Chapter 42 - Chapter-42 'The Varun Arya'

At the evening, we met in a cafe near to my University.

"Am I late ?" I asked him.

"No, you are on time , please be seated". "sorry for the morning" I said softly.

"But why are you saying sorry ?"he asked surprisingly.

"Because , I disturbed your sleep in the morning"I said hesitantly.

"Its ok , leave it , can we order something?"

"No no I'm running late , I have to go" I spelled out.

"But if it's not that important we can have just a cup of tea or coffee mey be" he insisted.

"Ok" I agreed to him.

"So, are you a student in this University?which department are you from?" he asked curiously.

"First of all , I'm not a student " I remarked with a smile on my face.

"Oh sorry, are you a professor ? But you don't look like a professor"

"Excuse me, what do you mean?" I asked him giving back a strange look on my face.

"No no, don't take it negatively, I think, I couldn't explain myself well enough, I mean you look so beautiful like a little girl that I got confused " he clarified sweetly. "What do you do?"I asked quickly.

"Nothing" he replied.

"What do you mean by 'nothing'? you must be studying or working or doing something else" I responded swiftly.

"I'm a free bird who's desire is to fly high up in the sky" he flaunted but I didn't understood anything. I looked at him confusingly.

"In simple words, I have completed my MBA from a renowned University in abroad but now I want to travel the whole world to learn different tradition and cultures , want to enjoy celebrating different festivals all over the world , learn more languages , in short I want to be a traveller"he explained.

"So, how many languages can you speak now?" I asked curiously.

"six languages including English" he said. "When are you leaving then?" I questioned.

" Its not decided yet" he said it with a pity face.

"But ,Why?"I asked genuinely.

"Actually there is a twist in the story" he stated.

"what's that ?" I queried.

"Do you ever heard of Mr. Prakhas chandra Arya ?"

"Yes, the famous bussinessman , are you talking about that renowned business tycoon Mr. Prakhas chandra Arya ?" I asked quickly.

"Yes, I'm taking about him only , do you know who he is ? He's my dad" he answered.

"Really ?" I asked as I got shocked by his words.

"Yes , he's my dad" he replied softly.

"That means you are 'The Varun Arya' , son of Mr. Prakhas chandra Arya , Oh ok continue your story" I was damn surprised.

"I did MBA just because of my family not in their pressure exactly because I too loved studying business but I just don't want to be fix in a place or a position for lifetime. I want to travel the whole world but my family wants me to join our business.And now the scene is that no one understood my prospective and I too failed to convince them, and for them I'm just a useless kid now" he smiled after explaining everything but I could feel the pain behind his smile.

"I don't know what to say but I feel its not at all easy to kill your own happiness for your family , I have tried once " I remarked.

"Ok , leave it, say something about yourself and about your family, if you don't mind of course " he asked genuinely. "Nothing much interesting , I'm here working as an 'assistant professor' , I have a sweet family by the way but its sad that I'm away from them" I explained shortly.

"It seems that you didn't have any problem in your life but your words are so deep" he stated.

"How could you say that?"

"Its because , you said , you had tried to kill your happiness once for your family but you are smiling at the same time "he noted , "Can I know the reason behind that ?" he asked.

"That's a long story , we can continue it some other day, nice talking to you, I should leave now" I replied calmly with a smile on my face, but that one question reminded me of that every scar which Raj had given me.

"Sorry , if I have hurt you unknowingly " he elucidated softly.

"No no , I'm completely okay".

"You are not looking so, I can see the pain, you are hiding behind your smile, I shouldn't have asked you that question " he said gloomily , feeling guilty for his words.

I couldn't bear it anymore so I stood up and said "Bye" to him and started walking towards the frontdoor. I took a taxi and headed to my home without turning back for once.
