It was raining heavily, it was already late, and by the time she would have missed her company bus which drove them from Madhapur to her home in Secunderabad. Today she was ok as her boss Sangeeta had told her that she would get her driver to drop her off. Finishing of the final details of the project, Prachi beamed with happiness, the project they were doing for Hyundai dealers was done. She just needed to check with the final stages of testing reports next week would not be so crucial and tire some. After having dropped of sangeeta first, prachi was already half asleep, as the car suddenly stopped.

It looks like its Milind luck or its just raining everywhere. He had come down to finalize a deal on his new pharmaceutical industry which he was setting up in Hyderabad. Swearing under his breath, he drove the car making way through the horrible traffic , he wondered why they had traffic lights when nobody followed it. His impatience was rising just as much as the water on the road due to rainfall. He had to go back to his hotel and finalize the deal call his lawyers and his partner in the new venture. His car stopped which he knew it would due to the water clogging, cursing his rotten luck, picking his water proof laptop bag (gifted to him by a friend) he walked towards the steeper raised side of the road looking for a public telephone booth. After walking for about 15 minutes he finds one.
Milind: aagee sharah hai, bearish roknay kaa naam nahi laythi, traffic karab hai, upar say dus dus meel chalo phone booth kay liye, aur yeah kya ab beejli ko bhi jaanaa tha.
Letting out a few more words of the ugly vocabulary, he tries to figure out the numbers, and waits for the other person to pick up. In the mean time, he looks around, the place looked very similar to the chawl he lived in Mumbai, it was not as big but the atmosphere was the same, there were ppl keeping vessels to fill water everywhere, mothers yelling for the kids to head back, while the kids did the teer maar dance in the middle of the road, smile crept brightening his face, as he remembered his childhood those fun filled days. Just then a really posh car comes and stops right near the kids. Milind braced himself for the guy to come out and abuse the kids verbally or even physically. Instead the figure that came out did not look like a man, but looked like a woman. In between the lighting all he could see was it was a lady, by the high heels was walking towards the kids, Wait a minute he thought, this is not right, she was not going to lecture the kids, she was taking her heels off, god she was going to join them. As she danced he was trying real hard to see her, there was something disturbingly familiar about her, so far all he could see was she was wearing a blue dress. Her body swayed gracefully as if she had let go of all her inhibitions and become a child herself.
Then struck a big lightening, making Milind speechless and shocked
Voice on the other side : Hello Milind , you there ? Hello
Voice : Milind yaar you there, array jaldi say kuch boldhay varna ayesha is eating my head off, could you plz answer it? How did it go? Hello
Milind : I am seeing her
Voice: ( talking in lower tone indicating that he was conversing with someone there ) : shutup ayesha I cannot hear, saw who Milind
Milind: Its her man
Voice( realizing its prachi): IN HYDERABAD, Where what when, common man fess up
Milind: oh Neev, she is more beautiful than ever, She is here neev she is, there is happiness bubbling in his voice
Milind stood there in trance drinking her beauty as he saw the car as it drove past the booth then the voice brought him back to this world
Voice : what are you doing talking to me man, go right now and follow her, before completing the sentence milind was already out
Milind goes behind the car as it moves slowly
