THE BRIGHTEST STAR IN THE SKY

9.

Manav picked up the call. It was from Ryan (his dad's manager).

Ryan: Manav, chairman(Manav's father) is not feeling well. If you are available please come back home to see him. Okay, bye.

Manav's dad was sitting on the chair and was listening them talking.

Ryan: He aid he will come back for dinner tonight.

Manav's Dad: Good! What a child he is, I even have to fake being sick to see him.

Manav reaches outside the house. Comes out of his car and runs inside the house.

Ryan: Chairman, I am leavinghouse for duty now.

Manav enters the house. It was still day time and he said he will come for dinner.

Ryan: Manav, you are here so quickly.

Manav: How are you?

MD: Didn't expect you would come back so quickly. I am fine.

Manav: You asked Ryan to call me and come back home, right?

His dad filled his glass with drink. Manav snatched it from him.

Manav: Don't drink too much. You're not young anymore. Can you please cherish your own health?

MD(taking the glass from him) : Don't you know that my health has always been relied on these drinks? If you really care about me you should visit me more often. Sit down have conversation. Even have some drinks. That's all I asked for.

Manav: I have a lot of work everyday. But I still can come back home to see you. But drinking is not for me.

MD: I know you have been in the showbiz for more than half a year. And got for yourself some achievements. When I do business with other people, they all say I have a celebrity son. It's not bad. With reputation, things will be easier when you take over my business.

Manav was happy but again he got annoyed.

Manav: Ok!!! Let's change the topic.

MD: No, we are going to talk about this today. You have to take over my business to become the next chairman. And you will get used to it easily. Son, power is very important to a man.

Manav: I am going to be honest with you. Power and money are all nothing to me. I just want to be a singer. Writing songs and singing happily everyday. It feels good.

MD: A man should have a farsighted view. You just can't depend on your life singing and dancing daily. You should look further and ahead and expand your ambition. Then the whole world will be your stage.

Manav: Whenever I come home you treat me like a staff of your Leysen Company. And hold a meeting with me. There are many roads in this world. You will be on your way and I will be on mine. Why do you keep pulling me in your way?

MD: How dare you say I don't support you? Do you forget it all? You said you wanted to study business at a college in America. I helped you. But what did you end up doing there? You joined a band of Americans to sing hip hop. So where is the diploma of the business college? We will never have it. And you used all the tuition fees. But what did you spend it on? Racing car. You were literally playing with your life. You must remember that your life was given by me.

Manav(annoyed) : Of course, it's you I owe my life to. I am still in one piece now, right? Speaking of the past why didn't you just let me study in the music school then?

MD: It's because I overspoiled you. So you went to be a singer. If I knew,it would be like this. I would smash your music dream even before it could grow.

Manav: No father, why are you so one track minded? There are so many things waiting for you. All of them depend on you. Why do you keep minding my business? Can't you just let me pursue my dream?

MD: Do you even know what your real dream is?

Manav (shouting): How come I don't know what my real dream is? Music is my real dream. I want everyone in this world to listen my music. It might take a long time but as long as I persist. I believe i will make it one day. Understand, father?

MD: Have fun for a few months. Return to the Company after the Spring festival, alright? To take over me and learn to be the chairman of the Leysen Company.

Manav(very much annoyed): I have told you enough times that I don't want to be the Chairman of the company. You call me back just to listen your lecture, right?

MD(shouting): Everyone in the Company worships me!

Ryan comes back.

Manav(shouting back): I can worship you too but I just hope you can support me too. Respect my choice! I said I will never give up on things I want to do.

MD: You have no choice today. I don't allow you to have choice.

Manav(shouting louder): I don't care if other people don't support me. But you are my father. Yet, you don't support me .

Manav stands up.

Manav: You....you have high blood pressure. I don't want to make you angry.

Saying this he picks up his cars keys and leaves.

MD: How dare you just leave like that? You know I have high blood pressure. (His blood pressure got high because he was shouting but he was okay)

Ryan: Chairman please calm down. I can see Manav is living a good life right now. Just give him freedom for some more time. He is your son. He will surely come back one day.

OK so that's it for this chapter. I know this chapter is boring. I will try to make the next one interesting. Please tell me in the comments if you are liking the story or not. Will post the next chapter within few hours. Stay tuned.
