Abandoned wife

Chapter 18

I'll use some hindi/urdu lines in this chapter as without them this chapter will be boring and plain. I'll give my best to translate it in english.

Suna bhi kuch nahi
Kaha bhi kuch nahi
Par kuch aise bikhre hai
Zindagi ki kashmkash mai
Ki Kuch toota bhi nahi
Aur kuch bacha bhi nahi
(Nothing is heard and nothing is said
But life is scattered in a way that nothing is broken and  nothing is left)

"Sir, this is for you." maid handed him an envelope. Akshay opened it and its an invitation to award the winning team of Indian super league. He checked the finalists team and this time Mumbai warriors and Bengluru bulls are fighting for the trophy.

"Mumbai warriors" he mumbled and memories of past start coming back.

"Bhai (brother) I need a favour" Anuj said with puppy dog face.

"and what is it today my prince" Akshay said without breaking  contact from his file.

"Bhai, I don't want to go to London."Anuj blurt with eyes closed and fingers crossed.

" What? "Akshay left his work immediately.

" Bhai I am least interested in economics. I don't understand how the law of economics work. Its not my cup of tea. I can't do that. "Anuj said holding Akshay's hand in his hand.

" okay if you don't want to do that, you'll not do that but Anuj you have to do something to support yourself. As a brother I'll always support you but you have to take responsibility on some point of time. I suggest you to find your passion and work on it. "

" I know my passion bhai but no one will agree with my decision. "

" Then you have to learn to present your point in convincing way. "Akshay said. No matter how much he loves his younger brother but truth is he can't be with him all the time. He has to learn fighting his battle.

" I am not going to London "Anuj announced to everyone and reaction is as expected. His mother is clueless, father didn't care, Bhabhi (Sister in law) and Avni is concerned and Dadaji is not pleased.

" I want to play professional football. "Anuj said. Its most difficult thing to do but he did it today. He chooses where his heart is.

" Are you out of your mind Anuj."Dadaji said." You belong to Ranawat family. We play games to de stress ourself not making it as career option. Its very risky decision and career span is very short. "

" but I can't sit in a office staring balance sheet and financial data. "

" Our company isn't limited to that. We have many department like marketing, construction, graphics etc. " the argument continue.

" So you won't let me do what I want. "

" Give me a business plan and may be I'll agree. Games is too risky and uncertain career option. "

" Fine, if you don't let me play, fine, give me 50 million to set up my alternative business. I'll show you my caliber. "Anuj came on the table for negotiation with his grandfather and he agreed ultimately.

Anuj put the foundation stone of football club Mumbai warrior. It was so difficult to convince players to play for this newly started club in the start. Later Anuj organised inter college football matches to find fresh faces. He has worked hard to form a team. Akshay used to see three of them i. e. Anuj, Avni and Smita discussing Jersey of team, logo of Mumbai warrior and many more things. Smita was very good in marketing, Avni is in logo and Jersey designing and Anuj on the field.
