Era's POV
"Where are we going?" I asked the most obvious question.
"You will know" He simply grinned.
Finally we reached to a familiar building. It was Neel's office. He took out the keys and we went inside the giant building. Everything was quiet. We could hear our breaths.
We stepped inside the fireplace room where I made the coffee and Neel lighted the fireplace. He disappeared from the room, only to return with some cookies.
"This building has the best pantry ever." He smiled.
Instead of sitting on the sofa, we sipped coffee and ate cookies while we talked about the event, my almost extinct stage fear, our hobbies, our parents and so on.
"You seem to know a hell lot about me.", I smiled as I broke the last remaining cookie into half , ate the first half and gave another half to him.
He didn't say anything for a minute. Just ate his cookie and sipped his remaining coffee. He took the plate and our coffee mugs and again disappeared from the room. I guessed he went to the pantry again to wash the mags and the tray. People over here didn't wait for others to do their left-over chores. This land housed the most prolific minds of the century who were never ashamed of doing the smallest chores like washing dishes or changing tires etc.
"About your last remark, I am sorry.", He said as he resumed his position.
"Why sorry?" I asked.
"I had always been fascinated by you. Ever since you possessed my ring. Don't think that I am creepy. Its just that I always thought that you are meant to be here. In this world. If you possess my forefather's ring, I don't think its a mere coincidence. I believe that every human being is sent by the God to fulfil some purpose. You don't seem to know yours. But I have a hunch." He said as he came closer to me.
"And may I know what is that?" I felt a bit conscious under the scrutiny of his intense eyes.
"To live here and bring a beautiful change in the lives of people. Everything happens for a reason. Why do you think you got my family's heirloom? Why did your uncle simply transferred you this house whereas he could have sold it and fetch a great amount? Why did your husband found his love in EXACTLY the same time your uncle decided to give you the mansion?" he spoke up with conviction.
"I know that this place houses people with superior IQs. People who do not believe in magic or faith or destiny or law of attraction. I might look like a fool if I speak what I had just spoken now. But trust me, my hunch never fails me. You are meant to do great things in your life. No matter how much you label yourself as an "average". He said as he leaned away from me.
It was the first time in my life someone had admired me with such a heart-touching genuine way. Wait a minute how did he come to know about my married life?
I gave him a scrutinizing gaze, which he seemed to avoid. He had some major things to explain.
"Hey, the storm is about to come!" He said as he looked outside the window.
Yes, it is about to come in this very room.
