Backstab - Part 4

Whenever at any board meetings any issue cropped up or if any matter was to be discussed, then Veer and Shikha would always be at loggerheads. Every time trying to cut the other and contradict each other.


But these gruelling debates would turn into love, no-one could ever even imagine. But it did happen. Since Abhishek and Manvi were busy with the daily chores of office, it was decided to send Veer and Manvi to Agra to attend a conference. Well, Agra – the city that houses The Taj – the symbol of love, who could resist falling in love.

In front of the Taj Veer proposed to Shikha and she consented.

Post the Board meeting, at Vishal’s residence, Vishal, Manvi and Veer were discussing about ways to bump Abhishek further, but they still couldn’t understand how come even the other party turned out to be a fraud.

“It was because of me.” entered Shikha.

Rest of the three together,
“You.”, in a proper questionable and shocking tone.

“Yes. It’s me. I also have a small revenge to take against that f*****g loser.”

Veer concerned, “What did he do to you sweety?”

“I will let you know soon. Currently I am more interested in getting rid of him from my life and teach him a lesson of a lifetime.”

Now, since these four master-minds had shaken hands together, Abhishek was sure to have a royal time, and all that in a situation where he does not even know he is being targeted and some people are up in arms plotting against him.


Well, no one is alone in this world. Tables had to turn but the question was, was it in favour of Abhishek or it tilted further towards Manvi and gang.


Once Manvi was late for office and there was a surprise waiting for her when she entered Abhishek’s cabin.

There inside talking to him was none other than Meghna. She silently hid behind the door but failed to hear the entire conversation.

After Meghna left Abhishek’s cabin just as Manvi was about to enter, she saw Meghna going straight to Shikha’s cabin. Now that was more of a shocker. Do Shikha and Meghna know each other? And why are they meeting up in Abhishek’s office?

Here again she slid behind the door and tried to overhear them. And this conversation was a lot more audible.

“What do you think you are doing Shikha?”

“Meghna. How come you in my office?”

“Shikha, didn’t I tell you not to do anything to Abhishek.”

“But he spoilt your life Di. How could I let him go off so easily?”

Manvi was stunned. And in her anger she did one of the biggest blunders ever.

She marched directly into Abhishek’s cabin and gave him two tight slaps right across his face.

Abhishek was way too shocked to react. He just kept staring at Manvi in her eye while she broke down.

“Why the hell did you have to do this to me? I have always loved you more than myself. And you…you ditched me for that s***t.”

Abhishek still was not aware of what exactly was she talking about as it had been a long time since he and Meghna parted ways.

“Just to stay in touch with that b***h, you gave her sister the job. Now I understand why were you stressing on Shikha getting the job instead of Veer.”

Now, that was a shock for Abhishek, as he was totally unaware of the fact that Shikha was Meghna’s sister.

And the next thing he does is summoning Shikha to his cabin.

Meghna had left the office, but the office atmosphere was surely going to be in turmoil.

Shikha entered Abhishek’s cabin, and seeing Manvi in tears at the other end, she understood that something was surely wrong, and had to be really careful with her words.

“Ms. Shikha. Can I please know who was that female you just met in your cabin?”

“Sorry sir, but if I am not wrong, she came to my cabin after meeting you only.”

“Don’t try and act over smart with me. You clearly know what I am pointing towards.”

“Yes, Mr.Abhishek, I know what you want me to speak about.”

“You are fired.”

“You can’t do that.”

“Do you know whom you are playing around with? I am the owner of this damn company.”

“I don’t care.”

“Do you wish to leave with respect or thrown out from here?”

“None of the two.”

“And what do you think will convince me not to fire you?”

“We both have a copy of the employment contract signed between us. It clearly states on the 5th page clause no. 7, that even if both the parties agree the contract cannot be brought to an end before completion of a year.”

“You think that contract is going to save you.”

“Atleast for your company’s reputation, you may have to. And then there are just six months for that year to get over. And by then who know’s, even the company maybe over.”

“What the hell are you trying to say?”

But Shikha jus walked out of the cabin, and Abhishek did sniff in that something was fishy.
