Dear Readers,

Once again here I come up with one more story. This entire story based on fiction and it has nothing to relevant with any dead or alive person. This story starts from mid of 85 where one young guy falls in love with beautiful girl. 

Part 1

October 2012:

I am Aakash Shah sitting at balcony of my penthouse which based out of Charniroad. Watching the sunset, birds are returning back to their nest, and somehow today ocean water looks really beautiful. At the 50^th floor I can see the traffic of Mumbai so called city of dreams, where people are running back to their home. Daily I sits here and watch this beautiful atmosphere but today I don’t know why I m not comfortable.  My maid has just given me tea, but I don’t want to drink it. Since last couple of months I use to get this kind of weird feeling and its making me disturb. I am Mumbai’s one of the well known name, have lovely family, have money, have name, people consider me as their idol, I have done many charity but still there is one unidentified pain inside me.

1985: Bhuleshwar Mumbai,

Ratilal Shah migrated from Gujarat to Mumbai in hunting of settle down. Ratilal who always believe in business and being gujarati jain it was in his blood. He migrated with his son and wife. I am Aakash, Son of Mr. Ratilal and Induben. Being in my young age Dad enrolled me in commerce collage of south Mumbai, my academics has always been outstanding, as my nature is shy and silent most of the students doesn’t know my identity. My daily routine was collage in the morning, in the noon helps my father at our shop which he got on rent in Crawford Market at Mumbai. I use to spend my evening in library with book and night is occupied checking the accounts of father’s business. This routine made me looks older then my college buddies.  First year result I cracked all the records of Mumbai university and came out as topper. Teachers and batch mates fascinated by who is this Aakash Shah? On the annual day ceremony when I stepped in on the stage to collect my university medal every one shocked and fascinated. The guy who never got remarked in the collage now getting marked. Girls were chasing for my notes, guys always search me for clearing their doubt and I have always helped them. Being a gujarati its my nature to help and give respect to every one. But still there is one special person for whom I have considered more then my friend. Why Aakash why Aakash?

1986:

My final has been completed and summer vacation is just started. We have completed one year in Mumbai. Father has established his business and now days we entered into trading of textiles. Dad was usually asking me if possible then I can join them and start studying in evening classes but my mom always refused to dad’s this opinion and supported me for study. I changed my routine and start enjoying my collage days. Mean while I also made some friends in collage, Nisha, Dipti, Raheman, Bharat and Aafrin. We six became very good friends of each other. We started hangout. Go for movies at, Minarva, Erose and Maratha mandir. The fun time is going very well with our study. Before the diwali every thing was going fine, suddenly one day my mother fell down and became unconscious. We checked up with doctors and they said it’s about her body which is not able to comfortable with Mumbai’s weather. Dad decided to move back to our home town in Gujarat. Mom refused this idea and she said, she will go back and will visit us frequently. I had never been lived without my mom and it was the first time where she was leaving us. Dad was upset; I was in situation where not able to concentrate on my study. Dad was also not able to focus on their business; business was going down day by day.  There were all the facility has been arranged but still the shadow of my mom was not there. Before 1987 starts mom visited back to us. This time she was looking much better her check up has been done and doctors concluded that she is now fit and fine. I was happy because now mom is with me, who was my inspiration, and dad’s strength. Once again life become normal and was living happy life. One night just before 1^st January mom started feeling sick, we took her to the hospital but it was late. She died due to breath stroke in night. Those days medical were not on their pick, Dad went under shock, and I was feeling loneliness. That time I was completely out of focus. Not able to concentrate on my study. My friends came to know this situation and they started visits at home. At collage they never leave me alone. As we all know time is the best medicine for all illness, same happened with me. Gradually I came out of the shocked stage the same theory worked on dad as well. But it helped me more and driven my life into wonderful arena towards life. Where I met with my special friend. I was not sure these things will turn out on big trouble later on. Aakash u needs to be stop there.

1991 -92:

It was the time of mid nineties, time was changing rapidly and government has announced open door policies. Business and India both were growing. Crime graph in Mumbai was also on high. I have finished my graduation and already joined dad’s business. We were expending our business in manufacturing domain as well. Gradually was not that much in touch with my friends. Some time Bharat called me and visit me at home. But that was also like once in month. All my friends were living their own life and I never thought that I would meet them in near future. We already started our full flag office in kolaba area. Dad assigned manufacturing responsibilities on my shoulder. We need a staff and we gave advertisement in local news paper. One day Nisha and Aafeerin both drop by my office for an interview. That day I went to Surat to look out for land acquisition where we can start over manufacturing unit. Next day when I came back my assistant said yesterday couple of candidate came and they drop their resume. I said them call them on Saturday for an interview. I also suggested her to send invitation to all candidates who has sent their profile to us.

Saturday Morning; I went to office little late saw candidates are already waiting in the office. Suddenly I saw couple of girls and I fascinated. I saw Nisha and Afreen there. They also shocked to see me. They were the first candidate who reached to the office. I was just wondering why Nisha drop by weather she just came here to say hello or is she looking for job? as she was belonging form the reach family, I was able to understand the situation of afreen who was coming from ok kind of background. But it was almost long time where we have not met. Well it was past. I called Nisha first, she entered with the same old style smile but there were something which was confusing me. I asked her about her life and where was she after the graduation. She said things are fine with her and she got married, I said that’s fine. She said she just drop by to say hello, I knew that she is bluffing and she immediately said if possible then can we meet over the lunch on Sunday with all friends. I said I won’t mind but I am not in touch with every one. Only Bharat is in touch. She said she will arrange rest of the thing.

Sunday Morning:

As Nisha has arranged the get together I went to the place where we have decided to meet. I entered into restaurant saw bunch of old buddies were there, I saw nisha came up with her husband, Dipti came alone but she was pregnant, Raheman has lost his hair was looking like uncle, Bharat was the same chap use to be in collage days, he also shown up with his wife Radha. All of them chatting and enjoying, I joined them and everyone was happy caz we all met after long time. I asked Nisha where is Aafreen, she said Afreen won’t be able to come as she got some urgent work at home. We discussed and moved back in collage days. I asked Nisha about she and Afrin to shown up the office, everyone looked at me like I have asked a wrong question. Nisha mentioned that she and Aafreen came for an interview in the same building where my office is located and they found I m based out there so they came down. Nisha also mentioned that she is not keen to do job, she is wanted to do it just to kill the time. I asked her what about Aafreen, she said Aafreen got the job on the same building the company named patel exports. I don’t know but I started feeling good. We all finished our lunch and decided to meet up once in month. While in the moving back from the restaurant, Nisha came to me and said thanks to join. I didn’t got her point and on the same time I could have stop my mind horses, which turned gradually curious horse………………..

Aakash you made a mistake to join that meet..
