aurore - an unusual love story √

part forty five

Rains.

Jai couldn't comprehend if he hated the thing right now. Ideally he should have. Because the untimely rains ruined every desire of his to be in the sky at the moment.

However, the little explosions of joy in his stomach, and the constant giggles of a child in his lap, didn't let the seed of hatred for anything to grow in his mind.

Humaira was on cloud nine as she watched splashes of rains hit the huge glasses of the flying club lounge. Apparently the sounds of the thunders and rains, excited her than frighten.

" Look at her! She loves rains so much! " , Jai spoke, equally excited.
" And she expresses her likes so spontaneously even at this age! " , Jai cuddled her. She was blabbering illegible words.

" Children can do that.

As they inch to adulthood, their matured brains stop them from expressing what they like, whom they like...and to what extent. " , Sonara slowly spoke. Staring at the translucent glasses, made so, by the constant rains.

" You're very right." , Jai nodded.
" By the way, I so wish I could have seen the face of Daddy Chhetri when he was fired. Ophh!

But Maya stopped me from going to the factory even for once during the takeover! "

" Because she's smart with business. "

" And I'm not. Right? Thank you so much. " , Jai faked anger, because he knew it quite well.

" I know you know that too. You are emotional. Emotions have no place in business. " , Sonara smiled, looking into his eyes.

" Do you mean Maya Raichand is emotionless? " , Jai ducked his tongue out.

" She's one of a kind. No rule defines her. "

Jai stared at her for sometime. Then said,
" I think Som and Bhoomi are together. They haven't met or called me for quite sometime now. "

" How long didn't they communicate? " , Sonara took in the second part.

" Umm, two days. "

" Wow. That's so long. " , Sonara twisted her lips.

" Don't mock. It is extremely long, for me.
But the point is, why would they not let me know of their budding love! I'll be happy for them!

It hurt me that they didn't consider me a friend regarding a decision they took. " , Jai looked sad.

Sonara stared at him for sometime.

This morning after breakfast, Maya left, asking Jai to take Sonara and Humaira somewhere nearby, to make them feel good. Sonara was too eager to fly, Jai knew. Though he wished to be in the takeover procedure, Maya said, his presence would only instigate the Chhetris directly. She didn't want any instant reaction.

Anytime else, Jai would have only thought that Maya didn't want him to interfere in things related to business. But today, he found her concern genuine.

Hence, Sonara, Jai and Humaira were here now. Jai was extremely excited with the baby flying along.
However, Sonara looked a bit distracted and pale. Jai wanted to ask, but didn't. Something stopped him.

Last night's words, maybe..

On reaching here, it started raining so hard that they were now seated idly.

" They aren't together, I am sure.
No one falls in love, in two days. Mr Jai Prakash Raichand. It takes eons to fall for someone.

And in Bhoomi's case, it'll take eons to forget someone...too. " , Sonara said.
