Chapter 3: chapter 3

Aditya's POVI had a very hectic day today, early morning meetings in the office, Graduation day and then continuous meetings with clients.When I reached the office , it was half past seven.I heard a knock on my office door and saw  two men enter my office. A smile appeared on my lips when I saw them.They were my best friends Karan and Ronit.Karan manages his family business and Ronit wants to enjoy his life, so didn't join his company.He asked his father few years, but he has good investments which earns him good amount of money every month." Hey Aadi, stop working man, let's go out and chill", it was Ronit."Yes Aadi, we didn't go out these days,work will never end anyways, come ,just let's go out " ,it was Karan this time.I smiled and agreed with them as I too wanted to take some break.I had a room attached to my office which has a bed and wardrobe. I usually use it when I want to take a nap and to change my clothes when needed.I changed into a casual dress and went along with my friend to a pub that comes under my business.We were having a boy's talk and in between Ronit looked at a few girls in the distance and said " these girls come out   with  a rich boyfriend and   if she  is single ,she  searches for one to sleep with and make him her boyfriend, I hate these girls"."Don't say  that Roni, just because you had a bad experience with a girl, it doesn't mean all girls are the same", I replied.He got up from his seat, finished his wine in a gulp and said," I will prove it".He walked towards a two girls sitting in a distance and said something, the girl was in a shock and when second girl asked something , Ronit pointed me, I guessed this fellow has said something about me, and a first girl slapped him hard and went out of the room with tears in her eyes and the other girl followed.When Roni returned I asked him "what did you say to her?"He told me  the entire scene , I was angry and bursted on  him for his behaviour, and said," see I told you all girls are not the same, looks like that girl is hurt, and why did you take my name?""Because I thought you are quite famous and rich ,the girl will agree but to my surprise she slapped me" Roni replied."Idiot, you have hurt that girl by my name, Move, I will apologize to her", I moved Roni and walked outside searching for the girls.When I came out , from a distance I saw two girls leaving in a car. The girl looked hurt and I felt I saw her somewhere, but I couldn't recollect""I am sorry , you are hurt", I felt sorry for that girl in my heart.I wasn't in mood to continue the party ,called my friends out and went back home.I felt bad throughout my journey and yelled at Ronit. This is the first time I have hurt a girl directly or indirectly.***************Sanjana's POVOn the other end, when I reached home, my mom was waiting for me.Before going home ,I went to Nidhi's house to wash my face ,so that my mom doesn't know I am hurt and cried."You are back so early",she asked."I am tired mom, I want to go to sleep", I said.she smiled and nodded.I went to my room and cried my heart out. I don't know why I was crying. Is it because of what the person asked me for or because he referred to Aditya.I took a notepad, wrote " I hate you Aditya, I will never think about you, " 100 times, crushed the paper and flushed it.I decided from tomorrow I will start a new life by Searching for a job and will never think of him again.Next morning, when I woke up it was already 8:00AmAs it is Sunday , mom is at home.She didn't wake me up early as I had nothing to do.I opened my  room windows for  sunlight and inhaled some  fresh morning air.I decided to take a bath so  opened my wardrobe for my  clothes.I saw Aditya's photos all over, I slowly removed all of them ,held them in my hand, the recent was the one in which I was along with him on graduation day, I insisted Nidhi take print of it yesterday itself immediately after the event.My eyes were filled with tears, I wanted to throw them all in the  dustbin, when I heard my mom's voice, I quickly put them all in the diary,took out the clothesWiped my tears behind the door of the wardrobe , closed it and looked towards mom.She smiled at me and said," I just came to wake you up".She kissed me on my forehead and said," go dear, take a shower and come  for breakfast".I nodded my head hugged her for a while, smiled at her and said," will come in 10 min"She smiled and left.My mom's hug is the best medicine for me, I always feel better after hugging her.I sighed and went to take shower.Quickly, I had my breakfast and opened my laptop to apply for jobs .******Days passed me doing nothing other than eat  and sleep.Few days later, I received an email from Hooda group of industries.I have applied for a junior assistant job there. Interview was scheduled for tomorrow.I went to a temple today with my mom. I wanted to seek blessings from god as I have an interview tomorrow.When we were returning back, we heard a women voice from behind " Rekha "We turned around when we heard my mom's name.she came near mom  and  said " Rekha", is it really you??A wide smile appeared on my mom's lips.Mamta, how are you?? My mom replied.I too remember her , that's Mamta Aunty, my mom's best friend.Mamta Aunty hugged my mom and said," OMG Rekha ,I thought I will never meet you again"Both friends' eyes were wet as they were meeting after  years.Mamta Aunty looked at me, and said, "is this Sanjana?"I smiled and said "Yes aunty".She kissed me on my forehead and said, "you are as beautiful as your mom."Mom took Mamta aunty's hand  and said,' Mamta come home, it's nearby"aunty agreed and we came out of the temple, and saw a black Benz standing Infront of the temple.She signalled the driver pointing to me and  said " Madam, will tell you the address ,just come there to pick me up"I nodded and told him the address and he nodded his head.She walked along with us to our home.When we reached home , I went inside the kitchen to make coffee.I can hear mom's and Aunty's conversation."

My mom took a deep breath and said ," After Manoj's death, his brother took over the business but couldn't handle it and we went bankrupt.I had to sell all the properties to clear the debts and left the city.Manoj bought this house earlier  on Sanjana's name.I am  happy we atleast  have this roof on our heads now"..I have been working as a teacher in a nearby school and taking care of Sanjana all these years.My mom's eyes were filled with tears.Rekha , You and Manoj bro helped Vinod to start his business, you couple gave us financial and moral support when we were low., why didn't you contact us when all this happened? Why didn't you remember us at least, Hmmm?? there was a glint of anger and sadness in Mamta aunty's voice.I didn't want to trouble you Mamta, my mom replied.I came out  from the kitchen with coffee cups in my hand.They both stopped when they saw me."How are Vinod bro and Adi"? My mom asked.My heart skipped a beat when I heard his name She said," they are good and Adi is managing the company very well""That's good , I know he is a very good boy", my mother replied.I said to myself, Sanjana , remember what you decided in the morning.We chatted for longtime  and I  insisted on Mamta Aunty for lunch.After lunch, she left.
