"Ohh it's you Dizzy. Why you scream," said Raghav taking a small breath.
"I'm—I'm just a little surprised."
"Why?" he asked.
"It's eight o'clock," said the resident softly, Dizzy.
"Oh," said Raghav. And he sat back on his chair, and looked at her.
"Can I get a toothbrush and paste," said the boss to his assistant.
"Y-yes I can," said the woman and nodded.
"Anything else?" she asked him. And Raghav looked thoughtful.
"Bring me coffee and do you have breakfast?" asked Raghav.
"I took an apple," said Dizzy.
"Ok, bring breakfast for two, and bring a big bottle of wine, and a whisky. And anything you like to eat," said Raghav looking at his watch.
She nodded and went to complete his order.
After an hour, they were eating their breakfast in silence, when Raghav asked a question.
"What are you doing here early?" And Dizzy looked at him.
"Nothing, just some work was left here and there," said Dizzy to her boss.
"So do you often come this early, or is it just a coincidence that I saw you are early two times when I was early that time, or it's a coincidence?" asked Raghav.
"Never lie to your boss if you can't hide it," said Raghav looking at her, and Dizzy looked sheepish.
"Well, I'm a little workaholic," said Dizzy.
"I like to work, and I really don't have anything to do in the house otherwise, and I'm an early worker, so it helps," said Dizzy. And Raghav didn't think more about it.
"I haven't heard much news lately, is anything worth noticing?" asked Raghav to his assistant.
"There is that meteor crashing near the construction site area, and it does some heavy damage in the place, and broke many windows from kilometres range, and also cracked some of our windows as well. And surprisingly no one was harmed, or dead. Scientists were looking for any form of radiation and the reason," said Dizzy.
"Anything else?" asked Raghav.
"Nothing just some minor news, that Krish fellow saved some people from a burning house, a thief in the city looting the rich, with a mask and something like that, and after doing his job, he lefts behind a devil emoji, and then the storm in the Maldives." And Raghav perked.
"What about Maldives?" asked Raghav.
"No news has come but we have sent an envoy of reporters there, but it's a bit dangerous, the storm is one of its kind," said Dizzy. And Raghav nodded.
"And then there is the submarine that got lost." And Raghav looked at her.
"Who has gone to that area?" asked Raghav.
"Team three has gone there," said Dizzy. And Raghav looked thoughtful.
"Send help and supplies to the people in Maldives and help them in all ways, and make a small blog in paper and news about the state of affairs of the Maldives, and told them raise funds for the area, and donate our one month income in that charity, and send the money to the source directly, I'm gonna talk to the prime minister about it, and that meteor explosion, cover all the destruction caused by it. I estimate it'll be near some millions, look for yourself and get me a report by the end of this week." And Dizzy looked at him a little weirdly.
"But sir, it'll be quite a sum," said Dizzy.
"I buy cars for no reason, if it's gonna affect the company, sell two of my cars, it'll be good enough for all things," said Raghav, drinking the wine.
"Ok!" Dizzy said.
"And do one more thing, book a flight, in the opening of Ram Setu, I'm taking everyone in the office there, for free. And informed the news crew that we are gonna set temporary studios there, every single one of our men will be there. Informed Supriya about this change, it's a month later we will have plenty of time. And also called the manager of my hotel there. We sat at our base there, and told them to not to take any customers in that time period, we'll occupy that building by ourselves, and get the needed file and documents ready," Raghav said to Dizzy.
She nodded to his command and took a sip of her drink.
"We're gonna need some new staff for that ordeal," said Dizzy.
"I'll interview them," said Raghav. And they finish their meal. And when Raghav came out of the washroom after washing his hand, he saw Dizzy picking the plates, which he after seeing went to help her. And she tries to deny it but Raghav insists on helping, and in the end they decide to help each other. Raghav took his own plate and the wine bottle, and they were chattering like a normal couple, and they were going to the side of the wash area. And someone from a far corner sees that.
"Hey Jay see," said Jiya to her twin sister. And they both looked at the direction she was pointing.
"Isn't it the boss and his secretary? What are they doing with those plates and wine bottles?" said Jay to the people around them. And a murmur starts to rise about the scene. But Jiya was looking at them glaring obviously.
The office started, and Jiya in her little revealing clothes was holding a hand exerciser device in her hand. She was looking at a particular news plate in an online news form. And that was about his topic of his thought. Raghav and her secretary Dizzy.
The blog that she was looking at was about the topic of Raghav and Daisy's relationship. And she didn't like it a bit. And when she was glaring a hole on the monitor screen.
"Miss Jay, boss's order. Write an ad about the storm in the Maldives. It's about the charity, so ask for help. And the news writer hasn't come today, so write a paragraph also for help, the animation department will need that in a few hours, so do it quickly," said Dizzy. And Jay looked at her. And when she was leaving she stopped her. And asked her a question.
"Hey Daisy, is anything happening between you and your boss," Jay asked, asking the question that was buzzing in everyone's mind.
She denied the claims and told her that she and boss had nothing between them. "We have nothing between us," said Dizzy in her defence looking uncomfortable.
"Then why does boss talk about you with the prime minister of India?" asked Jiya, showing her the monitor she was looking at.
"Well you are more famous than a small celeb now," said Jiya.
"You are a little hot topic there," said another of the office members.
And soon murmurs start about her and the boss. And she didn't know what to reply, and the talks were going far, too far her liking, when they heard a shout.
"Enough," said the half-enraged boss, Raghav.
And everybody got silent.
"What's happening here?" asked Raghav, looking at everyone. And no one replied.
"If anyone has anything to say about Dizzy and me, say it right now, I'm listening." And he folded his hand behind.
"Go on," said Raghav. And no one replied.
"Nothing to say. I expected more from my patrien, I was planning to invite everyone to the opening of the Ram Setu, but seeing how you all are acting. I don't think you all will go there. This is not an office where you can just spread gossip around, it's a news station. Didn't anyone here know how gossip can become a mass problem? I expect better of you all. I'm disappointed," said Raghav looking at them.
"Daisy, go back on your work, and Jiya, you better complete both tasks she gave, I'm personally gonna check those tasks, so do it properly," said Raghav, in an angry tone. And then he looked at Dizzy.
"Miss Daisy, invite the applicants today. And inform me if anyone else messes or talks mouth with you. Just inform me once, the applicant might get their jobs quickly," said Raghav leaving a threat behind his word. He enters his office. And now the rumours have solid proof, but they could do nothing about it. And Jiya, looking at the situation, presses her hand exerciser, and almost breaks it, in anger, and an onyx colour appeared in her eyes.
Raghav was in an angry state right now, so to calm his mind, he looked at his door, and took out the book that it all started.
He opened the book and skipped the pages he had read, and reached a page where several paragraphs were written. He started reading it through, and the more he read, the clearer his head became. He now knew how things happen and what they have done with Maya, the old sage will clear the kaal with his ancient art and yagya. And then he looked at the part of soma, which indicated why they need soma that much, and other things.
And while he was reading all of this, in a far away land, the black suited guy from earlier, entered a subway station in America, he looked at his pocket watch, and then the people around him, they were normal humans, busy with their work and other stuff. His clothes can be justified as normal as others, but his skin colour and walking manners were quite different from others.
"Sometimes I wonder, why am I doing this?"
And he looked at a person in particular, who was wearing out of fashion clothes compared to others. The underground station was full with people, and the sudden arrival of the train made that subway even more crowded. But the man in black clothing kept on looking at the oddly dressed man. He looked at his watch, and then at the oddly dressed man, who looked very sad, and nervous for some reason.
And then with a shout of,
"ALLAH HU AKBAR," the man pulled a wire from his chest coat. And the entire subway shook in an explosion, black clouds and dust got released from the entrance of that subway. Making every citizen cover themselves in fear.
And all around the street went into a deafening uproar.
And the man in the black clothes was still standing at the same place as before. He wasn't fazed by that bomb at all. He didn't even budge a bit from his place, and didn't even look around. He knows all of them were just dead bodies, and that's the reason why he came here in the first place.
He kept looking at the place where the bomber man was standing a moment before, where now a burning crater was formed. He looked at the burning crater for some time and then a cloud of black smoke and ash started to rise from that same spot, and from the dead bodies of others that same black smoke was rising, and mixed with little sparks and fire, it took the form of a human, and two black hollow eyes emerged from the dust, and took the form of a man. And the man was dressed in black clothes hanging loose on his body with a long beard and short cut hair with a Middle Eastern look and black hollow eyes.
"Emit," said the now fully formed man.
"Mrityu," said the man now known as Emit.
"May I know the reason, why the venturer of time has graced me with his presence."
"Always on point. Well, I came here to inform you of something."
"And what that might be, that you came in time for my work."
"Well, first, Maya your dear sister got captured, and a new Maharakshak has emerged from the ground, and he has somehow got the power of him."
"Oh!" said the man.
"That's why you were needed," said the emerging man.
"Well that's sad news, but I didn't see why you came here?" asked the man again. And immediately replied.
"Plans has changed, and I have a plan," said the man in black.
"I'm listening," Mrityu replied.
