Dreams Do Come True
A beautiful ballroom was getting decorated with flowers, candles,
lights all over. The workers were hustling and bustling everywhere with the
decorations to cutlery in their hands. Khushi smiling twirls around in a 360
degree turn to observe the room. She was in a complete awe at how gorgeous the
room looked with all the lights, flowers, and candles around. She had
accompanied her friend Sameera to the ballroom to lend a hand with the
decorations. Sameera was assisting with the wedding reception that is supposed
to take place here the next day. She had asked Khushi for help as she was short
staffed as one of her workers had called in sick earlier that morning. Khushi with a biggest smile agreed as it was
her boss Lavanya Kashyap that she worked for was out of town attending a
business conference and had nothing, but time on her hands. Khushi had been interning with Ms. Kashyap's
firm of event management for the past 6 months, she was her PA or more like her
beck and call girl. Khushi walked over to one of the pillars where a bowl with
water was with candles floating in them and smiled. Sameera walks in with her
headset on her head laughs at the sight of Khushi it was like she was a kid
left in a candy store. "If you are done with your la la land can you please
help me with decorating the rest of the chairs and tables?" Sameera asked her
friend with a cute smile playing on her lips. Khushi turned around at the voice
of her friend, walked up to her and says, "This is definitely a dream job Sam.
I wish Ms. Kashyap would get contracts like this, to organize wedding planning."
She got the blue satin cloth and began to tie around the chair like the rest of
them. Sam shakes her head, smiles sweetly and says, "Yeah, but her company only
takes contracts for fashions shows or big business parties, which I must say is
also good." Khushi nods her head, "It is Sam, but it is always the same old
thing, for decorations and everything else, nothing like a big, exuberant
wedding would be." Sam moves over to
next chair, "Well at least you get to meet the high-fi society type of people
in those events." Khushi rolls her eyes at the mention of meeting people;
little did she know that she was always stuck backstage making sure everything
ran smoothly without any discrepancies.
Khushi and Sam worked with cheerful laughs, gossiping and not
even realized that all of the chairs were done in the room. Finally, as the
last one was done and Khushi's cell phone rang. She pulled it out of her pant
pocket, with the caller id indentifying her boss. She answered, "Good afternoon
Ms. Kashyap. How is your conference going?" Khushi asked with a smile on her
lips. Lavanya was exiting the conference room and making her way to her hotel
room suite, "It went fine Chamkeeli, listen I will be arriving late evening
tomorrow night," she arrived at her hotel suite, placed the key card to open
the door, "So I want you go over to my place and make sure that heater is
turned on as well the place is dusted." Khushi nods her head as the
instructions were given to her, "Okay Ms. Kashyap it will be done. Is there
anything else you would like me to do besides that?" She waited for her reply,
meanwhile Lavanya had slipped out of her high heel sandals and made her way to
bar to pour herself a drink, "No that would be all for now, oh and make sure
you get the finest bottle of the red wine I like." Khushi walks over to the end
of table and says, "Yes I will get the wine. You have a safe flight back home
Ms. Kashyap and have a good night." Lavanya holding her drink walks towards the
balcony says, "Mhh." Hangs up the phone and takes in a deep breath as this had been
a tortures week for her with all the conferences. One thing that made all
better was that her travelling boyfriend was coming back into town tomorrow and
she was over excited to see him. Last time she saw him was 2 months back and
boy she craved to see him. With his thoughts on her mind, she placed the glass
down on the table, walked over to the bathroom to take a hot shower.
Sam walked up to Khushi and asked, "Who was that your evil
boss?" She laughs at her playfully. Khushi rolls her eyes at Sam, slaps her
shoulder, "Yes that was her and she is coming back tomorrow evening." Sam with
a sad face, "Oh what poor baby, fun time is over and it is back to slave work."
Khushi laughs out hard, "I do not do slave work."Sam raises one of her eyebrows
with a serious face, "Oh really." Khushi finally giving up shakes her head,
"Okay fine I admit that sometimes she is overbearing and insensitive, but she
is the best event planner in the city." Sam still giving her a serious face
says, "Yeah she may be the best, but that does not mean you have to take all of
her abusive remarks." Khushi knew that once Sam gets started on this topic
there is no stopping her, so decided to ease her worry, "Okay baba I won't, but
you know as well as I do that I am learning a lot from her." Sam shakes her
head, places her right hand on Khushi's shoulder and tenderly says, "Khushi you
are very talented and creative. I know that any company would be glad to have
you on their team." Khushi smiles at her friend, hugs her tightly and breaks
the embrace, "Thank you Sam for believing in me, but like they say you got to
start somewhere and then climb up the ladder," She looks around the room, "I
don't just want to work for a company, but be the owner who runs that
management company." Sam nods her head in agreeing with her friend, "You will
Khushi, because I have every faith in you and that is once you set your mind on
to something you achieve it." Khushi
smiles lovingly at her friend, "Okay enough of this serious talk, when is Payal
done her work? We are going out for dinner aren't we?" Sam totally forgot about
the dinner plans, sticks her tongue out, "Oye sorry I totally forgot that we
had dinner plans tonight," she gives an apologetic smile to Khushi, "I have to
stay in till late to oversee the rest of the planning and make sure everything
is in place."
Khushi understanding Sam's situation nods at her as she knew
that work comes first and to make sure nothing falls apart, "You are forgiven
by me, however not so sure about Payal." Sam starts to giggle at the thought of
Payal being mad, "I can just imagine her face, all furious with rage and
anger." Khushi and Sam look at each other with serious face, and then burst
into a fit of laughter. Khushi starts to wipe the tears from the edge of her
eyes, "You know she is a total drama queen and can't stay mad for too long,"
Sam laughs at the mention of Payal being a drama queen, "I will take care of
her, no worries babe." Both friends hug it out and Khushi leaves Sam so that
she can complete the rest of her work. Khushi takes her phone out, texts Payal
that they should meet at home and decide where to go for dinner.
Payal came home and both her and Khushi decided they would go
Italian for dinner. They were seated at the restaurant waiting on their order
and chit-chatting about their day. Payal at first was really mad at Sam for
missing the dinner, but later calmed down as she could not stay mad at either
one of her friends for too long. Khushi then out of the blue got an interesting
idea in her head, "Hey you know what?" Payal looks at her with a questionable
face for her to continue, "We should surprise Sam at the hall and take some
gelato for her." Payal instantly liking
the idea, smiles widely at Khushi, "Great idea, let's do that I mean I am sure
she must be exhausted from all the running around and a scoop of gelato will
surely make her day." Khushi nods her head in excitement, calls the waiter over
and orders the gelato's to go. She
ordered strawberry flavour for Sam, pistachio for Payal and for herself
delicious chocolate. They paid the bill and made their way to the hall. It took
them 15 minutes to reach the hall, they entered the place and Khushi made her
way towards the elevator. The wedding reception hall was located on the 3rd
floor, so that they had to take the elevator, however Payal's feet froze on the
step as soon she sees the elevator opening. Khushi turns around and sees the
frightened look on Payal's face. Payal slowly gulps her throat, looks at the
elevator and starts to dizzy. She turns her head to look at Khushi, "I will
take the stairs and meet you there." Khushi now perplexed at her friend's
behaviour, gives her a quizzical look, then it hits her, "Oh come on Payal, you
have to get over your fear of phobia over riding on elevators someday." Payal
gives her a glare, "Right this coming from a person who has a fear of flying,
besides it is easier said than done." Khushi nodding her head agreeing with Payal,
as she too had a fear of flying on planes and every time even if she looks at
an air-plane she starts to panic. The elevator opens, Khushi gets inside the
elevator, while Payal walks towards the staircase all this while Khushi yells
out, "Good luck climbing three sets of flights." With that being said the door
to the elevator closed.
A man dressed in crisp, black suit is seen walking along with
some of his staff on the 3rd floor. He had just exited the hall
adjacent to the wedding reception and was making his way towards the elevator. One
of the workers asked, "So, sir did you like the hall area?" The man looked at
his worker with sternness and answered, "It will do. Make sure you get the hall
booked for the fashion show as soon as possible." The worker nodded his head in
agreement and made notes on his notepad. The man presses the elevator button,
while checking his messages on his phone.
The elevator bell rings indicating it had arrived and without looking
where he was walking, bumped right into a petite girl with a bang. Khushi
startled at the contact of bumping hard into a body splashed all of the gelato
ice-cream over his expensive suit. Her
eyes begin to turn wide with shock at what she had just done. She slowly looks
up towards the tall, lean, and sculpted man in front of her. As soon as she
locks her eyes with his, she gets scared out of her wits, the dark rage,
intensity, anger all pouring out of his eyes was making her tremble on her
feet. She begins to open her mouth to apologize, when she was abruptly cut-off,
"Do you have a death wish?" Khushi gulps her throat slowly and answers, "I am
really, really, really sorry sir." She gives him an apologetic look that she
was beyond sorry as she had not meant to ruin his suit. The man takes in a deep
breath, gives her disgusted look and says, "Your sorry is not going to fix my
suit." Khushi knew that any amount of apologies will not make this all better,
"I realize that sir, I can give you my addressee so that you can send me bill
and I will pay for your dry-cleaning." She sincerely tells him. He turns to one
of his workers and gestures with his head to deal with her. Khushi slowly exits
the elevator so that he can get in. He turns around with his face serious,
looks directly into her eyes as the doors to elevators were closing. Khushi
kept on looking into his eyes; they were dark chocolate brown, with a hint of
honey in them.
Khushi then turns towards the worker and asks, "Who was that?"
The worker with a polite smile answers, "That was Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada."
Khushi with a shocked look on her face blinks her eyes rapidly as she knew that
name, hell everyone in the city knew that name. He was the great Arnav Singh
Raizada, rich, influential, ruthless business man and above all the most wanted
bachelor. Each and every girl would throw themselves at him, but he was not at
all interested in any of them. Here she had made a major blunder of dumping the
ice-cream all over his expensive suit. "You
are very lucky ma'am." The worker tells her with a smile. Khushi with a
confused look asks, "Why am I lucky?" The worker softly smiles at her and explains,
"You were saved from the wrath of great Arnav Singh Raizada today, because
anyone who crosses his path this way surely regrets to live the next day." Khushi
realizing that she indeed was saved prays to her Devi Maiyya for saving her rear
end. The worker takes in all of her details regarding her addressee and leaves
from there while Payal approaches and asks, "Is everything okay? Khushi shakes her head in negative, grabs her
hand and leads her towards the hall where Sam was. Payal baffled with her
behaviour starts to walk with her as Khushi tells her that she will tell her
what happened as soon as they get to Sam.
