Walk Of Life

Check List

Perfect Job - Check!

Big house - Check!

Best Friend - Check!

---

"Perfect!"

Sharon said while checking her personal check list. She kept her book aside and saw Ritika coming out of her room yawning . She was Sharon's roommate for few days as well as her best friend.

"Good morning Sharon."

"Morning! Here you go some pancakes."

"Thanks girl."

Sharon smiled. The two conversed with each other while having the pancakes. Finally Sharon went to her room to get ready for her job.

---

Sharon was an orphan. She was lucky enough to be in an orphanage which gave proper education till 12^th. After which due to her hard work she got scholarship in a good college and now had a great job. She had recently shifted into her new spacious flat , after taking loan from the bank.

Ritika was Sharon's friend in college and they had become best friends. Ritika wasn't an orphan and her parents supported her a lot in matters related to money. She and Sharon had jobs at the same place , and ritika was staying with Sharon for a month because her house was getting renovated.

Sharon thought she had a perfect life. The feeling of deprivation of parent's love in her life was always there lingering in her heart but she had managed to overcome it. Her being an orphan had never made her weak.

She was an emotional yet strong girl. She had made a bright future for herself with her own hands and without any help. After being well settled her dream was to renovate the orphanage she had stayed in during her childhood , because it meant a lot for her.

Sharon was extremely happy with her life , only if she knew her life was going to take an ugly turn soon.

---

It was the time of recession , people were losing their jobs . Sharon and ritika were scared as any moment even they could lose their jobs. So when they were called by their boss in his cabin , their heart beats had started beating very fast. And as expected they indeed lost their precious jobs.

---

Sharon entered her house . She was tensed. She had no job , and not that much savings plus her EMI for her home was still left . She didn't know what to do and knew that it wasn't a good time to break down. So she took the newspaper and started searching for a job.2 hours later she was sleeping among a pile of newspapers and notes.

---

2 months had gone by , Sharon's savings were depleting and there was no job to acquire , she was losing hope.

She was making herself some light lunch lost. When her phone rang , she picked it up immediately.

"Hello."

"We are speaking from the bank. You haven't deposited your EMI for the last two months. We would have to seize your flat ."

"I will give it , just give me 3 days more."

"You would have to pay a fine of 2 thousand."

"2 thousand! The.."

She chose to remain quiet. She took a deep breath.

"Okay."

She cuts the call , and fell down on her knees. So she was going to be homeless in 3 days.

"Sharon , you need to arrange money soon. So get up and do something rather than crying."

---

She was going out ,when ritika came and hugged her.

"Sharon. Can you believe it! I got a job."

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah."

"Where?"

"Dad helped me to get a job in his friend's business. Cool na?"

"Ya."

"Chal , my party!"

"No. Actually I need to go for an interview."

"Okay."

Sharon gave a smile and went. She looked up and said in mind while looking up.

"I don't want to say this , but why does she get a job just cause of her dad , when I am much better than her! For the first time I feel you're doing injustice to me universji."

---

2 days later , Sharon rang ritika's door bell. Ritika's mom opened the door she smiled at Sharon. Sharon smiled back.

"Aunty ritika?"

"Voh kaam par gayi hain."

Sharon did sense the taunt in her voice. But ignored.

"Tum andar aao na beta."

"Okay aunty."

Sharon came inside and sat on the sofa. She was looking around , when ritika's mom came and gave her water.

"So , you got a job?"

"No aunty , I am actually looking for one."

"Oh!"

Ritika came. She gave Sharon a side hug.

"Hi Sharon."

"Hey ritika."

"So..?"

"Uh actually ritika I need your help."

"I'll be glad to help you. Shoot."

"I need some money. Look i didn't want to ask but I have to."

"How much?"

"10,000."

Before ritika could say something.

"10,000! For what?"

They look at her mom , who came out while saying this.

"Beta , ritika aapko paise nahi de sakti. Usse abhi kaha salary mili hain."

"Mom! Sharon actually I really don't have money right now , but I can give you 3 thousand. Would it do?"

"Yeah. Thanks a lot Ritika."

Ritika smiled at her. She went and was bringing, ritika's mom also went behind her. Sharon could hear them.

"Aaj 10 hazar maange , kal 20 , parso 30 maangegi! Ritika dost hain toh kya? Tu kaise use paise de sakti hain?"

Ritika came out.

"Ritika , you know what , chod. I'll arrange it."

"Okay."

Sharon looked away , and got up.

"Bye!"

She got up and went.

---

She wasn't angry on ritika. Why should she be? She was giving her money , but Sharon knew it's not good to take loan from someone to repay some other person's loan and not at the sake of her ,self respect.

---

Sharon was disturbed and decided to call ritika. She dialled her number , the phone was picked up.

"Riti.."

She was cut by ritika's voice.

"Mom! Enough , it's not as if I did something wrong."

"Of course you did ritika. Pehle toh tumne Sharon ke saamne mujhe villain bana dia. Secondly tumse help hi toh maangi thi na usne. And you have money you could have given her! Usne tumhe kitni baar diye hain paise."

"Toh maine return bhi kar diye the. Sharon toh return bhi nahi kar paati , you know she is broke up to that extent!"

"She is your best friend beta."

"She was! Till the time she had a job , she was my best friend. See mom , I used Sharon for my benefit! College mein she helped me pass , and professionally also she did. But now she is of no use to me, so forget it."

"I don't believe it! Ritika what is wrong with you."

Sharon couldn't hear more and cuts the call. Tears finally formed in her eyes . This was the last thing she had expected. She held her mouth and cried bad. She cried and cried.

---

The next day , she woke up exhausted. She saw her diary kept beside her. She opened it and tore the check list page. She held her head. No she couldn't break , she had to do something. She couldn't let her future get destroyed. She just couldn't.

Sharon freshened up and came out. She slowly started packing her things. So what if she wasn't going to have a spacious flat , she can shift into a small one , it didn't matter.

The bank would seize her flat in 2 days and in these two days she would have to find a good home. Her doorbell rang. She opened the door and saw ritika.

"Hey Sharon! I need your.."

Before ritika could complete , Sharon closed the door on her face , and spoke through the intercom.

"Ritika , why don't you go to someone else and use them as much as you want , I am sure they won't be broke."

"Sharon what are you saying?"

"I you're conversation with your mom! Now get lost from here."

She heard ritika laugh.

"Good that you did. Your anger is not going to take you anywhere Sharon. I had my parents who helped me. But you don't have anyone. Tch tch ."

"You know what ritika , I don't need someone's support to achieve something. But you.."

Sharon laughed.

"Can't do a shit without anyone. And yeah I promise you one bloody thing , I'll be more successful than you! Now get lost."

She cuts the intercom call.

"Bitch."

She muttered under her breath and got back to work.

---

Sharon stood outside her new house's building. Her flat was as expected seized and she had to shift to this building. She picked her luggage and went to her flat , she opened the door.

It was very dirty. She groaned and started cleaning up the house. She finished and sat down exhausted.

She had a very good mind of not doing anything today. So she sat down and thought how her life had changed in these two months.

Recession had indeed hit Sharon very hard. First she lost her job , then her so called best friend , and then her home! But , she was happy that she got to know ritika's true colours and thanks to her , she was now more determined to be successful.

Now she had set up her plan. She had bagged a job as a waitress at a caf , small but she would get at least some money and that was more than enough. Doing the job she will side by side look for a better job .

She was going to walk this journey in small steps , and she was sure that at the end of this journey all her aims would be accomplished.

---

The next day . She went to work. The first day was going well , when a guy entered. Sharon looked at the guy and thought she had seen him somewhere , ignoring that she went to take his order.

"Order please."

"One cappuccino and sandwitch."

"Okay , anything else sir?"

"No."

He was too busy on his phone to even look up. Sharon went and after a while bought his order.

"Thank you."

He said , and then finally looked up.

Sharon looked at his face , she was sure she had seen him somewhere , seen those eyes somewhere. He looked at her , his expressions seemed as if he was thinking something looking at her.

She shrugged and went to take another order.

---

2 weeks passed , he daily came there. One day , Sharon had got half day , and at that time the guy was leaving.

Sharon went behind him.

"Excuse me!"

He turned.

"Yes?"

"Have I ever seen you somewhere?"

The guy looked at Sharon. She gulped.

"N-no! This wasn't a pick up line at all! I just really thought that I had seen you somewhere."

"Yes you have seen me somewhere Sharon."

Sharon looked at him with wide eyes. The guy smiled at her. Sharon now thought really hard and it struck her.

"College general secretary Swayam Shekhawat right?"

"Yeah!"

"I never knew you knew my name."

"Oh , you really don't know how much I know about you."

Sharon giggled. How could she forget him. He was her first crush , yeah she had a tiny crush on him during college. But he had left college in the second year , so she had forgotten about her crush upon him.

"So , how is life?"

Sharon asked him.

"Pretty much perfect."

"Cool."

"Yours?"

"I work in a small caf , extremely perfect."

Swayam laughed.

"Recession hit you?"

"Very bad!"

"It hurts?"

He asked jokingly.

"You are drunk!"

"So you spiked my cappuccino?"

"Yeah! Oops I revealed it."

They both laugh. Swayam's car came , he was going to sit when he turned.

"Sharon , come on I'll drop you."

"No , I'll go."

"Get inside."

"Swayam , umm."

"I won't kidnap you Sharon."

"Okay fine."

They sat. They spoke and both were actually shocked to know that the other knew many things about them . They had never conversed much in college.

---

Days passed swaron became extremely good friends. He used to wait till her duty ended and then drop her.

One day.

Sharon was inside , when one of her friend came inside.

"Sharon , you're Swayam is here."

"He isn't mine."

"Ya right! I know you like him so shut up."

Yeah , in these few days Sharon had actually developed a soft corner for him. She blushed , and then went outside. Her smile disappeared when she saw ritika with Swayam.

She was shocked would be an understatement. She saw ritika holding his hand and on her finger was an engagement ring. She was in tears and ran inside.

"Sharon?"

"You take the order."

"Okay!"

She came out after her duty. When she heard.

"Sharon."

Sharon turned and saw Swayam with ritika , who was shocked.

"Ritika she is the girl I was talking about , my new friend , none other than your best friend."

"She is not my best friend!"

Sharon said in anger. Swayam looked at her confused. Ritika looked at Sharon.

"Sharon. You are getting it wrong. Swayam is not my fianc , he is just my fiance's friend and since my fianc was busy Swayam took me out for shopping and we went to the caf."

"Is it?"

Sharon asked Swayam. He nods. Ritika looked at Sharon.

"Sharon. I know what I did was wrong. But honestly that day I came to confess everything to you , I swear. My mom had given me a piece of her mind and I understood that I was wrong. But you're rude words irritated me , you know how I am right? That is why I lashed out. Am sorry!"

"You're forgiven , but we can never be friends again."

"You forgave me , that's more than enough."

Ritika's fianc came , and they went. Swayam looked at Sharon. She looked away hiding her tears , he turned her.

"Sharon?"

Sharon hugged him and blurted out everything , she cried in his arms. Not caring about what the passer by thought about her. Swayam stroked her hair. He calmed her. She felt safe in his arms.

---

From that day , swaron's relation had just strengthened , and Swayam had finally proposed her. Sharon had happily accepted it.

With Swayam , Sharon got to know the meaning of care , affection , love . These were the things she had been deprived off right from the start. Swayam's family was now her family , his mom and dad treated her like she belonged to their family.

Her life was becoming better but not perfect. She didn't ever got depended on Swayam. He did pamper her , but she never accepted his expensive gifts. She would only say.

"When I start earning like you Swayam. I will accept all your gifts."

---

One day , Sharon was with Swayam . Cuddled in his arms , he was telling her about how he had liked her from the first day of college , and how he almost stalked her. When her phone rang.

"Hello am I speaking to Miss.Sharon?"

"Yes."

"We are speaking from XYZ industries and you have been selected for the job you applied for. You're starting salary is 15 thousand."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes , you have to report for the final interview tomorrow for all the details."

"Thank you."

She cuts the call , and hugged Swayam in joy. They went out to celebrate and to her surprise Swayam proposed her for marriage. She gladly accepted it.

---

2 months later.

Great Job - Check!

Big House (Mine and Swayam's) - Check!

Lovely Fiance - Check!

"Last but not the least."

Family - Check!

---

Sharon's life had not been a walk on a road of primroses , but she had walked no matter how hard it had been. She never lost hope , she never fell weak , she tried and tried and that is the only reason she succeeded.
