I reach the huge office. Uncle tells me to go into mum's cabin, i go in i see the bean bag on the corner with a small table. I used to sit here and colour, paint or read, when i used to come here with mum as a kid. I can remember my excited voice when mum finally agreed to place the bean bag in her office. "Mum ma please mum ma i don't like to sit on chair, you know that please get me a bean bag in that corner." I take deep breath and go to the bean bag and examine it. I am disturbed by a girl she says " ma'am Mr kulkarni and ms khan want to see you in the conference room. Kulkarni was my mother's maiden name. I follow the girl to the conference room.
Ameena and Anupam uncle both are buried behind a stack of files and papers. I knock, they peer at me and signal me to sit and wait for sometime. I sit and stare dejectedly and start day dreaming, i hear my name "Amulya are you listening?" i nod uncle sighs and says "here sign these" i take a pen to sign it "Amulya you have to read before signing." Ameena says, "I trust you two in any case it doesn't matter." i reply , she looks angry and questions "what do you mean?" i say " i am leaving the media house to the power of attorney to uncle and to look after finances you are always there." she says curtly "are you out of your mind?" i don't react why was she angry? Uncle excuses himself.
"Precious i am sorry but this doesn't make sense to me. you must not let go." i still don't say anything she says "listen, think about it and then decide." she gets up and storms out of the room. I can't think why would it be wrong then i leave the room as well and go back to mum's cabin, I see her photo on the table what a woman she was,,, i see one photo where me, mum, dad, uncle and Ameena are in it all of us look so happy in the picture....
I put the photo away, get up and roam around. i go to uncle's cabin and knock, he ushers me in i go sit in front of him, he smiles warmly and says " we didn't get a chance to speak. how are you? we were always so worried of you Amulya, especially your mother." i say " i am fine uncle, no one needs to worry about me, and there is nothing to speak." he says "Amulya i understand this is very difficult for you but that doesn't mean you should not give it a chance." I nod and leave without saying anything. he calls behind me "Amulya please come back i want to speak to you." I just say there is nothing to speak uncle i have decided what is good for me." i leave the office and take an auto to sankey tank.
