A CITY OF DREAMS

The story is based upon two women Rati & Rama, the one who helps giving the wings to the latter’s dreams and helped having her own identity in the new city. Rati is a very humble lady & has her own company, she works as a director of the company & is always eager to help anyone in need. Rama has just shifted to the new city in Rati’s neighborhood, trying to adjust herself alone with her two kids as husband was away for work, and will be back in a month or two.

Like every day, Rati came to sit in her balcony with a hot cup of tea, it was a beautiful weather today. Rati was working on the laptop & sipping her tea, suddenly she saw Rama running here & there after kids, and house chores, bit upset too. But she tried to concentrate on her work with her mind wandering towards Rama.

Next day again Rati, sat in her balcony with some hot tea and enjoying the weather and again she peeped in Rama’s house, where Rama could be seen talking to someone on the phone really worried & the sat with teary eyes and again fixing her mood for kids, what’s wrong thought Rati, this time she was really vulnerable & wanted to ask Rama is there any problem she can sort out but stopped herself & thought she should mind her own business. The whole day in the office too she couldn’t focus much.

Rati was returning from the work and suddenly she saw Rama running inside her home hurriedly, now Rati thought its time I should go to her, she went there & knocked on the door, she saw Rati surprisingly, wiping her tears. Can I come in, Rati asked? Rama said yes please & asked her to sit and made some hot tea with homemade snacks, they chatted and Rati finally asked Rama that she has been noticing her for few days, sometimes really upset even crying sometimes, what’s the matter if she feel like sharing. Rama said I just relocated here and don’t really know anyone & my husband is away too, so sometimes I feel really low and alone, nothing serious.

Rati said from now onwards she need not to feel alone as she’s always there whenever she needs a friend, Rama smiled! Rati was looking at her house, which was well decorated, and suddenly saw few pictures on the wall, which were especially portraits of women, they were so beautiful that no one could take off their eyes of them easily, not only this but few knitted & crochet designed things were also there. And Rati was mesmerized with the art she had done all over & she didn’t leave any chance to appreciate her beautiful work.

Rama was so happy and thrilled with all the praise she got. Rati now knew how she could help her feel better in a new city. Rati invited Rama for the dinner at her place. Rama smiled and said that she loved her gesture of making her feel so comfortable.

Next day Rama went to Rati’s house, it was so welcoming. Beautiful lighting in the house bringing the warmth in the ambience and a huge library with amazing dinner. A well spent evening with the wonderful host.
