Chapter 1:''Hello Anaya''
''Hello Mrs Khair, how are you doing?'' asked the young Anaya when she met her old colleague after a year. The brunette with curly medium waved hair of average body has just returned to India after completing her graduation in the Mass Communication field from Australia some days ago.
''Hey,Anaya, what a beautiful surprise? Are you in Holidays?, 'asked the middle aged lady with a wide smile.
Anaya smiled back getting the dimples the best curvature in her rounded shaped face. She loved her ex colleagues at the public services where she started her career. Despite she felt uncomfortable in the beginning as her colleagues were of her mom's age but she soon became everyone's daughter and she was so happy working here as the spoiled hard working girl in her early twenties. The support she got from her colleagues before she went to her studies was as admirable as what she got from her kins which made it a ritual for her to drop a visit to them whenever she was around. What a grateful life she has this girl of black eyes whose style is wear light brown shades with intense mascara that just get her eyes to give the killing looks.
''I came back last week, actually this time I returned to India, my course has ended. I will be job hunting soon but I wanted to keep two weeks for me to enjoy as holidays before I resumed to the public sector job as administrator and will be looking elsewhere as well, which is more focused in my field. Where are others?'' answered Anaya whose tone was always so energetic and sweet. Everyone she met used to describe her as someone of a unique kind, there cannot be another one like her and she used to reply humbly in a light tone,'' Ayaan is like me, just that I am the female version and he is the male version'' and everybody cracked up with laughter and admiration. Anaya is so fond of her brother that she feels her life is fully indebted to her brother and usually said to her parents that any man who comes in her life should understand he has the second place in her heart because the first place will always remain her brother and her father.
''Really, I thought you wanted to settle in Australia. Is Kushal ready to come to India for you,my girl,''asked coolly Mrs Khair with a mixed tone of concern and happiness.
''Oh Kushal,,'' Anaya sighed. Her heart flashed back to those beautiful days in the University where now memories are seen to be shaped up with only the fun she had with her buddy and her brother like friend, Kushal and Abhi respectively. While Kushal got the real self of herself out where she was actually being considered to be a party girl, Abhi used to take care of the spiritual side that Anaya loved to keep nourishing. Funnily Anaya seemed to forget all her other mates but Kushal has been such a sweet boy that later, they realised that they are not only friends, they are something more than the carefree buddies, something that make them enjoy their companion together. Something, that will let Anaya keep Kushal so close to her in the computer lab that others thought they were romancing while actually they were working in their assignment together. Well even the lecturer blessed this couple who never knew they were in love until actually when they graduated and returned to their home countries respectively to complete their career goal. Indian based origin Kushal lives in South Africa, if one will ask Anaya to describe her buddy cum newly discovered love Kushal, she will just drilled in a fairy poetry way to describe the young cute who is very caring towards Anaya but it is a flirty guy to other girls who funnily Anaya used to help him to choose and made him stared at her because he could not tolerate that friendly date Anaya had once. Anaya felt that Kushal is someone that she can do anything to keep the radiant smile in his dimpled symmetrical shape; just like that she can do anything for her father's smile. Kushal returned to his homecountry three weeks before Anaya and that three weeks were actually horrible for Anaya as she felt her wings are broken without him that made her smile dissolve in a way that herself she never thought would be. She was actually in a mixed feeling before she returned to her country, she was supposed to be so excited for her to meet her family but instead she was getting a feeling of farewell to Kushal without each other confess their feelings.
''Hello Anaya, are you there? Where are you lost?'' waved Mrs Khair to her. ''Did I ask anything wrong?'' she added.
''Uh,not at all, Mrs Koyal, it was just that all the sweet memories aboyt university came again,'' responded quickly Anaya. ''Uh Kushal,''she said,''actually he never got back to me after the confession of my feelings to him,'' she continues within breaks,''anyway i am here, i need to maximise time with so much loved pees round me,right?'' she tried to add with a forcing smile that is hiding the pain in her heart,''I am sure he is busy, I said to him,do not crush his feelings, and thats what he is doing,'' continues Anaya, with a feeble voice.
''Anaya, are you alright? What happen?,'' asked concerned Mrs Khair.
Will Anaya breaks out the ice today with Mrs Khair or will she like other time use the evasion technique and diverged the conversation.
She smiled, she looked at her watch and she is still thinking whether to say it here as she has not yet got time to talk about this with Ayaan.
