Seoul, South Korea
Rajat was sitting in his cabin, waiting for someone impatiently. The door opened and a man walked in. Rajat looked at him and gestured him to sit. "I hope you have brought me a good news, D'Souza," said Rajat. The man, D'Souza smiled and nodded. "I have, sir. Mr Aryan Sinha is in Lucknow city. He has been spotted with a woman, about thirty year old, I guess."
Rajat's eyes shined with excitement. This had to be Meera. "Do you have her photograph?" he asked hopefully. D'Souza handed him a photograph. Aryan was holding the door of a car for a girl. And that girl was undoubtedly Meera. Rajat took a deep breathe, while D'Souza continued, "Sir, her name is Meera. She is teaching dance in a Dance Academy in Lucknow. She had been living in a 1BHK flat since past five years. But yesterday, she shifted to a 2BHK with Mr Aryan. Rest of the information....." He could not complete his sentence as Rajat spoke in between, "No need. Keep an eye on them. And I will give you our passports soon. Start the Visa process. I have to go to Lucknow."
D'Souza nodded and left the cabin. Rajat looked at the photograph and smiled. "I am coming to you Meera. And this time, I will be a better brother." Saying so, he locked the photograph in his drawer and left the office.
Kapoor Mansion
Rajat entered his home and immediately walked towards his father's room. As he entered the room, he saw his father lying on the bed and his mother reading a magazine. "What happened, Rajat? You are here at this time?" asked Rakesh Kapoor, a sixty five year old man. He gave Rajat a piercing gaze, making him uncomfortable as it always did. But this time Rajat knew that he had maintain his calm. He looked into his father's eyes with confidence and spoke, "Dad, I was thinking to take Sapna and Sara on a long vacation. It has been a long time." Rakesh looked at his son, trying to figure out his thoughts. "Why suddenly?" he asked. Rajat gave him a you-know-the-reason look. Rakesh nodded and asked, "Where?" "India. Where we met," said Rajat dreamily. Rakesh looked at his son and said, "You should plan a child." Rajat chuckled.
Rashmi who was a mute spectator of this conversation, now searched her son's face for answers. He was happy today after a very long time. She asked him the reason. "Just remembering Sapna and my courtship days," he replied and left the room.
Sapna-Rajat's room
Rajat entered the room and looked for his wife. She was sitting on the bed and teaching alphabets to their three-year old daughter. It was difficult to find Meera but it was more difficult to take Sapna somewhere without letting her know the destination. But he couldn't let her know. He wanted to surprise her. Moreover, he did not want Meera to know about their arrival. He had no doubts regarding the fact that Sapna was in contact with Meera.
He cleared his throat. Both mother and daughter looked at him. While Sara came running to her father's arms, Sapna kept sitting on the bed. Rajat picked Sara in his arms and hugged her close. He went towards the drawer and took out his and Sara's passports. Now came the main task. Mustering some courage, Rajat spoke, "I want your passport, Dream. I am taking both of you on a loonnng vacation."
Sapna looked at her husband. It had been a long time since he had called her with that nickname. But she was still upset. "I am not going anywhere with you." Rajat's heart broke at her refusal. Nevertheless, he spoke, "Fine. You stay here. Sara and I will go and enjoy." He kissed Sara's cheek.
If the nickname had not shocked Sapna, his resolve did. "Fine," she said and handed over her passport. Rajat smiled sweetly and tried to hug her but she dodged him and left the room.
Still smiling, Rajat thought to himself, "She doesn't let me touch her and Dad wants me to plan a child. Forgive me once Sapna, and then I will take revenge of all those nights when you tortured me by hugging me tightly in your sleep."
