Part - 13
Raghav was taking one step towards the door. With every step taken by Raghav, Sakshi was getting scared of something unknown. What does Sir want to say? Why did Sir ask me to stop? Did Sir come to know about my act? If that happens, I don't know what will happen to me today? Such various thoughts were going on in Sakshi's mind.
Sakhi did not even realize when Raghav closed the door and came and stood near her. Smiling with a faint smile, Raghav put his hand on Sakshi's shoulder. Suddenly feeling the touch, Sakshi got rid of her thoughts saying "Who is it? Who is it?"
"What happened, it's me Raghav, are you okay?"
"Sir, I am fine" Sakshi said looking at Raghav in a confused manner.
Raghav sitting on his chair came to the point and said... Yes, Sakshi, how did you like this special gift?
Sakshi... what kind of special gift is this? I gave my hoda to a girl who came yesterday and you are asking how did you like this special gift? Can this be a gift for me?
Raghav... it doesn't matter whether he came yesterday or today. It only matters how capable he is. One gets his hoda only at the cost of his capability. Are you understanding what I want to say?
Sakshi... yes, sir, I understand. You are directly pointing a finger at my capability and saying that I don't have the capability, that's why I am not given this project. I did not make you the project head. There was a time when you never tired of praising my abilities, then suddenly you did something that made my abilities disappear from your eyes and Shrishti who came yesterday became more capable than me.?
Raghav…Oh Sakshi, this mental obsession of yours and your ego is such that no one is more capable than me. And that is eating away your abilities, yet you suddenly want to know the reason behind my doing this? So listen, that reason is you yourself.
On hearing "You are yourself", Sakshi kept looking at Raghav in surprise. Not a single word came out of her mouth as if her tongue was paralyzed. Seeing Sakshi keep quiet like this, Raghav smiled and then said…what happened Sakshi, why did you get bitten by a snake. Come on, I will tell you the rest myself so that maybe your silence breaks. I will not know what you have been doing for so long, if you think so, then you are wrong. I am not talking about the time since Shrishti came but even beyond that. Shrishti has come now, I felt like pushing you out but I kept quiet thinking that you are Armaan's friend and there was a rift in my relationship with Armaan, I did not want to increase that mess, so I kept quiet. But now my relationship with Armaan has reached a point where it can never improve, so I thought I should make you realize your actions. But you should not think that I am throwing you out, I am just showing you your shortcomings so that you can do better.
After saying this, Raghav maintained his silence and started smiling with a slow mysterious smile and Sakshi seemed to have frozen. The blood circulation in her body stopped. Holding her breath, without moving, without closing her eyes, she just kept staring at Raghav. Seeing this, Raghav said... hey, your breath has stopped, have you forgotten to blink? Come on, blink your eyes and take a few breaths otherwise you will suffocate. If something happens to you due to suffocation, my respect will be at stake and I will lose one capable architect. And I don't want this at all. Don't forget that you are a capable architect, you just need to improve your attitude towards work.
Today, Raghav was giving shock after shock to Sakshi without giving her a single chance to recover and Sakshi kept listening quietly. Seeing Sakshi in such a state, Raghav took a few steps ahead and went out of the door.
Sakshi just kept sitting and watching. In a short while, Raghav returned with a glass of water and giving it to Sakshi said... maybe your throat has dried up, drink some water and clear your throat, this will give you the courage to listen further.
Sakshi took the glass of water but stopped at the thought of listening further and started looking at Raghav with eager eyes. As if asking, I have told you so much, what else is left now.
Raghav was in a do or die mood today. Just like a butcher makes someone drink two sips of water and then separates the head from the body in one stroke. Raghav had probably made up his mind to do something similar, that is why he himself put the glass of water in his hand to Sakshi's mouth and gestured her to drink, then Sakshi drank water sip by sip like an obedient student, then looked at Raghav as if asking what should I do with this glass now. "You will have to tell me this too" saying this he took the glass from Sakshi's hand and placed it on the table and went and sat on his chair.
Sakshi just kept looking at him with a helpless face, seeing this Raghav said... O Sakshi don't look at me in such a way that I fall in love with you. Ufff you also wanted that I fall in love with you, for which you tried God knows what tricks you tried, you didn't even stop from showing off your body. Now you must be thinking how you could get me, oh innocent girl I am also from this world, I have not come from some other world. I understand the nature of people.
I stayed away from home for ten years, for ten whole years. During that time, I met countless people who, like you, want to reach the heights of success without doing childish things. But you probably forgot that even if someone puts a glass of water to your mouth, you can quench your thirst only by drinking it yourself. Similarly, even if someone helps you to reach the heights of success, you have to reach it yourself. Am I right?
Raghav was exposing Sakshi one after the other and the words were so harsh that Sakshi was not able to bear it. But Raghav was not ready to stop. He was just talking.
Raghav...you must be feeling bad when I am telling you what you did. Just think how bad Shrishti must have felt when she had to listen to this not once but twice without any fault of yours….
"Stop it sir, how much more will you humiliate me. I have understood that whatever I did was only for my own benefit." After saying this, Sakshi started crying.
Sakshi's guilt had overpowered her. So she bowed her head and hid her face with both hands and started crying. Seeing this, Raghav came to Sakshi and said on her shoulder...Sakshi, I just wanted to make you feel guilty. Which you have already realized. Now that you are already suffering from guilt, I am giving you another chance. Without having any enmity with Srishti, join her and show your talent. I have known for a long time how much talent Srishti has. Neither you are less than her in talent nor she is less than you.
This shock of knowing Srishti beforehand suddenly shocked Sakshi, as a result of which Sakshi forgot to cry and started staring at Raghav in surprise. Seeing this, Raghav said... There is no need to be so surprised. Really, I want to give you another chance.
Till now she was listening quietly, but suddenly a jolt increased the blood flow in Sakshi's paralyzed tongue and Sakshi said... Sir, since when do you know Shrishti?
Raghav... you were shocked by the fact that since when do I know Shrishti, whereas I was thinking that after doing so much why am I giving you a second chance. Look Sakshi, it is not necessary for you to know how and why I know Shrishti.
Sakshi... but...
Raghav... but nothing, now you go and if you want, take leave today, this will make your mental balance which is shaken. It will be fine, then from tomorrow start working on the new project with new zeal and passion.
Despite being refused, Sakshi wanted to know but Raghav did not tell anything. Finally, with all kinds of thoughts in her mind, Sakshi left. As soon as she left, Raghav made a call and said... send a hot coffee and send it a little early.
After ordering coffee, he sat down again as before, the only difference was that today he was not moving his legs nor was there a mysterious smile on his lips. Rather, he was sitting quietly. He was smiling softly with ease.
Oh my god, Raghav today, sitting in the position of a sir, behaved like a sir.
Was this necessary??
Will his company benefit from this??
Or will he have to lose a promising architect like Sakshi?
Will Sakshi improve because of this???
Or will his anger which was till now limited to Shrushti, now Raghav has also made his place in it??? Now he has two enemies???
The biggest question is that how does Raghav know Shrushti when Shrushti doesn't even know him????
Along with Sakshi, I am also very surprised, really...............
Oh, there are many questions in my mind and I will have to know more!!!
