Girl in Rains Part 5..........


June 2006

Mushraan was playing in the garden and as soon as he saw Anushree, he came running and hugged her. She planted a kiss in his cheek and took him in her arms.

There was a medical breakthrough that time. Plague drugs got a nod in the market and the epidemic had a cruel death due to the invention of effective medicines.

Pfizer came into the limelight again as it emerged as a leading player in the market due to the invention of plague medicine. Arjun was impressed and he was certified as Champion leader. He thought Anushree was responsible for the success as she had put in enormous efforts for this theory to work out. The experiments, the conversation to the various drug companies, getting data from the market would not be easier if it was not for Anushree.

Arjun thought he would surprise her with a dinner treat. His cell beeped. Smilingly, he answered the call, His face changed the color. He donned the jacket and immediately stormed out of his office. He was not in a stable mind to drive but then he forcefully pulled his car and reached “The new urban Hospital.”
After checking with the nurse, he stood in front of ICU. He was in a hurry and did not inform anyone in the office. It was sheena, Arjun's wife who was fighting for her life. It was third time that she was getting seizure. This time it was massive. His cell rang. One, two, three and it was four miss calls from Anushree. Anushree wanted to congratulate on her boss's victory. She was not aware of the mess that had caught Arjun this moment. 

Doctor came out of the ICU and told that she had very little time and struggling with her life. Arjun was in tears. Arjun wanted his wife to know of his victory. He thought he would take her to some place and spend nice vacation with her and his 2 year old son. Now how was he going to explain it to his little son? He must be in school now, busy with his studies. Scheme of thoughts ran in his mind and his eyes went to his cell phone. Seeing miss calls from Anushree, He thought he wanted to share this with someone and she would be the right person. He dialled her number.

Anushree was alarmed at the scene. She took her car and was there right on time.
Arjun was happy to see her. He told her everything and asked her if she can do him favour. As he would be with her wife, He needed someone to pick Rehaan, his son from the school. She immediately volunteered. She was deeply sorry for Arjun seeing him in this condition.

The funeral ceremony went off well. Arjun was not in a condition to see or speak to anyone who came by.
Back in Children's home, Mushraan started going to school. Anushree visited the home in the weekends. She funded for his academics. Martha was delighted to find Anushree at her place. The kind of warmth and affection she poured in each of the children was remarkable.

Months passed, Anushree tried her best to pull Arjun from his current state. He looked beaten and pale as if he lost his sleep.

September 2006

The rains in Mumbai did not get tired. It was pouring cats and dogs and the climate was chilly. As it was Saturday and she had finished her work at home, she was browsing through the medical journals. She was hungry and she made vegetable sandwiches and cup of coffee for herself. She called Jennie and gave her the update on her life. Suddenly she got a call from Martha saying Mushraan wants to see her. Heavy pours looked insignificant and she was all smiles to meet the little boy.

Reaching there, she gave chocolates and cakes that she bought on her way to all the children.
She was in Martha's office. Anushree asked how Mushraan was doing in school and if any financial assistance is required, she will always be there. Martha felt a glow of contentment. She told her that she wanted to discuss something important and it is related to Mushraan. Anushree was all ears. She thought Martha found someone who would adopt Mushraan and was very sure that he would make them proud. Ofcourse, he was a great boy who can only bring joy to one's family.

But hearing to what Martha said, She was astonished for a second. She did not wait longer and came back to her place. She did not know what to say, how to answer Martha.

“Martha wanted Anushree to adopt Mushraan.”

Her door bell rang. She thought it would be Jennie. She had a habit of seeing from the eyehole before opening the door. And there he was. Standing outside was Aditya Krishnan. She was shocked. What on earth has got him? He spoilt everything and he has got an audacity to come to her place. Who does he think he is? What he wants from her now? Witness for his marriage with his new love interest or want me to accompany her for shopping or WHAT?

He was drenched in the rain. The Man she loved once trusted more than herself stood in front of her. It was aching to see him. He was looking thinner may be because of hectic job or the girl who is giving him sleepless nights.

She was not in a mood to listen to him. She slammed the door shut in outright frustration and screamed GET LOST. She couldnt digest the words which came from his mouth. Aditya wanted her back into his life. He realized his mistake in getting involved with the woman who is a bitch. Here she was struggling with her life to make the ends meet and this person did not have a heart to get back to her. Now when he lost it, he wants her back. How selfish of him?

She threw herself in her bed and slept for a while. Meanwhile her cell phone was constantly ringing. She did not want to speak to anyone. All she wanted was to hug her pillow and get some rest.

After 2 hours, She could see 20 miss calls from Arjun. She was in trouble she thought. Making a call on Saturday was unlike him. But it could be an emergency. Pfizer is in trouble but looking at the financials and debt free company, it cannot be the reason. Keeping her thoughts at rest, she called him. Arjun asked her if everything is fine. He was worried as she did not take his call. She said her head was paining and she had kept her cell in silent.

Pfizer was very much in safer side. Only her efforts reached stars. She was promoted as a country head - Marketing and posting was in US. She had to be in US for at least 5 years. 

Now Destiny offered her 3 Situations -

1. Mushraan ready to get adopted
2. Her ruthless selfish husband wants her back.
3. Long awaited promotion smiling at her.

Final Part follows on Saturday.......Lets Check out how Anushree's life gets unfold..:)

PURPLE HIBISCUS – The fragrance of Hope and Freedom will be etched in your hearts forever

“I wanted to tell Mama that it did feel different to be back, that our living room had too much empty space, too much wasted marble floor that gleamed from Sisi’s polishing and housed nothing. Our celing was too high. Our furniture was lifeless: the glass tables did not shed twisted skin in the harmattan, the leather sofas’ greeting was a clammy coldness, and the Persian rugs were too lush to have any feeling. But I said, “You polished the etagere.” " The above text appears when Jaja and Kambili return from Nsukku, their Aunty Ifeoma’s house, and witness their place as dull and lacking warmth even though the house glistened like a palace. The warmth that Aunty Ifeoma’s house had carried during the days they spent despite having a nondescript house and where they prayed every day for Peace and Laughter. Laughter among all the things. Because Laughter was valued in their house everyday despite living with shortcomings something that Kambili hardly got to experience in own h

Schedule joy: A Crucial Tip That Kept Me Sane

  Though there are self-care practitioners, influencers and life coach who practice and encourage people to practice self-care, we don’t practice it ourselves until there is a severe push or introspection. The precursor to start a habit is always our own willingness to practice it. We should fully be consumed with the idea to be able to produce it in full force. You must have heard buy first, pay later. Here also you need to buy the idea of the habit first but the difference is once the habit is formed and sustains in your routine, you are getting paid by its multi-fold benefits. My cousin and I had a conversation just recently when he was in India. A chance question sent me on the lane of introspection. I was absently gazing at nothingness when he asked me mainly because I was not able to produce a suitable reply. Firstly, I stared in disbelief for the question was unusual and secondly that made me go inward to seek answer and put forth as a justified reply. A simple question it w

Positivity in Tee: Reading between the Errands

  You cannot run from positive affirmations even if you think you have run out of them.   They will come, looking for you. All you have to do is keep your eyes wide open and graciously receive them with warmth and care. They can come to you at any moment and from any quarter perhaps, while running errands like when the momentum has picked up in you to array the disarray in your child’s wardrobe. When that happens, you treat them as a little note, an epiphany or a sacred sign from the universe and insert them as a key that locks itself into your mind with an audible click, only to unlock a change in you and get reflected in every journey you embark. When your little one’s Tees mouth affirmations, you cannot just run away without glancing at it. Start small, dream big, repeat – Starting small and repeating them with consistency is so underrated these days. So much of today’s world is rooted in instant gratifications and making it big in a wink of time. Small, incremental progress is th
