Hello dear readers, extremely sorry for the long break, College just re-opened and we had exams, so in the last part we saw Mrs.Gupta breaking the news of Roshini being kidnapped to Reyan and Aastha coming up with a plan. How do you think will this perplexing situation end ? will Roshini reach home or will the police escort Varun to jail ?.Lets find out !
As they laughed Varun came from another room finishing a call, he asked "So what's so funny guys ?", to which Roshini asks "So,what is the plan sir ?", "Ah, good question,the plan is...um..ah" replied Varun as he smiled fumbling realizing he had not heard the plan. To which Aastha replied, "Let me save you some time, so while you'll were panicking on the lockdown being announced, I was actually listening to what was being told, so since this is a sudden notice, general stores and chemists will still remain open, so we can call Mrs.Gupta to the general store near by and we can give Roshini to her mother, and then sit in peace since now the show won't happen !".To which Varun replied " Oh, it was that simple ?", with a kind of disappointment, "Varun, life is meant to be simple, it's just that we humans are complicated.", everyone went silent for a few moments, then Roshini cut the silence saying, "music, ladies and gentlemen ?"
As Roshini was playing some music, Mrs.Gupta sat by the window in her house looking at the playground across lost in her what if"s, that's when a guitar started playing as Reyan sang Mrs.Gupta's favourite song, 'Bade acche lagte hai', and in those few moments she forgot all that was happening and just took a break from reality. As the song finished, Reyan said, "Aap bhi bade acche khush dikhte hai." (you look your best, when your happy). "how can I be happy ?, there my daughter is kidnapped 'by mistake', and you are also living a very incomplete life." replied Mrs.Gupta, to which Reyan looked at her with a confused look,Mrs.Gupta then continued, "you know, there was a time, when you were so driven and passionate for your music, you even had your that friend who was ready to shoot and edit your first music video, but then each holiday you came back, that much far you were going from music..." , to which Reyan interrupted, “But ma, how could I ?, yes I love music but I also knew dad had lost his job in the recession, I remember seeing him crying and scared that day and I decided then that I need to do my best so that I won't have to see you do double duty or dad that broken, luckily he got another job in 4 months but I don't want our family to be in that position ever again.” As Reyan kept his head on his mother's shoulder, she said, “ you know, your father always supported me to open the bakery, it was hardly a month and he lost his job, I knew I was running in loss and giving that place on rent was the only sensible next step, but your father insisted me, telling that I cannot give up on that dream this soon, I first thought he is mad, but believe it or not, after two weeks I got my first birthday cake order and after that I started getting one order per week and from there it was just uphill, I was about to make a very huge mistake and I don't want you to do the same." Reyan looked at her and said, "But, even if I do muisic it is not a very well paying profession at the start,which is minimum four to five years and now even that Rohan must be busy with his career, and as it is every second person wants to become an artist, so just leave it, it's of no use." saying this he got up and went to his room.
Mrs.Gupta, then recieved a call on her phone, it was Roshini's number, she answered the call,"Hello ", "Hello Mrs.Gupta, Varun here, tomorrow you come to Abdul's general store, I and my friend Aastha will meet you there with your daughter, at 12 noon.", "Okay, remember, I will wait for you to show up till 12:30, after that, I am calling the police." replied Mrs.Gupta, with a stern voice. "Okay, so see you tomorrow at 12, abdul general store." replied Varun and cut the call. they then went to sleep. As Roshini slept on her fluffy pillow, Mrs.Gupta slept in breaks, waking up every hour.....
