CHAPTER THREE :FLASHBACK STARTS
'Asad I want you to take admission in Harvard.' All four of them were present on the dining table when Rashid Ahmed Khan said that.
'Ok Dad.' He said as an obedient boy.
'After that you will study law from Harvard aswell.'
'Yes Dad' He said while his mother Dilshad was serving him food.
Ayaan was looking at his Bhaijaan. He loved him but for some reasons he didn't like his obedience. Ayaan was a year younger than him. They were both best friends in childhood but from last three to four years Ayaan was getting away from him. He was having his own friends. The reason was simple in Ayaan's terms. He didn't like the fact that his father was always paying attention to Asad and his career and moreover Asad always behaving like a obedient son.
Ayaan was looking at his father with hope that he will also say something about his career. Its not like his father didn't care about Ayaan. He had provided him everything he wants aswell. But for Rashid Ahmed Khan Asad's case was different. He was the older one so has to make him proud.
And at the same time Asad was thinking that Ayaan is so much lucky that he is not having any responsibility to fulfill anyone's dream. But that made Asad as an older brother happy as well that his brother can enjoy his life tension free. Its not like Asad was tensed that he can't fulfill his dad's dreams. He was intelligent but you can say more than intelligent. He always got highest marks in class and now he was planning to get admission in Harvard. He was son of Rashid Ahmed Khan who was having a high level post in World Bank that is the reason they were living in Washington.
Rashid has always planned that they will go back to Bhopal after retirement and will handle his father's business.
-----------------------------------
Asad got admission in Harvard University. He was really happy that day. After telling Rashid he went to Ayaan.
"Ayaan, you know what I got admission in Harvard.' He was really excited when he told him.
'Congrats.' Ayaan said without paying attention.
'Aren't you happy for me ? ' asked Asad.
'No, I really am' He said while getting up.
'Where are you going ?'
'I am going to Jimmy's place. Today is our football match.'
'Don't go. Lets celebrate.' Asad knew that he didn't like him getting admission in Harvard. But for Asad Ayaan was closest to him so he wanted to celebrate with him.
'Why ? What's so special ? Oh you got admission in Harvard. Thats good but sorry, for me thats not so important that I ahould leave my match BHAIJAAAN.' He said in a really bad tone. Whenever they were alone Ayaan used to talk to him like that. He left leaving behind Asad in a shocked position.
Ayaan was not happy with his admission. Now next year I have to try my best to get admission in Harvard to show everyone that I am also intelligent, he thought.
FLASHBACK ENDS
-----------------------------------
It was dark. Really very dark. He was shouting. He was crying but no one came for help. Someone was laughing on him and that is where he came out of this scary dream again. He was 30 years old and a compete good looking man. If anyone would look at him will never know that he was having depression, insomnia, he used to see scary dreams. He used to have migraine and pain in his shoulders due to these dreams. The pain in his shoulders and neck was increasing but he can't help it. He took painkillers after getting ready for his office.
'You should also go to Venice. Its a beautiful place you will like it.' Roberto was going to Venice with his family for a week.
'Yes I will try.' Said Asad while leaving his office. It was 5 o'clock he was still having pain in his shoulder and this pain was getting him more and more angry. He was going to sit in his car while rubbing his shoulders when she came out of her car.
'See , destiny is helping us again.' She said while smiling.
'Yes I think so.' He said pinching his nose, his signature move.
'Oh are you having headache, Mr Khan? Come I will drop you.' She said like she was his friend.
'No thank you.' He said while moving to his car.
'Oh come on Mr Khan. I told you I...' She was going to continue when he said.
''When I said no that means no. I am not interested in sitting or eating or talking with you. You are Roberto's friend so thats enough. Don't try to be friendly with me.' He said in a stern and a loud tone. She was shocked.
He has to reach home, have to pack his stuff. He is leaving for Naples in the morning for a meeting. He was back to his hotel room. He took his sleeping pills and came on his bed. He was sleepy now after two nights. It was feeling good. He thought he should take some rest and then start packing.
