Chapter 15
"Can I call you?" I messaged Sapna. I didn't want her parents to know that we had started talking to each other. That would spoil everything.
After a few minutes my cell phone buzzed. "Yes, you can call now, but I won't be able to talk for long," came her reply.
"Hi Sapna," I started the conversation.
"Hello," she answered.
"I love you." There was silence.
"Ok. Forget all these now," I realized this was no time for romantic chit chats. "Is your mom at home?"
"Could I have called had she been at home? She has gone to Dad's office."
"What?" I squealed. This meant that I couldn't meet his dad today. It would be tough facing both mom and dad at the same time. I had planned to talk with each of them separately, but if they were together, there was no room for a one- on -one discussion.
Sapna seemed surprised by my reaction. "What happened? Any problem?" she queried.
"Nah. Not a problem. I will talk to you later. I just remembered there is an important task at hand."
I disconnected the call and thought for a while. When Plan A fails, you should always revert to Plan B. The problem in my case was, there was no Plan B. I was so sure of Plan A that I had ignored the probability of it failing.
However, if there was no Plan B, I had to device a Plan C now.
I called Nandini, "Hey, are you going to meet Mr Ray today?"
"Yes. I am going with Shahbaaz," she replied.
"Ok. At what time?"
"We will be leaving in an hour," she answered.
"Cool. I will go with you too," I said.
She hesitated, "Thanks Nitin. You are really a great friend, but we do not want to be a burden on you."
"It's not a burden. I will accompany you, that's no problem for me," I had to go.
"Ok," she agreed, "Let's meet in an hour near the Petrol Pump. I will pick you up in my car."
