In a large, well-furnished living room, Girdhar’s entire family sat together, visibly worried. And why wouldn’t they be? Just a short while ago, their manager had called with shocking news ,the warehouse where they had been storing stock for one of their companies, which technically belonged to Mrityunjay, was to be vacated immediately. Mrityunjay had sent this order through his manager.

For the past five years, Girdhar’s family had been using that warehouse to store their company goods for free. Mrityunjay had never asked them for rent, nor had they offered. It had become an unspoken arrangement until now.
