It was just another regular day for khushi '.she got up with a beautiful smile on her face as if welcoming the morning'woke her sister payal to which payal responded with a grunt and rolled over on the other side'as usual'
Khushi did her aarti and was preparing the breakfast when payal walked in to help'."khushi 'why dint u wake me up'I m so late for work" '.
"ya ya jiji'blame it on me'" said khushi
"u know it is YOUR fault today khushi " said payal with a finger pointing at khushi
"as I said jiji ..it IS MY FAULT like every other day.." said khushi..totallly enjoying teasing her jiji
"haye re nandkishoooree'" enters buaji
"what are u both upto???on a mission to kill your buaji by not giving her food???"
Both the girls started giggling'
Khushi whispered "now that is something I would love to try jiji haha"
Payal shooshed her "buaji breakfast is ready'we will get it on a the table in a minute.."
After finishing breakfast payal and khushi raced to get ready and leave for work
Fighting,laughing ,pushing,tripping over each other'.
Khushi gave one last look at d mirror "perfect" winked at herself n left d room and payal was late ..nothing new in that
"I m leaving buaji'" khushi called out..
"wait titaliyaaa'" screamed buaji'
"I m right here buaji ..u don't ve to scream and let the whole world know "
Buaji raised her hand to beat her ..she escaped n pulled buaji's plait n kissed her on her cheek n ran out of the house..
"don't talk to strangers n come back home on time sanka devi " screamed buaji after her
Khushi screamed back " ok buaji 'I ll talk to all the stranger on the way n ll never come back on time " laughed khushi
"haye re nandkishoore"
Khushi took a file out of her bag n held it high to cover herself from the sun'waiting for her bus to arrive'while chatting away with her "bus friends" as she puts it
This was her daily routine'take a bus to a stop near her office 'n then walk a few miles from there to her work place'
It was alright during the day but not during d nights'she mostly tagged someone along'a friend a colleague 'but never alone'
"finally " she muttered'
Her bus arrived ..she and the rest of the group climbed in'
First thing she did every day was search for 'she looked around'ahh there HE is'he waved ..n she smiled back'
He signalled n asked how she was n she replied n asked d same
"hogaya??" asked khushi's friend meena ..whoz been witnessing dis interaction from the past one year or soo'.not a word more not a word less'in this case not a signal more not a signal less
"ha hogaya ! " replied khushi with a warning look on her face
It was one of those days when nothing was going right for khushi'firstly she got up late...almost burned down the kitchen n in a hurry to reach the bus stop on time she flunged her bag with files n totally forgot to take her wallet '
The bus conductor refused to consider any reason'that is when this guy 'stranger then'helped khushi ..and since then they ve been "bus pals"
He was cute said meena ..but khushi never thought of him that way'he looked more like a serious intelligent sorts ..there was something about him'something mysterious..something which khushi could not get her hands on'
She brushed it off 'they ve hardly exchanged any words'how can she simiply judge him'it was wrong'
But yes she secretly agreed with meena dt some part of her enjoyed this'whatever this was'but she would not dare admit it infront of meena '
Working in such a humangous office was every girl's dream..n our khushi was no less'
She had always aspired to become the biggest trendiest fashion designer'
And the first step towards her dream was to get a job in PANACHE '.which was not easy at all'but somehow by devi mayya's grace she got it'
No no'it was purely out of her talent..she thought'd biggies of dis fashion house surely must ve recognized her hunger for fashion n sniffed her out of chandichowk' she used love giving herself the credit'
Little did she know'it was no coincidence'nothing happens just like that'people make it happen'.
Like a sincere employee she was dedicated,hardworking n making her way up'to become d top most designer'
Somebody snapped two fingers infront of her face..n khushi came out of her reverie'"daydreaming already?" asked NK "its not even noon yet'"
"no'I..was not'umm'day dreaming.." totally annoyed by NK'
NK is a colleague and is 3 years senior to khushi that means he is assisting the THE ASSISTANT '
"yes u were sweety'admit it'so what were u thinking about now'or rather..WHO were u thinking about???"
"cut it out NK 'I was just'working on some designs ok"
"speaking of which 'lara is not very happy with d designs honey'I think u better get yourself prepared for some serious blasting.."
"aarrgghh..what have i done now??"
"good'u have done a good and a better job than lara n so'"
"oh my god NK I will never understand these office politics'IF I do a bad job I m in trouble 'IF I do a good job I m in more trouble'what exactly do they expect me to do???"
"have u ever tried to be a mediocre??"
"what?"
"yes khushi'try being a little more average-ish ok?"
NK left her alone ..hoping she will figure out soon
Khushi could never understand the way things worked in d the real world'all she was ever taught was work hard and u will succeed any which way'but after working here she totally laughs at it
She definetly dint like the way things worked here but she had no choice ..she had to stick to her job 'atleast till she gets to learn something concrete'
She can then open up her own boutique 'store full of her dreams'n someday even a fashion house may be..
But destiny had some other plans '
It was lunch hour'khushi reached her office canteen n her phone starts to ring "jiji'how was ur day so far?"
"hi khushi'ya it was fine'what about u ? anything more than hi n how r u from ur mystery lover?"
"jiji for the Nth time he is not my "mystery lover" n no nothing more than hi n how r u ?"
Payal n khushi got on with their conversation on how they hated working in their respective companies
They would go on for 15-20 mins n only after finishing lunch they would end the call
Khushi finished her day's work ..came out of her office to find no one there'she thought of waiting for someone to tag along her till the bus stop'after all it was past 9...it was pretty scary in such deadly hours'she cursed herself for giving one last look at the designs n taking some extra time out '
"now walk alone khushi gupta" she cursed again
It was only a 10 min walk to the bus stop'she was not scared of that'she was worried about d road she had to take to reach there'only if there was someone with her'
She took a deep breath n started walking'
Looking back every now and then to check if anyone was following'why was it only in such times that she felt there was someone just behind her to bite her?? "no more vampire diaries" she took an oath..
Suddenly there was a gust of wind'she looked around n found nothing..just a lonely road n she in the middle of it'
And then'out of nowhere ..came a speeding car 'towards her'she froze'shocked out of her wits'she wanted to move'she could not'she wanted scream..she could not find her voice 'she saw the white SUV was coming closer to her'she closed her eyes'and just like that the car passed her n she heard the car crash into the tree'
End of life'
Or
A new beginning'
