165 Not everyone calls you Ka
Vikram's mind wandered off for he started jotting down his ideas to create the perfect proposal ground for Akira. He wanted it to be as morable as possible for her. So he couldn't leave any margin for error. He wanted the whole experience to be as surreal as possible with the amalgamation of lights, music, flowers, candles and a bit of drama. He had prepared the perfect setting for it. After the romantic dance at the City center, he had planned to propose her at the rooftop of the sa building.
Everything was mapped in detail in his head to the T.
The only thing that was pending was the execution of it. He had set the decoration to match the the of her maroon gown dress. The contractors had been called, the dinsions of the place had been taken, a dummy version of the whole setup had been carved out already to perfection. All that he had to do now was to wait.
He held the ring in his hand and a smile etched on his otherwise profound face for he was lost in the land of dreams where she had already said yes to his proposal.
His trailing thoughts suddenly ca to an abrupt halt.
"Good evening Sir".
"Fresh juice for you. Ma'am had asked to send it to your room", Joey spoke in a very llowed tone while her eyes were busy scanning the entire desk.
"Thanks. Put it on the table", Vikram said coldly.
"Anything else that I can do sir", Joey asked politely.
"You can leave now".
"Ok Sir", Joey said and escaped Vikram's room and quickly ran towards the utility for she had so many things to be inford to David.

Katherine was busy checking the new dicines which so of the dicine representatives had given her for promotional purposes when she got a call from her friend Antares.
"Hi, Katherine".
"Hello, Antares. How are you?"
"Actually I need help from you again. A small one I promise though", Antares spoke a bit hesitatingly.
"Oh c' mon just tell already !!!", Katherine said and started wrapping up her work while on phone.
"Actually can you please help to pick up Regina from the violin classes too? I have so ergency here at the hospital".
"Oh, NO biggie. I will pick both of them. She can have dinner at my place and you can pick her up when you co back. Sounds good?", Katherine asked.
"Actually no need of all that trouble. You can just drop her at my place. My mom is there and she will take care of her food and everything else", Antares said.
"Ok sure thing !!!"
"Thanks again Katherine !!!", Antares said and kept the call.
Katherine then started from her clinic and reached the Music Arena where both Regina and Kate took violin classes. She picked them up and left for Regina's house first.
"So how was the class today?", Katherine asked while the two sat behind in the car.
"Swell", Kate replied and then continued whispering into Regina's ears and they both started giggling.
"Fine fine !!! It looks like I am not invited into your so-called girl talk huh", Katherine said and chuckled while the girls continued with their friendly banter.
A few minutes later Katherine reached Regina's place and dropped her in front of her door. She ca back and opened the car door and just when she was about to enter inside, she saw a car stopping next to her and before she could even keep a foot inside her own car, she heard him say her na.
"Katherine !!!"
"What are you doing here?"
"I should ask you the sa question Shawn", Katherine said, looking at him with her eyes filled with surprise.
"Well, I am here because I stay here. I moved in here last week itself", Shawn said and pointed at the house next to Regina's.
"I just ca by to drop my daughter's friend as her mom was busy at the hospital. Here is my little one", Katherine said and opened the back door of the car and asked Kate to co out.
"Say Hello to my friend Shawn".
"Hello, Uncle !!! I am Kate. Nice to et you".
"Nice to et you too Kate. How are you doing?"
"Umm... nothing much uncle. Just attending sumr hobby classes".
"I see".
"So you are a friend of my mom?"
"Yeah"
"Then how co I have never seen you at our place", Kate asked all innocently.
Shawn instantly couldn't answer and his gaze went up and he looked at Katherine who seed equally flabbergasted with Kate's question. He looked into her eyes for a while and then smiled at Kate and said,
"Well, that's because your mom was angry with . We beca friends again just recently".
"I see. Well, she is very unforgiving that way. A complicated soul you can say. Her heart is like a ninety-year-old lady's."
"What on earth are you speaking Kate?", Katherine reprimanded her.
Shawn couldn't suppress his laugh upon hearing Kate and said.
"Well I would agree upon that"
"Don't support her Swan", Katherine said and looked at him in a very displeased manner.
"Ok ok just kidding. Um... if you guys are free then would you like to have dinner at my place?", Shawn asked even though he was fifty percent sure that Katherine would deny it.
"Will we get Ice cream for dessert?", Kate asked, even before Katherine could say a word.
"Yes, of course, you will".
"Then I am in. I don't know about my mom thought".
"Young lady just watch your mouth I am telling you. Don't make ground you at ho", Katherine hissed with anger.
"C 'mon Kat, its just one dinner. For old ti's sake?", Shawn said looking deep into her eyes like he was trying to unlock those old chapters which had been caged deep in her mories.
Katherine hesitated initially and then looked at Kate who was almost on the verge of jumping for ice cream and then said,
"Yeah sure. For old tis sake"
His eyes instantly bead with happiness
'Follow then", he said and walked ahead of them.
When Kate saw that Shawn was two-three steps ahead of them, she pulled Katherine's sleeves and said,
"He called you Kat".
"Yeah so? Even your uncle Raymond calls Kat".
"Yeah, that's what. You let only people extrely close to you call you Kat. Not everyone. Don't you?"
Katherine literally had no answer this ti.
