A few days earlier, Jai and Shri had a coffee at a cafe. They talked about their future plans finding a job, as both were actively searching for one. Shri, however, had thoughts of taking over his father's business, though he hadn't made a final decision yet.
While sipping his coffee, Jai glanced towards the corner of the shop and noticed a women from behind - her free flowing hair, fair complexion, and graceful appearance caught his attention. He gave it a moments thought; she seemed familiar. She was sitting alone, writing something on paper.
Just then, the waiter brought her order. Suddenly, Jai realized who she was - it was Jessy. He was surprised and immediately got up to talk to her.
"Hi Jessy."
"Who's this?" she asked, lifting her head slightly.
"I am Jai, from Sriram Institute," he replied.
It took her a moment to recognize him. Then she said, "Oh, I remember. Please, have a seat. How are you? And who is he?
"He's my friend Shri," Jai responded politely.
A little later, Jai said, "I am really surprised to see you here, Jessy. What brings you here?"
"I have an event this coming Sunday at Alpha Technologies. I am scheduled to give a motivational session to their employees."
"Oh, that's awesome to hear. Are we invited to it?" Jai asked playfully.
"No, you're not, since you're not part of the company," she said with a smile. "But I usually conduct similar sessions every couple of months. If you're interested, join Alpha."
After a few minutes of conversion, they moved on.
Later that night, while getting ready for bed, Jai looked up Alpha. It was led by an Indian software firm focused on development, simulation software, and motion capture technologies. He was impressed by the company's website, and as he scrolled through the about section, he was shocked to find one familiar face - his friend Akash Karthikeya, a former classmate.
