Chapter 85: You Had Excellence In You
Sonal helped carry Jasmine's bag, then everyone stepped outside of the hospital. The girls waved and watched as General Gevan Arora and his assistants were driven by one of the Arora family driver, as for the guys they went in a taxi. All roads leads to the airport.
When the cars were not in sight anymore, Zara hugged Sonal and Jasmine before she entered the back seat of her car. Where to miss Zara? her driver asked. To the art studio please, she replied.
Sonal and Jasmine entered Sonal's car with Sonal's things. Is it to the Singh's Mansion or to Mehra TV miss Sonal? Sonal's driver asked. That would be Mehra TV please Sonal replied.
Sonal! your work place! is this how you want to take care of me? by taking me to your work place first? Jasmine asked. Jass my time on air is only one hour, and lucky for us, am on the morning entertainment show.
Today is a Friday, we can leave work or stay behind to assist the maintenance team if we wish. But you and I would leave the studios immediately after the live show. That should be 9 am, is that okay by you her majesty? Sonal asked teasingly.
They both laughed together afterwards. As they were laughing, Sonal's phone began to ring, it was from her mum, madam Shruti. She picked and said Namaste mum. Namaste Child, just calling to check up on you and ask how Jasmine is and about Zara's mum, is she better now?
Mum, am fine, as for Jasmine, she is currently in the car with me, she has been discharged, well for Zara's mum, the doctor said she needed much rest, she would be in the hospital for 5 days before we discharge her, but she is stable and okay now.
Mum, there is something really important that I would like to discuss with you. What is it dear? madam Shruti asked. Well it has something to do with Zara's mum and the women's town meeting, but it's not something we can discuss on the phone, when I get home, it would be best we talk about it then, Sonal replied.
Okay dear, please give the phone to Jasmine? I want to speak to her as well. Okay mum, will do, Sonal replied. Jasmine here, Sonal gave her the phone and said, my mum wants to speak to you. Jasmine collected the phone from Sonal and spoke into the phone, Namaste aunty.
Namaste Jasmine, so glad you out of the hospital now, hope you very much okay? Yes aunty, feeling much better, thank you, Jasmine replied. Well you take good care of yourself, why don't you come home with Sonal tonight, so you can have dinner with us, I would love that.
Okay aunty I will, thank you ma, Jasmine replied and handed the phone to Sonal. Okay mum, see you later this evening bye, Sonal said and hung up the phone. Your mum invited me for dinner, seems I would be at your place later this evening, Jasmine spoke to Sonal.
Well why don't you just stay over, you can even stay at the Arora mansion till your family comes back from Saudi Arabia, you need the company Jass, and I miss my best friend so much, Sonal then hugged Jasmine.
Okay I will, Sonal, thanks, I miss my best friend too, Jasmine replied before the stopped hugging. Then she continued, but we have to go to the Singh's mansion to get my clothes and other necessities first. You welcome Jass but that would be later, Sonal replied.
The driver drove into the parking lot of Mehra TV and parked. Before Sonal and Jasmine alighted from the car, Sonal told him she won't be long, that he should wait behind, and not go and come like he normally does. Alright miss Sonal the driver replied.
Usually Sonal and her colleagues uses the company car and driver when they are at work, the reason why her driver usually drives back to the Arora mansion or run errands for madam Shruti after he had dropped off Sonal at work in the morning.
Jasmine left her things at the back seat of the car except her phone, which she took along with her. As she and Sonal got inside Mehra TV, before they reached the entertainment studios, Jasmine's phone beeped, indicating a text message.
Her phone was switched off all this while she was admitted in the hospital, Ajay ensured that. Now she is hale and hearty reading her text message. As she read the message, she began to smile, she was happy so much so that she did not hear when Sonal called her name.
Girl what's making you so happy that you didn't even hear me call you? Sonal tapped Jasmine and continued, God bless whoever is making you smile, I haven't seen you this happy in a long time not since Ro.... Sonal almost mentioned Rohit's name but stopped just in time, she wouldn't want to remind Jasmine with bad memories of him.
But Jasmine finished it for her instead by saying Rohit, don't worry Sonal, that Scumbag cannot take away my Joy, he did it before once, I won't let him succeed anymore, am a strong woman, you a great influence Sonal.
Happy to hear that Jass, good riddance to bad rubbish, and you also a great friend too, you always give me the courage to stay positive, but now let's focus on you, come on girl spill the Interesting news, Sonal replied.
Why don't you take a guess, Jass told Sonal. You magically won 1 billion rupees, Sonal responded. No not that, try again, and why would you think that anyway? Jasmine asked. Well because you always make a joke out of it that it would be cool to win 1 billion rupees one day, just go ahead tell me, Sonal replied.
Okay I will tell you, remember the application I sent to Jah Company? Yes I remember, what about it, Sonal asked. Well I just received a message now to come for an interview Wednesday next week, Jasmine replied. Sonal with excitement replied, Girl I knew it that you had excellence in you, you will make a great management trainee at Jah Company.
Thanks Sonal, Jasmine mentioned. You welcome Jass, Sonal replied. By this time they had reached the entertainment studios. Jumpa was the first person they saw. Jumpa was excited to see them both especially Jasmine.
The three of the them hugged each other briefly. Then Jumpa said, am glad to see you alright now Jasmine, and here in the studios with us especially. Thanks Jumpa, Jasmine replied. At this point Sonal looked at her wrist watch, then she said, girls I would have loved to stay here and chat but I have the morning show today, almost time.
Don't Worry Sonal I have the noon show today, you can leave Jasmine with me, she is in good hands, Jumpa mentioned to Sonal. Jass, I will be done in an hour's time, you can relax at the entertainment lounge with Jumpa alright, later girls, Sonal said and left.
Later Sonal, the girls replied and proceeded to the entertainment lounge to catch up and have fun. When they got to the entertainment lounge, about two other colleague of Jumpa and Sonal were there, though they were from the news casting department. They greeted Jumpa and Jasmine who responded to them accordingly.
At Delhi University....
Desha and her friends had just finished their afternoon lecture, exams were fast approaching, they were heading back to their hostels, but Desha seems to be lost in thoughts, she was so lost in thought that when her friends called her, she did not hear, she kept on moving.
The previous week before the Chairman of the convocation planning committee travelled to Saudi Arabia for one of his sons, Satish's wedding, he had made arrangements for Vikrom, Desha and the others in their category to have access to the meeting room, but as it is, the outgoing student chairman has withheld the keys.
He even completely shut them out from having meetings with him and his student team. The only time Vikrom, Desha and their team got to have meetings in that room was when the University body wanted to know their progress so far.
Both the outgoing student and incoming student council members were supposed to work together, not divide just because professor Vijay Singh was in absentia.
Desha looked so lost that she bumped into the young son of the president of India, Dr. Raja Nath-Kovid. Her friends tried to warn her, but, it was already too late. Her books fell down after the bump, am really sorry she said politely to the man in his mid twenties, she had no idea who he was, he wore a disguise so nobody could recognise him.
No miss, he said, I should be the one apologising, I am sorry. At this juncture, the both of them bent down to pick the books but Raja's friend dragged him away before he got the chance to help her. As he was being pulled away, he said, sorry again miss. In no time, Raja and his friend continued walking to their destination.
Desha's friends had to help Desha instead, as they picked up the books, they said grudgingly, he was nice to say sorry but he could have at least help you pick up your books as well, after all he wasn't looking were he was going that is why he bumped into you two.
Just let it go, Desha replied them, I was also at fault here you know, I was lost in thought, so I bumped into him too, besides he was polite enough to apologize, you could see very well that he was about to help me with my books but his friend dragged him away for reasons best known to him
By this time, they had finished picking up her books and now continued their journey to their hostel. One of her friends then asked her, you mentioned you were lost in thoughts, and it is so much that we called you several times, tried to warn you of that guy you bumped into, still you were not alert.
But that is not my point, my point is, what is getting you so worked up, that you not even present here mentally?. You didn't even concentrate in class, what are you thinking about? The other friend asked, the 3rd friend then said, Desha we here for you, you can tell us okay! Okay girls, but let's get to the hostel first, it's just 2 blocks away, Desha responded.
Raja and his friend entered into the senate building of the university, they were supposed to meet with the outgoing student council president, they were childhood friends. Raja is a PhD holder, he has a PhD in political science, but his childhood friend changed his majors 3 times at the university, that is why he is still in his final year.
He got elected as the student council chair the previous year, because he was so brilliant, no matter the number of times he switched his major because he was indecisive, he still remained the best, he even has a ground breaking record of being the overall best student in all the history of the University.
Abhishek, you shouldn't have dragged me away like that, come on you saw I was at fault as well when we bumped into each other, Raja told his friend. Raja you know we in disguise, I really don't want those girls all over us, if they know our true identities, you the president son, I am the vice president son, Abhishek replied.
By the time they entered the elevator in the senate building, they were alone. When the elevator was in the first floor, a lecturer entered, they greeted him and stopped discussing their private affairs immediately. On the 2nd floor, they exited the elevator while the lecturer continued to his destination in the upper floor.
