"Chotte, why not you listen to your Jeejaji?" Arnav's cousin Anjali asked.

Arnav rolled his eyes.

"Di, how many times do you want me to say I'm not interested in going Abroad?"

"Chotte, your Jeejaji is the big contractor. Because of him, many people are getting good lives but being my brother, you are not at all showing interest in using the chance"

"Di, I'm happy with what I'm doing..."

"You are just earning thirty thousand..."

"It's enough for me, Di... I have my own house. So, no rental issues. Got a simple job with a satisfying salary..."

"Is it enough? Don't you want to save money for your future?"

"Di, I just finished my master's in chemical engineering six months ago...! I put my full effort into completing chemical engineering. Let me breathe for a while freely. I will join jeejaji if needed. I will surely ask Jeejaji if I need to settle down in my life... ok?"

"If you are not interested, you can take up short-time work. It's just for three months but can get good pay"

"This is why I'm not coming to your house. You are not at all listening to me" he annoyed.

Anjali pouted.

"Di, please don't compel me. I don't like to leave India. I'm doing a new project in my company. If it clicks, I will get good pay in India itself"

"I didn't intend to annoy you, Chotte. If you join your Jeejaji, you will become firm in your life. If you learn Jeejaji's job, you can take up a sub-contract too... that's why I told you"

"But, I'm not interested Di"

Anjali sighed.

"I'm leaving Di"

"Wait... have coffee and go"

"That's ok, di... I have to press my dresses. I get only one day off... I have to manage everything on Sunday..."

Arnav stood up, taking his helmet.

"Bye, babe..." he tapped Shali, his niece's head.

"Bye..." she smiled.

"Keep coming, Chotte..."

Arnav nodded slowly.

"I promise... I won't ask you to go Abroad. Please keep coming"

"I'm sorry, di..." he hugged Anjali.

"It's ok... it's all common between us... isn't it?" She smiled.

Arnav chuckled.

"Bye, Di... convey my regards to Jeejaji if he calls you"

"Sure"

Arnav left Anajli's house.

Though Anjali was Arnav's cousin, she was so close to him. Whenever Arnav got time, he visited her place. Her husband Shyam was a contractor who visited Saudi as he had contract there. He shared a good bond with Arnav as they were in the same field. Shyam was ready to give Arnav good pay but Arnav was not interested in going abroad.

Arnav lost his mother when he was in his master's first year of engineering. His father started to become weak after his wife's demise. He died when Arnav was in his final year. Arnav completed his master's after a big struggle. His UG and PG friends were there for him to console him. Shyam and Anjali's part in consoling him was noticeable.
