All human faces in the whole life is pain and sadness with a little happiness on the top... Well you know me I am khushi!! Yeah it means happiness but you know all I've faced in my life is sadness...
But it wasn't like this all before because I thought even I can deserve happiness but I have to lose him to save him. Little did he know how much I loved him but first I'll tell you about him. Even you will fall in love with him. Mark my words.

I was an orphan and was in foster care for all my life but I ran away when I was 16 and the money I had saved by working while studying as well and joined a local caf and part time boutique assistant. Work went well and at 18 I had earned a whole lot of money and it was enough for me to rent a shop and open my own caf and bakery. I had an interest in cooking since long and I also kept improving.
Today I am 19 and have a good career and I am earning 30 lakhs per annum and that's more than enough for me. Well here comes my lovely customer Mrs. Raizada who was so pretty and well natured but what stopped me in my track to greet her was the man who entered behind her as the bell jingled.
He not only had that effect on me but my cash lady who was in her 60's. She was openly gawking at him. It was amusing but only if I could look away but I finally looked away and greeted Mrs. Raizada as a waitress went over to that man who was taking in the surroundings of my caf and to tell you I expanded and by merging 2 cafes my caf was big. She was fussing but one look from him had her stopping. Geez... Doesn't this man just kill people with looks and the power attire he's wearing that he has to sharply make an eye contact to make a mark? I had a smirk forming on my face when Mrs Raizada waved her hands in front of me and smirked as well.
UMN!!! What was it????
He came over casually towards where I was at the counter and Mrs. Raizada and the Handsome man on opposite.
Mrs. Raizada introduced to Mr. Handsome as her elder son and I greeted him by waving and asked Mrs. Raizada what would she like to eat today.
Mrs. Raizada: Khushi, you know well how I start and what is this?
She said pointing to the two new recipes I had baked for today and new batch was in the oven and I just said one minute and ran back to where the batch was up and about to be removed.
Jeez!! It was becoming hard for me to pick up with the work. I set the new platter on the showcase and apologized her for my clumsiness which she waved by still eying the chocolate tart that I made.
Khushi: Okay I get it!! Sam... get Mrs. Raizada her cappuccino and Mr. Raizada what would you like?
I asked by raising eyebrows and Mrs. Raizada looked in my direction and mocked Mr. Raizada'.
Mr. Raizada : well mom if you're done with that... umn!! Can I get a menu...?
"Oh sure... I am so sorry!!, I replied by giving him the menu and immediately our fingers brushed and a sudden electric jolt passed through me and even he was looking at me with same confusion. Okay so something was definitely wrong here... immediately asked Sasha, my assistant to take care while I handle the baking stuff and made a hasty retreat.

Mrs. Raizada: So mom, is this your happy to go place?
I asked mom as soon as she took us to her desired seat. Wow I didn't knew the place she loved had a beautiful owner and the bakery was none the less amazing. I loved the aroma and everything was clean. I knew the effect I had over women but this was a new territory for me to be as affected as she was by me.
Khushi!!! Happiness... Is she my happiness??? Was she committed??
Suddenly my twin Asad came and sat by me and said, Hey guys!!!
He was the black sheep of our family who lived apart us but today was mum's day so we came.
We all drank the cappuccino while Khushi gets mum what she wants to eat.
"Okay ma'am, here you go... your favorite dark forest... You get started while I get you other stuff, she came hustling from the back part where I assumed was all cooking done. Wow everything was so fresh.
She then turned to our new guest and took a step back and asked, Hello sir, what you would like to eat?
Asad: You!!!
What in the bloody hell? I looked at Khushi and since the time I saw her she looked terrified her she took a step forward and placed a hand on the table and spat at his face, You pervert, get out of my caf... And mrs Raizada I am extremely sorry!!.
Asad: Chill baby girl... I will have what they're having.
My palm had formed into fists and Khushi kept a hand on my shoulder that brought me to senses and I looked up at her and saw her shaking her head.
God knows how and why but she just calmed be like that?
I was confused when she smiled at me and mom and throwing a dirty look at my brother to which he replied, Feisty girl!! I like it!!
I punched him... I couldn't control and I did it... he just sat there with a challenge...
"I will get her... before you do... I will burn her down... he said near my ear not making my mother hear.
That's when I realized that even if I had met her just now I liked her and not wanted anyone but me to be with her. I cant lose my happiness now that I have found it...
