Part 3 Page Marker

Arnav was riding the car with a lot of thoughts. Why his mother didn't say anything when he asked about Chutki? Why didn't she say that Chutki is not in the same house in which she lived ten years ago? Why did they leave the place? Why he has not said anything about it? In fact, no one talked about Chutki in the past years. Arnav thought that they didn't talk about her because he is a teenager and they will talk about her when they fix the marriage. But it seems different here. They didn't invite them to the party. Ratna didn't say anything about them when he asked about her. What's happening here?

Arnav couldn't stop his mind from getting flashbacks.

Eleven years ago

Sashi Gupta was a loyal employee of Avinash Singh Raizada... Arnav's grandfather. He was such a person who gives an exact account detail for a single penny. So no wonder if Avinash treated him as one of the family members. But Shashi never took its advantage. He stood in his limits.

There was one more reason behind that... Subhadra Raizada... She strictly ordered him to be within his limits. As Shashi never took advantage, he didn't feel bad about that because he knew about Subhadra's nature and background.

Shashi came to RM with an important file as usual. Arnav, who came running, banged with Shashi, and Shashi dropped the file on the floor. Arnav kneeled down on the floor and started collecting the papers.

"I'm sorry uncle..." Arnav said repenting.

"You just leave it Chotte Sahib...I will collect it."

Arnav's hand stopped, seeing a beautiful, glittering PAGE MARKER. It was "A boy giving a rose to a girl" page marker with perfect finishing. He took it from the floor.

"It's beautiful..."

"My daughter made it..."

"Really? Does she make such things?"

"Yeah... in free time, she makes handcrafts."

"What is she studying?"

"She is studying in the fourth standard."

"Who teaches her to make of handcrafts?"

"No one... she learns from book and TV."

"Ohh... nice... can I take it?"

Shashi hesitated, thinking about Subhadra. She won't like it if Arnav gets anything from servants but, Arnav's 'expectation filled face' not letting him say NO.

"Ask Chutki to make one more for me too."

Shashi turned around and find Avinash standing.

"Namaste Sahib..." Shashi wished him.

Arnav rushed to him.

"Dadu... see, how beautiful this is..."

Avinash looked at Shashi.

"CHOTTE SAHIB likes it..." Shashi said with hesitation.

"How many times do you want me to say, don't call him SAHIB?"

"I'm used to it, Sahib..." Shashi swallowed hard.

"Call him Arnav or Chotte... just Chotte..."

Shashi stood said nothing.

"Do you like it?" Avinash asked Arnav.

"Haan... this is so nice. I will use this when I read books."

"Take it," Avinash said looking at Shashi.

"Thank you, Dadu... Thank you, Uncle..."

He took a step and stopped.

"Convey my thanks to Chutki too..."
