The Journey Of Love (#2)

9. Holi celebration I

Sid's point of view

"Preeti..."

"Preeti..." I called her fifth time but there is no response from her side.

When I awaken she was not my side and I haven't seen her since morning. I walked out from my room and climbing down from the stairs while rolling my white shirt sleeves up to my elbow, when saw one of our made.

"Hey...Have you seen Preeti..?" I asked her.

"She was in a kitchen when I last saw her, If you want I can look for her for you sir." She said.

"No..It's fine..I will find her myself. " I said and climbed down from the stairs and walked towards the kitchen.

I entered the kitchen and looked for preeti. But she is not there except cooks. They stopped their work when they saw me.

"Do you want anything, sir..?" one of them asked me.

"No..Please continue your work." I said and left from there.

Where is she? She was not feeling well last night instead of taking rest she is working.

I was passing through the hall when I saw keerti walking towards her room talking to someone on phone. She is wearing white suit and salwar.

Today is Holi so guests are arriving to celebrate. I wanted to wish her in the morning but she is not beside me when I woke up.

I wanted to be the first one rubbing holi colours on her soft cheeks but I don't know where she is.

If someone apply holi colour on her before me I swear I will not leave the person.

"Hey..Do you know where is Preeti?" I asked her.

"Hold on." She said to the person on the line.

"Yes, bhayi.."

"Do you know where is Preeti?" I asked her again looking around.

"Why..? Do you miss your morning kisses?" She teased me.

She never leave the chance to tease us.

I glared at her because I am not in mood of teasing.

"Fine..fine...I don't know where is she. Look for her at backyard..May be she was there. " she said.

I nodded my head and walked to the backyard. When I entered at our backyard, there are so many people dressed in white. Some of them our investors, business partners and Dad's friends.

Dad is talking with his friends while drinking thundayi. Kids are throwing colours and water on eachother. Some boys and girls are dancing on dj.

I looked around for any sign of my wife but I didn't find her.

"Happy holi Siddharth Sir." My manager Atul Mehra wished me.

"Happy holi Mehra.." I wished him back while looking around for Preeti.

"Sir I want to talk to you about new tender in textile which we just offered from Walters textile." He said try to catch my attention.

"What about them." I asked him still looking around.

"They want us to pass their cloth material without checking and for that they offer us double amount." He said.

"Kapoor groups is a brand itself I don't want to let anyone ruin its name for just few million. Don't pass the material further until its quality check and if they make any fuss cancel the tender. We have already many tenders line up. It won't much affect our textile business." I said looking at him and then again look for Preeti in the crowd.
