Chapter 343

Her alarm buzzed and she was up in a flash as she was excited both about the previous day’s events and about their planned visit to the Museum that day. She felt like a kid again. It didn't take long for her to get ready as she was checking the clock often to make sure that she was going to be ready on time. She picked out a simple outfit, a cotton asymmetric skirt in dark pink. She paired it with a pin tuck Cami Top that had a 4-button Henley placket and a picot-trim scoop neck that was cinched under the bust with ties. She figured it might be a little cold once they are inside the building so decided to add denim jacket in pacific blue stretch cotton denim. She paired it with a denim hobo bag that had a magnetic-button closure with O-ring shoulder strap. She wanted to wear something comfortable as she might have to walk a lot. Her feet needed a massage after yesterday's walk in the park with the high heels. She picked out a simple wind leather sandals from Dr.School's. It was all white with a thin line of denim on the straps that adhered to her leg for a good fit. She wore a simple pick beads on around her neck with its matching earrings. Somehow the pink and the white and the blue seemed to blend well together. She was ready and the sandals were so comfortable she felt it was worth the money she had paid for it. She checked the time and was out of the house and was on her way to Pryag's. The previous night they had decided that she will go to his house and from there both of them will be off. Her brother was arriving that day so they had planned to go to JFK airport directly from there to receive him. That way it would be a lot easier with the commute and can save some time driving. As it was a Sunday she knew that the museum closes early and they can grab a sandwich and eat in the car and will still be on time to receive her brother.

She walked over to the guest bedroom to see if everything was set for her brother and Kathy’s arrival. Last time Kathy was there she stayed in the guest bedroom and her brother in his room. So she wanted to make sure that everything was in order. She checked the towels, the bathroom, bed sheets and made sure everything was in order. At the end she opened the closet to make sure that there was not anything there except some extra sheets and decorative pillows. She saw the outfit that Akshar had worn when he had accompanied her to the wedding. It was her brother’s but somehow it seems to fit Akshar very well. She had completely forgotten about it and she realized that the maid must have left it in the closet. She also remembered that she has not told Pryag about Akshar. Some how it didn’t occur to her as she had been having a great time she didn’t remember about Akshar either. Even though she didn’t intentionally left it out, but now that she remembered she felt that she must be honest with Pryag. The thought of Pryag brought a smile on her face and her phone rang. It was Pryag on the other end, “Hi. Where are you? We don’t want to be late?” She said, “Ten minutes.” Pryag said, “Okay. See you then” and he hang up. She took the outfit and left it on her bed for now and closed the door behind her and was out. In just a couple of minutes she was on the road headed towards Pryag’s home. She could not help but smile how wonderful things had turned out to be. Akshar did not even come into her thoughts. All she could think about was the time of her life she was having on the weekend of her birthday. She was excited about visiting the museum and to top it all her brother was arriving. Even though they mostly argued with each other and competed with each other, she loved him very much. His approval meant a lot to her, especially when it came to guys even when her father was alive.
