Agli subah.
Sneha andar aayi. Lekin Is baar uske haath mein sirf ek file nahi thi. Ek tablet bhi tha aur chehre par woh casual expression bhi nahi tha jo woh aam taur par routine updates lekar aate waqt rakhti thi.
Aarohi ne screen se nazar uthayi.
Mil gaya kuch?
Sneha ne chair kheench kar saamne baithte hue file table par rakhi.
Pressure ka source thoda clear hua hai.
Aarohi ne folder nahi uthaya. Bas uski taraf dekha.
Bolo.
Logistics ecosystem ke ek particular layer se generate ho raha hai. Jo middle-level clearance aur movement approvals handle karte hain, wahi pe consistent delay aa raha hai. Seedha upar se nahi, isi layer se.
Aarohi thodi der chup rahi. Usne folder khola, do-teen pages dekhe, phir band kar diya.
Mastermind?
Abhi nahi mila. Sirf itna clear hai ki pressure isi chain se aa raha hai.
Aarohi kuch sochne lgi Uske chehre pe koi tension nahi tha. Sirf calculation.
Toh ab seedha us layer pe pressure daalne se faayda nahi hoga.
Sneha ne sir hilaya.
Nahi. Agar hum wahan confront karenge toh woh cover ho jaayenge.
Aarohi ne window ki taraf ek short nazar daali, phir wapas Sneha pe.
Is chain ko bypass karne ka koi route hai?
Do options nikal sakte hain. Ek temporary alternate clearance channel, doosra private logistics partners ke through partial movement. Dono mein risk hai, lekin possible hai.
Aarohi ne dheere se jawaab diya.
Dono check karo. Quietly. Koi badi movement mat dikhana. Bas ye clear karo ki yeh chain todhe bina kaam aage badha sakte hain ya nahi.
Sneha ne han me sir hilati hue boli.
Main aaj se start karti hoon.
Aarohi ne folder wapas uski taraf badha diya.
Aur jo bhi information aaye, seedha mujhe dena. Team ko abhi full picture mat dena.
Sneha ne folder uthaya aur cabin se nikal gayi. Aarohi kuch moments tak apne laptop screen pe dekhti rahi. Phir usne Maharashtra project ki file kholi aur ek naya note add kiya.
Bypass possibility — check.
Shaam tak office ka zyada hissa khaali hone laga tha. Corridor mein din bhar ki bhaag-daud ki jagah ab kabhi-kabhi kisi employee ke halchal sunai dete, phir woh bhi door chale jaate. Aarohi ke cabin ki lights abhi bhi jal rahi thi. Desk par Maharashtra project ki files phaili hui thin. Technical objection, Pending clarification, Movement permits, Contractor complaints, Internal correspondence. Har document apni jagah dekho toh normal tha. Aarohi ne ek file kholi kuch padha phir doosri, dates compare ki usne ek page ko doosre ke paas rakha aur sir ko piche tika kar baith gyi, ankhen band thi lekin dimag me bhut kuch chal rha tha. Pichhle kuch dinon se woh har problem ko alag incident ki tarah dekh rahi thi. Ek technical objection, ek delayed approval, ek contractor ki complaint. Ab woh sab ek saath table par pade the. Wo har problems ke beech ka gap dekh rhi thi bahut chhota tha. uski ungli table par halki si ruki.
Tabhi door par knock hua. sneha andar aayi haath mein wahi alternate logistics report thi jo subah discuss hui thi.
Backup chain ka initial response aa gaya hai.
Possible hai?
Possible hai. Cost thodi zyada hai, lekin dependency kaafi kam ho jayegi.
Aarohi ne report apni taraf kheench li.
Good.
Sneha ne table par padi files ko dekha.
Tum abhi bhi isi mein ho?
Aarohi ne jawab dene ke bajay ek document uthaya aur uske neeche rakhe doosre page ke saath align kar diya.
Alag-alag dekho toh kuch bhi unusual nahi hai.
Sneha samajh gayi ki woh kis taraf ja rahi hai.
Saath mein dekho toh?
Aarohi ki nazar documents par thi.
Pattern.
Kuch der dono chup rahiin. Cabin ke bahar se kisi lift ke band hone ki awaaz aayi. Aarohi ne saamne rakhe papers ko ek baar aur dekha. Technical issue ne project ko formally nahi roka tha. Approval delay ne bhi nahi contractors ka pressure bhi manageable tha. Lekin har step par speed thodi kam ho rahi thi.
Bas thodi, Itni ki koi seedha ungli na utha sake. Aarohi ne saare papers ek jagah rakh diye.
Samajh aa gaya.
Sneha ne uski taraf dekha.
Kya?
Aarohi ne file band kar di.
Koi project ko rok nahi raha.
Usne ek pal rukkar saamne dekha.
Koi uski speed control kar raha hai.
Aur agar humein pata chal gaya kaun?
Tab decide karenge…
Usne file band kar di.
…problem solve karni hai. Ya problem ko hi replace karna hai.
Sneha kuch nahi boli. Aarohi ne chair se uthkar window ki taraf dekha. Neeche shehar ab bhi utni hi speed se chal raha tha.
Aur uske beech, kisi aur ke game ka pehla move shayad already ho chuka tha.
