At The Airport

.

.

Arnav came out of the airport with his right hand man and bestie Aman discussing about their deal and its documentation.

Arnav : Aman everything should be done perfectly.You deal with the rest I am going home.

"Ok Arnav.. You take rest , I will take care of the rest" , said Aman.

Arnav : Aree yaar I dont think I can rest today .There is some pooja at home. So the whole Delhi will be at my home. And top of that NK , Adi and Di too. Do you really think I will get any rest at home?

" Then you come to my apartment or go to pent house and take rest.. You were having headache na Arnav", asked aman with concern..

" No Aman, Amma is waiting for me , I cant see her sad being late. Let it be.

Saying this Arnav got into his car. And the car zoomed out of the airport..

The car halted at the signal. Arnav looked out of the window and was mesmerised by the sight in front of him.
A beautiful girl in yellow salwar is helping an old grandma to cross the road. Her long hair left open flying with the wind. She look ethereal. She looked like a fresh sunflower in her yellow attire..His gaze glued to her and he was smitten with her.Her smile when the grandma gave her blessings made him smile too. Suddenly the car started and he kept looking at the beauty with beautiful heart till she vanished from his sight.

" What is this Arnav? When did you start oogling at girls" , asked his mind..

"Since he saw his Sunflower ", replied his heart dreamingly..

" Why she?", asked his mind..

" Because she is the one who captured me "-said his heart" , It's love at first sight for us", said his heart.

Arnav : Amma I came na... Then why are you crying?

Ratna : It's tears of happiness beta. I am seeing you after months na.

Anjali : Amma let him come inside...

He got inside and sat at living room. Had refreshments. After some time he got up from his seat to go to his room then a voice came from behind..

Aditi : Bhaijaan mee too here..

Arnav(with serious face) : Who are you? I never saw you in my house. Amma is she any refugee?

All laughed hearing that..

He said and walked to his room smiling .She followed him angrily...

Aditi : First of all it's she not he bhai. She is my baby,darling and best friend...

Arnav : Oh !!! Was that your friend Chikku? I think she is amma's favorite. Not even a single day amma talks, without taking her name.

After the much needed rest Arnav freshen up and climbed down the stairs to meet his family. He sat at the living room.

Ratna served tea and snacks to everyone and Coffee for her chotte and sat near him. They were talking then Arnav's phone rang. He picked the call.

Arnav : Haan Aman... Tell me...

Aman : Arnav are you fine? I know you are not well but Arnav you will be needed at AR. It's urgent. Our foreign deligates are visiting this evening and they asked for a dinner meeting with you for finalising the deal.

Ending his call with Aman he turned to Ratna.

Arnav : Amma I need to go to office now and its urgent. Dont wait for me for dinner. I will be late.

Ratna : What is this chote? Today you came after a long journey. We have a pooja now and you want to go to office now ?

Arnav : Amma ... Do you think that I will go unless it's important. I will try to come early. (Kissing his mom , he went to his room to dress up and within no time he rushed outside and drove the car out of RM.)

Dinner is always a noisy affair in RM..

Khushi : Adu Why your bhai not home yet?

Khushi : You ... Adu ki bachi I will kill you for sure, they both giggled and stopped hearing Anjali...

Anjali : Amma , Chotte is not my old chotte anymore , she complained...

Manorama : Hello -Hi - Bye bye..What happened Anjali..?

Anjali : He is not talking to me like before. After coming, he didn't even spend time with me chachi.

Aditi : That's because you are torturing him with marriage talks. And don't blame my bhaijaan. You also changed a lot after your marriage. You are not our di anymore. You are now Shyam Manohar Jha's wife only , she said annoyed.

Anjali : What do you mean by that Adi...? I don't belong here? Is this the way to talk to your di.?

Aditi : Then what di..It's better I don't talk to you about bhaijaan.. I don't want a fight on this, she said annoyed.

Khushi to Adu ( whispering): Calm down Adu.. By the way , is he allergetic to marriage..? ..or Adu !!! Is he gay !!!? she exclaimed.

Aditi ( horrified) : What ... no no... My bhaijaan is straight only... Anju di want him to marry her sister in law Sheetal. And Yes , he is allergetic to Sheetal actually..

Khushi laughed at her statement..

After dinner all retired to their respective rooms.

.

At Ratna's room

.

Anjali : Amma ..Why are you not saying anything about Chotte and Sheetal's proposal..?

Ratna : Anju ,You know your brother na. He is not interested in this proposal.

Anjali : Amma.. Shyamji is adament to get Sheetal married to Chotte. Saasuma too is talking like I have no right here and all. He will hear you amma. Please ask him to consider this proposal.
Sheetal is a good girl..Perfect for him. Modern ,classy ,who suits his status , she said and looked at Ratna with hope..

Ratna : I can't force him.. But yes I will talk to him once more about this for you. But I won't force him. After Akash's engagement I will talk to him regarding.
Till then I don't want to spoil his mood.

Anjali : Ok amma. But make sure he agree. Otherwise I need to suffer in my sasural, she said sadly..

Ratna : I won't spoil my one child's happiness for another one Anju. I already told you.. I won't force him. And about your inlaws..We din't had any deal with them about Chotte and Sheetal.
Shyam ,as your husband should understand that.We didnt do any exchange marriage here. It's your duty to make them understand. You go and sleep. We can talk about this some other time. I am so tired. So much to do tomorrow.. Good night..

Anjali went from there irritated ,closing the door.

By midnite Arnav reached home and went straight to his room , freshened up and lay on his bed.

He laid on his bed and his thoughts went to the beauty in yellow..
His Sunflower , his Sunshine, he smiled at the thought of her..Through out the meeting he was thinking about how to reach her. He knows nothing about her. How will he find her in this city like Delhi ? All those thoughts passed through his mind.

First need to draw her sketch then can hire a PD. Good idea.. he thought.. He smiled and closed his eyes with the thought of his Sunflower...
