A HOME- COMING
Chapter 1: A message
Gauri was on the hands-off, barking instructions to someone on the other side of the line.
"I want orchids - black ones on all tables and proper silver-ware cutlery. The decoration should be impeccable, only white, black and gold. Did you get it? she took off the hands-off.
"M'am, this is the fitness column for this week someone interrupted her.
"What, don't push yourself? Pushing yourself is good change it she ordered the writer.
"Dr. Khanna, what is the agony column like this week? Gauri asked a lady sitting on the chair opposite her.
"M'am, I have made sure that the answers are ambitious and honest
"Good, now guys listen. I am getting married in three weeks and off on my honeymoon after that, so promise me to be at your best whilst I am away Gauri commanded.
"Yes m'am. A man saluted, thumping his feet.
"Rudra. You are relentless Gauri hit him with the magazine she was holding. Best behaviour, remember she warned him before exiting the room.
Rudra always managed to make her smile, no matter how sad she was. She had picked well, for an executive secretary, but then she was the best, she patted herself.
Gauri was smiling whilst walking back to her office, when her phone buzzed; she looked at the caller ID "KT.
She picked it up, "Hi honey. How was your meeting?
"Fine. How are you? I am just over to the TV studio, where are you? KT asked.
"Oops. I forgot, on my way, sorry Gauri rushed out but before she could make her way out Rudra stopped her.
"G. This just came for you pointing to a large box parcel. "May I open it.
"Of course Gauri smiled back.
Rudra opened the parcel to find an envelope inside which he handed over to Gauri without opening and kept looking for what was inside the box.
Gauri opened the letter and was shocked to see who it was from.
" My dear daughter...by the time you read this, I will be gone. I request you to come back home and spread my ashes in the sea, just like we talked about when you were a little girl...
Gauri had tears in her eyes, but more anger was evident on her face.
"Now, he is writing to me. Come back? Never Gauri screamed inside herself.
"Send the parcel back Gauri ordered Rudra and walked back into her office.
Rudra was shocked, he had never seen her so angry and disturbed in his three years as her EA.
GKS was the most successful editor-in-chief in Chicago when it came to lifestyle magazines. She was pretty, intelligent and a charmer. Everyone fell in love with her when they met her. And she had established herself from scratch, without any family support. Work was her religion and her life; she knew nothing else but to work. She had absorbed herself in her magazine, fighting something that was inside her. She did have the best education that USA could offer ,but she never forgot her first notebook that she started writing in, she still had it after all these years.
After all these years...
