Air Beneath My Wings(On Hold)

Plans

"So, Raizadas, first order of business. Mrs Anjali Jha wants a mansion." Khushi spoke, quite in form. "Bold letters. Mansion. You hear me, Arnav?"

"Yes Madam."

"Now, does anyone know a place where, five, eight, eleven, twelve of us can stay?"

"Twelve? How did you reach that number?" Arnav asked.

"Just a hunch. Six bedrooms at least. Plus guest rooms. Arnav, write that down."

"Yes Madam."

"You have him wrapped around your finger. No wonder he ran after you!" Payal said.

"Hush, Payalia. Now, suggestions?"

"There's this place on the river," Akash's eyes sparkled.

"Is it on sale?" Khushi asked.

"Not yet. But if we are digging into the inheritance, it can be for us."

"Make the call. We'll visit after lunch."

"Place by the river? How much is it going to cost?"

"You don't want to know, Bhai. I'll negotiate, though."

"Alright." Khushi smiled. "Second order of business. AR stands for Anjali Ratna, yes?"

"Yes."

"Dear husband, do you think, right here right now, that your sister likes being associated with her mother?"

Arnav seemed to think hard. "No."

"You named your company after the two women in your life. You were right to. But, we have changed. Di is a mother now. You have me, too. Tell me, who all know that AR stands for Anjali Ratna?"

"Just the inner circle."

"Meaning?"

"Me, Aman, Akash, Amu, Di, and of course Mama Mami and Nani. And now Payal and you."

"Here's a suggestion. We name our child with an R. For your mother. But, when we do our child's baby line at AR, we announce, we are rebranding. AR will stand for Arsh and our firstborn. Win-win."

Arnav marveled at her thought process.

"The idea is good. But what baby line?" Payal asked.

"Arnav pitched it at Aspire, because," Khushi pointed to her stomach. "But, because he's going to resign, and hasn't turned in any design yet, I'm cent percent sure, they will scratch the project. Even if they delay it, AR will have me and Arnav designing. By the way, I want head of design department here in London."

"Bold request." Akash commented.

"Take it. So you want our first show in London to be a baby line?"

"We'll grab the prize next time with one of my amazing inspirations."

"I bet we will."

"It's just so nice to see you both on board." Payal sighed.

"If I knew this was an option, I would have hit him in the head months ago. Oh, I have to resign, too."

"You're working Khushiji?"

"I'm on maternity leave, but yes. Junior Designer."

"Not Aspire."

"How did you know?"

"Aman would have found you." Arnav pointed out.

"Right. Not Aspire, no. Indigo."

"High ambitions, sis."
