The Stranger(Part-11)...

---------------------------------------------

Meera and her team were waiting for the client to come and have a look at their presentation. After sometime Ajit entered the conference hall along with Ashok and his team of two persons. Meera, Bikash and Asit welcomed all of them and greeted too. After all took their seat Ajit introduced Ashok and his team to Meera. Then Meera gave her brief introduction and introduced her assistants. Then Meera stood up to start her presentation. Before doing so Meera explained the uses of this software at various levels with various devices. She explained it's uses in mobile phone, in laptop, in desktop, in CCTV, in hidden cameras, in wireless system of any vehicle. Even she explained through this software how the smallest hidden camera can be accessed for recording. As she was proceeding to start it's operational part through presentation, Ashok said, "It's realy an useful software developed by you and unique one. You had added some features to it in addition to our requirements. That's realy appreciable. Thanks and please proceed."

Then Meera started her presentation and explained everything to all very confidently. It took around one hour to finish her presentation. Then Meera waited for any question from Ashok and his team. Ashok looked at his two IT professionals came with him. They expressed their positive views. Then Ashok aaked Ajit to have a meeting with him and Meera only for few minutes. As soon as Ashok said that all had left the hall except Meera and Ajit. Ashok said," Now as in this software there are some more features been added and all are verymuch useful for our nation, we will give you another official letter to add these features and give your revised tender. Then you give your revised tender. Secondly, we will have the exclusive right only on this software through an agreement with your company and for this let your company ask for a suitable compensation. Third one is for time to time we may need Meera to train, to help and to further develop this software, for this let your company charge us separately for time to time. By tomorrow I will make these letters to your company and Ajit you have to expedite all the required compliance from your HO aa soon as possible. I think all are clear to you all. "

Ajit heard it and asked Ashok to give him ten minutes times to have some important discussion with his boss, by that time Meera can clarify her points, if she has any. Then Ajit left the hall. Now Ashok and Meera are alone in the hall. Meera thought it's the right time to clear her doubts with Ashok. She was thinking and Ashok broke the silence. He said " I hope everthing is ok with you and your family Meera. I had increased your security. I know your idea of adding these new features to this software. This can be even used by you,your family and all the concerned persons of our organization. Great job done by you. "

Meera replied, "I and my family are ok. Thanks for your support. But, actualy I had some doubts to get it clarified from you. First is regarding my assistants Bikash and Asit. Are they been deputed by you? Because the strangers outside my house just exchanged smile with these two yesterday. I saw that, but they don't know this. Second, please let me know about Ashis, cousin of my friend Sangeeta, who was kidnapped. Third, can I have any chance to atleast see my father once?" Then she stopped and waited for the reply of Ashok. Ashok gave a smile and said, " You are extraordinarily intelligent Meera. You are working like a super cop. Persons with your caliber should be in our department. That's the reason I told Ajit to take your help for time to time. Regarding Bikash and Asit, yes they are from our department. They were here to protect you and collect some other informations. But, you keep this secret with you only, I think you will do so. Regarding your second question on Ashis, our team had rescued him and he is under interrogation. Please don't inform this to Sangeeta. We got some link of Sangeeta with R K(Rajendra Kumar). Our people are working on that to find the exact facts. So, till I inform you,do maintain a distance from her. I hope you will help us in this regard. Lastly regarding meeting your father, see Meera, he is our senior most officer on a special duty . I will try to give your message to him and if everthing will be fine for department, then will let you know. I can't give any assurance on this to you. But, remember one thing that he is keeping every information regarding you all in a day to day basis. You know, he is doing the duity of a father, a husband and of the most trusted investigative officer of CBI dealing with most high profile cases, all these he is performing together. We all are very proud of your father. I hope that all your doubts and questions are clear now. Anytime if you face any problem, just give me a call or message. " Meera listened to Ashok and said yes to him. At that time Ajit entered the hall. Then Ajit asked Ashok, "Can I call all inside to join us with tea?" Ashok said yes to him. Then Ajit called all four Bikash, Asit and two IT professionals of CBI. They had tea and some lighter discussions, then Ashok and his team left the office.

After Ashok left the office Ajit called Meera to his cabin. Then Ajit told her, "You had made our organization proud Meera. I discussed with our Vice President regarding this presentation, after receiving the letter from CBI as told by Ashok, I think you will be promoted with some additional responsibilities. Great job done by you. Keep it up. I think now it's time you can catch office bus and go home. Today just relax and enjoy."

Meera left Ajit's cabin. She locked her drawer and took her bag to go downstairs to catch the bus. She reached and got on the bus. While sitting in bus Meera started thinking about her and her family's life, which is now surrounded by the strangers to give protection. She was thinking about her father as explained by Ashok and feeling proud to be his daughter. These thoughts brought a light smile on her face and she closed her eyes for a moment.
