And in that same office, a confused dizzy. Sat on the hair nearby avoiding the previous chair like plague.
" What is it, boss? " She asks. And raghav composed himself.
" Oh! Yah dizzy, ahh! Do you believe in God?" He asked a question that was bugging him.
" It's not dizz- " She didn't finish her sentence and focused on the other part.
" No, I don't ." She said, and he looked at her.
" What if I told you that they are real, all of it. " He asked, looking at her.
" I'll say you aren't the first one to say that to me. I was on a flight from England to Mumbai when someone behind me started talking about God and his greatness. I think he was trying to make me change my religion or something. I wrote a column about it, that time. " She said to him. And he didn't say anything.
" Ok! Can you make me a coffee? " He asked her. And she nodded.
In the night time, Raghav was in his office alone, looking at the metal bracers and the book.
" Are you even real? " He asked no one.
" You are . But where. " He said go himself and then looked at his desk. And the mess he made. He was sitting there for quite some time now.
" You don't wanna know why she came here. " The old sage asked.
" Not really. You said they want to change the world, so what's better than changing it from where people can see. If I'm right they have their kaal all over the world and in every big and major company and politician party. They can't change someone's will, but they can manipulate them. For example, tell a person one time that 2+2 is five, he'll call you full, tell him ten times by ten different people, he'll start doubting it. Tell that same thing hundred times by hundreds of different people he'll believe it. Now tell him that same line one thousand times he'll start denying the right answer, and even go against it. That's how most things happen: drugs , cigarette crime and terrorist attacks are just the by-products of that. And in this world people want to get manipulated. They are all sheeps. In my opinion. Following things blindly. I even doubt your goals in this old man. I know nothing about you, you can be one of those kaal as well, or you can be a person who wants to use me for your goals. And I'm sixty forty about you, odds aren't in your favour. " He said simply, leaning on his chair.
" If you don't trust me then why did you tell me all this? " The sage asked inside his mind.
" You are able to talk to me by telepathy, you can transport me anywhere, and you have a terrifying house. I know if I run, I'll be dead in a moment. So I didn't. I'm waiting to see if my suspicions are right or wrong. " He said looking at nowhere particular.
" You are an interesting person , are you sure you didn't read the bhagvat puran or anything? raghav. " He said to himself. And asked the last question.
" No! " He replied.
" So is there anything that I can do while still sittin here to mediate or that balance. " He asked making hand gestures for balance.
" You can listen to the bhagwat puran, they have that in English, japanese, indonesian, Russian and many more. "
" Bhagvat, what's that? " He asked.
" You new gen. That is a book that'll give you peace . And if you want knowledge, read bhagavad gita. " I'm sending you a copy to listen to. And he got that immediately.
He looked at it.
" You send me a Spotify playlist. " He said to him.
" You didn't know you can bhagvat gita there."
And he opened the folder and saw a single file with ten long hours.
" Did you send me entire series ?"
" Knowledge is endless. And that isn't that long, maybe I sent you the loop version. Just start listing, it'll help. I will send the rest later.. " And he played that with a sigh. And drank it.
Next morning dizzy came to the office, very early, only the cleaning staff was there. Some of them greeted her. And she greeted them back. And she went to the coffee machine and made one for her. She out some stuff on his table which was little of put. He looked at the pile of the papers in the desk and sighs.
She went to the the coffee machine and looked for the coffee mug, and found none.
" Where are the mugs ? " She asked the person working there. And he told her that he hadn't seen them yet. And he offered her some help, but she denied that . And looking at her situation, she grabbed the whole coffee mug, and started drinking from it.
" I'll wash it later. " She said, taking a sip. And grabbed some papers, and walked toward his boss's office.
He opened the door, and turned on the light.
" Can you give me that coffee. " And she almost screams after hearing that sudden voice.
" Boss, you heard this early. ? " She asked. And he ignored her.
" Can you pass me the coffee mug. " And she immediately gave him that, and he took a sheep directly. She tried to stop him, but stopped herself. And he noticed that.
" Why are you acting so stiff? Don't tell me you drank it before? " He asked and he immediately denied that, and asked.
" Sir you are early here, not an offence sir just curious. " She said to him showing her hand in surender fashion.
" Oh! I just got some old books of my father.x he said showing him a book.
" Didn't know that you are an old litrecher. '' She said with genuine surprise.
" Yeh, I don't, but an old friend told me to read some of them. And once I started, I couldn't stop. "
" So you read that book in one night. "
" Yes! And those also. " He said , showing a pile of books. And Dizzy looked at the piles of books.
" Why didn't they teach this in school, this is ten times better than twinkle twinkle ."
" Guess they didn't want us to remember. " He murmured to himself.
" Shall I take them? " She asked .
" No! I'm gonna read them a few more times. But you can take my trash away. " He kept looking at the book.
" And please check for any slip ups. " He said, flipping a page. And she picks the dustbin, and leaves the office.
Soon people started to come into the office. And then jiya came, with her dress style changed a bit, she was now more like Maya. She has changed a bit. And no one noticed it that much, except for her sister.
" Where were you last night, you didn't come home. And what's with this new dress and hairstyle. And Jiya looked at her sister.
" I was with my friends, we partied a little drunk and talked a lot. " Said jiya stretching a bit…
And her sister ignored her. And when Jiya saw Dizzy going inside with a packet of breakfast in her hand didn't come back . Her mind starts to work anti clockwise. And Jiya heard her sister saying that today's half day, and mom wants to go to the temple because today is some sort of festival or puja or something like that.
While doing his breakfast, which was a classic English meal with mango juice. Raghav asked Dizzy who was accompanying him in eating. She was in front of him eating the same meal.
" Hey dizzy, can I ask you something? " And she looked at him and nodded, casus she was eating, and then after swallowing said yes.
" Do you like this job? " And the first thing that came to his mind was ' no'. But she sat that part aside and said yes.
" She is lying. " Said the old man in his head.
" But I've been to several jobs before , and you are the only one who treated me equally. " She taught that part, and the old man told him what she was thinking.
