Get back to your seats. They will be here any second. The voice, though a whisper was heard. Everybody rushed to their places from their usual places of gossip. As if on cue, the elevator dinged and though it was not a very loud noise, it carried to inside the hall because of the eerie silence.
Three men stepped out of it.
Arnav Singh Raizada aka ASR was the back bone of ARK fashions. His charming looks and no nonsense attitude had fans all over the world. For him, only two people mattered. His Ma and Di.
Arnav Singh Raizada already commanded respect. And it only doubled when Maan Khurana was with him. with his looks, attitude and personality, maan was considered an icon. Best buddies, partners and family, they were rarely seen apart. Arnavs only sister Anjali raizada was married to Dev Khurana, maans brother who was his only living relation.
Add stylish buddy Aman Mathur to the gang , ASRs former classmate and presently his right hand man and there you have the dream team of ARK fashions walking right into their den.
A few streets away,
Mrs. maan khurana checked her phone again. no message. before she could start worrying, the bleep sounded.
"my mishti stop worrying, coz i ve reached, i am safe and i promise to have food on time. now smile!"
Geet kissed the phone and after placing it on the bedstand, fell back onto the bed for some more sleep.
At the same time somewhere miles away from all the rush, in a very silent dreamlike environment, outside a very beautiful mansion, a proud father watched the three sisters who were happily hugging each other before leaving home.
Khushi, payal and pari stood before the idol with prayers in mind and fervently thanking DM for all the happiness she was showering them with and for all the happiness she had planned for them. Their thoughts moved away in a blink.
"Oh god please! I hope that Mrs. Parvati Segal is late today!, or better that she falls down somewhere and so has to take a break for a week. Goodness.. How can I even think that!? She is my teacher. Okay god make that Mr. Segal, he can fall. She would still take the break! oh come on.. he deserves it afterall he is cheating on his wife with that dirty chemistry teacher! one week..thats all i ask, that will give me time enough to finish this stupid Project!" pari finished her prayer and looked at her sisters.
"akashji has not called yet!, he should have reached delhi yesterday! Please keep him safe DM! you know my situation na. I have to talk to jeeji soon!"
"please keep dad safe. And my sisters too. And.. and papa too" khushi opened her eyes to find all of them watching her. "what?"
"jeeji, you've been praying for long!, what have you been demanding?!" pari asked mischeivously.
"for our jeeju of course!" payal teased and shashi watched the three leave smiling and mentally let out a prayer of his own.
