THE JUGGLER'S MAGIC

Chapter 2: THE HITCHES OF THE FAILURE MAGIC

The room of Mr. Larinson is on the second floor. Since there is no lift, I had to opt the stairs up. After reaching the first floor I found a big mark of portrait on the wall beside the steps. It might be of the size 30 x 40. With "The court room of magic" and "The honorable owner" written on top of it. So, I guessed that that might a portrait of the owner of this auditorium. Thinking so I moved towards the next floor. Outside the room of Mr. Larinson stood the engineer Graf. He didn't allow me many times to meet Mr. Larinson, but I'd decided not to stop today even if he stops me from going into the room.

I walked towards the door and stopped in front of him. He's staring at me and so am I. After a second, with a gesture of my hand I'd asked him to move aside so that I could go inside.

With a denied expression on his face he shook his head rejecting my words. He continued, "meeting Mr. Larinson is not possible at this moment, he's very tired".

I was very annoyed with that answer. Since days whenever I thought of meeting Mr. Larinson this is the only answer I'm getting from this man, just the reason is being changed. But today I thought of meeting Mr. Larinson for sure. So, I started arguing with Graf. While the argument is being prolonged, there came out the voice of Mr. Larinson from the room in a weaker tone saying "Graf, are you here?" On hearing that, I went calm and Graf went inside the room. I understood that there is some discussion happening in the room, but I couldn't hear what's it. I tried listening to and understand something from it, after a minute I heard a big shout from Mr. Larinson commanding, "I should meet Arjun now itself." On hearing that, I immediately went into the room opening the door. On seeing me Mr. Larinson felt happy and just gave a smile on his face. Graf stood up from his chair, looking at me with anger in his face he'd went out of the room. I immediately went to the door, locked it, came back and sat on the chair beside Mr. Larinson's bed. He's Lying on the bed till I came in, now he'd managed sit on it taking the support of the wall.

"How are you feeling now Sir.?" I asked.

With the signs of dullness and fatigue in his face, "I need to talk to you, very urgent and very important" is the reply given by him.

"Definitely sir, tell me what's it."

He squatted on the bed, adjusted his sitting position and bent forward to talk. In a low voice, intending secrecy he started saying, "Arjun, this is getting more and more complicated. There is a whole lot to tell you and I know that you are also having many questions for me. I was trying to meet you since many days, before my operation and after my operation. But every time Graf stopped me. He didn't even allow me to go out of my room. I thought of taking your opinion about my operation but that didn't happen. At least, I thought that you would take care of me after my surgery, but he didn't even allow me to meet you once. Even now I'd asked him to call you, but he refused saying my brain might get damaged, there could be a problem of jet lag, the equipment connected to my brain might get heated up and so on. I was fed up on hearing all these dirty reasons so, I'd only thought of coming out to meet you, while the discussion is being done you'd come to meet me."

With an expression of agreement I replied saying, "Yes sir, even I'd thought of meeting you many times for asking the reason for this surgery, requesting you not to take it or at least to take care of you after the surgery. But even I'd got the same stupid reasons by Graf stopping me from meeting you. I'd decided to meet you today at any cost, so I'd started arguing with him and after I heard you shouting my name I came into the room."

He said, "Why will he allow you, he knows that you are only the one who could resolve all these complications. There is a whole lot of drama happening here at your back. I started this thinking that some good will happen to the people but, this is ending up leaving a big trouble for the society. I cannot handle these problems any more. You should find a solution for it and resolve all the problems of this or else this becomes a big threat to the society. I may ruin the entire reputation of magic. The respect of magic and the fame of THE GRAND ROYAL MAGIC EXPO is in your hands from now. Make sure they stay as they were."
