"Ohh! Praise the Lords!! This is what I have been scared of, from so long. Thank you teacher for this relief! I can now die peacefully." Samantha folded her hands happily.
"I know what you are worried about. This boy has a fate and he has to follow it, no matter what. Even if he is blessed with everything, he has to pave his own path by hardwork and sacrifice. Also, it is similar with his personal life too. He will be gifted happiness by fate, but he will have to pave a path to achieve that happiness. Only time and patience will work for you boy. I think all your doubts are now clear Samantha!" The monk smiled now looking at the lady.
"Yes teacher!! Thank you so much! ait is all clear now!" The lady smiled greatfully.
Jacob was listening to the conversation of the two elders carefully, trying to comprehend its meaning. Oh! So Samantha aunty had a doubt about my future, that is why she brought me here! I see! He then looked at the monk and smiled. "Thank you so much teacher. It feels really good to hear all the soothing words about my future! I am feeling much more happy."
The old monk again placed his palm on Jacob"s head and patted it. "Just follow your instincts. It will guide you to happiness!"
"Yes! I promise teacher, I will follow the instincts!" Jacob smiled, folding his hands too, in reverance.
They both bowed before the monk and stood up, leaving the temple.
As they sat inside the car, Jacob turned to look at Samantha. "Aunty you had certain doubts about my future?"
"Ohh! Heh! Nothing like that dear. I just wanted to know, when you can have a happy family. I can see how lonely you are my boy. You need somebody in your life, to love you unconditionally." Samantha smiled patting the boy"s head lovingly.
Jacob smiled hearing the elderly lady"s words, and switched on the car ignition, driving back towards his house. "I will drop you to home, then I have to back for some work at the headquaters!"
"Alright!" Samantha smiled.
Samantha"s truthful words. .h.i.t the boy"s heart terribly. He was indeed a very lonely man. Probably the lonliest in the whole universe. He was then suddenly reminded of the radio interview, he had listened, on the way back to Isa"s house. He thought about having a kid through artifical insemination, but immediately dropped the idea.
He soon dropped Samantha to his house, and drove towards his office, switching on the radio news again.
