Chapter 2 - Re-live

After finishing all the important work in Mumbai, Lucky wishes to return to his family at the earliest. Anand mailed Lucky his flight ticket. His solicitor will finalise all the agreements with the landowner. He won't wait for that. He packed all his luggage and left the apartment.

Lucky: Hello, father. How are you all?

Dev: Yes we are good. Where were you, son? No call since last week. We were so worried about you. Then Andy informed me that you had already launched six showrooms back-to-back.

Lucky: Yes, father.

Dev: Congratulations son. I am so proud of you. If you had taken over my textile business it would have been relaxing for me too.

Anand: Yes, they have assured it. That design will be ready by then.

Two months passed. The Bose family reached Mumbai for the inauguration of the new store. Lucky has already booked a hotel near his showroom where his mother Renuka, father Dev, brother Bharat aka Bunny, and younger sister Girija aka Gini will stay for the Navagraha puja at his new showroom.

Renuka called Lucky: Hey son.

Lucky: Hello Ma. When are you all going to reach Mumbai?

Renuka: Hopefully tomorrow by 6 PM.

Lucky: I will be at the airport to receive you all.

Renuka: Sure. Lucky, is everything prepared for puja?

Lucky: Puja is the day after tomorrow. A few more arrangements need to be made by today.

Renuka: Have you hired new staff members?

Lucky: Yes, Ma. Their training has been completed. See you tomorrow.

Lucky reaches the airport to receive them: Hey Gini.

Gini runs towards Lucky and hugs him, while Bunny comes from behind and hugs him too.

Gini: Tomorrow puja wao.

Lucky: Let's go to see Mumbai.

Renuka: Aren't you busy today?

Lucky: No Ma. Everything is done. Let's go. What say, Baba?

Dev: Let's go, son. We seldom get together like this.

All enjoyed the day by sightseeing. They reached the hotel by evening. Lucky also booked a room for himself too. The next day, Puja went well. The Bose family was to leave the city the next day after puja. Lucky went with them to the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminal airport to see them off. They have a flight at 5 PM. It is 3 PM, so Lucky has a bit of chit-chat before they leave.

Gini: Borda, when will you come?

Lucky: Yes, three more months sweety than back to Kolkata. 5 more showrooms will be opened in three months.

Dev: That's excellent news, Lucky.

Bunny and Gini hugged their elder brother before leaving.

Lucky went back to his apartment after they left.

Within three months, Lucky opened 6 new showrooms in place of 3.

Anand had been handling everything in the head office for the past year. He is tiredly called Lucky.

Anand: Bruh! When are you planning to come back?

Lucky: Yes, by next week. Book my flight tickets bro.

Oh, how is the housework going?

Anand: Yes, everything is done. As per your instructions, an office room has been made, attached to your bedroom. But why is a home office Lucky?

Lucky: I want to work from home so that our employees don't recognize me.

Anand: But why Lucky, you are the founder and CEO. Then why?

Lucky: Nothing like that. I am a very shy person, you know.

Anand: Okay, the boss is always right. So, once I book your ticket, I will mail it to you.

Lucky was busy with building his career, he could barely find time for himself nor his family. However he loves and respects his family. He wishes to return to his family at the earliest. Anand mailed Lucky his flight ticket. His solicitor will finalise all the agreements with the landowner. He won't wait for that. He packed all his luggage and left the apartment.

Lucky: Hello, father. How are you all?

Dev: Yes we are good. Where were you, son? No call since last week. We were so worried about you. Then Andy informed me that you had already launched six showrooms back-to-back.

Lucky: Yes, father.

Dev: Congratulations son. I am so proud of you. If you had taken over my textile business it would have been relaxing for me too.

Lucky: But Father Bunny is there for your business. Moreover, why don't you think that we have expanded a new branch?

Dev: But my son started looking after this textile business too. I don't want to hear anything.

Lucky: Father, I am coming home tomorrow, then we will discuss it. I have left the apartment. Tomorrow I have a flight at 9 AM and will reach there by noon.

Dev: Where are you staying now son?

Lucky: I am now in a hotel near the airport.

Dev: I will inform others. By the way, son, the new house is almost ready. We can shift them any day. One fine day, we can do puja and enter the house.

Lucky: Yes, father, we will do it. Fix any day you want.

Dev: Yes, son, we will do it at the earliest. Take care, son.

Lucky: Yes, father, take care and goodnight.

Lucky reached Kolkata airport from where his car was waiting at the pickup area. He got in and the car started. The driver has been working with them for the last ten years. He was on the way to their Gariahat house where they are presently living. This house was made by Dev's father. It is a bit small for five family members and three housekeepers.

It was already time when Lucky was to reach home but he didn't. Dev was having a bad feeling. He thought of calling Lucky.

Dev was feeling upset as Lucky delayed joining his business.

Dev: Hello son, have you landed?

Lucky: Yes father, I will be reaching home in one hour.

Dev: Okay, son, come home safely.

Lucky: Yes, father. I am in the car, don't worry.

Lucky was happy to get back to the city after one year. Suddenly, everything went dark in front of his eyes after he heard a huge crushing sound. He was unable to feel anything, whether it was a pain or what it was. His whole body went numb. He could hardly move any of his body parts. However, he could hear a siren sound coming from far away before he completely passed out.

When he opened his eyes, he was in a nursing home bed. Renuka stayed in the nursing home all day during this time. Everything has turned upside down in the life of the Bose family. Anand stayed by their side as a true friend. He has to run around from meeting the best doctors in the city to calling the best doctors in India along with somehow trying to manage the business in the absence of Lucky.

After two weeks he opened his eyes. Everybody got back in their sense of relief after Lucky got consciousness.
