Update 25
Contd :-
“Oh Shit… Kaun hoga….” Ruby ne darwaze pe dastak sun ke bharat se kaha… Bharat ne use shant rehne ka ishara kiya aur bed se uth ke apne kapde liye aur Ruby ke hath mein uske kapde fenke, jisse pakad ke ruby apne kapde pehnne lagi… Bharat ne jaldi se bed pe bichi hui bed sheet utaar di aur apne kapdon ke sath bathroom mein ghus gaya… Bharat ka ishara paate hi ruby darwaza kholne gayi aur saamne shalini ko khadi hui paya…
“Shalini tum… Itni raat ko.. Come in please” Ruby ne darwaze ke saamne se hat ke kaha..
“Ruby.. Bharat idhar hai kya… Kaafi der ho gayi, woh naa hi apna call utha raha hai, na hi koi msg kiya hai..” Shalini ne chintit hote hue ruby se kaha.. Isse pehle ruby kuch jawaab deti, saamne se use jawaab mila
“Haan main idhar hi hun dear… Kyun chinta kar rahi hai… Washroom mein tha… Abhi thodi der pehle ruby aur main tere kal ke interview ke bare mein baat kar rahe the.. Kal i want you to crack it… Main nahin chahta meri jaan kisi bhi cheez mein peeche ho samjhi… Chal now give me a darling hug ok…” Kehke bharat ne shalini ko kas ke gale lagaya aur uski peeth se ruby ko kuch ishaare mein bol raha tha… Kuch seconds mein jab shalini alag hui
“Acha sun ab.. Main jaata hun mere room mein… Tu aur ruby ek sath hi raho aaj ki raat, dopahar ka interview hai… Ruby, tu iski madat kar, and jo bhi karna pade woh kar, bas iska interview crack hona chahiye , ok na..” Bharat ne ruby ko dekh kaha
“Dont worry bharat.. Main koshish karungi…” Ruby ne shalini ke kande pakad ke kaha
“Thanks guys… waise bharat, tum idhar itni raat ko…” Shalini ne dheemi si awaaz mein pucha… Shalini ka yeh sawaal sunke ruby jhenp gayi aur mann hi mann mein kuch sochne lagi.. Par bharat, juth ki factory se bana hua insaan.. Use bilkul waqt nai laga jutha jawab banane mein
“Aise hi darling… Mujhe cigarette peene ki dil thi, teri neend nahin kharab karna chahta tha, isliye yahan aa gaya. Rahul bhi bahar hai..” Bharat ne apne jeb se cigarette nikal ke kaha
“Neend hi nahin aa rahi yaar… Mere baap ki wajah se kya kuch sehna pad raha hai.. Anyways, chal tu room mein jaa apne, main aur ruby yahin reh ke interview ki preparation karenge..” Shalini ne bharat se kaha aur ek nazar ruby pe bhi maari..
“Ok babe.. Chal bubye.. kal milte hain..” Kehke bharat apne room mein gaya. Apne room mein jaake bharat change karne laga aur sochne laga aagey ke baare mein…
“Ruby Ruby… Bas ek baar US pahunchne de.. Fir mere aur paison ke beech mein koi nahin aa payega… Shaadi.. Huh……” Bharat khud se bolne laga aur so gaya..
Bharat toh so gaya, lekin usne teen logon ki neend kharab kar rakhi thi, ya yun kaha jaaye ke bharat ek sath teen logon ke sath khel raha tha..
Shalini, jo andhon ki tarah bharat pe vishwaas kar rahi thi.. Use andaza bhi nahin tha ke yeh sab jo hua hai bharat ki wajah se hua hai.. Use bilkul pata nahin tha ke bharat ne uske baap se kya kaha hai. Shalini ne apne baap ko msg kar diya ke woh shaadi ke liye taiyar hai par woh sirf interview ke baad hi jayegi delhi ladka dekhne
Ruby, jiska dimaag toh use rok raha tha bharat pe vishwaas karne ko par dil nahin maan raha tha.. Bharat agar galat hota toh fir mujhe US kyun le jata.. Sirf yeh baat hi thi jo ruby ke dil pe chaai hui thi. Bharat ki sirf isi baat ne ruby ko jeet liya tha.. Lekin yeh toh bas shuruat thi, woh yeh nahin jaanti thi ke bharat Ruby ko kis tarah istemaal karne ka soch raha hai
Bhargav, bas yeh soch raha tha, ke sahi mein bharat delete kar dega woh clip ya nahin.. Uske aur shalini ki clip ki wajah se bhargav apna dimaag laga hi nahin paa raha tha aur woh bas uske ishaaron pe naach raha tha.. College dean ka prabal davedar, bhargav ne kabhi nahin socha tha ke uske sath aisa kuch hoga..
Us raat kareeb 4 baje tak college ke current dean aur bhargav ki meeting chali.. Aakhir placement change karna itna asaan kaam nahin hai.. Bhargav ne apni puri dimaagi taakat lagayi aur college ke dean ko convince kiya is baare mein… College ka dean maan toh gaya lekin bas uske ek sawaal ne bhargav ko paseena paseena kar diya
“Bhargav.. In sab mein tum itne personal kyun ho rahe ho… College ki jawabdari hai kisi ko placement dilane ki. par yeh sab badlaav, upar se sab ko placement apni marzi se chahiye.. Yeh teen students, Bharat, Ruby aur Shalini.. In sab mein tumhari dilchaspi kya hai.. Aur jahan tak mera khayal hai, Bharat aur Siddhartha ka result toh GS hi dega.. Usme tum kyun itna zor laga rahe ho ke woh job bharat ko hi miley.. Upar se shalini jo grades ke maamle mein kaafi peeche hain, use pehle GS ne select kiya, ab woh aana nahin chahti.. Aur ruby. Woh toh bright student hai.. Use khud itni chinta nahin hai, toh tum kyun itna personal interest le rahe ho…”
Dean ke is sawaal se bhargav jhenp gaya.. bhargav ke paas shabd nahin the.. Woh toh bas apni izzat aur position ke liye bharat ki ungliyon pe naach raha tha… Bhargav ko yun khamosh dekh dean ne fir kaha
“Bhargav.. Mike ko tum convince karoge, usme college ka intervention nahin rahega.. College ki taraf se tumhe go ahead hai tum jo chaho karo.. Tareeka tum socho.. Lekin bas is baat ka khayal rahe, agar Mike convince nahin hua, toh selected students pe bhi iska asar dikh sakta hai, saath hi saath college ki reputation kharab ho sakti hai.. Aur tumhare next dean banne ke chances bhi kam ho sakte hain… Good night now…
Agli subah ruby aur shalini kaafi taiyariyon mein lage hue the interview ke liye.. Kapdon se leke shalini ke chalne ke tarike tak.. Woh kya bole, kya nahin.. Ruby ne us har baat ke liye taiyar kiya.. Udhar bhargav ne mike ke sath aur Goldman Sachs ki HR executive ke sath meeting fix ki… Meeting shuru hui aur kareeb aadhe ghante mein kaafi discussion hua..
“Listen Mr Bhargav.. I cannot understand the changes you are proposing.. Shalini was already selected… Then if she is not ready for it now, thats fine.. But why do we replace her with some another student..” bhargav ke saamne bethi Goldman ki HR ex ne kaha.. Mike bhi is proposal se khush nahin lag raha tha.. Shalini ke baare mein jo usne soch rakha tha, woh ab nahin ho payega…
” I understand Sharon… Even if you dont select, you need to hire another student from any other campus as well.. So i just request you to please consider my proposal.. If you dont find this other student smart enough, then take my word.. GS is free to hire from any other campus.. No student from this campus in your company..” Bhargav ne ek jua lagaya
“Mr Bhargav be sure about this.. There are two students already in contention for investment banker spot.. Siddhartha and Bharat.. If your replacement for shalini is not fit enough, then one of these two also will suffer…” Sharon, HR ki bandi ne bhargav se kaha
“I am in Sharon.. Mike u fine with this…” Bhargav ne apni chaati chaudi karke kaha
“We are ok with this… And there are two things u should know about this now… First, we are pretty short on time.. We need the student right now for interview.. Tell her in 15 mins that she should be ready for interview… Second, GS is fine with Bharat and Siddhartha both.. How-ever being the functional head i recommend bharat for this post.. But my colleague here, Sharon, she opts for Siddhartha.. We have reached on a mutual conclusion… We need the college consent as to who should we select… We need your recommendation… You take any criteria and filter the results for us. Ofcourse with Dean’s letter signed duly by him.. Is that clear ? ” Mike ne sab ek saans mein use kaha
Bhargav ki gaand fatne lagi thi.. Ek toh woh sure nahin tha ke Ruby 15 min mein aa payegi ke nahin interview ke liye.. Aur dusri baat, use fir dean ke paas jaana padega convince karne ke liye ke bharat ko recommend kare..
“Ok Mike.. Girl will be here right away.. And we will send the recommendation by tonight if its ok…” Bhargav ne lambi saans leke kaha
“Ok Bhargav.. U have 15 mins, please send the girl” Sharon ne bhargav se kaha, aur bhargav ne bahar aake sabse pehle ruby ko message bhijwaya… Jaise hi ruby ko pata chala.. uski haalat kharab hui.. yeh chance use dobara nahin milna tha… Usne jhat se shalini ki madat se apne kapde select kiye aur ready hone lagi… Ready hoke ruby jald hi interview room ke paas jaane lagi.. Jaate jaate usne bharat ko kaafi baar call kiya par bharat ne uske ek call ka bhi answer nahin diya… Nervous hoke ruby interview dene andar gayi…
“May i come in please…” Ruby ne thodi unchi awaaz mein kaha
“Yes young lady.. we were expecting you.. Please take a seat..” Sharon ne ruby se kaha.. Ruby andar jaake uski chair pe beth gayi
“Ms. Ruby.. Before starting anything we would like to let you know that this lone interview will not suffice our requirement.. Since there are many last minute changes, Mike and Me are short of a committee today. Once me and mike are clear with you.. later in day, our entire committee of 5 people will conduct your interview.. Are you prepared enough for this..” Sharon ne apni kadak awaaz mein kaha
“Yes mam.. No problem” Ruby ne atmavishwaas ke sath jawaab diya
“Call me Sharon.. Mike lets start please” Sharon ne order dete hue kaha
Ruby ka interview kareeb 2 ghante tak chala… Un 2 ghanton mein ruby ne apni smartness ke sath apni knowledge ke sath Sharon ka dil jeet liye.. Mike khush tha, lekin shalini ki body ke baad ab use kisi aur mein dilchaspi nahin thi.. Usne formalty ke liye haan bol diya ke ruby aagey badh sakti hai..
“Ruby.. M truly impressed with you… You catch some breathe.. be here again in 45 mins.. As an HR member i should not say this, but 90 % ur through.. So just relax and come again here.. Bubye” Sharon ne ruby se kaha.. Yeh shabd sunke ruby ki khushi ka thikana nahin raha.. Bahar aake woh sabse pehle bharat se milna chahti thi, aakhir jo bhi ho, bharat ki wajah se hi use aaj acha career dikh raha tha. Woh daud ke bharat ke room ki taraf chal di.. Raaste mein use shalini dikhai di, jisse usko yaad aaya ke shalini ka bhi interview hai abhi 5 min mein.
“Shalini.. Dear please relax… And all the best ok… Dont be nervous… Tujhe sab yaad hai na jo maine kaha” Ruby ne shalini ka hath pakad ke kaha
“Haan Ruby.. I know, chal main jaa rahi hun… And thanks a lot.. agar main select hui toh aaj party teri..” Kehke shalini ne ruby ke gaal pe ek kiss kiya aur interview room ki taraf badh gayi..
Shalini ke interview mein 5 log bethe the.. India ki number one private bank ka aaj interview tha.. 5 logon ko dekh ke shalini ki haalat toh kharab hui, par usne confidently apne saare sawalon ka jawab diya.. Dusri taraf Bhargav aur Dean Siddhartha aur Bharat ke comparison criteria set karne mein lage hue the… Bhargav ne pura zor lagaya ke bharat hi select ho.. Haala ke dean use convinced tha, par siddhartha ek do major points mein usse aagey tha… Do ghante beet chuke the, bhargav aur dean ne final marks nikal ke GS ko ek official PM kiya, aur uski print personally Sharon aur Mike ko dene nikal pade.. Udhar Ruby ne do rounds puri committee ke aagey achi tarah clear kar diye… Shalini ke presentation se bank wale khush the, par woh zyada convinced nahin lag rahe the…
“Ms Shalini… Take some time, kuch waqt ka break lijiye… 90 minutes ke baad hum fir is room mein milenge aur aap ko jawaab denge.. Ek do points hain hamare zahan mein . Woh clear karke hum aapke placement cell mein jawaab de denge.. Thank you for coming” Shalini jaise hi bahar aayi usne bharat aur ruby ke sath milna sahi samjha… Lekin bharat subah se kisi ka call nahin utha raha tha.. Naa toh Shalini ka, Naa toh Ruby ka
“Aakhir hai kahan bharat” Ruby ne Shalini se pucha
