Chapter 4 - Life takes a turn

The once passionate architect Ramu now became extremely alcoholic . Instead of concentrating on his work, now he loved to spend time at parties . Once ,

A RICH CUSTOMER : Excuse me sir

RAMU : ( Taking a sip from his glass) Yes...

RICH CUSTOMER: Sir , I've learnt about your magnificent constructions, and would love to make a deal with you.

Sir , I want you to construct one of the most beautiful mansions ever known and that too very soon! Here is your advance if you are willing to do ( and places a box of 2000 rupee notes)

RAMU: (baffled) Is this advance? (to himself) Well..... it does seems to be a fabulous deal! Any way he wants it soon... So why worry about the quality ....? I will just make it gorgeous from outside .... ( takes a sip again and grins)

(aloud) Yes sir, this will do . And by the way, What's the complete payment ?

RICH CUSTOMER: How about 10 crores?

RAMU: (extremely taken aback) Yesss ! It's a deal! Your mansion will be ready in a month

RICH CUSTOMER: Thank you ... ( Bows and leaves)

3 weeks later .....

RAMU: (Reading the news paper)Oh no!!

PETER (Ramu's friend ): What's wrong ?

RAMU: There goes my 5 Crores ....😔

PETER : Why???

RAMU: Remember the rich customer who came to meet me 3 weeks before ?

PETER: Yeah....

RAMU: He died of an heart attack today morning..

PETER: What!!!!

RAMU: Yeah.... So now..... I think it was a waste of time to construct the mansion 😞

PETER : Hey don't say so..... Come on, Let's just sell it to someone in his office .... Supposing they are rich 🙃

RAMU: That's seems a good idea ... Let's do that!

So that is how , Koushik came across the mansion. So now :

Koushik and Vijaya holding Maya's hand stand at the entrance of their new mansion.

KOUSHIK: (anxious ) Vijaya? What's wrong ? You don't look alright ...

VIJAYA :( giving a fake smile) Nothing dear ! Just waiting for u to turn the key in the keyhole .

KOUSHIK: ( grinning ) Just a sec dear.

Just as he was turning the key, a large black cat jumps on him

MAYA: Papa!!! Are you alright??

KOUSHIK: Yes Baby! It's nothing 😉

( They turn the key and enter the house)....
