mother if she could miss school
Naina: please mom, I am tired, can i not go to school today

Khushi: (chuckled) no you have to go come on, off you go
(she pulled her up and out of bed)
Naina headed of to the bathroom, rubbing her eyes sulking
about going to school, khushi went on to now check on her husband, as she
entered the room, she saw he was still in bed, she went next to him and started
to shout
Khushi: what are you still doing here, get up
Arnav: khushi I don't want to go to work
Khushi: what the
Arnav: hey that's my line (he hit her with the pillow)
Khushi: arnav!! You have the conference thingi to go to

Khushi: you and your daughter are just alike, even she was
refusing to go to school
Arnav: because its Monday morning that's why
Khushi: come on get up (she pulled him out of bed too)
A fussing arnav went into the bathroom to get ready, khushi
again headed of to the kitchen to get their breakfast ready, naina came out she
was rubbing her eyes and drinking her chocolate milk arnav followed her his
black coffee was on the table, both looked at each other and said in a sleepy
voice
Arnav and naina: I am sleepy
After they both spoke they realized that they spoke together
and both of them started to laugh khushi joint in, they had their breakfast,
arnav took of too work and naina cycled to school on her new cycle,
At AR designs
Akash was waiting for arnav to come, from their they would
leave for the conference, as arnav entered akash put some files in front of
him,
Akash: bhai, good you're here, these are the company
profiles that we are looking at
Arnav opens the files and gives it a glance
Arnav: ok akash , if we are ready lets leave
They all left for the meeting to great London, which was
held in a grand hotel, as they entered the conference room, everyone were in
business suits black, blue beige, the announcement was made for everyone to sit
down at their respective tables, then the projector was turned on and a bunch
of graphs were shown to brief everyone about the companies, people around the
world had come to buy shares at this conference it was a big deal, and the
world stock market would fluctuate from here on,
One by one the announcement was made on the mike for shares,
and people stood up and bought them, arnav and akash had bought quite a handful
of shares as the market was good, and arnav singh raizada was known to be a
bull in the market, aman stood up to confirm each share they bought as a
representative
The conference was about to end and people were now mostly
socializing, refreshments were served by the hotel, and people were all
standing and talking, arnav and akash participated,
mr babinsky: well hello mr raizada what an honor to have you
here, at the conference I hear you have picked up a lot of shares (he smiled at
arnav)
arnav: well yes, off corse, they don't call me the bull of
the market for no reason do they (he raised his eye brows)
mr babinsky: off course that's true (agreeing) and hows
everything else mr raizada I heard you got married and have a child
arnav: (remembering his khushi and naina, he smiled) yes
they are fine,
arnav was chatting up with people when he noticed a tall
figure in a business suit he was none other than ritesh, he leaned forward and
whispered into arnavs ears
akash: bhai look its ritesh, jiju
arnav immediately changed the direction of his eyes and saw,
and there he was anjili's husband, ah I mean ex husband, arnav and ritesh
shared a distant relationship after the divorce, before the divorce they were
both close, they would often discuss business issues, arnav looked up to ritesh
like an older brother, Anjili was happy to see arnav and her husband so close,
but after the divorce things changed, arnav couldn't see his sister so sad and
thus he too started distancing himself from ritesh, so there was no contact,
ritesh too saw arnav, both the men stared at each other and
then out of courtesy they both walked towards each other to say a casual
hi
ritesh: hi arnav
arnav: hi jiju
akash: hi jiju
ritesh: hey akash
and then there was awkward silence
ritesh: so arnav how you doing,
arnav: I am good, doing fine and you
ritesh: great never better , I heard you go married
arnav: yes I did, (he smiled)
ritesh: so who is the lucky girl
arnav: well her name is khushi,
ritesh: oh that's great (he smiled, took a pause and then
said in a low tone) hows Anjili doing
arnav: she is fine,
ritesh: well I met her that day, she was shocked to see me,
so I was worried
arnav: (confused) which day jiju
ritesh: you know on saterday, at the mall,
all the jigsaw pieces came together, he now could see
clearly that anjilil was behaving strange because she met ritesh, and khushi
had mentioned to him about what happened in the car
arnav: well yes she is fine (he nodded)
ritesh: oh ok that's great, (a bit surprised) well I better
be going
all three men shook hands and then took off,
