forts and wanted to see them by herself. So, next day when she got call to get final confirmation from them and she realised that she will actually get a chance to visit Rajasthan, she accepted their interview call. She was not excited for the work at all as it was just an excuse to go there and utilise her free time. This was the main reason she didn't try to know about the company at all and didn't tell anything to king when he asked purpose of her visit.
Now, when she was actually standing in front of that 10 story building, she felt excited for the first time regarding this work thing. Her first impression was quite good about that place. It made her curious about upcoming meeting with their supposed boss. She entered in the main building, there she had to show that mail at security check to get entry. She went to reception and told them about her interview.
" Good morning ma'am. Let me call your concerned department and confirm" Receptionist told her.
" Ma'am, go to 6th floor and wait in the lobby. They will guide you further, have a nice day " Receptionist told her.
Aranya nodded and went to that place. She was sitting in the lobby as instructed and was observing the whole interior of that area.
"Aranya Gujral? Please come with me."
One man came and told her.
She nodded and went with him inside an office.When she entered into office, she found the same man who came to their college, sitting there. When that man saw her, he smiled.
" Good morning and welcome to India miss Gujral, please have a seat. Myself Subrahmanyam Murty, I am handling this project.Our boss had to go out of city for an urgent meeting, so I will take your interview." Mr Murthy told her politely.
" Good morning sir, no problem from my side. I am ready " Aranya told him.
After that her interview started and it went for almost an hour.
" Miss Aranya Gujral, well done and welcome to our company. I am looking forward to work with you. It will be 6 months contract and you will get 5 lacs/ month. Our deadline is very tight and there is still so much work to do, specially in your department.So, I will suggest you start from tomorrow only. Are you ready for it or you have any questions or doubts?" Mr Murthy asked her.
Aranya was numb and speechless. She was not understanding what to do now.
" how can I say yes for a six months contract in some other country without asking mom and dad? But how will I contact them now, it's impossible. What should I do?" She thought to herself.
" sir, if you don't mind, can you give me few minutes? I am really grateful for your offer but it's a very big thing for me to live here for 6 months. I need to discuss it with my family first. I hope you understand..." Aranya said to him.
" it's ok. You have half an hour to give your answer to us. Good luck" Mr Murthy said to her.
Aranya nodded and left the room. She was feeling restless and was unable to decide what she should do. She called her friend to get help.
" hello Amy, I need your help. Please suggest me what should I do?" Aranya told her friend.
" what happened? Why are you sounding so nervous?" Her friend asked her.
" remember the test which we have given, I got selected in that. Right now I am in India and they have offered me to work here but the problem is I will have to start working from tomorrow only and will have to live here for 6 months because they are asking me to sign 6 months contract. My mind is not working what I should do? On one side, I am really impressed with the project but how can I commit something like this without asking mom and dad. This time, I can't even talk to them and they have given me only half an hour to give my final answer. This is why I called you. Please tell me what should I do?" Aranya asked her being all hyper.
" first you relax and calm down. I think you should say yes. You tell me, which parents will deny if their children will get such big work opportunity, no one will ever right? I am sure, your parents will be so much happy and feel proud of you when they will know about it. And it's just matter of 6 months only. Just imagine how big your portfolio will become that you were one of the main architect of India's biggest hotel that too being it's your first ever project. It's going to help you tremendously when you will start your own company. I am telling you, accept their offer without any delay or doubt. Very few people gets such kind of opportunity being a fresher, you are getting it, so please don't let it go and say yes to them." Her friend suggested her.
" I guess, you are right. Mom and dad will be happy only. I am sure if I would have asked them then they would also have suggested same to me. Thanks yaar.
Now I will meet you after 6 months only and honestly speaking, the person who is handling this project took my interview and explained me whole project with so much detailing. I am too much impressed by it and would love to be part of something like this. Let's hope, for the best. Now I have to go will talk with you later, ok?" Aranya told her.
" ok. Take care of yourself and good luck
Her friend replied and disconnected the call.
" I guess, I should not think too much now and just go with the flow and moreover it's just matter of 6 months. It will just pass away without even realising it. " Aranya thought to herself and went back to that same room.
" May I come in sir" she asked.
" yeah sure" he replied.
" Sir, I am ready." She told to him.
" wonderful. No sane person will say no to such big opportunity. Let's do all the formalities and then you can join our team from tomorrow onwards." He said and called someone.
" please make 6 months contract in the name of Aranya Gujral for the job of architect in our hotel project. Working conditions and paycheck will be as per pre-decided. Keep it ready, we are coming there." He said to someone on phone and stood up.
" Miss Gujral, let's go. We will fulfil the formalities of making you official part of our company." He said to her and went out of the office. Aranya followed him.
They went to HR department and did all the formalities.
" This is your advance paycheck of 5 lacks to cover your accommodation and all other requirements for this month. From next month, you will get your salary on time. Welcome to our company,
hopefully it will be good for all of us" Mr Murthy said to her after handling her welcome kit for new employees.
" Thankyou so much sir for giving me such a big opportunity. I will try my best to not disappoint you. Looking forward to work with you." Aranya said to him.
" Same here. Let's go, I wil introduce to other members of our team" Mr Murthy told her and took her with him.
Rest of the time Aranya spent with the team knowing about the progress of the project and what they were doing. After lunch time, she left the office. After that she told her driver to take her to a shopping mall because she needed to buy so many things for living there for 6 months. She came with only a small suitcase.
Evening:-
King was getting tensed because it was past sunset but Aranya still not came back. He called security people to know where they were. They informed him that she was in shopping mall. After sometime, she came back home. It was past 7 pm.
" Aranya, where have you been whole day? and you did all the shopping in one day only? What you will do rest of the days?" King asked her seeing so many shopping bags with her and other staff members.
" Uncle,these are very less. I needed to buy so many more things but I got so much tired. I will go on Sunday again to buy those things. Afterall, I need to make arrangements for 6 months." Aranya said after sitting on sofa, being all tired.
" 6 months? What do you mean by this?"
He asked her with confusion.
" Oh sorry!! You wanted to know, why I came here all of a sudden right? Here it is. The main reason of me coming here on such a short notice." Aranya said after handling him the welcome kit which she got.
King was shocked to see that envelope in her hand would be an understatement. He recognised that kit very well but he was not understanding what it was doing with her. He again asked her, hoping what he was thinking not true.
" what is this? Who gave you this?" He asked her after taking that envelope with shivering hands.
" You can see by yourself. You will be shocked to see it. Open it" She said with excitement.
He immediately tore that envelope to see what it was doing with her. When he saw her I'd card inside, he almost stumbled upon his feet. Then he read the appointment letter. His face lost all colours after reading that aand he sat on the sofa with a thud.
" Uncle, you are shocked too,right? I was also shocked but now I am excited. You are living in this city for so long,you must have heard about this company right? They are planning to make India's biggest luxurious hotel and I am going to be part of it. Isn't it so much exciting? I could not meet their boss because he is out of city but I must say,he is just genius. I am really impressed and now eagerly waiting to meet him personally. For now, I have to join them tomorrow. I am so looking forward to work with him and this team." She said with so much excitement.
King was just listening her without saying anything. Here he was planning to send her back within a week and she gave her appointment letter of working here for 6 months and that too in Sidharth's company and top of that in his dream project? He thought he will get heartattack any moment.
"Aranya is going to work with Sidharth?
but how is this possible? and how come Sidharth has no idea about it? I told him to stay away from her till she is here and now she is going to work in his company and in his dream project? What kind of nonsense is this?Now what I am supposed to do in this condition? I can't say anything to her. I guess, I need to talk to Sidharth. Now, only he can do something" king thought to himself and decided to talk to Sidharth.
" Aranya, I think you must be tired. Please go and take rest. I will tell staff to send dinner in your room only. Good night" king said to her and went away from there.
Aranya found his behaviour little odd but she brushed it off and went away because she was actually tired and she needed to do lots of preparations for tomorrow. So, she didn't think too much and got busy with her own work.
Somewhere else:-
" hello sir, I took interview of that girl and gave her offer letter. She will join from tomorrow only. I have mailed her details to you" Sidharth received voice note from Mr Murthy.
" ✅" Sidharth just replied this and switched off his phone.
He was done for the day and now he needed some mental peace. So, he switched off his phone.
On the other side, king was trying his number constantly and getting irritated by listening same switched off reply from other side. After trying multiple times, he called his assistant.
" Where is Sidharth? Tell him, I want to talk to him, now." King ordered his assistant.
" I am sorry bade hukum but his phone is switched off and no one knows where he is now." Sidharth's assistant replied with scared voice.
" You guys are good for nothing. The moment you talk to him, tell him to call me back. It's my order" after saying this king disconnected the call.
"Sidharth, wherever are you, the moment you get this message, call me back immediately. I need to talk to you about something urgent regarding Aranya" King sent him voice message.
Around 3:00 AM, King received reply of his voice message....
" I have nothing to do with your Aranya Gujral as you said. See you after a week and we will talk when I will be there. For now, I want to be alone. I hope you will let me be. Take care."
