Helpless

The assistant looked at chandhini, she looked very beautiful in blue net saree with her hairs curled and caught up in at nape falling down like a waterfall on her back.

Assistant,'' madam, there is an issue with the stage. It's tilted toward right too much and its taking up the space for tables we were going to set up for food.''

Chandhini barely heard her,her thoughts still at home.,''break it and then built another one.''

Assistant tried again,''but madam..''

Chandhini ignored her protest and said,'' Leave me and don't disturb me until I call you again.''

After assistant was gone chandhini sat on her chair and put her head on table as tried to control her tears.

...

Advay was playing golf when he got a call from Mr. mangeshakar requesting his urgent presence at office. Advay went to office.

Mr. mangeshkar was waiting for him in the hallway,after greeting Advay he took Advay to his room and told him that he was trying to reach chandhini for past two hours but she wasn't answering her phone and she told her assistant to not disturb her.

She didn't attended the meeting and everyone waited for her an hour before starting without her.

Advay listened to his complaints and resolved them one by one, he approved the pending tasks and then he went with Mangeshkar to take a survey of the work to see how it was proceeding. Both mangeshkar and Advay stared shocked at the stage which was broken and now being rebuilt.

Mangeshkar immediately called his subordinate,he told there was a fault and chandhini madam asked to broke it and remade it. Advay was ready to kill someone. He closed his eyes and counted to ten.

Mangeshkar was angry at his subordinate,''why wasn't I told about this issue, it took whole night to build this stage, how can we make it in 5 hours?''

Advay quickly thought about options,'' get more workers here immediately as many as can be arranged.''

Mangeshkar thought about it and said,''not enough room for more workers. May be we should shift the venue, let me see if I can book some hall in a hotel.''

Advay,'' but the guests?''

Mangeshkar,'' I will personally phone them and tell them change in venue.''

Advay didn't say anything, how could they find a good place so quickly and so many people were invited. It was matter of their family reputation.

Mangeshkar frowned,''there is another option too, maybe we can get a ready made stage and try to fix it here?.''

Advay,''Its worth a try.''

...

Chandhini slowly raise her head feeling slightly dizzy. She peered around her, did she fell sleep? She remembered thinking about her room and ayi and then, it was a blank.

She looked at time, more than 3 hours had passed, oh my god the function! She got to her feet staggering a little. She drank water and went out of the office. She went to her assistant's cabin but she was not there.

Chandhini went toward the hall. She entered the hall, Advay and Mr. mangeshkar were standing with couple of other people and staring at stage which was being built. She went toward them. Advay turned his head, saw her and turned away from her.

Chandhini went to Mr. mangeshkar and said,''Sorry I missed the meeting, everything is ok?''

The guy stared at her face for a few moments, then gave her a polite smile which seemed more like a grimace, I will be just be back.'' he left from there. Other people dispersed too. She was left with Advay looking at stage.
