It was a really big day for all the Maharashtrians. It was Ganesh Chathurthi. The people who adored Ganesh ji like they were the part of their family. For a mother, Ganesh ji would be there laal, their son, for children they would be their best friend for someone an elder brother, for someone one and only family.
The streets of Bombay, were echoing with the mantras and prayers of the lord. People were dancing with joy and happiness, trying to forward to just touch the almighty feet. The woman's were
drumming with a continuous smile on their face.
Some were offering modak, favorite sweet of Ganesh ji to the the priest, who would then after offering to Ganesh and give it back as prasad.
A mixture of love, happiness, joy and enjoyment was felt in the air of Bombay. The beautiful sky was rarely visible as it was colored with red and yellow color, probably by the people who were throwing colors.
Somewhere near a cliff
A person was sitting on chair, on the cliff. A pot of roshogulla was beside him while he was holding an album and looking at some pictures, with a small smile.
A soft breeze, made him close his eyes, and let out a sigh. Closing the album, he kept it aside and looked around. The sweet smell of flowers hit his nose, making him sneeze. Wiping up his nose, his eyes fell upon the pot of roshogulla. Her favourite. Removing the cover, he stared at the pieces of roshogullas.
A small tap on his shoulder made him look behind, to see, Vanshika was standing there.
" Hello sir. Kahan khoye huye ho. "
" Kahin nahi toh." Anirudh replied. " Jhoot bolna paap hota hai. Tum barrister kaise ban gaye." Vanshika said teasingly. Anirudh narrowed his eyes, and looked at her.
" Yeh roshogulla toh mera favorite nahi hai. Toh kyun leke baithe ho?" Vanshika asked to which Anirudh replied, " haa toh..mera hai."
Vanshika stared at him and said " kab se? Tumhe toh meetha pasand nahi hai. Sivay kheer ke."
" Samay ke saath sab badal jaata hai na"Anirudh said and sighed. " Bondita ka favourite hai. Mei jab bhi case jeet ke aata tha, toh do-do roshogulle khilati thi. Yaad aati hai uski."
"Toh dhundo na usse. Dost ho tum uske. Itna nahi kar sakte." Vanshika said, while trying to take one. Anirudh frowned and pulled away, and said " koshish ki meine. Bohot ki. Kuch nahi pata chala. Pata nahi Kahan chup gayi hai. Maa se bhi pucha meine, par unhone kuch nahi kaha.."
In Roy Choudhury Mansion
" Yeh baba ne Mr Das ke case ke papers kaha rakh diye hai. Mil kyun nahi rahe. Baba ki yaadash bhi pata nahi..." Somnath said, while going through his father's study.
He opened the drawer, and was startled to see some papers.
Cliff scene
" Tsk. Tumne dhunda hi nahi hoga. Jhoote." Vanshika said and rolled her eyes. Anirudh taken aback, said " Excuse me. I never lie."
Vanshika looked at him and laughed hysterically. Anirudh frowned and look at her with slight anger. " Rehne do tum." Vanshika said and vanished.
