Khushi, was a 18 year old girl who had just moved to New York to attend New York University. Even though she was missing England, her first day in New York was amazing, tall buildings, people everywhere, a promise for a future.
Khushi decided to shop at her College bookstore, and buy things for her dorm and also for her new dorm mate, who went by the name of Anjali. Khushi bought her core class books, a couple of college sweatshirts, a new diary and some delicious chocolates for Anjali.
"Taxi! Taxi!" Khushi called out and got in.
"124rth University Way please."
It was raining hard, a huge grey cloud had set over New York, and it was beautiful. Khushi loved rain, ever since she was a little girl, feeling the water drip down her body, taking all her worries away. On the way to the dorm, the taxi passed by a magnificent building, "AR". Khushi from the start had planned her intern there, and was hoping to nail her interview which was in a couple days.
"$7.25" said the taxi driver. Khushi handed the man with a generous tip, "Keep the change" she said with a smile. Khushi stood outside her new dorm. "Home" she said.
She quickly rushed inside to meet her new roommate, once inside, she saw a tall, beautiful woman around her age unpacking her clothes. Her long black hair was tucked behind her ears. Khushi closed the door and suddenly Anjali tuned around with a huge smile on her face.
"You must be Khushi! I'm so happy to meet you!" She half ran over to Khushi kissing her on both sides of her cheeks fallowed by a hug.
"Khushi laughed, "I'm so so so happy to meet you too Anjali."
That night Anjali and Khushi revealed everything about each other. Khushi explained to Anjali how she was an only child and lived with her aunt and uncle back home. Her parents had died when she was very young. Anjali, had an older brother named Arnav who also lived in New York, and she told her how her parents lived in England. Once Khushi heard Anjali say England, Khushi screamed with joy.
"England! That's my home town! I didn't know you were from England!"
Anjali laughed;" Oh Khushi, I love you so much" They both laughed. Khushi felt like she found her long lost sister.
"Khushi, I know its last minute but you have to come to my brother's party with me tomorrow! It's going to be so great! We can go shopping for dresses tomorrow morning, get our hair and makeup done and head to my brothers private suite and best of all, just imagine, men in suits everywhere!!! Anjali fell back onto her bed with a huge smile on her face.
Khushi smiled, thinking of Anjali's proposal. "Hot men in business suites." Khushi shivered at just the thought.
"Of course I would come, but it's your brother's party, he won't like me coming unannounced."
Anjali gave Khushi and annoyed look and suddenly whipped out her, "Fine! We'll ask him right now!"
Anjali dialed her brother's number, "Arnav Bhaiya I miss you so much!
It was obvious how much she loved her older brother.
" Atcha baat sune'."
As Anjali continued, khushi tried making out what her brother was saying on the other end.
"Khushi did you hear" My brother wants to talk to you!"
Khushi look at her with wide eyes, "Kya?!"
"Yes here! I'll be right back, I need to go get some ice for our drinks, and go get the pizza, wait till you try New York styled pizza!
Anjali, gave Khushi her cell phone and walked out the door with a smirk on her face.
Khushi stared at the phone, what was she supposed to say? After what seemed like an hour, Khushi put the phone by her ear, and inhaled'
"Khushi"
Khushi's heart pounding fast against her chest, her name never sounded more amazing.
