Part 9

During the day, Virat went to his baba's office with him. There he thought that the moment is right to talk about his future plan. He told Ninad about his startup plans and that he wishes to go to Mumbai as soon as possible once the wedding functions are over.

"What? You still want to go back to Mumbai." Ninad asked completely shocked.

"Yes and what is there to feel shocked about it. I told you already right." Virat replied.

"Yes But I thought you were doing this because of that Pakhi. I thought she only had put that idea in your mind." Ninad replied.

"She had nothing to do with my start up plans. She might have her own selfish reasons to support me but I was working on it before I met her." Virat clarified.

"Look Virat, I am growing old and so is your Kamal uncle. We are finding it difficult now to handle all of this business. We were expecting once you will returned you will share our responsibility and ye sab tumhara hi toh hai phir tumhe aur naya kya karna hai?" Ninad tried to make him understand. 

"Main apni tarah se sab kuch handle karna chahta hoon baba." Virat argued.

"Haan to main kab mana kar raha hoon. Tum isi business ko apni tarah se handle karo na." Ninad suggested but Virat was still adamant to go back.

"What about Sai? She has taken admission in her PG course only this year in Nagpur and now how can she leave it in midyear? Ninad tried to give more reason to him to stay.

"What? Why she took admission here there are better colleges in Mumbai." Virat asked.

"Because unlike you she is not selfish. She knows that her parents are now old and they need her. In your absence she used to take care of us also. She never differentiated between her parents and us. We always used to tell her that why she is wasting her time on us , she should live her life and fulfill her dreams and she could be with you if she goes to Mumbai but you know what she used to say? She always said that maa baap toh kabhi apne sapne pure karne ke liye bachho ko akela nahi chhodte toh phir bachhe kaise unko akela chhod de." Ninad said as he smiled remembering Sai.

Listening about it Virat felt he really was being selfish, the last line hit him really hard. He always thought about his dreams, his ambition only. Thank God Sai was there to look after his parents. If she could do this much for his parents then he can at least fulfill their one wish. Virat gave it a thought then  was finally convinced to stay. He told his baba that he will not go to Mumbai now and will join their business. Ninad was on cloud nine and he immediately called Kamal Joshi to share this news. All these little details Virat was slowly learning about Sai was making him realize how ignorant he was about her existence.

In the evening, Virat was already on the stage set up for their reception party. He was wearing maroon color sherwani with indo western pants and matching embroidered stole. He was already getting irritated by the increasing number of guests. He didn't like being center of attraction and today he was just forced to stay in limelight so that some distant relatives and random neighbors and people could meet and greet him, he was hating every bit of it.
