SAMAYARA CHAKA
(Wheel of Time)

SCENE-IV >>

Meena : Listen. You are always busy in your office work and not even taking care of your
health. So, lets go out for a change. O.K. ?

Madan : I am not only listening, but digesting as well.

Meena : You are always teasing me. People are working from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. But your
office schedule is from 6 a.m. until midnight.

Madan : First and foremost I will have to think of the people. It is only thereafter, that I will
decide on your proposal.

Meena : If you will decide this, then it is not unlikely that one fine day you will abandon
               desert me unknowingly. (Both of them laughed)
               (At this moment a Police Officer, namely Ramesh Mohanty and the Cashier
                 Managovinda Mohanty stage an entry)

Ramesh : May I come in Sir ?

Madan : Yes, do come in please ?

Ramesh : Are you the Executive Engineer, namely Madan Mohan Mohanty ?

Madan : Yes, Yes, I am Madan Mohan Mohanty. Please do come in and be seated. May I
know what has happend ?

Ramesh : There is a search warrant Sir. We'll have to search your house.

Madan : What are you talking about ? A search warrant in my name ! Why ?

Ramesh : It is reliably reported that an amount of Rupees Five Lakhs and Fifty Thousand
has beenallegedly embezzled by you. Thus, on the basis of this allegation, I have
come to arrest you.

Madan : What nonsense ? Do you know who you are speaking to ?

Ramesh : Do you know this gentleman ?

Madan : Who, Managovinda Babu ? (To Managovinda) - Managovinda, yesterday you
were not well so I went and took the keys. When I opened the iron chest to
disburse the payment it was totally empty. So I . . . . . . . .

Managovinda : Sir, you are insulting me.

Madan : I haven't pushed you out, that's all . . . . . .

Managovinda : Sir, you're again misunderstanding me . . . . ?

Madan : There is certainly some ulterier motive, on your part, in having brought a search
warrant, in my name, with the Police. Undoubtedly there is something fishy . . . . .

Ramesh : O.K. look, Mr. Mohanty, we have heard that you're going out for a change, and
you arealso planning to kill your wife because of money. So, we have to search
your house, it is my duty.

Madan : All right, do your duty. Please remember that I, too, have also get some money.
Please don't think that it is office money.

Ramesh : I've get the numbers of the currency notes.

Madan : Go ahead with your search. (The Inspector started searching for Madan babu's
wife Meena and the servant Ghana who had come and stood near Madan Babu)

Constable : (Searching under the sofa). Suddenly, the constable shouted : "Here are some
currency notes under the sofa mattress."

Ramesh : What is this Madan Babu . . . . .

Madan : (Absolutely shocked) Ghana go and bring my revolver. I will teach them a lesson.

Ghana : Sir . . . . . . .

Ramesh : Please be conscious. Otherwise you will commit yet another blunder.

Managovinda : Sir, Please check the numbers on the currency notes.

Madan : (Looking at Meena) Don't worry Meena. I am going and will very soon be back
home toyou. This is a wonderful and strange life. Why are are, most unnecessarily
crying Meena ? Whatever this world may say, but at least you know what I am ?

Meena : No. . . . . No. . . . . . No. . . . . .
