meri hikmat e amli news ate wakt

Vijay was little apprehensive of some unfavorable decision of the Boss.
One in the group asked taking a swig of whisky, “ So…who is that lucky guy?”
Nayana’s father chuckled, took a swig and said, “Guess who that fellow is.”

“How could we know Sir?”
“Does he work in our office?” speculated one of them.
Nayana’s father sneaked assertively and answered, “yes..you are right.”

But still I can’t” The fellow pretended to be still clueless about that…perhaps by this, he wanted to flatter the boss. He was cunning enough to know that overriding the Boss is not going to help him. It’s better to keep him happy .

“you quit?”, asked Nayana’s father.
“Yes… I quit.” The fellow surrendered. He knew that every ass likes to hear himself bray.

Nayana’s father perhaps liked the attitude of the fellow and blessed him with one more chance, “OK…one more clue…”

He took a snooping pause and said, “he works with my daughter….now guess”
Vijay was exhilarated to hear all this. He was now anxious to know the name as he had a tough competition from other same aged guys in his office.

The fellow chuckled and answered, “Vijay…am I right?” He had to be right this time.

“What next? I told you everything what happened.” Vijay responded.
"No… but why did he terminate you? There must be something which made him take such a disastrous step..something happened in between..” Priya asked.

“then what... it was a holiday the next day. Everybody was fatigued with yester night’s party. I was also relaxing the whole day. And when I went to office the third day, a termination letter was waiting for me at the desk.” Vijay grinned.

“What?… a sudden termination order”*
“That’s what… I was also shocked.”

“Without any notice? They must have mentioned something in the letter.” Priya interrogated.

Vijay replied, “They did mention...due to some unavoidable reasons...we have no other option than to terminate you...so as per the rules, we ar
e attaching three months salary cheque with this letter. And a cheque was attached to the letter.”

Unavoidable reasons? Is there anyone else who is terminated along with?” probed Priya.
No, I tried to investigate. Only I am te
rminated.”Vijay said.

“Did you try investigating further?” Priya asked.
“Yes...I did..I searched for Nayana... And I came to know that Nayana is on leave for next one week. When I tried to meet Nayana’s father, his secretary told that his calendar for the next one week is booked.. hence I cannot meet him...my coll
