Episode 1 (the introduction)

There was Golden yellow light that seeped into the room, as the wind blew the curtains aired out and the wind chimes started to make a soft noise, a petite figure laid on the bed, as she twirled on the soft mattress trying to stop the light from troubling her, she said

Figure: will you stop bothering me, I am trying to sleep (she wined to herself)

But unfortunately for her the light was becoming harsher and harsher, which eventually led her to rub her eyes and get up in a upright position, she looked sleepy and groggy, and was angry as usual, oh how she hated mornings. She dreaded them, the early morning light would come in and wake her up, ruining all her dreams, and Sameera hated waking up to an incomplete dream.

As she came back to her senses she reached for the bed side table and grabbed the alarm clock, to check the time it was sharp 7:00 am

Sameera: oh shit !! (she yelled while slapping her hand on her head) I am late guruji is going to kill me for sure today. How can I be late that to today, shit, shit, shit

She ran towards the bathroom grabbing her blue patiala pants and a white tank top, a quick shower and a light breakfast that’s all she had time for, she had reach by 8 am, Today was a the day, the day that she was waiting for since a very long time, it was the Bombay Theater festival, all the known people around the world would be there to see plays put up by various theater groups, and the theater group that Sameera was part of Dream Star Productions was going to participate in the festival.

Meanwhile outside Kartik was busy preparing a nice omelets, toast and some coffee, knowing his daughter and her habit of never being on time, he had the stove running and the eggs ready, now all that was left was to serve breakfast as he lay the table and brought the food a rushing Sameera came out, with her hair tied in a messy bun, shocked to see the breakfast ready she asked in an amused tone.

Sameera: Wow handsome your in the mood today how come you cooked

Her dad smiled at her and said in a teasing way 

Kartik: what can I say I have a daughter who is perpetually late all the time, and today is her big day. I wouldn’t want her to go on an empty stomach, so I cooked

Sameera: haha funny dad

she mocked him while sitting, as she grabbed a toast and omelet and bit into it, while Kartik was browsing through the recent photos he had just clicked on his Nikon camera, as he saw the photos he said

Kartik: so sunshine are you all set,

Sameera: yes I am, I just hope everything turns out well, we have worked so hard for this.

Kartik: oh don’t worry you will be fine, just do your best and act with your heart

Sameera smiled and nodded, she was always encouraged by her father.
She got up to give him a quick hug and then said

Sameera: bye dad I’ll see you at 3 at the venue, and then after that we are going to the Thai palace at Hotel Kinston

Kartik nodded his head, and Sameera went rushing out of the house, trying to catch a rickshaw

Meanwhile on the other side of town, in a posh flat, a man was sitting and reading the morning news paper, waiting for his hot cup of coffee, that man was none other than Ishaan Malkani the owner of the best 5 star hotel in Mumbai, Hotel Kingston, As he turned the pages of the news paper, he heard a knock on the door and looked up

it was ram jinesh the servant

RJ: Sahib, there is a phone call for you from Tanisha mam

Ishaan: yes tell her that I would be out the whole day with Pari and Jai but will drop by the hotel in the evening

Rj: ji sahib

Rj left from there and Ishaan continued to read the paper, until he was disturbed by a loud good morning wish, a young girl in a pair of fuchsia shorts and a baby pink tee shirt came out and hugged him, she had the hugest smile on her face, as she sat herself on the adjacent chair he said

Ishaan: good morning princess,

Parisha: good morning bhaya, what does the paper say today (she asked in her bubbly voice)

Ishaan: nothing much, just reading about the stock markets that’s all, it has…. (he was about to speak when he was interrupted)

Parisha: stock market, huh?? Bhaya who cares about the stock market, tell me whats going on in bollywood, have they written anything about my favorite Ranbir (she said with a twinkle in her eye and sighed a bit)

Ishaan rolled his eyes, he thought reading about the entertainment section of the news paper in the morning was such a waste of time, but his baby sister thought otherwise, he smirked a bit and handed her the Bombay times and said

Ishaan: sorry princess, you will have to read that on your own, you know I am not interested in all this stuff

Parisha took the paper from him and started to browse through, in the mean time Jai came out and joint them for breakfast as he came and sat with his brother and sister he yawned and spoke

Jai: hey guys (he said in a sleepy voice)

Ishaan: some one had a long night?? (he said with a sarcastic tone)

This snapped jai out of his sleep, he rubbed his eyes and tried to cover up

Jai: no bhai, not a long night

Parisha: don’t lie Jai bhaya, you were out last night with that hot chick that you met at the bar (she teased him)

Ishaan raised his eye brows and then Jai made a face at her to shut her up and then said

Jai: no bhai.. I mean I was out but not with any hot chick… I mean (he hestitated)

Ishaan: relax Jai, you can go out with whoever you want just make sure that u get enough sleep and come on time to the hotel,

Jai nodded and then parisha asked

Parsha: bhaya where is mom and dad ??

Jai: (made a face and said) mom is out for some shopping

Ishaan: and dad’s gone to Vegas

Parisha made a sad face, she didn’t like this she hated it when she wouldn’t see her parents, she felt so neglected and sad, both her parents had no time only for them Ishaan noticed her sad face and put his arm around her and hugged and her and then said

Ishaan: princess don’t feel so bad its ok

Jai: (also tried to cheer her up and said) ya you have us

She smiled and nodded and then they all ate their breakfast and had a warm conversation amongst each other
