Whispered Promises Of love ❤️

chapter 4

This week, Arjun is flying to India. It's been around 15 years , and he moved out of India. Only a few people were left whom he could call his family. Lakshya, Grandmother, and Vrinda.

Arjun's Pov:

"Vrinda. She is my love of life. The only person from whom my heart flutters. She is my breath and soul. But I can't express my love to her because I am the most unlucky person in this world. Whatever I want in my life, God snatches it from me without any mercy. I lost my parents. I love my mavayya (uncle), but I lost him. Now, I don't want to miss the remaining people whom I call as a family. That was one of the reasons why I moved to states in the name of my studies. Later , I want to prove myself worthy before coming back to India. So , I started working at an early age and invested my hard earned money in business and shares. Now, I have my own business with many competitors . When everything is going smoothly, the news of Vrinda 's kidnapping comes as turbulence.

After that incident, an unknown fear took over me. The thought of something happening to our beloved ones is making me restless. I couldn't guess the unknown enemy. I don't know what the kidnaper wants from us. Why did they target Vrinda when she had no parents? But I can sense something unpredictable is happening around us. I couldn't guess what it was. With these chains of thoughts in mind, I could not stay cool. So I thought of finishing off my work as soon as possible and moving back to India. I made up my mind to continue my dad's business. Till today, Govid uncle took responsibility for the company, but now I want to step in and look after everything. He is getting old, and I should be responsible considering his age. I can't make him take more tension.

I miss Grandma and Lakshya. Lakshya was hardly 5 years old when we lost our parents. I couldn't digest the bitter fact of our parents' death. I started to stay aloof . I needed my space to process everything. I stopped talking with everyone. So, I couldn't concentrate on Lakshya and Vrinda when they needed me. I was not myself. I was wrecked. Seeing my condition, grandma was more worried . Govind uncle suggested a change in place would bring a difference, so without any further delay, I was sent to Bangalore for my studies. After my 12th grade , I applied for graduation in states, which I could easily get through. I completed my masters also and started working. Never in these 15 years I came to India.

I was in touch with Lakshya and Grandma. I was in contact even with Govind uncle, but it's been 17 years since I spoke to Vrinda. I didn't want to do it. It happened just like that, which I couldn't correct. My heart knew that Vrinda was not at fault when that incident took place, but

my mind made me visualize the accident , making Vrinda guilty. This created distance between us. We never tried to communicate with each other after that incident. I want to talk to her. I want to clear our misunderstandings, but for that to happen, Vrinda should give me a chance. Will she give me a chance to sort out our differences. ?. Am I worth her chance?.

One person to whom I am indebted is Govind uncle. Govind uncle, aka Govind Rajan, is the trusted employee (manager cum auditor) under my uncle. He knew the in and outs of our company and business. He stood as a pillar for our family and became my savior in my tough times. He was the one who encouraged me to study hard. He took care of Lakshya and Vrinda in my absence. Though Grandma was there at that time, even her health was not proper. It's a big blow to her as she lost both her children. Her loss can not be filled by anyone. So, Govind uncle became my support system both personally and professionally. Now, it's high time for me to take charges of our business in India. So that uncle can get some relief from the burden he is carrying all these years.

Radha aunty, his wife is a lovely woman. She became a mother to Vrinda and Lakshya. This couple had a daughter named Keerthi. She is just like my Lakshya, fun loving and caring. She is like a sister to me. She is best friends with Vrinda and Lakshya. She works in the same company where Vrinda works. I miss them all a lot.

So, I decided to wrap up my work as early as possible. I can't wait to see them. I miss the familial love and affection. Who will not miss this love and bonding when you lose everyone and isolate yourself . I am no exception here.

I have become confident enough in my business ,and my experiences made me strong. Failure is a stepping stone to success. This is true in my case. I faced many hurdles in my path to success. I didn't achieve success overnight. My intelligence is my investment. I trust myself, and that paid well for my career. I want to be successful in my country also. Though our business in India is not flourishing well, it still has its goodwill. Govind uncle made sure that our company doesn't lose its image. Now, my company's image and goodwill with the capital I have will be my investment to restart our business. We don't have any ongoing projects as of now. We had some commercial properties and land. Govind uncle managed financially with these two sources until I started working. Now I want to start fresh. I hope everything goes well as I planned.

Thank you, friends.

Stay safe and healthy.

Bye.
