In the evening Charlie returned to his duty after his long visit to country C.He reported to John directly in his office.
"Boss, the incident of collapsing the building was intentional.Very inferior quality materials were used. The main engineer was bribed by some unknown person.He transferred a heavy amount to that engineer"s account.We traced the phone number and bank account. But it showed an address of a trust in our country. Someone used the trust to transfer money.When our team interrogated the persons related to the trust, one of the member admitted that money transaction was done by him."He added, "That man said that, he got the order from an old man, who once visited their trust. He too got money for this task.Although we couldn"t got any other information from the man, but our artist drew a sketch of that old man as per his description.Here it is." Charlie handed him a sketch.John looked at the sketch.
"I never met this man. May be grandma knows him."
"Ok.You can go now."
He kept the sketch in his suitcase and left for home.Today he decided to go home early as he wanted to give some more time to his family.
Zinu reached home before John and after having a cup of tea, she had a walk in the garden. She was making plan about how to ask John about his love life.Ronnie was playing in the garden with his Woofy. As he saw Zinu, he came running and hugged her.
"Oh my cutie pie!! How is your practice going on?"
"Mom, My instructor has helped me to select some songs for audition.I am practicing them.Second granny is also helping me to practice.Mom, will you and dad go with me to the audition day after tomorrow?"
"I"ll try dear. But I don"t think your dad would go with you.He may be busy to go with you." Zinu replied.
"But, I want to go there with both of you." Ronnie pouted.
"I too want to go with you my prince. I would not miss my son"s first audition. Don"t worry."
Zinu startled to hear John"s voice suddenly behind her.She did not expect him to come here at this time.
"Dad! You have come! " Ronnie hugged his father excitedly. John smiled and pinched his nose.He picked up Ronnie and entered the house.Zinu followed them. After dinner they all went to sleep.
"Zinu you go first. I am coming in half hour." John said. Zinu nodded and entered her bedroom.
"Ronnie, let"s go to your bed."John picked up Ronnie and helped him to sleep in his Room.
After Ronnie slept, John came out and entered his study room and called Charlie.
"Get ready my island for our honeymoon.We would visit there on next Monday, after Ronnie"s audition."
"Ok.Boss."
John ended the phone call and happily entered the bedroom.He wanted to go to honeymoon immediately after their marriage,but he could not left his work for longer time, as they just returned from country F. So, now he decided to visit his private island with Zinu as their pending honeymoon.He wanted to surprise Zinu.
As he entered the bedroom, he scared to see Zinu"s reaction. She was staring at her mobile with a dangerous look.John could felt the dangerous aura from the door itself. He quietly entered the room and sat near Zinu. He coughed twice to get Zinu"s attention. But failed. He lightly touched her shoulder and said,
"Wifey! What happened? Why are you staring at your mobile like this? I have a lot to tell you today. So, please talk to me."
Zinu looked at John with pain in her eyes.John"s heart clutched to see her eyes.
"Why is she so sad?"He thought.
Zinu shook her mobile in front of John.
"Do you want to speak about this? Why John? Why did you cheat on me? If you love other woman, you should not have marry me. Why did you hide all this from me?I would never come to your life if you tell me beforehand.Ronnie thinks you as his father. Have you once thought about me or him before doing all this?You... you made our lives worse ."
"What are you speaking? I have done nothing.Please believe me."
"Believe you!! How can I believe you after seeing this? "
John s.n.a.t.c.hed the mobile from her and his eyes widen to see the photographs posted on social media page of Jennifer.There are lots of photographs posted , which were secretly clicked by Jennifer herself. In most of the photos they looked very intimate.In one photo it was looked like both were kissing. Actually Jennifer clicked the photos using such angles that, it looked like they were real couple.John felt the sky fell on him. Now, what will he do? How could he prove himself innocent to Zinu? He felt his head was spinning.He Immediately called Charlie and ordered him to handle the matter.
Half an hour back
Zinu entered the bedroom, she opened her social media page. She was a member of employee group of Smith Enterprise. On that group these photos were posted. As a group member she got the photos.In the same time Charlie too got the photos and he already started his action.
Scandal"s are common for a man like John.As a rich man, he had to face so many scandalous situation. He easily could come out from any scandal.But, this time he scared to the core."What if Zinu doesn"t believe me and left me? How could I live without them? "
He nervously rubbed his forehead.
