Part 59


After completing all their work, Sai and her friends decided to sit in the audience to now finally enjoy the program and listen to the panelist. Sai was excited to see and listen to women achievers. She looked at all of them with admiration and dreamt one day she will be giving out speeches like them.


She liked all the panelists but the lady who left the most lasting impact on her was Mrs. Shah as she spoke on the challenges a woman face in shaping up her career, the prejudice she has to face in the society and how she has to struggle every step to maintain that balance in her personal and professional life despite the challenges life throw at her on at both front. Sai could so relate to her on this matter.


After the speeches were over, everyone was having lunch. Sai went in a hope to meet Mrs. Shah. She liked her personality; she wanted to interact with her. But to her dismay, all the guest speakers were taken to a separate hall for lunch and no visitor was allowed inside to disturb them. Sai still went there to try her luck.


Sai tried to enter inside the hall but there was security personnel and they denied her. She was saddened hearing that. She was about to return back when Ashwini noticed her from inside.


Ashwini asked one security personnel to let Sai inside the hall. A guard escorted her inside and told her that Mrs. Shah had asked for her. Sai was feeling lucky to be the only person going to join the VIP guests for lunch. She went happily.


"Thanks for letting me in. I also feel like some VIP. This is great." Sai showed her excitement.


Mrs. Shah let out a small laugh at her childishness. She instantly remembered how Usha tai keeps telling her about her antics.


"Woh, tumhe dekha to aisa laga ki shayad tum yaha kisi guests se baat karne mein interested thi isliye tumhe bula liya." Ashwini tried to clarify.


"Arre main to aapse hi baat karna chah rahi thi." Sai told her.


"What! Mujhse? Kya baat karni hai? Maine to socha tum young ho, yaha kisi entertainment wolrd ki personality se baat karna chah rahi hogi." Ashwini shared her surprise. She never expected Sai would be interested in talking with her.


"Haan, unse bhi kar lungi baad mein par sabse jyada impress to main aap hi se hui hoon. Waah! kya speech di hai aapne. Mujhe aapko milke ye baat batana tha." Sai praised her.


Ashwini was only too glad that her daughter in law actually liked her. But she couldn't help but curse her fate that she can't even let her know that she is her mother in law actually.


"Kya main aapke sath ek selfie le loon. Main na apne social media profile par share karungi." Sai asked in excitement.
