Once upon a time
|
"No need to thank me. It was a pleasure to meet my young fan. And here's something for you." Nayantara said extending her hand towards Neeraj. In it there was an autographed photograph of the star.
"Thanks again, madam," Neeraj took the photograph and stood up.
Nayantara too got up and smiled regally. Just for a moment Neeraj could see the traces of old beauty and a glorious past on her face. For the first time after coming here he could feel the presence of a great star in front of him. He turned his back before the image was wiped out and moved towards the door.
The wall-like door closed softly behind him. Without waiting for the lift to arrive he took the stairs. Just when he reached the floor below, a door opened and a familiar face peeked out at him. "There you are."
Neeraj stood there without saying a word.
"Hey mister, now don't just stand there as if you have come from some other world. Remember, my name is Jalpa and it is my birthday today? Come in now, my mom has been waiting to see you since morning."
Neeraj allowed the young woman to take his hand and almost pull him inside the house. He still didn't say anything.
"When you got so late I wondered if you had lost your way and ended up in some stranger's house." Jalpa's words at long last brought a smile on Neeraj's lips. "Happy Birthday, sweetheart," he murmured and pushed away the thoughts of the woman staying upstairs.
