Where are you now

"Where are you 'cause I'm thinking of you...

You showed me how to live like I do..."

Where are you now, Justin Bieber

"Why are you standing here?" Arnav asked Adam who was standing alone in the balcony of Raizada Mansion.

Just an hour after the interview Adam joined Raizadas at RM and everyone had dinner together. Nani asked him to shift his belongings from hotel to RM to which he agreed. Dinner was over and everyone were chatting in the living room when Arnav saw Adam slipping upstairs.

Adam turned and said, "I cannot stand that lady!"

"Dadi?" Arnav asked.

"She is your Nani, by the way!" Adam said nodding.

Arnav nodded and walked to stand near him. Both of them looked around the vast premises of Raizada mansion and Adam asked, "Were Raizadas so rich from the beginning?"

"No" Arnav said, "We're actually middle class. Had a small house at Vasant Vihar colony."

"And this?" Adam asked motioning the big mansion.

"After my business flourished, I constructed this house!" Arnav said. Adam nodded.

"Listen...I....I cannot change my name okay?" Arnav said stammering.

Adam looked at surprised, "I never asked you to change your name, did I? Why would you do that?"

"Woh....no...I mean di is changing her name to Anjali Adam Joan. So...I cannot...like you said, remember, my company is my identity. AR is my identity. ASR is my business name. I'm known by the name Raizada! So I cannot change it. Not that I don't accept you. I do but...."

Adam cut him in and said, "It's okay Arnav. Waise bhi Arnav Adam Joan is very weird!"

Arnav chuckled and Adam laughed.

"It's weird you know..." Arnav said chuckling, "Like, I was jealous of you since I started realizing that every year the award is taken by you! And suddenly I found out that you're my dad!"

"Award!" Adam laughed shaking his head, "You have to go a long way to reach that award Arnav. The position you're in is not great! You may be the best in Indian fashion but trust me when I say this, me and my rivals were at your present stage by the first year of our business! Of course our fields are different but the business tactics and management is same everywhere! You have to improve!"

"I will" Arnav said determined, "I'm not gonna let you take that award anymore! It's high time that you stop getting on that stage!"

Adam burst out laughing and ruffled Arnav's hair. "This boy" he said in fits of laughter.

"I'm not a boy" Arnav retorted and fixed his hair.

"You are!" Adam said firmly, "You're my boy!"

Arnav looked at him and smiled warmly at that. Now he know why Aarav smiles when he calls him my boy!

"Listen" Adam said, "How long has Anjali been divorced from Shyam?"

"You know about Shyam?"Arnav asked surprised.

"She told me yesterday" he said.

"It's been six months! She moved on very fast you know. I never expected that!" Arnav said smiling.
