Memories do the magic. Part 2.

 .....Contd. from Part 1......

Martin broke the silence and asked about his well being. John smiled positively, and asked Martin whether he remembered their previous congregation?. Martin nodded in affirmation and talked about the incident that took place about 5 years ago. 

     Till that time the owner of the glass factory and few of Martin's friends also assembled around as curiosity was at the peak. They all wanted to know, how Martin knew John- who was a billionaire industrialist. Sensing the prevailing eagerness in the atmosphere, John pointing towards his friend addressed them all. He said that he knew Martin out of an accident, which happened 5 years back. He narrated the whole incident, that how his car broke out in the middle of the road and he was intimidated by a gang of burglars. How Martin came to his rescue and helped him overcome the situation.

     John also told everyone that it was a real crisis in which he was locked 5 years back and it was only due to Martin that he was alive. The gang of burglars which was a dangerous gang indeed was countered with the help of Martin. He also informed that Martin was so modest and humble a person, that he did not want any reward or remuneration from John and he left the spot quickly. That he didn't allow John time, even for a formal introduction leave aside the reward. 

    John looked quite pleasant and surprised and went with his friend- the glass factory owner to his office.The office was situated inside the campus itself, and was meant for formal meetings. Both of them were there for around half an hour and then came out. Everyone was busy in their work lest they heard an announcement. It was John who addressed them all and announced that after taking a feedback from his friend and much discussions. He came to the conclusion that in order to settle scores for the incident that happened long back and to repay his social debt. John was appointing Martin - the chief security officer of his group of industries, as he needed an honest and sincere person and he fulfilled the criterion. 

   Everyone was enthralled hearing this and congratulated Martin on his success. Martin also looked up and thanked God as ' the memories did the magic', and lady luck smiled on him. In the evening when he went back home, the family members were elated on his success. The jubilation was obvious and natural, and why not as martin's salary was enhanced nearly 'ten times'.
