Whisper of the Heart

Arjun Mehra

ARJUN POV:

The bustling streets of Mumbai pulsed with life, a symphony of honking horns, vendors'calls, and the chatter of millions. The humid air carried the scent of street food mixed with the sea breeze, as the city's iconic skyline stood tall against the horizon.Amidst the chaos, modern skycrapers reached for the, a testament to city's ambitious spirit.

I woke up by listening the sound of my alarm at 5.00am. After freshening up I went for a jog and did my one hour of exercise. Then I went to take shower.After taking shower I got ready for the office and went to the dinning area to have my breakfast which was made by my househelp appointed by my mom so that my meals are sorted.

After opening my architectural firm , I started living alone in an apartment. My mother was not ready for this but eventually she agreed. After I was done with my breakfast I went to my office to attend my meetings. Today was very hectic as I had meetings one after the other with the clients. I skip my lunch too.

After the meeting was over I was so exhausted I went to my cabin and asked for coffee to my assistant. I checked my mobile phone and saw so many missed calls of my mom.I quickly called her.She picked the phone in the first ring.

"Hello"

"Where were you?"

"Mom, I was busy with the meetings."

"Have you skipped your lunch?"

How does mom get to know everything?

"Mom, I will eat food, don't worry"

"I called to inform you to come home for dinner. Aditi is coming tomorrow. I want you also to be present."

"Maa, she is your guest. What will I do there?

" I want you to come and that is final."

"Okay, I will come tonight.BYE. LOVE YOU.

"Love you too, beta".

I hung up the phone and started having my coffee which my assistant brought and started reading files which needed my urgent attention.

After done reading the files I looked at my watch and it was 7pm already. I remembered that my mother had called me today to come tonight. I called my assistant to inform him about my early departure. I usually leave office around 9pm, but today I have to go home so I decided to leave early. I went towards the garage and left for home.
