Part 34

Next day.
Argawal mansion.
Malika's home.
Malika brings 2 glasses of juice she hands over one glass to Bani.
"Thank you," Bani thanked.
"Your welcome.....so tell me how did it go...with you and Veer?" Malika asked.
"He proposed me to be his girlfriend," Bani replied plainly.
"Wow...that's great news...but why are you not over the moon....I thought this is what you wanted.... isn't it?" Malika asked.
"I don't know...what I want....Malika....I just don't know,"Bani replied.
"Tell...me...what's the matter?" Malika asked concerned.
"Well...the thing is.... yesterday when Veer asked me to meet him....I started having these flashbacks of me and Shivaay...when we meet and how...until we got into a relationship...it was like I was relieving nostalgia or something....I don't understand why.... isn't this...what I wanted...to be Veer's girlfriend...tell me Malika...am going bizarre," Bani explained.
"I think...it's because....you still love me," replied Malika.
"No...no...no....I think...this is just a phase...it will be gone soon," Bani replied.
"What if it doesn't?" Malika asked.
"I'll suck it up," Bani replied.

Oberoi Hospital.
Ishani knocks at the door.
"Come in," Sid replied.
Ishani stepped inside.
"Sir....why did you call for me?" Ishani asked.
"Take a seat," Sid replied.
She took a seat.
"So...is there any problem...sir....am unaware of?" Ishani asked confused.
"No... firstly... don't...call me as sir...but Sid... anyways...I noticed...when Mr Shivaay....was here....he seemed rather close to you....so am requesting for your help...to know he's way...of governing the hospital to greater heights....let me get direct to the point...ropes..so what do you say?''Sid requested.
"Me....okay...sir....oops....I mean...Sid," Ishani replied.
Sid offered a handshake...at first...she was reluctant...but shook his hands...and started having butterflies in her stomach... because...she sort of had a crush... on him.
"I'll go now,"Ishani said out of the blue and left and closed the door.
Sid couldn't help smiling at his interaction with her.

Eatery.
"I can't wait for next week...me and my besties....will be working together..... spending time together... bonding together....it's going to be thrice as fun," Gauri said.
"Count me as well," Bhavya replied.
The two of them...noticed...Anika was lost in thoughts.
"Annie....where are you lost in?"Gauri asked.
"Well...am happy....is that...I can't help...to think...of my career....as a journalist...it's all gone," Anika replied.
"Annie..... everyone...is their hero...of their own story...we all start from somewhere...look at me for instance....I want to be a designer...that's why...am starting from...the drawing board...hoping that hopefully one day...I'll be somewhere," Gauri advised.
"Yes....Annie...everyone's dreams are valued...one day... you'll spread your wings high... you'll remember my words," Bhavya added.
"Thanks guys...am the luckiest girl in the world....to have friends like you...are rare to find," Anika replied.
She hugged them.
"Enough...with the sentimental talk...let's eat," Gauri said.
Anirivya started eating.

Next morning.
Oberoi mansion.
All are done with their breakfast and are now heading up with their suitcases downstairs.
Pinky stops them.
"Hold...on a sec...where are you heading off?" Pinky asked.
"Mom...do you have amnesia...or....were going to Pune...or have you forgotten," Rudy replied.
"You think you very funny.... right...I came to see whether you've packed everything," Pinky replied.
"Mom... everything is there... sunscreen lotion..towels clothing...you name it," Shivaay replied.
"Yes mom..we checked the second time," Om added.
"Better safe than sorry... don't you think?" Pinky replied.
All were confused.
"Huh?!" Shivomru replied.
"What am saying... although the heavens blessed me with handsome and healthy boys...there was a demerit...too...boys are naughty, mischievous and clumsy...I knew it...you boys... didn't pack enough garments... fortunately...am always prepared... thankfully...I bought the three of you...inner garments...the other day...hold on a minute...I bring them from my room," Pinky replied heading towards her room.
Shivomru were left perplexed.
She came back.
"There we go...these are for you... Shivaay...here you go... Omkara...and lastly...Rudra," Pinky replied handing over the garments.
"Alright...now... we're set....to go," Rudy replied.
A staff member came.
"Hurry...take their luggages....to the...van...," Pinky replied interrupted by Rudy.
"No...mom...will take... brother's car...and as for the chauffeur...there is no need," Rudy replied.
"Are you sure dear?" Rudy asked.
"Yeah...I want just to be the three of us only," Rudy replied.
"You heard...what he said...take them to Shivaay's car," Pinky replied.
The staff member took the luggages one by one until she was done.
"Alright...you guys take care....as soon as you reach Pune...call me....safe journey mercies...may heavens be with you," Pinky replied.
She hugged her sons and they left and went to Shivaay's car.
