Moira : Bound to happen! Chapter 12.







The intercom rang and Sameer switched on the speaker phone. "Sir another client is waiting outside. She doesn't have an appointment and I told her that it's lunch time now but she says it's urgent. Moreover she is an old lady, so, I couldn't ask her to go", the receptionist said.

"Okay fine, I will meet her", Sameer said.

"Sameer it's okay, let's have lunch together some other time. My lunchtime is getting over too so I need to rush back", Yuga said. 
"I will take a leave too. Now that you know my criteria, I hope we can move ahead on those lines ", Nirav said.

Nirav picked Navya up, Navya waved a goodbye to Sameer.
Yuga followed Nirav out.

They came out of the cabin and saw the elderly woman sitting in the lobby. She was the same old lady who they had met in the park.
"Finally I see you together. You've not only patched up but are also here to get a new house. Makes me happy!", the old woman said with a grin.

Sameer came out of the cabin hearing the old lady.

"Show them a beautiful house. They are such a beautiful couple they deserve one", the lady said to Sameer.

"Thankyou for the other day aunty. But sorry we are not a couple, you've mistaken", Yuga said, trying to clear the air, with a hesitant glimpse at Nirav. 
"Appreciate your concern. She is not my wife neither my girlfriend aunty. It's not what you think. I was just trying to help her the other day", Nirav glanced at Yuga and added, trying to make her feel more at ease.

"I am sorry to interfere again. I am an old lady, pardon my rusted brain. We just say what comes to our mind, not to leave any more regrets in life. But you do look good together ", she said as she walked towards the cabin.
"Mr. Agent, please help me out, I want to put up my place for sale", the lady said to Sameer. He was standing there feeling helpless. He had planned something different in his head but it turned out unlikely. He wanted to disconnect the bond but ended up being a catalyst. But ultimately, Yuga was his best friend and Sameer always wished the best for her.

Nirav along with Navya and Yuga left his office. 
"So you haven't had your lunch?", Nirav asked Yuga, as they reached the parking lot.
"No and I don't have time either", Yuga replied looking at her watch. 
Nirav looked at his watch too. The same watch that had shone brightly and attracted Yuga's attention, twice.
"It's Yash's watch", Yuga blurted aloud, astonished, after a close peek.

"Yash?Who?", Nirav asked, fidgeting with his watch, confused by Yuga's expressions.
Yuga took a deep breath and said, "Nirav I am sorry, I'm getting late, can we talk about this some other time?"
"Sure Yuga, I've a meeting too. Give me your phone then", Nirav said, unhesitant. 
Yuga looked at Nirav and handed over her mobile phone. Nirav typed in his number and called. 
"I've saved your number. You save mine too", he said and left with Navya to the parked car.
He didn't know that Yuga had already saved it in her head.

Navya turned back, kept smiling and waving at her from the car.
Yuga stood there holding the phone in one hand and the other hand mechanically waving in the air.

Diary 2024

  And 2024 ends..... What a roller coaster ride!  Every year passes by and the new year comes afore, leaving you with something and making you leave something.  It would be quite odd if time doesn't indoctrinate our minds. This year taught me so much, like the previous one and the prior ones too! I have learnt valuable lessons thanks to 2024. The year was challenging, demanding yet gratifying.  What I grasped this year would be exemplar for rest of my life!  The fear of losing your close ones, leaves you petrified. While the close ones are battling, struggling with all their mights, you feel helpless even when you have honest intentions of support. Mental support, yes that can be given in abundance, there's no ceiling to it. But the one you intend to support is going through so much that sometimes just being there, showing up is also helpful.  Sleepless nights, nightmares haunted me for days. But then when you see them valiantly striving and vanquishing the...

Moira : Bound to happen! Chapter - 1.

She was sitting on the bench under the huge tree. Its extensive branches covered few more benches around. The park was a hangout place for teenagers. It was a playground for children and a perfect site for the exercise enthusiasts. People jogged, wearing headphones, determined to shed those extra kilos and be fitter, sticking to their new year resolutions, was a familiar sight here.  Yuga wasn't feeling the vibe today. She had left home as usual, early in the morning, in her tracks and tee to run a few miles, but after three rounds she just sat down on the bench. She saw an old lady taking rounds, walking slowly, but with vigour. The tree was shedding it's aged golden leaves. One such tanned foliole fell beside Yuga on the bench. She picked it up and let it descend on the ground. She switched off the songs playing on her phone. With air pods in her ears, she sat inert on the bench. She closed her eyes and could hear the birds chirping. "They are so happy even at the break ...

What's your plan?

 "You've to score good grades at school!" "You've to do your Olympiads!" "You need to have a co-curricular activity or some sports activity!" "You should be able to dance or sing or play a musical instrument!" Oh my my! So much pressure on these little one's learning to adapt and traverse the lanes and by lanes of this complicated world. "But its a rat race! He/she needs to figure it out sooner. Studies, career, universities, the stress builds up as they advance into their grades (classes), isn't it?" Yes, true. It's a tough task for the coming generations. Population is ever increasing. Even though the colleges and courses are increasing in numbers but we have no say on the quality of education they impart. Also the leading universities and colleges are always the first priority, obviously. So the newbies are looked down upon. Also the reservations hinder the paths of many. Well, so what score is a good enough score...
