Journey of Post Scripts

The first time Preeti used a sticky note was because she had to leave for a wedding venue to calm the groom’s hyperactive mamaji complaining about the oiliness of the puris. She had tried calling KT, who was still not at the office (and it was 11 am) so she decided to use a sticky note and left. (She panicked because of the yelling mamaji, all right, give the poor soul a break!)

“KTji, I am at the wedding venue. I tried calling you, but you didn't receive the call, Please contact the decorators and reach there ASAP.

-Preeti”

“Pretiji, you could have just texted!”

“You receive hundreds of messages from your mother and all the ladies of Rajasthan, pretty sure you would have missed my text,” She said as she eyed angrily at the cook who was adding too much oil (again!)

“Hey, that’s not fair! I have pinned your chat, I know you call/text only when it's important,”

He showed her his Whatsapp, where her chat window was on the top (pinned) even though the last text from last night. She didn’t know why, but she felt really happy seeing this.

The second time she used a post it was because she was on a maun vrat for Juhi and KT hadn’t read the text. Had it been her way, she wouldn't have attended office, but it was wedding season, and they had too many clients for KT to handle.

“KTji, Juhi is in pain, I have to leave urgently. I am on a maun vrat for her and I am so sorry I can’t call you. I texted you but you didn't read the text. Please text me ASAP when you see this or my text.”

KT had visited Juhi in the hospital an hour later with a beautiful bouquet and some gifts for the baby (Did she tell you, Preeti was now a grandmother to a beautiful healthy baby girl, and she had kept the maun vrat for her daughter and grandchild. She was the happiest woman on the planet right now.)

“I hope you become an actor!” KT said, making Juhi laugh and Kusumji blush with happiness. And God knows, Preeti didn’t want that!

The first time KT used a sticky note was because Preeti was upset with him for being mere 2 hours late for the sangeet ceremony of their client. Hello, whoever may be the bridegroom, but KT was a yesteryear’s superstar, so he took his won sweet time to look good!

“Sorry Preetiji, I promise to try to be on time the next time!

-KT”

He had sent it through a waiter. Preeti read it, rolled her eyes and smiled. Bless her kind soul.

The second time KT used a post it was to simply tease her.

“Hello Preetiji, how are?

-KT”

“What do you mean 'how are?'” Isn’t it supposed to be 'how are you?'?"

KT rolled his eyes and told her that it was an iconic dialogue from the Khichdi series.

“I never watched TV,”

“That is why you are so boring.” 

That day, KT was with Preeti’s family, having a Khichi marathon, much to Preeti’s annoyance and Kusumji’s delight.

Another time Preeti used a sticky note was to apologize to KT for leaving for Jodhpur.

“I am so sorry KTji, I couldn’t face you while saying this, but I have to urgently leave for Jodhpur. Buamaa is sick and needs me. I’ll try to return soon, but please don’t be upset with me.

-Preeti”

KT couldn’t help but laugh. Her innocence was too much for this cruel world and he loved her for that. Wait! What! Did he say he loved her?

Another time KT used a sticky note was to propose to Preeti. They had been working for 4 years together now, KT realizing his feelings for over 3 years, but knew that she wasn’t ready for any relationship, and yet he couldn’t hide his feelings anymore, not after Preeti had tried to harm herself, no thanks to her useless son saying “No one loves you in this world!”

“I care for you Preetiji, I know we are just business partners, but I wish you would see how much everyone around you cares for you and you would stop hurting yourself. You should live for yourself and no one else.

-KT”

It wasn’t a proposal as such, but at least Preeti now knew his feelings. Not entirely, but it was good enough for him.

Preeti placed the Krishna idol that came with the note in her cabin temple and stuck the sticky note on notice board in her cabin, a gentle reminder for herself to never stop loving herself.

Sorry for Juhi's baby I just thought that they all deserve some happiness and just just because Preeti is a grandmommy, doesn't mean Keertan can't fall for her.
