Be patient over what befalls you.

Chapter 27

There was something so serene about sunsets that nothing can be compared to. The cool soothing wind blew around making the atmosphere calm. It was just the calmness before the storm.

"Where is my file? My file?" I kept mumbling to myself while I was searching for an important file of the recent business deal.

"What is this, Sain? What have you done to your room?" Mom questioned pointing at the mess I created in my room as she entered my room.

I looked around the room and I found things scattered in the floor, bed, tables and so on.

"I'm looking for an important file. And all you care about is my room. Damn, where the hell did I keep it?" I said arrogantly releasing all my frustration of not finding the file.

"Mind your language, Sain." she uttered in pain as she looked at me intensely.

"Bhai, your files are also there in the second drawer."

I shifted my gaze from her and saw Ashi behind her.

My attention went into a book in her hand.

'Fault in our stars'

Seeing this book in her hand, my head was feeling hot and clenched my jaw as I stormed towards her and snatched the book from her.

"Who told you to take this?" I shouted at her and she widened her eyes in shock. I saw fear in her eyes.

"I'm... I'm so...sorry bhaiyya." she stammered and broke down in to tears as she stormed out of the room.

Mom looked at me fiercely and I saw the same pain in her eyes as she walked out of the room.

I opened the second drawer and found the file.

I sat down on the floor keeping the file aside caressing the cover page of the book.

"Love story?" I asked and she nodded, widening her eyes with her brows raised. I gave a smirk and took the book from her hand.

"Let me try your fantasy world of love stories." I said.

"It's not created but a real love story." she said.

"Oh then it's good." 

"You are buying this?" she asked me and I nodded. And then she thought for a moment.

"What's the need of buying? I'll give you this book after reading" she said grabbing the book from my hand.

I mouthed 'okay'.

"Instead you buy that book. Its good." She said pointing to another book named 'Fault in our stars' . I glanced at it and looked back at her, giving her a mean smile.

Hmm. So you want me to buy this book for you. Haa.

"If you want it, you buy it." I said.

"No, I was suggesting." she said with a lame smile.

"Madam, you want me to buy it cause you wanted it, right?" I said leaning towards her
