CHAPTER 4

Present

 

 

Honk honk!! Honk honk hooonnnkkk!!!!!!

Rey was hanging onto his patience by a very thin thread. The traffic in Mumbai was really getting out of hand. He was stuck in the same spot for the last 10 minutes. And to add to his misery, he had skipped breakfast as he was running late. Empty stomach and a packed street, very bad combination complained Rey. Just to distract himself and make things more bearable, he turned on the radio and started tuning between the stations until he landed on a song he could bear. But his respite wasn't long, as the song faded to an end and the RJ's booming overenthusiastic voice began its torture on his poor ears.

 

          Apparently the show that was on was some sort of Horoscope, and just to make things interesting, horoscope of every zodiac sign was followed by a song. It was at the end of the song that Rey had tuned in. He groaned and was about to change the station when he heard his zodiac sign was up next. Never overtly superstitious or even religious and a staunch disbeliever of coincidences, Rey wasn't sure if he wanted to listen to some guru predicting his future. What does it matter? Waise bhi, they are never right he scoffed.

 

"You have had trying times in the past" Rey smiled derisively. yeah..like I'm the only one with problems and everyone else is living a fairytale." Your past has always been haunting you and you never really have been at peace." Rey sat up a little straighter at that. "But things are looking up in your favour as life is going to give you a second chance to undo all the wrongs of the past. You also might make a new friend"

What a load of crap! He thought angrily as he turned off the radio. If horoscopes started to turn true, then he would have to believe that the world ran solely on chances. Probably then hard work, talent and opportunities would have to hide in a corner and wait for chance to show some mercy on them. He couldn't believe he could be any more irritated than he already was.

 

Just then a car stopped right next to him. And it wasn't the make of the car, or the one who was driving it that caught his attention. It was the song that was literally bursting out of that tiny car.

 

Mitwa! Kahe dhadkanein tujhse kya

Mitwa! Ye khud se to na tu chupa

For a moment, the cars, the noises, the people surrounding him completely disappeared. Like they were pulled into a vortex leaving nothing but an eerie silence and numbness behind. All he could he feel was a rage so acute, so potent ; that he wanted to break every single person in front of him. All he could hear were the mindless allegations so carelessly thrown. All he could see the hurt and tears on a face that had known to always be happy. And Reyaansh Singhania had never been so out of control.

 

Precap- "Tu thik to hai na?"

"kyun? Mujhe kya hua hai?"

"Kuch toh baat hai, jab se dekh raha hoon,tu seedhe seedhe apni seat par bhi tik nahin pa raha hai. Sach sach bata, Sharon se.."

Uh uh.. tu gaadi chala na Rey, der ho rahi hai. We'll talk later"
