Chapter 50

She was contemplating whether to call him or not and her thoughts were interrupted by her cell phone. She picked it up and it she was not sure who was calling her. “Are you busy?” The voice called out and she recognized that it was Chari’s son, and he wanted to make sure that she will be joining them for dinner and indicated there had been a change of plan and the dinner will be at his dad’s. She assured that she will be there for dinner and she knew that the food will be great and she was expecting more people at the house since the Chari’s daughters wedding was almost there. She wanted to talk to her brother Shyam and Kathy alone, but knew that was not going to happen today. She still couldn’t believe that her brother was engaged; the thought of him brought a surprise on her forehead.

She didn’t really notice the time and was busy with her work until Mike stopped by and asked her if she was going to lock up tonight. She looked at clock on the wall since she does not care much for a watch and it indicated it was six fifteen and she remembered her dinner plans and nodded indicating that she will lock up. She wanted to finish something she had started and realized that would take more time and decided to continue it the next day. She checked everything and locked up and stepped out of the building and was ready to leave, her cell phone buzzed and she let it go on to the answering machine after looking at the caller number.

The dinner was good, very traditional as she had anticipated and she remembered the good old days that she used to spend with her parents and wondered how her life had changed dramatically in the last few years. She had been working on a workflow after her presentation and that was mainly occupying her mind and she was paying very little attention to the pranks and the laughter that was going around. Her brother was summarizing about his trips and how he met Kathy and how long he will be staying etc, but her mind was about how she was going to implement her plans and ideas and was wondering if it was possible to get Akshar’s opinion on her layout.
