Episode 2
Shaadi ko kuch hi din hue the.
Lekin Aarohi Malhotra ki zindagi mein shaadi naam ki koi nayi priority abhi tak jagah nahi bana paayi thi. Uska schedule pehle jaisa hi tha—subah office, meetings, calls, reports, decisions. Personal life jaise uske professional calendar ke bahar kisi doosre page par likhi hui ho.
Subah ke kareeb gyarah baj rahe the. Aarohi Ventures ke head office ki chhathi manzil par usual weekday rush tha. Glass cabins ke bahar employees files aur laptops lekar idhar-udhar ja rahe the. Kahin presentation chal rahi thi, kahin kisi conference call ki awaaz glass walls se halki si bahar aa rahi thi. Reception se lekar executive floor tak har cheez apni fixed rhythm mein chal rahi thi.
Meeting room us sabse alag tha. Bahar ka shor glass door ke paar hi ruk jaata tha. Andar Aarohi table ke ek side baithi Maharashtra project ki consolidated report dekh rahi thi. Saamne laptop khula tha aur screen par site progress ke figures the.
Timeline track pe thi. Is hafte ka target almost complete ho chuka tha. Aarohi ne report ki taraf ek short nazar daali, lekin uske chehre pe koi khaas reaction nahi aaya. Woh numbers sun rahi thi jaise yeh sab uske liye routine ho.
Expenditure budget ke andar tha. Koi major overspend nahi dikh raha tha. Contractors ka performance stable tha. Teen extra machines shift ho chuki thin aur labour side se bhi koi problem nahi thi.
Aarohi thodi der chup rahi. Usne file ke edge pe ungli rakhi, lekin page nahi ulata. Room mein ek short silence rahi.
Local approvals mein kuch pending hai? usne poocha. Awaz mein na koi tension thi, na koi hurry.
Sneha ne jawaab diya, Nahi. Jo chahiye tha, clear hai.
Aarohi ne halka sa sir hilaya. Theek hai.
Sneha ne use kuch pal dekha, phir report ka agla section khol diya.
Teen extra machines bhi site pe shift ho gayi hain.
Cost?
Within revised estimate.
Revised?
Sneha halki si muskurayi.
Minor adjustment. Tumhe mail bheji thi.
Aarohi ne seedha uski taraf dekha.
Mail padhi thi.
Phir poocha kyun?
Confirm kar rahi thi.
Sneha ne halki saans chhodi.
Tumhare saath kaam karte-karte aadmi ko apne hi answers pe doubt hone lagta hai.
Aarohi ke honton ke kone bahut halki der ke liye uthe.
Achhi baat hai.
Achhi? Samne wale insan se kabhi pucho tab pata chlega.
Galti kam hoti hai.
Sneha ne sir hila diya.
Tumse argument karna waise bhi bekaar hai.
Aarohi wapas report par aa gayi.
Local side?
Approvals clear hain. Abhi tak koi hold nahi.
Contractors payment ke liye pressure toh nahi bana rahe?
Abhi nahi. Finance ne last cycle release kar diya.
Theek hai.
Sneha ne tablet par ek aur page khola. Is baar uski ungli screen par ruk gayi. Uske expression mein is baar thodi si tension thi
Aarohi ki nazar turant us par chali gayi.
Kya hai?
Ek chhota sa issue.
Chhota hai toh tumhari shakal kyun badli hui hai?
Sneha ne uski taraf dekha.
Meri shakal normal hai.
Tum jab ‘chhota sa issue’ bolti ho na, usually woh chhota nahi hota.
Sneha ke chehre par halki si smile aayi.
Is baar genuinely chhota ho sakta hai.
Ho sakta hai?
Land-use supporting documents mein. Ek annexure ka cross-reference properly match nahi kar raha. Authority ne clarification maangi hai.
Aarohi ne tablet apni taraf kheench liya.
Date?
Notice kal receive hua.
Legal team ne dekha?
Subah bheja tha.
Unka kya kehna hai?
Unke hisaab se rectify ho sakta hai. Major compliance issue nahi hai.
Aarohi ne notice ko do baar padha kuch khaas nahi tha aise objections bade projects mein aate rehte the. Kabhi kisi document ka format, kabhi reference number, kabhi kisi supporting paper ka mismatch. Jab tak actual work par effect na pade, Aarohi unhe crisis nahi maanti thi usne tablet Sneha ki taraf wapas kar diya.
Legal ko bolo dobara check karein. Clarification properly draft karke bhej dein. Delay bilkul nahi hona chahiye.
Sneha ne note kiya. Main unhe abhi instruction de deti hoon.
Iske chakkar mein site ka kaam slow nahi hona chahiye.
Nahi hoga.
Good.
Sneha ne tablet table par rakha, lekin uthne ki jaldi nahi ki.
Waise ek cheez aur.
Aarohi ne nazar uthayi.
Ab kya?
Project ke local contractors mein se Mehta Infra wale kal milna chahte hain.
Why?
Unhone reason nahi diya. Bas meeting request bheji hai.
Kal aur wo bhi bina reason btaye?
Haan.
Office bula lo.
Sneha ne note kar liya.
Time?
Eleven.
Aarohi ne ek second rukkar poocha, Aur kuch?
Sneha ne tablet lock kiya.
Nahi.
Woh chair se uthne lagi, phir ruk gayi.
Aarohi.
Hm?
Shaadi ke baad bhi tumne office ka schedule ek din ke liye change nahi kiya.
Aarohi ne uski taraf dekha.
Company ka shaadi se koi matlab nhi hota sneha.
Sneha ke chehre par wohi purani shararat wali expression aa gayi.
Main company ki baat nahi kar rahi.
Aarohi ne use seedha dekha.
Sneha.
Okay, okay.
Sneha hans padi aur chair peeche kar di.
Bas pooch rahi thi.
Sneha door ki taraf badhi.
Lunch?
Meeting ke baad.
Tum meeting ke baad bhi meeting karogi.
Dekhenge.
Sneha ne door kholte hue peeche mudkar dekha.
Main tumhara lunch schedule karwa deti hoon.
Mat karna.
Phir teen baje coffee pe survive karogi.
Aarohi ne bina upar dekhe kaha,
Tum jao.
Sneha hansi aur bahar nikal gayi.
Door band hote hi room phir shaant ho gaya aarohi kuch der screen par report dekhti rahi. Technical objection uske dimaag mein abhi bhi kahin tha, lekin utni importance ke saath nahi. Usne legal team ka forwarded mail khola, objection ki copy dekhi aur ek line mark kar di. Clarification required. Bas. Usne mail close kar diya.
Bahar glass wall ke paar office apni raftaar se chal raha tha. Kisi ko abhi andaza nahi tha ki wahi chhota sa technical objection aane wale dino mein project ke bahut bade hisse ko touch karne wala tha. Filhaal Aarohi ke liye woh sirf ek aur file thi aur file abhi uski priority list mein sabse upar nahi thi.
Do din tak Maharashtra project mein koi aisi baat nahi hui jo Aarohi ka dhyaan kheench sake. Site se reports apne waqt par aa rahi thi. Procurement team ne machinery ka revised schedule bhej diya tha aur contractors ki payment cycle bhi routine ke mutabik chal rahi thi. Pichhle hafte jo technical objection file mein aaya tha, legal team uski clarification taiyar kar rahi thi. Aarohi ne bhi usse zyada importance nahi di uske liye business mein har rukawat kisi saazish ka signal nahi hoti thi. Kabhi paperwork galat hota tha, kabhi kisi department ki interpretation alag nikal aati thi. Jab tak kisi problem ka pattern saamne na aaye, woh us par apna waqt nahi lagati thi.
Teesre din dopahar ke kareeb Sneha uske cabin mein aayi. Aarohi apne desk par baithi ek acquisition proposal dekh rahi thi. Window ke bahar traffic apni usual raftaar se chal raha tha. Cabin mein AC ki halki awaaz ke alawa koi shor nahi tha. Sneha ke haath mein wahi Maharashtra project ki file thi aarohi ne usse dekhte hi file pehchan li.
Ho gaya?
Sneha ne file table par rakh di.
Clarification bhejne se pehle ek cheez mili hai.
Aarohi ki nazar proposal se uthkar file par chali gayi. Sneha ne file kholi, lekin turant document uski taraf nahi badhaya. Usne ek page palta aur kuch lines dobara padhi.
Aarohi ne uske chehre ko dekha.
Problem?
Shayad.
Bas itna kehkar Sneha chup ho gayi.
Aarohi ne pen table par rakh diya. Shayad?
Pehle mujhe bhi laga tha normal objection hai.
Sneha ne document uski taraf saraka diya aarohi ne page uthaya. Objection wahi tha jo pehle bataya gaya tha—land-use documentation se juda ek technical point. Pehli nazar mein kuch bhi unusual nahi tha. Supporting document ka reference number aur annexure ke beech ek mismatch tha, jise correction ke through resolve kiya ja sakta tha. Lekin page ke neeche do aur remarks add kiye gaye the Aarohi ki ungli ek line par ruk gayi.
Ye kab add hua?
Kal evening.
Authority?
Sneha ne naam bataya.
Aarohi ne document se nazar nahi hatayi.
Unhone pehle objection raise kyun nahi kiya?
Wahi samajhne ki koshish kar rahi hoon.
Aarohi ne agla page palta. Usmein legal team's internal note attached tha. Note ke mutabik clarification dene ke baad matter close ho sakta tha, lekin concerned department ne ek additional verification ki demand bhi daal di thi. Aarohi kursi se thoda peeche hui kuch pal tak usne kuch nahi kaha.
Sneha saamne khadi rahi.
Verification kis cheez ka?
Land records aur logistics corridor alignment.
Jo already clear hai?
Haan.
Aarohi ne dheere se file band kar di problem document mein nahi thi. Problem ye thi ki ek chhoti technical discrepancy ko dheere-dheere ek alag process mein badla ja raha tha. Abhi bhi itna nahi tha ki woh ise deliberate obstruction kahe lekin normal bhi nahi tha.
Aarohi ne window ki taraf dekha. Neeche road par vehicles ki line chal rahi thi. Har cheez apni jagah par moving thi, lekin uske saamne rakhi file mein ek chhoti si cheez achanak unnecessary complicated ban gayi thi.
Department se direct baat hui?
Legal ne try kiya tha. Proper response nahi mila.
Officer?
Available nahi the.
Aarohi ki aankhon mein halki si sakhti aayi.
Available nahi the ya baat nahi karna chahte?
Sneha ne seedha jawab nahi diya.
Difference samajh nahi aa raha.
Aarohi ne file phir kholi.
Contractor side?
Abhi tak kaam chal raha hai.
Abhi tak?
Sneha ne haan mein sir hilaya.
Unhone subah call kiya tha. Do machines ka movement temporarily hold hua hai. Keh rahe hain clearance ka wait hai.
Aarohi ne ek baar uski taraf dekha.
Pehle kyun nahi bataya?
Main confirm karna chahti thi.
Aarohi ne kuch nahi kaha.
Ye uski aadat thi—jab koi information adhuri ho, woh turant reaction dene ke bajay usse thoda waqt deti thi. Usse pata tha ki business mein sabse mehengi galti kabhi-kabhi galat decision nahi, jaldi liya gaya decision hota hai.
Usne file ke papers ek taraf kar diye.
Legal ko bolo objection ka formal reply abhi hold karein.
Sneha ne bhawein sikodi. Hold?
Pehle ye pata karo ki objection kis direction mein ja raha hai.
Sirf technical issue hai toh?
Tab bhi pata chalega.
Sneha samajh gayi aarohi ne laptop ki screen par project map khola. Maharashtra ka corridor screen par spread ho gaya. Kuch locations already marked thi. Usne ek particular stretch zoom kiya.
Is section mein kaunse contractors hain?
Sneha ne paas aakar screen dekhi.
Teen primary contractors. Ek logistics operator.
Unse individually baat karo.
Directly?
Officially nahi. Abhi nahi.
Sneha kuch pal use dekhti rahi.
Aarohi ki awaaz bilkul normal thi, lekin uska dhyaan ab poori tarah project par tha.
Pata karo unhe exactly kya kaha gaya hai. Kisne kaha. Aur kab kaha.
Sneha ne notes banana shuru kiya.
Okay.
Aarohi ne screen se nazar uthayi.
Aur department mein jo log pehle cooperate kar rahe the…
Unse bhi?
Haan.
Already kar rahi hoon.
Is baar Aarohi ke chehre par bahut halki si tasalli dikhi.
Good.
Sneha file uthane lagi, phir ruk gayi.
Ek aur cheez.
Aarohi ne uski taraf dekha.
Bolo.
Objection sirf hamare project ke against nahi hai.
Aarohi chup ho gayi.
Sneha ne phone mein kuch pages khole.
Do aur infrastructure projects mein bhi similar verification request gayi hai. Dono alag companies ke hain.
Aarohi ki aankhen screen par tik gayin.
Ab baat badal gayi thi.
Agar sirf Aarohi Ventures ko target kiya ja raha hota, toh kisi rival ka naam sochna aasaan tha. Lekin agar doosre projects bhi isi process mein kheench diye gaye the, toh ya toh kisi ne ek broader administrative pressure create kiya tha...
...ya phir Aarohi ko abhi tak asli picture dikh hi nahi rahi thi.
Un dono companies ka background nikalo.
Sneha ne sir hilaya.
Already karwa rahi hoon.
Aarohi ne file band kar di.
Abhi kisi par doubt mat karna.
Main bhi wahi soch rahi thi.
Doubt aur information mein farq hota hai, Sneha.
Sneha ne halki si muskaan ke saath kaha, Isi liye toh aapko bata rahi hoon.
Aarohi ne uski taraf dekha, phir wapas laptop screen par.
Jao. Mujhe actual reason chahiye. Guess nahi.
Sneha file lekar cabin se bahar nikal gayi darwaza band hua toh Aarohi kuch der wahi baithi rahi. Usne Maharashtra project ka map screen par khula rakha koi bada nuksaan nahi hua tha koi contract cancel nahi hua tha koi official notice bhi nahi aaya tha.
Phir bhi kuch badla tha bahut chhota itna chhota ki aam nazar use ignore kar deti Aarohi ne screen par marked corridor ko dekha aur ankh band krke kuch sochne lgi. Usse abhi bhi nahi pata tha ki saamne kaun tha. Lekin pehli baar usne ye maan liya tha ki shayad ye sirf paperwork nahi hai.
