Sometimes.......It's Too LATE......!!!!

The Beginning.... Chapter One

"Kavya beta, please help me with this huge suitcase.....Ouch...!!!!", a mid 30's woman called out a name. She was with fair complexion and long black hair tied in pony tail and was draped in a typical gujrati style sari. And here enters our heroine, Miss.Kavya Shastri. Hearing her mom's voice, a girl came out of the car, shutting the door of the car really hard behind her. Wearing a pink Punjabi suit with her hair tied in an updo, her stature looked truly beautiful. With her eyes adorned with perfect embellishment of kohl and her jhumkas swinging along with the wind only made her look more adorable. She scurried towards her mom, tied her duppata along her back and gave a helping hand to her mom to unload that heavy bag from the van.
"Hey Bhagwan.....I'm pretty sure, this monstrous bag is of yours. This is so heavy..!! What have bought in it..?? Some sand and stones from our Gandhinagar...!!", her mom mockingly yelled at her.

"Hahahaha....very funny Maa....you know just some very important stuff of mine...that's it...and Maa it is not at all heavy, you are just exaggerating it...Look, I alone can handle it...!!"
With that Kavya tried lifting that bag up, but all in vain. She couldn't lift it even an inch up.

"Oh God...It is heavy..",and dropped that bag down again. Watching her daughter's amusing encounter, Mrs.Shastri roared with laughter and so did Kavya.

"Are...re...re...What is it..?? Why you both are  giggling so hard?? May I know..even I would like you to share your ha-ha moment with me.." A mid forties man came towards them along with three luggage. One huge bag on his left shoulder, the other suitcase holding with right hand and the last is his pot belly or rather a paunch, which was an individual luggage in itself. And yes, you all guess it right...he is our heroine father, Mr.Raman Shastri. 

Meet Shastri family, Mr.Raman Shastri and Mrs.Leela Shastri, Miss. Kavya Shastri's father and mother respectively.They are basically from Gandhinagar which is in Gujrat, a simple middle class family with simple values and ethics. Kavya's father is a bank official, and because his transfer of office and Kavya's further studies the whole family decided to shift in Mumbai itself rather than scattering here and there. So now that we are well acquainted with the three characters of our story, let us move and meet the other characters as well.

"Nothing Papa, I was just trying to show Maa my girl power...!!", Kavya winked and again chuckled on her own joke. 

"Hmmm....now use this power and help us in unloading this luggage...come on..", Mr.Shastri patted her and signaled her to get back at work. With that all three of them hurled on the luggage which was loaded in the truck and started unloading them with the help of few workers from movers and packers. On one side Kavya was helping in launching the luggage down and on other sides her eyes were glued to her new house and her new society. It was a big society consisting five wings in total. The buildings were well arranged with ample space in between as to forn a small curve kinda of shape. In the center there was a small garden for children and people to relax and play in the evening. In the left there was a small temple build in which only added the beauty of this society. Kavya already started liking her new society and her temptation for getting in her new house, was reaching the peak.

The mischievous Kavya was awake now and so she decided to go and grab the house keys from her mom's bag which was in car and meet her new house first and foremost. She did the same when her mom and dad were busy in unloading things and along side arguing with the driver for payment. 

Kavya flipped two bags on each shoulder and marched towards B wing, where a new story was about to begin. She hurriedly entered the B wing and pressed the lift button twice in a jiffy. She waited for some time for the lift but when it seemed that it won't come she opted for the staircase as her impatience was rising very high.
"Common Kavya, just two floors to walk...not a big deal..you can do it...",with consoling herself she grabbed the bags and started walking upstairs. When she reached the first floor she stopped and took a deep breath and after a while she again begin to walk. As she was about to turn for the stairs of second floor, someone bumped in her accidentally who was coming downstairs in hurry. Both collided and slipped on floor along with Kavya's bags going all the way down the stairs, right from where she carried them.
"Ouch....!! Ohh...Maaa....You......",Kavya was about to yell on that person but before she could burst out in anger, he got back on his equilibrium and hastily walked downstairs...clasped both the bags on his shoulders and brought them up and placed them down in front of Kavya. So here enters our Hero,the fourth character of our story guys. He is Yash Shah....a Gujrati chokro who lives with his mom, dad and an elder sister. And yes Kavya and Yash are neighbors. Let's find out how their first encounter come out.

"I'm very sorry...I was in hurry...just lost my balance and bumped into you..extremely sorry... Ummm....May I help you...with this luggage..?? Just tell me which floor you were heading to I will drop you there...", Yash asked her apologetically.
Kavya, initially was in fury but seeing his chivalrous nature she was by now all cool and calm. Her anger was all melted down.
"That's okay....I will manage...Please don't bother..", Kavya replied softly just to calm Yash down.
"No...pls...let me do it...I insist..." Yash said insistingly.
"Alright...only if you insist...", with that Yash smiled and grabbed both the bags and both of them walked upstairs. Both of them only shared some smiles, no one said anything.

They reached and Yash placed both the bags down just in front of Kavya's new house.
"By the way I'm Yash.....Yash Shah...and just for your extra knowledge we are neighbours", he gestured to the house just opposite to that of Kavya's. Kavya seemed to be happy to find him as her neighbour.
"Oh....Ya we are shifting today. Maa and Papa are down, handling all our luggage and stuff. Ummm...I'm Kavya Shastri...and thank you for all this..", she extended her hand to which Yash responded and both shared a light handshake.
"Don't be..I was at fault so it was my responsibility to undo it...And welcome new neighbour...", he winked at her and both shared a light moment of laughter.
"Oh god..I'm getting late. Need to rush. Hope you don't mind. Will meet you soon... and Sorry once again...",Yash said with anxiety.
"Ya...sure...nice to meet you.. Bye...",Kavya replied with smile.
"Same here...Bye.."
Yash turned and both of them adieu good byes to eachother.

A new story is about to begin...stay tuned...

Will be continued..
