When Om came back to where he worked, on the third floor, he was still feeling a little bit emotional. The scene where so many people were standing and applauding for him, that was imprinted in his heart. All that he felt on that stage was a little weird for him. But that weirdness was very wonderful. It felt like…he was in love with that scene. He felt like….he was made for that. At first, when he was unfamiliar with that feeling, it didn't matter. But now that he had felt it, he didn't want to let go of that feeling. He wanted..... to feel that once again.
Om was still in the state of daze when someone knocked on his desk. This sound pulled Om from his daze. When he looked up, it was no one other than the department head, Ravindra. Seeing his face, Om knew he wasn't feeling well at all. After all, Om had foiled all his plan to kick him out of the company and could even say that he profited a lot by getting on boss's good side. If this isn't the reason for Ravindra's bad mood then Om could only say that he was going through his that time of the month(If you know what I mean).
Even though Ravindra was Department Head, Om still didn't stand up and greet him, instead he leisurely sat on his seat and looked at Ravindra calmly. Seeing that Om didn't have any intentions to stand up and greet him, Ravindra was very angry. Om was doing this in front of everyone in the department. 'Is he shaming me?' Ravindra thought darkly in his heart. But remembering the matter he came there for, he calmed down. He looked at Om silently a bit, then opened his mouth and said, "The boss wants you in his office tomorrow morning at 8'o clock sharp. And for you performance earlier, this…this is a little gift that the boss has sent you as a reward."
When Ravindra came to the reward part, his face got ugly. But he still gritted his teeth and took out a cheque on which the amount was written as Rs 30,000. Seeing the 5 digit number, Om's eyes went wide. He dazedly took the cheque. When he looked at the cheque once again, he became emotional. After suffering for around 3 months, today his suffering had come to an end. After eating cup-noodles for so long, today he could eat a proper meal. And he could also send a lot more money than he usually did to his parents. These thoughts had filled his head. When he came out of these emotional memories, Ravindra was nowhere to be seen.
After looking around, he found that many people were secretly looking at him. When Om looked towards them, they immediately turned their heads around. Seeing this, Om shook his head and started doing his own things. Seeing that Om had busied himself with his things and not paying any attention to them, the other employees started murmuring between themselves.
"Did you see that? Department Head just gave a cheque to Om and seeing his dazed look, it seems that the amount was not small."
"What did he do to get a cheque directly from the Department Head?"
"How would I know that? How about asking him yourself?"
"I don't want to."
Two female employee talked between themselves. But they were not the only ones talking.
"Hey, why did boss give that cheque to Om?"
"How would I know?"
"But didn't boss have a deep hatred with him?"
"Yes. And he still hates him now. But why would he give him a cheque though?"
"Alright, let's ask about this from the boss himself. There is no point in trying to figure out ourselves."
"Yes, you are right."
These three were none other than the three loyal subordinates of the Department Head, Ravindra. After the morning's matter, they were terrified by Om. They were so terrified that they failed to notice a serious change in his personality. The previous owner of the body was a very meek person who didn't even look like he would ever get angry. As for the body strength, it's better that we don't talk about it. But the Om right now not only beat two trained men very easily, he looked at the Department Head eye to eye strongly without even a trace of his meek personality to be seen.
Although they might realizes about this in the future but they still wouldn't be able to understand why such changes appeared in Om. So, let's put aside this topic for now and return to the main story.
As I was saying, Om's personality had changed very greatly, and Ravindra had a very bad premonition about it too. He felt that the Om right now wasn't the Om that had begged in front of him to forgive him. He just couldn't figure out what was happening. What had caused such a big change in Om(As I said earlier). The boss, Arjun had called Om to meet him personally in his office, and what would happen there was making Ravindra very distressed. What would happen there? What would the boss gift him? Is Om going to be promoted? All types of questions were popping out in his brain. Soon he realized that if he kept thinking about these issues, he would definitely go crazy, so he stopped thinking about it.
"Let's the tomorrow's problem trouble tomorrow's me. I should just go home and watch T.V." Ravindra muttered.

The sun was about to go down and Om had already come out of the company's building. He had completed the work he had to do, so he was free to leave. When he came out of the main entrance of the company, he had to walk for about half a kilometer before he could get a taxi back to Indirapuram.
After walking for a while, he stood at the side of the road and raised his left hand as if he was taking an oath. This was the universal symbol to call for a taxi. Not long after, a taxi stopped near him. Om sat on it and then the taxi left.
