3. A
Peek into Time
He
banged his laptop shut for the third time that night. Shyam Jha was irritated,
frustrated out of limits and he felt like banging his head. Next month he must
go see her. Khushi. There was no choice. What has to be done has to be done. He
was sitting in Starbucks since 5 in the evening and it is almost 8:30 now. His
focus kept shifting from work, but all his thoughts channeled on one girl.
He
was a renowned lawyer, owns the company Regal Renders Co. He married Khushi's
cousin, Payal Mishra, Khushi's cousin. Not a very happy man. He did bad deeds.
Deep down he knew that. He was supposed to marry Khushi. Fate
had another game in mind. So, he ended up marrying Payal, the heiress of
Mishras, a huge hotel dynasty in the US. If only, that ill-fated accident never
happened and Khushi's parents were not dead, she would have been his, or he
would have made her his. But now he is living, or acting to live as a nice
husband, or the stakes are too high.
New
York
After
almost 8 years, he was going to India. The last time he was there was when his
brother, Akash got married. After that, he never had a chance to visit India.
He had a successful company, AR, which undertook multiple projects. It was
widespread across the world. After Akash got married, Akash took over the
Canada projects. Now, because of some petty issue which his manager in India
couldn't deal, he had no other choice but to personally see what exactly the
problem is.
Arnav
Singh Raizada was not a person under whom problems would prevail. One of his
plants located in Coimbatore, stated a small issue two years back, but he
didn't anticipate that the issue would prolong so much. He gave one look at the
Sunset before he slid into his Audi and left to the airport. He didn't know
that this wasn't any business trip but a journey that would change his life,
forever.
Coonoor
Khushi
looked at the brewing tea, pissed at the untimely head ache that took her to a
land of turmoil. She hated headaches. She always had. She blamed the weather
more often and not her untimely sleep habits. That was simple enough to do so.
A sudden thud shook her. She turned off the stove and rushed outside to check
what went wrong. She sighed, "Unbelievable".
Looking
at the torn part of her outer ceiling that broke her tiny pot of Begonia that
was in full bloom. She had spoken to the owner, Swarna, an old lady who rented
her this place. She rented this place for three years now. Although economical,
this always had some or the other problem. She rushed to clear the mess
forgetting the headache. She practically had nothing to do right now. Her next
practice was not until 10 days. In a month, she has to go back to her 5th semester.
She was majoring in Mechanical Engineering from Clemson.
Her
mother and father were from Coimbatore, but her parents got married and moved
to the US to start a business, she was born there in the States. Her mother had
a thing for art. Every year, she recalled, during the winter break, her mother
brought her here, for the renowned theater that happened under Shashi Gupta.
With time, Khushi got so much connected to it, that it became a joyous
priority. Every year, she comes down and stays here for a month around the play
and then goes back to get lost in the busy life.
Coimbatore
Arnav
grunted in frustration. He had come all the way, traveling miles, and all he
hears is that a strike was going on in the city, and it was not possible for
any meeting that day. Bloody hell! He cursed. Now, he had to wait till Monday.
"Sir,
you can take the pleasure of staying in our resort," the panicking Ranjan
suggested, might calm the boss's nerves. He knew what pain it must be to be the
boss. He couldn't complain.
Arnav
sighed. His fingers pinching his temples, trying to relax. Well, he hadn't
taken any break for a while now. Well, he deserved a small break. Doesn't he?
The rest can wait. He finally nodded, agreeing.
After
almost two hours, he was driving the SUV, en-route, Coonoor. He rolled down the
windows, shrugged the jacket off, and drove across the nestled thick bushes and
happy estates, with the clouds waiting to witness another age-old Love
story.
The next part is coming soon! The meet!
