i decided to do it now...
Part 1
A big house with a large driveway…expensive cars are standing outside, each with its own driver…through the doors there's a great hallway decorated with famous paintings, exquisite furniture and the most beautiful carpet…a sound of bells are coming from a room to the left…the room is a small mandir with a large murti of bappa…the holy geeta, and an assortment of prayer items…in the middle is a lady in a white sari doing arti and muttering prayers…
A young girl takes of her shoes and walks in…she does a quick prayer and hugs the lady…
" Good morning mamma"
The lady turns round, it's suhas…
She smiles and touches her youngest daughters face…Rano,
Suhas: have you taken your medicine?
Rano rolls her eyes…
Rano: mamma…I'm fine…I don't need medicine…
Suhas gives her a stern look…
Rano: Di forced me to have it before she left…
Suhas: I knew I could count on her…where is she anyway?
Rano: mamma! Where else will di be? Obviously at the office…
*Flash*
Someone in a black business suit is walking…she has a hair in a bun and is wearing heels…everyone gets up and greets her as she walks past…
"Good morning ma'am"
"Ma'am can you sign this please"
"Ma'am can you check this please"
"Ma'am Mr. Oberoi called for the third time…when is the best time to arrange a meeting with him"
She answers, signs and walks into a large cabin…she sits down, takes a folder and swivels her chair to face the other way while studying the information…
Someone knocks on her door…
"Come in"
A young man walks in wearing jeans and a t-shirt…
Without turning round she looks at her watch and replies…
"You're late"
He sighs and runs his hand through his hair…
"I'm sorry Disha"
Disha turns round and gives him a glare…
D: I hate latecomers Gautham
Yup…Gautham's her best friend and he's helped her through handling her dad's business 'Diamonds Forever'
G: don't I know it…
D: so why come late?
He gave a cheeky grin…
G: cause I love it when you ask me that question and raise you eyebrows…
Disha sighed…
G: hey…it wasn't my fault!…she kept me up all night…
Disha gave him a disgusted look…
D: Gautham!
G: whoa…relax Dish…we were only talking on the phone…
Disha rolled her eyes…
D: ok…tell me…how much work have you done?…or were you to busy with your Preity…
G: uh…it's Priya…
D: wasn't it Preity last week?
G: yeh…but what happened there was…
D: you know what…I really don't want to know…have you got everything ready?
G: yeh…the power of attorney's ready, you just have to sign it…and Mehta called and said that 'Diamond Forever' is set up and they've employed everyone…
D: that's good…
She got up and walked over to the large window behind her and surveyed everyone in the office doing their work…
Gautham came over and stood near her…
G: why?
D: Gautham…you know it was dad's dream to have this company in India…
G: but even aunty doesn't want to go…
D: give mamma a few days and she'll settle down…after all its her home country…
G: but…but you've never been to India before…after getting out of America…how will you adjust?
Disha turned round and smiled at him…
D: I know you'll miss me…but I have to go…I have to full fill my dad's dream…
They both hugged…
D: I'm trusting you Gautham…take care of dad's company here…
G: I will…and when I get married to Mona you'll be the first person I call…
Disha unhugged…
D: what happened to Priya?
G: she's yesterday…
Disha sighed and walked out…
D: you're never gonna learn…
sorry if it was boring...
