MUMBAI,
Late night around 12:30am,
Getting down of his Audi, he straightened his causal wears. His eyes intriguingly looking at the tower in his front, he adjusted his glares. After pocketing his iPhone he moved inside of the tower slowly.
The night was slow and silent. Yet the moon in the sky was shining bright. One could clearly see the spots it has amidst the dancing black clouds. He pressed the button of '9th floor' and stood silently against the mirror behind him looking at the small screen above the elevator doors that screened the number of floors he crossed by.
The doors unlatched with a ding, he bit his lower lip exiting the same. His emotionless peepers gazed the door of the flat located in the corner, 'Flat no. 701' with a sigh. After a moment of blank thinking, he entered the code in his digital lock and got into his House yes!! HOUSE not home he was welcomed by silence he lazily dropped his files on the table and slumped in the couch sighing he was having a severe headache
Reason behind is him drowning himself in the pile of work work and work and continuous meetings to that extent that he even forgot to have a single meal throughout the day
He averted his gaze towards the kitchen food was neatly arranged on the dining table
He sighed and dragged himself towards table sat there all tired and served himself some food without even caring to reheat it
After having first morsel he made face why not food tasted nothing like home but hotel but what else can he expect when he asks a professional chef to cook for him he shoved away all the thoughts and had some food because today he needs to take his sleeping pill he is used to of all this loneliness after that incident but today for some reason he is feeling hollow
His family is in Delhi even he was there few years back but then something happened which made him to find solace in loneliness and he shifted here opening his own media house which is now the top media house in the whole nation
He is a fierce journalist who can go to any extent to get the news out he is tough he is mysterious he is intimidating he is passionate he s morally grey
He is everything a girl wants and has everything thing which a human being desires for except peace and love in his life which makes him weak but whonare we kidding he is a pro in masking his emotions and carrying that I don't give a flying fuck attitude
He rested his head on headboard with closed eyes but his eyes shot up suddenly remembering that today is his parents marriage anniversary
He immediately dialed his mother's number which she picked after three rinng but none said anything from other side he sighed and said
"SORRY maa I know this I not the first one to wish you guys actually aaj office me itna kaam tha ki kya batau and mai itna thak gaya but mai bhoolna nahi chahta infact dopahar tak yaad but pata nahi kya ho gaya hai mai buddha ho gaya hoon kya to chalo issi baat pe ab mujhe maaf kar do"
He said all this in one breath his mother
Shivani Kapoor chucked a bit and asked playfully "Ho gaya tera? Yaa ab apne news bulletin ki tarah 10 min me 10 khabar sunane wala hai?"
Hearing his mother he chuckled Yes he is very close to his mum and even after that incident this was only equation which never changed he actes like a baby in front of her he is just her abhi not Abhimaan kapoor
He said sorry na har saal sabse pehle wish karta hoon but iss saal reh gaya koi baat nahi I am ready to make up for it batao kya karna hai meri pyaari si maa ko khush karne ke liye
Shivani sighed and said hai to tujhse ek kaam but baad me bataungi abhi apne papa ko bhi wish kar de anniversary mere akele ki nahi hai and laughed a bit
She then handed over the phone Abhimaan's father
Mr. Raghavendra kapoor
" hello"
Abhimaan straightened himself and then a bit formalities entered through front door he wished him and few chats about his new business which he is starting side by side and also about other things like stocks and all after which they bidded each other bye
Shaivani took her phone from Raghavendra and asked Abhimaan
" sun tune mujhse poocha tha na kya kar sakta hai mere liye to 2 saal pehle kaha tha tune ki tu apne media house ki ek branch yahan bhi kholega ab to khul bhi gayi aa jaa na beta wapas bohot yaad aati hai teri 7 saal ho gaye uss sab ko tujhe yahan se gae hue itne saal me kabhi tujhse zidd nahi ki but ab nahi raha jata beta you are our only child how can you expect us to be ok with you being away"
Abhimaan choked a bit and said " Aap jaanti jo na wahan aana matlab sab wahan shift karna bohot kaam ho jaaega"
he tried to dodge the bullet
But Shivani sassyly said Mr. ABHIMAAN KAPOOR get your stubborn ass right here with in one week I don't know how but you are doing this. Period.
Abhimaan sighed he knew he can't win this time so he hummed
Shivani "Words" she was having a smile now but tried to act hard
Abhimaan" Ok maa I'll get my stubborn ass there with in a week" and chuckled at his mother's fake anger
Now that I am shifting I need to wrap some work in mumbai brach I'll be on it from tomorrow happy?
Shivani" very happy chal ab phone rakh aur so jaa good night"
Abhimaan "Ok Good night"
And then he hanged up and laid down thinking about how will he manage everything and amid his all chaotic thoughts sleep engulfed him.
