Chapter 532 - Good News

Abhi went back to the office conference room and continued with the meeting. The first thing he said "Ladies and Gentlemen, I have an opinion. Maybe we should take some more time to decide on the name of the trust."

An old man asked "Do you have any name on your mind Abhi ?" and the latter shook his head saying "No, Mr. Mishra. I haven't decided yet. But we can take some time." He then added after a moment "I do have a name in mind but let's not hurry. First let's talk and discuss all the details and finish all the necessities."

Flashback

When Elder Grandpa came to India, Inside Abhi's study.

Both grandson and grandpa discussed while Mr. Malhotra joined the discussion on a video call.

The project is a dream project of Elder Malhotra. He always wanted to establish a charity house and construct a school for poor children in his village.

Mr. Malhotra also had the same thought and he even wanted to establish an orphanage and schools in other neighboring villages too. They couldn't do it because they had no time for such things and they never really visited India for many days.

After Abhi took over the responsiblity he gave his entire time training his brothers and in moulding his career. But he never forgot his father and grandfather's dream.

Later when he saw Shriya and her hard life he understood the threat for women in the society. He always wanted to do something for them.

He combined all these and came up with a strategy and wanted put them under one roof. He also understood if the management is not proper and ignored by them by entrusting it to NGO'S or volunteers, they might face problems even legal issues.

He has seen many such things where these trusts are seen as a place where money can be embezzled and as a way to exempt tax kind of things and also as a way to do some illegal things.

So he met with an strategy department and planned everything and came up with a perfect idea. The board members are all his family members, Elder Malhotra his both sons and daughters-in-law, Abhi, Yash, Rahul and Rajesh and they own more than seventy percent shares.

He also asked Matthew to join the board members and a very few trusted friends of the old man who own a minimum shares. Elder Malhotra is the one who will be in charge of everything. Abhi already acquired a large piece of land on the city outskirts of Mumbai and another land in his village.

The architectural designs are ready for the buildings and the construction is half done. After a six months, all the board members gathered except for Mrs. Malhotra. They are all busy people and it's very hard for them to adjust time.

Abhi always wanted to name the trust as "Surangi" after his grandmother's name. He also knew how much his grandfather loved his wife and missed her but the old man said "No need. I don't want her to feel any burden. Moreover I am not doing this for her. May be a good name which shows our culture and it should give some hope for us to keep running it and to develop it, we should get inspiration for it." ( End of foashback )

It was almost afternoon, the meeting almost came to an end and Abhi was ready to leave. Just then he received a call from Shriya and he answered immediately.

She said with happiness "It's a baby boy. Both Gouthami and the baby are healthy. Rahul just came out of the room and guess what !!!!! it's a normal delivery."

She didn't let him to day a single word, she is all happy and excited, she then said "Okay, Mom and others are going to see them. I have to go."

A big smile appeared on his face and he said "Calm down baby. Take a deep breathe." She said with a snort "You shut up" and he could imagine her annoyed pout. She then said "Okay, come here. You should see your nephew". He said "For now his aunt can take care of him. We will be there in an hour".

Everyone present in the room could see Abhi's attitude. They saw his indifferent, cold and sometimes even warm face, but not this sweet face. Yash could hear his brother but not others. They wondered who is making Abhi smile like this. He then added "Take Mom and others for lunch. They must be tired and hungry" and she hummed and hung up the call.

Abhi informed all the members "I have a good news guys. Rahul and Gouthami are blessed with a baby boy" and everyone congratulated the Malhotras on the arrival of new family member.

Abhi concluded the meeting "Okay gentlemen, apart from the name of the charity, everything is done. Let's call it a day". He then looked at Yash "Come, let's go meet our nephew".
