Chapter - 32
Avinash was gettig late for office so he gave key to security guard . He came almost one hour late from speculated time. Security guard identified Nisar as soon as he saw him dialling number from his mobile on gate of society hence as per instruction of Avinash he gave flats key to him.
when Avinash came back from office in evening he saw Nisar sleeping in bedroom..Avinash didn't like to disturb him. After almost half an hour Nisar came out from bedroom. After handshake Nisar sat on chair silently.
'I didn't believe when you called up informing that you were coming back , secondly why did you stop calling .' Avinash asked
'I had stopped calling you since situation was giving clear indication that I was to see you in Bombay any moment. So I thought instead of calling,why shouldnt meet you directly.' Nisar smirked
'Any way what had happened that you had to return within three months.'
'It is kind of puzzle even I myself couldn't understand. It was amazing and pitiable too that I got terminated after getting completed all the formalities of medical, even residence permit of three years also got stamped on my passport.'
'was there any specific reasons.'
'You can say either I was under qualified, or overqualified for the position, or I was made scapegoat because you know, people get advantage out of others weakness or ones different personality. Who was benefited and who would be benefited after my termination i dont know, but one thing is sure that this three month of experience and some where experience of one and half month will prove lethal, more detrimental, such short experiences are like shot on ones career one has to succumb anyhow.'
After a pause Nisar continued
'Infact I have been trapped by network of people who in anyhow want me to get demoralized, I can't be offensive since my conscience doesn't allow me to be'
'Tell clearly you again begun baffling ' Avinash interrupted
''Leave the matter' Nisar replied moving towards his bag. He brought one packet out from bag, passed it to Avinash.
what is this.' Avinash asked
'T-Shirt and a wrist watch. I purchased it on Dubai Airport's
'Thank.Avinash replied keeping it on bed.
'How your work is going on and how is Sohini.' Nisar asked
everything is fine. I have been designated Project engineer and got increment too.'
'Congratulation' Nisar said smilingly
'Sohini is in Azamgarh. Her class is going to start from next month so probably will come end of this month'
Nisar went to bathroom to get fresh . Avinash changed the cloth later both finished their meals.
In dim light of night bulb, Avinash was lying on his bed thinking about nightmare Nisar had gone through, how long it will keep wilting him, when will ongoing nightmare stop pursuing him. On the other side Nisar was lying on ther bed turning her face to wards scratched, bloated old plastered wall, Nisar was trying to discern the meaning of empty ness, comparing his destiny to it where nothing was written over it except scratches, bloating, crust of past bad phases.
Days were passing as usual. One and half months have passed since Nisar came back from Dubai. His daily activity was to go out near cyber cafe twice in week, would spend few hours over there later came back. Avinash had also stopped asking him bout his activities, their conversations were confined to programme they watched on channel.
One day Avinash came back in staff room after giving instruction to technicians to finish the work by evening. He was making report on progress of work just then Mr Grover entered in his room.
'Avinash, pls come.' Project Manager told him and came out.
Avinash arranged the papers in order, keep all documents inside the file, later put it in drawer.Mr Grover directed him to sit and passed him an internal memo in his hand.'
Avinash gave a look at memo.

'Ok. I give you two days leave, sort out the matter.'
