After my assistant replied that she would contact the company about the manager, I plan to take a day off today and go for some sight-seeing.

I start the bath and go back to my room to prepare for various herbal oils and sandalwood paste to apply for my body.

Guys take a note: sandalwood and turmeric is really good for your skin. It evens out your skin tone and keeps your skin healthy.

While i put all the items into a bowl, Ari enters my room. "Tch, Ari.. knock before you enter if you don't want to see me butt-naked.. just in case..", i say playfully.

"Chii Dii.. what all dirty things you talk about.. But I don't mind anyways." She says smirking.

"Yep. Definitely not dirtier than the books you read" i tease her.

"Oh shut up!! I don't design clothes like even those 'dirty' guys would think twice before ripping apart".. "By the way.. i came to tell you that, we are all going out to Your Lord Krishan's temple.. i thought you'd want to join us?" She says..

Did I mention that I am a param bhakt of Krishn..
Well I am..
So I say her i would come after i finished bathing and drive her away.

I quickly take a bath, put on my navy-blue salwar-suit and head down to the dining area. Maa tells me to eat a little sweet before going to temple. But I say that I would be on fast till I come back home.

After everyone eats, we head to the temple. Mom and dad take a seperate car, while we three ride in my car. So that we can have a secret talk.

Shashi starts telling us how he would be going to do a field-trip from his college to a "boring business meeting".. his words.. for 5 days and it was to discover the young talents in the business industry and also for new comers to demonstrate their business.

Me and Ari tell him not attend if he has problems with the event. But he mischievously tells us that "There will be a lot of girls.. they'll look soo hot on business suits.. I'll be very unlucky to miss such an event", he literally drools..

"Hai Bhagwan.. what did you do to my cute Shashi.." i say.. while Ari, the genius says, " Please don't get me a sister-in-law this early.. I am too young to be a mami".

We all laugh at this. But we know our brother enough that he wouldn't do relationships without notifying us. Because we do know of his first failed relationship and also about all the girls who ever confessed to him.

We reach the temple, and i tell them to go ahead while i parked my car. I get down from the car and start walking to the temple.

All of a sudden, someone hugs me from behind. 'who the fuck dared to hu--' " Gigi.. it's been so many months..". Called out someone in a high- pitch tone.. And yeah.. that 'someone' was none other than my bestiee, Kriti. "Kri, you literally scared the heck out of me" i say as I held a hand over my heart.

She giggled as we walked towards the temple.
"You came back from Japan this early.." i say.
"No, there is still some work I have to complete. I'll be back by this month" she said.
We both were happy as we got to meet each other after a long time.

She is also a designer. A unique one if I have to say. She uses a fusion of multiple traditions all over the world in her designs. And the look ethereal.

"So.. why did you come??"

"Oh that!! You know.. I have a boyfriend.. i came to meet him" she said wiggling her eyebrows.

"Which boyfriend of yours has now become so serious that you want to meet, flying to india.." i asked raising an eyebrow.

She's had a lot of boyfriends. But she's never been so invested about someone. But she is loyal to all the 3 guys she's ever dated. Moreover, her parents randomly keep sending her out on blind dates. So this is the reason she has boyfriends, to avoid blind dates.

"I was just kidding.. i don't have a boyfriend as of now. I came here as I planned to start my business and yeah.. to set up things."

"You know what, I am staring a business too.. "i add.

"Well then let's start it together. Tell me when you do. I'll fly here after my job is done in Japan" she says.. "now I'll go.. my parents have set up another blind-date early in the morning " she says, defeated and leaves.

I enter the temple and ory to Krishn to bring happiness and contentment in the life of me and my family. We then do the prasad distribution in the temple. Mom and dad go to attend some event while Ari and Shashi go to their colleges.

I decide to stay around the temple. I wander enjoying the peace and bliss. Then I come across a stage where a program is arranged. I go over to that place to see the pujari all tensed and worried.

I asked him what was wrong. He replied, "Nothing beti, it's that.. a dancer who is supposed to start the program has lost her partner. She is worried that she won't be able to perform as it is a 2 person dance."

"What is the dance about.. I'll try to arrange for someone i say."

He pointed towards his right, to a short girl, "she is the one performing, the dance will commence in 30 minutes.. ask her. Please hurry " he says and goes away.

I approach her and say, "Hey Shorty, long time no see.." . She instantly recognised my voice, spun around, "shiv didi.. you here??"

"Ha it's me. Let's chat later, now tell me. What is your dance theme??" I enquired.

"Wo.. shiv didi.. it is a classical dance.."

"Oh. You are lucky,Ash!! I know classical.. Do you have an extra costume.. I'll join you", i say smiling..

"Yup. Thank God you are here.. let me help you with the costume. Hear the song. I think you still know that dance." , she chirps.. as we go to the backstage.

"We are a god-damn entertainment company.. how can you not arrange for a dancer!!" , i yell at my PA. How unfortunate of my PA, Vanshi.. he's been getting into a lot of trouble recently.

'Nainowale neee
Ooooo

Nainnowale ne cheda man khyala..

Mera chaainn, naainn, raainn apne sath le gaya..'

'

I heard that the familiar music.
It was the song my sister was supposed to dance to. I walk over to the stage to see that my sister has already found a partner.

We had come to The krishn temple today as Ashmi had a dance performance. And unfortunately, her dance-fucking-partner didn't arrive at the said time. Ashmi was all tensed up. So I stepped out to call Samay, who didn't answer the call. Fucker. So I decided to call Vanshi to enquire about any potential dancers from our company. But No. Of all the women who work.. none has a hobby of classical dance..

Glad Ashmi found someone.
I move forward all by myself.. feeling drawn to the presence on-stage. I stopped in my tracks to find..
