Chapter 37: chapter 37

Author's POVWhen Aditya reached home, he heard Kriti Complaining about  how she is not satisfied with the designs."What happened my princess, why do you look so dull?", he asked.."Your princess didn't like the designs today", Meera replied.."Seriously, Kriti, you didn't like them I think I have to replace my whole designers team then..""What should I do now bro, '' Kriti asked??"Why don't you come to my office tomorrow? I will ask my team to show their latest designs , you choose one of them",Aditya replied..Really bro, that's a good idea then, I will come to your office tomorrow.."Kriti ,why don't you call Priya and ask her  to come along with you , she too asked for something different",Meera replied.."Now ,who is this Priya?? "Aditya asked.."oh ! she is Hardik's sister bro""Ok, call her then", Aditya replied..Next day, at around 10:00 Am Kriti,Meera along with Rekha and Priya came to Aditya's office..Aditya personally went to invite them as Hardik's mother and sister have also come.When Priya saw Aditya she was totally mesmerised..She thought he looks much  more handsome in real than T.VShe started blushing when she saw him..But Aditya except for saying hello to Priya, he didn't give her a  glance at all..He personally took them all  to the designing department..The team were already informed about their arrival, so they were ready with their designs..You people have a look and once you are done, come to my office.. He said and left for his room..Four ladies sat across the table and started looking at the designs..After two hours of searching, Kriti and Priya were happy to see new designs , but they  felt something was missing..When they finished , they went to Aditya's office.."bro  , the designer who designed the  launch ,I  want to see her designs??  Kriti  asked."Sorry Kriti, she is not working for us now",Aditya replied.."Oh!! I thought I could wear her designs" , Priya replied  with disappointment..Priya's mom never obliges her daughter's desires..So she said, " Beta , she is your ex-employee , can't you ask her once to  design this time for us, we will pay her the amount"Before Aditya could say something, Meera interrupted and said," Of course Mrs Rekha , Aditya  will talk to her, so don't worry..She said this because she didn't want to disappoint them..Soon the ladies left..During dinner time, Meera asked Aditya  about the designer Kriti and Priya have wished for.."Meera maa, she is not working with us now, I can't ask her to design this time".Aditya replied firmly.."Give her the hefty  amount Aadi, who doesn't want money , she will agree" grandma said.."I don't think she will accept grandma", Aditya replied firmly.."But , I am worried Kriti's in-law will be annoyed.I already gave her a word ",Meera said worriedly.."You don't worry Meera, Aditya just tell  me  the name and address of the designer,I will go talk to her, I will see why  she  will not agree??""Grandma ,are you really gonna talk to her", '' Kriti replied..Yes, of course , I will do anything for my darling.. "Adi ,just tell me the name of the designer", grandma replied.." Her name is Sanjana grandma'', `` I will give the address to the driver tomorrow"..Meera felt she heard the name before but she didn't give much thought because there can be many people with the same name..Aditya looked into his grandma's eyes directly and asked " Are you sure you want to go??"Grandma was flabbergasted when she heard the name..Aditya's grandma didn't understand how to react. she didn't expect the talented designer to be Sanjana..She  gave a  word in front of everyone that she will go meet her and moreover Kriti's in-laws wanted that girl's designs.Nobody in the house knows that she went  to Sanjana's house and spoke ill about them.She was faking a smile in front of others, but she was struggling inside..She thought she will talk to Aditya when he is alone. Her task would be easy, if Aditya can himself call Sanjana.. After  dinner when everyone went to their respective rooms, grandma went to Aditya's room..he heard the knock on the door, as  expected it was his grandma..When grandma entered the room, Aditya stood straight with hands in his pockets, faked a smile and asked," Grandma , you want something??"She nodded and asked," The  Sanjana you mentioned just now, is she Rekha's daughter??"Aditya sighed and said, " Yes grandma, she is the one"..Aditya  observed her expressions keenly..Oh!! So why did she resign?? Grandma asked as if she didn't know anything..Aditya took a breath and said," I don't know grandma, one day I received a mail from HR department that had her resignation letter I called her and asked her the reasonShe said she has her own personal problems.I tried to change her mind ,but she was  adamant..I couldn't relieve  her immediately because she is the most talented designer of our company. It will be a huge loss for me, I have accepted many clients just because of her and she suddenly wanted to leave.. I told her I will give a few more days to rethink her decision and will double the salary she is getting , but she didn't respond..Finally I didn't want her to suffer, so I just accepted her resignation recently and the jewellery company is losing its clients... She is indeed very talented,, if she would have been in our company she would have added fortune to us, but it's really our bad luck that she resigned..In fact , when I heard from my sources that other companies are trying to poach her ,  I thought she is beautiful , talented and moreover mom's friend's daughter , if I can marry her , she will be associated with our company.. But it's my bad luck and our company's bad luck that she resigned..I still don't understand the reason behind it, she was good before the launch and suddenly she gave me a cold shoulder from the next day.." Aditya replied in a disappointing tone.."Oh!! ok.. can you call her once and ask her if she can design  for this time at least", Grandma asked.." I  don't think so, grandma, she is not lifting my call at all. I tried calling from other numbers as well but as soon as she heard my voice she hung up. I don't know why she is so upset with me", Aditya replied..Aditya's grandma started regretting going to Sanjana's house , she thought  it would have been better if she had gone to them  after a few days.. who thought Kriti and her in-laws wanted her designs..."She sighed and said, it's ok Aditya, I will find some way.. ", she said and left the room..A cunning smile appeared on his lips when he saw her leaving..Aditya's grandma  couldn't sleep the whole  night, she was worried about how to put her pride away and go talk to Sanjana..She started thinking of other options to persuade Sanjana..*********Dear readers, please do comment if you like this story.
