Million Dollar Stories

by Chanchal

He is risky too. One day he got the number in newspaper to put the mobile tower in his agricultural land in village and for that take the lacs of money. So, he called on that number and someone told him, “Ya send me your land paper or WhatsApp to me, for checking that land is appropriate or suitable to put tower or not”.

  He gave me papers to take photos of them, and I WhatsApp them to tower guy. Just after 2 hours, he called the alcoholic man, “ok, your land is suitable for mobile tower. So, there is a paper work to do. For that send, me 7800 Rupees and WhatsApp the PAN card and voter id or license. After that company will pay you 50 lacs”.

  Alcoholic man was happy and in cloud no. 7, was ready to go for depositing the money. Tower guy sent his account number on his mobile. My mother and me told him, he is making us fool. Because without checking the land and see him, how can give him 50 lacs?

  Umesh “what is cloud no. 7?”.

  Aryan “Bryan Adams brings the cloud no. 9, ok. I am bringing a new cloud, called cloud no. 7, means “when someone makes you fool, openly without any logic, you become the fool, and you laugh and laugh and laugh and feel happy like you become the Prime Minister of your country, but in the end, you are laughing on yourself”. It is a new one cloud, ok remember”.

  He did not understand and said “I risk in my life. That’s why I am here. I am getting the pension. What you both are losing?” “he pointed finger on us”, ok.

  “I will take risk and I will show you, how can one earn the money?”.

  So, he took the risk because he was risky. He went to the bank and deposited the money. And called him “sir, I have just deposited the money”.

  Tower guy said, “ok, let me do the paper work now. I will call you after two days”.

  Tower guy called him after two days and said “listen, all the documents are ready, and I will send you papers, sign on them and you will get your 50 lacs in your bank account”.

  Oho, again alcoholic man was in cloud no. 7. He was not putting his legs on the ground. His mustache was standing. Papers had come and he signed on them and sent them back. Around 16 to 17 days had gone in all that things.

  He called the tower guy, sir” when will you, deposit the money?”.

  He said “I have just talked with Mr. Praveen Mittal. He is the CEO of our company, partel. And he said that, your land is suitable for big tower”.

  Alcoholic man got the hunches that “he is gona get more money”.

  “so, just it needs extra money”.

  My dad asked “how much?”.

  He said “10200 Rupees only”.

  Alcoholic man said “sir, earlier you had said, work will happen in this only”.

  He said “but, land is good for big tower. It is not use for small one”.

  He took alcoholic man in a bottle in that line “it is not use for small one. That means you have to deposit, Otherwise, lose your money”.

  Then, alcoholic man asked for talking with the CEO of partel. And tower guy was ready. He gave the number of CEO of the company.

  Alcoholic man called on that number and CEO of partel received his phone. He was again on cloud no. 7. “I have just talked with the CEO of the company”. He said like, “he is the king of some place”, his voice was like that. He was showing to us, that deal was right. But my mom and me was not agree. So, he gave me the number to talk. I called him and he received my number too. I asked him “you are the CEO of the company and you have time to talk with me”.

  He said “ya, why not? For company, he does things like this. And this tower is important for our company”.

  I asked him, “where are you now?”.

  He said “in Chennai”.

  We are here in New Delhi. And he was in Chennai.

  I searched on net, the number was working in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, 1000 km away from Chennai and tower guy’s number was working in Gurugram.

  I told alcoholic man, “they are making us fool. They are here only. Just 200 Km away. CEOs cannot talk, they have the PA fort that work”.

  But bro, he did not understand a bit.

  He went to the bank and deposit the money. He told me, to take the pic of slip and WhatsApp it to him.

  Can you guys believe this buckloli?

  Azad “no”.

  Umesh ‘No bro. but it is interesting, don’t stop, tell”.

  Haah, interesting. So, I did it. Alcoholic man called him special, because he said “money has not come yet” so he called him “sir, now see, I have deposited it”.

  Tower guy said “ok, now wait for two days”.

  After two days, he called tower guy again “sir, money has not come”.

  Tower guy said “first all tower material will reach to you. Then you will have signed the paper, after that we will deposit”.

  He asked “when it will reach?”.

  Tower guy said “in two days, they will reach to your place, three trucks are coming, one from Ahmedabad, second from Bengaluru and third from Kolkata”.

  He asked “where will they come, Bulandshahr or in my village?”.

  Tower guy said “in Bulandshahr”.

  He said “ok sir, ok”.

  But he called him again. He forgot one thing to ask “sir, it is a big tower, so how much money I will get for this?”

  Tower guy said “75 lacs rupees”.

  Oho again he was in cloud no. 7. He was happy. He was dreaming to buy the Fortuner car and not thinking about covering the home loan and pension, total 25 lacs.

  But nothing had come.

  He called tower guy again, this time he threw different type of bone “see, I forget to tell me about one thing”.

  He asked “what?”.

  Tower guy said “there is a form called T34 form in your registered office. You have to fill it and send me. And don’t worry about the trucks, they are coming, just delay because of traffic”.

  He said “ok sir, and what is the cost of the form?”.

  He again sent me to buy the form. I went to the registered office and asked to 10 to 15 employees. But everybody said “they don’t have any form like this and there is no form like this”.

  I came back and told him all this. He called tower guy again and tell all the story. Then tower guy said “you will not get this form there. we have this form. We can give you”.

  He asked to give him, but he did not ask him, why tower guy did not tell this before.

  Tower guy said “but we buy and bring this form from Lucknow. So, it has the cost”.

  He asked again “how much, sir”.

  Tower guy said “3500 Rupees only”.

  He said “sir, see I am honest person. I am retired from army. It is my hard-earned money. my son and wife both, don’t agree with me. They both said, I will not get anything. So, sir, kindly think about me. Please, do something. You cut this much amount from that money, which you will send me”.

  Tower guy said softly “see, I am employee here. Whatever my boss has said me I am just telling you that. You don’t want our form, it is not a problem. You can go to Lucknow yourself and buy, and send me after filling”.

  He said “sir, Lucknow is 1000 Km away from me. I will spend this much money on travelling only. Sir, listen I will deposit the money to you. Then I will get the money, isn’t”.

  Tower guy, confidently said “ya ya, last time, and deposit now, may be truck will reach to your home tomorrow evening only and then you will have your 75 lacs rupees”.

  Alcoholic man, again in a cloud no. 7 “ok sir, ok sir”.

  He again wanted me to go and deposit the money. I said “no, I will not go”.

  He went to the bank himself and deposit the money.

  Now, brothers next morning, the death day had come. Finally, brothers, finally, the day has come in Bu bu bu Bulandshahr. Like the rock way isn’t? Finally, isn’t?

  He called the tower guy in morning and got reply that “you will get your money till one O’clock”.

  Again, alcoholic man was in cloud no. 7. In
afternoon, he was having his half bottle. He had his glass on the fridge and pouring some water on it. I was watching him. He said “why you are staring like this?”.

  I said “just like that”. He said “you still think, money will not come?”.

  Now I said confidently “yes, it will not come”.

  Now, he said some words, which I will not forget till my death bed.

  He said............... he said.............. he said..............

  Umesh asked “what he said, big brother”.

  Can you people imagine?

  Azad “no, we cannot, you tell”.

  He said “still, you think, money will not come”.

  I said again “no, it will not come”. I said very softly “no, it will not come”.

  He said, the alcoholic man said “shit’s insect will always remain in shit only, in shit only”.

  Aryan “like it?”.

  Azad “really? Then what happen?”.

  Aryan “then, I said nothing to him.

  He said “I will not give any single pie to you people. For the last so many days, you both are trying to make me wrong, let’s see”.

  Aryan “then he called tower guy at 2 Pm. Tower guy said “he is taking his lunch now”.

  Alcoholic man said “see, he is eating now, then he will send the money. don’t stare like the shit. You will remain in shit only. Hurrr”.

  At 4 pm, he called him again, this time, tower guy said “oh, my boss is saying that, you have to deposit the 6000 Rupees more. it is urgent. Otherwise, they will put the tower somewhere else. But my boss likes your good behavior, that’s why he is favoring you”.

  Azad “now, say”.

  Prince “common, then what happened”.

  He said “sir, I am honest person. It is hard earned money, I am living on my pension. Don’t do this, sir, please.

  See, my son and wife, both were not agreed with me but I was believing you. I was fighting for you, sir, just for you”.

  Tower guy said, this time, it was the turn of tower guy, he said “see, this is the last time, you have to deposit just 6000 Rupees only”.

  Alcoholic man, said like he was begging “sir, please, sir don’t do this. I am honest person. It is my hard-earned money, sir”.

  “I cannot give. I get pension. I live on pension. I have to feed my family”.

  Tower guy “sorry, I cannot do anything”.

  Haaa, so, he is risky. Got it.

  Umesh “then what happened? Get the money?”.

  Aryan “money? he got the helicopter and Taj mahal”.

  “and he is going to buy the yacht”.

  “And, story did not end there, next day he got the new tower guy number in newspaper. He called him too. The new tower guy wanted just 4000 Rupees only. And alcoholic man was ready to give because he told him everything “sir, I gave the money to other person before. He made me fool. So, don’t do this to me like him. And this tower guy said “our company is genuine. We are not like them. there is one-time deposit money, and you will have yours’ 55 Lacs rupees”. So, he went to the bank again and deposited the money. but again, he fell down from the cloud no. seven. Oh no, second time. It hurts, second time it hurts”.

  Prince “then what uncle said?”.

  Aryan “same thing, “I am honest person. it is hard earned money and blah blah”. Hmm, he is honest person, that’s why, they made him fool. But he did not get it in first chance, he got in in second one”.

  “His tales don’t end here. One-day, it was 12:45 in the afternoon. It was his time to start taking his first peg. He saw that his bottles were finished. For that, he scolded my mom for not reminding him about this”. “but who drinks in my home?”.

  Azad “your dad”.

  Aryan “and who should remember about his bottles?”.

  Azad “your dad”.

  Aryan “right, but he said, she should know about all this. “I have my bottles or not””.

  “one day, before the dinner, he said to my mom “you are not goodwife, you never ask me to have the dinner or not. I only tell you to bring the dinner and keep on the table, hmm”.

  Next night, my mom brought the food and kept it on the table. So, he said “have I told you to bring the food?”. When mom said you only said yesterday to bring food by my own choice. But alcoholic man said “now, you are giving me reply, hmm, giving me reply. Have I told you to bring the food or not? Tell me this only. You want to have the dinner early so I will go to the room early and sleep early and then I will wake up early. Then what I will do if I will wake up at 3 or 4 O’clock in the morning, hmm. You don’t want me to have the good sleep, ya I am right. You want to have the bad sleep”.

  Aryan “oh no, bro. he wants us to be like god. We know, ourselves, what he is thinking in that particular moment”.

  One day he told me about his great childhood memory. He said “when I was in 12th standard in my village. 2 class mates came to me and tell me, “if you will beat Sandeep, then we will give you 2 Kg jalebi. So, I saw Sandeep in a mango garden and I took the bamboo and beat him for 15 minutes, after that, Sandeep could not stand up for one and half months from bed”.

  Aryan “he is like this, for 2 Kg jalebi, he beat a boy without any logic and reason like an animal”.

  Azad: ha ha ha. Tell more tales.

  Aryan: man, leave some tales for next journey.

  Let’s have the fun now, cheers.
