CHAPTER 3
ALL THE NAMES & PLACES ARE FICTITIOUS (if any resemblance to persons & places is purely coincidental). Any royal titles, MEDICAL PROCEDURES, MEDICAL TERMS, MILITARY PROCEDURES, MILITARY TERMS, RELIGIOUS TERMS, Punjabi terms, architectural terms, IT terms & programs, office hierachy, wedding rituals, etc. are from my imagination hence THEY ARE NOT TRUE. !!!!!
ALL THE PHOTOGRAPHS DOWNLOADED DO NOT BELONG TO ME BUT BELONG TO THE ORIGINAL UPLOADER. I HAVE JUST USED THEM AS THEY GO WITH MY STORY! !!!!!
A girl standing with her back towards the door. She is busy getting little girls ready for the Annual day performance. A 5yr old Nisha asked Anjali "Didi mai kaisi lag rahi hoon?"
Anjali answered her pulling & kissing her chubby cheeks "Bikul pari jaisi!"
"Anjali, Padmaja Ma'am tumke bula rahi hain!" a scared & flustered Radhika called.
A 18yr old girl with hip-length hair tied in a braid wearing a simple cotton saree turned. She is a natural beauty, possessing a milky white skin, hour-glass figure (with curves in right places), mrignayani(hazel coloured doe shaped eyes) & sweet smile on her pink luscious lips. "Kya hua? Kuch samasya (problem) hai?" ( What happened? Any problem?)
Radhika "Haan! Jaldi chalo!" (Yes. Hurry up!")
Anjali & Radhika enter Mrs. Padmaja Subramanium. "Ma'am you called?" Anjali asked.
Padmaja " Everyone please check all arrangements for the programme. Mrs. Chadda please check the auditorium especially where trustees & guests will be seated. Radhika please check if all participants are present & are ready. Anjali I need to talk to you urgently!" After everyone left, leaving Padmaja & Anjali alone.Padmaja "Anjali what I will tell you will shock you but I don't have any choice". Taking a deep breath Padmaja continued. "Yamini & Shefali have run away from Khurana Foundation. Hence, making us left with only 8 performances, 4 of which are songs. Thereby making the programme including intermission very short."
Anjali "I understand your problem Ma'am as last moment its difficult to introduce any other performance".
"There is however one solution" saying this Padmaja paused. “That is - you being the choreographer know all the steps & expressions, hence can easily take Yamini & Shefali's place on stage" There was pin-drop silence. As Anjali was frozen with this statement. Padmaja " I know you had put a condition of not performing on stage before you started teaching dance to children. Ordinarily, I wudn't have forced you but today's programme will have all trustees & important people. It is for respect of our Khurana Foundation."
Finally, Anjali broke her silence "Ma'am you are asking me choose between my parent's respect v/s Khurana Foundation’s respect".
"If not for Khurana Foundation & my sake, at least think about RAJMATA SAVITRI DEVI KHURANA's respect. Who gave you a part-time job in KC without even meeting you, just on the basis of your amateur architectural design of Khurana Foundation's playroom." Padmaja replied bluntly.
"Alright Ma'am but this is the first & last time I'll perform on stage!" Anjali replied & left the room.
Two souls unhappy & miserable under the same roof for breaking their promises.
"I'm sorry Anjali that I could not keep my promise to you"
" Maa-sa aur Pitaji hum mei kshama kijiyega ki hum aapki kasam todh rahe hain!" Her hazel eyes were shedding tears looking at the dusky sky. (Mom & dad sorry for breaking my promise to you.)
