11 The Horoscope

Part 11 The horoscope

Arnav came to his room all the way thinking about the astrologer. He wanted to see the astrologer's face when he corners him. He came to his room.

Ratna saw him climbing the stairs. She thought to give him coffee. She went to the kitchen and prepared it.

Arnav removed his coat and tie and threw them on the recliner. Tomorrow he had to go to Chennai. He should get his suitcase ready today itself. When he thought about his Chennai trip, he could not avoid thinking about the girl who was the reason for it, Khushi. Thank God, she saved his project. What would have happened if she had not? The goodwill of his company would have fled away. He could not have approached any company for the project from here on. He would have met much mockery from his rivals. Thank God she saved him.

Arnav chuckled remembering his new name, Komodo Dragon. He smiled recalling how she hopped on the file with anger.

That was when, he saw Ratna looking at him getting stuck. He composed himself. She came with the coffee cup.

"Chotte, what's the reason for your smile? Have you found someone who could make you forget your past?" She asked curiously which made Arnav stuck.

He managed himself.

"Mom, I'm thinking about the Chennai concert. Do you how I bagged the deal?"

Ratna hit his bicep.

"Why?"

"Anytime, deal, project, office, file... won't you think about a girl in your life?" she gave him the coffee cup.

"I'm always thinking about a girl OF MY LIFE... you know that" he started sipping the coffee.

"But, Chotte, you too need someone"

"Do you want me to forget her?"

"I didn't mean it"

"Then? I can think of my marriage only IF I forget her... I just can't forget her mom"

"It has been fifteen years since she went missing... we don't even know whether she is alive. Even if she is alive, she would have forgotten you because she was just seven years old at that time"

"But, I was fourteen years old at that time. I still remember everything. Does not it matter?"

"Passing your day uselessly is not wise"

"Who is passing days uselessly? There are many families depending on our company... is not it enough?"

Ratna sighed.

"Go, talking to you is useless"

"By the way, why did you call the astrologer?"

"What else? Arvindji wanted to know if you would change your mind"

"What did the astrologer say?"

"Nothing" She snatched the empty cup and walked.

"I understood what he had told you," Arnav said.

Ratna left without turning behind.

Arnav locked the door and came to his cupboard. He pulled the old trunk from the top shelf. He opened it and there were a few items in the trunk. He caressed them lovingly. He felt a tug in his heart while doing that. He searched for a paper in the trunk. There it was... he grabbed the paper which was so naïve. He kept it in his purse and rearranged the trunk on the same shelf.

The next day, he would sort the astrologer's issue. He smiled.

Aman came home. Anjali smiled at him.
