The sun was about to set and there was constant noise outside slogans were being raised in support of Yela Rajanswami the presidential election candidate of Sri Lankan Democratic Front (SLDF),
Swami Rajan and Varun Sharma were sitting in a study waiting for Rajanswami.
Varun who was not used to this unusual heat was not feeling comfortable and standing near the window looking outside ''do you think that he will agree?'' he asked Rajan who was sipping tea while sitting on a chair "I last met him in 2014, its been a long time now and I can't say much"
exactly at that point, Adesh entered the room, Adesh was Yela's secretary and Rajan's old acquainted ''He is coming to Rajan but remember to keep it short", Adesh rushed outside again after saying these words Varun came and sat next to Rajan who had finished his tea by that time.
both of them stood up as soon as Rajanswami entered the room he shook hands with Rajan and ignoring Varun sat down. Varun decided to hide his displeasure on Rajanswami's act.
'' Adesh told me that our names are quite similar Rajan '' Rajanswami laughed as he said this. Rajan decides to join him while Varun just gave a grim smile
Rajan decided to speak first ''Our government has decided to contribute to your party fund. we really want SLDF to win elections''
Rajanswami replied '' You could have told that to Adesh why waste my time. I know that your government will support me. it was decided in the meeting last month. you surely want something else too right?''
''we surely won't make any unrealistic demand 'Rajan replied,' we just want you to decide not to form an alliance with the republican front. yu know that they are against the involvement of foreign powers in Sri lanks. still, you announced an alliance last week.''
"You don't know any politics. I suggest RAW to hire some ex diplomats", Rajanswami laughed again this time not being joined even by Rajan,'' they have a stronghold in the south and winning election without them can be a little difficult"
''but without us, , it would be impossible" Rajan told him and stood up "also we can convince nationalist republican front to join you''
Rajanswami smiled ''consider it done. and perhaps you and your friend can join for reception dinner tonight there are many important and prominent guests coming"
Rajan replied 'we sure would''
Rajanswami got up and left and Adesh joined the duo. "hey Rajan wants to join me for a cigarette ? '' he offered one to Rajan and another one to Varun who declined ''I' m trying to stay fit Adesh " Varun smiled
''I myself have tried to quit multiple times ut stressful jobs likeooursssrs won't allow us. the stress is too much. You know I went home last time almost tea month ago and that too for just an hour!
''you have lost a lot of weight since we last met" Rajan said
''yes almost 15 kg,'' Adesh replied ''you forgot to introduce me to our friend Rajan "
''oh! he is Varun he just joined last month. he topped during his stay at
the academy. a brilliant boy I must say ''
''Don't say that Rajan !" Varun said
''You don't need to follow protocols with him Varun. I share a long past with him and I have more confidence in him than my wife'' prajna and Adesh started laughing.
Varun didn't find the joke funny, though he was now 26 he was never in a relationship except once in collage. He is one of the youngest people on the field he left his MBBS in middle and have since worked in Kashmir and been to Kazakistan, USA, Russian and Isreal. this was his first time in Sri Lanka and little he knew that this day will change his life and leave the world hanging on a cliff.
All three of them talked for half an hour and joined the reception dinner at 9 pm
''the champaign is not that good. Varun we should meet nationalist front tomorrow and send our report to Gupta '' Rajan said had kept his glass on the table. it was almost full Rajan had taken just one sip.
''Varun I have a fear''
"what is it, Rajan?"
"its about rajanswami. I don't feel too comfortable about one thing"
"you can share it with
But I'm not too sure...ahh! this music is giving me a headache"
"just leave the music for a second Rajan. finish this conversation first"
"yes.so where was iI rajanswami...i checked his accounts and found something strange"
"what is it?"
''it was his son inlaws account multiple transfers from various other accounts
it must be black money. you know it common''
"yes but it was from a company in Beijing
you think china is backing Rajanwami up?"
"not quite sure. I have asked a background scan to be run on that comply
"So what's the matter ?"
"I will tell you later not here. I don't find this place safe"
"Ok"
Suddenly Varun's phone rang it was from an aassassistanttant secretary whottthethe the ew Delhi OP Sharma. Varun left the dinner venue which was in Rajanswami's bungalow's lawn and went out on the main road
"Varun we have arranged you a flight to Jaipur at 11 pm you have to come now. leave the Sri Lankan matter to Rajan for now. you are much needed here'' OP Sharma explained
"Yes I'll leave for the airport at once'' Varun replied
