Part- 4
As the Sunday went by Ria and her mother settled up the whole house...
Ria got up late as she was tired due to yesterday's work. She came to the kitchen and was setting up some things when she found her mother's note stuck to the fridge...it had a list of things to be brought from the market...Ria thought this to be a good opportunity to venture the city so she called her Mum and informed her that she is going to the market by noon.
After which she headed towards her room
---------
In noon
Shaan was returning from his office as he didn't have much to do on his first day and also his Dad wanted him to come back early…on his way he got his Dad's call....
Dad: I have organized a small dinner tonight.........so I require you to help me up........
Shaan: (he was sad to hear about dinner as he knew his Dad wanted him to interact with all the people from his office and some regular important clients)........yes Dad surely........what can I do for you??
Dad: you need to go to the market........and.......pick up a package I have ordered for.........since the servants are busy and my car is gone to garage.........so it's only you who could bring it up............it's on your way..........okay then....... (His Dad signed off with a smirk…since he left no good opportunity to let Shaan visit public places)
Shaan: okay Dad....
-----------
At the supermarket
Ria: eggs.....pulses........sugar........milk.........butter..........cereal.......I guess everything's done…FINALLY!!!... Thank god …it took me two hours to find all this
Let me call Mumma for confirmation....
Ria calls up
Mum: yes dear!!!
Ria: Mumma I came to supermarket to fetch the things you wrote on that note....do you want anything else??
Mum: no my dear.........nothing else and thanks for helping me out.......love you sweety!!
Ria: love you too Mumma.......bye!
Ria: yuppie! Finally done…
Ria walks up to the counter and gives her trolley for evaluation and waits for her packages...
minutes later she collects her packages and heads towards the exit.......on the other hand Shaan is entering while talking to someone on his phone through the door..........but he is in a bit hurry to reach home as it was already late for dinner.......
and on his way he accidentally hits Ria and she falls down
Ria: ouch!!........can't you see!!
Shaan : oh I'm so sorry.....I didn't mean to hurt you......(he said this in a hurry, busy with his call..........he didn't even look at her while she is amused to see him.....he hurriedly heads towards the counter to collect his packages......)
Ria gets up and fetches her things up and heads towards her car.....
---------------
At dinner... (Shaan's house)
Dad: welcome! Good evening! (to the arriving guests)
Shaan hears his Dad welcoming all the guests downstairs.....while he is as usual is sitting alone near his window!!!
Few minutes later
He hears a knock at his door...
Servant: sir aapke Dad aapko neeche bula rahe hain!!!!
Shaan: thinking (ahhh..... not again..........) tell him I m asleep!!!................
he closes the door and goes to his bed..........
he fetches the nearby frame which had his and his mother's picture..........puts it near his heart and closes his eyes...........
On the other hand Ria and her mother are washing dishes after dinner and Ria is still thinking about the same boy she smashed into at the supermarket..........
Ria: Mum this place is strange why we moved here.............
Mum: look who's complaining... I thought you were excited to move here…and don't talk like kids dear you know I got a transfer..... and for the place don't worry you will like it here!!!....slowly and slowly....give it sometime...
Ria: I guess you are right.......I think I made my view pretty fast.........I'm tired.............
Mum: it's expected you settled up the whole house.......and didn't even let me help you............chalo go up and have a sound sleep!!!.....good night!!!
Ria: sweet dreams..........
Ria heads upstairs.............reaches her bed takes her favorite teddy and goes to sleep...............
