They went inside and started finding that man.

The office timing is from 10:00 and 15 minutes are left for that You can wait here, the man said.

They both took their seats and started waiting for that man.

How handsome this man is, I feel he is the owner of this radio station, vaijanti said.

How you can say this, you can’t judge this from anyone’s faces, Sudha said.

See other workers also started coming I hope he will come soon too, vaijanti said.

The stranger man came.

See here he came, sudha said.

They saw everyone was greeting him; sudha stood in her place and went to him.

Do you want something, Mam, he asked?

No, I am here to return you this umbrella, Thank you very much for helping me, Sudha said.

Ur most welcome, he replied.

Sir everything is ready, the worker of radio station said.

Wait a minute, he said to Sudha,

He returned after a minute and continue talking with her.

I hope you reached safely yesterday.

Yes and because of you only. The man who guided them to wait for 15 minutes came and said, finally you are here Shrikant and please solve this problem first.

Shrikant replied yes, wait for 5 minutes.

Finally, Vaijanti and Sudha came to know that the name of the stranger is Shrikant, and now he is no longer a stranger to them.

That man said, do you find the person you both are finding?

Yes, vaijanti replied

That person is me, amar. Shrikant said.

Meet him He is my friend Amar. He helps me to run this radio station We are partners.

That’s nice they both said and left.

They moved out of radio station.

Now they finally know the name of the stranger, which is Shrikant.

Sudha is happy that se returned umbrella but vaijanti was happy to see amar. At first site, she fell hard for amar.

Why are you going home? Please stay, vaijanti said?

No i have to go now We will meet tomorrow in college.

Ok but why you not go college today? Is it because of me?

No, actually some important guests are coming this noon.

Actually, Papa is selling haveli, which is next to our house.

But why is he selling? vaijanti asked.

Because he is planning to purchase new haveli in Ludhiana.

Ok, let me go. I will talk to you later about this.

She went home and helped her mother and aunty in cooking; she settled every corner of the house.

She prepared a guest room too if guests would stay.

The women's house was sitting on the porch preparing sharbat, and Kaveri asked.

Mumma, who is going to purchase that haveli.

I don’t know my child; the only thing I know is that the boy who is going to purchase this is from Ludhiana and he is settling here, he has property in Ludhiana too and your father Is purchasing property their so that he can open their industry their too; he will send your brother there to handle the business there.

Wow it would be fun then we will also get chance to go there.

Yes, but let this confirm what aunty said.

Sudha, take all these things inside kitchen. Kaveri, help your sister and help her arrange lunch.

As per instruction, kaveri and sudha arrange lunch on table.

Didi, when brother is coming, rakhi is next week.

He is coming next week Kaveri, but I don’t know exact day and date.

Stop talking girls concentrate on work; work with your hands, not your mouth.

They all completed work before the arrival of guest. Sudha went to her room and change her clothes as it became dirty.

The bell rang. sudha went to open the door When she opened the door, she was shocked to see that who was the guest.

Guest is amar and Shrikant, Namaskar; they said she too replied them and call them inside.

Now she was in fear that if they told her family that she was stuck in radio station, she would also go today to return umbrella.

Kaveri call everyone guests are here.

Shrikant knows her fear; by reading her face, he asks her to show the way to washroom. She started guiding him.

Don’t worry, I will not tell your parents about our meeting, Shrikant said.

How you know that I was tensed.

Because I read tension on your face.

Thank you so much.

By the way, you know my name, but you don’t tell yours what your name is.

Sudha,

Wow, what a pretty name you have.

Sudha… sudha….

I have to go; my mother is calling me.

He went back to the hall, and she went to her mother.

Go and give this sharbat to guests her mother instructed.

As per instruction, she went their and serve them sharbat.

Everyone was gathered and the discussion of property started.

I want to sell this haveli so that I can purchase some property in other places Having property near home and the main thing is it is not used by us is not good so instead of wasting this property, we decided to sell it and to purchase property for industrial use, baldev bindra said (Sudha’s father)

Your thoughts are good uncle ji and I am here as I have to run my radio station, so instead of staying in hotels, it would be better that I would purchase a home here Shrikant replied.

From my side everything is final I am ready to sell.

From my side too, uncle.

That’s great, then we will sign papers tomorrow on Mahurat between 9:00 and 11:00.

Sure, uncle Shrikant replied.

Introduce this young man to us baldev asked.

Uncle Amar is my bestfriend and my partner in radio station. He is from this city; only his father runs school here.

Uncle I used to say that instead of living in hotel, stay in my house but he never agreed, and today finally he purchased his own house in the age of 22, amar said.

What your father does, Shrikant?

He runs hotels and industries too, like you.

I want to request you please, instead of living in hotel, please live with us tonight.

Aunty, how I can live here?

No problem; you can live in that place, which you are going to purchase tomorrow.

This would be good, amar said.
