The Secrets of the Elements

Chapter 28: A New Beginning

"Okay," said Tej as he closed a file. "I'll talk to the clients," he assured, adjusting his tie.

"Excuse me, gentlemen. I'll see you in a bit," he said and left the conference room, heading towards the washroom.

He let out a sigh and looked at his reflection in the mirror.

White formal shirt, black trousers, black blazer, and a black-tie.

"You look dapper," said a voice which made Tej swivel.

"You? What are you doing here? Who's with dad?" he questioned.

"Relax, bro," said Ray and hugged Tej. Tej dropped his shoulders and closed his eyes, hugging his best friend.

"Advika's near uncle," he said. "Your aunt had called."

"And?" said Tej.

"She said she will come here and handle-"

"All bullshit," spat Tej. "She just wants dad's property."

"Forget all that," said Ray and removed a locket from his pocket. "Advika went to this temple on the outskirts of the city."

A shiny gold rudraksha dangled on the delicate silver chain.

Tej smiled and wore it around his neck.

"Ohhhhh," teased Ray and playfully punched Tej's arm. "You don't believe in such stuff, but now, as Advika has sent it."

Tej smiled. "Once everything is fine, I'll confess my love to her."

Rishi sat on his bed, staring into the sky.

"Rishi," said Rutuja as she entered his room. "Daksh and I are going for-"

Rishi wiped his tears and painted a smile on his face.

Rutuja sat at the foot of the bed. "Missing your parents?" she asked and kept her hand on his hand.

Rishi nodded his head. "I miss my parents too," said Rutuja and pursed her lips.

"Where are you both going?" asked Rishi.

"Just roaming, with Rio," she said. "You haven't met Rio, right? Rio, the horse."

"No, I'm good," he replied and shifted towards the other side of the bed.

"Rishi," said Rutuja and got to her feet. "Step out, you'll feel better."

"I'll come by myself if I feel like," said Rishi and hugged the pillow.

"Okay," said Rutuja and left him alone with his thoughts.
