SidNi Wednesday OS : Wake Up Sid!
*I love the title of my OS and also it is a concept inspired by the movie of the same title. If you haven't seen the movie , I recommend you see it. Hope you like it and Happy Wednesday!🤗*
Warning- This is the most boring OS I have ever written in my opinion.!
A knight in shining armour and sitting on a cycle , suddenly there is a downpour of sheets , drafts by a girl.
He moves his hand forward to touch her and is about to remove the veil on her face when he hears his mom shouting.
"Sid.." his mother's shrill voice breaks though his eardrums waking him up from his deep slumber and again he was unable to see the face of the girl.
"Mom. Again you woke me up before I could see her face." Siddharth whined like a kid , he was having a lopsided smile.
"Let's make a deal then , next time you ask her to come before 8 am." she advised shaking him up to take him out of his sleep.
"But why do I have to get up so early when I have absolutely no work to do?" he asked still not over his beauty sleep.
"I so wish you will start doing some work. It has been 3 months college ended Sid , can't you find a job or rather do something which interests you." she asked and he knew very well she meant writing.
Siddharth loved to write and at once his face lit up. He moved closer to his mom and pecked her cheeks saying ,"Thanks mom , you are the best."
As he ran away to get dressed up Simran shouted ,"You naughty boy.!" After a while Siddharth was out of the house and within an hour he was outside a production house's office.
"Finally , I will do my internship here but on my own calibre , not dad's money." he thought happily. He went in and got busy in arranging his writings in the right way.
"Ahh. You mad man , can't you see and walk?" he heard a voice more shrill even than his mom which was a new feat.
"I am sorry." he apologized but next moment seeing her get up he continued ,"I have eyes and I am using them. I guess you aren't utilising yours."
She was furious to say the least and he was probably enjoying waking up the beast in her. She wasn't one who kept quiet in such situations.
"Such big eyes like an owl but still minds of a fool." she mumbled slowly. Sid's anger was at its peak now , she was insulting him.
"Excuse me?" he called out to her as she was about to walk off. "You are excused , people like you have nothing but excuses." she stomped away before giving him this fitting reply.
As she went away he was shocked , angry , irritated and surprised. He hadn't seen a girl behaving with him like this at all.
Siddharth went and knocked at the Head of the Department's office door. He wasn't nervous at all , infact he was excited. Everyone had always praised his writings , he was sure he wouldn't fail in his favourite subject.
"Come in!" he heard a known voice breaking his reverie. No let him be imagining her was his first thought as he heard the deafening voice.
"Yes Mr. Siddharth? You are applying for internship here? Can I have your portfolio?" she asked still going through the files on her desk.
It was about 5 minutes , he didn't answer and her patience weared off. She was going to fire him straight away , she didn't entertain late comers and lazy , useless people.
"You can leave if you.." she started but stopped seeing his face looking up from her files momentarily. She smirked at his shocked figure.
"Oh look who is here , Mr. Owl eyes!" she said and he wanted to smack the smirk of her face there and then. He needless to say kept quiet and forwarded his portfolio.
"Siddharth , your work is impressive! I mean seeing you no one can say these are your thoughts and writings. I hope u aren't plagiarizing?" she asked mocking him at last.
"You have been hired as an intern. Come to office from tomorrow , sharp 7 am." she ordered and he was about to go stomping away when his face lit up in a smirk.
"Excuse me ma'am , may I know your name?" he asked in a shy voice and she widened her eyes at his expressions. He was looking extremely tender and sweet unlike him.
"Roshni , Roshni Patel!" she said with pride and he spoke ,"Don't you think you need a secretary first ma'am?"
His question made her boil up in anger , how could he say that. Yes her cabin was in a mess , meaning nothing could be found out when needed but still.
As he was about to go out having been successful in the mission of irritating her , he was stopped in his tracks by her shocking decision.
"Fine Mr. Siddharth Khurrana , you are my new secretary and your job starts now. Clean up my table." she folded her arms awaiting his excellent response..
"I won't come here at 7 am to do this secretary work. My dad can buy this whole company of yours , you get it?" he bragged.
"Oh really? So you are another rich spoilt brat. Just know that you can become an independent guy only by experimenting with life. Nothing happens sleeping in your house , watching TV and partying all night long." she said seriously and he was speechless now.
"I will be back tomorrow morning at 7 ma'am." seeing him answering so sincerely made her realize she had spoken a bit more harshly.
"Siddharth , I forgot to tell you one thing. If you do this secretary job I'll publish your work in the weekly newspaper." Roshni said smiling a bit.
He smiled and said ,"Thanks!" He went away deeply pondering on her words as he sipped his coffee standing at the canteen.
Suddenly an idea struck his mind and he ran back in her cabin , only to bump in her and all the files in her hand lay scattered on the floor with coffee over them.
"Are you seriously mad? How will we possibly get these drafts back now?" she shouted and the whole office was surprised , Roshni never shouted unless necessary.
Sidhdharh went backwards mumbling a faint apology. He reached his house and again saw the same dream , the girl and the papers , but still didn't complete it.
Next Day
Siddharth was standing outside the door of her cabin with a cup of coffee and a smile plastered on his face.
Roshni came rushing and again stumbled on him , not watching her way. Siddharth had already seen her approaching and had hid the coffee cup behind his back.
As she came whizzing on him , he steadied her petite frame and saved her from falling. The papers from her file had flown everywhere as they stared at each other.
Roshni saw he was holding her with one hand , his other hand was on something behind his back. She got on her feet and moved his other hand forward.
"Oh my god Siddharth. Your hand is burnt by the coffee , why were you not paying attention?" she asked blowing air on his hand from her mouth slowly.
"Because I was lost in you." he replied absentmindedly and she looked up at him. A light blush adorned her cheeks.
Roshni thought it was high time to apologize for her behaviour the other day but her ego didn't allow her to admit he was right.
"I AM SORRY!" she wrote on a card and sent it to his desk. As soon as he opened it , a million dollar smile came up.
"It's okay Roshni with beautiful eyes" he wrote and sent it back via the chai wala. He could see her blushing as she read the note.
He saw how she folded it and kept it in her purse. He had woken up indeed because of her , he never used to care about work , but with her even being a secretary was fun.
Later in the day
After a while the office was shutting down , only Roshni was left to go home. She got up from her place and headed out but was scared to see the door had been closed.
"Somebody help. Siddharth?" she called out and then was clueless as to why she had taken his name only? She chucked her thoughts and kept calling for help.
It was almost one hour and no one came for her rescue. Suddenly she felt a pat on her shoulder , she turned too much frightened by now.
Siddharth was gathered in a bone-crushing hug the next moment. Roshni hugged him with all her might , she was scared and he was like her knight in shining armour.
"Roshni , whom did you scare away? Just see they locked us in the office.!" he advised her smirking.
He suddenly got the dream flashes again and he tugged at her stole that had covered her face. It was enough to make him believe she was the girl who haunted his dreams.
"I love you." he blurted out and she was shell-shocked buy replied back , "I love you too." He was suddenly taken by surprise.
"Wasn't this one abrupt proposal? I mean we met yesterday?" he said scratching his head for a possible explanation.
She held his hand and said ," It isn't necessary that everything will have a reason. Sometimes you gotta go with the flow , follow your instincts."
"But there's a reason why I said what I did." he complained like a four year old toddler. She nodded asking him to narrate her reason.
He without any hitch told her the whole dream and his assumption of that. She was shocked and her hands were shivering more and more.
His concern for her reflected on his face. He held her hands close and kissed them slowly , she smiled at his gesture.
"You know I have the similar dream. But in my dream the knight isn't seen , I get so irritated when I don't see the knight you know.." she spoke and kept blabbering like a chatterbox.
After around 30-40 minutes her story ended but to see the best sight in front of her. Sid was sleeping with his face nuzzled in her lap.
She stroked his hair and he softly said ," You woke the passion in me Roshni. I am responsible only because of you."
She smiled and said ,"You made the arrogant self in me die down and also I will always protect you." she said as he grinned with his eyes closed.
She didn't know if he was sleeping or awake but she had done what she was destined to do ,'Wake Up Sid.!"
Wake Up Sid the article was published and became a huge hit instantly.
