On Friday morning, Akhil was jolted awake .It was 9:15 am and he was late by 1 hour. It was going to be a tough day for him. On Saturday he was going to leave for Pune for 1 week to attend a conference. So, on that day only he had to finish all his works. Among a list of works depositing 50 lakh cheque in office bank account was at the top. Just after taking a shower for a formality he took his office bag , keys and mobile phone and left for office without breakfast at 9.45 am. He wanted to finish his bank work before going to office. After an hour of struggle with traffic , seeing the bank, his freedom from such a gigantic amount seemed to be near. He parked his car and rushed towards the counter. He put his hand in his pocket to take out the cheque, but MR. CHEQUE WAS MISSING..
Akhil's face turned grey, he was shaking and was frightened. The clerk at the counter asked for any help but Akhil ran towards the car without responding. He was behaving as a mad dog who scratched every part of the car for searching Mr. Cheque. Then he started his car and went towards his home. He searched every nook and corner of his home and also searched his neighbor's house with whom he was chilling last night . But instead of Mr. Cheque he got Mr Disappointment. his neighbor suggested him to search his cabin at office so he reached office at 12.00 pm and started searching. After knowing the fact, his good friend Upendra also searched with him. Akhil became very upset and sat down dolefully. Seeing his friend's condition Upendra ran his brain at 240 km/hrs and found a way, A MIRACULOUS WAY. Upendra told Akhil to come with him without asking any questions.
After a short ride, they reached their destination at 1.30 pm. It was a small apartment decorated with plastic flowers full of dust. Upendra dragged Akhil inside the apartment where there was a pile of dust on the floor and spider webs were more than the number of hairs on Upendra's head who had just returned from hair therapy. In the middle of a room one old man wearing a piece of red cloth having more dust than on the floor was sitting. Suddenly Upendra shouted "BABAJIKI JAI". Babaji opened his eyes and said,"the thing that you are looking is in a dark closed space, go ad search". Upendra took out 1500 rupees from Akhil's pocket and gave to the Baba. Before Akhil could understand what was going on Upendra dragged him out. Upendra said don't think of 1500 lets go and search a dark closed area.
At 2 they where at the office and searching store room. Upendra even searched the room which was used to keep waste files. But all in vain. But now Akhil's brain ran at 240 km/hrs and he shouted,"Oh God, yesterday I sent a parcel to my brother in England in a box, thats also a closed dark space". After that both were in the car moving towards post office. Akhil cancelled his post and got the parcel back by paying 970 rupees as penalty. He opened the box like a child opening his birthday gift and Bingo! he again found Mr. Disappointment .
Akhil left all his hopes and went back to office to say final good bye to all his colleagues because after loosing such a sky high amount any boss will say a permanent good bye to the person. He met all his colleagues and started collecting his stuffs. To put his belonging, he opened his office bag and suddenly heard a voice " Hey Mr. Idiot. Are you looking for me? Come give me a hug". It was the voice of the MOST AWAITED Mr. CHEQUE.
Akhil woke up jolted and found himself on his bed. He rushed towards his office bag and saw Mr. Cheque was sleeping peacefully.
