Chapter-4
Altunia.The bad guy.The one who destroyed everything.The villain.'Tina's each and every word echoed in her mind continuously.She did not understand why those words made her so angry and restless.She did not know what to do.She was feeling extremely bad for shouting at Tina for a petty reason.Petty?No! It certainly wasn't a petty.Tina had spoken badly about Altunia.It was wrong.But,why was she thinking about Altunia all of a sudden.He,he was nothing more than a character.
Oh God!!! What is happening to me?Why?Why??',she thought to herself.
She went to the poolside and sat down there.She loved staring at the water.It always calmed her down.It was soothing.There was no one else there.She was alone.She missed her mom like hell.Her mom,even though was herself a puzzle,had a solution for each and every problem.She thought of calling her mother but then dropped the idea.It was a small thing.She could not possibly make an issue out of that.But,then,what should she do?
Really,Rashi Agarwal!!! You are brooding so much over a mere character??Get a life,girl.You are here on a vacation !! Focus on that!!',she said to herself.Then,she took a deep breath and closed her eyes.Then she saw them again.Those eyes.Those emerald eyes.It was only for a moment when they stared at her.But the moment she looked into those eyes,her anxiety,her restlessness vanished.When she opened her eyes,she felt relieved.She was grateful to those emerald eyes for relieving her of her burden.Emerald green.It was her favourite colour.It always emitted a positive aura and managed to purge all the neagativity out.
Green.Green symbolizes nature.Green carries the spirit of nature within itself.Nature is something which is completely genuine.There is nothing fake about nature.Nature does not know how to pretend.It often changes its forms.And it just unpredictable.Whenever she looked at those emerald eyes,she felt a sense of unpredictability in them.And she was someone who loved predictable things.Maybe her fondness for those emerald eyes with unpredictability was an exception.
Ari,I am telling you.Don't do this!! Yeh bohot mehenga padega',said Vicky nervously.
Really?Five star hotels mehenge hi hote hain.Just tell me one five star hotel in this world which is not expensive.',said Arihant.
I am not talking about the expenses.Of course ,it is going to be expensive!! But what will happen when we will be asked to pay?? I don't want to go to jail!!',said Vicky.
Great!! Its always good to try out something new.Five star hotel ka khana taste karne ke baad jail ka khana taste karenge.Sach mein,ek arsa hogaya jail ka khaana taste kiye huye.',said Arihant wistfully.
Are you out of your mind??Do whatever you want to do!! I am not going to eat a single morsel.',said Vicky.
Okay!! As you wish ,my dear friend.',said Arihant.
They sat down for lunch and Arihant ordered a delicious meal.Vicky was watching him with looking sad.
Come on,Vicky!! Order something for yourself.',said Arihant.
No!! I am not going to get into this mess.You handle this all by yourself',said Vicky.
Arihant simply grinned.He finished his lunch and decided to roam around the hotel.He was strolling merrily when he came to the poolside.
Hmmm,what can it be? Man ki marziyan,marziyon ka man kuch aisa hi hai ...Kuch aisa hi hai...,God,what can it possibly be??',he said to himself.
Ever since he learnt how to form words,he was trying to complete this sentence.But this seemed like an impossible task.Still,nothing is impossible for Arihant Saxena.He understood everything.Apart from one thing.Whenever he closed his eyes,he could feel that someone was looking right into them.He gazed back intently.He could not fathom the expression in that particular individual s face.Sometimes it was an expression of relief,sometimes anxiety,sometimes affection.Whenever sleep eluded him,he could hear someone laughing.That laughter was like a soothing lullaby.It was musical.Enchanting.Whenever he felt disheartened or demoralized,he visualized a warm and beautiful smile which radiated positivity.It was that smile which boosted his optimism and inspired him to solve not only his problems but the problems of others as well.His motivating force was an individual.He did not know how she looked like.He only saw her as an entity who was with him in his darkest nights as well as his brightest days.She was an embodiment of hope,light and love.If he could only find out who she was...
Then his gaze fell on someone sitting by the poolside.It was a girl.She seemed upset.He knew that he was no one to interfere in someone's personal matters but still he could sense it when someone needed help.And now,it looked like this girl needed his expert advice.He approached her from behind and spoke to her.
Ummm,excuse me,Ma'm.I think that we need to talk.'
The girl turned back and faced him.Then,the expression on both their faces was of shock.
YOU!!!!',screamed Rashi.
YOU!!!!',Arihant screamed back .
What.The.Hell.Are.You.Doing.Here????',said Rashi.
I am here to have lunch.Just like you,Ma'm!!',said Arihant with a mischievious grin.
Great!!! So,what would it be this time??Tea?Coffee?Juice?Wine??Champagne?Whisky??'
Thanks for offering all these things,Ma'm.But I would love to have my glass of coke.Its my favourite drink after all.',said Arihant.
Idiot!!! I meant that what would you like to spill on me this time.',said Rashi.
Really,Ma'm,you are the first person on this earth who loves to get things spilled on herself.',said Arihant.
Please!!! Not now!! I am not in a mood to argue with you.I was already upset and then you arrived as the cherry on the top of the cake.Please,abhi toh baksh do mujhe!!',said Rashi.
Fine.Ma'm,if that is what you want,then I will leave you alone.But before leaving,I want to say something.You are upset.99% of it is because you have hurt someone very close.And the remaining 1% of your frustration is because you are perplexed about something.You want to know the answer but it continues to avoid you.My advice to you is that just go and apologize sincerely to the person whom you have hurt.Angrezon ne jo paanch aksharon waala shabd banaya hai na,Sorry,woh bohot effective hai.I am sure that the person would forgive you.',said Arihant.
And what about the remaining 1%?',asked Rashi forgetting that she was mad at him.
That problem can only be solved by Time herself.You will find all your answers someday.You just have to be patient.This 1% is a problem that every human being has.We cannot find the solution ourselves.We have to wait.Sooner or later,everyone finds their desired answers.Even I am looking for some answers.One fine day,either I will find them or they will find me.And,mark my words,the same applicable to you too.',said Arihant.
Actually you are right.Thank you very much.',said Rashi and she smiled.
That very moment,Arihant felt a familiar feeling of warmth and comfort.He could not understand what it was.But her smile.It was magical and infectious.He felt as if he could cherish it forever.He quicky brushed these thoughts away.
You are welcome,Ma'm!! ,said Arihant and he walked away.
Rashi was feeling extremely light and happy.She was relieved.Maybe,this guy was not a moron,after all.
When Arihant re-entered the restaurant,a waiter came upto him.
Sir,here is your bill.',said the waiter.
Bill?Don't you know,I was invited by my friend.It is her treat.Look,there she is.The one at the poolside.',said Arihant
He looked over at Rashi and waved at her.Rashi saw him waving at her from a distance and she waved back at him with a smile on her face.
Okay,so he is Miss Agarwal's guest.The one Mr Patel had informed the staff about.',thought the waiter.
So,can I leave now?',asked Arihant.
Of course,sir.I hope that you had a good time here.',said the waiter.
Arihant and a confused Vicky were escorted outside.Vicky could not understand what was going on.They both entered the car and drove off.It was then that Vicky opened his mouth.
What?How?Why?',he kept on asking.
I told you my friend,you would not understand.What?Are you hungry now?',said Arihant.
How on earth did you manage to pay the bill????',asked Vicky.
With the fees that I got for counseling someone',replied Arihant with his usual grin.
But how...',Vicky began when Arihant interrupted him.
Leave this here for now,my friend.By the way,I really wish to go to Agra.I have booked the bus tickets.We are leaving tomorrow.No more discussions.',said Arihant.
Rashi happily walked back and met Tina and Nikhil.She hugged Tina and apologized to her.Tina readily forgave her.They bade goodbye to Nikhil who was leaving when Mr Patel came to them smiling.
Miss Agarwal,I had told you that your guest would be taken care off.I was true to my word.He enjoyed his lunch very much and was pleased with our hospitality.',said Mr Patel.
Which guest are you referring to Mr Patel?Nikhil is my guest and he is here.',said Rashi looking surprised.
Bbut then what about that guest?The one at the poolside?The one at whom you waved?He,he told us that you invited him.',said Mr Patel.
It took a few seconds for everything to sink in.When she finally realized,she was very,very furious.
He.Is.Dead.THAT MORON!!!!',she screamed.
Back at Ira aunty's house,the situation was very strange.
Look,Ronnie,I am really,really sorry.I did not know who you were.Please do not mind.',said Falguni.
Ronnie did not say anything.They were sitting with Ira aunty who could not understand anything.Ronnie continued staring at Falguni.He seemed lost.Suddenly,Ira aunty shook him.
Ronnie,my child,are you alright?',asked Ira aunty.
What?Oh,yes.I am very much alright.You,you do not have to be sorry.You did not do anything wrong.If,if I were in your place,I would have done the same thing.You,you did not make any mistake.',said Ronnie softly.
Thank you very much,Ronnie.I think I will go to my room now.Once again,I apologize.',said Falguni and she left.Ronnie continued to look in her direction.He seemed lost.
So,Ronnie beta,how are Trisha di and Jeejaji?Are they fine?',asked Ira aunty.
Trisha di?Jeejaji?Who?Who are they?',asked Ronnie in a dreamy voice.
Ronnie?Are you sure that you are fine?Wait,I will ask the butler to bring something for you.Lagta hai kuch zyada hi chot lag gayi hai tumhe.',said Ira aunty.
Chot toh lagi hai.Bohot gehri chot lagi hai.Par pata hai aunty,the strange thing is that I wish ki aisi chot baar baar lage mujhe.',said Ronnie and once again he was lost.
