Part 1Siddhant Bharatwaj...
Yes i am Siddhant Bharatwaj...
IT guy working in a leading company in Dallas...
I am the only son of Rajender Bharatwaj & Nirmala Bharatwaj...
And only Grandson of Nirmala Bharatwaj...
I love my grandmother a lot... and she loves me more than her own son...
Yes.. even in my childhood i remember to be more with my grandmother than my mother...
When i told her that i got job in US... she was not at all interested to let me go away...
And it was very difficult task for me to convince her and come for job itself...
I agree for whatever she tells me and moreover she wont ever requested anything to me till date that i need to deny...
But yes.. we meet with such strange request where my grandmother wanted me to marry..
While i was not interested to do that so soon...
Then what... marriage is a responsibility and i was not ready for that so soon..
I wish to enjoy my life as much as i can before getting married...
Once married also we can marriage.. but its different sort...
Wife, Children... Savings, Planning.. all these will come one by one which i dont want to get that early...
I denied her for first time that i am not ready to marry so soon and came to US...
Otherwise she might have got me married and sent me to US...
I prayed to God that he should not put me in another situation where i deny her wish...
I am now at home being weekend doing some household works...
That is when i even get time to remember my family members and do my works with all these thoughts...
In weekdays.. i will be into my job which is my first priority...
This is also such weekend only...
When i was all these thoughts of grandmother i suddenly got a call...
I swiftly attend the call seeing its from father... with all filled tensions...
Why tension now because its night time in India and call from them in this time is really strange...
'Pappa.. you are calling in this time.. what happened???" i enquired...
'Siddhant... Maaji is not well... can you please start immediately and come here.. she badly wish to see you...' my father replied...
I was ultimately in shock...
Why not... i was just remembering all about her and now she is not well...
I was really tensed...
"What happened Pappa.. what happened to her... tell me... ' i asked...
'She got chest pain and she wish to see you.. thats why.. come immediately Siddhant...' he insisted...
'Pappa.. i will come.. but please tell me there is nothing serious...' i wanted to clarify...
I was worried whether anything serious happened & they are calling me...
'I told right Siddhant... she got Chest pain.. Please come...' my father said and disconnected the line...
I just sat on the sofa speechless...
I prayed to God nothing should happen to her...
I immediately called my boss in Office...
'Sir.. i need to go to India urgently as my grandmother is not well... i want leave sir...' i requested for leave...
'Ok Siddhant.. take care... you never asked for any leave all these days & i can understand the critical...' he granted permission...
I disconnect the line and started packing the clothes...
I catch a taxi and rushed towards airport...
On the way itself i booked ticket of immediate flight...
I gave the flight details to my father too...
In few more minutes of drive... i reached the airport...
I took the boarding pass and completed the check in formalities...
When i sat in the chair after completing all these waiting for the call for my flight... i literally got tears on my eyes...
'Mataji... nothing should happen to you...' i prayed to God sincerely...
I hate this time which is moving very slow...
I wish i had wings to just fly to my home to see my grandmother...
After pushing the time very hard finally call was made for my flight...
I just rushed towards the bus which will take us to the flight...
I entered into the flight... checked for my seat and occupied the seat...
I am all filled with tension now...
I dont know how i am going to push the time till i reach home & see my grandmother...
I can feel the heart beat of mine to increased and it can be heard by me clearly...
I had some water to reduce my tension...
I lean on the seat and closed my eyes...
After a while...
'Excuse me...' i heard a sweet voice...
I opened my eyes and looked at the direction of voice...
The sweet voice belongs to a beautiful girl who was looking at me now with a smile...
I just lost for a moment forgetting all the tensions which was inside me all these time...
'Excuse me.. i need to get in...' she said...
That is when i understood she belongs to the corner seat next to me...
I got up and let her to get into the corner seat...
Then occupied mine again...
She sat on her seat with a smile looking at me...
I was looking at her without blinking my eyes without knowing what i am doing...
In a while... instruction was given to fasten the seat belt...
I came back to senses on that announcement...
Then fasten my seat belt while the flight take off to start its journey...
