It was late afternoon. Shekhar was sitting in his office, reading a report when his son, Dev, walked in.
“Hi dad,” he said gleefully.
“Dev, shouldn’t you be in college?” Shekhar asked.
Dev pulled up a chair and sat next to him. “I finished early today, dad. Since your office was on the way, I thought I’ll come and see you,” he said.
“I thought you are helping your friend move today,” Shekhar said.
“Oh yeah. I forgot. But it’s okay, dad. He wouldn’t mind,” Vivek answered.
“So, you left him hanging. He must be waiting for you,” Shekhar said.
Their conversation was interrupted by a knock on the door. A sharply dressed man in his late 50s entered the office. “You wanted to see me, sir?” he politely asked.
“Yes, Mr Vivek. Please take a seat,” Shekhar said.
Shekhar introduced him to Dev and then asked Vivek to follow him. They went downstairs, where all members of the staff had gathered. The moment they saw Vivek, they started clapping.
“This is the least we could do for his service,” Shekhar replied. “He was the company’s oldest employee.
