When I was speaking to Zene on the other day, this idea caught me like a bug. I could get relieved only after I finished writing this. This is the first instalment. Planning to update everyday. I have presumed Rachna is back to KT's office. Rest does not need explanation.
Part 1:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kabir is restless. The invitation passes for the prestigious fashion conference are lying on his drawer. But how to ask Rachna to join him? Conference is for three days. Considering travelling as well, the duration will be five days,.. well almost like a week. How can her family send her alone? She anyway knows the importance of the symposium. If she shows any willingness, I may take action; he felt. He didn't notice the coffee on the table getting cold. But his Dadi did.
Rachna's condition is no better. It has been her dream all the time. But one week away from home with a MAN? She recalled their earlier outing. She lost all the courage to ask her parents. May be they would oblige, if Kabir himself asks. But, would he?
Sangeeta is getting angry with Dolu while Gopal is trying to passifyher. "All he is doing in holidays is, sit in front of TV to watch cartoons", she complained.
"What else he can do? It is so hot outside to play. He is bored. Every year he used to visit your parent's home for holidays. But they have gone to Hrishikesh this time.You are just taking out your frustration because, you are not able to watch your favorite soap", Gopal joked.
"Is Rachna attending the conferenceby any chance?" Kabir's Dadi entered the Garg Nivas.
Looking at her, Rachna's eyes got brighter."Dadi aap?".
"What conference?", Shayl had a question mark.
"Mommy, actually woh...", Rachna tried to speak. But the words got swallowed even before they came out.
"Let me say. There is going to be an international fashion conference held at Mumbai in the coming week. But I don't know who is accompanying Kabir in that. Just enquired Rachna, whether it is her".
"Dadi, I would have loved to. But there are people senior than me in office. Also, I have to be away from home for a week. So I gave up that idea", Rachna was trying to read Shayl's face from the side.
"Away for a week? Alone?", spoke Dayal.
"That's it", thought Rachna. "I got my answer now, no need to ask any more".
"How is she alone? Main hoon na?", Dolu jumped in.
"Dolu, you?", Sangeeta's temper was raising. "Di, he is getting too much. He is getting into everyone's business".
"But Sangeeta, what's wrong with what he said?", Dadi came to Dolu's rescue.
"Dadi, aap bhi na. What will Dolu do there in that conference, which is meant for professionals?".
"Do you think, only professionals attend the party? What about their families? There will be their spouse and children. Dolu will definitely have some company".
"Ji Mummy. After all, some one had to take care of Rachna Di and I am a boy. So I can look after her", said Dolu confidently.
"Dolu ki bacche, you can't even eat your food properly. Are you claiming to look after me?", Rachna pretended to be angry with him. Dolu ran past her, she ran behind to catch him.
Dayal came towards Dadi, "Dadiji, just a request. If Kabir can take Rachna and Dolu with him for the conference, we would feel grateful. Our girl has always dreamt of this. Can I request Kabir for this?", he appealed humbly.
Dadi was just waiting to hear this. "Don't worry, I will talk to Kabir", she said.
"But this Dolu is quite a Shaitan", Sangeeta was still worried.
"Don't worry aunty, I will take care of him", Rachna was anxious. She was not ready to let this opportunity go at any cost.
"Just because you are insisting", Sangeeta agreed reluctantly.
Kabir received the call. "Dadi, where are you? I was searching for you".
"I am calling from Garg Nivas. Just wanted to say, please accommodate Rachna and Dolu also in your trip".
"What? Dadi?", Kabir was trying to control his voice which felt like screaming. Dadi had hung the phone, but had done with the deal.
