The Roamer coninued..

He wakes up the next morning and feels completely refreshed. Obliviously contemplating at his image in the mirror and recalls stills from his childhood. He had successfully erased the past from his childhood but now he finds history repeating himself. As he thought of his mother whom he always found crying in lonliness. He never understood why his father has to leave the family behind.

Now when he is through with all the hardships and have established himself as a well known entrepreneur, owns chain of restaurants in Goa, Mumbai and Chennai. He has never looked back since then and now when he feels restless in having accomplished all that he ever dreamt.

7:00 am

He finally comes out of the delusional stare he has been giving to himself and finalizes brushing his teeth, rinses mouth and comes back to his bedroom having changed into his track suit. He picks up the glass of orange juice and descends down the stairs of his penthouse and moves out for jogging.

He wakes up fresh and having completely forgotten all that had happened last night which made him sweat like a pig. It was normal for him to have kept his darkest secrets within him for so long but now his intellect was challenged, someone knew about the devil in him despite the fact that he practised his passion with discipline and precise stealth. He noticed the people around and realized that he got a few stares from the passing by. It was not new for him to receive stares for he knows he has been in limelight for many notorious reasons. He is a party animal and he never seemed to have entertained any annoying hosts or guests so always been in news for one reason or another. He is not a fashion icon but flamboyance fetched him quite a fan following in the teenage group. But this time the stares made him a bit uneasy, felt like he is been ripped naked. He couldn't stand the pressure no more so he thought of calling it off and headed straight back to his penthouse.



9:00 AM

Exits.

Prabhanjan- It's not the missing part I am calling you for. Someone tells me that he/she knows about us and also about that Malaga trip.
Rushi- What!!
Rushi- Who is he? Do you blabber it to your mates? I swear you are going to be in big trouble if you make a gossip of me...! (the voice gets firm but emotionally hurt)
Prabhanjan- I never speak of it to any one. I don't know who is he and what does he want?
Prabhanjan- I'll call you later.. Adios!
Rushi- Hmmm you better be true or you are a dead man..

[Prabhanjan disconnects the phone and realizes that he is sweating profusely and his hands are shaking. He knew what he had been doing was wrong but he cant delete his past. A moment of intimacy with Rushi now costs him his peace of mind.]

[Prabhanjan thinks of calling this anonymous one- presses the green button on his incoming message
and the phone gets connected.]
(Bell rings..)
[The call is disconnected on the other side... and then there is an incoming message from that very person.]

Anonymous- Don't worry! your secret is well kept within me.. We'll talk soon.

[Prabhanjan reads the time 1:00 am. He is late. Goes off to sleep]
