Dil Dosti Dance OS Series

Krisha OS : Exploring and Finding

A lady stood before an immense building which was on the busy streets of Mumbai. She sighed as she thought about the same and wondered what brought her there. With the chain of thoughts running through her mind, her second thoughts came in her mind if she was doing right? But as her thoughts broke by hearing music and voices from the building, she decided that she would go inside and meet the person she came to meet. She walked inside the building, going to the reception.

LADY: Hello, May I know if I could meet the director?

REC: Hello madam, Sorry he is busy with a meeting. He would be done in half an hour. May I know for what reason you want to meet him.

LADY: Just give him this message. He will understand. I shall wait till the time. ( Handling a envelope to the receptionist)

The receptionist gave her a skeptical look but brushed off her thoughts as she had other works too. The lady sat down on the couch near the reception. The receptionist informed about her arrival, giving the envelope as instructed, the man himself came out of the cabin later. He walked to the reception and stood there taking in the presence of the lady. The lady was busy reading a magazine, later noticed a person standing near her and raised her head up. They both gazed at each other for a while, breaking their trance after hearing the receptionist calling him.

MAN: ( to receptionist ) Dismiss all the schedule for today, Ask the employees to take off for the day from my side and no one should be present in the premises, not even a single person. And yes, just send some coffee and snacks in my cabin before leaving.

The receptionist looked at him bewildered as if he had asked to do the most impossible thing of this world. The receptionist didn't argue, just executed the orders.

MAN: ( to lady) Let's move to my cabin.

The lady nodded at his words and got up to follow him. He pulled the door for her into his cabin and asked her to sit down. The attendant placed the coffee and snacks and left. The man locked the cabin from inside and sat a bit far from the lady who was sitting on the couch in the cabin. There was silence for a while, unable to bear it, the man broke it.

MAN: How are you?

LADY: (low voice) I am fine.

MAN: Smriti, I have waited for you all these years.

SM: I am not here to discuss us, Gautam (sternly)

Gautam was silent for a while and then replied: Is it about Kriya?

SM: yes. She left me. I know I did wrong with her but I am a mother at last.

GA: What exactly did you do ?

Smriti then explains the condition she put on Kriya on Elimination morning.

GA: When did she leave?

SM: Around 6 months back. I tried searching for her in Dehradun and I somewhere have doubts she may be here, I tried my best too, but I am tired now. I fear for her.

GA:( silent for a while) I know I should not ask about it. But why did she leave?

SM: Around 1 year back I took her from Mumbai as I came to know about her dance and the boy. She changed after that, she became silent and the bubbly Kriya lost. I made her understand about the same, later she adapted after looking at me and started her routine. But one day, she got to know about us, the most dreaded truth of our life which we hid from our daughters. She blamed me for everything in her life. She then left me by just leaving a letter in which she wrote she was leaving her and will return someday but doesn't know when. I was shattered. She also mentioned about Sharon and you saying that at least we should be together now and give Sharon the parent's love she longed for all these years. As far as she is concerned she is happy with what she has and mentioned that she won't break the promises taken by me.All these months I pondered over her words and even today I don't know whether I am ready. But Gautam, I request you to please bring her back to me. I won't live without her. She is my beloved daughter; you don't know how I spent the last six months without her. (joining her hands before her as if begging )
