Distant Love

Let it be....

        In these troubled times, Mr. Johnson had only one hope, Mr. Pratap.  Mr. Pratap was his good friend and he also had many connections in media. He hoped that he can help him to surpress the video and the reporters. 

        Mr Johnson, directly went to his villa. 

       " Hello Mr. Johnson, please come. Long time no see. How did you come here early in this morning " Mr. Pratap asked him. 

       " Mr. Pratap, it was really urgent, that's why I had to come here early in the morning. Sorry to trouble you. " Mr. Johnson explained. The servent served them tea. 

       " Tell me. What can I do for you? " Mr. Pratap asked him while offering a tea to him. 

       He told Mr. Pratap everything and told him that reporters had some misunderstanding about that video. Mr. Pratap listened carefully to all his words. 

       Mr. Pratap was paused for a moment then said " I have also heard about that incident. But I think it is true. "

        Mr. Johnson was a little panic. He knew that this is his daughter's fault. He won't be able to deny it. What if he refused to help him. 

        He said with hesitation " I know sir. But she told us that it is a misunderstanding. Even though it's her fault she is my daughter. It's my duty to save her. It's affecting our honour. She is very sorry for her mistake. So that's why I am asking for your help to surpress this video and the reporters. "

        " Fine. Mr. Johnson, I will do whatever I can. But now I have to go out. " Mr. Prtap said assuring him. 

        " Thank you so much, Mr. Pratap. Now I will take my leave. " Mr. Johnson bowed in front of him and came out from the villa. Then he directly went to his home where reporters were waiting for him. 

         Watching reporters in front of the house, He went in through the back door.

        Siya had already told Vikram that there is no need to sue Roma. So Vikram dropped that plan but that was not enough for Vikram. Vikram called Aman " Aman,  fix my meeting with the directors of the  CK university tomorrow only.

        " But why? Why do you want to meet them suddenly? " Aman asked curiously not understanding the situation. 

        " Do it for now. You will know soon. " Vikram said with vicious smile and hung up the phone. Aman did not know the reason behind it. But he knows that whatever he is doing is only for Siya. 

        He then called those directors and fixed the meeting between them tomorrow evening on Pearl hotel. 

         Sid was watching TV when his phone rang. The phone call was from his father. He picked up the call and asked " Hello Dad, how are you? "

          Mr. Pratap answered " Hi son. I am good. You haven't come home for a long time, come and have dinner together with us. Your mother is missing you don't you know that? "

          Sid said apologetically " I am sorry Dad. I was busy in work. But I promise I will come soon. "

          Mr. Pratap said " Okay. Fine. Listen I have some work for you to do. "

          It was rare that his father asking for him to do his work. So he asked curiously " Tell me Dad. What can I do for you? "

          " You remember Mr. Johnson right. There is a lot of talk about him in the news. He is my good friend. So I want you to suppress that news as soon as possible. " Mr. Pratap said. 

          " But Dad it's her own daughter's fault. She must pay for her sins don't you think that? " Sid questioned. 

          " Siddharth, he is my good friend. It is our duty to help them when they are in need. Understand. " Mr. Pratap said. Anger can be heard in his voice. 

Whenever his father used to call him by his full name, then he understood that now he cannot argue any more with his father because it means that his father is angry. Then he didn't answer back. 

          " Okay Dad. I will do your work, but it will take time. " Sid answered then he hung up the phone. 

Vishal was curious about what was Sid talking about so he asked " What happened Sir? Is everything alright? "

           " My father has asked me to suppress this news. I knew that Mr. Johnson would go straight to my father to ask for help, but did not think so soon." Sid told him the situation. He took his coat and started going towards the door when Vishal asked " So shall I talk to  our coordinators to suppress this news? "

           Sid turned back and said with a smile " No need of that. Let it be as it is. " 

Vishal was now really confused how can he disobeys his own father's word. He asked again " What answer will you give to your father? "

           " Tell him that Behind this is the work of some big man, which even we cannot stop." Sid said with a smile. 

           " But where are you going right now? We have some work to discuss. " Vishal said trying to stop him from going anywhere. 

           " We will work later. Right now I am going to meet my student. " Sid said with a bright smile and left from the office. 

            He sent a text message to Siya " Hi honey. Ready for your lesson. " 

            Siya was in the office working when she got the message she texted him back " Yes. But right now I in the office. So see you after office."

Sid was disappointed that now he will have to wait for an hour.

            " Okay. I will wait outside your office." Sid replied. 

After an hour, after the office when all left. Siya went to washroom to freshen up because Sid was waiting for her outside office. 

          Vikram was coming to meet Siya. When Vikram saw her going to the washroom, he was waiting for her outside the washroom. 

As soon as Siya came out of the washroom, Vikram stood in front of Siya. Siya got startled and she screamed " Oh God. You sacred me to death. " Siya said hitting him. 

          " Let's go. Let's have a dinner together with me. " Vikram asked Siya. 

          " Sorry. But today I will be going to meet my friend. Let's go some other day." Siya said apologetically.
