They worked in the same office.
But, they did not want anyone to know about their love.
So, they decided that they will meet outside office-in a resort.
They planned for it well.
Helen told her boss that she was not feeling well so, she needed a couple of days leave.
Rajeev said he had to attend to his mother who was sick.
So, they set out to a resort to have a great time together.
They told their families that they have office meetings and so, they had to leave town.
Most unexpectedly,Rajeev's mother met with an accident.
His sister admitted her mother in hospital and came to office to get his contact address and phone number. Rajeev had switched off his cellphone.
The boss was confused and informed the girl that there was no meeting taking place anywhere else.
But,he decided he had to find out the truth behind all this.
He told the girl that Rajeev had applied for leave to attend to his ailing mother.
Rajeev's sister was confused too.She said that her mother fell down in the bathroom just an hour back.
She had been quite fine till then.
Listening to this,the boss became very angry.
But, he could not do anything in the situation.He had to wait.
The next day,the boss went to the 'ATM' counter near his house and on his way back ,he saw something that took his breath away.He saw Rajeev and Helen at the taxi stand,lost in their own world.
The boss caught them red-handed.
He said to Rajeev,"You must be ashamed of yourself.You said your mother was very sick when actually she was not.Your bad intentions have really affected you now.Your mother slipped in the bathroom and she is in the hospital."
He was angry with Helen too.So, she too got to hear her part of the music.
The boss said that the right punishment for them would be to let their family know what they really are. So, he took Rajeev and Helen to the hospital where Kishen's mother was admitted.
The boss went into the room to see Rajeev's mother.
Both Rajeev and Helen waited for the worst but, nothing happened.
After a while,they went into the room and were astonished to see their boss begging forgiveness from Rajeev's mother.
Rajeev had a galore of questions in his mind.
Who is he?How does he know my mother?Why is he pleading guilty?
After much of prodding,his mother said that 'the boss'was actually his father who had deserted them even before Rajeev was born.
Rajeev was dumb-struck but, it was now Helen's turn to talk.
When the boss came out of the room she thought it was the right opportunity.
She said,"Sir, you have no right to scold or embarrass Rajeev and me, in front of our family.It is our own wish to do what we want.
We have only spent a couple of days together at a resort.It is much better than the behaviour you have shown.
Helen was very happy for having given it back on the same coin to her boss.
With a contented feeling she turned to leave, when she felt someone looking at her from the pharmacy next door.
Who was it?
My God!It was her husband.
Would he have heard all that she told her boss now?
