277 Childhood Sweethear

"Ok. I am telling. But you have to be patient. Don't act recklessly after hearing it. Ok?"

"You need not tell the introduction of your speech. Just come to the point."Zinu said in a stern voice.

"Ok. Zinu sis I am telling. Yesterday I somehow managed to bring back the previous status of the company by convincing the shareholders, but suddenly a post appeared on the social media about John Bro." Charlie explained.

"What about John? What is it?"Zinu asked worriedly.

"It..... it was ....it was that s..... someone claimed to be engaged to John Bro. She claimed to be engaged with John Bro during his studies at the university. She .....she claimed her to be the childhood sweetheart of John Bro." Charlie somehow uttered the words to her.

Charlie knew that Zinu would be worried to hear all these. But he knew that if he does not inform her this beforehand, she will be very angry with him. She can see the posts in social media herself. 

"Who is that girl?"Zinu asked in a calm voice.

"She is the daughter of one of our shareholder. She was the only classmate of John Bro, who studied with John bro starting from the Nursery to the university. She followed him everywhere." Charlie said in low voice.

"What do you think? Is she engaged to John? Has John betrayed that girl?"Zinu asked in a dream-like voice.

"Zinu sis. As I know John Bro from many years, he never mentioned about the girl once. If he had some relations with that girl, but he would have told me but ........"

"What? Is there anything else?"

"Yes. I just removed the first post, hoping that it was the post of some trouble maker, but another post appeared within ten minutes. After that, whenever I tried to remove the post, a new post would have appeared. The later ones were more detailed." Charlie said in low voice.

"What was it? What details?"

"In the next posts, everything posted with proof."

"Proof? What proof?"

"She posted some photos of her with John Bro. Some of the photos were ..... were....."Charlie paused to find out a word.

"What? Tell me?"Zinu yelled impatiently.

"Zinu sis. Please calm down. Don't stress yourself. It will have a bad effect on the baby. Think about it. I did not want to tell you these, but you will be more shocked if you come to know these from other sources. That's why I am informing you. But you have to be courageous. You have to be strong to fight with all these."

"I am fine Charlie. Just tell me what those photos have?"

"They ....... they l........there are some intimate photos of them."

"What? How can this be possible? If he had no connection with that girl, then how those photos can exist? Have checked the photos properly? Were not those edited?"Zinu asked in a worried voice.

Zinu felt like her head spinning. She could not stand for more time. She sat down on a bench nearby. Charlie was still waiting for her response. He worried for her when he did not get any reply from her for a long time.

"Zinu sis. Zinu sis. Are you listening to me? Are you still there?" Charlie yelled from the other side of the phone.

"Yes, I ..... I am here. Now ....now what to do? Wh...what will I do if these things happened?I.....I...... I can not live without him.I.....I love him. I........"

Zinu could not complete her sentence as the tears blocked her sight and she felt like something blocked her throat. David was watching her form a distance. He did not want to disturb her, as she was speaking to someone in a serious tone. But when he saw her sat down suddenly and crying, he came running towards her.

"Lady boss. Lady boss. What happened to you? Why are you crying like this?"

David was worried to see her condition. He looked at the phone, on which someone was telling something. He took the phone from her and looked at the called id. He immediately replied.

"Charlie boss. What did you say to lady boss? Why is she crying like this?" David asked worriedly.

Charlie explained everything to him and requested him to look after her properly.

"Did you inform the boss all about these," David asked worriedly?

"No. I did not dare to. And now he is sick. It would make him worried. The situation is not good here. Everyone is raising their voice in the social media that John Bro should marry her immediately. Even the shareholder is also supporting the idea. Tomorrow there will be another board meeting. I don't know how to handle this situation here. Everyone in the family also came to know all these. I think Ronnie is also aware of all these, as he always keeps himself updated with social media. He is having a tantrum to be with his parents. I don't know what to do with all these! You please try to be with Lady Boss and The boss all the time." Charlie said with a worried voice.

"Ok. You don't worry. I will be with them at any time. You please take care there. I don't know why our Boss can not live peacefully ever."

David sighed and hang up the call. He looked at the woman who was sitting on the bench with a helpless look. He felt pity for her. Poor her! She never could live peacefully starting from her childhood.

"Lady boss, let us go inside. It is cold outside. You will be sick. Boss is waiting for you." David said.
