The Stranger(Part-21)....

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

Meera had a nice nap for one hour. She woke up at about 4.30pm, when her mother Sara woke her up. She saw the time and freshened up quickly as she has to go to Ashok's office at 5pm. Meera kept her laptop and pendrive in her bag. She kept the notebook where the points were been noted by her for the software. Then Sara came with the coffee to her room and asked curiously, "what happened dear? Are you going anywhere? At this time how can you go alone? You never informed me earlier!" Meera looked at her mother and could understand her problem. Then she replied, "I will go along with my two assistants Bikash and Asit. They will come to pick me up. Don't be worried Mom." Then sara left her room with a pale face. Meera saw that and felt very bad. Then she took the phone and made a call to Ashok. She asked, " I am sorry to disturb you, but there is a request I wanted to make to you. My Mom is very scared of my going alone at this time. Can you allow my Mom and sister to come along with me. You can let them be sitted in a separate room. It's just a request. "

Then Ashok replied, " You had made the call before I could ask you to bring them here. We discussed and for security reasons decided to let them come along with you. You inform them and get ready. " Meera thanked Ashok and discontinued the line. Then she went to Sara and Rima. She told both of them to get ready quickly to acompany her. Sara got surprised and happy too to be with her daughter. Rima was too very happy to go out after many days. They quickly changed their dress and got ready. As soon as they finished the doorbell rang. Meera saw from inside that both Bikash and Asit were standing outside. She opened the door and asked them to come inside. After that Meera quickly went to her room and picked her working bag. Then she asked Sara and Rima to join her. After five minutes they left the house and locked it from outside.

All of them get into the car. Meera saw the number of security persons were increased outside her house as told by Ashok. She was relaxed. Sara asked Meera, " Why so many beggers are assembled outside our house? Are they found it a safe place? I noticed these people since long time here. It's very strange to see somany strangers around here. I don't feel safe and sometimes I feel they may do any harm to us. We have to be careful. Have you locked the door properly? "Meera gave a smile and said," Come on Mom. Why are you thinking so? Why can't you think the positive side of it? Due to these people we all are been nicely protected. Did you remember, when I was hurt near our bus stop, one of them only helped me and protected me till I reach home? We should be oblised to them. " Then Sara realised and remembered that day. She said, "Oh, yes I remembered. I am sorry. I shouldn't have said that for them. You are right dear." As their conversation was going on their vehicle reached the CBI office compound and stopped at parking place. All of them got out of the car. Sara could see the place and smelled something. She asked Meera, " Is it your office? It seems like the office of your Dad. Somany security persons and such a huge building with the signboard of CBI! I am now confused. "

Meera replied, "Mom, I am working with a project of this office and have come today to give my final presentation. This was all kept with high secrecy as their department wanted. Nothing to be worried." As soon as Meera finished a group of security personnel came and escorted three of them to the 1st floor of the building. As they reached Ashok came and greeted Sara, Rima and Meera. He took them to the guest room. All of them were asked to be relaxed. They were offered coffee. Then Ashok asked Meera to join him for the presentation. Two persons were left with Sara and Rima to take care of them. Meera went to along with Ashok.Both Sara and Rima wished Meera best of luck.

Meera along with Bikash and Asit took ten minutes to make the projecter got connected to her laptop. All the adjustments finished. Then Meera looked at Ashok fo his approval to start. Ashok spoke to someone through intercom and then aaked Meera to srart. He said Meera, " Me and my two assistants are here, but our all the top officials are here to go through this. The can see it. You proceed. " Then Meera started her presentation. She explained each steps in detail and asked for any question before going to next step. It took around one hour for Meera to finish the presentation. Then she took a glass of water. She switched off her laptop. Then Ashok asked Meera to have her sit and went outside.

After five minutes Ashok returned and said, "Meera, your presentation is been highly appriciated by our department. Now they will join me here to give you thanks personally. And there might be a very big surprise gift for you. So, relax and wait. "After around ten minutes three persons entered the room. Ashok introduced them as the Director, Joint Director and Operational Head. The person introduced as Operational Head was a big surprise for Meera. When Meera looked at him, she couldn't control herself rushed towards him like a child with a cry Dad..... Then tears of happiness started rolling down from Meera's eyes when she hugged him. She saw her dad after somany years. Her Dad Manas too hugged his daughter and very emotional. He told Meera while wiping her tears,"Don't cry my Angel. You are my strong baby. I missed you all, but our country's peace is always a priority. Now let us go and meet your mother and Rima. I wanted to see you all. Your successful presentation only gave this reward to us to meet dear. If you would have failed in making this software, may be we wouldn't have this moment. I am a proud father. Our Direcor sir too congratulated me for your work." Then both the Director and Joint Director came forward to congratulate Meera. Then they said Manas to go along with Meera to meet his family waiting in guest room.
