Inside the suite!

'That's right' said a voice. They all turned around to look who the voice belonged to. It was Shishira. She looked breathtaking. She was now wearing a pink outfit which made her look even better than how she looked in the morning. She looked like one of those models you would watch on TV or on the covers of magazines.

"They are with me". She said to Tejpal and gestured the others to follow her. All three of them walked behind her as if in a trance. She looked like she were from another world. Not like the shishira they had known. Was this really her? A thousand such questions were going on in their minds.

They went throught the lobby and entered the inner hall. Here they got into the lift. "Shish... " started Vasanti when Shishira interupted her by saying "That's our floor. Come on. That's my room at the end of the corridor. You all can get fresh and then we can talk." Vasanti understood that was a polite way to ask them to shut up. She simply followed her upto her room and inside.

Varsha entered open mouthed behind Vasanti and exclaimed "pinch me!! am I dead? Is this what heaven looks like?" Vasanti turned back to smile while Grishma muttered under her breath "Shut up!!"

"Surely you must have seen suites like this before?" asked Shishira putting on a surprised tone, but no one could miss the look of superiority on her face.

"Yeah we did" replied Vasanti "In our dreams!" All four of them laughed.
Varsha asked "How on earth did you get so rich Shishira? What did you do? Rob a bank?"
"Well, I married a rich guy" replied Shishira "I guess Grishma would be used to such luxuries. That is why she seems to be quiet. No wonder, you were living with such rich people." There was no mistaking the malice in her tone.
"I left them" replied Grishma in an equally malicious tone " There are things other than money which are more important to me"
"Why don't we all get fresh..." started Varsha in an effort to stall the argument that was about to ensue.
"I feel fresh enough" said Grishma angrily.
"The others probably don't! Why don't you all take a bath and have something to eat. Let me call up room service" offered Shishira.
"Meanwhile, why don't you tell us how you met your husband? " asked varsha, who lay sprawled across the huge bed.
"Oh yes , I will" replied Shishira "Now that I know SOME people were not as lucky as I thought they were."
