Award show

"Robert, check the flight timings and make sure it's in time . " . Meanwhile my Red Benz GLS was at the gate of Hotel Euphoria. I can already see the blinding lights and shutters of the cameras , flooding question of the journalists, expensive glasses clinking in cheers . It's the 21st annual convention of the " Bluemen's Youth Association " and I will be getting the award for " The Elite Female Icon " .
            "The night sure is going to be a long one." I mumbled as I neated my evening gown once more before getting out of the car .

                             Her dress

"Okay girlie let's slay" I thought to myself and plastered my best smile while walking through the hallway. There were round tables alinged neatly with gorgeous royal blue table cloth and fancy crockeries. As you would expect from an event by the most sophisticated and expensive association of all . I took a seat at my designated table .
              Guess I lost track of my thoughts again . It is happening more frequently these days . Maybe because of all the pressure at work . After the success of the most recent launch of the company . Media has been practically trying to squeeze into my schedule. Some went as far as following me . Tiring indeed , I sighed and got up from my seat as they announced my name .
                 My speech was short, given the web of thoughts running on the back of my head ,but well recieved as always. The media occupied quite the time from me - Opportunists . I was totally exhausted after two hours , moreover I have an 11 hour long flight journey after this .
                  The luggage was already packed last night . I was originally planning to go back to fetch the bags but thanks to Robert, he already brought them from my villa. I told the driver to drive towards the airport. I called Robert once again, just to make sure there was no media. I hurried through the processes.
                    "I can finally breath , eleven hours more to go " I thought to myself as I boarded the flight . About the rest of the flight, I slept through most of it .
                       I checked in my hotel and went to freshen up . Uhh ! Such a perfect bath! Today I have all the time of the world to do things leisurely. I checked my phone once I was done . I called back a few people and just in time called my mother. " Hello , pahuch k call karne ko ab naye se sikhau kya ? Call kyu nahi kiya ? " . " Arre maa I was about to call I just checked in and washed up "

( Hello , do I need to tell you again that you need to call me once you reach there? Why didn't you call me?)

               The bell rang , turns out breakfast is here. I dressed up once I finished breakfast. And I am ready for the day . I will be staying here for three whole days so I decided to start today with places nearby the hotel I was staying in . I decided against renting a car and walked around for some time . It was afternoon even before I knew it . I was on my way to a restaurant and I saw a crying child. She was crying so much, I approached her and asked her what was bothering her. Poor child has been seperated from her parents. I calmed her and took her to have lunch with me . She is so cute, a tiny body , beautiful brown curls, small pouty lips (which were a little chapped from all the crying ) , those big curious eyes and her teeny tiny voice . Innocence like this   will be lost one day under the influence of the real world then those eyes will not hold the purity it holds now. Melancholy was out done by the little girls cuteness. I played with her and bought her toys .
                It's almost evening , time for the real deal . I went to the police station and did the formalities . They call her parents, they were bawling their eyes out once they realised Pihu was not with them . I waited for her parents to arrive and went back to the hotel.
         

                  The next few hours were the most relaxing in years. I was thinking, imagining, analysing but amongst all these I couldn't shake off this one feeling, why is he taking so much time, if my calculations are right he should have taken the bait already . I always get this feeling of being so so close but not to the point of getting it. And this is taking all the patience I have got. A sudden ringing of my phone disturbed my line of thoughts . "When will you be back , beta?" . Turns out my home is missing me already. It makes me kind of happy that I am so important for my mother. My only regret however is that 'that person' is yet to be punished. But it won't be long before I will put him in his place - My mother's feet.

"Soon maa", I replied.
                
 

               ***Two days later***
      
        "Raat me hi jaagte hai ye gunahon k ghar inki rahe khole bahe jo bhi aaye idhar , hmmm " . I was packing my bags while humming songs . From now on only good things will happen , I smiled to myself . I called Robert " How are things there?" I asked . " Ma'am, I have reports for you once you come back  " ,he replied hesitantly. I hurried to the airport, given his tone of speaking , it must be something disappointing. *Sigh* Why can't I just relax for a few days. Robert was waiting for me at the airport, we got into the car and he started briefing me the matter .
