Amavasya Ki Raat (Moonless Night)
Chapter 5
Investors: "We truly appreciate you taking the time to meet with us on such short notice, especially considering you've just arrived from abroad. Your promptness and flexibility mean a great deal to us." 😊😊
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
It was my pleasure, really. 😊
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
Now that we've covered everything, I'll take my leave. I've a pressing engagement at home, and I'm already running a bit behind.
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
My assistant will take care of the paperwork and ensure a seamless follow-up.
Investors: "Of course, absolutely. We'll work closely with your P.A. to finalize the details. Thank you again, Mr. Chandravanshi."
—As Mrityunjay stepped out of the office room, he swiftly made his way towards the parking lot—
—As he traversed the hallway, his gaze fell upon a familiar figure engaged in conversation with the receptionist—
Shikhar Kapoor (ML Friend)
You're a tough negotiator, I must say. 😁😁
Shikhar Kapoor (ML Friend)
By the way, do you have any idea when your boss's meeting will wrap up?
Receptionist: "I'm afraid Mr. Chandravanshi can't be disturbed during meetings. He's quite particular about not being interrupted.
If you'd like to wait, please take a seat over there. I have other tasks to attend to, so I'll need to excuse myself and get back to work." ☺️💢
Shikhar Kapoor (ML Friend)
Your voice is lovely, but I must say, your attitude are even more impressive. (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
*Approaching them* I think there's been a misunderstanding, Shikhar.
Shikhar Kapoor (ML Friend)
*Looks toward the voice*
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
Her demeanor is simply a reflection of her dedication to her role, not an attitude.
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
Shall we? *Motions for Shikhar to follow him*
Shikhar Kapoor (ML Friend)
*Smirking* Yeah, she wouldn't let me in.
Shikhar Kapoor (ML Friend)
I guess I didn't meet her high security standards. *Chuckles lightly*
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
As I've said before, it's her job to ensure that only authorized individuals gain access.
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
I'm sure you understand the importance of maintaining confidentiality and security in our line of work. ☺️☺️
Shikhar Kapoor (ML Friend)
*Dramatically placing his hand on his chest, mock hurt* Ouch, that's a bit harsh, don't you think, Jay? 🥺🥺
Shikhar Kapoor (ML Friend)
I'm wounded. *Smile playfully*
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
*Rolled eyes and walk away*
Shikhar Kapoor (ML Friend)
HEY!
Shikhar Kapoor (ML Friend)
Bye, lady. *Waved his hand*
Receptionist: *Chuckles, shake head* "He was cute."
Shikhar Kapoor (ML Friend)
Whoa, brother, where have you been?
Shikhar Kapoor (ML Friend)
Radio silence - no calls, no messages, no nothing! I'm starting to think I should've invested in a homing pigeon.
Shikhar Kapoor (ML Friend)
I'd have tied a note to its leg and sent it your way, since you seem to respond to messages on a 84-hour delay!!
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
*Dryly* Spare me the theatrics. I've had a long flight and an even longer meeting. I'm running on fumes.
Shikhar Kapoor (ML Friend)
I knew you'd be tired, so I came to drive you home. You're always particular about your car, anyway. 😁😁
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
No need, I'll drive myself. Besides, I'm headed to the Chandravanshi Bhavan, not condominium.
Shikhar Kapoor (ML Friend)
Visiting Mom and Dad?
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
Yeah.
Shikhar Kapoor (ML Friend)
That's great!
Shikhar Kapoor (ML Friend)
Mom deserves to give you severe punishment for running away from marriage discussion.
Shikhar Kapoor (ML Friend)
After all, a mom's got the right to scold her lovely son every now and then! ╮(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)╭
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
Oh-ho, come on, join me! I'll tell Mom that you're eagerly waiting to get hitched!
Shikhar Kapoor (ML Friend)
😨 No way, brother! You're not getting me into that!
Shikhar Kapoor (ML Friend)
*Turns around, makes a quick escape, sprinting towards his car*
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
*Chuckles*
—As Mrityunjay entered the house. He stepped inside cautiously. Slowly, he moved through the familiar corridors—
—His destination was his room, but to get there he had to pass through his parents' room—
—As he passed their door, a sudden sound shattered the silence, making his heart skip a beat—
—His eyes widened, and he ran fast to escape the unsettling surprise—
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
I thought people were supposed to slow down at this age, but I guess Mom and Dad are still...getting it done!
