The whole construction action is causing a huge disruption to the store. But maybe in the long run something good can come out of it.

Lets see how much info Taruni can gather from the inside. And will it serve any purpose?

Cold & Broken up

“You cant come if you have a job now” her mother was stern

“Its like a internship, I am not getting paid”

“Jo bhi hai raja kaise aaoogey aap”

“I have to I have to place orders for Board Exam prep texts and guides”

“To online kar lo na”

Her mother was especially pushy

Taaruni didn’t know why

It took her a week to realize, she hadn’t logged on to the store web cam in 4 days

When she did from her Towers Partners desk, she noticed there was nobody at 11:30 AM, Noon, 2 PM”

She texted Harkeerat

There was no response

She texted the new store assistants Anil and Deepak

Finally she called her mother

“Shop band hai kya?”

“Haan Harkeerat bhaisaab ko viral ho gaya hai”

“Ma, to koi aur chala jaata, we cant have it be closed for 4 days,”

“Beta its been closed for over a week”

“Koi gaya hi nahi?”

“Ladke Amit Deepak dono naye hai, Bhabhi and kids and I visited you, returned, and she got a cold, Tushar is on a business trip to Bangalore”

“Ma, shop band hai whole time?”

“Haan beta”

She texted Harkeerat’s wife and sent flowers and fruit and some drink mixes and cookies etc to his house”

She paced her cube stressing over how anyone can even give her an update, she called her mother

“Ma, aap please shaam ko jaakar at least one hour ke liye khol lengi? Store ko?”

“I don’t get home from work until 7, I have to be there for Pallavi”

“Ma, its just a COLD” she was irrational

“taroooo…. Its not a vegetable shop, book store hai”

“I KNOW… it wont take long, we will lose so much sales Ma”

“Aap is shop ko lekar kitna dimaag kharab karogey beta”

“Ma pleaseee I am begging you”

“Dekhti hoon”

“Nidhi was only able to visit the following evening, she was startled by all the rubble and broken up walls and TMT steel rods jutting out of the East side

The store front was dusty, and cold

Nidhi sat behind the register for 4 hours, and rang up a bunch of business

She spent another day wondering how she would tell her daughter

She finally texted

“East hai pata nahi South hai beta, waha kaafi saari toda todi ho rakhi hai”

Taaruni was getting ready for work when she saw it

Least he could do is let his dad visit and inform them. But he rejected the idea.

I am waiting to read how this blows up.

The guy shouldn’t have married. now that he has, I wish he respected her feelings.

His sister and BIL are insulting her and the guy hasn’t reacted to that yet.

Least he could do is not to treat legally married wife as sex toy.

Yes he is behaving arrogantly and cluelessly. His parents are going to shred him soon

Waiting eagerly now 🙇🏻‍♀️
