Khushi - Wow...such a nice house Buaji
Buaji - Ya ya... it was all nice till now. Dont know what will happen to it from tomorrow (by then khushi make a mud flower vase fall and it breaks into pieces) or should I say from this minute...(Khushi makes a funny face)
Khushi - Sorry Buaji... ok tell me where should I keep my things?

Khushi - From tomorrow a new beginning of my life...Gannu mama...please be with me... she looks at the idol of Lord Ganesha set on her study table (Slowly she drifts to sleep)
(The surroundings give a hint of a major fashion event... and Arnav walks in...slowly getting to the center of the stage the lights slowly revealing him. He is walking with a great attitude and confidence. Finally he is revealed by the complete bright light and he starts speaking)
Arnav - Thanks everyone for coming over here for AR's Bridal collection of this season. Hope you all would cooperate with AR designs in the same way that has been observed all these years. I would the take the questions from media post the show. So let the show begin. Lights
(All the lights are switched on and he moves towards backstage... The models start walking one by one and he occupies the seat allocated ... one by one models have finished their turn. Final model is with the richest attire looking her best and slowly the girl comes in front with a cat walk and removes her goongat to reveal her face and smiles. Arnav smiles backs and comes to her from his seat holds her close and pecks her cheeks. Suddenly Khushi wakes up on her bed)
Khushi - Oh god ... what was that? How could I get such a dream? (sets her hair properly) whatever I will not think much on it... forget that Khushi... now get ready and go to office...

Lavanya - Come in (Khushi comes in) here your papers, sign them.
Khushi - But...I...already...
Lavanya - I dont have time for all your useless talks here...sign them soon... I have a important meeting with ASR.(Khushi signs the papers without even reading them. Lavanya snatches those papers as soon as she signs) Ok you can leave for the day. I will inform the supervisor and you can start the work from tomorrow.
Khushi - Ok mam...
Lavanya - Listen... ASR don't like anyone not being punctual so come here at 6 AM tomorrow and meet the supervisor. He will brief you about the work.
Khushi - Sure... But 6 AM??
Lavanya - Yes any issues?
Khushi - No...not an issue (In mind - strange...i never saw any corporate office starting at 6 AM)
Lavanya - (gets up) ok then. All the best
Khushi - Thank you
Lavanya - Whatever... you may leave now (Khushi silently walks out of the cabin and office)

(Khushi is walking on the road and thinking)
Khushi - Hmm if I go home so early Buaji will give me house chores... what shall I do? Oh ya... I have Shyam ji's number. He had told me to call when I visit Delhi. Let me call him. (She dials Shyam's number)
Shyam - Hello... Shyam Manohar Jha here...
Khushi - Khushi Kumari Gupta here...
Shyam - Hey Khushi... tell me. How come you remembered me?
Khushi - I am in Delhi for my internship. Just finished joining formalities and they asked me to join tomorrow so I thought of calling you.
Shyam - Oh great... finally you got the internship...congratulations
Khushi - Thanks ... I needed your help to find a library here which can lend me good business related and Management related books.
Shyam - Oh thats why you called me?(Making sad tone) and I thought you called me as a friend just like that to ask to meet over a coffee or something like that
Khushi - I mean... sorry...
Shyam - Its ok Khushi... tell me where are you right now? I will come and meet you... Will get the membership for the best library here
(Khushi tells the address and Shyam comes and takes her to the library, get the membership and they both go to a coffee shop)
Khushi - Thank you so much... sorry I dont know anyone here so had to disturb you.
Shyam - Uff if you tell that thanks again I am going to get the membership cancelled. (Khushi makes a face) I am just kidding (smiles) you dont have to be so formal... we are friends so helping each other is not a big thing. (Khushi smiles back)
AR MEETING ROOM
(Arnav has just finished his important meeting. All clients left the room. Only he, Aman and Lavanya were there in the room)
Arnav - Aman did you finish the on boarding formalities for the new interns?
Aman - ASR I completed it for 4 and 1 did not turn up
Arnav - What did not turn up? Who is that
Aman - Khushi Kumari Gupta.
Arnav - Khushi?... Did you check with receptionist if she had left any message
Aman - Yes ASR... no messages
Arnav - Ok... if she come in for onboarding send her to meet me.. I think she needs a strict dozage of instructions from me
Aman - Sure ASR.
BUAJI'S HOUSE
(Khushi came back home)
Buaji - oh...you are back... how was your first day? Did you make friends? How is the office? You met that Kadoos?
Khushi - Buaji ...ask your questions one by one...(smiles) ok listen (She explains all that happened and also about meeting Shyam)
Buaji - Oh ok good... just dont get into trouble at your work place. Thank god you know someone like Shyam. If you need any work related help you can ask him. He is nice guy. Call him for lunch on Sunday
Khushi - Sure Buaji.
(Here Aman did not want a intern to face the anger of ASR on first day so he takes Khushi's number from file and calls her)
Khushi - Hello
Aman - Hello am I speaking to Khushi Kumari Gupta?
Khushi - Yes speaking.
Aman - This is Aman Mathur from AR. Khushi you had your on boarding today and you did not turn up. You missed the introduction and briefing sessions.
Khushi - I did come in and finished my formalities with Lavanya Mam. She asked me to come in from tomorrow.
Aman - Is it? I think there must be a misunderstanding. If you have finished the formalities then its good, otherwise ASR would have got angry on you and done something against your internship.
Khushi - Should I call him and inform?
Aman - No not required. I will take care of it. Anyways dont worry as you have completed the formalities. All the best. Bye take care.
Khushi - Thanks Aman Sir, you too. Bye

(Lavanya was winding up and moving out of office and Aman meets her on the way)
Aman - lavanya did you do any on boarding today?
Lavanya - yes one girl had come in morning.
Aman - And you did not inform me? Thanks god I call that girl and informed ASR otherwise...
Lavanya - That was not a big deal. I forgot. Now that you have got to know take care of it. Excuse me... (She walks off from there)
