On the way...

Happy news

We were offered fried green tomatoes as a starter and enchiladas with slices of deep dish pizza. Just after the heavy lunch, we all were back at work. 

I walked to the library to keep up a conversation with Grandma and there she was in a rustic world of books. Thousands of thick books were arranged in the immensely built in, floor to ceiling book shelf. There was a lantern hanged near to the wooden table and a single lamp held in the wall, that lightened the whole library. Grandma was sitting on the parked wooden chair of the table. She was reading a book with a change in her look. She was wearing specs.

I went to her, "Mmhm..."(cleared my throat)
And grandma said, "Yes!", without moving her eyes from the book.
I stood next to the table and read the book's title, that was kept on the table, with a uncapped pen near to it.
Grandma paused and looked at me, "Oh, was that you Ishi! What makes you come here? Where are your friends?"
I asked, "Books are you friend, huh granma?"
She smiled, nodding.
I replied, "I simply came to see if there are books that I could borrow."
Grandma went on, "That's wonderful! Of course, there are books from all genres."
I asked knowing the sure answer, "Can I borrow the one on the table?"
Grandma replied as expected, "No! No dear! That's not a reading book. I am writing it."
I exclaimed, "Woah! That's great! Tell me the story."

Grandma sighed, "I really like writing and reading books. So I just am writing all this. Never mind! You need some books, right? Come!"
Grandma stood from the chair, bookmarked her page and made me walk with her towards the shelf.
"Which would you prefer?", asked grandma.
I replied, "Something filmy!"
"That's a great choice" said grandma.
I grabbed a book, and sat on the wooden table while grandma sat back on the chair.
I asked, "So tell! Grandma about your books?"
Grandma said, "I write with happily ever afters... That's the way."
I replied, "Couldn't you write historical legacies... Quest for such things?"
Grandma said, "I have written... I love writing them. I like mysteries about historical things."
I nodded.

"Grandma," I called out, "So I will join later!"

Grandma sat back to continue reading and I kept the book I took from the shelf. Then I walked back to the my team members, that's when I got a call.

It was Akku, he said that Akshi was happy with our plan. And that was a happy news!

Aali was our security and helper. Sam, Aksha and Jia was supervising and helping everyone. Mikki, items organizer, began searching up antique-crafts and few modern items to be organised in the event area, she was ordering it. Nichu was ordering her necessary greenery designed welcoming side items. Sathu, already began planning up decoration ideas for nature lovers. Kitti was maintaining the accounts as everyone started purchasing the required things. Rahu and Akku was back from the shops after buying few things. Harz also got back after bringing up the things of setting the stage and other furnitures, in a truck. Adi was referring to new cuisines to confirm it by today.  Rish was just beginning his work.

I went over to Rish, "Bro! Graphics and light will be according to the song or music being played, right?"
He nodded.
I added, "I will get an idea of what kind of songs she listen or sing. Don't worry!"
He smiled.
I continued, "Film to be played in the projector should be her journey, gather all the images, videos, reels, family moments etc. of granma."
He replied, "Sure! That's a great idea."
I concluded, "Add her children's time with her too. I wish to surprise her by bringing her busy son."
He said, "That's a very good idea!"
I smiled and ended, "I have gathered some of her words that she spoke to me in this pocket camera, add it's clippings to the film you make so everyone comes to know more about her. Here's the cam!", I handed over the small tiny camera to him, that was in my pocket, with me whenever I talked to grandma.

All are our ideas were half set. I wanted to meet Akshi to talk about bringing her uncle. I was about to take the van when I saw Ishwa looking at me. He asked, "Car?"
I nodded.
He went in and came back with his key. We got in and he drove me to Taj group's head office where Akshi was in her cabin. The office was just six minutes from their mansion.

As soon as we reached, I went to the reception while Ishwa went to park the car. We had to get back home by tea time.

I asked Akshi about the chances of bringing grandma's busy son. After a few minutes of talk, she said me that she would look on to bring her uncle home within three days. It was a happy news too!

Then I walked back to the parking area, and got in to Ishwa's car. We were driving back home. Ishwa had been too silent, since we reached Jagu uncle's house.

He turned in the radio which was playing the classic music. I cleared my throat, "Are you alright?"
He looked at me and nodded.
I turned off the radio, "Have you thought of giving your silver jubilee celebrations organising to WD?"
He laughed, "No Ishi! You guys were busy organising this project. That's it! I didn't want to disturb, I am happy. In this way, you will surely get the signature."
I smiled, as we drove in the mansion's gate.
He said, "I am pretty impressed!", as I got down the car.
I smiled at that happy news, as I walked in with him. It was tea time. We were given tea and snacks. My team was too busy.

I asked Ishwa to join me and grandma in the gazebo and so I and Ishwa walked to the gazebo with a cup of tea in one hand and snacks in the other hand.

We sat in the gazebo, waiting for grandma to join us. I and Ishwa was talking about business, when we heard the sound of the footsteps approaching us.
