Chapter 1

Khushi checked the time as she, along with her friend Anjali, waited for the signal to turn Green.

Looking at the sky, Khushi murmered, "Hey Devi Maiyya please, please don't make me late today!!" Patting Anjali's shoulder, she said "Thanks yaar Anjali... Good that you saw me on the way... Or else I would have been so late..." Making a sad face, she continued in a frustrating tone, "I don't understand why my scooty betrayed me today... Why today?!"

Anjali smiled looking at Khushi through the mirror. "No problem yaar Khushi, what are friends for?" she winked.

Both laughed.

Anjali sped up her scooty as the signal turned green. Both were busy chatting, as usual. As they were turning round the corner, a car came speeding towards them.

Khushi's eyes widened. She screamed...

"Anjaliii!!! Look ahead!!!" screamed Khushi.

Both vehicles came to a screeching stop. The girls heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was no damage caused. But Khushi was enraged. She got down from the scooty and walked towards the person driving the car. She knocked hard on the window. The person, irritated, opened the window glass.

Khushi began hammering him... "What do you think of yourself? Can't you see the red signal? First of all, you don't follow the traffic signal, and secondly you drive rashly"

The person was about to interrupt but Khushi didn't give him a chance to speak. She went on...

"You drive a Mercedes doesn't mean you can do whatever you want! What if something had happened to us?!"

The person controlled his anger with great difficulty. Anjali was trying to pull Khushi back, but in vain. The person was about to close the window, when Khushi stopped him saying, "Wait!! I haven't finished yet!"

The person stared back at her with least interest.

Khushi continued, "I have my interview today. This is my dream job. If I get late today, YOU will be responsible for it!"

Now the person was boiling in anger. An angry voice broke Khushi's link of words... "Shut up!! Just shut up!! Do you even know what you are saying? I haven't even touched your scooter, and you are making a fuss of something that never happened. If you get late for your interview, you and only you will be responsible for it!!!" He threw an angry glance at Khushi as he closed the window saying, "What a waste of time...!!!"

He drove away. The gathered crowd too moved on. Khushi was still staring at the car as it moved out of sight. She took out a writing pad and a pen from her satchel and noted down the car number.

"What are you doing?" asked Anjali, confused.

"I won't leave that guy. What does he think of himself?! Laad Governer kahin ka!!" said Khushi angrily.

"Khushi, let's go now... Or else we will be late...!!" said Anjali igniting the engine of her scooty.

Both left for their destination.

They reached there, but were half an hour late. Both had their interviews for different departments, Khushi for 'Event Management' and Anjali for 'Accounting'. As Anjali parked her scooty, Khushi hurried into the building straight to the reception.

Still catching her breath, Khushi said, "Sorry, we got late... Have the interviews begun?"

The receptionist smiled and said, "No, Arnav Sir hasn't arrived yet... The interviews will begin in some time"

"Thank you so much!!" said Khushi feeling relieved.

Anjali entered, and both occupied their seats among many other job aspirants. Both sat down and smiled at each other.

The AR Group - The one with whom everyone dreamt to work! Arnav Singh Raizada, the Managing Director and son of the owner Anup Singh Raizada, was said to be a stubborn and rude individual, not at all comfortable to work with... but at the same time a very handsome young man!! But none of the applicants had seen him. The employees feared him, but they considered themselves fortunate to be working with such a great brand name!!

Everyone waited anxiously for the interviews to begin. The best friends, Khushi and Anjali, both had excellent academic records and considered themselves strong contenders of one of the very few vacancies available here.

As they waited, Khushi looked around observing the campus. She looked outside the window and was shocked!! She took out her writing pad to confirm, and a cry came out of her throat. Everyone looked at her. She pretended as if nothing had happened.

Khushi was busy looking around as if looking for something... or probably someone!

"What are you doing Khushi? Ab yahan kuchh gadbad mut karna!!" said Anjali warning her.

"Anjali... That Mr. Laad Governer is here too..." said Khushi. Pointing outside the window, she said "See that car! It's the same number!"

"Leave it, Khushi" said Anjali ignoring her.

"Has he too come for the interview here?" said Khushi thoughtfully. "I will see how he gets the job!" she said with determination.

Anjali was irritated. "Khushi, now please..."

Just then, the PA of Arnav, Ms. Roma, came and introduced herself to everyone. She declared that interviews would begin any moment from now. The applicants of different departments were taken to different places for interviews. Khushi and Anjali wished luck to each other, and parted to their destinations.

Ms. Roma was announcing the names one by one. People were entering and coming out. Their faces didn't seem the same as they came out. It was clear that they were having a tough time through the interview.

Khushi gulped seeing this. "Hey Devi Maiyya, please get me this job..." prayed she.

Khushi was interrupted as Roma called out her name.. "Ms. Khushi Kumari Gupta!"

"Yes!!" answered Khushi nervously.

"You may go in..." said Roma with a smile.

"Thank you!" nodded Khushi.

Praying, Khushi knocked the door... "May I come in Sir?"

"Yes..." she heard a heavy voice.

As Khushi entered, she closed the door behind her and looked ahead... She was shocked...

"You?!!"
