Chapter 21: chapter 21

Vicky - Yes. Right. Aman, today you have to taste our life. I assure you will not regret your decision. Aman - No, I will not. Gagan - Aman, you are behaving very rudely. Aman - No, I am not behaving rudely. I am declining their offer as politely as possible. Gagan - But it’s looking rude. Aman - I can’t help it. Azeez - Okay, leave it. If you don’t want to try wine. It’s fine. But we can’t leave you empty handed with us. You have to take something. Aman - Can I ask for something of my choice? Azeez - Yeah, sure.Aman - Just bring me a glass of milk. It will do the job for me. Azeez laughed and said, “Okay, little baby.”All chortled. Gagan slowly and sneakily whispered into my ear, “Aman, you are looking stupid. Don’t behave like that. In such a luxurious house, on a special invitation, you asked for a glass of milk. Shame on you!”I laughed and said, “I am what I am. I can’t change myself. A luxurious house can’t change my personality. I have nothing to do with this house. This house is neither in my body nor in my mind. Moreover, this house is not even mine nor I want to purchase kind of it. The game is over.”Gagan - Huh! That’s why everyone calls you a stupid!Aman - Thanks for being expressive. But I know people can never understand me.Vicky - Okay, I am going to bring some milk. I think we don’t have milk in our house. Because we either go for wine or whisky. Hehe! All smiled and all were looking at him with awe. They were fully impressed by their lavish and filmy lifestyle. Sanya - Life should be like this! After about five minutes, Vicky came back with a glass of milk. I picked up the glass of milk. Vicky poured the wine into the lavish clear glasses and served everyone. Suddenly, Azeez shouted, “Rekha! Rekha!”We all wondered, “Who is Rekha here?”A middle aged woman appeared and said, “Yes, mam.”We thought, “Oh, she is their servant.”Azeez shouted angrily, “Can’t you clean the floor properly? Look at the right corner of the room. I can see a stain there!”I looked in the pointed direction of Azeez. I said to myself within my mind, “I can’t find any stain there. The tiles are shining like a mirror.”Rekha asked very calmly, “Where mam?”Azeez - Are you blind? Can’t you see there? You know very well how to ask for a salary! But don’t you know how to clean the floor? Rekha - I am very sorry, mam. I will clean it right now!Azeez - Clean it soon! I can’t bear the stain!Rekha - Okay, mam. She fetched a piece of rag and started cleaning the stain. I said to myself within my mind, “Oh that was such a small stain, a button size. I don’t even consider it a stain. It’s normal. I don’t know why she became hyper for a small coloured dot on a tile.”Azeez said to all of us, “It’s not easy to live in such a luxurious house. We have to take care of it a lot. We have to keep a sharp eye on everything.”Now, I could not stop myself. I said, “But that was just a normal coloured dot on a tile. It was not even visible to us until you told us.”Azeez - That’s the problem with you, Aman. You don’t know what cleanliness is. You should learn from here how to keep a house neat and clean. I laughed, “Haha! I don’t want to learn this type of cleanliness. It’s not cleanliness but madness!”Azeez said, disturbed, “Are you calling me mad?”Aman - No, I am not calling you mad. I said that I don’t want to learn this type of cleanliness. The definition of cleanliness is very different for me as compared to yours. Vicky giggled ridiculously, trying to show me that he is laughing normally, “By the way, what’s your definition of cleanliness?”Aman - Actually, it’s not the definition. I meant to say that the meaning of cleanliness for me is different as compared to normal people. Vicky - Okay, you tell us your meaning of cleanliness. Perhaps, we also learn something from you. Aman - We should clean our house. I agree with it. But we should clean only as much as is necessary. That’s all. I mean to say, as much as necessary for us to stay healthy. Actually, nowadays, over cleanliness has overtaken the brains of women and they are becoming mad after cleanliness. Gagan - Aman, what are you trying to say? Aman - Let me give one example. Azeez saw a very small stain on a tile. She felt hurt to see that. First, she made herself angry, then she shouted at Rekha. Now, it will take some time to become normal. Right? Neha - Hmm…Aman - When a person becomes angry, a negative kind of chemicals release in our body that hurt our body from inside, that slowly-slowly eats into the vitals of our body. I know a little anger causes only minimal harm but it causes harm. Little-little anger every day in one’s life may also cause a greater harm to him. It may lead to various kinds of bodily or even mental diseases. Vicky made a face as if he had got fed up with my lecture but he was still listening to me. Perhaps, he was taking me and my lecture a stupid one and enjoying my stupidity. I continued, “Now, I am not saying that one should not be angry. One should be angry only when the situation needs it. But it was just a minor stain, not even visible. And for that she became angry. She hurt herself and even Rekha. It all happened because of the concept of over cleanliness in her mind. That’s why I am against the concept of over-cleanliness.”Neha - Hmm… I guess I am getting your point. Aman - Thanks. (It will be so nice of you, if you leave at least a single word comment and please don't forget to follow me and become my superfan.
