The Memory Ocean-Chapter Four

CHAPTER FOUR

The world was like a hell of a place for Akshay.He had never imagined that his father could leave him & his family that easily to go into another distinct world.But, everything had happened at a rapid pace.Before Akshay could realise, His Dad had Gone.
Akshay had dreamt of doing his Future studies.His Father had said once, "Akshay,i could not study whatever i wanted to.I wasnt interested in studies.Thats a different thing.But, i want u to study as much as possible.You are already in Good ranks in ur schools & college till now.So, i will help u aspire whatever future studies you are thinking to do." On Hearing that, Akshay had dreamt of doing the Chartered Accountancy.
But, now that dream had to remain a dream forever. His Life had taken a U-turn frm which he could only go & work for his family and nothing else.Even though his dad was earning very low, they were happy with watever they got.But, now, there was no happiness, no earnings.It was simply tough going for his family.
His Mom asked him."what are we going to do"Akshay replied."Mom, u need not worry at all.Our dad is a clever fellow.He made u give birth to two male kids who can always help you out and make progress in life's difficult path.Had i got a younger sister or Nakul got a elder sister,I am not sure, wat are we going to do now to make them settle.But, now everything is easy, it seems.I will get into a job as soon as i finish my degree."
"Akshay,i am really sad that ur not going to be doing ur C.A"
"Mom... thats not a problem.I trust God.I take life as it comes.Let's see wat'll happen in the near future.Hope for the very best".
Akshay could not think anything other than his family now.He was in his Final year of college.Yet, he already started thinking about his moves towards the next year.He determined himself to come out of college with flying colors so that it would be easy for him into getting any kinda job.
During the whole final year of college, he did not wish to see Sandhya as before.He thought that his very thought about sandhya would make his going tough with regard to serving his family.Yet, he still liked her.His friends used to tease him using her name.He never took that wrong.. Because, he thought it was not wrong.
The exchange of looks & rare talks between Akshay & Sandhya went on & on & on.At times, they shared the emails.The contents were very very general.He made sure that she did not mistake his behaviour.After sometime, She became busy with her studies.So was Akshay.So, he could not allocate time for the internet.The mailings stopped.
He Concentrated very hard on his studies now.He did the exams well and was expecting the results.
After 2 months, the Results came.Results were like wat he had expected even before he appeared for the exams.This time Akshay really got the flying colors.Though, he came second best in his College.It was a real Missiion accomplished.
Even before he got his results, he appeared for an interview with Fashionplus Pvt.Ltd, a garments manufacturing company. The Finance Controller interviewed him and he got impressed with Akshay.He wanted to readily offer a job in the company to Akshay, but the CEO had informed the Finance Controller that all employees must hold atleast a degree. So, the Finance Controller informed Akshay that as soon as his results are out, he can join in anytime.
Now that he can take up the offer frm the Fashionplus Company, there were no words for Akshay's Happiness.
One fine Thursday morning, he joined the Fashionplus Garments company as an Accounts Assistant.He got the introduction of all the fellow employees and they wondered this small boy cud ever handle the pressure.They were all into their 30's and above.Akshay, as if knowing wat they had been thinking, thought, "he MUST handle the pressure to release the financial pressure out of his family".
Once again Spring started in Akshay's Family when he got his first month salary.He gave that to his mom & got his blessings.Mom prayed to god "let my son Have all the happiness in his life"
