Opti.......Where is the update???

That night Prachi packed her clothes in her bag expecting to leave for Mumbai the next day. She asked Milind who had just come out of the shower what time was their flight and whether they can drop in on Amrita Aunty before they returned to Mumbai. Milind then revealed the surprise honeymoon he had planned for her. They will visit Amrita Aunty the following morning and go around Bangalore in the afternoon. The following day they will leave for Mysore and Madikkeri. They will return to Bangalore after three days and take the night flight back to Mumbai. He told her that he had packed her clothes for the four days in his bag since he wanted to surprise her. Hearing this Prachi excitedly hugged and kissed him.

"Mama, this is Prachi. Remember my friend from college? She has come to our house in Mumbai?"

Amrita gave her a faint smile but it was clear she still could not place her.

Ayesha explained to her that Milind and Prachi are married and have come to Bangalore on an official/personal visit.

Lying on the bed, Ayesha closed her eyes wearily. Why did all the unexpected things have to happen on the same day? First shock that she got that day was when she realised who her new boss is. The name of the company should have rung a bell in her mind but somehow she did not make the association. From his expression it was clear he did not recollect who she was. He seemed to have changed a lot. His face was drawn, his lustreless eyes sunken and rimmed with dark circles which indicated he had not slept well for days, maybe even weeks. His shoulders were stooped. He sported a stubble which did not really suit him and he did not seem to care much about his appearance going by the creased suit he wore. He was a far cry from the smartly dressed person she had briefly seen all those months back. What was responsible for this transformation she wondered. They did not interact much as he had to leave for another meeting that day. She briefed him about the functioning of the unit and appraised him of the problems they were facing on the labour front. The trade union was strong and was creating problems about the long shifts the workers were subjected to in the recent months. He wanted her to give him a detailed report about the number of days when the late shifts were operational and reasons for the same. He also asked her to arrange a meeting with the trade union leader the following day. She had to sit late to complete the report and was wondering how the man is going to face the hard-nosed trade union leader the next day. As though the problems at work were not enough, she was made aware of her mother's strange behaviour at the gardens that afternoon. If it was indeed her father she had seen, her mother is not going to rest in peace till she is taken to him. Whatever progress was achieved in the last ten months would go down the drain. She just hoped that her mother would forget that day's encounter but she was not sure. Still troubled by all these thoughts, she slipped into a restless sleep.

Could Ayesha's boss by any chance be Neeve - only thinking this because Ayesha said he was sporting a stubble that didn't suit him - that reminds me of Neeve from Kayamath. So Ayesha's dad might come into the picture as well? Amrita seems to be a pleasant character, hope she does get better and not more ill as Ayesha fears. I like the way you're bringing in the happenings of the lives of your other characters - like Amrita, Ayesha and her interesting boss. Thanks for the update.
