"Reddy make sure dinner is completed on time. Kirti is finally coming back home. Everything should be perfect."

"Yes Anna. I made all her favorite foods."

" Farhad did you confirm her flight? We will we to leave for the airport"

"Anna there is still time. We will be 2hrs early."
Wh
"That's fine let's go now. There would be traffic."9

Farhad grabbed a gift bag from the table and started to walk towards the door.

"Hold on what is that in your hand"

"It's a gift for kirti Anna, she is returning home after a long time."

Raghav literally facepalmed himself. He should have thought to get her a gift.

"What did you get her? Show me?"

"It's a saree, and no I can't it's packed. So I can't open it."

"We need to stop by the showroom I will pick out a necklace for her! "H

"Please don't get mad but I don't think that is special. "

What you mean not special. I will get her a very expensive jewelry set then"

" she would prefer something more sentimental then expensive. She was telling me about startin  byg a saree collection. She wanted to have all kinds of Sarees just like your mom"

Raghav remembered how much Kriti loved to dress up in his moms saree. She would always tell mom about when she would grow up all she would wear is a saree.

"You are right Farhad. Get me the best boutique in town and I will buy out 200 Sarees from them."

"No no Anna. You will need to buy one or two saree for her. You need to select them personally. The whole point of a collection is to remember the story behind each piece. You can buy her an big collection today but it won't mean the same to her. She needs to acquire each saree and a story with it. To make it special."

"Okay. We have time. Let's go to the mall"

"Make sure you keep rotating the stock on the shelves.   Also make sure you have extra staff here Diwali is only 2 weeks away. Everyone will be shopping and we need to have enough people to support!"

"Yes didi - why are you worrying so much? This is not new to me"

"I know Krishna. I am sorry. I am feeling very anxious. It's been four months, and suddenly the call! I don't know what to do what to think."

"Did you talk to your Aayi and baba?"

"Talk to them. I can't even bring up mandaars name without baba getting angry at me. He seems to have closed the chapter of mandaar shut. But I can't. I need answers. But I am no close to answers then I was four months ago."

"Maybe your baba is right you need to move on. I heard that a Ladka came to see you last weekend. How did it go?"

"The same as it always does. As soon I tell him about my past. They all can't run to the door fast enough. I don't know why Aayi and baba are insisting on doing this. I am just fed up. Why do I need a guy in my life?"

"Didi you can't be single all your life. You need someone to spend your life with."

"Why do I need someone. I am perfectly happy by myself. Men are just additional headache. What benefit can a man add to my life"
