The next day started as usual. Me working in the kitchen, and preparing food for my hubby. As I entered the dining room, and served my hubby with the breakfast, he said to me “are you serious with your driving classes?” I readily said yes. He asked me why suddenly. I told him that I might travel frequently if I get into that business that we were about to start. He was not so happy with me starting a business on my own. He said,” why do u want to strain yourself. It’s a bad world out there. You better stay back at home and be happy”. I was so irritated, and replied “I am trying to be happy, and that’s why I am going to start a business”. He looked at me, and said that he will send a driver to teach me. I was amazed when I heard him saying that he will send one of his men to teach me. I asked him again, “what did u say?” He again replied the same that he will send one driver. I didn’t know what to say. I just said OK. He left for work. I made some calls and informed my friends about my improvement. They felt happy for me, and even congratulated me.
After some time, someone was at the door. I opened the door, and happened to see a guy in his mid 20s standing there.
He was dark, and well built. His height must be around 6’2. Had broad shoulders, and an attractive face, with an amazing eye sight. His voice was manly, and was husky. He sound polite and seemed gentle.
“Yes!!”
“Hello madam, I am Raju, and I was sent my Mr. Kumar.”
“Mr. Kumar sent you for what”
“He asked me to teach driving to his wife. Are you his wife?”
“Oh hi. It’s me. Come on in”
“It’s ok. I will wait outside near the car. You can come anytime. Just give me the keys”. Saying this, he got the keys from me and went near the car. He started to inspect the car and was ready for me.
I was surprised by my Hubby’s quick response, and was surprised to see such a young guy to be sent by my hubby.
I was in my night dress. So I changed myself to a salwar and I was about to walk out of my house, when the phone rang.
“Hello, who is it?”
“It’s Rekha. Aren’t you coming now for the meeting?”
“Oh, I completely forgot. I actually started for my first driving class.”
“Oh oh. Try to come today. It’s important.”
“Ok. I will somehow come.” I hung up the call, and went in to my room again to change myself to a sari. When I go for the meetings I try to dress nicely.
I came out of my house, and told Raju that we can start. I sat in the front seat and watched him drive. I also told him that I am going for the meeting. He was explaining things while he was driving. As the place came, he dropped and was waiting for me. I went in, and that day we made some good decisions regarding our business. We finalized our business that day, and decided to essence extraction and flavors. Some already had some idea. So my job at first was to invest some, and learn quickly the business from them. I liked the spirit within us, when some of us said, that we will become top business people in course of days. I was very happy.
While returning, Raju noticed that I was happy.
