Rajesh had just passed out of his college and he was
moving to the metro city in search of a job. He was invited to the metro city
by one of his friends from college, who was also his senior during college
days. He advised Rajesh to come and visit the metro city and search for a job
as there are many big tech companies in that city. He also told Rajesh that he
can stay in his room till the time he finds it comfortable to live in that
city. He promised Rajesh to help him for securing a good job and to settle in
that new city. Rajesh was in his early twenties with an average look with brown
eyes and a slim body. By looking at him you can say he hadn’t combed his hair
for many days. He was a timid person who doesn’t talk to anyone except when he
needed anything. He was good in studies but was not able to secure college
placement as he got ill at that time. He belonged to a lower-middle-class
family. Rajesh’s father was a clerk in the government office and his mother was
a housewife. He had one brother and one sister, both were younger than
him and were studying in school. He was now moving to
the big city in search of a secure career.
When Rajesh reached the metro city. He was welcomed by
his friend in the Railway-station. They both traveled to the room on a bike.
When they reached the room, Rajesh’s friend showed him where he can sleep and
all the important rooms of that house. He also helped Rajesh to settle in that
room within a few days. Rajesh was now all settled and started searching for
job opportunities online.
Rajesh found many job opportunities but was not able
to secure an offer letter from any company. Sometimes he was not able to clear
the qualifying exams and sometimes he was not able to crack the interview. This
carried on for two months. He was continuously improving his skills and was
preparing for it.
Finally, he was
able to secure a job in a big MNC. It was his first day in the office. After
all the necessary formalities, he was taken to the training room. The training
room was small and compact, it had two columns and five rows with computers on
each table. It was packed except for the last row. Rajesh made himself comfortable
in that row. After some time another person entered the training room and sat
next to Rajesh. During the training, Rajesh was not able to find some things on
his computer. He asked the person sitting next to him for some help. The person
guided Rajesh and they both continued with their training.
At the end of the meeting, Rajesh thanked the person
sitting next to him and introduced himself. The person sitting next to Rajesh
also introduced himself. His name was Monty. They both talked a little and then
went on their way. Monty was a well-built person. By looking at him you can say
he is going to the gym daily. For a few
weeks, Rajesh and Monty casually talked to each other and spent most of the
office time together. They were now close friends.
One day Monty asked Rajesh that if he knew any good
property for rent in that city. The property in which he lives is very small
and he is thinking to relocate. Rajesh told Monty that if he gets any
information regarding any property for rent, he will let him know. That day
when Rajesh reached his home, his friend and room partner told Rajesh that he
has got a better job in another city and he will be leaving that room in one
month.
Rajesh was shocked a bit but was also happy for his
friend. He congratulated his friend and asked for a treat as well. They both
talked for some time and then went to sleep. Rajesh however was scared to live
alone in that big city. A week later when Monty met Rajesh, he told him that he
had found a suitable property and will be shifting very soon. Rajesh told him
about his friend and asked Monty that if he can stay with him in his flat.
Monty agreed as the flat was big and had two bedrooms.
Rajesh was happy but he first informed Monty that he has a habit of smoking
cigarettes. To this Monty replied that he can stay with him but whenever he
wants to smoke, he must go outside the flat or go to the balcony. Monty also
told Rajesh that he has lived with one of his friends in a flat in the past who
used to smoke during college days. He has no problem living with him as well.
Within a month Rajesh and Monty had shifted to their
new flat. Monty had a very kind and helpful nature. He used to help the people
in society with small things. Even he used to buy groceries and other
necessities for Rajesh as well when Rajesh was busy. He used to pay rent on
time and did most of the daily house chores.
One day Rajesh saw that there is a sale on the
cigarette packets when he visited a shop. The cigarette packets will be given
at discounted price if anyone buys a whole lot. Rajesh thought that he can save
a lot of money if he buys the whole cigarette packets for the next six months
today. When he reached home, he told Monty to keep these cigarette packets with
himself and give them one by one whenever he asks for them. Rajesh knew if he
keeps these cigarette packets with himself, he will end up smoking all the
cigarettes within one week. So, to control himself Rajesh gave them to Monty.
Monty agreed and said that he should try to smoke a little less as it is
dangerous for his health.
One day Monty got an emergency call from his hometown
in the morning, and he left the flat by informing Rajesh that he might return
in a week. Rajesh didn’t ask Monty about the emergency as Monty was in a big
hurry. That night Rajesh was feeling the desire to smoke but only Monty knew
where he had hidden Rajesh’s secret. Rajesh didn’t want to make a call as it
might disturb Monty. He decides to go inside Monty’s room and search for the
cigarettes all by himself. When he was searching Monty’s room for cigarettes,
he found a hidden closet in the Almira. When he opened the closet, he was
shocked to see what was inside. It was a GUN!!
The whole night Rajesh was not able to sleep. He was
having several thoughts about Monty. He was thinking that Monty could be a
terrorist or a criminal of any sort and he might harm him any day. Rajesh
planned to leave the house first thing in the morning. When he opened the front
door in the morning to leave. He was shocked to see Monty outside as he didn’t
expect Monty to return so early. When Monty entered the flat, he saw the packed
luggage of Rajesh. He asked Rajesh that if he is leaving for any emergency as
well.
Rajesh could not control his emotions and thoughts.
The gun from last night was roaming around his mind. He was angry and afraid at
the same time, as he looked up to Monty and wanted to become like him. Rajesh
told everything to Monty about last night in an angry and loud voice and he
also told him that he didn’t want to live with any sort of criminal.
Monty was shaken for a bit, but he told Rajesh that I
think it’s time for him to know the whole truth. He told Rajesh that he is an
undercover agent of the government of India. He was assigned on a mission to
catch a person who was giving jobs to undesirable candidates in the company by
taking a huge amount of money as a bribe. Yesterday morning they have caught
that person and it is time for him to leave that company as well the city. He
also told Rajesh that he is telling all this to him as he has found a great
friend in him and he believes in Rajesh that he will keep all this a secret.
Rajesh was shocked after hearing the complete story. He had no words in his
mouth. He was standing still in a place with his mouth open.
