Yes This is She......... !
Someone had been knocking on the door, I Stopped Nora (Servant), and said I'll check, as I had been expecting someone.
As soon as I opened the door, there she was Smiling, she came and hugged me tightly, Oh ! Mom, I am so happy, she picked me up in excitement and said the day has come, for which she had been waiting for long.
She was chosen as the best young director award in her final year graduation course in film direction and was also getting a chance to work with famous Hollywood Film makers in the new film.
Anjali Smiled, Unnati, get Freshened up, we'll dine together.
OK Mom was the reply.
Is she the same girl , same excitement, similar energy, and confidence. The reminiscent past came in the front of the eyes of Anjali (Mother).
Oh mom I am so happy, Anjali hugged her mother ( Same emotional fervor), and picked her up, C'mon Anjali what happened?
Mom do you know that we won the match (Cricket), again ?,
Oh Mom, How do I tell you, how exciting it was !
We were on the verge of losing but Rahul hit an Sixer on the last ball and we won the match.
Mom, do you know that I have been selected as a Commentator for the Inter school cricket tournament, and Mom............
Anjali Could not stopped herself and started like ......................
( Mom Said), Anjali, you are aware your Father does not like this
Anjali: oh Mom, I know you are always there with me so I need not worry at all.
Anjali: Mom, I am very hungry, what's there on the menu today ?
Mom, you freshen up, I'll serve the food.
Anjali took the lunch and then went in her room, Anjali's room was full of posters of famous cricketers, cricket equipments etc. there were even some pictures of Anjali on the cricket playground.
Anjali finishes her study, and get's ready to go out.
Mom, where are you going Anjali ?
Anjali, Mom it's semifinal match today in the colony.
Anjali's mom is afraid..........
Anjali – Mom, I'm getting late and I know you will handle Father., Bye Mom !
Mr. Shardul, entered home while Anjali was leaving, he asks Mom ! where's she going at this time.
Mom Lies that she's gone nearby to her friend house, and not to worry about the same.
Father – Look Meena (Anjali's Mom), I do not like this habit of Anjali, her habit of playing , mixing and roaming around with the boys, please make her understand, otherwise......... (some steps need to be taken).
Mom – I'll explain this to her
Anjali was totally different, how can she listen.......... she was making her own world and she was very happy in it.
The days passed by and Anjali, she was no normal girl, who could be bound and make compromise with her world; her dreams.
But, Finally she succumbed to her father's wish of getting married to a guy named Sameer.
Let me tell me something about Sameer, he's an innocent guy, very calm, introvert, and comes from a very rich, famous and affluent family.
Time was passing away but Anjali was missing her own world, her dreams (The cricket field), and she was getting tied in the new world of household chores, slowly and gradually she adjusted in her new life and became a favorite Daughter in Law and a good housewife.
Everyone was happy, and they wanted this to continue................ but what was Anjali's choice........ ?
After 2 years Anjali and Sameer were blessed with a beautiful girl child and they decided her name as "Unnati".
Unnati, was very luck y for Sameer's family and good news were pouring in from all the sides, like her Grandfather was awarded – an Industrialist award, Sameer was Promoted, and they acquired some other companies etc. and the profit margins stop up ........... etc. etc.
But was Unnati, was lucky for everyone?.......... for Anjali ?
Unnati was growing day by day, Sameer, now had to travel a lot, coz of business reasons.
Anjali used to get bored in her family mansion as she had nothing much to do.........
One day, while she was reading the newspaper, Anjali came across an advertisement for some auditions happening for commentators for an upcoming sports channel.
Anjali gave it a wide thought and then decided to take an chance, as she could not control herself.
She lied at the home and went for the auditions........ and she was amongst a few to be Selected.
She wasn't able to share this news with anyone at home.
One day sameer came back home from his tour and Anjali could not stop herself by sharing this news and finally she succeeded in convincing him for the opportunity.
Anjali was entering her own world, the main fear was that she shouldn’t be lost in this world.
Slowly Anjali started picking up on her performance.
Anjali was becoming famous and popular day by day and Sameer too was very happy for her, but also the clouds of insecurity have started forming in his mind.
They (Sameer & Anjali) started fighting like anything, day by day the situation was getting from bad to worse.
One day came, when the situation made Anjali, choose either of the two (Family / Career) !
On one hand there was her love and family, and on the other it was her world, her career.
She choose her career, she left her family with Unnati (her daughter).
She became so engrossed in her work that she forget all her problems.
Day by day she was getting busier and popular, she used to travel a lot and finally got settled in USA.
Unnati was growing up, and they both were happier together.
But ............. Unnati used to miss her father, when she used to see her friends with theirs.
Unnati was pursuing her Film – Direction course and her project (Film) was been chosen as the best project.
Anajli was lost in the past
Next day at the facilitation ceremony, when the coordinator announced for the award, perhaps this would be happiest moment of Unnati's life.
After the award ceremony Anjali told Unnati,
Unnati, today you have given me everything, tell me what do you want ?
Unnati replied, that she had a surprise for Anjali, and that she wanted her to meet someone.
Anjali saw someone standing back of Unnati, It was Sameer
Anjali gets shock of her life
Sameer walks towards Anajali
Unnati Says, mom, I am sorry, I searched for him on the internet, also I did not wanted to hurt your self esteem and so I decided not to tell you about this.
I called him to be an part of the biggest day of my life till date.
I wanted to share this day with you both.
Sameer – Anjali I do not know if at all you'll forgive me for all that has happened in the past.
I understand that I had been completely wrong in understanding you, your sentiments, your feelings.
I know that I should have been standing with you and been supportive of you, during the strenuous years, where you had been all alone fighting with the world and single handedly brought up Unnati and also managed your own career.
And today, whatever Unnati has achieved, it's all because of you and only you, deserve the credit for all this.
But Still I would like to say sorry.
There was a lot to say in Anjali's eyes .............. but she couldn't utter an word
The entire 20 years rolled backed in front of her eyes and she was speechless ..........
Anjali did not uttered an word, but her eyes said everything , that she had moved ahead in her life and there was no space for Sameer in her life ...................
And she was very happy in her life and did not repent on her decision.
