Part 3
Karan sped back home at speeds that were unknown to even him, he didn't care if he got a violation ticket or got pulled over...all he cared about at that time was to get home, find that map to Panchgani and start this new journey of his life. He had to meet Shilpa Anand, he had to find out who the girl with so much attitude was, the girl whose delicate voice had enchanted him in one sentence...he wasn't one to run after girls but there was always a first time for everything, and this was Karan's.
He screeched the breaks to a halt as he pulled into the driveway of The Grover Residence (his sweet hideaway also called home), he flew out of the car and up the stairs to the living room, he wanted to stop and catch his breath but something had him intrigued...he had to find that map, he put pressure on his mind to somehow remember where a map would be placed and that's when it hit him...he had never been to Panchgani before, this was his first trip there so the chances of finding a map were zero to none. Just as quickly as he had come home, Karan grabbed the car keys, his spare cell phone, and the car charger as he slid down the stair railing, almost injuring himself in the process. He got into the car and called his manager Shekhar to let him know what was running through Karan's mind. Shekhar picked up the phone as soon as he noticed the number on the screen and asked:
"Your not in trouble again, are you? Which police station and whats the bail amount? And is it your fault or not?"
Karan replied as unsarcastically as he could, "I'm not in trouble, no police station, no bail, no one's fault...find me a map of Panchgani and we're good, I'll be outside your place in 10" and with that Karan hung up on Shekhar leaving Shekhar scrambling to find a map of Panchgani. In the meantime Karan texted his assistant Tarun and publicist Neha with a message explaining that he was already on his way to Panchgani and would meet them there, they were in charge of bringing his remaining supplies and dropping off his dog (Breezer) at the kennel.
As he drove to Shekhar's location, his thoughts drifted away into matching a face with that delicate voice, he couldn't place a face with that voice and it was bothering him to an extent, he wanted to imagine what she looked like...he wanted to know what color her eyes were, how soft her skin was, what it felt like to hold hands with her, he had completely lost himself in those thoughts and didn't notice the fact that he now stood outside Shekhar's house...and Shekhar was standing right there with a map in hand and a GPS system.
Shilpa on the other hand was getting ready for the night as she played the next day in her head, Karan Singh Grover would arrive only to find out that his back-up music hadn't been arranged due to his assistant not picking up so after having to sing live at the performance...Karan would then have to deal with no transportation to the hotel, oh correction no hotel either, Shilpa had already called the hotel and cancelled the reservation for Karan's stay, she had an evil smile on her face as she thought of how interesting of a day it would be, the rockstar...tired from the day's functions and the performance would want to go and relax in his hotel room, which wouldn't exist due to his dis-respectfulness to her on the phone, her eyes gleamed with passion as she happily thought about her new evil side, she had never felt like this but she rather enjoyed it...this was her chance to return the favor to Mr. Karan Singh Grover and she planned to go the full way, he had hung up on her, but he didn't know what it would cost him...
Karan gave Shekhar a pat on the back, hooked up the gps, placed the map on the passenger seat and zoomed out of Shekhar's parking leaving behind skid marks on the polished gray concrete and a yelling Shekhar who complained of the skid marks but then noticed that Karan was already long gone...and returned home to get a peaceful night of rest, after all tomorrow was a new day.
Shilpa stepped into her room and looked out at the view once again before she changed into something more comfortable, she was still not ready for the lifestyle change for a day, she simply couldn't understand how anyone could put up with all of this but she didn't have the time or the mind to think about it, she slipped under the sheets and placed her head gently on the pillow, a soft smile could be seen creeping on her lips as she dozed off and dreamed of Karan's reaction the next day.
Oh boy...KSG is in for a surprise, possibly even an interesting journey, who knows where it'll take them. ;)
