The Last Goodbye

Chapter 18

On 18th of february the Adventure event for Milange had begun. It was one of the best windows of opportunity to market their event. Madhav and his team were rather successful in getting a good deal from one of the virtual gaming zones that was situated in lower parel. The deal was simple, the owner will provide his premises his equipment to conduct the event and around 120 members of the committee will be allowed to play the various games, and while they are at it they will have to take videos and post it on their social media and promote the paying zone or the company.

The first day of the event was quite eventful. Divya had wanted to bail out of this and stay far away from Madhav as much as permissible, but Madhav had other plans.

"I want you to be there with me, Aman and Rishi are fine but I think you will manage it much better, I am already a short tempered person and so are Aman and Rishi, us together here won't be good. We need someone who can balance us out." He had explained

With no stronger grounds to argue on, Divya had given him a tight lipped smile, and nodded her head. She knew that he knew that she wasn't really into coming for this event... although she was glad that the reason was nowhere near his knowledge. "Alright then I will ask Aman to take over the social event and I will come with you."

When they had reached the premises, Madhav and Divya had distributed their work according to their conveniences, where Divya worked on the slots Madhav checked out who had uploaded the things and who hadn't. At times the two would fill in for each other helping each other in cases of confusions. There were times when Madhav had legit lost his patience, and surprisingly, Divya at that time had walked up to him , ignoring the chill that she felt as she looked at his blazing face, and snatch the paper from him and had asked him to go and take some air while she sorted that issue. she had that day realized that Madhav, when angry, was really scary, but then she realized she should have got an idea about it long back during the spotlight event itself.

On the second day it was their turn to play the games, the whole group was there and the ruckus that they had caused was surely minimal but the third day was something she could have never forgotten. She and her sister along with Madhav were going to the venue, for some reason Madhav wasn't doing well, after a long conversation with his parents, Madhav had hung up the call and had called out to Divya who was walking towards the BTM garden. Divya sauntered towards him quite confused as to what he was doing in casual clothes when they were supposed to be wearing their committee t-shirts.

"look what I got today!" Madhav had literally exclaimed, and opened his bag and fetched out a momento from his bag and handed it to Divya.

"Ohh this is beautiful." Divya beamed at him.

"I know right, earlier sir was planning to give just the certificates I said we still have some money left from the budget, give momento to the student it will make yet another benchmark."

"that's right... this is really amazing congratulations." The two hugged each other and soon made their way to the station while making a stop at a few medical stores in search of medicines.

The three of them were standing on the bridge of the railway station when Madhav saw a train lining up on the platform. He quickly asked if they wanted to go in it or should they go in the next one. At first Divya was reluctant to go, but then soon changed her mind and said let's go. The three of them took off running as if their life depended on it. Madhav had an earlier start than Divya and her sister whereas the two were running behind him, but the moment they saw Madhav running Divya couldn't help but fall into a fit of laughter.

Mdhav running was no less than a duck or a hen running on a plain road or ground, his feet would take him all over the place, or maybe it was way funnier than that, whatever it was Divya couldn't explain it in right words but it was hilarious. As they descended the stairs, she couldn't wipe out the image of him running, for a short while she stood right on one of the stairs and continued to laugh, but at that very moment Madhav looked back and called out to her,
