Golden Moments
Part 3: 4 Yrs later:
The only noise that could be heard was of the chirping of the birds and the wind welcoming another beautiful day at Amritsar. It was again a very busy day at Sharma Hotel. Everyone was busy arranging the new furnitures that replaced the old one for the arrival of a special guest that was going to arrive in an hour. A girl with dark brown long hairs with curls at the bottom were giving directions to a man who was slacking off while dusting the furnitures. "O God, charlie jaldi kaam khatam karo, uncle aate he honge" (oh god, charlie hurry and finish up the work, uncle must be arriving soon.) A dark brown eyes frowning at the servant and quickly opted to the other caterers for the other work. Charlie sighed as he picked up the dusting broom. "yeh shruti bhi na, humesha ese hi kaam karwaati hai jab sahab aate hai, aane do iski shikayat zaroor karoonga" (this girl, always bosing me around when the boss is about to arrive, let the boss arrive, I will complain) He looked frustrated at the brunette.
Heer was ordering everyone at the hotel and renovating the place as quickly as possible. Why do I have to tell everyone their job? Why cant anyone just use their brain and do what they are suppose to. In these past few years everyone took a liking to Heer, and so they were used to her telling them what to do and when to do it so it was understandable. Not that Heer minded so much since all these people reminded her of her family back in mumbai. Oh how she missed them so much but these staff members especially Charlie made this her home, her new home. But still that is no excuse for slackingoff, especially since Uncle really gave a very short notice for his visit.
**Flashback**
A day before
Heer was going through some files wih the manager of the hotel when the phone rang and she picked it up a bit frustrated at whoever was disturbing her meeting with her manager. The Assisstent told her that it was a very urgent call so she picked up saying "Hello, this is Shruti Sharma"
Caller: Hello shruti beta me tumhara uncle
at this shruti beemed, "o uncle aap itne dino ke baad phone kar rahe hai, aap theek to hai? waha sab theek to hai? aap zyaada stress to nahi le rahe? aap itne din tak call nahi kiye, me to bahut dar gai thi. Heer finished her sentence with a deep breath waiting for the answer
Caller: Heer beta me theek hoon, waise me tumhe zyaada baat nahi kar sakta, anyways I m On the airport and i will arrive by tommorow. I dont have time to explain, so I will come and tell you, gotta go buy.
Before Heer could question any farther, the tone indicating that the line was disconnected rang in her ears.
**Flashback ends**
A smile formed on her beautiful features making it look more elegant. Heer could still remember the first time she came to amritsar. She didn't know what to do. She was very confused and scared. She knew the Apartment she was going to stay at since the arrangement were already made from when she was in Mumbai.
**Flashback**
Heer was scared to see the amritsar station so crowded, so lively of the people but none that she knew of. She walked out of the station to get an auto rickshaw or some taxi to her new home. As soon as she came out, she was horrified, the streets were empty and there were several taxis along the side. There were scary looking men staring at her non stop. She avoided there piercing gaze, as she approched an Honest looking old man with a daughter of her age who looked quite friendly. She was about to say something when she saw the scary looking guys approching her. She was scared and was about to run away when the girl grabbed her hand, "dont worry, Taxi me bhet gao, inko Prem dekh lega." Heer froze at the name. Say what? What is Prem doing here. Nobody knows I m here then..........unless raamu kaka told them. "Ab dekh kya rahi ho, jaldi bheto". She sat in the car as the old man started driving and simply asked, "waise jaana kaha hai madam". Heer came out of her trance, "oh right, yeh raha pata" She handed him the address that she took on a piece of paper. "Arre yeh to 10 min ki doori par hai, zyaada der nahi lagegi". the old man said happily. She nodded as she saw the girl moved her hand and held it in front of her, "waise mera naam Mukti hai, aur yeh mere paapa Hasmukh hai, aur wo jo waha fight kar raha hai wo mera fiance, Prem". Heer nodded and smiled in understanding and also in relief that there was no Prem, Her Prem. "aur me hoon shruti, me abhi abhi Mumbai se yaha nai (new) zindagi start karne aai hoon." Mukti chuckled at her comment, "kamal hai, people actually go to Mumbai to start a new life but you actually left Mumbai and came here to start a new life, or so I heard" Heer flushed a little, her cheeks turning a color of light pink, "oh yuh, well not everything is what it seems" she decided to keep quite after that. She arrived at her destination so the driver said, "aa gaya apka apartment" and snapped her out of her thoughts. "ye lijiye" she gave them the money and her final good byes.
She didnt meet them after that. She started working at this famous hotel as a caterer in Malhotra Hotel. She got the job since she was experienced in prems Hotel which was a very famous hotel. Later she got promoted as a manager. So one day she went to her boss who was a really old but nice man, she called Mr. Malhotra. She went to give him a file related to work. She went there but there was no one there so she decided to leave the file on his desk since she was in a hurry. The golden chain that her Mom gave her fell on the floor and she didnt notice. she searched it every where but she couldnt find it so she only prayed that its safe where ever it is.
The next day her boss called her saying it was an emergency, she was scared that she did the wrong filing or something but she still went. There he was standing with her pendant in his hand. She moved forward, "Sir that pendant, where did u find it, its mine I have been worried sick . I thought i lost it" Her boss was shocked, "R u really the daughter of Balraj Mann" that question stilled Heer. "R u really Heer but you said that your name is Shruti and even in your resume...." He trailed off. She lowered her gaze guiltly, "Yes I m but i decided to change my name and live a new life due to some events......................but wait a min. How do you know my dad??" She was really confused. For some reason where ever she went someone knew her dad or someone she knows or has the same name as the person she knows. "o me tumhari mama ka moon bola bhai tha" Heer was shocked, the Uncle she was searching for was all along in front of her veru eyes and she didnt know, "OHH MY GOD, YOU ARE THAT MALHOTRA UNCLE". From that day on he considered her his own daughter and she told him everything that happened with her and her sister. Later He renamed the Hotel Sharma Hotel and he gifted it to Heer on her birthday so she couldnt refuse. After that, she was Shruti Sharma for every one but Heer for her Uncle.
**Flashbck Ends**
Heer smiled at the thought, but a sudden screech in the hotel garage confirmed that her uncle had arrived.
