I am not a gentleman, Harshavardhan C [book reader for pc txt] 📗

to perform all his memorable days and remembrances, right from his birth day, the day he got Honorary doctorate in business management from the university, where he did his MBA; and the day he won the best entrepreneur of the year in India; and the day the business world recognised him as he is one among the ten billionaires in the world; and apart from that finally by performing his death anniversary every year.

The Business Empire, which was started by Mr. Gentleman, had been flourishing. Since then it had been constantly maintaining one of the 10th positions in the world.

It was due to the strict implementation of the morals, ethics and firm ideals introduced by Mr. Gentleman in true spirit through his trust worthy son Mr. Ram, and his PS and CEO Mrs. Jasmine.

Mr. Rahul, the son in law, and Mr. Laxman, the youngest son of Mr. Gentleman had been running from court after court, engaging stalwart lawyers by paying them heavily. They even forgot to concentrate on their other businesses, with found hope that they would win the civil cases against both Mr. Ram and Dr. Jasmine.

They not only saw reverses in every court but also got heavy losses in their business for non concentration, due to lack of professional skills and lack of professional ethics and morals. At one stage they surrendered their shares in the GM. Group of companies for liquidating money; and spent whatever was available with them and finally they became bankrupts.

Dr. Jasmine had been sending them money for their monthly maintenance in the guise of profits and interest from their shares; though their shares were already sold, but she used to take care of them, since they happened to the family members of late Mr. Gentleman.

Unable to lead middle class life, Mrs. Ritu gave divorce to Mr. Ram at the age of fifty plus and went to her parents along with her children. And Mr. Ram was getting rid of his problem with his second wife Mrs. Ritu; and the first wife of Mr. Ram, Mrs. Janaki was happy that she got back her legal position as Mrs. Ram in the society and she had been actively associated herself with all the activities of Mr. Ram both private and at office.

Mrs. Sobha came to know the original character of Mr. Rahul and she gave divorce to him. Now Mr. Rahul became a free bird being deserted by his wife and his children and ran after his new concubine.

Mr. Laxman was penalised for his great blunders; and his wife Mrs. Priya gave divorce to him by proving him impotent in the court and left home along with her children and deserted him.

Now the unfortunate woman Mrs. Bharathidevi was alone staying in the bungalow of Mr. Gentleman, which was also already transferred in the name of Dr. Jasmine during the life time of Mr. Gentleman.

But Mrs. Jasmine never let her status go down. As Mrs. Bharathidevi was a sensitive woman she never disclosed the fact that the bungalow was transferred on her name, and that she had been sending amounts for her expenses in guise of interests and profits on her shares.

“Dad I am ready, but today also mum is late” Dr. Honey rushed to the car, while Dr. Raj was in the driving seat. She opened the front door and occupied the bucket seat.

“I am always first and chose the best” Miss. Honey said proudly.

“Jasmine you have lost the front seat as you are late today also” Dr. Raj heckled her.

“Please wait a minute Raj and I am coming” Dr. Jasmine closed the book and later she also joined them.

Dr. Raj drove the car straight to the hospital titled ‘May I help you’. It is not a corporate hospital, but a Janata (People’s) Hospital, a dream cum reality of Dr. Jasmine.

All the three were serving the poor, helpless and the needy in the unique hospital of non- profiting in the city during 21st century.

“Good morning uncle” Dr. He-man, classmate of Dr. Honey, greeted him at the entrance of the hospital.

Dr. Raj neither reciprocated nor responded nor at least looked at him.

Dr. He-man took it casual as it was an everyday’s affair, and whenever Dr. Raj came across, he used to greet him but never it was received by him; and every time Dr. He-man used to experience the same. Hence he never felt regrets.

And as usual Dr. He-man was looking after out- patients of the day.

“Good morning Great-man” Dr. Honey greeted him and later she also joined him.

“I am not a great man, I am just what I am” He said politely.

“But your name itself means the great; and so also by both appearance; and through your acts you deserve to be really great” She had all praise for him.

She used to treat him something special; and she used to admire him as her dream boy, besides they both were classmates; and it was also a fact that everybody admired Dr. He-man and hence she used to call him by a unique name as ‘Great man’

They both finished their duty for the day as there were no out patients. In the meanwhile the attender brought snacks and coffee for them and kept in the anti- room. They both removed Aprons and were taking rest.

Dr. Raj observed them behaving as close as lovers and he immediately sent a word to Dr. Jasmine to come to his room at once.

Accordingly she went to his room. “Mrs. Jasmine, it is my final warning to you. Now at least, you better realise your responsibility towards your daughter”

“Why are you suspecting me Mr. Raj? And in fact I am taking care of everything of my daughter”

“Are you pretending or really innocent Mrs. Jasmine? Is it not a fact that your daughter fall in love with Dr. He-man? And is it not a fact that almost all the staff in the hospital knows it? But, still you are sleeping or just trying to keep me in dark” He found fault with her brought up.

“I am sorry I really don’t know these things, but one thing I can say very confidently that before appointing Dr. He-man I have enquired his antecedents thoroughly and there is nothing adverse against him Mr. Raj”

“Will you please shut your mouth Mrs. Jasmine? I hate even to hear the name of Dr. He-man; but your daughter is running after that idiot like a mad dog.

I say please dismiss him at once; or otherwise I will have to come heavily on him. Please don’t force me to become a criminal Jasmine. Anyway I am giving you the time frame and tomorrow shall be the final day for him. Now it is for you to decide which one is the best option whether to dismiss him simply; or expect me to become a criminal? Please decide by tomorrow in the first hour, before we assemble in the hospital, and I except that Dr. He-man’s seat should be vacant” Dr. Raj said seriously. Dr. Jasmine went to the consulting room of Dr. He- man rashly.

 

Chapter: 32

While reaching the consultation room of Dr. He-man, Dr. Jasmine could find through the window her daughter Honey hugged Dr. He-man close to her; and she could also hear their voice.

“Honey it is too much; and please don’t forget that it is hospital” Mr. He-man was cautioning her, but in vain.

“But our age never stops growing Mister. You know my age; and I am thirty plus and for your information I attained puberty when I was thirteen years; and since seventeen years I have been starving for” She was feeling shy to complete.

“Starving for what?” Mr. He-man repeated.

“You tube light (stupid), Can’t you assess that much? And haven’t you experienced shredded dreams all these years; and still you want to spend your youth in dreams; and when will you think of enjoying yourself?” Miss. Honey couldn’t hide her emotions anymore and exposed herself frankly.

“But, it is not fair on our part to have physical relation before marriage dear as we are in India, governed by certain customs and traditions. I think your parents are already suspecting us. They might have understood that we are in deep love as we are moving as freely as lovers; and I am a bloody fool to follow your advice and joined in this hospital recommended by you only to deceive them” He expressed his guilt.

“Why do you feel sorry for none of your faults; do you think to love is crime or censor for youth; and it is our life man; we are not minors and then why should we care anybody’s intolerance after all are we not have liberty to enjoy if not in dating as lovers, but certainly like wife and husband, as we are going to marry soon” She said confidently.

“Please leave me Honey; and don’t forget that we are Indians and we are in India; and if your parents see us like this, they may form a very cheap opinion on me and straight they will dismiss me. It is better to keep distance some between us Honey” He pushed her away.

But Honey took it as serious as losing her freedom to choose her better half wantonly kissed him. It was about the same time Dr. Jasmine came to the anti- room, adjoining the consultation room of Dr. He-man all of a sudden, and witnessed the scene.

Now she understood why Mr. Raj shouted at her. She immediately slapped Honey.

Dr. He- man became stale.

She immediately dragged Honey out of his room.

Honey felt insult for physical assault on her. It annoyed her as what Mr. He-man predicted has happened. She was not a minor to be manhandled. She was belittled in the presence of his fiancé, with the unusual behaviour of her mum in presence of his colleague Mr. He-man.

Now Dr. Jasmine was thinking seriously about the career of her daughter.

“Why are you misbehaving with Dr. He-man in the anti- room? Are you not ashamed to do romance in hospital? Why have you succumb to human weaknesses even before marriage Honey? Are you mad after sex? I never knew this type of culture during my youth. What a wonderful culture! Shame on your part Honey?” Dr. Jasmine lost her temper and shouted her.

Dr. Honey was trying to tell her about their seven years of love affair.

“Shut up you third rated girl, do you think it is enough now? You are not an adolescent. When you are exposed only you are coming up with the truth. It is quite disgrace to hear your childish behaviour.

I blindly believed you as an innocent girl till your dad noticed it; and still I couldn’t assess you.

In fact till now I had all faith in my brought up. But you have betrayed me; and it is quite unfortunate to say that your my daughter; and perhaps I have to bear it only to be blamed by your father” She lost her temper and fired at her.

“Madam kindly excuse her; it is not her mistake and in fact I should only be blamed for not revealing our affair to you” Mr. He- man tried his best to bring harmony between the mother and the daughter.

“Sorry, it is none of your business Mister. Anyway, I am not finding fault with you. It is purely a mistake on my part, believing this girl blindly and appointed a playboy in my hospital; and now you are dismissed; and take your salary whatever is due; and please don’t step into my hospital henceforth; and don’t try to spoil the pleasant atmosphere of my hospital” She warned him and left for her consultation room.

 

Chapter: 33

Mrs. Jasmine came to her room; and opened the novel scribed by Miss. Hasina and was reading it seriously.

“In this universe there are always two things common in all species; and also in both animate and in inanimate objects, which are in existence; and some are visible and some are invisible. They may be listed broadly as North Pole and South pole; Earth
