All that and Luck!
The temperature was hovering around 22 degrees, it was just the perfect day actually one of the best days of his life, and he got the love of his life today. After months of wooing, she finally said yes. It was this time of the day when he wanted to relax from all his worries. He heard talks of his promotion to the level of senior manager (which he insisted to call as rumours), though he knew in his hearts, that he was destined for that promotion.
He felt a sense of satisfaction running through his veins as he felt the water moving across his body as he floated with his backside facing the floor and he shut his eyes trying to block away all the bad memories since this was his day and nothing could take it away from him.
As the evening turned into a silent night, he realised he was the only guy in the pool, a rarity considering the fact that it was a public club and very few people in Mumbai had a pleasure of swimming in a pool alone! It made Rajiv feel like a private pool, the feeling itself was rare since only uber-rich could afford a private pool in Mumbai.
As the clouds gathered it begin to drizzle, as first few raindrops made contact with his eyes. As if the rain gods were showering blessings on him. He decided to do few strokes here and there and admired the clarity of water; the club boys had done a good job today to keep the pool clean. The boys were chatting away among themselves, they knew Rajiv and that he was an expert swimmer and hence there was no reason to keep an eye on the pool.
Suddenly he noticed a wriggly black thing floating on the water and moving quickly towards him, but still he was too happy to worry about it. But he could not possibly ignore it for any longer. It moved fast and it moved towards him, giving him probably 6 seconds to react. As it got nearer and nearer, Rajiv was sure what it was, it was a snake! He knew he could swim well, out of instinct he started swimming in the other direction but out of fear he found himself swimming far slower than he would normally have. Even if he shouted for help, the boys were too far to reach out to him.
But the reptile was too quick for him; Rajiv simply stopped swimming and shut his eyes. The reptile as if sensing that there is a human ahead of him, decide to change its direction(considering stuff that humans have done to the other earthly creatures) and all Rajiv did was heave a sigh of relief- Was it a non-poisonous snake????
He was smart enough to not to stay in the pool further. But was it a sign of good things to come?
Ohh yea after all it was ‘ his’ day!
