Saheri meanwhile questioned Arjun about Kavitha's where abouts and learning she was in the cooking section she gave a angry glare to Arjun and Pratap and went ahead to meet her while Arjun was still trying to recover from her shock entry.
When she saw her childhood friend who grew up as a princess doing menial tasks and helping others with their cooking it almost broke her heart. Kavitha meanwhile was surprised by Saheri being here and quickly wiped her face and went ahead to great her friend.
Ho Ho look who's here to visit after twelve years Kavitha spoke as she neared Saheri
Well who can blame me if you decide to run away with that guy and that too this far away place. What area you doing here Kavi, look at you toiling away in this remote place. Saheri spoke with very visible anger on her face.
Aye don't say that Saheri, i am doing good right now. Haven't you met Arjun and Saritha? they're our world right now and i don't really care about anything else if they can be happy Kavitha replied holding her hands.
Still what happened to all the dreams we had about our futures, doesn't it hurt to not be able to follow them?
Hehe, it's in the past Sahi right now my kids dreams are my dreams. Also what was the need to gift that chain to that small kid? do you know how much effort it's going to take me to take it off her? Kavitha tried to shift the topic.
Well i can't help it, it's my first meeting with her after all and anyway i am not short of cash unlike someone who lives in a remote village Saheri knew what her friend was doing and still pressed further.
Leave it Sahi you know how much i like Pratap and our kids, there is no way you can convince me that this was a bad decision.
That's the only reason i haven't done anything to him yet, if he ever dares to lift a finger you let me know and see what i can do Sahi spoke with pride on her face.
Shut it Sahi you know that's never possible.
Which is?
Both of the things you mentioned, now stop showing off Kavitha replied.
As they were conversing Sari came to them and informed them that the event was beginning and Arjun had asked them to come to the front which made both ladies get up and walk to front while continuing their bickering.
Arjun was the first one to take the stage, even though he wanted Madan or Bhargav to do the introduction they both rejected giving excuse of Arjun being the main owner and the event organizer so with no option left he had to take the stage.
Um...Thank you everyone for being here on such a short notice Arjun started with a shy expression. Even if he had been to many such events in the past he had never done so in front of his mother and father which brought unknown fears and excitement within him.
As you know we've done very well since the press start and our new product All in One which was made through the combined efforts of our school teachers and students brought us immense success as we sold or donated over seventy thousand copies of them and so did the other products, i will spare you the effort of listening to all the number stuff for now but i have to especially thank our head master Venkateshwar Rao sir for his support without whom most of these products would not have been possible.
His words make everyone who was in the attendance clap in enthusiasm as well as acknowledge the head master's effort. If there was someone who was truly happy by Arjun's words it was Venkateshwar Rao the head master after all he knew few things about the people in attendance and Arjun mentioning him in front of these people was a honor in itself.
Now let me introduce you to our new product, Children's drawings books which incorporate studies and creativity into one book and let your kids enjoy both sides of the world Arjun spoke as Bhargav was distributing the first class edition of the drawing books to everyone in attendance.
Saheri like most of the people was disappointed upon learning about the new product but when Arjun mentioned this was done by Kavitha she quickly went through the book and started complimenting Kavi on her creative works and simple drawing steps which could be imitated by any one over the age of five indicating how much effort her friend had put into this project.
Arjun meanwhile said a few more words and then invited Madan on stage to hand the shields over to the teachers and the head master who helped the most for making the All in One's.
It was worthwhile for everyone in attendance to look at Sari's expressions while she was carrying the shields over and handing them to Madan one by one as Arjun called out the names. Arjun initially wanted to hand this task to Lalitha but after Sari's constant nagging about wanting to be involved in something he decided this would be the best thing for her to do.
Sari who had imagined her task to be simple was surprised to find that her job was going to be carrying shields to her teachers and especially the scary principal. She wanted to run away immediately but upon remembering Arjun's earlier warnings she silently carried the shields trying to hide the fear on her face when she was in front of the school people.
Madan then proceeded to talk some more matters but decided not to bring up the matters of MLA seat as it was not the right place to do so and instead mentioned about collective reward of ten thousand rupees to all the teaching personnel involved in making the All in One possible and an additional ten thousand rupees from his own pocket as a donation to the school for it's repairs and stuff which he mentioned the head master could use as he saw fit.
Arjun then invited Saheri on to the stage and introduced her to the people below as a famous scientist in Chemistry which made all the tenth class kids who were attending the event get glimmering stars in their eyes. This was the dream to most kids Shiva Ram included and learning the one front of them was a successful person from that position made them all clap in excitement while two or three kids even whistled in excitement.
Saheri was surprised by the reaction she got but did not get bothered by it and instead was curios about why Arjun had called her on stage.
Arjun then proceeded to call the names of all the students who were involved in making the question banks and solution booklets and listed their contributions one by one.
He then mentioned a cash prize of thousand rupees for all the kids and a two year scholarship which could be further extended depending on their progress which came as a surprise to everyone involved especially the parents of the kids who were attending the event.
They had never imagined their kids could go to the college of their choice just because they got involved in some school project and decided to whole heartedly support Arjun in his future endeavors and said the same to the kids and sent them on stage.
Arjun made Saheri hand them the cheques on by one which made every kid who took the cheque look at her in more awe and all of them thanked her while totally forgetting about Arjun who was the sole sponsor for their scholarship as well as the money.
Arjun initially wanted Madan to do this task too but since Saheri was here he decided it was best for to do it considering her profession and a politician getting involved in kid's lives would not look good in some optics either.
Once all of them received their prizes Arjun asked Saheri leave the stage without allowing her to speak anything which got her a bit disappointed but she could understand why he was so scared of her after all it was she who came unannounced and Arjun had already shown her enough respect by making her do the honors of awarding the kids who were apparently top of their departments in the school which she got to know after getting down so she too took her time to chat with all of them and letting them, have a bit of glimpse into her life, only the glorious parts though. She did not want them to know about the hard work needed to get such glory as they were still younglings about to enter the real world.
Arjun meanwhile called for Madan along with Mallesh Yadav on the stage, Mallesh although a bit surprised reasoned he would be receiving some cash prize too and went up excitedly.
