Chandavarkars
requested Rohini to be their guest and offered some tea and snacks.
That was the very first meeting between the two immediate neighbors
after so many months of staying in that tower. Rohini entered their
kitchen to see the gas cooker, of which, Lily had mentioned. “What
was wrong with the cooker?” Rohini enquired. Oh, the flame was not
coming properly and there was a lot of smoke your Mahendra made it OK
replied Chandavarkar. Then smilingly Lily requested Rohini that both
of them please come over to our house for a simple diner some day.
Rohini liked the mannerisms of both the ladies and realized that
actually there is nothing to worry about from these ladies. Rohini
returned to her flat much relieved and in her own perfect mood. Now
she was again smiling to herself and cursing herself for worrying
about the whole matter. “Have I become possessive about Mahendra?”
she enquired to her mind. What is happening to me?
That evening she
had decided to broach the topic of Mr. Velkar. When she entered her
flat and went to the living room she saw Mahendra sitting on the box
bed waiting for her. She kept watching him for a while. She was
wondering whether she should open the topic of Mr. Velkar right now
or not. After a while she decided to wait for some time or may be,
spontaneously she may open the topic unexpectedly, she did not know
what way the topic of this Mr. Velkar to be put before him. Rohini
sat near Mahendra on the box bed on right hand side of Mahendra.
Mahendra was unmoved by that. He was sitting as if meditating on
something. Rohini went in her own thoughts. The thoughts took her in
her past life.
Rohini Laxman
Ramadasi, daughter of a schoolteacher somewhere in a remote village
in the Vidarbh region in the sate of Maharashtra. The only girl child
of her parents was looked after by them with great care. She has a
brother only a few years younger to her. Rohini was a very talented
child from her student days and with the encouragement given by her
father decided to become somebody in the life. After completing her
primary education she was sent to Nagpur for higher education and
then there was no looking back for Rohini. Graduation in arts and
then management, Rohini was now well equipped to fly. She got a job
in the company, Zenith International Limited. That was her very first
job. With all the success she acquired in her career she new that she
has yet to score more to be the right person in the company.
Now, Rohini looked
to Mahendra again and thought to herself, this is the man who shall
take me to that height. Rohini by intuition touched right arm of
Mahendra. Settling her head on his thick muscular arm she rested for
some time. Mahendra looked to her and whispered, “what is the
matter? Are you alright?” but he did not bother to remove her grip
on his arm. Both were sitting in that posture for some good time.
Rohini wanted to gain some strength so that she can ask him some
questions. She looked to Mahendra and finally opened the topic.
“Can I ask you
some very private questions?” she
“What is it
about?” Mahendra
‘I want to know
about your past. I am staying with you and I know practically nothing
about you, that some times disturbs me.” She said
