Update 93 B
Jibran Lal Khan ke saath hotel ke top floor par pohanchta hai.
Lift se nikal kar Lal Khan usay Shangri-La The Shard, London ke Level 50 par ek luxurious suite ke saamne le jata hai.
Door khulta hai.
Jibran andar qadam rakhta hai aur kuch seconds ke liye bilkul khamosh ho jata hai.
Suite ki bari glass windows se poora London nazar aa raha tha. Neeche London ki lights, roads aur buildings kisi miniature city ki tarah dikh rahe thay.
Jibran dheere dheere window ke paas jata hai.
Jibran: “Wow… Uncle, yahan se to poora London nazar aa raha hai.”
Lal Khan muskurata hai.
Lal Khan: “Pasand aaya?”
Jibran: “Uncle, ye sab… mere liye?”
Jibran suite ko dekhne lagta hai.
Ek side par luxurious bed tha aur uske qareeb private jacuzzi. Doosri taraf modern gym equipment laga hua tha. Ek chhota sa kitchen counter, fridge aur zaroori appliances bhi maujood thay.
Ek alag corner mein computer desk, multiple screens aur doosra electronic equipment rakha hua tha.
Jibran har cheez ko hairani se dekh raha tha.
Jibran: “Uncle, ye sab kya hai? Itna luxurious room…”
Lal Khan: “Beta, mera is hotel ke saath ek purana agreement hai.”
Jibran: “Agreement?”
Lal Khan: “Haan. Hotel ke owners aur meri kuch payments ka issue tha. Samjho is group mein meri kuch investments hain.”
Lal Khan sofa par beth jata hai.
Lal Khan: “Un investments ka profit har saal mere account mein aata hai. Is saal ka profit mere paas aa chuka hai. Lekin next year se jo profit hoga, woh tumhare naam transfer hoga.”
Jibran ab bhi confused tha.
Jibran: “Lekin uncle, itna sab…?”
Lal Khan: “Aur ek aur baat.”
Lal Khan muskurata hai.
Lal Khan: “Is hotel mein tumhein jo bhi basic hotel services agreement ke mutabiq milengi, unke liye tumhein personally payment nahi karni hogi.”
Jibran: “Matlab?”
Lal Khan: “Room service, dining, gym, swimming pool, salon aur massage services… jo facilities tumhare agreement mein covered hain, woh hotel account ke through manage hongi.”
Jibran ne sirf sar hilaya.
Jibran: “Uncle, mujhe to abhi bhi samajh nahi aa raha ke aapne mere liye itna sab kyun kiya.”
Itne mein suite ka door knock hua.
Lal Khan ne door khola.
Hotel ka manager andar aaya.
Manager: “Good evening, Mr. Lal Khan.”
Lal Khan: “Good evening. Come in.”
Lal Khan ne Jibran ki taraf ishara kiya.
Lal Khan: “Manager, meet Mr. Jibran. From immediate effect, I want the hotel services and the applicable arrangements under my agreement to be transferred to his name, subject to all legal and hotel requirements.”
Manager ne Jibran ko dekha aur phir apne tablet par uski details check karne laga.
Kuch seconds baad uska expression serious ho gaya.
Manager: “Sir, there is one issue.”
Lal Khan: “What issue?”
Manager: “Mr. Jibran is currently on a student visa. I cannot transfer the investment-related arrangements or make him the beneficiary of the agreement without the required legal and immigration clearance.”
Lal Khan ne sar hilaya.
Lal Khan: “Oh… okay. I understand.”
Usne foran apna phone nikala aur lawyer ko call ki.
Lal Khan: “Hello. We have an issue with the hotel transfer.”
Lawyer: “What happened, sir?”
Lal Khan: “Jibran is still on a student visa, so the hotel manager cannot complete the transfer.”
Lawyer: “Understood, sir. Once Mr. Jibran's immigration status is legally changed or he becomes eligible for the relevant arrangement, contact the hotel manager again. We can then complete the required legal documentation and transfer the applicable investment profits and hotel arrangements to his name.”
Lal Khan: “Fine. Do that.”
Lawyer: “Okay, sir. Just send me the hotel manager's contact number.”
Lal Khan ne phone manager ko diya.
Lal Khan: “Here. Exchange your numbers with him.”
Manager ne lawyer ka number save kiya aur apna contact bhi share kar diya.
Manager: “Once everything is legally cleared, we will coordinate with your lawyer and proceed according to the hotel's policies.”
Lal Khan: “Good.”
Jibran ab bhi bilkul chup tha.
Kuch der baad Jibran ne Lal Khan ki taraf dekha.
Jibran: “Uncle… agar aap ijazat dein to main ab wapas jana chahta hoon.”
Lal Khan ne usay dekha aur dheere se sar hilaya.
Lal Khan: “Theek hai beta. Main tumhein rokunga nahi.”
Jibran door ki taraf barhne laga.
Lal Khan ne usay awaaz di.
Lal Khan: “Jibran.”
Jibran ruk gaya.
Jibran: “Ji, uncle?”
Lal Khan ki awaaz achanak serious ho gayi.
Lal Khan: “Ek baat yaad rakhna.”
Jibran: “Ji?”
Lal Khan: “Abid Sahib ko is sab ke baare mein ek lafz bhi mat batana.”
Jibran kuch seconds tak Lal Khan ko dekhta raha.
Jibran: “Theek hai, uncle. Main kisi ko kuch nahi bataunga.”
Lal Khan: “Good. Aur jo kuch aaj dekha hai, usay filhaal apne tak hi rakhna.”
Jibran ne sar hilaya aur suite se bahar nikal gaya.
Lift ke darwaze band hue.
Jibran akela khara tha, lekin uske zehan mein sirf Lal Khan ki baatein ghoom rahi thin.
“Lal Khan asal mein hai kaun?”
“Uske paas Baba ki itni purani pictures kahan se aayi?”
“Aur usne apni itni daulat mere naam kyun kar di?”
Jibran ke chale jane ke baad Lal Khan ne phone nikala aur Boss ko call ki.
Lal Khan: “Hello, Boss?”
Boss: “Yes, Lal Khan. Everything went as planned?”
Lal Khan: “Yes, Boss. Everything has been done exactly as you told me.”
Boss: “Jibran ko koi doubt to nahi hua?”
Lal Khan: “Nahi, Boss. Thora surprised tha, lekin usne koi serious doubt nahi kiya.”
Boss: “Good. Ab sab se important kaam uska visa hai.”
Lal Khan: “Yes, Boss. Hotel manager ne bhi yehi issue raise kiya tha. Jibran abhi Student Visa par hai, is liye woh investment arrangement aur hotel agreement directly uske naam transfer nahi kar sakte.”
Boss: “I know. Isi liye lawyer ko already involve kiya gaya hai.”
Lal Khan: “Boss, agar uske naam legally millions ki income aur assets transfer ho jate hain, to kya uska Student Visa jaldi change ho sakta hai?”
Boss: “Sirf paisa hone se visa change nahi hota, Lal Khan. Uski immigration category properly arrange karni hogi.”
Lal Khan: “To phir kitna time lagega?”
Boss: “Agar woh kisi qualifying route ke liye eligible hai aur documents complete hain, application prepare karke immediately submit ki ja sakti hai. Lekin approval guaranteed nahi hota.”
Lal Khan: “Aur agar Skilled Worker route possible ho?”
Lal Khan: “Samajh gaya, Boss.”
Boss: “Aur ek baat. Usko simply ‘residency’ ka promise mat karna. Pehle uski immigration eligibility confirm hogi. Jo bhi route legally available ho, usi ke through move karna hai.”
Lal Khan: “Yes, Boss.”
Boss: “Financial side strong honi chahiye. Investment income, source of funds, ownership documents, tax records, bank statements — sab properly documented hone chahiye.”
Lal Khan: “Sab documents arrange ho jayenge, Boss.”
Boss: “Good. Aur transfer bhi carefully karna. Paisa aur property uske naam legally transfer honi chahiye. Hotel agreement aur future profits bhi tabhi transfer honge jab lawyer aur hotel dono clearance de dein.”
Lal Khan: “Understood.”
Boss: “Aur mujhe ek week ke andar complete progress report chahiye.”
Lal Khan: “One week, Boss?”
Boss: “Yes. Within one week. Documents, lawyer, hotel manager — everyone should be coordinated. Visa application ke liye jo bhi legally possible hai, woh immediately prepare karo.”
Lal Khan: “Don't worry, Boss. Main personally sab follow up karunga.”
Boss: “Good. Jibran ko unnecessary details mat do. Usay sirf itna pata hona chahiye ke legal formalities chal rahi hain.”
Lal Khan: “Yes, Boss.”
Boss: “And Lal Khan…”
Lal Khan: “Yes?”
Boss: “Visa must be transferred properly. No shortcuts. Agar immigration status clear nahi hua, to baqi transfers bhi hold par rahenge.”
Lal Khan: “Understood, Boss. Everything will be done carefully and legally.”
Boss: “Good. Keep me updated.”
Lal Khan: “Yes, Boss.”
Call disconnect ho jati hai.
Lal Khan phone pocket mein rakhta hai aur kuch der khamoshi se khara rehta hai. Uske zehan mein ab sirf ek hi cheez thi — Jibran ka visa aur tamam legal transfers ek week ke andar properly arrange karna..
Boss se call khatam hone ke kuch der baad Lal Khan ne hotel manager ko dobara call ki.
Lal Khan: “Hello, Manager?”
Manager: “Yes, Mr. Lal Khan.”
Lal Khan: “One more thing. This boy, Jibran, will start coming here from next week. I want you to make sure he is properly introduced to the hotel and its services.”
Manager: “Of course, sir. We can arrange everything for him.”
Lal Khan: “Please handle him carefully. I don't want any complaints or confusion from his side.”
Manager: “Understood, sir. We will make sure he is comfortable and knows how everything works.”
Lal Khan: “Good. The legal transfer will be completed by the lawyer within the next few weeks. Until then, everything should continue under my account.”
Manager: “Understood.”
Lal Khan: “I'll leave his room key and membership card with you. Hand them over to him when he comes next week.”
Manager: “Yes, sir. We'll take care of it.”
Lal Khan: “And make sure he can access all the services covered under my account until the transfer is officially completed.”
Manager: “Certainly, sir. His access will remain under your account until we receive the formal transfer instructions.”
Lal Khan: “Good. That's all I wanted.”
Manager: “Don't worry, Mr. Lal Khan. We'll handle everything professionally.”
Lal Khan: “Thank you. Keep me informed if there is any issue.”
Manager: “Of course, sir.”
Call disconnect ho jati hai.
Lal Khan ne phone table par rakha aur kuch der khamoshi se suite mein khara raha.
Jibran hotel se bahar nikla aur bina kisi khaas direction ke paidal chalne laga.
Usay khud nahi pata tha ke woh kis road par hai, kahan ja raha hai aur kitni door chala gaya hai.
Lekin uske dil mein ajeeb si khushi thi.
Woh andar hi andar itna excited tha ke uska dil kar raha tha ke raste mein hi nachna shuru kar de.
Jibran (dil mein): “Uff… paisa hi paisa!”
Uske zehan mein ek saath bohat saare khayal chal rahe thay.
Itna paisa…
Luxury…
Apni life…
Aur sab se important — Komal.
Jibran (dil mein): “Komal ke liye ab ek safe aur luxury place.”
Usay Komal ka kuch lambo pehle ka gussa yaad aaya.
Jibran (dil mein): “Bohat gussa kar rahi thi… aur itne nakhre dikha rahi thi.”
Jibran halki si muskurahat ke saath chalta raha.
Jibran (dil mein): “Abhi usay kuch nahi bataunga.”
Usne faisla kar liya.
Jibran (dil mein): “Uski birthday tak bilkul nahi. Birthday par hi usay surprise dunga.”
Woh chalta chalta ek shopping area mein aa gaya.
Uski nazar ek khoobsurat showroom par padi. Glass windows ke andar jewellery display ho rahi thi.
Jibran kuch seconds tak bahar khara raha, phir andar chala gaya.
Ek staff member foran uske paas aaya.
Staff: “Good evening, sir. How can I help you?”
Jibran: “My fiancée's birthday is coming.”
Staff: “That's wonderful, sir. What are you looking for?”
Jibran: “I want a diamond necklace. Something light, elegant and unique. It's her 19th birthday, so I want something special.”
Staff: “Of course, sir. Please have a look at these designs.”
Staff member ne kuch elegant diamond necklaces display par rakhe.
Jibran ek ek necklace ko ghour se dekhne laga.
Kuch der baad uski nazar ek simple, delicate aur unique design par ruk gayi.
Jibran: “This one…”
Staff: “Excellent choice, sir.”
Jibran: “How much is it?”
Staff ne price bataya.
Jibran ne ek pal ke liye amount dekha, phir halki si muskurahat uske chehre par aa gayi.
Jibran: “Okay.”
Staff: “Would you like to purchase it today, sir?”
Jibran ne necklace ko dobara dekha.
Jibran: “Not right now. I'll call you.”
Staff ne apna contact number Jibran ke phone mein save karwa diya.
Jibran: “When I call, I want it delivered.”
Staff: “Certainly, sir. Where would you like it delivered?”
Jibran ne hotel ka naam aur apne suite ka room number bata diya.
Uska andaaz aisa tha jaise woh casually bata raha ho ke ab woh kahan rehta hai.
Jibran: “I'll call you when I need it. Once I confirm, deliver the necklace to my hotel room and I'll make the payment.”
Staff: “Of course, sir. We'll arrange the delivery accordingly.”
Jibran: “Good. And please keep this particular piece aside for me.”
Staff: “Certainly, sir.”
Jibran ne showroom se bahar qadam rakha.
Usne phone pocket mein rakha aur muskurate hue dobara chalna shuru kar diya.
Uske zehan mein sirf ek hi scene tha—
Komal ka birthday…
Aur uske saamne woh diamond necklace.
Jibran (dil mein): “Bas birthday tak chup rehna hai… phir dekhna Komal, tum kitni khush hoti ho.”
