"My baby bro is a genius," she said. The small dairy was full of scribble her mind couldn"t understand. They were chemical equations and formulas.One thing caught her eyes was on every page was a symbol C. In her past life when the Company wasn"t doing well in later years, she found a book placed on her desk.
It was a different book. There was no name on it but it had the same letter C.
Ira had pa.s.sed that book to the Scientist who came with many useful chemical formulas.
Were those Ashay"s notes?
Her incapable, good for nothing brother? An unknown genius?
Did he let the book fall in her hands?
Why didn"t he ever reveal himself?
All the time she thought they all forced him to study chemistry. And he had not much interest in the subject. Past life he refused education as masters. Hence she never pressured him to study further.
Ira had planned to turn all management and handling of the Company to Ashay one by one. Even after living a lifetime, Ira didn"t consider finding out the real reason of Ashay"s disinterest.
It wasn"t mere laziness or incompetence?
An incapable and lazy person would come out with formulas?
Last life, Ashay disappointed both Ira and her Dad. Ashay would not arrive office on time. He would take unlimited holidays. He behaved again like his rebellious teenage years.The staff complained of his in diligence.
Ira thought that if she pressured him in a gentle way and taught Ashay step by step he would pick up basics just enough to hand in here. But his response was still not enough. Under her pressure, he tried to learn but lacked something. He made good presentations but couldn"t present them well.
During meetings, he seemed out of mind. only physically present but lost mentally. Though instead of being irritated, Ira, comforted him at those times and helped him work. He still lacked something!
Now she got the answer, "It was never his cup of tea."
She was wrong all along. Making a.s.sumptions on her own, Ira never asked him what he wanted. He wanted to be in the laboratory.
Maybe when they were discussing an unworthy science project, Ashay was thinking about a genius chemical process.
Even though Ira never liked chemistry, Chemistry was like magic to her. Mix two unusable products and boom you get an awesome one!
