” No ,never. This is not possible, not even my dream also. U can’t do this to me. After all u r my mother’s friend. U know everything,still how could u??”, said Arjun with annoyance by pressing his anger inside.
” what is there to be impossible? And this things are decided by university committee,not by me. Btw what wrong with u ,u never disobeyed anything.”, said professor Ryan Strauss with equal intonation.
” that is because u never put such absurd conditions. There are many heritage places in world. Then why u choose me to go india for research. Especially when you know I hate India and Indians “, said Arjun trying to control his rage.
Now professor Strauss also got annoyed. He said,” control ur mouth Arjun. After all u r a descendant of Indian origin. And this decision is final. If u’ll not do ur final research according to university norms , u will be disqualified. I can’t help you even “.
Arjun was trying to not react but hearing his name ” ARJUN” , he couldn’t control himself and said,” professor will U please stop addressing me with that name. call me as albert which was given by my mother”. He left the place ferociously. His tensions got increased. As Arjun left ,professor Strauss called Mr Anuj Mehera , father of Arjun and told him about Arjun’s historical n cultural research in India. Mr Mehera was so much happy,” thanks Mr Strauss for such favour. I just want my son to visit India at least for once. His hatred towards Indians can only change if he will visit there once. His hatred towards me will come to halt after his visit to India”.
Mr Strauss amazed seeing Anuj’s love for India. He said,” how can you be so sure that Arjun will change after visit India??”.
Anuj smiled when replied,” that is my motherland and i know its selfless hospitality. I knew its love which has power to change demon into angel. So Arjun will change, my heart says. I believe he will change.”
After some random conversation they both hung up.

Arjun thoughts because of his father’s first love,an Indian lady ; his parents got divorced when he was 10 and he became lonely. After some days of divorce his mother took him with her and married some other man for his shake. But; as Arjun felt miserable he left his mother when he was 12 and started living by himself. He declined anuj’s request to stay with him. Anuj still today missed his motherland and his love. That’s why Arjun hates Indians more than India. he even hate his Indian name given by his father.
